We had lunch in this restaurant for my graduation, the food was delicious, from the pizzas to the first courses and also the desserts, the staff was very kind, and the place was very welcoming. The gluten-free cuisine is reliable and is effectively gluten-free and contamination-free, as unfortunately does not happen in other restaurants. Even though we were a little late due to some problems and with lunch we exceeded the closing time of the restaurant, the staff was still very kind and helpful in understanding the situation, without making us feel it in any way. I highly recommend this restaurant, thanks again!

A iconic stereotypical Italian corner restaurant/cafe, which I would recommend everyone to visit. The topping of the sandwich was very tasty with a lot of flavor, but the gluten free bread was quite directly dry. So much dry that I wonder if the ones deciding the bread even has tried it, because even cheap supermarket bread would be preferred above it. But it should be mentioned that the breads with gluten were by the rest of the group met with better reviews. The staff was few making at one point a long queue, as of the one attending the cash register where helping preparing the food. To be fair, the restaurant were at this moment quite crowded.

One of the highlights on our Bologna trip 🇮🇹 From the start you feel the passion in the people at Oltre. They love food and they want you to have a good time. The menu is delicious and they can even commodate glutenfree alternatives. Their regú is exceptional. Also a shout-out to their bartender and sommelier. They did Such a fine job in making it an experience to remember. And a funny little detail was they had Street Fighter in the basement 🔥

Who in their right mind serves raw beef to humans? Even if this is a traditional food for bears or wolves, people should know what a "steak" means in their menu. At least warn clients that they are about to pay for dog food. Warining others about allergies and gluten BS, but not warning anyone they are about to be served animal food is the lowest insult.

GLUTEN FREE burgers I have already eaten their sandwiches several times and they are very good, all choices have the possibility of being made with gluten-free bread for a surcharge, but in any case the food is very good. Obviously it's not an AIC place because they heat the bread on the same griddle, but the shop assistants are super prepared and say so as soon as you ask for the variation. Finally a cash free restaurant in the big European cities, it's about time civilization arrived here too! The only flaw: the gluten-free sandwiches always arrive cold, whether they are ordered or taken on the spot.

Bad experience, very rude, rude staff and not available to the customers' requests. Not special food and failure to respect previously made arrangements for a graduation party. The agreed menu, the maximum available time, the menu for people with celiac disease, and the place where you were supposed to eat were not respected. Too expensive for the type of food offered

We have been coming to this bar for about two years. Both the savory and sweet brioches are superb and look very inviting. There are various types of dough (for celiacs, vegans...) and the filling is very abundant. Despite the large influx of people, the service is always excellent and Serena is always very welcoming.
