Letter of Recommendation

We owned Oliveto Cafe and Restaurant for 35 years, and in that capacity worked with several chefs.  Two of those chefs achieved national acclaim before they left to start their own renowned restaurant and Italian cured meat businesses.

When Chef Peter Jackson joined us as chef, he was able and willing to carry on the tradition that those chefs had established.

Peter has both an excellent palate and masterful technique. Paired with his passion for food and cooking is his character:  he is hard working, calm, generous of spirit, and even tempered, all of which attributes enable him to accept--and succeed at--any challenge given him. (After serving as Chef of Oliveto when it was fully functioning and thriving as a restaurant of high repute, he saw us through the very difficult times of the pandemic with patience, wisdom, and common sense.)

We wholeheartedly recommend Chef Peter Jackson in any capacity that the position of Private Chef might entail.

Bob Klein and Maggie Blyth Klein Former owners of Oliveto Restaurant
