Our Story

Since 1981

Olive's Italian Cuisine is proud to have served enjoyable California Italian meals since first opening our doors in 1981 to Santa Monica and the surrounding areas.

A lot has changed in the world since we first opened. Our values and commitment to serving traditional California Italian food in town have remained the same. Some of our employees have become second generation members of the Olive's Italian Cuisine family.

When you dine with us today you will find the same great atmosphere that you would have enjoyed decades ago. This creates the perfect venue for a lunch with your co-workers or a nice evening out with your family or friends.
