Seriously THE BEST ITALIAN and vegetarian food you can find in Rishikesh, and possibly India. I ate pasta outside Italy and usually it left much to be desired, but Oliva (by Italian chef Marco Rivaroli) changed my mind - you CAN find fantastic Italian food and it's totally worth the trip to Rishikesh (Swiss Cottage area). The staff - is OUTSTANDING, special grazie, thank you and danevat to D.K., Hariom Sharma, Anoop, Bushan, Suraj Negi. Much much love!!!
Warm Host. Good Food. Good Ambience. Nice place for a leisurely chat.
I recently stayed at Bhandari Swiss Cottage for six weeks. Olivia Restaurant is part of the same complex. I ate there most days as the food was delicious, Indian and Italian food, prepared by Bhushan. And it felt like eating at home. Many thanks to Anup, Hari Om, Updesh and Rawath for great service and attention to detail.
In particular I enjoyed very much Spaghetti al pomodoro and Spaghetti al pesto, Thali and Dal fry. The fresh juices were really good and also masala chai...
