Ramo D’Olivo Finds A New Spot in Downtown Bentonville

The long-standing local wine bar Ramo D’Olivo, commonly referred to as just Ramo, recently closed shop near the Bentonville Square to relocate.

• Wine-o: Their new location, 104 SE 6th, still provides over 200 variations of wines from across the world, but they now offer beer on tap and have a Spaghetti Night every Monday.

• Try before you buy: Beyond a glass of Pino or cab, Ramo identifies as an olive oil & vinegar shop. Sourcing directly from the coast, Ramo lets you taste and select your preferred oil or vinegar, and they can bottle it for you on-site.

All said and done, they’ve recently become one of our favorite patio spots. Check out their location and learn more HERE.
