Our Story

Olio

/ˈōlēō/ — noun: a miscellaneous collection of things

We named our restaurant ‘Olio’ because we didn't really know what it would become. We wanted a name that would leave our creative channels open to go wherever we felt our passion taking us.

We opened Olio in summer of 2019 and pride ourselves on offering our guests a unique, authentic and intimate dining experience. We studied what was already available in the village of Bayfield, and knew we had to set ourselves apart. While we don't classify ourselves as Italian, we take inspiration from the wonderful and fresh food associated with a more classically Mediterranean type of cuisine.

We change our menus with the seasons and love having several different features every single day we're open — so our loyal guests always have a choice. We cater to couples and small intimate groups, and our service is at a pace that encourages guests to linger and enjoy the atmosphere. Our dishes are freshly prepared to order. We make everything in house from scratch and are confident that what we offer is the very best.
