    I was on a business trip in Merida and stopped by to enjoy some food. This is on Paseo Montejo and I'm normally weary of food on the main tourist street. Regardless, I read reviews and decided to pop in. I visited in September, out of season and there was a lot of seating, I returned first week of October and it was packed. The waitress recommended lasagna and prosciutto pizza. The lasagna was flavorful. I like the pizza but there was a good amount of arugula in it, to me it was more than necessary. I was pleasantly surprised at the food though and as always, I think the service at most restaurants in Merida is top notch.

    Cute sign outside!

    Came here during Christmas Eve as it was one of the few places that didn't have reservation. Despite it being extremely packed for the holiday, the service was good and the food was amazing. Did not get to take pictures as how fast we devoured the food!!!! Really recommend this place if you're visiting Merida. There is inside and outside sitting, during the night the weather is lovely and the outside seating is really enjoyable. There was also a guy playing music really close by on the streets that made the atmosphere even more enjoyable. The pizzas are the size of a large plate, just enough to share with two but also have one for yourself depending how hungry one is!

    Cheesy garlic bread. Yum

    Service excellent. Food was better than expected . Came for a wood grilled pizza. Ended up with a great dinner instead. Would have been 5 star a little different music and Chucky movie. Omg

    Glass of Tempranillo

    What a great find! We saw a card in our AirBNB and walked by here several times, wandering along Paseo Montejo. Because of COVID-19, we only eat outside, and they offered a good number of physically distant outdoor tables. The outdoor space is roped off, and we were greeted at the opening by someone we found out later was the owner. Temperatures were checked, and we were given hand sanitizer. Menus are on QR code links and were easy to access. We started with a glass of Tempranillo (70 pesos) and a Margarita on the rocks (90 pesos). The Tempranillo was excellent and a good pour. The Margarita was a good size and very fruity. Our server brought us some Bread with Fresh Tomato Sauce for dipping while we looked over the menu. The sauce was delicious and had a little bite to it. I'm a pizza junky and wanted to check out the pizza in Merida. I ordered the Pizza Diavola (175 pesos). My husband tried the Maradona (190 pesos), a Fried Pizza. My Pizza Diviola had a nice coating of Marinara Sauce, plenty of Mozzarella Cheese, and a good portion of a Spicy Salami. The crust was thin, crisp, and nicely blistered around the edges. Perfectly done. The Maradona was not like a Panzarotti we've had in the U.S. but more like a Calzone. It was huge, fried nice and crisp, and filled with Mozzarella Cheese, Ricotta, and Italian Sausage. It came with a side of Marinara and fresh Tomato and Basil on the side. Again, very well done. We rarely have dessert with dinner, but the Coconut Creme Brulee (75.00 pesos) sounded too good to pass up. The serving was a good size, very browned with Shredded Coconut on top, the plate was decorated with a light Fruit Sauce and some Strawberries. Delicious with a nice hard crack to the sugar crust. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be back to try some fresh pasta when we return to Merida. Here are the prices for our dinner at the current US conversion rate at the time of our visit as a reference. Tempranillo: $3.48 Margarita on the Rocks: $4.47 Pizza Diavola: $8.69 Maradona: $9.43 Coconut Creme Brulee: $3.72

    Good presentation and good tiramisu to finish our meal

    Had dinner on their outdoor patio on a beautiful Merida night. We had 7:30 reservations and our table was ready. They bring you sauce and bread while you wait. We started the meal with a caprese salad and a bottle of Chianti. The salad was really good with fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and basil with a balsamic finishing oil. I ordered fettuccine with the amatriciana sauce, and my wife got the seafood pasta. Both dishes were good. We finished by sharing some tiramisu for desert. A nice dining experience on the Paseo.

    Mushroom and ham pizza

    We were visiting the area and saw this place had great reviews. We got the mushroom and ham pizza and the pesto and burrata pizza. They were both amazing! We also got the Nutella and coconut tiramisu and the mango panna cotta. The service was great and so was the atmosphere. The restaurant is on a Main Street that has a lot of places along the way. They have outdoor seating available and it's a good place to sit and people watch. The only thing we didn't like was the music was too loud for us.

    It was my last day in Merida, and this was a last stop before headed to the airport. We came here for coffee and light food. I ordered a cappuccino, which was delicious and strong. I ended up ordering two, which left me energetic for my trip. We ordered two salads (see pictures), and chatted a bit before the time came to head out. It was a good conversation, and the environment was relaxing. The place was decorated nicely. The staff was warm and welcoming, they were attentive and professional. The food and coffee was of good quality, which was a great last-minute memory of this city. I would recommend this place if you're hanging out in the main street of Merida.

    Bruschetta funghi

    Solid place for Italian should you need a break from Mexican food! I wouldn't say it's worth a stop if you're from a place that already has great Italian, but I needed some pasta after all the tacos and panuchos, so this definitely hit the spot for me :) It's a little unclear if all of their pasta dishes are fresh made pasta in house. Bruschetta ai Funghi 4.5/5 - definitely must get! Yes they use truffle oil, and it makes it smell so great. Flavors on point. Best mushroom toast I've had that utilizes such basic button/cremini mushrooms. Shrimp & mushroom fettucine 4/5 - added a lot of chili flakes which brought up the flavor. Overall pretty good. Prosciutto pizza 2/5 - dough made well, but this just didn't pull together very well. All the ingredients were left cold (tomato, cheese) rather than any roasting or melting. Unimpressed. Would definitely not get again.

    Good wood fire pizza in a casual dining setting. Good service with hot food. Would definitely return for a quick lunch or fast dinner.

    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

Chaya crepes were soggy, drowned in sauce to the point where it nauseated me. God help anyone who comes here looking for a fulfilling meal.

There's a great variety of drinks--nice traditional mezcalitas, chaya cocktails (with xtabentun), clericot, beer, wine, you name it. The last year or so they've had, in my opinion, a very fine singer/guitarist; she's there, I believe, Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and maybe Saturdays. Music starts at 8:30 (it used to start at 8:00, and I wish it still did or at 7:30) -- no cover. (That's not to say that on the other nights you won't hear good music; over the years there have been many fine trova singers.) All in the atrium of an historic building: in our opinion, a special if not unique place in Merida.
