The Little Oliva

Cindy has been wanting to try this restaurant. We all read about it and decided to experiment with this semi-new place in Rolling Hills Estates. We finally got a day when all three of us were free, so we made reservations for a late lunch. 

We were all in awe as we walked in. This charming place had a warm and exciting vibe. The menu was Greek, Italian, and American, so there was something for everyone. 

Cindy and I ordered the Santorini Moussaka since the article we read raved about the Moussaka. This had a different twist in that it had a layer of potatoes. We were excited since the last time we had Moussaka was at Petro's in Manhattan Beach. Sadly, we were both disappointed with it. It was not bad, but it was not great either. It was on the bland side. 

Sandi, however, had better luck. She had the Athens Chicken Skewers, which were delicious. I had a bite, and it was moist and juicy. 

Since most of us were unimpressed with the food and service, we didn't order desserts. The consensus was that we would not make a special trip back unless maybe if we were invited.
