Café Ristorante Da Capo in Lindau (Bodensee)

Pizza was good service too but I ordered a water and got 5 glasses in the end it was 15,90€ for pizza 4 cheese and 1l water which I got in 5 glasses 25€

We've been going to Ristorante Café Da Capo for years and have never been disappointed. The wood-fired pizza and spaghetti frutti di mare were excellent again. The espresso and tiramisu rounded off the evening. The staff is very friendly. We highly recommend it and will be back soon.

We are very disappointed 😞 The food was very good, but the service is terrible. They wander around aimlessly with food and drinks 🫣. After asking several times, I was able to pay, even though there were several tables. They also included a three-euro tip for good measure 😡 I didn't actually get the bill I asked for, even though I asked several times. The waiter kept cursing in Italian. When I got fed up, we left.

Completely satisfied. The food was excellent and the service attentive and friendly. The pizza bread was the best I've ever eaten. We'll be back!

Excellent restaurant with truly friendly and helpful waiters... highly recommended. The pizza with mortadella and burrata is outstanding.

We waited a long time to be served. It seemed like the rude waiter was doing it on purpose. The meal was satisfactory, but when it came to paying, the wait was the same, and to top it all off, he charged us more than expected, just as he had tried to do 15 minutes earlier at another table. After paying by credit card and then demanding what was due, he apologized, ashamed, and refunded me in cash. The waiter wasn't very honest.

The ice cream was truly delicious and beautifully presented. I've rarely had such good ice cream. The portions were more than adequate. The service was fast and attentive.

We had to wait a long time to take our order and then to be served. In the end, the waiter didn't like it when I wanted to pay with a card, and then he also got angry when he didn't get a tip after all that. The food itself was delicious

Disastrous experience – Never again! Our visit to this restaurant was a complete disappointment. The atmosphere was terrible, the food abysmal, and the service was absolutely disgraceful. The problems started right when we ordered: The waiters spoke only Italian and refused to serve us in German. They constantly whispered in Italian and gave us meaningful looks. Our drinks were forgotten, and my pizza only arrived after an unreasonably long wait. The waiters were unfriendly, inattentive, and seemed more concerned with their private conversations than with the customers. This restaurant is a disgrace and absolutely not recommended.

Very average! If you don't have too many demands, it's reasonable. But that's where it really ends.

Centrally located in the city center. We only ordered a snack for the kids – the pasta was okay, but definitely nothing special. The service was quite unfriendly; there was no Parmesan cheese with the pasta, and the staff insisted on tips. Prices were high, typical for Lindau. We had to ask for payment three times and then wait what felt like an eternity.

We waited 25 minutes for the wrong bruschetta... more than 30 minutes for the main course... the service was bad and not friendly at all... 1 star is too many!!!!!!!!!

We were getting to know the city, we wanted to go because of the good reviews, but it's 9:30 p.m. and they refuse us service and on the website it says they close at 11 p.m. Also, in a rude manner.

Waited at this sign for 15 min. Nobody gave a … so left. Poor service

The food was delicious 😋, some of the waiters were very friendly and polite, ordering food took a while, but ordering drinks was very quick. Except for one evening when something went wrong, but I didn't mind. Everything else was very, very friendly. I would go back anytime.

I didn't take many photos because I was too hungry, but the first fish dish I had was truly delicious. The flavors were well-balanced, expertly blended, with no one overpowering the other. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this experience!

Ice cream break during a visit to Lindau. Industrial ice cream, not exceptional (€5.90 for 2 scoops), very mediocre service... in short, avoid!

Extremely unfriendly staff! Sorry we were there! Never again!

The Bianco Tartufo pizza is delicious. The service is friendly and everything is very quick. The ambiance is harmonious.

The customer service was impeccable and very patient with our table, where almost no one else could answer their questions about their drinks or food. I apologize to the poor waitress. The place was very nice, but there was no ventilation, not even a fan, and it was quite hot inside. As for the food: modest portions for the price, compared to other pizzerias like L'Osteria. Good quality and fairly average flavor. I tried the four-cheese pizza, and it left a little to be desired, but it was good.

Nothing extraordinary in terms of food. Disappointed by the service. No table cleaning after other customers.

I didn't have a good experience. I ordered the tiramisu cup. Warning: It has nothing to do with tiramisu and is massively overpriced at €15.90 for 3 scoops of ice cream, 3 ladyfingers, and a shot of alcohol. It all started with the order. The menu says: "Let yourself be surprised + with eggnog & amaretto." When ordering, I told the waiter that if the cup contains vanilla ice cream, please order it with hazelnut ice cream, and instead of eggnog and amaretto, I only ordered eggnog. The waiter was slightly annoyed by me and said, "I'll make you a good offer. Tell me which flavors of ice cream you'd like, and we'll make you the cup that way." I then told him chocolate, hazelnut ice cream, and stracciatella ice cream, including just eggnog. I ate the whole thing because I didn't think anything of it. In the end, I asked my mom what was justified about the price, since an eggnog cup only cost €12. We approached the waiter and asked him what was special about the tiramisu cup, since it already stood out from the other cups in terms of price. He said he didn't set the prices and became rude. He didn't even want the 30-cent tip in the end. PS: It only included amaretto, and in terms of quantity and presentation, it looked the same as a chocolate cup for almost €10.

According to the sign, ice cream to go is only available for cash, which was very convenient for me, as I was traveling with young people for work and my employer had only given me cash. When I asked for a receipt, I was told they wouldn't give one, only if you paid by card. I replied that a receipt was mandatory if you asked for one. The waitress at the counter reacted very snippy and rudely and refused to give me one. For better or for worse, I had to pay privately with my personal card and now have to settle this with my employer. I'm wondering if, and if so, how much is being collected outside of tax, and what the tax office will say about it. The ice cream was rather mediocre and I really can't recommend it. I'm used to much better ice cream parlors. If I ever come back to Lindau, I won't visit this ice cream parlor a second time.

The pizza was very good, one of the best I've ever had. Unfortunately, the waiter was a bit of a handful; he was absent-minded, didn't speak much English, and, even more surprisingly, he struggled with German. Apart from the service, everything else was great, which is why the rating is an average 3.

Been here twice and I'm pretty sure I ordered the same thing mostly because i try out lasagne for the fun of it😊. But this place I can highly recommend. Friendly staff and excellent service. I also enjoyed the meal and would still choose the place if I'm ever to dine on the Island again.

Rude, if you take up the table and there are not 4 of you they won't let you sit!

Very good Italian food and nice waiters.

We sat comfortably on the terrace and enjoyed a cocktail and some delicious toasts. We had a great time.

It's good. Thank you for the gluten-free pasta

Lovely Italian restaurant and delicious food. Recommend it 9/10.

The pizza wasn't good, with a soft, flavorless crust. The salad was poorly prepared with an oily, acidic dressing. I waited forever to pay... never again!

Very friendly and quick service. The ice cream was delicious, as was the latte macchiato. Unfortunately, we only had a short time there.

Just excellent!! Very warm and friendly.

Extremely polite and attentive service...food was more than delicious...you should definitely go here if you are ever in Lindau

I've been there several times in the last few years. The seating is relatively pleasant, but the service and, above all, the value for money have deteriorated significantly. A mini salad at an Italian restaurant at a high price simply means you can dress it yourself. Instead, it was already dressed with a cheap, store-bought sauce. This Italian restaurant used to also serve oil with its pizza. It's probably become too expensive now. Never again...

One of the best pizzas I've eaten in a long time!!!

Super delicious food! Friendly staff, great selection! Very good prices

Ice cream was delicious but as usual not very cheap

Not recommended for breakfast. We waited 55 minutes until everyone finally got their breakfast, even though the restaurant was almost empty when we arrived. The omelets were extremely greasy, and the avocado toast was okay, but also somewhat disappointing.

Deducted by €10!! Insects are crawling around in the salad!

We went there for ice cream. When we looked at the menu, we were shocked by the prices, but didn't think much of it. I found it pretty harsh that I only got two scoops with a little whipped cream for almost €15. The real blow came when I was paying, however, when the waiter got completely offended when my girlfriend didn't leave a tip.

The pizza and salad were very good!! Friendly service. Highly recommended 👌

1 star – Never again! What a disappointing experience. When we arrived, we said we’d like to have something to eat. We were told that food could only be served outside – even though the indoor area was empty and the weather was terrible. So much for hospitality. The waiter who took our order seemed extremely stressed. Before he even approached us, he first went around adjusting chairs at other tables — as if that was more important than acknowledging us. When we finally got to order, we had to give our drink order first. Not a big deal in itself, but his annoyed sighs in response to our polite requests were completely inappropriate. Then our food came before the drinks – that pretty much says it all. Two drinks were completely forgotten, and only after asking twice did we get them — just as we were finishing our meals. Pointless. The overall atmosphere? Rushed and unfriendly, even though only the terrace was open and it wasn’t even busy. There was no sense of care or customer service at all. To top it all off: when paying, the waiter asked if we wanted to leave a tip. When we politely said no, he reacted angrily — totally unprofessional. In short: poor service, rude staff, and a complete lack of hospitality. Once is more than enough.

Lovely food. Great location. Nice staff.

Delicious food, and on summer evenings in Lindau's pedestrian zone, you feel like you're in Italy, wonderful. The waiters are authentic, all Italian, a huge plus, adding even more Italian flair.

Very bad service, table was constantly mixed up, we were brought wrong drinks, wrong food and the bill was wrong

Bad service, unfriendly staff, not recommended!

Catastrophic service (unfriendly, swapping food, swapping drinks), unfriendly staff and every attempt to rip off customers with the price, the only minimal plus point: the food tastes okay

It used to be better... we waited almost 25 minutes to get the menu. But the pizza was delicious!

Excellent pasta and meat dishes, and the cheese fondue is excellent. The downside was the wait to be served because they forgot about us 😁 Otherwise, the welcome was very pleasant, and to compensate us, they offered us free drinks.

Our experience on June 28th – unfortunately disappointing We visited the restaurant with my mother on June 28th. Since the restaurant wasn't very busy at the time, we sat down at a free table for four. Shortly afterward, an employee approached us and asked us to move to a table for two. When we politely pointed out that there were still plenty of free seats and we would like to stay there, the conversation was ended without further explanation. The employee said goodbye with "Have a nice evening" and left – he didn't serve us. Our visit was unfortunately disappointing overall. We would have preferred a more respectful and hospitable atmosphere.

Lovely restaurant, friendly staff and very good Italian food. The restaurant is in a lovely location on the main street in Lindau Island. Our waiter was from Italy and was very helpful and friendly. We had fresh pasta main courses, all of which were excellent. We will definitely return there again on our next visit to Lindau.

We ended up at this restaurant rather spontaneously, as our first choice was already closed – unfortunately, a mistake. The food was bland, dry, and seemed carelessly prepared. Salt and pepper would have helped a lot. The service was also disappointing: A second order never arrived, the bill took a long time to arrive, and at the end, we were reminded quite bluntly about the tip – despite the service being very good. For that money, I would have been better off shopping at the market and cooking myself – it would have been tastier and more worthwhile. All in all, the visit was simply disappointing. I was honestly glad when we could leave. Once and never again.

Each person received three scoops of ice cream at €2.80 per scoop. Half of the ice cream was liquid when it was brought to the table. The waitress's response: It's very warm today.

Great place to meet with friends and share great food and drink and have fun

Very friendly staff and a beautiful, cozy interior atmosphere. We were delighted by the wide selection of vegetable and seafood dishes! Despite the restaurant being busy, the wait time for our order was absolutely reasonable. We loved everything!

Not really. It takes too long. Service isn't that interesting. First, we waited half an hour to order, then waited for drinks, and finally the food arrived.

I ate the best noodles ever here, really delicious 😍

Unfortunately, the service is very poor. Everything takes a long time, orders are forgotten or arrive incorrectly. We've been here several times in recent years, but unfortunately, the situation isn't improving.

We waited a long time for the food, the drinks came after the meal. The food was served cold, we asked for oil but it never arrived. The service was terrible.

We placed a pickup order over the phone. Less than half an hour later, we were standing at the door—having driven in all the way from the lake—only to be told, quite dryly, "The kitchen's already closed." No information, no call, no "Sorry." Instead, just a shrug. What kind of service is that? Anyone who takes orders should also make sure they're prepared. That wasn't just disappointing—it was simply a disgrace. That's how you drive away customers. Never again.

My breakfast came after my girlfriend had already finished eating. The bread was delicious, but the avocado was black, tasted awful, and had tiny bits. The tomato was old.

Unfriendly, rude, and completely overpriced – never again! We went there as a family of five for lunch – and were treated unfriendly from the very first moment. But it didn't stop at a lack of a smile or a polite word: Over the course of our visit, we were repeatedly confronted with rude, cheeky replies and rude comments from the staff. Such behavior is absolutely unacceptable, especially when dealing with families and paying guests. You felt like you were being a nuisance and unwelcome – and that continued throughout your entire stay. The food tasted okay, but the portions were extremely small. Considering the high prices, the value for money is a complete disappointment. A visit to a restaurant should be a pleasant experience – unfortunately, this was the opposite. We definitely won't be back and cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Very nice mushroom risotto and Apfelstrudel, but more importantly the guy serving me seemed genuinely happy and excited to be working there, it made everything much nicer. They were all speaking Italian to each other and my server commented (happily!) on my Valentino Rossi cap, so it also seems authentic which isn't super common so that's good. Very enjoyable, I was only in Lindau for the night but if I ever go back I'll go there again.

Waiting time is over 1 hour sometimes really bad service the people seem annoyed stressed food was good but that's all

I highly recommend it! Very friendly service and the food is absolutely amazing!

Unfortunately, we can't give 0 stars. Extremely unfriendly staff, I've rarely experienced anything like that, and our ice cream had frozen water in it. Real Italian ice cream is something you'd expect to be delicious. This was far from it.

A delicious pizza was served by cheerful, friendly, and professional staff. I'm completely satisfied and will be happy to come back again and again.

We were absolutely thrilled with this restaurant! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff is extremely friendly and attentive. The dishes were a dream – freshly prepared and delicious! We finished off our meal with an incredibly delicious strudel and a delicious coffee – simply perfect!

Unfortunately, our anticipation and appetite for the ice cream we ordered were ruined by the very rude and arrogant staff. We will not be returning to this restaurant, as we felt we were not treated well.

Simply great 🫶👍😃🌞😋 We were on a quick trip to Lindau. We haven't had such a delicious pizza 🍕 in a long time. The service and atmosphere were top-notch.

It's the end 🥹 We came here in October 2024 by chance and ordered a tagliata di Manzo. The best. Here we are back today, 7 months later, and it's still just as sublime. The best tagliata, period. Hats off to the chef and his team, always so cheerful.

We spontaneously stopped by for pizza while the weather was great. We'd happily return. It was delicious, and the staff accommodated our special requests. Excellent value for money. I got chatting to the manager and was spontaneously treated to an espresso, and my kids were treated to a scoop of ice cream. Wow, really nice, thank you very much.

Very tasty food and very friendly staff. We will definitely be back 🤩

Very good restaurant. The pizza was first-class. The staff was excellent.

We had reserved a table for 9 people and received a very friendly welcome. The waiters were very attentive and we didn't lack for anything. The food was very delicious. The pizza was delicious! We'll be back!

A very relaxed atmosphere and very good food. The staff is really friendly.

I've been a regular at Antonio's for years and am always impressed by the value for money. In the evening, after dinner, I enjoy a glass of wine at sunset and admire the old town. :)

Came 2 days in a row, tasty food,good coffee. Find “Alessio” he will help you …🙂to make your time pleasant..

The food was excellent! I highly recommend both the pasta and the pizza. Good wine and friendly service. Thank you Da Capo for the wonderful evening, and see you next time!

We've been coming to da Capo for a long time and have always been satisfied. However, we were disappointed on our last visit: _ a completely disinterested waiter. _ our order took a long time to be taken, even though it was relatively quiet. _ the food wasn't served properly until the third attempt. _ we waited 30 minutes for a second Radler, but then we didn't want any more. _ the food was okay, the risotto wasn't up to Italian standards. The pasta was okay. _ unfriendly service. Too bad. I won't recommend it again.

Everything is very expensive, especially the drinks, and there are long waiting times until the order arrives

Pizza dough was very bad, sorry

We were at dacapo lindau for the first time today. The atmosphere is very nice and the service is very friendly. We really enjoyed the Tonno pizza, as did the delicious ice cream afterwards. 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.

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

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.

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~

Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience at this place. The service is terrible. We weren't greeted to choose a table, and we had to chase down a server several times. They didn't offer us a menu; we had to get our own. Some people who arrived after us were served first. The women's restroom door is broken, and a woman walked in without noticing me, which made me feel uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I don't recommend this place and wouldn't return, especially if you're hungry and have a child with you (which I was).

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!

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!
