Tonight I had one of the best meals of my life. From the quality, uniqueness, service, experience factors, it was a 10!!! I ate at Oliveto's in Oakland. Everyone must eat here!!! The theme of the menu was "Wild Boar." They have their staples, but every course had a few options of selections the chef created featuring the fresh boar.
