Al Ponte in Großenbrode

I recently had dinner at Al Ponte. I've always enjoyed going there because I was impressed by the quality and service. I haven't been back since my last visit. I ordered pasta in a tomato cream sauce with minced meat and mushrooms for a whopping €16.90. The dish tasted good. However, the portion was more like a child's plate. That's probably why there was almost no minced meat in the sauce. The same goes for the mushrooms. For me, it was my last visit to this restaurant.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant. We sat in the summer garden, where the background noise was a bit loud. Unfortunately, the staff is a bit forgetful. Sometimes they forget something when taking your order, or when you order a second drink. Overall, though, it's a good Italian restaurant where you get what you expect!

We had pizzas to go, they were done very fast and service where very friendly. Not amazing food but still tasty

It was very tasty, better Italian was there in Großenbrode

We had a lovely seat in the conservatory, and even though there were only three people waiting, they were always cheerful and friendly. We enjoyed the food immensely, and the value for money was absolutely spot on 💯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Super authentic Italian cuisine!

So pizza 🍕 cheese burnt needs improvement staff and service very nice and polite

We've eaten here several times on vacation. It's always been worth a visit and a meal.

Simply a waste of time We were there a year ago, and it was fine except for the fact that they completely forgot to bring one person's food (a child, too)! And now, a year later, we decided to try again. Disaster! Drinks were ordered - everything was fine. Except that the Flensburger we ordered was definitely not a Flensburger, but some other beer, and definitely not what we ordered. After waiting forever, three of the four dishes arrived. The fourth one arrived almost an hour later, after everyone else was finished. A lasagna - and it was burnt! It smelled almost deadly, black around the edges, and the cheese rock hard. After we sent it back to the kitchen and got a replacement, it was slightly better, but completely oversalted, almost inedible. Staff were never there when we needed them, and the atmosphere was generally very tense. The manager in the kitchen seemed to be practically shouting at his employees. Staff took on task after task, but quickly lost track. Tasks were started and then left in the middle of the room. Simply awful, not recommended... better go to other restaurants...

Great Italian restaurant, the pizza is a delight. We'll be back when we're in the area. Exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The food is first-class.

We picked up the food, and it was delicious and fresh. The restaurant also looked very nice, with very polite staff.

We had to wait a long time for the food, and after about 1.5 hours the food finally arrived

We had pizza, fresh, crispy, and well-topped. When we asked for garlic butter or something similar, we were served garlic and chili oil. Very attentive, young, and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

A lovely Italian restaurant. Very good value for money and friendly staff.

We really liked the fact that you had the choice of sitting inside the restaurant, in the conservatory, or outside. We chose the conservatory both times; it was very pleasant there because the roof was open. We had the calzone, which was very tasty and huge. We went back on our last evening, and it was a good thing we had a reservation. It was extremely busy, but the efficient service kept everything under control. We once again enjoyed the food. Nice, friendly service.

Unfortunately, very disappointed; we relied on the reviews. We had booked a table for 14 people 14 days ago. It was supposed to be a meal for a silver wedding anniversary. We had received confirmation twice. When we arrived at the restaurant, none of the staff knew about the reservation. No apology! Tables and chairs were then pushed together. After 15 minutes, we were able to be seated. We ordered food and drinks; the staff were not very professional. Wine was not poured, the water bottles were not opened. Everything was just slapped on the table. Then the food arrived; there was no salad, which came after we had asked twice (after 1 hour). The food was mediocre, and the pizzas had very few toppings. When I wanted to order something to drink, the waiter said he didn't have time. I asked him if he worked in a restaurant or was on the run. I've never experienced anything like it. The staff were completely overwhelmed and unprofessional. Disappointing; this was not how we imagined the evening would go.

This restaurant is a disaster in terms of service. We booked a table for 14 people about two weeks ago for my sister and brother-in-law's silver wedding anniversary. When we arrived, there was no reservation. It was simply forgotten. The service team was slightly overwhelmed with arranging the required tables. We had to suggest it. There was no appropriate apology. This embarrassing situation was simply ignored by the restaurant. The food was average. Nothing special. Three of us had fish with salad. The salad was forgotten, twice! So my mother got the salad after an hour and repeated requests. Drinks: The waiter came once, and that was it. When we wanted to order more drinks, the waiter literally said, "He doesn't have time." If the waiter doesn't have time to order drinks, you should consider whether this is the right job for you. As a restaurant, a solid 6. The staff were simply overwhelmed and inexperienced. We left the restaurant after dinner. Decoration: In summer, there's still Christmas decorations everywhere. It's not a big deal, but oh well.

Really tasty, and reasonably priced for the location.

I've only ever had pizza this good in Italy 😊 I can only recommend it

Delicious food and very friendly staff

To be honest, three of us ate there and were disappointed. The fries were dry, and only when we asked for mayo did they come out of a packet. Then the Hawaiian pizza, which was amazing, was dry, and they had 12 pineapples, all for €14. It's really sad. The service was nice and polite, but another thing worth mentioning is that the toilet facilities are in a very poor condition. We were disappointed. 😞.

Been here for 10 years. This year, completely disappointed. Tables dirty. Not cleared. Then when we ordered, we didn't have any salami. The food wasn't what we ordered. Tables sticky. Service catastrophic. Things have gotten so much worse. We loved coming here for years. here. But unfortunately, it's gone extremely bad. My pasta was so greasy. I ate it halfway. The rest was inedible. The cheese at the next table was moldy. The paper napkins were disgusting. There was no cutlery. I had to get it myself at the service table. I'm very disappointed.

Very accommodating hosts, delicious food at a fair price. There's nothing to complain about.

A fantastic buffet for our event. I highly recommend it.

The staff was very friendly. The food was served quickly. The quality and taste of the food were excellent. We will definitely be back!!!

Very unassuming from the outside, but very nice inside. The staff was friendly, the food came quickly but was rather average. We all had pizzas, which were large and very thin, and the crust was unfortunately hard. But for once, it was definitely edible. What bothered me a lot was that animals—at that moment, they were dogs—have absolutely no business in the restaurant, aside from the hair and the constant barking, which was very annoying, even though I really don't have anything against animals.

Top service Very friendly staff Delicious food 🥘 We'll be back‼️

We ate there for the first time today. The pizza is super delicious, very large, and thin-crust. The staff is very friendly. The atmosphere is very nice.

Hi, it was our first time here. We had a table reservation. Service was very good, fast, and courteous. The dishes arrived promptly, and special requests were no problem. There wasn't a specials menu with daily specials, but the dishes were good and more than adequate. Unfortunately, the noise level is very loud because there are no partitions in the dining room.

Very tasty and pleasant smelling food friendly staff cheerful kitchen cozy place nice music everyone who has not been there yet recommends a visit to this place

We've been going to Großenbrode for many years, and "Al Ponte" was one of our favorite restaurants. Unfortunately, the entire staff has been replaced...including the chef?! The pizza was lightly topped and the crust thin, which we actually like. But it wasn't crispy, more like mushy. We tried it a second time. The pizza was still bad, and the lasagna was small and pre-made. The staff, except for the new manager, seemed totally unmotivated and like temporary workers. The wine glass was placed on the wrong side and right at the edge of the table next to the mineral water. It's a real shame ☹️. The decor has also deteriorated considerably. There's nothing outside anymore, and mostly wilted flowers inside. And the prices remain high. We're happy to pay for quality and good service, but unfortunately, that's no longer the case there. We always loved going there. The food, the head waiter, and the rest of the staff have always been top-notch over the past few years. Never change a winning team. Maybe we'll try again in the fall. With this lineup, the regular season will be a real challenge. Sincerely

Everything was fine, a bit inconspicuous from the outside, but inside, cozy, nice service, the food was very tasty, I would love to come back.

Here you get big, thin, crispy and delicious pizzas, just as they should be. The ambience is ok. The music was a bit loud for our taste... The service was friendly and the pizzas were ready quickly. The price is ok for a holiday resort.

Pasta, sehr lecker. Die beste Cabonara die Ich jemals in Deutschland gegessen habe. Ambiente nicht so toll, zu viele Tische in zu wenig Raum. Essen war sehr gut!

My name is Sofia and I was a waitress at this place. First of all no one pays for the service, the owner Emilton owes us money for working for him and more than a month has passed and he still hasn't paid us. I recommend you not to order pizza because where the pizza is made there are a lot of insects flying around and you might even have eaten one. The quality of the products is poor and in the warehouse where the food is stored, rats are often seen and they usually walk over the food. If I were you, I would never eat there again unless you wanted to catch an illness.

We really, really enjoy being here. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy and the food is always fresh and delicious. The service is also good, we always like to come back.

Absolutely courteous and polite staff. The food was very, very good, whether pizza, risotto. Spaghetti and...

A fantastic pizza Thank you very much

Great food, great service and real Italian charm.

Nice Italian restaurant with a delicious menu. We'll be back! 1+++

The reception was friendly. We weren't allowed to try the open wine; we were recommended a more expensive bottle. The food was okay, but nothing more.

The food was quite good. However, I have to say that it was just average. Pizza and pasta were ok. Dessert and appetizer accordingly too. The baked bruschetta was cold, but that wasn't that dramatic. Service was weak. After about 30 minutes we were only allowed to order, and I had to ask for dessert three times. Too bad. Drinks went a little better. Table was reserved for 8 people, which also worked well online. The ambience is quite good and cozy, but the temperature was quite low, i.e. a bit cold. Parking is easy as there are parking spaces around the corner. Charging points are also available. Otherwise, the central location on the promenade is of course great.

Wir hatten uns Abendessen bestellt. Das Essen ist hervorragend! Wenn man Lust auf Restaurant Qualität auf seiner eigenen Couch hat, ist hier bestens aufgehoben Wir hatten Pizza, mega lecker, dünner Teig und riesig. Gnocci, sehr sehr gut! Die Tomatensauce war so gut gewürzt und mein Highlight Bruchetta, auch klasse. Alles frisch. Keine TK Lieferservice auf hohem Niveau und Restaurant Qualität Immer wieder gerne! Macht weiter so! Preisleistung ist top!!

We ordered our food to take away, short waiting time, very friendly staff. The restaurant is very cozy and chic and is located directly on the beach promenade. The food was excellent, I can only recommend it!

Delicious food and friendly staff.

We spent two weeks in Großenbrode in December 2024 and visited Al Ponte several times as one of the few restaurants open. The atmosphere is very familiar and the friendly service staff quickly internalized our drink preferences. The guest room is comfortably furnished and we particularly liked the indirect lighting. The pizza was good, even if the dough was a bit too crispy for us. Although we only had a drink most days, we were always warmly welcomed and treated.

So, if the weather is bad, you have to eat out... Correction, cozy.indoor area 2023 Absolute improvement Bruschetta & other things

Nice place. Nice service. I would be happy to recommend it 👍There was fresh mussel. Delicious😊

War gestern zum ersten Mal dort. Das Restaurant ist einladend eingerichtet. Sehr aufmerksames und freundliches Personal. Meine Pizza war hervorragend. Seelen eine so gute Pizza Tonno gegessen.

Even though the internet said it was open, we were told that this was normal

Ate very good pizza. The service was very friendly and attentive. The ambience seems to be a bit old but it was still cozy.

We went there for dinner with the family for my wife's birthday. I can fully recommend this restaurant. The service is courteous, friendly and very attentive. The food was served at the same time, even though we ordered very different dishes with 11 family members. From the starters to the main courses to the dessert there was nothing to complain about. Each of us left satisfied and very full. The price-performance ratio is absolutely right. We felt in good hands, served and looked after at Al Ponte Großenbrode. In any case, for us, this restaurant is one of the top addresses in the gastronomic sector in Ostholstein. Thank you very much Grünhagen family PS: Best regards to the excellent team in the kitchen. 👍🏼

We ordered take away. After 20 minutes everything was ready, as announced. The pizza was nice and thin and ok. The penne in ham and cream sauce was nothing! The sauce tastes neutral and the ham is disgusting. I think it can be done even better.

We have eaten there several times and have been satisfied so far. Takeaway pizza is also delicious. However, I am very surprised at the price development. Very high prices for simple pasta dishes and then you don't get bread and parmesan with it. I have never experienced this at any Italian restaurant. We will eat elsewhere in the future.

Unsere Essen waren jedesmal perfekt alles war superlecker Bedienung perfekt Preis ok Mit unserem kleinen Hund war alles kein Problem

Delicious, clean, friendly, pleasant and attractive decor. I can recommend it without any problems, and would happily do so again. 👍☺️🥗🍷 A white, red or rosé wine without alcohol is recommended. 🍷 ☀️

Attentive staff, great food, very friendly and not just a tourist service. We'd love to come back.

There were four of us there. First we ordered something to drink, which took 15 minutes. Then we were brought the wrong main course, although the waiter/waitress was so confident that we had ordered this dish. Overall the food was below average. We wouldn't recommend anyone to eat there. !!!!!!DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!!!

The food was excellent, large portions and extremely tasty The service was also really friendly Recommended

Unfortunately we were disappointed twice...that's why we probably won't see you again. We ordered the food over the phone. The phone call was very friendly, the food was ready quite quickly and the staff was also very nice and accommodating when we picked it up. The ambience looked ok to me, but it was only a snapshot when picking up the ordered food. Arrived home, hit and soon the blow. Very, but also very small portions at a very horrendous price. My penne was OK except for the cooked ham. However, the taste of the ravioli al tartuffo did not live up to what the price promised. We wanted to give it a second chance, but unfortunately it was wasted.

The pizza tastes fantastic! Great service and staff also super friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Großenbrode.

A typical Italian restaurant a little out of the way and not immediately visible from the promenade. Everything tasted very tasty and the portions were really big. The pizza is actually too big and a smaller version would be desirable, and not just for children. Staff attentive and nice.

Great evening, welcoming staff and attentive to customers

Thank you for the lovely evening

We are in Großenbrode about 3-4 times a year and have found the restaurant to be an absolute asset to Großenbrode, as the gastronomy for the place still has a lot of room for improvement. During our holidays we ate there at least twice and would describe ourselves as holiday regulars. The food was generally really good, but we'll leave it to be seen whether the prices for the food are justified. However, in our opinion the quality has also deteriorated. However, drink prices broke the camel's back this summer. An Aperol Sprizz, which cost €8.90 at Easter (which is already an announcement), cost €9.50 this summer. It wasn't worth it to us anymore. We paid €101.30 for three people, sh. Receipt. And the food, especially the salmon, wasn't even good. But they can do pizza. Dear AlPonte team: Think a bit about your pricing and whether you have to rip off the people with whom you earn your money so badly. The increased food prices, energy costs, etc. cannot be cited as the sole reason. Of course you also have to finance the quieter times with additional income in the main season, but the amount is slowly becoming full. For us, we will give you another chance in the fall and will definitely discuss this again.

A very nice and cozy restaurant with a winter garden and outdoor area including a small playground for children. Very family and child friendly. Food is very very tasty!!! We'll come back to you next year!!!

Sensational food at good prices, I would love to come back. See you soon.......

Very tasty pizza and very nice service

Very warm and good service, delicious food and there is a climbing frame for the children.

In the immediate vicinity of the plaza on the south beach you would actually expect tourist cuisine. But Al Ponte doesn't fit in there at all. The pizza was actually perfect. There was also pasta with salmon. That was really good too. Tables are large and not too crowded; you can also sit outside or in the winter garden. Service was great too. We were happy to be guests twice in our five days.

Very nice and well-kept restaurant. We were there in the summer and sat outside. There was a swing and climbing tower in the garden for the children. Great for bridging the waiting time. The service was very attentive and very friendly. The food came in a reasonable time and was delicious. Pasta and pizza were fresh and visually very well presented. The small mixed salad was also great. We would be happy to come back and would be happy to recommend the restaurant.

Nice atmosphere and delicious food but you have to bring a lot of time. Still a recommendation

Nice location, nice staff, food was very tasty

Telephone number on the internet was incorrect, service was difficult because there was hardly any German, pizzas were good, calamari too... but way too expensive

Wir waren 2 mal hier in einer Woche. Exzellenter Service, sehr freundlich und schnell. Sehr leckeres Essen und angemessene Preise. Wir kommen gerne wieder ☺️

The food was delicious and there is a nice little climbing frame for the children. Our kids really enjoyed using this, which made the wait bearable for the kids ;)

Hatten uns 2 Pizzen und 2 Nudel Gerichte geholt. Wqren soweit lecker und frisch gemacht allerdings mit 60€ alles andere als ein Schnäppchen dafür leider die Portionen der Nudelgerichte zu klein und die Pizza zu wenig belegt

Side street, pizza large and very thin, salad bland, quality of ingredients low

Everything is always great and highly recommended!!!

Very tasty pizza 🍕 gladly again 🍕

New owner, super delicious food and top staff, simply extra class 10 out of 10 points

Seit Jahren eine hohes Niveau sind zum x-ten Male in Großenbrode Selbstgemachte Nudeln und somit leckere Nudelgerichte Eine vielfalt an Pizzen toll belegt geschmacklich etwas für den Gaumen. Ein freundliches zuvorkommendes Team Und erst die Nachspeisen … ohne Worte Rundum perfecto Grazie Mille

Very friendly staff, large, delicious pizza, everything was great! Gladly again!

Sometimes the operation has a hard time understanding. But it's always excellent. The ambience is not really convincing in the outdoor area, covered or not. The food is awesome. Super delicious and exceptionally good for a restaurant on the promenade! However, the prices are sometimes very high. Unfortunately, ravioli, for example, are absolutely not enough and the portions of the pasta are outrageously small overall. This should actually be reworked a bit!

Super delicious pizza the size of a wagon wheel! Great taste and well topped. We sat in the covered outdoor area. There's a bit of a problem with ordering drinks, but we're also there to eat. The lack of staff is also noticeable here. But otherwise everything was great

Absolutely nice service and very tasty food. The atmosphere is perfect. A must when staying in Großenbrode.

We had pre-ordered today and were supposed to pick up in 15 minutes. As discussed, we were there and wanted to receive our food, even though the restaurant was empty, our food hadn't even started yet. We should wait another 30 minutes. Since we didn't order to wait but rather to pick up, we left again. Too bad. Poorly organized and also unfriendly. This company doesn't earn a single euro from us.

Simply delicious PIZZA and pasta! Highly recommended!

Super delicious pizza and pasta dishes too. Price performance is great. We'll definitely be back ❤️

Me and my father ate the best pizza in our entire lives in this shop, the edge was crispy like a cookie

The food was OK. The service and ambience can still be worked on

Delicious Italian food. The pizzas are very large (even if the Gorgonzola pizza doesn't have enough Gorgonzola on it). The gnocchi are also outstanding. There is absolutely no criticism of the taste of the food and the waiters are also hospitable, even if we were promised a table in a hurry, which we didn't get. Pre-ordering is no problem; also for pickup. The facility is unique. Unfortunately, I have the feeling that the almost extinct passage in Großenbrode is affecting Al Ponte a little, but that's what Al Ponte can do the least. Tasty, hospitable, good restaurant

The pizza was great!!! Very tasty and well prepared food. The service is great! It's not always easy to react professionally during Corona times and that was impressive. Absolutely great!! Thanks!!! Even after Corona, it's getting better every year. The salad with walnuts 🫠😊. Staff wonderful. Even if you are a guest alone.

Like last vacation, the food and service were again very good. Thanks for that

Good authentic Italian atmosphere and delicious dishes. Thin and crispy pizza, very tomato soup. It's very rare to have something so good! Also relatively cheap. We'd love to come back!

Very nice team and delicious food. We really enjoyed the lasagne. Espresso also good.

Best Italian far and wide. Just eat 🔝

We had a very tasty meal here. The only drawback was that you couldn't reserve in advance. No one could be reached by phone and there was no response to an email. But as I said, everything was great on site.

There is no dislike. Attentive, very friendly staff, good cuisine. Prices: Yesterday was cheap, but seems reasonable to us.

Nice restaurant, food good and plentiful, prices ok,
