    Loved the place, gorgeous! Very good service and delicious food. I had a spaghetti bolognese because the reviews were good and my husband had a pizza. It was both wonderful. Keep it up 👍

    They have really good food and the service was very good too. A nice place to hang out in groups either it be with family or friends or to even go alone. I personally really liked their chocolate cake. The overall ambiance of the place is very chill and calming. Would recommend 👍🏽

    Good food, Cousy environment it’s great spot for family gathering or intimate date spot. The place was a little hard to find it’s a little out of the way, but good over all. The pepperoni pizza had a funny tasting funny, my only comment we had the lasagna, Alfredo and filet beef with mushrooms sauce were great!!

    Good place for a date. I ordered the chicken fettuccine and a margarita pizza. Pizza was good, but the pasta had too much butter. Garlic bread was amazing and the atmosphere was nice.

From appetizers to desserts, the menu offered a wide range of options that catered to different preferences, leaving us spoiled for choice. What truly sets this restaurant apart is the seamless combination of great service, warm atmosphere, and delectable food.

    This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. Service was fast and the food is pretty good, some italian classics and some twists, and for their prices it’s 100% worth it.

    Very classy place for going out on a date or business lunch. I went there couple of times and on both occasions, I wasn't disappointed. On my recent visit, I opted for their mozzarella pesto chicken pizza and I must say it was a delight. The quality of cheese they use is on point, a rare find in Addis! I did find the food a bit too salty but that depends on the individual. A tad expensive, but I would say worth it if you value ambience and good quality food over price.

    Amazing ambience and sitting space. Lovely Italian/Cuban music in the background. Food, drinks & customer service, excellent! Also the complimentary bread basket and chilli provided before the meal was a great combination!

    It is a nice place to go with both in groups and in couple. They offer a great service and fair price with a good customer care. And also, I really like the photos they use for decoration, they tell you nice story. Over all I like the space.

    This place offers a cosy environment, before you enter into the house you will observe a very nice red brick building which is very attractive for me, the restaurant specializes in Italian cuisine, the food was great, we had fried dishes and wasn't oily, the taste was good but it's lack a little bit seasoning.

    Hands down on of the best up and coming Italian restaurants in Addis. From the view, to the interior, the food and ambiance is impeccable . Few favorites, love the bbq on Thursdays (make sure you order it with their peanut and awaze sauce and bring your friends, you won’t stop eating). The pizza has to be one of my favorites and the Caesar salad is out of this world, tomato soup and the steak to name the few. Some how the space manages to be perfect for date night or spend a group outing. The owner Blaine had definitely brought her New York style and taste to town and it is your next hot spot in Addis

    Wonderful people, food is good, parking at day time is sticky, because of Sanford School. Excellent chef very concerned about the quality of food. 100 x better than Koba which is less than 500 yards west of Olive. Is highly recommendable for all occasions.

    Quality is good. BUT the pricing is wild. Stoped going:ordering because the menu online is not showing the prices of things. That’s just not okay. Ordered 2 pizzas at around 750. The price at pick up was 1320. That’s stuff you might want to let the costumers know, best by uploading current menus with correct prices. Bonus: If you sell a 4 cheese pizza with only 3 cheese, you should reflect that in price or offer something as substitute. Especially when the pricey cheese is not on the pizza. ;)

    Food was pretty good and the vibe of the place is very nice. One thing, do not go in big groups (even booked a few days in advance. They were nice but they were understaffed so i cant say the service was good.

  • 4/5 Mikiyas G. 1 year ago on Google
    The interior design was brilliant. Food was not bad either maybe a little expensive. Ideal place to go for a date.

  • 3/5 Miss M. 8 months ago on Google
    The only nice thing about the place was the interior design. The service was very bad. I kept ordering for a juice or cafe latte, but they had neither. They didn't have milk, and as for the juice, the power kept going out most of the time, so they were unable to prepare it. The food was ok. I never got the juice I had ordered. I also didn't see the point in the waitress that kept coming over asking for what I wanted to drink because even when the power was back, she didn't bother to place the order. I just settled for an Ambo water. Anyway, it's not the first time I've been disappointed at restaurants in Ethiopia. This place is a no for me thumbs down.

  • 1/5 Wongel D. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    The place had a nice vibe and the interior design was cool. The service was great, but the food was an absolute letdown. I ordered a simple chicken pizza, expecting it to be fine, but it arrived cold, dry, and burnt. Surprisingly, another person at my table also had the same experience with their pizza. Additionally, the menu lacked clarity – they offered a cauliflower steak option right next to the fish dishes, leading the other diners to mistakenly believe they were getting actual steak. On top of that, the taste was underwhelming, and the food was way overpriced. The waiter didn't seem to realize this was an issue because of the new menu. It would have been fair for them to offer some form of compensation for this “misunderstanding”. In any case, I wouldn't suggest the place and have no plans to return.
