January in Oklahoma often brings with it little sunshine, icy-cold winds and precip, and it comes at the same time many of us are also experiencing the post-holiday season blues.
The management at Oliveto Italian Restaurant invites our readers to perk up their spirits (and tastebuds) with a delicious dinner followed by an indulgent after-dinner drink at Oliveto Italian Bistro, 1301 S. I-35 Service Road in Moore. Management’s seasonal recommendation: the Chocolate Oliveto, a decadent chocolate martini.
