"Five years ago, a new restaurant from the people behind Rustic Canyon and Huckleberry was definitely something to get excited about, and the garlic knots and pizzas sealed the deal. But a night at Milo & Olive meant incorporating a good hour of waiting on a very weird stretch of Wilshire (their closest neighbor is a tobacco shop called The Tinder Box) for a seat in a tiny room. Since then, the room has gotten bigger, meaning less waiting, and more pizza. People who live in Santa Monica still know this place is great, and everyone else should too." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
