Nestled within Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island, L’Olivo offers a modern interpretation of Italian dining under softly glowing lanterns and elegant décor. With floor-to-ceiling windows and Riviera-chic flair, it feels like an intimate coastal escape within a luxury resort.
The menu opens with crudo plates—think tuna tartare and delicate octopus carpaccio—then evolves into antipasti and artisan pizzas baked to perfection in a wood-fired oven. Handmade pasta shines, from saffron risotto to tagliatelle with truffle cream, while mains reflect both sea and land: cuttlefish ink pasta, grilled rib-eye or expertly prepared seafood. Each plate is balanced and visually striking—Italian craft elevated.
Service is polished yet welcoming, ideal for date nights, relaxed dinners with friends, or refined evenings after a day at the beach. With wine pairings and desserts like panna cotta or tiramisu rounding out the meal, L’Olivo delivers a sophisticated Italian journey—without leaving the Emirate.
