Oliveto Restaurant-91st and Memorial

[safetyguy]

Saw this ad for a new restaurant that is a part of the Mazzio's Corp. called Oliveto. The ad says that it will be at 91st & Memorial. My guess is next to Panera since they are doing at the location ( just a guess)

Sounds like they are trying out a new concept. Maybe a step above Zios.

considering how Owasso is shedding restaurants, I hope you really believe that[}:)]

I ate there last week.  It was really good and I'll go back.  They had way to many staff wandering around, but I figure that's just because it was opening week and they were still working the kinks out and getting everyone trained.

I'm predicting a great restaurant crash of 2010 because eventually people are going to figure out they can afford high gas if they simply don't drive and eat out all the time.  It is a wonder grocery stores even stay in business.

If it takes that long.

They have been over-building restaurant chains for years now and I think we are almost at market saturation, if not beyond it.  I don't think it's just gas prices, though that does not help.  If you over-build capacity for shopping and dining, there's going to be failure and consolidation.  

One good indicator was seeing Brinker spin off their majority ownership in Macaroni Grill to a third-party equity firm.  I believe they see the writing on the wall and want to minimize overall losses when the inevitable crash happens.

I'm usually very optimistic about the economy.  But a feeding frenzy of development which makes no sense as of yet will result in a load of epic fail.

AWESOME!  Cause we know Tulsa doesn't have ENOUGH restaurants!

Oh and speaking of the two, Fresh Berry gets their fruit from Wal-Mart.  Saw an employee checking out with crates of stuff.  What a ripoff.

If this is in the same strip as Panera then almost everything on that corner will be a restaurant.  Panera, Backyard Burger, Mcds, Brook, Billy Sims....do we really need more?  Then just across the street you have Sonic, Cicis, and Mcalesters. I think I could let the supposed diversity slide if they actually made that area walkable....but for the life of me I can't think of a single sidewalk in that area to any of the neighboring subdivisions.

I like having lots of choice within easy biking distance. (He writes as he prepares to leave for a 30 mile gasoline-powered roundtrip to eat somewhere far away)

It is a little much having Panera and McAlisters across the street from each other, though. And you forgot Subway, which I'm surprised is still there.. []

an italian restaurant (I dont car if they say they are a bistro) that doesn't serve you bread when you sit down it a major failure in my book.  Oliveto is like saying "wow, Panera isn't expensive enough for me, I need to go spend MORE on bread and pasta".

Tell their corporate office. Its a new concept so I'm sure they'll make a few changes.

[Townsend]

Free bread...free bread makes a place for you.

You must be a treat for any service person.

So Inteller will not be hanging out at Oliveto, that means we can get in.  Lets go.

do you expect chips and salsa when you sit down at a mexican place?  no, don't even answer that, you'll just lie and make yourself look stupid.

Your flacid attempts at name calling.

It's mind blowing how much of a lonely, hated, complaint filled life you have.

The "oh crap, that little nothing just walked into the room.  Wonder what he'll hate this time." you hear when you enter a place must be heart breaking for a friendless worm.

Anyway, always nice to see new places to eat.

Geez, inteller, I sincerely hope you didn't ***** and moan the entire time and make your dinner guests miserable![]

spoken like a truely bitter, overpaid, server.

you probably think people should tip no less than 20%, regardless of service.

Nope, just remember your type.

Always angry no matter the job the server does.

I ate there Thursday night.......good tasty food, kind quick service.
I would go back anytime. I had a wood fired brick oven Pesto pizza..mmmm good. Prices seem right.
My DATE and I had drinks (several each) appetizer 2 entrees and desert....less than $50 smackers.
Nice looking room.

But but but...no free bread?  (Shudder)

Glad to hear you don't believe the lack of free bread constitutes concept failure.
