Oliveto, Oakland’s best fine-dining Italian restaurant, is the corner anchor of an upscale shopping compound that includes artisan coffee, a bakery, fish and produce markets, butcher, pasta-cheese-charcuterie shop, wine merchant, and flower stand. It’s a go-to one-stop destination for locals, but also a great place for out-of-towners to drop into for great take-away food, a cappuccino or a cocktail and small bite on the sidewalk--breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The surrounding blocks of the Rockridge commercial district abound with unique shops, bookstores, and restaurants, and the BART station is right across the street. It’s a 20-minute ride to or from downtown San Francisco.
