Always an enjoyable experience here at Ollo. It’s been a while since we've been here. Sat at the bar for a mid-day, late lunch. Had a nice Montepulciano, salad and shrimp with beans in a light tomato sauce. Yum!

What more can I say? The atmosphere was immediately dominated by the incredible artwork displayed on the walls. It felt like a sufficient gallery space for a solo artist's exhibition, and the pieces were also for sale (prices were posted).
We ordered the Prosciutto Pizza, and the thin, Italian-style crust was perfectly crisp. The generous portion of fresh prosciutto on top was wonderfully salty yet tender, pairing perfectly with the rich tomato sauce. The amount of ham was truly impressive, making even one slice incredibly satisfying. The savory flavor balanced beautifully with the sauce's acidity. Being fired in a brick oven, it was easily a top-tier pizza.
My only regret was the appearance of small flies or gnats that accompanied the pizza when it arrived. I'm unsure if they were attracted by the aroma, but they disappeared after the pizza was finished and the plate was cleared. This led me to suspect a potential issue with the pizza itself or the serving board. I notified the staff, and they kindly removed the pizza charge later, but those persistent flies definitely kept our enjoyment from reaching its peak.
The Caesar Salad was absolutely excellent. It was incredibly fresh and crisp, and the creamy dressing was flavorful without being overwhelming, coating the lettuce perfectly. In particular, the large, thinly shaved slices of Parmigiano cheese were rich and savory, elevating the entire salad. It was a perfect, classic side dish to accompany our main courses.
If you want to experience the authentic Italian atmosphere and flavor, this place is definitely the best choice.

Great experience. Wife and I shared the beet salad and the eggplant parm. Not a bad dish on the menu. Lots of red and golden beets, goat cheese and arugula. The eggplant parm was baked, no breading, plenty of sauce and an abundance of mozzarella cheese. Professional waiters. Handled a group of 6 easily.

An absolutely amazing experience all around. The food was spectacular and the service was just as good. We might have over eaten, but the cocktails kept us going and this is definitely a five star restaurant. We will definitely be back!

Came to Malibu for an event. Stopped at Ollo for dinner.
We walked in and were seated. The first thing we noticed was the comfortable decor. The restaurant had a nice ambiance and the had nice contemporary music playing.
We placed our drink order and asked for some bread. We got our drinks, but no bread. It was almost 20 minutes before were were served our requested bread.
We were starting to get a sense that they were short on wait staff. Our waiter was nice but you could pick up on his stress.
We started with the Cauliflower appetizer. It was delicious! Not what I expected but very good.
I ordered the Beef Short rib and mashed potatoes. My wife asked for the Porcini Mushroom Parpadelle pasta.
We received or Beef Short Rib plate and a Beef Ragu Parpadelle dish. The waiter was nowhere to be seen, so she ate the dish she received.
For desert we got the Torta Della Nonna. It was good, but the ice cream on the side was the highlight.
All in all the food was excellent, the atmosphere was great, but they definitely had a staffing shortage.
