Brunos in Dinkelsbühl

Very average Italian food, I guess my expectations were too high seeing the reviews and having lived in Italy. The pasta dishes contain way to much pasta respective to filling, and the taste is okay, nothing special. The pizza was quite bland. When asked for feedback and sharing it we were ridiculed by the waiter.

The food is so-so. A little pricey, but acceptable. The Quattro Formaggi pizza is made with a flavorless cheese sauce, even though it shouldn't be. Also, the spicy gorgonzola is missing.

The large terrace is a great place to relax. The food (pizza) was excellent. The service was attentive and friendly.

Very friendly staff, excellent food, bravo to the chef! We'd gladly go back!

We went to this Italian restaurant, and unfortunately, the service was very disappointing. Drinks didn't arrive for about 30-40 minutes—and only because we asked the waiter about it. It took about an hour for the entire meal to arrive at the table. The waiter recommended a side dish to a friend that "went perfectly with it"—but in the end, he told us the baker had forgotten to put it in the oven, and we didn't get it at all. The food was very tasty, but the portions were quite meager for the price. When we paid, the bill was simply divided by 5, even though we would have liked to pay individually, and the waiter tipped himself. It's a shame, because the food is excellent—but the service ruined our evening.

We are very disappointed. The reception was heartless, the tables were dirty despite our reservations. Soot flakes on the table and chairs (wood-burning stove!!!) were ignored when we warned them. Our clothes were stained by the end. And the food wasn't up to the Italian we're used to. The lasagna was drowned in béchamel sauce without any ground meat, the salad was tasteless, and the carpaccio was dry and bland. So, all in all, we won't be regulars.

Nice pizzeria, fair prices, and a plentiful menu. The staff is also motivated and very friendly.

Genuine Italian flair and cuisine. Bruno’s is a beautiful experience, like an Italian vacation in the middle of a beautiful German city. The service is fantastic. The best food I’ve had in a long time and very reasonably priced too. The Vitello Tonnato was the best I’d had in my life! Thank you to the staff, you spoiled us wonderfully We’ll be back!

Extremely unfriendly server. He thinks he's funny, even though he's extremely unfriendly. You wait at least an hour for a chance to reorder. When ordering, you're harassed and asked to hurry up. So, all in all, absolutely not recommended. Even though the atmosphere is actually great.

The good thing at the beginning: the food was okay. Not outstanding, but OK. The rest, unfortunately, was abysmal. We didn't sit for a minute, were handed the menu, and the waiter stood impatiently next to us. Our request to serve the starters and main courses separately was immediately dismissed with a laugh. That wouldn't work. After we all decided, he commented with "finally, it's possible" and disappeared. After the meal, half the table was cleared, and then we were completely ignored for half an hour. When I went from the terrace into the restaurant to ask for the bill, my request was met with "someone will be here soon." After another 10 minutes of waiting, we were asked to pay inside, as they couldn't separate the bills outside. Our request for an espresso was answered with "the machine has already been cleaned." When I then pointed out that we would have liked to have ordered half an hour ago, I was just laughed at. So a colleague jokingly said that we could get a 10% discount, he said, "You can pay 10% more, okay?" and faked a laugh. After paying, I asked why they had to be so rude. This was answered with "Was I rude?!" and a smug grin.

Hi, I just picked up some pizzas to go. They're good, yes, but nowhere near as good as Italian. Maybe Germans are content, but those who've lived in Italy, not so much. Keep working! 🙏🏻

A nice Italian restaurant, with real professionals in the sector!!

Well, it tastes good. The pizza dough is so thin inside that you can almost see through it. The salad doesn't have any seasoning, just vinegar, and it tastes a bit bland. It's possible that the lettuce stalk slips in with it. But two at once? And this is the second time, that's just unacceptable. The staff is really nice, except for one. He's really terrible.

Updated on July 10, 2025, regarding my review from 2023. Absolutely terrible, after only two years, with the same service team. Unfriendly, listless, lacking in ambiance. The food was okay, but nothing like the last time. There may be a bad day, but in all departments, and in such a devastating manner, it's completely incomprehensible. No longer recommending it!!!

The food is delicious, especially the pizzas. The service staff is sometimes very pushy and unprofessional.

The pizza and pasta was the best we’ve had while in Germany! I would recommend if you are looking for a place to eat while visiting Dinkelsbühl

We used to be regulars at this restaurant, but unfortunately, our impression has changed significantly over time. During a previous visit, we encountered a very unpleasant situation: A waiter simply took our child from my husband's arms without asking, apparently because he wanted to pick him up for a moment instead of attending to his actual service. During our entire visit, he also barely gave us a chance to relax, as he repeatedly came to our table and engaged us in trivial conversation, even though we actually wanted to eat in peace. This intrusive and unprofessional behavior led to us not visiting the restaurant for a long time. We recently gave the restaurant a second chance – unfortunately, with another disappointing experience. Even when ordering, we felt practically rushed: The waiter stood right at the table, waiting impatiently for us to make our decision. Anyone who needed a moment was met with an annoyed look. Under these circumstances, I decided not to eat anything at all – such rude behavior takes away your appetite. We also noticed another unpleasant behavior: The pizza chef gave a friend from our group a suspicious look and gave her a thumbs-up – even though her partner was sitting directly across from her. We also found this inappropriate. Overall, the staff's behavior was disappointing. We no longer feel comfortable there and will certainly not be regular customers.

The food was delicious! The service wasn't that good. The main courses arrived while we were still eating our starters. When we tried to pay, we were ignored for a long time. The staff weren't very friendly either.

We had to sit inside first because it was still raining outside. It was very warm upstairs. We were allowed outside afterward and received two free drinks as compensation. Very nice service :)

From start to finish a great eating experience, great staff, exceptional pizza‘s and lovely atmosphere. 5 stars from us!

The salad was swimming in yogurt dressing. I think we should be careful!

Very nice terrace and delicious food; the pizza and gnocchi were exceptionally good. :)

Based on the good reviews and beautiful photos of the dishes, we booked a dinner on the evening of May 31st. The table assignment wasn't exactly friendly, but that was probably due to the restaurant being fully booked – we accepted it. We each ordered a pizza and a mixed salad. Unfortunately, we were more than disappointed with the quality. The pizza was rubbery and not crispy. Half of the salad was soaked in water. The garlic oil we ordered with it wasn't olive oil, but cooking oil with garlic powder. We observed the other people, who were all somewhat shocked by their food. For example, the risotto, which was spread out on a plate, was runny, or the spaghetti, which was served as a mush with short, broken pasta; it looked more like reheated leftovers. What we did notice was that many people simply left half of their food. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this restaurant. I know authentic Italian differently!

We've been to this Italian restaurant several times and can absolutely recommend it! The food is simply fantastic. The waiter is always in a good mood, super friendly, and very professional. You just feel at home.

Would come here again and again 👍

We had a very nice afternoon in Dinkeldbühl and a lovely end to our evening at Bruno's. The food was delicious. The service was also delicious. But when we finally paid, the young employee, perhaps the junior boss, simply kept €4 as a tip even though we had already given him €5! It was probably too little for him. Sorry, that's not okay.

I can highly recommend Brunos Restaurant! The food was simply excellent. The pasta in particular was cooked al dente and the sauces were incredibly flavorful. The pizza also looked delicious and smelled amazing. The service was attentive and friendly. The price-performance ratio is absolutely reasonable. You're happy to pay for the quality of the food and the attentive service. I will definitely come back and recommend Brunos to anyone who wants to enjoy authentic and delicious Italian cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere. A real insider tip!

Rarely have we received such delicious pizza so quickly. Pizzas can also be ordered without cheese. (for vegans)

Delicious pizza and good pasta. Friendly waiters and good service

Stylishly furnished restaurant, fast and friendly service, very good food and even waiters who put a smile on your face with unexpected humor. 🙂👍

A beautiful sun terrace offers a view of the old town. We ate very tasty pasta and pasta. The bruscetta is also recommended.

Very tasty food. All stars gladly given.

Very tasty pizza and friendly staff.

Thank you very much! A culinary experience! Highly recommended!

Rarely had a better pizza. Perfect service, super friendly. That's how gastronomy works, you're great.

We had reserved by phone, which wasn't a problem. When we arrived, our table was waiting for us, and the waiter brought the menus right away. The drinks came quickly, and the service was very attentive and cheerful, even including a few jokes. Overall, the atmosphere was relaxed. When a beer was forgotten, it was brought with a funny comment and not added to the bill. The pizzas we ordered arrived quickly and were very good. Nice, airy, and soft crust, just as you would expect and want from a Neapolitan pizza. In my opinion, the best pizza in the area. We'd love to come back and look forward to our next visit.

Today we went to Bruno's in Dinkelsbühl again. The food was excellent as always!!! The hospitality "Bella Italia" super service. And Arya was spoiled too. 🥰

I can really only give it 5 stars. Great service, very good wine and fantastic food. It's been a long time since I've been to such a good and exceptional Italian restaurant. Only recommended.

The place is very nice, the staff very kind, everything was tasty and well prepared.🤗🥰😍

It was so beautiful and delicious that we came back the next evening. Super nice team, friendly service, top food, good wines. We'd love to come back

Very friendly and attentive staff!

Pleasant atmosphere, great hosts (especially Marco), very good cuisine… It's fun to be a guest here. Recommended!

It was the best Vongole I’ve ever had in my life. And they were incredibly friendly.

The food tasted fantastic and the restaurant looks very good. A very pleasant atmosphere. I would particularly like to highlight the staff. The man who served us was a very humorous and personable man. I felt very welcome and would be happy to come back

Great pizza. The service is always in a good mood and we always come back

This was by far the best pizza in my life. In addition, the service is great. Rarely have I experienced that everything is just perfect. Thank you.

Super delicious food & great service! We will definitely come back!

The pizza was very tasty and the price was ok.

Very tasty and authentic dishes. Pizza with extras as good as in Italy. Seafood risotto with fresh ingredients and also very tasty. Would love to come back

Very tasty pizza! Very friendly and easy-going staff! Just again. A little tip: it's best to reserve a table in advance!

I was there for the first time, on New Year's Eve, and my expectations were really exceeded. A very good Italian, with excellent, down-to-earth and fresh cuisine. The restaurant was well filled, even with larger groups, and yet we didn't have to wait too long! No matter whether the pizzas (even gluten-free ones are available) or all the appetizers and antipasti plates - fresh, delicious and of the finest quality. The service team seems to be really well coordinated, and a, well, humorous waiter created a good atmosphere - always maintaining boundaries, a real feat (because maybe not every guest can handle that... we could!). The pasta plates, the vitello tonnato, and the calamari a la griglia or spaghetti and gamberi a la spada simply tasted great. Kudos to the 'Squadrona in Cucina', the kitchen team (who you can watch doing things through a transparent window front). We will definitely come back, even a good 50 minutes away, Dinkelsbühl and the 'Brunos' are always worth a trip...

A lovely evening with really authentic Italian cuisine, great service, child-friendly and a great price-performance ratio! The next time we are in Dinkelsbühl, we will definitely come back!

Had tagliatelle with salmon. Was very tasty.

Terrible service. Recommendation: go to the authentic Italian restaurant next door!

We ordered three pizzas and one pasta. Pizza dough was completely burnt on the edge and bottom of all pizzas. However, the topping and the dough inside were not baked properly. The pasta was put on the table without asking if you wanted parmesan with it. When asked if you could get parmesan, the answer was "I'll bring it straight away". Parmesan didn't come. We then complained about the pizza. The pizza dough would be like this for a Neapolitan pizza. We can't believe that. Finally the dough wasn't cooked through. Unfortunately we cannot recommend the restaurant.

Super nice service, food very tasty. Gladly again at any time!

Super delicious Neapolitan pizza!

The only positive thing about this restaurant is the pizza. This is really extremely tasty. But that was it. Very very bad service. The tables weren't cleared, the three waiters stood behind the bar and talked. We really had to wait forever for our food, even though the restaurant wasn't full and all the other guests had already had their food. Unfortunately I couldn't finish all of my spaghetti carbonara because there was far too much cheese in the sauce. One dish was completely forgotten, which the waiter noticed immediately, but was not mentioned at the table and we were simply left sitting. The dish came when the rest had finished eating. I have rarely had to experience such poor service. Very unfortunate. And now to be portrayed as a liar by you is the last straw. It wasn't full either upstairs or downstairs. There were exactly 3 people sitting upstairs. The service and long waiting times have often been criticized during the recessions. If the gratinated dish only arrives when everyone else at the table has finished eating, then this is a sign of poor coordination in the kitchen. I specially ordered the carbonara from you because I wanted to convince myself of your original Italian cuisine, I have never eaten one with cream and will not eat it either. What I got was a single cheese mush. But it's nice to read how poorly they deal with criticism instead of simply accepting it and improving it. Maybe the boss should work on the service himself, then you might have seen that all 3 waiters at the back of the bar were talking for ages instead of taking care of the guests and clearing away the empty plates...

Very nice restaurant. Were there for dinner. Very nice attentive service and very tasty pasta with seafood.

We visited Bruno's for the first time with a small group (8 people). The restaurant has a great ambience, great selection on the menu and the food is very, very tasty. It also went super fast. We had pizza, pasta and salad and were all very satisfied. The service was also great. We would all love to come back. Unfortunately no photos were taken...maybe next time

An excellent evening in this nice location! Great hosts who are very attentive and simply warm! You immediately feel welcome! We had 3 pasta dishes, all of which were great. The pizzas at the neighboring tables also looked delicious! We'll definitely be back!!!

Went for dinner on our wedding anniversary. Food drink service very very good and extremely friendly. Will be our new restaurant.

Went for our 28th wedding anniversary. Service great Great food and drink. But Lorenzo, who served us, he really makes the place. Only half as good without Lorenzo. Many thanks for the wonderful evening.

A nice place with wood-fired pizza. Pizza dough was airy, not crispy - you have to like it. Unfortunately, chili oil wasn't spicy at all. Waiters were very nice and accommodating, very quick service.

Super nice staff and really good food. To recommend.

Super delicious pizza from the stone oven Service top notch

Very cozy, service was great, we felt very comfortable 🤗

Very tasty pizza. Fluffy edge, first class products used. Extremely attentive service. Price/performance ratio fits. A bowl of water was automatically brought for our dog.

This afternoon we had a delicious lunch on the edge of the beautiful old town. What is particularly noteworthy is the friendly staff: despite the fact that the kitchen was about to close, the team took our orders. Their efforts and attention to detail in the preparation made the visit a real highlight. We'll definitely be back! By the way, gluten-free pizza is also available!

Great location (with terrace) in the beautiful old town - run by real Italians, which is becoming increasingly rare!! Everything tasted great: Ham + melon with pizza bread (which was super fluffy), pasta rolls with salsiccia and squid pasta with black sauce - both from the daily menu. Attention: The mixed salad is dressed with wine! The dessert was also delicious - fried pastries with vanilla ice cream and caramel cream. We'd love to come back if we're near there 🤩

We were here for the first time on Sunday. We were very surprised by the extremely good food and the very friendly service. We'll definitely be back.

The food was very, very 😋 delicious, we would love to come back. The pizza comes from the wood-fired oven and you can taste it...

The food is prepared by great Italian chefs. We enjoyed a lunch menu of lasagna, rigatoni, minestrone, and focaccia bread in our party. The service was outstanding and they all speak a variety of languages to accommodate their customers. Pasta is homemade. No room for dessert as we all ate everything.

OK. This was probably one of the best pizzas I've eaten so far. Surely it was the best seafood pizza ever. Not the usual mixed topping of frozen seafood, but pulpo and scampi, that's it. Really good. The dough and tomato sauce were also great. Not run-of-the-mill cheap cheese, but delicious mozzarella and nothing else. Service friendly and in a good mood. That's right!

One of the two pizzas was too doughy and rather tasteless. But service and ambience were great

Just wow! Absolutely mind-blowing food!

Beautiful atmosphere in the middle of the old town and the best Italian food you can get in the area in my opinion. The menu stands out from the competition without missing the classics. The Parmigiana made from grandma’s recipe is highly recommended.

The portion of pasta is definitely too small, my husband and I didn't get enough, it's normal if we eat too much, and pasta only costs a few cents🤷‍♀️, what a shame! otherwise tasty, staff friendly

Great place. Amazing Italian food, big portions, reasonable price. It top of that all is super friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Totally pleasant restaurant with very tasty food and really friendly waiters!

Very friendly reception. Interesting menu that differs from the competition. Prices for the location are completely acceptable. The food comes quickly and in the right order. The taste was very good. Simply original Italian friendliness. We'd love to come back.

Very, very tasty food, impeccable service! Only recommended 😊

Very tasty food and particularly friendly staff. We felt very comfortable and will come back.

Great old town location, very friendly and quick staff. Plus the fantastic pizza from the real stone oven! And if you want, you can watch it being prepared (through a pane of glass). Great class! We'll definitely be back!

We were welcomed so incredibly warmly, simply warmly. The pizza was also very tasty and had plenty of toppings. The prices are very fair and the staff is incredibly nice. We'd love to come back.

Everything was great, especially nice staff, the best Italian in Dinkelsbühl

Really a very pleasant restaurant, super friendly staff. The food was also very tasty. Highly recommended restaurant!

I am French and the thigh is excellent I had a good vrm pizza and the service is very friendly beautiful vrm view I recommend

The pizza was absolutely amazing! Rarely have I had such a good pizza, from dough to toppings it was great. The conditions were also very friendly and attentive 👍🏼 would be happy to come back at any time 🤘🏼🍻

Very tasty Italian food Courteous and friendly service Everything is very clean and nice here We would be happy to come back here

We went for lunch as a small group. The service was very friendly and everyone's food was delicious.

The food is very good! It's also served quickly. We are always very satisfied.

Bruno's family business. I stayed at Bruno's a little longer because I really appreciate cosiness. I ate a seafood pizza, a pizza that I often enjoy. In addition to the strikingly delicious tomato sauce, the seafood looked so fresh that I felt sorry for the squid. The service at Brunos is courteous, efficient and effective. I was made aware of my wishes through recommendations and no empty dishes bothered me while I was still sitting at the laptop. I liked the atmosphere. Pleasant British soul classics were played. The Italian hosts exude a family atmosphere and are authentic. Laughing together is also possible. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at Brunos. I felt welcome and was able to meet the family behind Brunos. Very happy people, with a passion for good food. For my part, I'm still struggling with the idea of ​​giving up meat and fish. Bruno's only helps me to a limited extent.

Went to Bruno's 3 times from June 9, 2024 to June 15, 2024 and it was simply fantastic; You can't compare the food, there's nothing better and everyone else can hide with a latte macchiato - if you're in Dinkelsbühl, you should stop by there once (or several times) - 5 stars!

Very cozy restaurant. The food was super tasty. The prices are reasonable for the town. If we're nearby, we'd love to come back.

We had pizza today, it was very tasty and very good and I also liked the crust. The service was super friendly and quick.

Very friendly, very tasty food Thanks

We ate here in a large group, excellent service, the food came very quickly. Top pizzas and pasta. Great value for money.

Food good, but not enough umbrellas on the terrace. Tables not wiped down. Staff wasn't that friendly

Very good food, always a pleasure.
