I ate here with a couple of friends on Saturday. I mistakenly got the lamb shank instead of the kebabs, but it must have been some good karma, because that lamb was some of most tender and tasty that I have ever had, in a delicious and rich sauce.
My friend raved equally about the baked eggplant. My other friend had the tortellini, and really liked it, although she'd had better at restaurants with a primary focus on Italian.
The décor was quite nice and the owners and staff very friendly. Pricing was reasonable. Since Oliva is close to my home on the West Side, I will definitely be coming here often!
