City Lounge in München

During our stay in Munich, we had the pleasure of dining at this Italian restaurant and the experience was excellent from every point of view. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with refined furnishings reminiscent of authentic Italian trattorias. The staff was extremely kind and attentive, capable of making us feel at home straight away. The menu offers a selection of typical Italian dishes, prepared with fresh, quality ingredients. We ordered a mixed starter, followed by a seafood risotto and a sliced ​​beef: all impeccable, tasty and well presented. The wine list is also excellent, with well-selected Italian labels. A place we will definitely return to. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic Italian experience in the heart of Munich!

I charged my phone with a cup of coffee. Thank you very much, you saved a life

Exceptional place, excellent food and very qualified staff. Highly recommended for those looking for a small corner of Italy in Monaco

What a great find this Italian restaurant in Munich! As soon as we entered, we were greeted with a smile and an inviting smell of Mediterranean cuisine. The place is intimate but elegant, with details that recall the real Italy, that of Sundays with the family. We started with tagliatelle bolognese, and then schnitzel with chips. All accompanied by a glass of Tuscan red wine recommended by the waiter, which was truly spot on. To finish, a classic tiramisu that seemed to have been made by grandmother. Fast service, friendly and attentive staff without being intrusive. Honest prices for the quality offered. A corner of Italy in Monaco that is absolutely worth trying!

Came to Munich for a school trip. I had already realized that Italian food abroad is not instantaneous, but this really makes you cry. Let's start with the pasta: served cold and almost as hard as a stone. Let's move on to the second: a cutlet cooked in used engine oil, made literally 2 hours before and reheated on the spot. Also brought burnt and dripping with oil. Inedible and disgusting. The only saving grace are the fries which are decent. Let's analyze the dessert, which is usually difficult to do badly. Served a sandy, nauseating ice cream, impossible to eat. But that's not all: dirty place and incompetent staff: spaghetti spilled on a friend of mine, chips scattered on the table. Smelly smell of burnt garlic and very hot room, with no air conditioning. Finally, when booking we were told that there were dishes for celiacs, but when ordering it is not even possible to eat pasta and forced to eat salad and chips. Impossible to have clean glasses and water not on tap. In short, one of the worst places I've ever eaten in. I strongly advise against it to anyone who only has the remote intention of wanting to go.

Terrible! The food is terrible, the staff unfriendly. Their priority: profitability.

I had to throw up for a whole week straight up

Denisa was a friendly service, quick, polite, very sensitive, the food was very tasty and warm, I always come back

Excellent service, helpful staff and good food....very kind

Helpful staff and good food... very good beer

Excellent food, friendly staff and reasonable prices, all recommendations...

I strongly advise against this place. I went with my family and two kids. I ordered two pizzas and another dish. Since the waitress understood that we were going to share a pizza, she offered to bring it already divided. And here’s the trick: they brought the pizza with several pieces missing — less than three-quarters of a pizza split onto two plates. They thought they could be clever! Dishonest and rude! They even laughed after we pointed it out! Avoid this place and go to more honest restaurants — there are plenty in Munich!

Terrible food, rude staff, high prices

A delightful surprise. This cosy pizzeria offered not only excellent pizza, made with fresh ingredients and a perfectly crisp base, but also a truly memorable welcome from José Carlos, a warm-hearted Portuguese host whose kindness and genuine hospitality set the tone for the entire evening; his friendly attitude and personal touch transformed a simple meal into a moment of connection, making us feel less like customers and more like old friends.

Fresh parmesan, garlic oil and really good Italian cuisine, composed by excellent, friendly staff. What more could you want?

Top service, extensive menu and very good pizzas. As far as I can tell, the pasta is also recommended.

Stuff is extremely rude! No English menu, I been told “pasta is pasta, pizza is pizza and vino is vino”

Ideal restaurant. Good views at the entrance to the old town of Munich. Not bad price. We ordered a York ham and cheese pizza, with an egg in the middle. It was very good, the flavor was very reminiscent of a good Italian pizza. Accustomed to less artisanal pizzas, the dough is thin, but there is good quality in the ingredients. At first they were a bit rude, they were packed and we didn't understand each other in English, but then they were friendly. We found it strange that those at the next table put some sauces with the pizza and we didn't have the same one, I doubt if they asked for it since almost all the tables had it

Too crowded in evening. Food is good and well served.

My God ! Pizza was so delicious !!

Wonderful food at a fair price, the only thing is the atmosphere leaves something to be desired for those with children. I went twice in one day because the food was so good.

EDIT: They marked my no-comment star-only comment as defamation and reported it to Google. The same day I noticed other low-star reviews disappearing from here. Beware of potentially fake average high rating.

terrible. in every sense. the pasta was overcooked and there was no parmesan cheese. the meat was terrible, it was served cold, only the potatoes were good. at a certain point during dinner they even took away our water, even though we had a FULL bottle. and they even kicked us out. if you are Italian, don't come to this place, terrible.

Never eaten so badly, it doesn't reflect Italian cuisine at all,

I've never eaten so badly, calling it an Italian restaurant is an insult to Italy, SUCH, I gave it one star because you can't get 0, that's all I'm saying.

Excellent food, very nice and I will definitely come back in the future

We were welcomed by friendly and helpful staff, good quality food and clean environment.

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to, perfect service, food and prices, the owner is a person with a heart of gold, even the waiters are super attentive and ready for any kind of request, really top notch, super recommended, we will definitely come back when we return to Monaco

Very nice restaurant, good and high-quality food, always very polite and courteous staff. I felt comfortable and at ease and would love to come back.

The place is nice, the food is fairly good, it's close to the center so you can easily access the shopping streets. I recommend coming here if you should go shopping later.

For me the almost perfect Italian in Munich. I have been visiting the restaurant for years and it has always tasted great. Pizza and pasta are particularly recommended there, as are the tasty cocktails 😁 First of all there is good bread with garlic/chilli oil, I would recommend the small side salad - very tasty! The atmosphere is rustic and modern, large and always busy, which is why it tends to be louder than the small Italian restaurant with tablecloths and flowers on the table. In summer you can also sit outside, but that's a matter of taste as to whether you think it's nice between Sonnenstrasse, bike path and pedestrian path😄It doesn't bother me😉 The service is friendly and on point, I personally never had to wait long. For me it would be the perfect Italian if a Cesar salad was actually a Cesar salad🙈 Unfortunately your dish has nothing to do with it, which is a shame!! Tip: Either the original recipe🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏or change the name = “breaded chicken with mixed salad and balsamic dressing” is quite good😇😜 Otherwise everything was great, I will continue to come to you to feast and can only recommend it👍 Wheelchair accessibility is limited; the toilet is located one floor down via stairs.

Were just here to have an espresso. The espresso was undrinkable, salty and disgusting.

It is compulsory to tip 10%, which I have never seen in Europe!

The waiters were impatient with Asian people. And the meals are between average level only. Don’t expect too much. It is mandatory to collect 10% tip whatever the service how bad is. Just like a fast food restaurant taste. Sucks!

Only restaurants 10% tip is mandatory in Germany. The service was poor, and I was not allowed to place my bag on an empty seat, only on the floor. I don’t think a 10% tip is justified.

Salmon salad delicious Tiramisu and pina colada are not.

Top service and top food. I would even give it 10 stars.

Rude staff who present themselves badly and are also obnoxious do not use the trays to carry glasses and cups but who put their fingers inside them thus touching the food inside them. The food is quite poor with inadequate and sad portions. The dark and creepy place features signs of well-known alcoholic beverages popular in Italy which attempt to lighten the atmosphere and spread joy and light-heartedness but with terrible results. Personally I am not aware of the prices of the place but I think that for what I ate you don't pay more than 10 euros for a dish.

Came with the school, pasta sucks, overcooked and cooked in the microwave, terrible experience. I understand the high number of people but the food is terrible (as is its quality). If the food is the same as they serve, don't go there. We waited a long time once and another time we were chased away as soon as we finished the meal.

Terrible experience. Really rude staff who kick you out of the "restaurant" as soon as you finish eating. Terrible, inhumane food, impossible to define as Italian, it is an insult to Italian cuisine.

We went there for dinner with a group of students. I'd better not write about what we experienced there. 0 stars

I had the pleasure of interacting with this restaurant (if it deserves to be called that) during a school trip, we came two evenings in a row and both times we waited more than 30/40 minutes, once inside you immediately notice the decibel level inside the place comparable to the tumult of ciompi, the pasta is overcooked and the sauce so insignificant that if I had poor Boccelli's visual faculties I would certainly have mistaken it for a pasta dish in broth, for a second course a cutlet whose level of grease was vaguely reminiscent of P Diddy's parties, the staff, who in the few 5-star reviews I saw were defined as Italian, instead turn out to have North African accents and respond abruptly, showing the empathy of a hydrocarbon compound. There is little to say and a lot to do to improve, I would recommend removing the Italian sign first.

Italian pizza and pasta restaurant, helpful staff....in the center of Munich. The Espresso is also good...

me and my class went to this restaurant twice during the school trip. they made us leave after less than an hour after we had just ordered some beers because they had too many people to feed. its outrageously sad how they treated us. the meat was often cold too, bad quality.

DON'T NAME ITALY IN VAIN, the schnitzel was rubbery, the waiters didn't respond and the pasta was overcooked

Calling it a soup kitchen for the homeless is a compliment. Never eaten so badly, pasta that isn't pasta but an overcooked dish, a cutlet with chips that must have been cooked last week.

Unpleasant experience during a school trip. Rude staff, chaotic place and mediocre food to be kind. ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE WITH FOOD INTOLERANCES. Even though we had declared them more than a month before, when booking, and had continually reiterated them to the waiters, they were unable to guarantee us valid alternatives beyond plain salad.

very bad experience, rude waiters, we waited more than an hour and a half for the food to arrive. Despite the requests regarding food intolerances, already anticipated a month before and reiterated several times to the waiters on the same evenings, they were not respected. I do not recommend the place at all, especially to schools who are on an educational trip

Constant fuss because of the tables next to the window. They are "reserved" but after hours no one comes and occupies them. What's that supposed to mean?

Wonderful restaurant. We came here for a friend's birthday and the treatment was fantastic. They even surprised her with a birthday cake which was so unexpected. I adore the waiter and staff for their kindness and will come back. The place is customer friendly and the food is delicious with a decent price. The atmosphere is extremely elegant and great to celebrate her birthday in style. All 10/10, we came at a late hour when the restaurant was almost at capacity on the weekend. We were greeted politely at the door and shown to our seats. Love. I personally ordered: turkey schnitzel, a delicious dessert and a few cocktails. What I also find commendable is that I had a few special requests regarding the food and they were fulfilled, even exceeded.

Been there several times now. Food was always extremely tasty. In my opinion, pizza is the best within a 1500 km radius. Oh, on the subject of mice, I've never seen one!!

My favorite Italian restaurant in Munich. On the positive side, the food and drinks are very tasty. Negatively, the portions are too big, which drives up the price, it is very noisy in the evenings and you have to wait a long time for a waiter.

Unfortunately the quality of the food was not good. I can't recommend it.

Excellent food and very nice staff

Centrally located next to the Stachus. Ambience more like a sports bar with a kitchen. Very attentive service. The food was good (pizza and tagliatelle). We would come back.

good prices and giant sizes of true italian dishes! found this place on christmas eve and it turned out so good and tasty that we went there 2nd time on the last day of our trip too. we especially appreciate the desserts, as not many places offer such a wide selection.

I've been going there for years and I just think it's great. Very nice and attentive staff. You feel very comfortable. Service is very important here. Highly recommended!

Good service, very good food, huge portions! We ordered spaghetti carbonara and spaghetti puttanesca

Absolute shame, I waited over 50 minutes for my order, only for it to be canceled for no reason after such a long wait. impudence

Was introduced to this place by random travellers. Food portion is huge for pizza! We had carbonara, ravioli and pizzas. I love the ravioli! Must try!!! Tiramisu is nice to end the meal

We ate grilled salmon and salmon tagliatelle. The portions were quite large and very delicious. I would definitely recommend it. The price-performance ratio is quite good.

The pizza was cooked in real oven and very good quality, the price was appropriate, the service was very good, and it is 1 minute walk away from Stachus.

Well, everything was sooo delicious!!! We took a steak with Argentine beef and my wife took a steak with salmon plus 2 HB beers, it came out to 56 €. Sooo everything is delicious

We were in Munich for 3 days and went to the City Lounge every day. Very good price-performance. The food was very tasty, the staff was friendly and the place was always full, which says a lot. Would only recommend.

Fast, cheap and very tasty. Thanks

Terrible development! I was a loyal regular customer for years and recommended the CL to many people (as a city guide, TO A LOT!) After a year of not being in Muc, I finally went again at the end of November 2024. But what happened? * Salad: €3 more - extremely fewer ingredients * Pizza: €4 more, 30% smaller * The water, which used to always have a very special taste and was from a good company (we specifically asked for the bottle so we could buy it), was now just normal water * the Greek salt came WITHOUT: delicious bread, egg and pepperoni, LOTS OF VENIGER: tomato, cucumber and HARDLY ANY carrot and dressing (had to get oil/vinegar from the next table) * the plate of the salad was super unappetizing: it had a gray-green pattern. I was shocked at first because I thought it was mold. who designs something like that? I went over with the napkin and tried to wipe it off, but then I saw that it was burnt paint * the pizza came unprompted on 2 plates and the halves were tiny. The pizza used to be bigger than the plate. When I said, "Oh, already shared!", the waiter said, "Yes, because the table is so small!" Uh... 2 plates for the pizza plus 1 plate for the salad => 3 plates. Doesn't it make more sense to serve the pizza on ONE plate? Oh no...then the guest notices that it is now 30% smaller. * The pizzas on the next tables were a little larger, but not like they used to be. Maybe we just got ripped off because we were there with Schlemmerblock?! We used to come with it too and everything was always the normal size/number. The CL now has small portions, high prices and normal taste - so it's nothing special anymore. The size used to be AWESOME compared to the price and location! Now you can get something bigger and cheaper somewhere else!

This is the second time I've been to the City Lounge and I'm still impressed, great atmosphere, nice service, delicious pizzas and appetizers. A big compliment to the entire team!

We are often very satisfied with our regular restaurant

If you're looking for an authentic schnitzel experience, this is the place to go! The staff here is incredibly friendly and welcoming. They went above and beyond by taking the time to translate and thoroughly explain everything in English, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommended for both the food and the exceptional service!

We were here today with the Schlemmerblock and ordered a pizza and pasta. The pizza was very large and tasted great too. The pasta was okay, but unfortunately there was very little parmesan on it and you didn't get any extra cheese. The local itself was very crowded and also very loud. On the one hand through the guests and on the other hand through the music. That was rather annoying because it wasn't in the direction of the bar (where the music is a bit more in the foreground), but was just annoying. There were also 3 women sitting in front of the toilets who wanted money, which made the situation a bit uncomfortable. Price-performance was generally okay

Waited for 30-40 minutes for service before I left

Walking distance to metro and tourist areas. Mushroom pizza was very delicious. They have caring and friendly service staff, it can be very busy on Friday evenings.

During my 5-day stay in Munich, I was there twice. Very tasty noodles, great attentive service and well located in the city. Gladly again, thank you very much!

Big portions but do not expect authentic Italian. Edit: The service at the restaurant was very good. However, I’m disappointed by the unprofessional attitude in responding to reviews. Constructive feedback should be welcomed, not met with sarcasm.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this place in any way. The Caesar salad only had the name Caesar. There was also too much fat(. The lasagna didn't arouse any positive feelings either. The hall was dark, there was little light and the atmosphere in the place was too dreary. The service was good and the prices were also reasonable. I'm shocked at the owner's responses to other reviews! He humiliates and insults visitors who point out the flaws in their work or food. This is unacceptable. The owner's responses are abusive, humiliating and sometimes even xenophobic and discriminatory

Embarrassing food, dirty place, even the cutlery and glasses. Your shoes get sticky when you walk in. Really poor quality food, and hair on the plate. Rude waiters since they are not local. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO NAME ITALY IN VAIN.

I come here occasionally with friends and am also satisfied. Prices are also ok, but it happened to me for the second time that we were supposed to sit somewhere else because the table was supposedly reserved even though many tables next door were still free. I've never experienced anything like that!

You get a happy hour menu, but in the end everything is charged at normal prices.

Our first visit to a restaurant in Munich. Well worth it. We booked online just in case it was busy. It was a Sunday evening, so as you can imagine, it wasn't busy. We ordered drinks and food which came to the table soon after. The food that was served, pizza, pasta and pork schnitzel tasted great and massive portions. One small niggle was the fries were too salty but apart from that fantastic and at a little over €100 for four people a good price. The server was polite, prompt and well presented. Customer toilets are to the rear downstairs, these were clean and tidy.

We went here today for dinner before our visit to the German Theater. The food was excellent. We had a mixed salad, Orecchiette di Manzo al Limone, Tagliatelle al Salmone and Pizza Diavola. All highly recommended. The employees were all very friendly and the service was attentive. We'll definitely be back.

Everyone is very friendly and the mega pizza, highly recommended...Keep it up!

This is the "Jumbo" cocktail of happy hour... are you serious???

Because of «Wiesn Zeit» we were cheated and had to pay more for all our drinks than stated on the menu. It's a shame, we don't come here anymore

Not recommended, I can't find the words simply catastrophic, food, service atmosphere 👎👎 We ordered pizza twice that weren't even baked properly. We complained about this and the waiter wanted me to be a learned *chef/pizza maker In Italy* explain that the pizza is so normal/original 🫣, We also ordered a ravioli with truffle sauce that was garnished with croutons and sprouts?!?!? Inedible... Despite the complaint, we paid the full amount. The main thing is that the store is full, the rest doesn't matter. Money rip-off. Only for tourists. Especially now at a time when you have to think about whether you're going out to eat at all and, above all, "WHERE"! *Reply to owner's comment* The way you answered confirms to us your unfriendliness, unprofessionalism and no loyalty in dealing with criticism. Best regards Munich :)

Very inconspicuous from the outside, but very nice inside with enough space! The service was very attentive and friendly. Pizza was really tasty! Price ok for Munich!

The food is very tasty. The location cozy. There are several TVs including music. The MA are very friendly. Gladly again at any time!

Very nice people and very tasty food

GULULU free tote hose YURRRRRRRRR!

We were still out and about at 11 p.m. and were hungry, exactly the right place, service top, food top!!! What more do you want ! 5 stars 🌟

Terrible food, cooking the wrong pasta, they don't bring bread

Friendly service, great food, quick service

Menu only in German, prices that lead to confusion. Totally we have felt scammed and we have paid too much for a meal that was not worth it. I don't recommend it at all.

Very great restaurant with good music on weekends and excellent food & cocktails! Service very nice! Always my pleasure!

Extremely delicious pizza!! Hands off to the pizza chef.. must try!! Love the Margarita 😍😍

The food here is really excellent – ​​always fresh and very tasty! The service is attentive and friendly, so you immediately feel at home. I come here regularly to eat and am always impressed. Absolutely recommended!

I've been coming here to eat every now and then for 2 years. The food always tastes great and always comes to the table quickly. The service is always great and super friendly. The prices are very good and justified.

After 30 years, I return to Munich and stumble upon this splendid Italian place. Outdoor tables. Courtesy service and the ultimate surprise. . .two waitresses with Salento accents. I discover CV and one is Leccese and the other is Trepuzzi. This sweet discovery almost thrilled me. As a good connoisseur of the trade, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants... both the excellent ingredients of superior quality and the kindness and marked professionalism of the entire staff. I'll miss you but if I'm lucky to find a job around here... which I want with all my heart. I will definitely come back to visit you. With affection and esteem. Marco Loconte. Milanese mixed with Puglia and Bavaria. ❤️

The facade is deceptive, top pizza and friendly staff. Surprisingly cheap despite being close to the city.

The staff is friendly and cheerful🥹 Even the food is really delicious and the portions are plentiful. I really enjoyed it.

We were there at the beginning of September 2024. The pizza was huge and fresh, crispy crust, thin and lots of cheese. There was extra chilli oil and garlic oil in the glass, the drinks were ice cold, the young waitress was very nice and warm. After first wandering around in the crowded old town, where everything was full and small pizzas cost over €20, we found what we were looking for thanks to the Google top reviews. Giant 4-cheese pizza with rocket €14.99. The neighbor's pasta plate looked great too! Thanks to the City Lounge team!
