Dal Maestro zur Blume in Balingen

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Simply amazing – Toto Abi & the food! Toto Abi is a legend! Super friendly, warm, and always with a smile on his face. You immediately feel welcome. The food is incredibly delicious, freshly prepared, and truly top-notch in terms of taste. Every order is perfect – no matter what you choose, it tastes fantastic. The price-performance ratio is more than fair, and the portions are really filling. You can tell that they work with passion. For me, it's definitely one of the best places to go if you want to eat really well. Highly recommended – I'll definitely be back! 🙌🔥

Today, the two of us spontaneously decided to have lunch at the restaurant. As soon as we walked in, we saw that all the tables were quite full. We went to ask if there was a free table, but a server spotted us and kindly invited us to the next available one. We were promptly asked about our drinks and our food order. The appetizer arrived within five minutes, followed five minutes later by the main course. The food was absolutely delicious! We were very impressed. The service was quick and friendly, and it was clear they were very efficient. Empty plates were cleared promptly, and they checked in on us to see if we needed anything else or were feeling well. Even though we're local, this certainly won't be our last visit. We're already looking forward to our next time! 👏🏻🥰

Very nice staff, they work very well and are friendly even under pressure. I really enjoyed it! 😁

We were there with colleagues, and the evening, the food, and the atmosphere were fantastic. The staff were very friendly. I highly recommend it.

Excellent management, staff were friendly and very accommodating. The food was incredibly delicious and the portions were generous. 10/10, definitely recommended.

The waiter was very unfriendly this time. I'm very disappointed.

Lovely atmosphere, good, professional, and entertaining staff 😊. Excellent food. (Reservations recommended.) The restaurant is very popular. 👍🍻🍕🍝🥗

We were at Dal Maestro again last night. The service was, as always, very friendly and attentive, with everyone ready with a funny remark. The appetizer arrived in less than 20 minutes, even though all the tables were occupied. The main courses arrived at a pleasant interval. We had pizza, pasta, and Piccanta Milanese. Everything was unanimously a 10 out of 10. We'll gladly come back, as the fact that the restaurant is always full speaks volumes about the excellent service and outstanding cuisine.

We ate there yesterday, November 29th, 2025. The portions were very large, and the food was amazing. The service was very friendly. We felt very comfortable all around. It's definitely worth going there.

We had a truly wonderful evening at this Italian restaurant. The lasagna was beautifully aromatic, freshly prepared, and perfectly seasoned – exactly what you'd expect from a good Italian restaurant. We were also delighted with the Quattro Formaggi pizza: crispy crust, fantastic cheese blend, and a rich, full-bodied flavor. You can tell that the food is cooked with love. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable visit – we'll definitely be back!

The food was delicious as always (10/10), short waiting times, and Dennis was a great server ⭐️

Delicious food, very friendly service, would gladly come again.

We were there with a group of nine people; as always, the food was delicious, and the service was incredibly friendly and competent. My favorite are the pizzas.

If you want to spend a quiet, pleasant evening, you're better off going somewhere else. We were greeted with the words, "You're early!" (8 minutes early). We specifically ordered a salad as a starter, but the main course came right after the salad. When we asked why everything came so quickly, we were told, "That's how it is here." The salad was swimming in sauce and quickly became unappealing. There were enough staff present, but they asked three times if they could take my plate away. So, a slow meal with a break was not welcome. We didn't feel comfortable or welcome.

We always enjoy the food here and the kids always get a scoop of ice cream on the house.

My absolute favorite Italian restaurant! The food is always delicious and the service leaves nothing to be desired.

I know it's an Italian restaurant, but if they're offering a meat dish at this price, I think they should have taken a little more care. The meat was simply placed on the plate, as you can see in the picture—no sauce, no attention to detail, and the meat wasn't cooked properly, making it difficult to chew.

Absolutely fantastic evening! Ask the waitress for Dennis, the best man!!!

By far the best Italian, the best food and a nice waiter named Denis.Tim Braitmaier

Everything was perfect: ambience, food and service

We've been to the restaurant four times recently. It's always the same – you walk in and there's so much hustle and bustle that you feel like you're completely confused. You're taken to your table and immediately bombarded with all sorts of information. What I find worst is the excessive (feigned) politeness and good humor. It feels like they're full of entertainers and self-entertainers. We were just joking. Not exactly what you'd expect from a relaxed restaurant visit. Now for the food… if you want pizza, this is the place… it tastes really delicious! The salad is also delicious – despite a curry salad dressing (Italian?). If you want pasta, you might be disappointed. We tried it twice… it was a disaster each time. The pasta wasn't cooked al dente – the Bolognese was reminiscent of Spaghetti Napoli… the frutti di mare was weak… we couldn't eat it! We love the pizza for pickup, which you can order online, and everything was ready on time ✔️ As I said – pizza is great!

This was our first time at the restaurant and we were extremely satisfied. The service from Toto and Denis, in particular, blew us away. A fantastic team. The food was amazing, completely reasonable in price, and sooooo delicious. We had such a fun and wonderful evening and would love to come back.

We went there on a Saturday evening without a reservation and, after a short wait, got a table. The food was excellent, the service was very friendly, and everything was quick and easy. The staff were consistently cheerful, which created a pleasant atmosphere. We'll be happy to come back.

Everything was great and the service was amazing. P.S.: Go for the tiramisu.

Great service. Great food. Fantastic panna cotta. Highly recommended.

The food was delicious, the dessert was amazing, and the service was fantastic! Highly recommended!

Very tasty food. Friendly and welcoming staff.

To continue to recommend it, you have to improve the food in the kitchen and add more toppings to your pizzas 🍕. After all, you pay a lot of money for certain dishes 💰 and the same goes for pizzas 🍕—you get far too little on the pizza for your money and for the eyes.

Very good food. The interior by the window was very nice, and the food was delicious. We'd be happy to come back.

Italian management, ideal for those in Germany who struggle with the language. The service was friendly and the food was perfect.

Our favorite Italian restaurant in Balingen for years! 🍝 Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, and everything very clean. The staff is friendly and relaxed—you feel like you're visiting friends. Even though it's usually busy, you're served quickly and the food comes out quickly. Orders are fulfilled, the outdoor area is great, and the prices are fair. Highly recommended for pick-up, too!

Excellent service. Very attentive and helpful staff.

We're always extremely satisfied at the Blume. The food is delicious. The service is very prompt, friendly, and attentive, and the food always arrives quickly. It's a very nice atmosphere. It's best to make a reservation in advance, as it's often very busy in the evenings.

I had a very pleasant evening with good food and excellent service. We felt very comfortable.

The restaurant was already very busy at 6 p.m., but the super-friendly service arrived super quickly, as did the drinks and the super-delicious food. Every waiter—we met three (!)—was super nice and had a kind word for us every time we passed by. And the best part is, the manager wasn't even in the restaurant. If he's still reading this: your place is doing great thanks to your fantastic team! Definitely recommended to anyone else considering a visit.

Super delicious pizza, friendly service with good humor

Great atmosphere and excellent food. Cheers to my brother-in-law – things are going great even without a boss :-)

Top-notch restaurant! A great way to enjoy your time! Great food and truly excellent service! Always happy to return and highly recommended.

This is definitely the only Italian restaurant in Balingen I can recommend – making a reservation is highly recommended! The dishes are delicious and plentiful, the atmosphere is lively, and the staff always provides excellent service. I've been here dozens of times, and every time I leave completely satisfied. I love the food here and the passionate people who make this place so special. ❤️❤️❤️

Best Italian restaurant in Balingen 👌🏼 Wonderful food and comfy atmosphere. All personnel are super passionate and friendly. And our friend Salvatore is the best🎤🎵

Great staff, very tasty food, would love to come back

Nice shop, but unfortunately poor service…

Wonderful Italian restaurant 😍🍝💯 Salvatore is super friendly and awesome! I never expected to meet a local in Germany who could sing Guangliang's fairy tales!!! What a surprise! The stir-fried pasta was absolutely delicious. I hope to visit again someday!

Great food with truly exceptional service!

Very tasty food and wonderful service 😊

The service is more than excellent, and the food is highly recommended. Despite a full parking lot, the three of us still managed to get a table without a reservation.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent. The carbonara was highly recommended.

Very friendly staff and excellent food. We'd love to come back.

Excellent food—both pizza and pasta were great. Josep was a fantastic server and rounded off a wonderful evening perfectly.

Amazing service! Delicious food! Favorite Italian restaurant ❤️

The food and service were really great – highly recommended!

As always, the staff is on the ball. The pizzas were delicious. The Gambaretti was a bit too cheesey. The garlic oil was missing. After a quick request, we were given garlic oil and seasoned it ourselves. We'll be back.

There were eight of us there with a reservation. It was so crowded on a Saturday.

Ordering online was easy. Despite being fully booked, the service was quick and there were no long waits. The staff are always friendly and helpful. You feel welcome as a guest. The food was very good, nothing to complain about. Thank you very much.

Very friendly and attentive staff! Excellent food!

We, a group of 12 people with both cognitive and physical disabilities, received a very warm welcome. The staff was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, accommodating to our every need and request. The food was delicious. Everyone was happy. Thank you so much.

We were seated quickly on a Friday evening without a reservation. The restaurant was completely full! The service was very prompt and engaging. Our orders were taken quickly and we received a great meal. Everyone was very satisfied. Thank you for the lovely evening!

Great restaurant! Even without a reservation, we received a warm welcome and were seated immediately. The restaurant was very busy, but the food arrived very quickly. Incredibly friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Very tasty food and the restaurant is especially well-equipped for children (own playground and toys)

It's always a special experience to eat there. Everyone is super friendly and especially child-friendly. And the food is a definite 10/10.

We visited our favorite Italian restaurant again. As regular customers, we weren't disappointed this time either. The food is excellent; the service is attentive and friendly; the atmosphere is cozy. We'll definitely be back.

Consistently good quality for years! Friendly service. Child-friendly. We've been coming here for years.

Simply delicious 🙂 and the service unbeatable 👍

The team is always in a great mood and attentive. The drinks and food are delicious. We enjoy coming to Dal often.

It's always exceptionally good here: the food, the ambiance, the friendliness of the staff—simply everything. But today, August 6, 2025, it's even better than usual, because it's just the girls serving today—the atmosphere is absolutely fantastic. Birthdays are celebrated here, and the guests are included. Good humor and laughter are the order of the day. That's what you want every evening when you go out to eat with friends. Please keep it up, we'll definitely be back. Simply the best in town💫

Super friendly service👍🏻The service alone makes a next visit a must 🫶Thanks to the great team and a big compliment to the kitchen 😊

We had dinner with friends on the terrace, and my pasta was excellent. The waiter, Dennis, was very friendly and served us quickly and politely without being intrusive. He was very attentive. We are very satisfied and would gladly return.

I'm here right now and the food tastes really good

My girlfriend and I went there with two other friends. I have to say, we were deeply disappointed. Not so much with the food, which was fine, but the staff were so deeply rude that it's hard to believe. I've been to hundreds of restaurants around the world, but I've never experienced anything like this: Yes, it was fairly full, but I can't escape into excuses in my job. At one point, when I still had about a third of my plate left, I ordered a glass of water from a waitress because I didn't have anything else to drink. It just kept coming, so I told a second waitress that her colleague hadn't brought my order and gave it to her. Again, nothing came. I had to get a drink from my girlfriend because I didn't have anything. Twenty minutes after the first order, I was finished, and a waiter came with a glass of water. I politely but firmly declined the glass of water, saying I didn't need it anymore. Later, when paying the bill, the waiter (the last one) wanted to charge me for a glass of water, which I naturally declined, as I hadn't needed that glass of water after 20 minutes either. The waiter then said he thought it was a second glass of water, which I had declined. When I, or rather, when we, explained it to him, he said: NOTHING. No apology, no discount, nothing. Instead, after my friend again (politely!) pointed out that it wouldn't have been that difficult to bring him a glass of water (especially since we were sitting 2 meters from the bar), we had to accept it: The waiter laughed and said there was no need to make a big deal out of it. ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS! NEVER AGAIN!

It used to be very tasty. Today it tastes like a primary school kid baking a pizza for the first time. The dough isn't cooked through. It's not crispy. Too much cheap cheese. It's poorly prepared. We'll never come here again.

A good Italian restaurant in Balingen with a wide selection of Italian dishes. The service in the restaurant is very good, and the pasta is highly recommended. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends.

I can highly recommend it, delicious food, very friendly service.

Great food, good and, above all, funny service. Fast service. Simply fantastic.

I'm really excited about this restaurant. The food is absolutely amazing, and I've been coming here ever since I discovered this place. The staff are truly attentive, leaving nothing to be desired. Josip and Salvatore served me, and I'm absolutely captivated. I'm always happy to go back and highly recommend it 🧡

The food is absolutely fantastic, and the service and staff are truly amazing. A real highlight before listening to the bands at the RV Bang. Thank you for the delicious food. You made us happier yesterday than anyone else could have that day 😉👍🏼

As always it is simply awesome and highly recommended

Dal Maestro in Balingen is and remains my absolute favorite restaurant. From the excellent quality of the food to the service, Dal Maestro provides a perfect customer experience. It's always great.

It was incredibly delicious. The service was prompt, all around really great.

A wonderful evening with excellent food. Despite the long journey, we'd be happy to return often.

I was here for the first time today and I'm absolutely thrilled. The service was excellent and friendly. The food arrived quickly, even though we were a large group, and it tasted absolutely delicious. This certainly won't be my last time. Thanks to the team.

The best Italian restaurant in the BL area that I know. Whenever we (from Augsburg) are here, we go here to eat. Fast, very friendly service and always a culinary experience.

We were there for the first time today. We'd heard positive things about it before, so we wanted to see for ourselves. It was definitely worth it. The ambiance, the child-friendly service, the staff, and of course the food – everything exceeded our expectations! The food is not only delicious but also served quickly, so you can eat together. The prices are also great! We'd be happy to go back anytime.

Great atmosphere, competent team, super delicious food, and really quick service despite the restaurant being almost full. Toto has a great "Schmäh" (Austrian for saying) and was fully able to provide impeccable advice to our Spanish colleague in his native language! @Toto, thank you!!

Delicious, funny, and a great evening. Even though the boss wasn't there 😉

Very friendly service. The location is in an industrial area, so the ambiance loses one star. The pizza calzone was good and very large; the pizza margarita was a bit dry. The portion was very large.

Great pizzeria, very friendly and attentive service. Best pizzeria within a 120km radius Greetings from Grandma with the ice cream 🍕🍦

Very tasty pizza and great service

Lunch with a toddler. Very child-friendly! Very tasty and very attentive! We'll definitely do it again!

We went to Dal Maestro yesterday for the first time in ages (with children for the first time), and it was extraordinary how well everyone treated our children, which prompted me to write a review. Everything else was as usual. Delicious, quick, and friendly! Absolutely fantastic!

Good, tasty pizza Fast, attentive service

We stumbled upon this restaurant spontaneously while passing through and were absolutely thrilled. All the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food arrived incredibly quickly after ordering, with generous portions that were filling, and a truly reasonable price. I'm usually a bit critical, but there really wasn't a single negative comment! A top-notch place, honestly!

I just ate here, and I can't complain. The service was super friendly, and the food is fantastically delicious 😋 Highly recommended. I'd be happy to come back :)

We were here for the first time today, with friends. We haven't experienced such great conditions (everyone) in a long time, friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. 😋 We moved to Balingen 12 weeks ago, and we'll be visiting you more often ;-), that's 100% certain!!!!!!

We celebrated our class reunion last Saturday in the adjoining room of Dal Maestro. First, we enjoyed a delicious meal and drinks, then we were allowed to stay there until we left on our own. The staff was super friendly, cheerful, and up for any joke. We'd love to come back. Keep up the good work. I'm sorry if any guests were bothered by our good (loud) mood.

We were at dal Maestro again with 10 people, and as always, everything was perfect. Toto (Salvatore), in particular, was super funny and entertained us well. The other service staff were also very friendly and left nothing to be desired. We'd love to come back and look forward to our next visit. Keep up the good work, you're a great team ☺️

Popular place, food really good, waiting time depend on number of people

Great restaurant with excellent service. The wait staff and owners are highly motivated and very friendly. Everything is done very quickly and professionally. The food is excellent! I'm thrilled! Keep it up.

Went there yesterday with a group. Everyone was enthusiastic about the food and the extremely funny waiter. It was just amazing how empathetic he was. Thanks for that

Very tasty 🍕 Super friendly and entertaining staff. So you'll be happy to come back.

Super nice staff. Top food. Price performance more than fair.
