Our barbecue is the result of passion-driven cooks who have spent years around the fire pits perfecting the meats. The same passion applies to the long list of side dishes and desserts, giving a grandma’s kitchen flavor to the whole place. We share this experience with each guest and a simple nod of approval from a satisfied customer is what it’s all about. Nearly all of our menu items are scratch-made in our kitchen on a daily basis. We invite you to join in the flavor revolution – from our rotating daily specials to the downright delicious classics – there is something for everyone. ~Blue Ribbon BBQ

Olivia’s Bistro
Upscale Italian food in Nonantum
Had the pleasure of being part of Friends & Family…the food was beyond delicious, ample portions & nicely plated. There were 6 of us so we could try just about everything; the lamb shank, monkfish, squid ink linguine, mushroom & short rib agnolotti, arugula salad with taleggio, polenta with sausage & fontina & funghi pizza…not a bad bite in any of it. Full disclosure though: I’m the chefs mother, so in addition to being his biggest fan, I’m also his biggest critic! Don’t miss this cozy spot & while you’re there try Ode To The Lake; excellent craft cocktail. Much success to all involved! ~ Olivia’s Bistro Facebook
