Had a wonderful evening here with friends. The food was absolutely exceptional, the service charming, the ambience and style just perfect. Cod with king prawn and chorizo was full of flavour. The fillet steak was so tender and delicious. If I start to tell you about the deserts then I will be here forever..just amazing.!!! More

We booked for 7.30pm and place was not really ready for customers. First diners and yet we got a rubbish table, right under the servery which became a nuisance as the place got busier. Fine dining with local delicacies well cooked & presented. More

I really liked Calabaza, and it does deserve to be at the top end of Nerja dining. However, I felt that Oliva just shaded it in almost every respect. Something wasn't quite perfect about the meal. More

Despite this we were made to feel welcome and the service was friendly and personal. We had a light lunch and the food was simply delicious. I look forward to having dinner... More
