THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Olio Pizzeria Restaurant Review:
Olio Pizzeria in the Shoppes at Westlake Village is the more casual counterpart of Elaine and Alberto Morello's fine dining restaurant Olio e Limone next door. (Both concepts started in Santa Barbara.) Try the roasted beet salad with pistachios and ricotta cheese on a small bed of arugula, finished with a touch of olive oil. There are also dishes like the gamberetti antipasti of shrimp, garlic and spicy chili oil, served up on a piping hot cast-iron dish. But as the name implies, it's a pizza joint first and foremost. One Neapolitan-style pie is topped with Umbrian black truffles and crimini mushrooms melting into a creamy pillow of robiola cheese; another features the contrasting textures of soft mascarpone and dry, hard pecorino. Gelati and sorbetti join homemade desserts like the chocolate-hazelnut panna cotta. The wine list is heavy on Italian varietals, made in both Santa Barbara and Italy.
