Our Story
Built in the early 1900’s as a tavern, restaurant, and boarding house, this venue is centrally located in St Louis’ historic Italian neighborhood commonly known as “The Hill”. The property boasts a pergola covered courtyard with stone water feature, terrazzo floors, high beamed ceilings, graceful archways, leaded glass windows, and a well-lit parking lot. This is a very special place, perfect for wedding ceremonies & receptions, rehearsal dinners, anniversaries, wedding & baby showers, birthday celebrations, and all other types of special events. It is available for both day and evening events.
Oliva on the Hill is open for lunch Tuesday through Saturday, 11:00am to 2:00pm. Come by and enjoy a bite to eat on our patio! Be sure to check out The Hill Antique Market located right next door to Oliva.
Every Wednesday night Oliva transforms into a pop-up wine bar from 5-10pm during Wine Down Wednesdays. Enjoy wine, beer, cocktails, and small plate food items prepared by Catering St. Louis Events. Oliva on the Hill was voted #1 BEST WINE BAR PATIO and #2 for "ST. LOUIS' BEST PATIO" in St. Louis Magazine's Reader's Choice Poll 2018. (Be sure to check out The Hill Antique Market located right next door to Oliva and open until 8pm on Wednesday nights.)
