Lots of pictures and carvings on the wall. We were seated right away with our 7:30 reservation. My wife and ordered a glass of Tempranillo which was quite chilled. A little too cold so waited a while to drink. We started the meal with a caprese salad. Tomatoes and mozzarella was sitting on lettuce. My wife had to ask for some basil. I ordered penne pasta with onion,garlic, bacon, and tomato sauce. My wife ordered the creamy pasta with chopped shrimp and vegetables. She really enjoyed her dish. They did serve really good bread with a herbed butter. It was very good. Our waiter was friendly and gave good service.

The waiter was very prompt in bringing out the items in the order we wanted them salad first, pasta/pizza, then dessert. All the food brought out was so fresh and all cooked on the spot you can definitely tell. The pizza crust was very crispy and you can tell it was just wood fired right then and there I still had some of those wood fired elements on my hand when done eating my pizza slice! Yum! Also the ambiance is very cute cozy and also a cute romantic date spot as well. Music was playing settled in the background. Overall great experience and highly recommend if you're in Merida, Yucatan.

From Chicago, first time at Oliva today. Here are my thoughts:…read more -We had a bigger party of 8 people and made reservations ahead of time. They gave us a perfect private room! -We ordered the bruschetta for an appetizer, and it was excellent! The tomatoes were really, really good. -I got the cacio y pepe for my entree and it was easily the best I've ever had outside of Italy : ) Very tender pasta, in a peppery white sauce. -I tried the ravioli and it was delicious, nice spices and sauce. -Service was excellent! This place is on the fancier side. We got in with shorts, but more formal waiters, etc. -If I could only go back to one restaurant in Merida, this would be it. Highly recommended!

GREAT PLACE, RESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED - We've been here three times, twice inside and once outside…read more Inside it is very nice, attentive staff, and charming. Outside it was still pleasant but you sit on plastic chairs and most the diners outside, like us, waited about 30 minutes at our tables until our order was taken. Definitely the walk ons who eat outside seem to have less attention granted to them, but to sit inside you need a reservation when it is busy, so reservations are recommended. All that said once we placed our order the food was promptly served on all occassions. It was always rich and delicious, with all ingredients tasting super fresh. The flavors were bold but not overpowering, and the portion sizes were modest but fair. The prices were a bit high relative to other places you could find around here but generally speaking you pay for quality at this place. It's an excellent option for some homemade pasta and fantastic salads, but that also makes it super popular, so just be patient as you may need to wait at times. Still the wait is worth it, give it a chance you won't be disappointed. Happy eating! -John Seeto

For the past few years, I've been wanting to try out Piccoli's Italian Restaurant, so my wife and I…read moretried them out. The restaurant is in a strip mall, with plenty of parking. We were greeted by our very friendly waiter Pablo. The restaurant is very cozy and the seats are very comfortable, since I am a BIG guy, I love nice chairs. The start off with deep fried dough balls like Zeppoles, with a delicious balsamiq reduction sauce, they are hot and very tasty. For starters we ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana for $189 mxp, it come out piping hot, it had a lot of melted mozzarella cheese, with their signature tomato sauce, it was very good but the eggplants were little bitter. I ordered Baked lasagna with meat, Mozzarella and ricotta cheese, the pasta is homemade and this was absolutely delicious. My wife ordered spaghetti with pesto in Walnuts, she said was very good but a little greasy, but she loved it. Our waiter Pablo we extremely friendly and even speaks some English. Leticia, the owner stopped by our table to say hi, and tell us about the history of the restaurant, she is so friendly. I ordered some Homemade Apple Pie to take home, with some of their homemade ice cream, I had to later that night and it was absolutely delicious, the apples is soft with lots of cinnamon and the dough was buttery and Flaky. Wednesdays are Buy one Pasta dash and get the 2nd one Free. We will definitely go back! Chef Bob Lissandrello Merida

We ordered the Gorgonzola and honey bruschetta. The cheese and honey was delicious. They brought us bread and some sauces to dip in that were tasty.
