Milo & Olive - Santa Monica (CA)

4 /5 Green Sea Shells Mag: Wellness by KK: Lovely spot. Found parking easily. Walked in without reservation, luckily found a spot with just a little wait. Intimate place, good for special occasions. Few veg options. Quantity of pasta is small for the price. Dessert was interesting! Love the open kitchen concept.

2 /5 Reza Vatankhah: The food was not as good as the pictures or their looks. We had the bread which was good. But then came the salad and the pizza. The salad had very little sauce, and its small portion made it good as a small side. At that price, you’d expect something better. The taste was also not unique. Like any salad you can easily make at home. The pizza was also saggy and leathery. It also was a little bit too oily for my taste. The atmosphere is really great. The service was also good. We had to wait for ~15 minutes until they can set up a table, even though we had a reservation for that exact time (there were several empty tables so I don’t know why it took so long). We had to stay standing throughout the wait which wasn’t the best.

5 /5 A M: Italian place with a small menu but quite tasty food. The star is the chicken Parmesan. Margherta pizza was quite good as well.

5 /5 Nemanja Zdravkovic: Really good food, we had burata salad with basil, tomato and peach very refreshing! For main course we shared pizza with for type of mushrums with some lemon dressing and cheese - great vegeterian option and we shared also Milanese chicken with arugula and cheese! You can check the potis as well, dish looks very good and taste excelent!

5 /5 F T: We tried a few dishes, the squash pizza, one of the salads, and the garlic bread. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The squash pizza had a great balance of textures and a nice depth of flavour. The salad was crisp and well-dressed, a perfect complement to the heavier dishes. The garlic bread, while delicious and incredibly fragrant, was very rich — practically swimming in olive oil and garlic. It was fresh and satisfying, but definitely on the heavier side. We also had a few cocktails, which were thoughtfully crafted and very tasty. Prices were on the higher end, but the quality of the food and drinks mostly justified it. The restaurant is relatively small with limited seating, and we didn’t notice any outdoor dining area. Parking is street-only and can vary depending on the time of day, so be prepared for metered spots or a bit of a walk.
