Elegant restaurant, cordial staff. Surprisingly the pizza is really good and close to the good ones you can find in Italy. The portion is extremely big. Definetly worth it

The place was so great with the perfect lighting and music. We ordered Hugo alkoholfrei as always because it's one of my favourite in l'osteria. We always order half and half pizza because that way we could try different pizzas at once. The service was great and attentive, I couldn't thank enough Antigona for making me comfortable. I would definitely come back again.

Great pizza, very large and thin. Service was great too, even though it was busy.

Super big pizzas and a lot of options. The lasagna was not up to my taste, it tasted just like vegetables, however the bbq pizza I really enjoyed. The atmosphere was okay but a little loud, so the music for me personally could have been louder and it was super super warm inside, like sauna vibes. The waitresses were kind, attentive yet not too pushy. The options on the menu are really diverse, everybody would find something they like on it for sure! :)

The place feels Italian, smells Italian, tastes Italian. Great choice for crowded groups, had every pizza on the menu all of them tasted good, the wine was definitely the best tasting wine I had in Germany, the aperitifs were also amazing. 10/10 place, would recommend, would go again. Real classy atmosphere.
