Ristorante Bertolucci is a cozy and personalized Italian restaurant located in the heart of Kalamaja at Vana-Kalamaja 28b – in an architecturally valuable building designed by Karli Luik and Kevin Villem. The restaurant's interior is warm and homely, interwoven with family details and also inspired by the film world, as a tribute to a legendary director.
Large windows open up views of the Kalamaja environment, creating a unique atmosphere where the charm of Tallinn's oldest district meets the Italian zest for life. Bertolucci is a place where time seems to slow down, and each visit becomes an enjoyable taste journey.
The menu is based on modern Italian cuisine, with roots deep in traditions. Every dish is created with respect for authentic flavors but presented in a fresh and modern way, providing experiences for both lovers of classics and discoverers of new tastes.
The restaurant's kitchen is led by chef Marco Bertolucci, who hails from Venice. His passion for cooking began in childhood in a Mediterranean flavor-rich environment. Years of experience in Italian, Spanish, and Japanese kitchens have shaped his style – it combines traditional Italian cuisine, Mediterranean influences, and international standards.
Having operated in Estonia since 2013, Marco has managed several high-end restaurants until he found his place in Kalamaja – a place that inspired him to create a personal and heartfelt restaurant bearing his family name Bertolucci.
Bertolucci is a place where authentic Italian flavors, a passion for food, and a warm atmosphere meet – ideal for a romantic evening, meeting friends, or celebrating special moments.
