" My dining experience at L'Olive was exceptional! The ambiance was warm and inviting with a Mediterranean flair. We started with the mezze platter which was delicious, and I had the chicken kebab for my main course. The flavors were bold and fresh! My partner also enjoyed their lamb dish immensely. The service was friendly, and they were very attentive. We topped off our meal with baklava that was sweet and indulgent! I can't recommend this spot enough; it's truly a hidden gem in Venice! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner here last weekend and absolutely loved it! The restaurant might look small, but don’t let that fool you; the food is divine. I had the seafood tagliatelle which was bursting with flavors and generously portioned. The staff was welcoming and made sure we were well taken care of. We couldn’t decide on just one dessert, so we sampled a few and they were all spectacular! The ambiance was perfect for an evening out. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an unexpected gem! L'Olive’s food was outstanding from start to finish. The warm welcome and attentive service made the dining experience pleasant, and the Mediterranean menu had numerous tempting options. I settled on the grilled octopus and it was amazing—tender with great seasoning! For my main course, I had the seafood paella, bursting with flavor! Great wine selection too! I can never get enough of their baklava—sweet and rich! Will definitely revisit this lovely restaurant when I’m in town again. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to L'Olive was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted warmly. The ambiance was intimate and inviting with soft lighting that complemented the Mediterranean decor beautifully. We started with the babaghanoush, which was rich and smoky, followed by the octopus that was grilled to perfection. I ordered the lamb chop special, and I must say, it was heavenly! The lamb was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I was pleasantly surprised with a complimentary dessert of baklava at the end, which was the perfect sweet note to end our meal. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, offering stellar recommendations. I can't wait to return with friends and family. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Mediterranean food! " (*Curated Review*)

" L'Olive is tucked away but definitely worth the search! I visited based on a friend's recommendation. I couldn't believe how lovely it was inside, the setting was perfect for a romantic dinner. The wait staff was friendly and had excellent suggestions from the menu. We opted for the samplers, allowing us to taste various dishes, and everything was made fresh! The baklava was the cherry on top of our meal. Truly a stellar experience that exceeded my expectations! I'll be planning another outing here very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" L'Olive has won my heart! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere made us feel at home. The appetizers were delightful; we devoured every bit of hummus. I decided on the seafood pasta, and it was divine! The restaurant is small but cozy, with a friendly vibe and excellent service. Our meal ended with the grand finale—baklava, which was simply out of this world. I will definitely be making this a regular spot to visit whenever I’m in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" L'Olive is quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in Venice. The moment you enter, you can feel the warmth of the staff. The dishes are just bursting with flavor. The seafood tagliatelle I had was something I will dream about! My husband tried the gyro platter and couldn't stop raving about it. The service was impeccable; our waiter was attentive without being overbearing, which made for a very relaxed dining experience. I loved the vibrant Mediterranean atmosphere and the decorative touches throughout the restaurant. It's clear that this place is a labor of love for the owner and chef. We will be back soon and can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)
