Café Ristorante Da Capo in Lindau (Bodensee)

Unfortunately, the staff was particularly unfriendly: - Particularly unfriendly at the ice cream counter - Even the waiters were irritated with the guests in Italian, not assuming that many people speak Italian... Unpleasant experience

We visited dacapo Lindau for the first time today. The atmosphere is very nice and the service very friendly. We really enjoyed the pizza tonno, as well as the delicious ice cream that followed. We'd love to come back. Claudia (birthday) and Detlef.

No, no, no. The rudest service, hair in the food, wrong bill, wrong order and being told to leave while we were still eating - very low level of service.

The worst pizzeria I've ever been to. We ate spaghetti - it was children's portions. We weren't full. The service was subpar, you get the feeling that you are just a nuisance as a guest and that it is best to leave quickly. The worst thing was the toilets. Women's toilets on the 1st floor were closed, women should please go to the basement. There were two toilets there - one was completely dirty and the other was almost impossible to get into because the door was almost out of the frame. While washing my hands I discovered this fat cockroach 🪳. We complained to the bar and showed the photo, but there was no response.

Italian restaurant run by Italians; the pizzas are very good.

Simply great 🫶👍😃🌞😋 We went on a detour to Lindau. We haven't had one like this in a long time Ate delicious pizza 🍕. The service and the ambience were top notch.

We settled into here out of many options around, they were very kind and the food was fine. The salad was acceptable, the pizza was not good, the chicken was good. Nothing here blew us away. The ice creme stand attached to this place was truly the hit for many people and they enjoyed their sweets. I would think about seeing about other options for a sit down meal tho if you wanted too. Enjoy~

5 stars Simply great! Even though there was a lot going on, everything went really quickly - we barely waited and were already sitting at the table. The food was a dream, typically Italian and made with love. The team was friendly and attentive, you immediately felt at home. Da Capo is definitely worth recommending – I’ll be back!

Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience at this place. The service is terrible. We weren't greeted to choose a table, we had to go after a waitress several times. They didn't offer us a menu, we had to get what was outside on our own. Some people who arrived after us were served first. The door to the women's bathroom is broken and a lady came in without noticing that I was there, I was embarrassed. Unfortunately, I don't recommend the place and I wouldn't go back, especially if you're hungry and have a child with you (which was my case).

Caprese salad without fresh basil. Pasta vecchia with sauce. canned tomato with cream. No bread like on the next table Drink served in the middle of the meal. Unfriendly and abrupt service.

Mediocre cuisine, but what is not possible is a ready-made salad dressing from a bottle, and that from an Italian restaurant!!!

Food was very tasty, service was great In particular, the red-tailed waiter recommended good pizza to us, which was really very good. Good atmosphere and fine ambience. us very friendly

We felt completely comfortable here. The food came quickly and was super tasty. Our service was also very friendly. We visit Lake Constance every year and really enjoy going to this restaurant. We have never had any negative experiences here.

The service staff is quite unfriendly and rather unmotivated. According to the QR code on the map and the internet, there is plenty of food for those who are “bigger” between 2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. However, the waiter informed us that the kitchen was closed. We won't find out whether that's really the case or the waiter just didn't feel like it.

long waiting times and very annoyed and unfriendly service!! Not recommended!!

Unfortunately we only had mediocre food there. My wife had finished hers when my penne was brought. Staff disorganized and rude. Toilets dirty and doors not lockable. Never eat there again!

Average food, nothing extraordinary. The pizza was not as expected but the Gnocchi was good. We entered in the restaurant to eat risotto after reading the menu that was displayed outside but upon arrival they gave us a different menu.

Cozy place, friendly and smiling staff. Whoever welcomed us also spoke Italian. We had 4 first courses, all excellent, plentiful and well made. Advised!

Really very nice service that caters to every wish! If we weren't just here on vacation we would come more often. One of the best restaurants I've ever been to so far!

After waiting 15 minutes for the menu and another 20 minutes for someone to take the order, we left. In the meantime we waved a waitress over to us, but she just shook her head because she didn't seem to be responsible for our table. Sorry, but that doesn't work at all.

I have known Ca Capo for a long time and it is always a very nice experience for me to be a guest. Pizza is very tasty, antipasti and meat dishes are also very good. Antonio and his team do it really well and authentically. Tiramisu is always fresh and nice and fluffy.

It was ok but again unfortunately not. Unfortunately the dining room was very dirty and had cobwebs everywhere. I first have to clean the children's chair that I got. The pasta portion for the child was way too big even though I said so and they were swimming in oil. In the end the child didn't eat anything. The pizza we had was ok, the shandy wasn't really mixed. It's really a shame

Terrace was well occupied, but not full. Very unmotivated service, food was okay, but far from good. Pizza boring, pasta tasteless and unfortunately "done", not al dente. There is much better on Lindau Island, which is a shame because the location would be really great and deserved better

It's a shame you can't give a 0 star rating! Absolutely terrible! We had a fly in the food, the staff was unfriendly and seemed annoyed. When we paid, however, the crowning moment came... We didn't want to leave a tip because of the poor staff and food, but they didn't let us make this decision because they simply didn't give us our change. The waiter ran away with the words "We're out of change, have a nice day, goodbye." When we went to another waitress and described the situation to her, we were only shouted at. Then the boss came over, who also just shouted. Just don't go there!

The service is a total disaster.

As a long-time regular, I would like to praise the pizzeria's always excellent cuisine

Absolutely recommended. Very nice service, delivered very quickly and really excellent food. Gladly again.

We had a wonderful evening at Da Capo. The starters in particular (including Vitello Tonnato) were excellent, and the pizzas and pasta dishes were also great. I had the grilled pulpo - highly recommended! The service was also very attentive! We would love to come back!

Simply 😋 delicious...Go once, you won't regret it...👍

Unfriendly service. We had to wait 20 minutes until we could finally place our order. The food was medium good.

We go there often to eat. The service is friendly and the food is delicious, especially the pizzas.

Food very tasty. Staff very nice. I can only recommend it.

Great wine list, friendly service, pizza as it should be! Dolce Vita in Lindau.

Great food, great wine and a friendly atmosphere. Always happy again! Thanks to the whole Da Capo team!

Very good food. Nice staff, good service. We'd love to come back.

Everything was great, nice service, very good food.

Waffles were bought instead of homemade and completely covered in sugary pieces

The Pizzeria Da Capo on Lindau Island offers delicious pizzas and a relaxed atmosphere. Friendly service and fair prices – absolutely recommended!

Grazie per tutti! Delicious pizza with fresh ingredients, courteous service and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Great atmosphere, good food, and friendly staff. Everything was just perfect, thank you.

When the waiter noticed that I didn't want to eat and would treat myself to spaghetti ice cream, he became unpleasant and arrogant. The same applies to spaghetti ice cream with poor quality at a price of €12.80. A very unpleasant experience for me.

Super great food, attentive hosts and a bottle of limoncello on the table. That was awesome 🤩

Pizzeria Da Capo is simply fantastic! From the warm atmosphere to the attentive service to the incredibly delicious food – everything is just right here. The pizza is authentically Italian, with a thin, crispy base and fresh ingredients. But the pasta and meat dishes are also an absolute delight! I was particularly impressed by the quality of the food and the attention to detail. You can tell that people cook with passion here. There is also a great selection of wines that round off the meal perfectly. If you want to eat Italian in Lindau, you definitely shouldn't miss Da Capo!

Very good service - friendly staff and excellent food👍🚀

Highly recommended. Simply delicious 😋 😋 😋

The waitress came to the table and we wanted an iced coffee and a milk coffee, but apparently neither was available. I listen at the table next door as the waitress brings out an iced coffee and milk coffee... what's that supposed to mean???

Great mixed café...everyone welcome

We were there with a larger group. Top service and the ravioli with truffles were a dream – absolutely recommended! Thank you... We'll definitely be back in the summer.

The waiter was totally unfriendly, just put the cards on the table without saying hello or anything. I asked if there was béchamel sauce in the lasagna and the only answer I got was “yeah sure, what else?” So I ordered a lasagne and what was not in it was bechamel sauce. It was lasagna noodles with tomato sauce and after each layer of noodles there was cheese. This turned the whole thing into one big lump of cheese. I sent the food back and didn't have to pay for it.

Gnocchi were okay (very soft, little sauce) but they added more on request. Lasagna (despite asking extra before ordering) without bechamel and very little meat. Waiter was an absolute disaster. No hello, no eye contact, when we ask you a question - speak German! ....We ended up leaving the restaurant in a bad mood :( Extremely bad service with food that is okay -> we cannot recommend it. Soda lemon 0.4= soda with a slice of lemon for €4.20😅

Hot food is not served between 2 - 5 p.m

Very tasty bruschetta and fresh tagliatelle. Nice service and the ambience is good too. Definitely recommended!

We are a group of Italians traveling and we can say that the food respects our tradition and the flavors are very good. The service is quality as they were fast and kind.

The service was semi-friendly and a bit hectic. The restaurant was quite full and probably too few staff, so we understand it. Unfortunately, the food was only average. The pizza might be better. For the price of salad we expected a little more. Ravioli were still a little too hard and not that special but not bad.

Very busy and very busy. We didn't feel comfortable.

Unfortunately we were not satisfied with our visit to this restaurant. On the one hand, we had to wait a good 20 minutes for our first order, even though the restaurant wasn't even half full. Then the waitress couldn't differentiate between the starter and the main course. The “pasta carbonara” we ordered was cold, so they went back. The second delivery of “pasta carbonara”, i.e. the warmed up food, suddenly looked completely different. Dark sauce and parmesan cheese on top and again only lukewarm. We had to send the food back. The dough on the pizza we ordered was not crispy but wobbly. It cannot be said that quality and good food is prepared in this restaurant. 2 out of 4 guests in our group had stomach pains after visiting the restaurant. The staff, i.e. our waitress, didn't do more than just do their job. Fun at work and the “Italian joy of life” were completely missing here. After our visit to the restaurant, we regretted not going somewhere else.

Food quite passable, service OK. What's not possible is the mess in the toilets, which urgently needs to be looked at more when there are crowds of visitors.

well, rather below average, the food is not convincing, the ambience is actually quite stylish. But if the food isn't right, even the nice furnishings won't help.

The food is average but the Service is terrible they are disrespectful with people. - Waiters “roll their eyes” to you when you are ordering - Other waiter pushed my mom to make her move, instead saying excuse me. - Other guy working at the bar started to shout my parents when they were closing their jackets to go out, they are senior adults and take some time, I think they should show some respect. - The manager talks to you like he is making you a favor to go inside their restaurant quite self paid and bitchy. - The timings are wrongly updated in google they close earlier than is said. There are many other places with great service and kind people in Lindau don’t go here.

Very good food, good service, ambience needs improvement!

Absolutely unfriendly service!!!! Pizzas were ok. It's a shame that the service couldn't keep up with the quality of the cuisine! In addition, the actual pizzaria area was closed at lunchtime, so we had to eat in the cafe. It was very cold and uncomfortable there!

they didn't charge me for almost 10 minutes, also there is a lot of disorganization. the payment machines didn't work well. we asked to pay at 4.58pm and were only able to leave at 5.30pm due to the problem with their machines.

I am a frequent guest at any time of the year and am always satisfied...kitchen and service very good...price performance is right, in summer when there is a lot of activity there are sometimes waiting times, but the service remains friendly and attentive.

Weekends It's always very busy, but you can get a seat and be served. Food is very good.

The worst salad Cabresse consisting of half a tomato, about 5 thin slices, 5 slices of mozzarella including some rocket and 5 slices of baguette about 2 cm in diameter that I have ever had, neither oil nor balsamic vinegar. Afterwards a Pizza Diavolo which was topped with mild pickled peppers and the hot sausage was only spicy in name, so all in all a failure. The whole thing + 2 wheat for €36 is simply beyond words.

Worst restaurant I've ever been to Sooooo unfriendly... nothing more is possible I wouldn't even suggest that to my enemy We were 11 people. .a chair was missing The waiter almost threw the chair at us, just brutally

The service is terrible. The waiters are very rude. We didn’t even get utensils for the pizza. We left disappointed.

Very good food, but unfortunately the service leaves a lot to be desired. The staff seems completely disinterested and feignedly friendly

Unfriendly service, nothing gluten-free, loud background noise

We went there twice and had pizza, pasta and salad. We enjoyed it very much both times. Unfortunately we are only here for vacation, otherwise we would love to come many more times. Another little tip. It's even more comfortable on the first floor and you can watch the pizza being prepared.

Food wasn't bad, but unfortunately not freshly cooked. You could taste that too. We had pasta. Ambiance was good.

Excellent place for family gathering

The worst experience ever. Super unfriendly staff. They have no idea how to work in the restaurant industry.

If you are Italian, you prefer the typical local taverns. I would like to give you a few more stars but I really can't, I want to reward the service, at least they tried to smile, but as regards the quality we are not there.

Just bad. I ordered two pizzas to take away. When I arrived on time, three bored employees were waiting for me, each of them glued to their private cell phones. Afterwards I realized that the pizzas were only lukewarm. Furthermore, the size was about 20% smaller compared to a local pizza. As if that wasn't all, I wanted to pay with a voucher. Two employees then discussed with each other in Italian, although no one seemed to have any idea how to book a voucher. After about 10 minutes of discussion, I was informed that payment with a voucher was not possible because the cashier machine could not do this. I pointed out that there was no such restriction anywhere on the voucher. However, the employees didn't want to know anything about it and stuck to their statement. When the pizzas were already cold, my only option was to pay on site (without a voucher). With only average quality of pizzas and terrible service, I will never visit this shop again. I can only advise against ordering anything here.

Unbelievably rude and poor service, and reacted angrily to no tip. Avoid at all costs.

Would like to have a cappuccino with your coffee. The restaurant was hardly occupied and there were a few free tables at the windows. Asked the waitress if we could sit here. The answer was “no, only larger groups are allowed to sit at the table of four here.” But if you ABSOLUTELY want to, you can just sit down. I went again with my husband. Will not visit this restaurant again.

As Lindau residents, we really enjoy going to our Italian restaurant on a regular basis. The food is very tasty and always beautifully prepared. Service is good and the ambience has a special charm.

Spacious restaurant in the middle of the island. Unfortunately the coffee didn't taste that good. The cakes were OK.

I asked if they had any oat or any other milk alternative. She nearly looked personally offended and then replied: “No! Only normal milk!” 😆 No word of regret or apology. I ordered a black coffee 🤷‍♀️ There wasn’t a SINGLE one the hundreds of ice cream sundaes or cakes I could eat either, as none of them was without dairy or eggs. When I tipped her (was there with my family and kids, all eating sundaes), she didn’t even say thank you. Wow. Not sure what’s wrong with service in Lindau, but there still is a long way to go. It’s still like in 20, 30 years ago. There’s this German saying: Wer nicht mit der Zeit geht, geht.”

We only had a cappuccino there, which was good. However, the table next door advised us not to have dessert and they were very disappointed. You can notice a tense mood among the staff. The guests are chased from table to table and even the regulars were insulted. A total no-go! A very unpleasant atmosphere.

I reserved a table on October 13th, called again on Saturday (October 26th) and asked if we could set the table a day earlier. They said it wasn't a problem. Arrived yesterday and was told in a very unfriendly manner by the waiter that we should come up if we have a reservation. We stood at the top for 5 minutes and waited until we were sent down. There the unfriendly waiter (with a bun) then told us to sit down, but there were reserved signs at all the tables that fit 3 people (where we didn't sit down, of course!). The waiter then complained to us that they were reserved for exactly such cases (which we can't smell). Well, at some point the waiter took our order, but simply ignored my step-grandma (so that I said the order). I think it's pretty cheeky. Then came the food, the carbonara was delicious, but there was far too much pepper in it and the pasta was cold. I would have liked to complain about that, but the waiter didn't come to ask if everything was okay (that happened when we finished eating). We wanted dessert, so we had to wait 15 minutes until the order was taken (which only happened because we asked). I definitely would have imagined and wished my birthday meal to be different!

Despite the restaurant’s ambiance and menu, I left feeling disrespected and unwelcome. It’s disheartening to see such behavior in a public space. I hope the management addresses these issues to foster a more inclusive environment for all guests. I would not recommend this restaurant until they take steps to educate their staff about diversity and respect.

Food came quickly and was still very hot

Nicely decorated restaurant. We were greeted friendly. The dining room was very warm, which may have been due to the pizza oven. The pizza is freshly baked in a stone oven and was very tasty. The price was ok, although a bit high.

It's been a few weeks since we visited this restaurant and I'm still thinking about the horror that awaited us there and that has to be saying something. To end our trip to Lindau, we unfortunately took a seat outside in this pizzeria. Have you ever seen service staff almost hitting each other's heads, arguing publicly in front of the guests and attacking your guests as if they were scum? Then you have come to the right place!!!! I would even donate a poster to put up that says “Please don’t eat here.” Thanks, but this was the last time we were there, please go somewhere else.

Very bad service, average food, we had to wait 40 minutes until someone noticed us, waiter not friendly

Since the weather wasn't kind to us in Lindau, we spontaneously went to this café. Many others had the idea too. We were lucky that we got a table in the already well-filled restaurant. Due to the crowd it was correspondingly loud. Our waiter was quick and very friendly despite being stressful. Here I had the best tiramisu I have ever eaten. Please make your own impression. We thought it was great...

I can only say if someone reads the reviews BEFORE ordering (which unfortunately we didn't)... PLEASE go to ANOTHER RESTAURANT!!!! One star is too many - service is underground - unfriendly, annoyed, arrogant, cheeky!!! Tourist rip-off!!! This restaurant can only survive because it is in Lindau and on the pedestrian zone!! Otherwise no one would eat here anymore - I'm 100% sure of that!! How the guest is spoken to and how the service (this word actually sounds too positive) is carried out - I can't find words for it. Unfortunately, it's not worth the effort to write down everything in detail here that happened to us and the other guests / how they were treated, because, as written above, the location takes care of guests. Unfortunately, we didn't follow our first instinct after sitting down and unfortunately we didn't leave and regret it. We would never eat here again. The pizzas were just OK.

Service was disgusting. Pizza was OK, but we waited for it 20 minutes and when they bring it was slightly warm. We ordered 2 pizzas for 3 persons but receive only 2 plates, when asked for third, the waiter rolled his eyes. I ALSO FOUND A SMALL HAIR INSIDE OF MY PIZZA BORDER. After all, we wanted to pay with card and waiter asked 2 times about tips, we said no and he slammed the terminal on table to show he is unhappy. Never again, don’t understand who is still visiting this place

The ice cream parlor is ideally located, right near two of the island's most beautiful buildings. Our service was attentive, the toilets were clean and our apple strudel with ice cream and cream was okay.

I would like to warn about the tiramisu! To put it mildly, it didn't do me any good at all!!!!

When looking for a restaurant in Lindau, we chose this one because the atmosphere looked very inviting. And what can I say... it was the right choice. 👍 Starter, main course and dessert were simply delicious. 👌 The wine recommendation was also perfect! A big thank you to our Italian waiter! Really very friendly and impeccable service. Thanks!

Great food! Unfortunately I have to agree with the other comments - the waiters are extremely stressed and not particularly friendly.

Very nice place to drink and eat. The waiter (Enzo), very nice and helpful. Five Stars.

The restaurant and the associated ice cream shops are a real tip in Lindau. The dishes are all recommended and also have a great price/performance ratio. I had the best calzone pizza in a long time. The staff is particularly praiseworthy here. Who is always extremely friendly on long days and makes EVERYTHING possible. Highlighted his D’Artagnan, the one with the pigtail/long hair. While the boss is courting the regulars with kisses left and right, he is doing the right work and is not above fulfilling every wish. Such employees are simply indispensable and make it a gastronomic experience.

Disgusting service. The staff is very rude

The cafe is in the very heart of Lindau, and the service is disgusting((((The waiter wiped the table with my own napkin!!! I don’t recommend it!!

Ok food but terrible service. Were ignored and had to wait 25 minutes to be able to order something to eat. Our pancakes were forgotten and so that we could even order dessert we had to ask a waiter 10 times who always said: “another waiter will be coming soon” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'm disappointed!!!😭😭😭😭 9€ for pancakes with Nutella and ice cream And an hour waiting time😫😫 🍗🐔

We went to the dacapo ice cream parlour in Lindau. We wanted to eat a good pizza, as it had been recommended as the best on the island, but when we arrived (there were four of us) a waiter with a ponytail, in such a rude manner, invited us to get up and sent us to eat in the restaurant next door. We asked if we could eat there, but the angry waiter told us that it was only an ice cream parlour and that we had to go to the terrace of the restaurant next door to eat pizza, even though it was full. At that point we got up and left the restaurant. I would not recommend it because of the waiter's dislike
