    I remember when I tried Oliva for the first time in Weibdeh and I can say it still tastes the same - Oliva is one of the good affordable places that offers an Italian experience in a lovely neighborhood in Shmeisani. The pesto penne is perfect, I loved the additional creaminess, the Oliva pizza is good but could be just a bit saltier I guess, as for the original garlic bread it was incredibly tasty. Finally we tried the tiramisu, the coffee, cream and sprinkled cocoa on the top blended perfectly together. The staff are super nice and friendly and the atmosphere is beautiful. I loved their outdoor seating area.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at this charming Italian restaurant in Amman, and it was truly a delightful experience. The ambiance is cozy and beautiful, creating the perfect setting for a wonderful meal. The garlic bread, served as an appetizer, was a fantastic start, and I highly recommend trying it. The pizza stole the show with its perfectly crispy crust, prepared in the classic Italian way. The pastas were equally impressive, cooked just right so you can truly savor the flavors without them being overdone. What adds to the joy of the dining experience is that the prices are quite reasonable, making it an affordable treat. Highly recommended!

    Oliva in general is great! This branch is definitely much better than Al Lweibdeh’s one! There is bigger room, cozy ambiance and great food and service, prices are very reasonable too Ordered pesto pasta (with sauce and chicken added) as well as beef bacon pizza and 2 fresh orange juice and the total was 17JDs

    This was my first visit to this branch and lucky me the weather was PERFECT! I've tried their seasonal salad, spinach pizza and both were beyond my expectations. Mangos and spinach were super fresh which added so much to the taste. Luckily, the kind restaurant's family recommended the tiramisu and it was AMAZING! Not too sweet not too bitter but just fresh and yummy!

    My experience to be honest was low key disappointing. I wanted to try this restaurant due to the huge amount of positive feedback and reviews, but it was way below the hype and expectations . The pizza was mediocre, under seasoned, a bit soggy because the crust is too thin, and the marinara sauce was a bit bland too.The Tiramisu was super disappointing and far from being authentic and true to the Italian original flavor, I couldn’t taste the mascarpone cheese in the filling nor the espresso in the lady fingers, the creme was white not yellow the way it should be indicating the use of regular whipping cream. On the other hand, the garlic bread was really good, the espresso was spot on, both the staff and their service were very responsive, attentive, and kind.

    Everything was wonderful, even the food came hot which was perfect. And the environment was spectacular even the staff were quite helpful and kind. One of the staff members recommended the tiramisu and it was amazing to say the least!! Would definitely recommend it to everyone!

  • 5/5 Amal S. 1 year ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Absolutely loved the food and atmosphere. It is so affordable. Me + my 3 friends ordered 2 pastas and 2 pizzas as well as a tiramisu and 2 soft drinks. Total was 31 but we all paid 7.75.The only thing I would say is to use the bathroom before because they only have a staff bathroom! Other than that 10/10 experience and food.
