Pan D'Olive | Our Story

A bit about Pan D'olive

Born from a passion for Italy, Turkey, and Greece, Pan D'Olive brings three great Mediterranean traditions together in one warm, unhurried room near Forest Park. Our menu reflects the Mediterranean the way we love it most: fresh, shareable, colorful, and full of life. We believe dining should feel generous and social, with dishes that spark conversation and a setting that makes lingering part of the experience. More than anything, Pan D’Olive is about creating a mood: relaxed, spirited, and full of connection. It is our invitation to slow down, gather close, and enjoy a little taste of la dolce vita right here in Maplewood.

It Starts with the Bread

Before the first course, the kitchen sends out its signature house-made olive bread — crusty, tender, and finished with olive oil. It's earned its own mention in local press.

The Italian Thread

Handcrafted pasta anchors the Italian tradition — creamy mushroom fettuccine, bow-tie in bright tomato, each plate finished with fresh herbs and quiet care.

Bold Spices, Ancient Roots

Turkish kofta arrives grilled, served with yogurt, red onion, and warm pita. Greek flavors follow alongside: roasted eggplant, phyllo cigars, and hummus brightened with feta.

Three Floors, Three Moods

The main level is bright and built for long lunches; the lower level turns intimate and candlelit for slow dinners. When weather cooperates, the patio on McCausland opens a third way to spend the evening.

The Owner Is in the Room

The owner is on the floor every night — table to table, making sure every visit feels personal rather than routine.
