This restaurant is phenomenal! Best Italian food I've ever had. The restaurant is small maybe 8 tables. Make reservations. The portions are plenty and the most expensive items are the lobster and veal dishes at $22.00. The salmon cakes and shrimp scampi DELICIOUS! They don't have a liquor license BUT you can bring your own alcoholic beverages to the restaurant to have with dinner. This is a family owned restaurant the husband is the only chef and his wife and son tend to the restaurant side. You can see him behind the counter cooking your meal. Our food came out hot and so full of flavor. If you are in the Las Vegas area this place is a MUST!

Love this spot my dad brought me to for dinner! The family running the restaurant is so nice & the food was delicious! Portion sizes were great, seafood was so fresh (we got the linguine with clams & linguine with seafood), AND prices are amazing for what you get! Pasta is quite al dente but this is the only way I like my pasta. Would return for sure.

I did a quick google search of any Italian food restaurants nearby. Where Los Olivos Ristorante popped up. So I was inclined to try this restaurant out. I shortly noticed that this establishment had a google rating of 4.8 stars, which I have never seen any ratings that high for any place, let alone restaurant. When I arrived at the restaurant during dinner, I was not greeted right away when I stepped through the doors, due to the enormous influx of diners in the restaurant. The phones were ringing off the hook, and eventually, an employee approached me. The wait time for dine-in was an hour and a half and takeout would be 30 mins due to my not phoning ahead of time. I was baffled at how such a small restaurant would be so busy, so I left to try another time. I planned strategically to dine at this establishment right when it opened on a weekday. That is what I did, I arrived exactly at 2:30, on a Tuesday, and behold it was not busy. I sat down and looked over the menu, and what caught my eye was an intriguing signature salad. The Los Olivos salad is what I chose as a starter, and what I was craving was spaghetti and meatballs, so I ordered that as my entrée. Like any Italian restaurant, they start with some olive oil and bread, but this type of olive oil was freshly made with their spin of seasoning was amazing. All I can think at this moment was, Wow! I'm in for a treat when the salad and spaghetti & meatballs come out. I'm not a big fan of salads, but I wanted to see what would compel them to put the restaurant name on this garden salad. The dressing and fresh vegetables were so refreshing that it spiked my appetite for the entrée. When the spaghetti arrived, I dove right into devouring it without hesitation. The angel pasta was incredible, the way it was dressed with a little bit of olive oil for it to be smooth. The two meatballs were gigantic and were laughable because I knew I could not finish this and I'd have to take it home. Everything in this restaurant was fresh and so enjoyable, I wish they offer a service where I can pay monthly for them to come over to my house and cook dinners. I highly recommend anyone looking for some authentic Italian cuisine visit this place. 5-star service/5-star food as well. Will be coming back very soon

The penne was hard and thick, and the lasagna was weirdly soupy and hard as well. The portions are humongous, but it doesn't help when the food is not good. We had tons of food leftover. The veal sauce is okay, and the seafood is okay, but I'm definitely not too keen on coming again. The family that runs the restaurant is really nice though!

Los Olivos is owned by a lovely couple and their kids. It is a quaint and intimate space that makes you feel like home. The food is delicious and well priced. The owners are so kind and remember us every time we come in. It’s been a pleasure to watch their kids grow up and help out around the restaurant. The chef was trained in Italy, so everything is exceptionally authentic. I highly recommend the shrimp scampi with your favorite type of pasta. Though, everything in the menu tastes fresh and is made with love. You cannot go wrong no matter what you order and you will definitely have left overs. The perfect little hole in the wall in Vegas. Whether it is for a family gathering, a date, or just a solo meal Los Olivos will get you taken care of. We will be back to visit again and again.
Definitely make a reservation if you want to be seated because they book up fast. And bring your own bottle of wine.
