I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
We love family-friendly restaurants and attractions, places where all ages are welcome, and the happy sounds of children enjoying an outing. There are times, though, when the grown-ups need to slip out and go somewhere with a little different atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a romantic date night idea or cocktails with friends, Olivetta is a perfect adults-only restaurant in West Hollywood, CA, for a peaceful evening out.
Olivetta is a 21-and-over restaurant offering fine dining and late-night drinks along West Hollywood’s Restaurant Row.
The restaurant is plush, stylish, romantic, and with just the right amount of drama. It is a bungalow with several rooms, each with its own distinct personality, but all exuding a lovely and inviting combination of the elegant Mediterranean and Hollywood extravagance.
The main Dining Room is lavishly decorated with vibrant murals, a fabric-lined ceiling along a massive skylight, fringed fabric lampshades, and the rich tones of deep wood and gold.

Olivetti’s Living Room is warm and cozy with old-world charm, velvet furnishings, and a martini bar - a perfect spot for cocktails and conversations.
A contemporary, European-inspired coastal menu featuring Italian, Greek, French, and Spanish style seafood dishes, pastas, and steak dishes, all prepared with locally sourced ingredients but presented in a way that will indulge the world traveler in you.
Enjoy warm sourdough bread, a selection of small plates, and delicious entrees, including shareable meals for two like a 28-ounce Dover Sole or a 32-ounce Porterhouse.
The Sun Room feels like a public garden in Italy with its white walls, bougainvillea vines, stone fireplace, and outdoor-style furnishings. Striking artwork adorns each room in the restaurant.
The Parlor, or Bar Room, with its white stunning marble bar as the focal point, has deep blue walls and a fabric ceiling reminiscent of the French Riviera. This room is also home to the Cabaret Stage where DJ sets and live musical talent are hosted nightly.
Cocktails are unique and creative, part of a specially curated bar program by an award-winning mixologist. You’ll find updated versions of well-known beverages as well as original creations made with unique ingredients such as elderflower, jasmine honey, rainbow carrot, salted plum, black sesame, etc.
There is also a wonderful selection of wines and specialty mocktails.
