The story of L’Olivo

L’Olivo was born from an Italian family and the wish to bring a little piece of its tradition and culture to Costa Rica.

The essence of the restaurant is simple: good ingredients, authentic recipes, no frills, and the pleasure of sharing them around a table, always in good company.

Three decades have turned L’Olivo into a home and, for those who visit, into family.

Much has certainly changed since then — 30 years is a long journey — but one thing always stays the same: its essence and authenticity.

Bruno welcomes you
