Led by former Gracias Madre head chef Mario Alberto, this adorable strip mall eatery in Koreatown features Asian-inspired vegetarian cuisine and some of the best non-alcoholic drink options in town. Craveworthy appetizers like fried olives in truffle honey and whipped nut-based ricotta and a funky cheese-and-banchan plate set the stage for heartier, veggie-focused entrées and wood-fired pizzas, where unique ingredients meld for dishes that pop with every bite. While Olivia’s charming interior feels worlds away from the urban sprawl outside, this scrappy neighborhood spot stands out thanks to culinary chops and thoughtful service (read: don’t expect an expansive, scene-y outdoor dining situation).
