Reviews for Milo & Olive in Santa Monica, CA
Visited for 3rd time and and it seems even with a reservation we always have to wait for a table. There is no effort to serve... entrees together and appetizers come out often just before entree, bad timing. Last night they tried to serve us the wrongpizza & when we declined they took it out to the patio then came back from patio with, apparently swapped with a table outthere, our pizza. When we asked if it was on someone else's table manager sheepishly said no. We had them remake one so wewould receive fresh from the kitchen. I walked in the bathroom after a male employee exited and the seat was soaked in urine. Truly bad form, we won't be back. The sweet potatoes and chicken were delicious. Floor manager obviously needs some training,especially table numbers and restroom etiquette! Read more
Came here to try the Breakfast Pizza Roasted potatoes, pork belly sausage, farm fresh egg, pickled Fresno chilies, mozzarella &... fontina cream. Baked in a wood fire oven with perfect crust! Ordered online & that worked out well. Read more
I've only visited Milo & Olive in the morning for their baked goods so this review is for the pastries only. I stopped by on... two different occasions and each time I had a butter croissant. Both have nice savory flavor, one is better than the other withmore flakes and less dry interior. Overall, I don't think they justify the $5.5 plus 14.5% tax and fee price tag, which seemreally pricey to me. I've had a couple of other pastry items too and they were ok, nothing phenomenal, especially at thoseprices. Read more
The pepperoni & mushroom pizza was super good, though pick up was not very smooth because how busy the restaurant was. Really... loved the crust! Read more
First time here and it did not disappoint. The Vegan Farro Casarecce is ridiculously delicious and so much flavor! I could not... stop eating it. The Margherita pizza is really good. My personal fave though is the Garlic Knot. The presentation blew me away.Opening that up and seeing all that delicious garlic ???????????? inside, it was like opening a Christmas gift as a little kidand seeing your toy that you asked for. I was excited and mind blown. ???????? Delicious! I will order the Garlic Knot on everyvisit. Read more
Will go again / Price = Above average / Service = Above average / Cleanliness = Above average / Interior = Above average /... Parking = Below average I visited Milo & Olive with a friend and we ordered the Felini & 24 month aged parmesan, Milo choppedsalad, roasted baby broccoli, pork belly sausage & kale pizza, and tagliarini Bolognese. I do not have a negative review on anyof these selections. The parmesan cheese was absolutely delicious and pungent with the typical smell that accentuates it forcheese lovers. Possibly from the aging, it was on eof the most softest parmesan cheese I had. The Milo chopped salad gives agood mix of meat (from the pepperoni) and salad lover's taste. The asiago and breadcrumbs from the roasted baby broccoli gave somuch flavor to the dish to turn any veggie hateful individuals to the other side. The pork belly sausage & kale pizza balancesa meaty flavor with the the kale perfectly. Although the Bolognese was delicious as well, I will skip the details on that one asI usually do not order it which makes it difficult to compare. The interior is great and vibeful for a hangout with friends orto go on a date. Do not expect easy parking depending what time you visit. It seems that metered, street parking is the onlyoption. However, typical of the area. Read more
Milo & Olive just became one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles. Kudos to the chef! Every dish we had was delicious.... Highly recommend the garlic knot. Wow that was such a treat. The pizza and pasta were sensational. Great vibes and outdoorseating! Read more
The staff was really welcoming when we first arrived. All the tables were full when we arrived except one, and lots of to-go... orders while we waited. The service was a bit on the slow side but understandable given how many people were coming in. Thecrispy polenta fries were not exactly what we expected — not really crispy but along the lines of hush puppies. Either way,hot in the center and tasty with the tomato sauce. I think these would pair better with a protein entree. We got a pork bellykale and the A.G.CT pizza. The dough on the pizza was crispy and flavors really well-rounded. Would get again except thatthey’re a bit overpriced even for small specialty pies. Read more
