Located next door to the Hotel Monaco, The Olive Bistro specializes in panini sandwich and offers a dozen different varieties, from the salmon-basil-provolone panini and the Black Forest ham and Swiss, to an avocado and sharp cheddar or the roasted peppers, basil and mozzarella panini. Not hungry for a sandwich? Try one of the fresh salads: Tuscan, Mediterranean, Caesar, Caprese or shrimp salad.
Antipasti and tapas options include bruschetta, crostinis, a cheese and olive plate, shrimp and carpaccio, and fresh melon with prosciutto. The owner, Salami, hails from Casablanca and Paris and is one of the nicest, friendly restaurateurs you'll ever meet.
The cool music mix at The Olive Bistro is terrific, as is the art that decorates the roomy eatery. There's imported beer and wine available too, along with tea, cappucino, lattes, frappes, machiatos, sodas, San Pellegrino and more.
