Description

This restaurant in the lively Mercato delle Erbe district has an entrance adorned with hundreds of stickers, giving it the appearance of a record shop rather than a contemporary-style eatery with a bar counter and a highly original surfboard table near the entrance. The modern cuisine has its roots in the region yet also includes skilfully prepared dishes from around the world (we highly recommend the Bolognese ramen, which includes tagliolino in a mushroom broth, with parmesan, quail eggs marinated in balsamic vinegar, and spinach). There’s also a choice of cocktails to start or round off you

Review summary

Oltre in Bologna offers Emilian cuisine with mixed reception. Food quality is polarizing; while some praise the inventive traditional dishes and desserts, others criticize mediocrity, cheap ingredients, and rushed service. Staff are generally described as friendly and professional, though delays and poor responsiveness are noted. Ambiance varies from elegant and intimate to uncomfortably dark, warm, and noisy, with a confusing entrance. Value is frequently questioned, with many feeling the experience does not justify the cost or expectations, leading to inconsistent satisfaction among diners.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking traditional flavors who can tolerate inconsistent ambiance.
