Our Story
What began as a small kitchen in Jabal Al Lweibdeh grew into a gathering place for friends, families, and neighbors. At Oliva, every meal is shaped by care, with fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, and the comfort of sharing something genuine.
The Place
Tucked within the neighborhood rhythm of Amman, Oliva is a place shaped by warmth, light, and the pleasure of good food shared. The space reflects the same principles as our kitchen: modest, grounded, and thoughtfully made. Wood, clay, and natural tones create an atmosphere that feels lived in and welcoming, where weekday lunches stretch into slow afternoons and dinners feel easy and unhurried.
The design mirrors the food: authentic, balanced, and full of character. Guests can see the open kitchen at work, the turning of pizza dough, the fragrance of fresh herbs, the quiet focus of a team that cooks with care. Every detail, from the flicker of the oven to the sound of plates being set, carries the same spirit of generosity that defines Oliva.
It’s a place built for connection between people, flavors, and moments, where simplicity truly meets flavor.
From Our Kitchen
Behind every plate at Oliva is a kitchen built on honesty, rhythm, and care. It’s where the warmth of the clay oven meets the calm precision of daily craft: dough rising slowly, sauces stirred patiently, herbs added just before serving. Each dish begins with good ingredients and ends with a balance of flavor that feels effortless yet intentional.
Our pizzas are baked to a perfect crisp, layered with Oliva’s signature tomato sauce, real mozzarella, and toppings that complement rather than compete. Pasta sauces are made in small batches each day, guided by traditional recipes and a respect for timing and freshness.
The kitchen moves with quiet focus, open, visible, and full of life. It’s a space where simplicity is not a shortcut but a discipline, and where every meal carries the same spirit that has defined Oliva since 2011: food made by hand, shared with warmth, and remembered for its honest flavor.
