This place is excellent. The food is delicious, I ordered Olivio Trio as an appetizzer, the calamari, shrimp, jumbo crab cake, and capresse very good. Steak rissoto full of flavor and the steak tender. For dessert, I ordered a flourless chocolate cake very fresh. Service I gave them a 10. Ambiance, nice to have a good conversation.

The food was delicious. The bread and olive oil perfect! I ordered the Angus filet minion but instead of the risotto side, I got the pasta side. Only thing I would change is maybe getting the filet minion with the mashed potatoes. The pasta side was absolutely delicious so please do not get me wrong at all. However the Demi-glacé on top of the filet needed a more subtle side with it. As the Demi-Glacé was absolutely delicious on top of the perfectly cooked tender angus filet mignon. Secondly I do want to thank the staff for accommodating us. We arrived at 8:30 and they close at 9:00pm on a Monday night. So they stayed open a little later for us, so I could enjoy my birthday dinner here. Thank you to Chantel and Eddie! Good ambiance and welcoming environment. The appetizers calamari fritti and the caprese salad were absolutely delicious!! Just wished there was more fried calamari as it was absolutely divine with the spicy marinara sauce! Thank you for the Birthday dessert the Crème Brûlée mmmm perfect ending to an absolutely delicious dinner. Anyways thank you Olivio's Trattoria for the truly enjoyable birthday dinner

My mom and I ate here last night. She always orders chicken fettuccine Alfredo. She said it didn't take like what she was used to but she liked it. I love chicken piccata so I ordered that. It was creamier than I'm used to but FULL of flavor. The best piccata I've ever had! We had the lemonchello for dessert. Ambiance was nice, service was good too. We will go back!

Relaxing atmosphere and the food & drinks were top quality. Definitely worth the trip.

Yummy! This restaurant gets it! It's a hidden gem in west Simi. The inside is not that big but there is a covered outdoor dining area with ample heat lamps. We were comfortably sat outdoors by the lovely wait staff. We ordered olivio's trio appetizer, lobster raviolis and a minestrone soup. The trio consisted of fried calamari+shrimp, crap cake, and caprase. The calamari was okay, it had Parmesan cheese on it which in my opinion made it worse. The crab cakes were phenomenal, except I didn't like the sauce that was on top of it. If I were to get it again I'll ask it to be on the side. The raviolis were delicious, al dente pasta with a delicate filling, paired with a rich bisque with asparagus and a few fairly large shrimps, it was just the dish I was looking for! The minestrone was pretty good as well. There were a good amount of vegetables in it and it was seasoned just right. I wish the vegetables were not quite as cooked as it was but overall it was still good. We had the cheesecake for dessert which was recommended by our waitress. The cheesecake itself was delightful, but I think they were trying to do too much with the chocolate syrup. I would definitely come back to try more dishes.

Olivia's is a nice little local Italian restaurant. We have always enjoyed our meals each time we go. My favorite dish is the Penne with the pink sauce. It has sausage, peppers and onions mixed with the penne and sauce.

First visit to Olivio's recently. Had it bookmarked for a long time, and would often gaze longingly as we drove by on First Street often. I love good Italian food, and the place looked so cozy from the outside; a potentially great combination. Overall, the food was higher quality than can often be found in Simi Valley establishments. Being in Ventura County with so much fresh produce and other farm-to-table options nearby, it can be disappointing how unimaginative the meals can be in Simi. Olivio's does help raise the bar. If only the service went with the food. Our server looked like she didn't especially appreciate her job. She wasn't rude, but she didn't provide the kind of service that might be expected to match the food quality. Often at a good Italian restaurant the server will engage with the diners in explaining the nightly specials, or offer suggestions. This didn't happen. Dear Hubby and I weren't famished, so we decided to split an entrée and split a salad. We went with the chopped salad; full of tasty bites of various veggies over crisp lettuce with savory balsamic dressing. That, coupled with the bread service of tender, fluffy, flavorful bread, made for a great set up for the main course. For that, we chose the seared ahi tuna over pasta in a country-style tomato-based sauce. Excellent! One of the best entrees I've had in a long time. The kitchen was kind enough to split our orders onto two plates without an extra charge. The sauce was light, but satisfying with its perfectly seasoned elements. It was a chilly evening, so we passed on sitting outside on the patio. I would look forward to returning whenever it finally decides to warm up around here. The interior of the restaurant is long and narrow. There might only be 10 tables inside. The outdoor patio gives them a lot more capacity. Dear Hubby decided to pass on having a beer, since they only offer bottled, nothing on draft. We also passed on dessert, as the choices didn't have much to offer that was non-dairy. Again, this is one of the best quality foodie options that we've discovered in Simi. We shall return! Hopefully we'll have a happier server the next time.
