About
At Oliva Restaurant Group (ORG), everything we do & consume is in an effort to share flavorful moments that celebrate worldly cuisine, honor local ingredients, and deepen our connections to each other. Oliva, founded by Tal Baum, is a collective of seasoned renegade story-tellers from various backgrounds. Every detail of our restaurants – from menu to seating, from servers to music – is part of a much larger narrative. The table becomes a way of welcoming others into that story.
At ORG, our passion is to provide great tasting, chef-crafted food, inspired by diverse cultures and personal stories. We strive to create environments that people trust, are proud of, and can enjoy a great meal where they always feel welcome and experience outstanding customer service and hospitality.
Founded in 2015 with the opening of Bellina Alimentari at Ponce City Market, Oliva Restaurant Group is a collection of restaurants in Atlanta, Georgia which explores founder Tal Baum’s cross-cultural upbringing. The group also now encompasses some of Atlanta’s most beloved restaurants, including modern Israeli spots Aziza and Falafel Nation in the city’s West Midtown neighborhood, Rina, an Israeli, diner-style eatery on the Atlanta BeltLine’s Eastside Trail, Atrium, a restaurant offering a Modern American menu with European influence at Ponce City Market, and Carmel, a new restaurant at Buckhead Village inspired by the shores of California and the Yucatan Peninsula as well as Tal’s upbringing on the Mediterranean coast.
