Oltre - Alimentari e Cucina

Right on the edge of Prahran Market sits Oltre—an old-school Italian outpost doing things with unapologetic authenticity. Forget the trendy brunch fluff. The devoted expat crowd practically lives here for a reason. Pure culinary sprezzatura. They come for the espresso—pulling a dark, flawless crema that anchors the entire menu—and stay for fiercely traditional plates. Think deeply comforting bowls of ribollita, rich lasagna ragù, and house-made pasta hitting that perfect al dente bite. Slicing up beautifully aged prosciutto alongside stellar focaccia. Grab a seat at a street-side table. Order a thick, decadent mocha or a sharp Americano. Finish with a slice of rustic pear and almond cake. With service that treats you like family the second you walk in, it’s a brilliant slice of authentic Italy dropped right into South Yarra.
