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 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 brunch menu includes crafted takes on classics such as the hashed browns, breakfast sandwich, and a breakfast pizza. Make sure to come back for dinner some time, as the dinner menu is carefully curated with a select few options in each category. Pastas such as rigatoni and a hand rolled gnocchi and pizzas 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 is also carefully curated by the wine director of their restaurant group highlighting small vineyards and breweries from around the globe.
