Opera Wein Art — Restaurant in Bayreuth

The three stars I'm giving here are entirely for the service and absolutely not for the food, which was utterly disappointing. I was really hoping to have some great Italian food for lunch today, and it was mediocre at best, absolutely inedible at worst.

I first ordered the "Tagliatelle with deer ragout made with wine". It was indeed inedible. So salty I could barely even swallow it. And how can you mess up minced deer with wine? Somehow they managed to do it - aside from the massive salt attack, it was actually quite flavourless somehow, it was just the strangest thing.

I mentioned to the server that the dish was simply not what I expected, and I normally love Italian food no matter which region it comes from. So I asked them to simply replace the dish with a simple tomato sauce and spaghetti dish - how can anyone mess up something so basic, right? Once again a totally flavourless sauce aside from the huge amounts of Parmigiano I had to dump into it just to give it a little umph. It was worse than anything I could make myself at home, that's for sure, this type of dish is not the reason I go out and pay for Italian once in a while. The only thing done right was they cooked the pasta correctly, but even I can do that.

At least I could actually get down the second dish, unlike the first one, but it was really nothing special and actually quite forgettable. I don't know if I made a mistake by ordering pasta here and instead should have ordered something else, but let's just say I really didn't expect unspectacular to downright inedible food. I will never...

Had a reservation for 8:30 pm and didn’t get seated until 20 minutes later when the kitchen closes at 9 pm, we didn’t end up ordering until about 9:30 pm thankfully we were able to get food since we had a reservation for before and they didn’t have a table ready for us before, otherwise service was okay one lady was very kind and friendly to us but our server was quite dismissive and seemed very annoyed with all the whole night. Food was alright I would recommend for more of an aperitif more than dinner but setting is very cute and it’s a nice outside seating and in a very accessible area. I would go back for drinks but...

Opera Wein Art is an absolute gem in Bayreuth. This cozy little bar offers an escape with its warm and inviting ambiance. The service is top-notch—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making you feel like a valued guest from the moment you step in. Their Italian wine selection is excellent and the staff really knows their wine and all their recommendations are excellent. This is a must do if you’re...
