Making our favorite dishes from Milo + Olive at home
Milo and Olive has a seasonal, market driven menu with all the pasta and pizza favorites you could ask for. The restaurant is split into two primary sections. The first area you walk into from Wilshire is greeted by a selection of baked goods and two large square tables sitting in front of a kitchen/bar. The restaurant appears at first to be only the two table section in front, but as you walk deeper inside, the larger, main dining area unfolds with a bar as well. No reservations accepted so you can most definitely count on a wait any time you go in peak hours.
Open all day with coffee, pastries, breakfast, lunch, and dinner options available, depending on the time of day. The dinner menu is carefully curated with a select few options in each category. Pastas such as rigatoni and a hand rolled gnocchi, including pizza options with incredible flavor profiles such as the pork belly and sausage kale and classics like the crispy pepperoni. As apart of the Rustic Canyon family, wine and beer are also carefully curated by the wine director of their restaurant group, highlighting small vineyards and breweries from around the globe.
What to Expect during Covid-19
Takeout and delivery are available! Their full menu is available with the new addition of a family package. A great option for anyone who hasn’t braved the grocery store but wants to cook, (cooking can be therapeutic, especially in these times!) it includes pizza, pasta, and garlic knots for cooking at home and feeds 4-5 people.
If you need the fresh air, you can order to go from inside the beautiful restaurant and wait for you order. If you’re at risk or rather not take the chance, you can phone in to order line and receive curbside service. This service is just a small example of how our restaurants are helping us in this time, now it’s our turn to help them.
