Dolly Olive
Dolly Olive is the newest restaurant from Portland’s Sesame Collective restaurant group. The southern Italian restaurant was named for chef and owner Kasey Mills grandmother Dolly. With an emphasis on an in house bakery program, fresh made pastas and other dishes that are treated simply and presented elegantly, Dolly Olive lets simple, high quality local and Italian ingredients speak for themselves. Together with companion bar, Bar Dolly, this is a dynamic corner in Portland’s walkable West End neighborhood. A hop skip and a jump away from bookstore mecca Powell’s, Portland 5, Portland Art Museum (and the soon-to-open Rothko Pavillion), and many other cultural destinations, Dolly Olive offers a grown up, but buzzing energy for downtown goers.
