Nestled in the heart of Black Rock, The Black Olive is a haven for everyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience. At The Black Olive on Black Rock, we have mastered the art of harmonising the rich traditions of Italian cuisine with innovative culinary techniques.

Our diverse dine-in menu is a testament to the breadth of Italian cuisine. Whether you're a fan of the classics like creamy Carbonara or crave the zesty allure of a Margherita pizza fresh from our wood-fired oven, there's a dish to captivate every palate. Seafood lovers will revel in our succulent Spaghetti Frutti di Mare and for dessert, our Tiramisu is a must try.

We understand that cravings know no bounds, which is why we are open seven days a week, from 12pm to 9pm. Whether you're seeking a leisurely lunch, an intimate dinner, or anything in between, our doors are wide open.

We can't wait to serve you some delicious food.

    Pizza was great. Pumpkin and spinach risotto was so bland.

    Love dining here, food was really good and staff were very friendly and helpful. We had delicious fresh bruschetta, yummy ragu and a prosciutto pizza, ice cream and lemon meringue. Staff were very genuine, thoughtful and fun. The lighting could be a bit softer and a little lamp or light on each table at night. The space is very nice with a fire and elegant modern bar. Highly recommend

    I'm celiac and Black Olive accomodated what I need to be able to eat at an Italian restaurant. Plus made me feel like it was no trouble. All my other guests just enjoyed the exceptional Italian food. Great job Black Olive.
