Oltre.

Just a few years ago, the very idea of opening a modern trattoria would have seemed like reinventing the wheel. Yet the most successful openings in Italy seem to fall under this umbrella, and Oltre is one of the best examples. Located in Bologna, this pleasant restaurant is a fresh take on the traditional trattoria format. Dishes are curated to perfection – the chef formerly worked at the revered Osteria Bottega – and dishes like the tortellini in capon broth and tagliatelle al ragù redefine the canon. The modern, welcoming space adds a personal touch.
