Peter and Colleen McCarthy opened EVOO in June, 1998. Peter graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in November, 1987 where he was voted "Most Likely to Succeed" by his graduating class. Just out of CIA, Peter began working at the Bostonian Hotel as a breakfast cook. He worked his way through the ranks and was promoted to Executive Chef in 1993. In 1997, Peter left the Bostonian to pursue his dream of opening his own restaurant. EVOO opened ten months later.

Colleen, a CPA, graduated from Stonehill College with a degree in accounting and joined the public accounting profession in 1991. Colleen continued to work in public accounting until June 2000 when she joined Peter at EVOO full time.

Peter and Colleen make a great team, with Peter creating and cooking and Colleen managing the front of the house.
