EVOO

Extra Virgin Olive Oil. That’s what the acronym EVOO stands for. In the Boston culinary community, of course, it's also a name unto itself, representing the much-lauded restaurant opened originally in Somerville in 1998 by chef Peter McCarthy and his business partner and wife, Colleen. The duo moved their award-winning operation to Cambridge in March 0f 2010.

McCarthy’s cooking was honed at the legendary Seasons in the Bostonian Hotel, so the menu at EVOO evokes the innovative spirit of that dining room. Still, the particular fusion of influences that combine to create what he calls American cuisine makes EVOO unique. Watch it all come together in the restaurant’s open kitchen.
