A single table under the fig tree. Whatever the boats brought in, cooked over coals while you watch.
There is no menu to choose from at Oliveto. There are six seats, one fig tree, and whatever came off the boats that afternoon. João cooks it over coals at the end of the table while you talk, and it is finished when it is finished.
A single seat at the communal table for the evening menu, paired with natural wine.
"We did not order a thing and it was the best meal of the trip."
"Four hours at one table with strangers who left as friends."
