I really wanted to leave a good review for Olive3, but I just can’t. The restaurant itself looks clean, the menu sounds delicious, and they have a wide range of sweets and healthy options that make the place very appealing. I’ve been there twice. The first time was for lunch and I ordered the “Chickin You Out” poke bowl. It was a generous portion with fresh ingredients, but it was extremely sweet and I couldn’t finish it. The lemonade, however, was very tasty. The second time I stopped by for a smoothie, and that experience completely put me off. The person preparing it seemed unsure about what to put in it and handled the freshly cut fruits and vegetables with bare hands, which didn’t inspire much confidence. I really wanted to love this place and make it my go-to spot, but unfortunately that’s not going to happen.

Yum! A great place for lunch, it’s best to book as it gets very busy. Love their pasta and bowls (especially with salmon!)

The café is nice and the staff is friendly. We ordered the ravioli, mushroom burger, and a poke bowl, along with fresh juice. The poke bowl was one of our favorites, but we didn’t enjoy the mushroom burger.

Had such a lovely lunch at Olivia3 in Malta! 🥢🍝 The place feels warm and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends. We tried their poke bowls with fresh veggies, tender meat and a perfectly cooked sunny-side egg on top – so colorful and tasty. The pastas were rich, creamy and full of flavor (the carbonara-style one was a favorite). Coffee was smooth and strong, exactly what you want after a big meal. Service was super friendly and the vibe is calm but lively – you just feel good sitting there. Definitely a spot I’d come back to for both healthy bowls and comforting pasta. 🌿🍷

Olive3 – A Weekly Gem Worth Every Visit Tucked away like a local secret but loved like a favorite tradition, Olive3 has quickly become my go-to spot—and for good reason. I find myself returning here weekly, not just for the food, but for the warm, welcoming atmosphere that truly feels like home. From the moment you walk in, the staff at Olive3 go above and beyond. The service is consistently excellent—friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. They remember my usual order especially when it comes to their amazing fresh homemade drinks and somehow always make you feel like the most important person in the room. The real magic, though, is in the kitchen. Olive3’s daily specialities are nothing short of remarkable. Each dish is bursting with top-tier flavor, crafted with a level of care and creativity that never feels routine. Whether you’re trying something new or sticking to a favorite, the food is always fresh, vibrant, and deeply satisfying. Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular like me, Olive3 delivers a consistent experience of quality, comfort, and community. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be treated like family and fed like royalty, Olive3 is it. Highly recommended.
