Review Oliva Italian And Vegan Kitchen - Rishikesh

Seriously THE BEST ITALIAN and vegetarian food you can find in Rishikesh, and possibly India. I ate pasta outside Italy and usually it left much to be desired, but Oliva (by Italian chef Marco Rivaroli) changed my mind - you CAN find fantastic Italian food and it's totally worth the trip to Rishikesh (Swiss Cottage area). The staff - is OUTSTANDING, special grazie, thank you and danevat to D.K., Hariom Sharma, Anoop, Bushan, Suraj Negi. Much much love!!!

Warm Host. Good Food. Good Ambience. Nice place for a leisurely chat.

I recently stayed at Bhandari Swiss Cottage for six weeks. Olivia Restaurant is part of the same complex. I ate there most days as the food was delicious, Indian and Italian food, prepared by Bhushan. And it felt like eating at home. Many thanks to Anup, Hari Om, Updesh and Rawath for great service and attention to detail. In particular I enjoyed very much Spaghetti al pomodoro and Spaghetti al pesto, Thali and Dal fry. The fresh juices were really good and also masala chai...

Thank you so much Oliva for having me here. it was amazing and delicious! Great resturant with cozy atmosphere, delicious food wich is freshly prepared, warm service, bonfire every evening with live music and random fun. Special thanks to Marco for the wonderful Italian cusine. Big thanks also to the wonderful staff as well, Anup, Hari Om, Bushan, Suraj and the rest which are very nice and always willing to make you happy. I highly reccomend this resturant and will be happy to return.

Lovely restaurant in a green courtyard. Several specialities froom smoothies to Indian and italian food. You have to try the « carbonara spaghetti » made by best chef Bhushan alias Paulo !

I am after spending a month at the lovely Bhandari Swiss Cottages. The food at Oliva Garden Restaurant is absolutely fantastic ... i hardly ate anywhere else and can only highly recommend it .... a mix of beauriful Indian & Italian dishes cooked by Cheff Bhushan and beautifully prepared by all the staff Hariom Abdesh and Harwath who looked after us so well ... thank you so much for making me and everyone feel so at home here ... ... Tina😊

The best thing at oliva's is the staff. They were very kind, we enjoyed chatting and getting orienter in Rishikesh. The food choice is large, fresh and well cooked.

It is a nice place with very friendly staff and great food. They have also live music almost every night. The garden is beautiful arranged, what makes the whole experience very pleasant.

Food is amazing (try Lasagna!) and good service. One star is missing because I was eating inside a couple of times and the personal likes to watch loud music videos (or video games?) on mobiles ....

We just finish to eat in the most tasty and friendly restaurant in swiss cottage, Rishikesh "Oliva" The cheff is very nice, his name is Bhushan,and he will tell you whatever you want, in any language.. Mostly recommend!! Suzanne &Anat

Great western and Indian food. Great location and view point. The restaurant manager, Bhushar and his great staff take care for every detail. Highly recommended

Had a great time at this lovely restaurant. Good pizzas & pastas, enjoyd the live music played at the evenings and especialy the nice & welcoming service.

Best italian caffe in town. Non vegan delicacies can also be customized for vegan diet. Good ambiance and music

Amazing avocado omlett sendwich, very good pastas and really good cold coffee. Quite and nice to seat and very kind staff especially bhushan😁👍👍👍

Oliva is a great and exciting place. Great food and service. All staf frankly and smiley face, specially thanks to anup Semwal,will visit again. Thanks

Good place to hang out with friends and family. But they are expensive and provide more options for foreigners rather real Indian taste. Staff is well educated and friendly.

Green food. Try Italian breakfast. Also try carrot cake. It is a good place to sit with your friends and banter for hours

Very good food. Avocado omelet sandwich by Bhushan is great. GALIA Israel n
