Situated in the congenial East Bay neighborhood of Rockridge in the Market Hall, at the foot of the Oakland hills, Oliveto's offers a fine dining Restaurant (upstairs) known internationally for its traditional Italian dishes made from local, seasonal products with the clarity of a great kitchen under the leadership of Paul Canales. 

The dining room in the Restaurant upstairs at Oliveto is simple and uncluttered, adorned only with hand-wrought iron railings and sconces, olive-wood paneling, ample windows along two walls, granite counters, art by local artists, and large graceful arrangements of garden flowers.  The menus feature the best local, in-season, organic produce as well as sustainably raised meats and poultry and conscientiously harvested fish. They use traditional Italian cooking methods to coax the essential from each. They have a wood-fired grill and rotisserie; they make all their own pasta and gnocchi and mill their own polenta; their cured meats and sausage are all made in-house; and desserts and pastry are made fresh daily.
