As a celiac I was excited to try a gluten free restaurant in Italy and was not disappointed. The owners were so welcoming and explained the whole menu to us. Also great that my son could have gluten pasta. I had freshly made tortellini al ragu, something you’d never get gf anywhere! And it was amazing! Also on offer were gf beer. And a great selection of wines!

We had some very good pizzas, which were huge (a little too huge). Gluten-free options are available. However, the service was a bit expensive.

This restaurant was recommended by The Guardian and it's reviews were good. We arrived without a reservation and were able to sit outside. Service was friendly and prompt. We had gluten free pasta Ragu which was very tasty and pasta cooked perfectly. My husband had sausage pasta which was also nice but pasta was a little too al dente but still tasty. I didn't fancy any of the desserts as only the chocolate cake was gluten free and I'm not a fan of chocolate cake. They did offer to do me a bowl of strawberries, which were delicious and very large portion. Wine and local beer very good and service good. Bill came to €50. Would definitely recommend.

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.
