Oliveto Restaurant & Bar

Spring has arrived to Oliveto and with it our lovely dried flower table posies from .ie, complementing our Italian-inspired interiors, and colour scheme. 🇮🇹

Touch of Class cocktail...we think so! 🫧

As you dine in Oliveto, steal a glance at our cocktail mirrors and select a preprandial cocktail or mixed drink to whet your appetite before placing your order. For a more comprehensive selection, feel free to ask for our drinks menu. Saluto to a delightful dining experience!

Experience the delights of Oliveto throughout the week, with our doors open, and lights on for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Whether you’re planning ahead or seeking a spontaneous dining experience, we welcome walk-in guests to join us anytime.

Ragu remains a staple on our evening à la carte menu, but we believe in keeping things fresh. Every three months, we introduce a new composition, ensuring a delightful variety for our guests. Our latest rendition features slow-braised Irish duck ragu, served generously over homemade pappardelle pasta and topped with aged Parmesan.

Our à la carte menu features not one, but two steak options: striploin and fillet steak. Sourced from prime Irish cuts, each steak is aged in-house to perfection. Accompanied by a classic peppercorn sauce, we put an Italian twist on it by calling it ’papa al nero’, paying homage to our Italian roots. Indulge in a culinary experience where quality meets tradition.

Celebrate good health with our immune-boosting kale side. Freshly barbecued and expertly tossed in a flavourful lemon and garlic dressing, this dish is then elevated with the rich taste of aged Parmesan. Nourish your body and tantalise your taste buds with every bite.

Our midweek lunch Caesar salad featuring tender confit free-range chicken, crispy pancetta, crunchy croutons, and our signature house dressing (sans anchovies). It’s the ideal remedy for post-holiday indulgence, offering a refreshing start to the week. Oliveto is open from 12pm each day.

New to our midweek lunch menu is a beautiful Irish venison pie, with piped mash potato, and a garden salad with french dressing. A classic winter warmer and packed with flavour. See you in Oliveto for a midweek lunch?

Burrata is a staple on the Oliveto menu, and this version has slow-roasted winter tomatoes, kale and pistachio pesto, and radicchio leaf. Simple but oh, so delicious! 🍅 🥬

Introducing a hidden gem from Tuscan tradition—our latest vegetarian pasta sensation: gnudi. Often overlooked in Irish-based restaurants, this classic dish earns its name, ”gnudi“ or ”naked“, as the delicate parcels are crafted from a blend of ricotta and semolina, foregoing the traditional pasta shell.

We present these gnudi in a rich brown butter, sage, and hazelnut sauce. Experience the deliciousness of a dish that stands out from the ordinary.

Our midweek lunch menu has a hearty potato-topped pie with a changing filling that evolves with the changing months. For January and February, we’ll be serving slow-braised Irish venison complemented by a crisp side garden salad, and elevated by our signature vinaigrette dressing.

Bruschetta has been a consistent in Oliveto since 2011, but we change it to match seasonality. Our latest bruschetta is a moreish winter classic of whipped gorgonzola dolce, shaved mushroom, walnut and parsley pesto on our homemade grilled sourdough. Starting on Thursday evening, come try it.👌

Our lunch menu is worth checking out...some new dishes added, guided by our desire to provide classic, affordable dishes, 12-2:30pm, Monday–Friday.

We are excited to be back after our winter break, Oliveto is back open tonight from 5pm. We can’t wait to see you again!

This week we are looking back over the warm feedback we’ve received from guests this year. Thank you to everyone who continues to make our busy little restaurant a lovely place to work.

“We enjoyed a wonderful experience. Food, drinks ambience, service, all top class. In my partner’s words chic elegance – a little jewel! Looking forward to returning.”

“Beautiful restaurant with tasty, well-priced food. Our waitress was very sweet; young, very helpful and not at all pushy or over-confident. I’ve been before and intend to go back again. Excellent! Great food and service in a lovely environment. We had a great night out with friends. Highly recommended.”

“Thank you Oliveto for looking after our group so, so well on Sunday afternoon. The whole team were exceptional at looking after each one of us in terms of service, attentiveness and always with a smile. Everyone enjoyed the day so much and we would highly recommend Oliveto as one of the best restaurants in Dublin – the warm ambience, the amazing view overlooking the East Pier and the professional staff there who were so attentive. Much appreciated.”

We’re gearing up for a bustling and lively lunch and dinner service today. Just a friendly reminder that Oliveto is fully booked tomorrow, but fear not – our Parlour is ready to serve delightful drinks from 1-5pm on Christmas Eve. Join us for a festive and spirited celebration! Please note that our Parlour is unsuitable for children under 12.

A pasta delight that’s a must-have on our menu is our Italian Sausage Ragu with aged parmesan. This Tuscan classic pays homage to traditional ragu braising, enhanced with a touch of piccante spice from the salsiccia, and paired perfectly with al dente rigatoni. It’s a dish that captures the essence of Italian flavours.

Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day up to 24th December. Fully booked for Christmas Eve lunch already! Back open at 4pm on 27th December right up to New Year’s Day.

For the month of December, we’ve added a cheese plate to our dessert menu. A combination of Italian and Irish cheese, homemade relish and traditional crackers. Perfect with a sweet wine or port.

The original and classic Oliveto tiramisu is back, and as delicious as it ever was. ☕

We are looking forward to a very busy lunch and dinner service—our heated terrace is open for walk-in guests, and our platform is also open for hot drinks, pizza, small bites. Ideal for a quick pit-stop. We’re ready for you!

The allure of this dish comes from the blend of three key elements: the meticulously braised cabbage garnish, the exceptional quality of the chicken, and the flavourful chicken jus. Special nod to the particularly excellent braised cabbage, adding a distinct and memorable delight to savour.

Our skilled chefs use a Hibachi woodfire grill to impart a rich, smoky essence to a variety of our protein-based creations, delivering a robust and flavourful experience. This unique cooking method infuses the same distinct smokiness into many of our vegetable options, elevating our side dishes to new heights of taste. 🔥

May we introduce this large choux bun to the Oliveto family. Crafted daily to perfection, this exquisite pastry is a delightful symphony of flavours, served with milk chocolate and praline cream, and a little pot of luscious, warm chocolate sauce – a moment of pure bliss that melts in your mouth.

Our new signature cocktail menu is now available in both Oliveto and our Parlour. Given that Christmas is around the corner, we think our ‘Berry Bauble’ is worth a shout out. Kraken rum, Perdo Ximénez sherry, raspberry, pear and Monin macadamia. Delicious and festive! 🎅

We’ve added some mushroom ketchup and aged parmesan to our very scrumptious arancini. Simple, seasonal flavour bomb in every mouthful.

Inspired by a baked Alaska, our chefs had fun creating this sweet beauty with figs, meringue and smashed honeycomb. Available at lunch and dinner every day.
