 When chef Paul Bertolli left Oliveto to focus on his charcuterie business, Fra’Mani, longtime chef de cuisine Paul Canales stepped up to fill his shoes. Canales now oversees both the restaurant and the café, and continues to offer his inspired rustic Italian menu. The house-made pastas, like a humble plate of whole wheat pappardelle topped with braised Hoffman Farm hen, and the legendary charcuterie demonstrate the kitchen’s grace and restraint---the most successful dishes are the simplest. Oliveto has become known for its annual special dinners, including a dinner devoted to the “whole hog,” another that highlights glorious summer tomatoes, a third where truffles are the star, and a week of dinners in the summer devoted to seafood in all its myriad forms. These meals book well in advance, but they’re worth the effort. For guests looking for a more casual experience, Oliveto Café serves simple salads, pizzas and charcuterie plates.
