Those who come to sample our delicious fare and locally brewed beer and wine are constantly dazzled by the best-kept secret in Wellington, our courtyard.

OUR STORY
Meet The Team
Proprietors, Head chef Jamie Morgan and brothers Ferdi and Carlo Petagna, first came into contact in 2008 at Fratelli on Blair Street, which the brothers had just opened. A few years later the boys reunited to try their hand at something a bit different, which they found in Olive. With prominent careers in the Wellington and Australian hospitality industries their combined experience and friendship is reflected in the unique and friendly atmosphere at Olive.
