Liv's Oyster Bar

Liv's Oyster Bar John Brescio, Owner/Executive Chef, creates tantalizing dishes with an emphasis on local ingredients
(652)

Opening in 2006, Liv’s Oyster Bar quickly became a dining destination in Old Saybrook. Inspired by his daughter, Olivia, and years of experience in the restaurant industry, owner John Brescio set out with a desire to welcome the community to his family’s table. Dining at Liv’s, whether in the main room, at the bar, or on the patio, is an experience to be savored with friends and family long after

summer on the shoreline has past. John Brescio also serves as Liv’s Executive Chef, creating simple, focused dishes with an emphasis on local ingredients, and the stunning seafood that the area provides. The menu at Liv’s changes with the seasons, bringing guests a true taste of the pristine environment. John works closely with Liv’s partners to make sure only the best produce is used, as he would serve nothing less to his family. Together with his exceptional staff, John welcomes you to the special experience he’s created at Liv’s Oyster Bar.
