The Verdict
MILO & OLIVE is the Santa Monica Wilshire Boulevard wood-fired pizza and neighbourhood bakery whose naturally leavened pizza programme and house-made pasta communicate what the neighbourhood pizza-bakery format looks like when genuine craft bread and wood-fire knowledge is applied to the most community-accessible available California daily dining format. The naturally leavened pizza programme whose wood-fired preparation communicates genuine knowledge of what the pizza tradition requires when the sourdough culture's fermentation character is applied; the house-made pasta whose daily production communicates genuine commitment to the Italian tradition; and the Wilshire Santa Monica setting whose neighbourhood community creates the audience for a pizza-bakery whose craft conviction communicates complete daily commitment.
Why It Works for a First Date
Milo & Olive's Santa Monica naturally leavened wood-fired pizza and neighbourhood warmth — the craft bread and pizza knowledge, the Wilshire community energy — creates the first date that communicates genuine knowledge of where Santa Monica's most craftily devoted available neighbourhood wood-fired pizza experience is practised.
