Di Oliva Italian Bistro & Bar

We went for the Garlic Festival on Saturday. It was SOOOO much more than that. Carson, the Tractor Tour Narrator, sold us on the bacon olive oil. On Sunday morning, we made scrambled eggs and hash browns with the oil. Carson was on point! These eggs and taters are incredible! Eggs and bacon that won’t kill us! Thank you, Olive Mill and Carson! We will be back!!!

I’ve wanted to go check out the Olive mill for years and finally went today. We loved it! The food was excellent! A bit pricey, but that’s not really surprising. Great quality, and creative (loved the jalapeño tartar sauce for the fish and the coleslaw was also unique and yummy! Tasted many of the olive oils and bought a bottle of my favorite. Sad they didn’t have the one that just won a silver in the international competition, but hopefully it will be back soon? I couldn’t find much info online about how the restaurant works, so for those curious, there are tables inside and outside. There are misters outside, but depending on the breeze, it can still be a little warm. There were two ceiling fans on the patio but one was broken, I think if that got fixed it would help make it feel a little cooler. You order at the counter and get one of those buzzy things to let you know when your order is ready. If you order alcohol, it will buzz twice, once for your drink order and again when your food is ready. I stayed at our table while my husband retrieved his drink and then a few minutes later the food. The outside area is lovely, with fire pits and other picnic table seating for cooler weather. It was over 100 today, so we stayed on the misted patio where it was not so warm. They also have gelato and a lot of yummy looking pastries at the counter, but we were so full after lunch we didn’t get any. Next time!

It's a separate section in the garden. Fewer people and less choice. Offers alcohol but not soft drinks. Open only on Saturdays and closes earlier, before 9 pm. Recommended if there are too many people at the eatery in the market.

We had a whole table of different entrées. Of course I forgot to grab a picture of the food as good before shots, but it was just so good! We were impressed by the service and those outside, helping us with the dining. I live here in Queen Creek and still love going. So I would definitely recommend it if you live close by or are visiting.We had little kids with us that day and usually this place is great for little kids. There’s lots of grass to run around in. We were there just after a big rainstorm. We sat in one of the tents. Staff was more than willing to turn heaters on for us and help us be back there where the kids wouldn’t bother anybody.

We went to this place on a whim and had lunch and do some shopping. We looked around the market for a little while and everyone was very helpful and would answer any question you may have about the products. The market has samples of the oils, balsamic vinegars and other sauces. We sample many different types and found some we enjoyed and bought quite a few. We then got in line to order some lunch. Once we made it to the counter we were greeted by Alex who was very helpful explaining the different items on the menu that we questions about. We ordered the Mill Meatballs, Warmed Olives, Kalamata Sandwich and Calabrian Crispy Sandwich. Everything was very delicious. The Mill Meatballs were delicious and the sauce was fantastic. Eddy who was bussing the tables was very helpful and man did he hustle. We then got the Cannoli for dessert, we tried the Dark Cholate and Pistachio both were awesome. They hit the true Italian Cannoli flavor. Reminded me of my Grandfathers Cannoli. They also have music out on the patio which is dog friendly. They have two doors right next to each other one to enter the market and one to get in line to order. We waited about 15 min to order our food. Lots of fun and cannot wait to return.

First time here. A little confusing to figure out how it works. You wait in line to order at a counter. You get a buzzer to alert you when your order is ready. I went up to the counter to get our food and it was all over the place-fries at one corner, pizza at another. There's just a ticket with each dish and they just trust you will only take your plate(s). The dining area is cute out in the orchard with tables all over the place. We were there for a long time-chatting it up. So we got to enjoy it when the lights came on. Our row of trees were out. So many birds. We were scared of p*** on our heads. But, the food was great! We got the Estrella Pizza and garlic fries. ? Pricey. But delicious. Was surprised they close at 9 on a weekend.

A group of six of us went for lunch. The food was fabulous, the wait and the sangria were less than awesome. When we saw the line we expected the wait. We also did the olive oil 101 tour. It was super interesting and very worth the time.

The food is interesting... new ideas... but waiting in line to order (boo)... and the prices are a bit much.

Lemon ricotta pancakes were outstanding! The olive class 01 as interesting and informative. Worth a trip.

I've eaten at the Olive Mill three times Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. The selection of olive oil, vinegar, wine, jars and accessory was good. The food I was disappointing. Pizzas are square not round like their photo it comes in one size, Small. The crust is very hard, they are not using a traditional pizza dough, came with very little tomato sauce and cheese. I asked for additional sauce and after waiting 10 minutes I was handed a small container of cold sauce. They looked surprised when I asked them to heat it up. Breakfast was poor, scrambled egg portion was small and cold, potatoes were tasteless and hard cubes. The coffee is good. I liked the fish and chips. I asked for crispy fries but they put the fried fish on top of fries and more that half the fries are soggy. What is unacceptable is the food it left on a counter and by the time you get buzzed and walk up to get your order there are flies walking on the plates. YUCK!

We really love the olive oil they have, love it so much we ordered it on a monthly subscription then Covid happened and they told us they couldnt make that particular flavor any longer. Okay no biggie all was good. Now 2 years later we kept receiving olive oil at our front door and our card we used 2 years ago to pay for our subscription was charged. Not a big deal, I called them to advise what was going on. I was told that I really wasn't charged and I wouldnt be charged as they had a new system put into place and it was a mistake but to call back if I was and that they would issue refund. Well, a total of 6 charges went through, a total of 2 bottles of olive oil was shipped and showed up. Now I have called them 5 times to ask where my refund was and I have been told "someone must've dropped the ball" This all started May 6th and I still have not received my refund posted to my account, they owe us $168.50. Each time I call I am told they will put it through but it never happens. How do we get our money back?

expensive for food. The olive oil choices are awesome

Love this place so this review is difficult. Sweet potato hash was awful. Cold food. Hard stringy fatty inedible corned beef. No sweet potatoes in evidence. Bread was hard, cold, and tasteless. We drive 90 minutes from Anthem to eat and shop here. Very sad.

geat pizza and simple ffod. Fun to taste different olive oil and vinegears and other sampling. Oretty much self service,great outdoor seating.
