DAVIDE in Verden (Aller)

I've been there with a friend every few months for many years. Everything was perfect for the first few years: great, friendly service and delicious food. Lately, with a variety of excuses, we can no longer get the table we want and are put at a "cat table" for two, the staff and the boss are becoming less friendly and you have the feeling that you are just being a nuisance. Bruschetta is usually over-roasted (black). The menu is manageable and, in my opinion, has too many 'spicy' dishes. The prices have risen enormously. I now prefer to go to the competition.

Full marks for the best Italian restaurant far and wide. A great atmosphere and you feel like you're part of a big family. Very friendly staff, always accommodating. The food......what can you say about that??? I don't know of anything where I like it better. Delicious FRESH cuisine for every taste and special requests are always taken into account. Not to forget the huge selection of top wines. Really great. Hope it will always stay that way. Sara and Dario..... Keep it up with your great team

It used to be a small, cozy pizzeria, more of an insider tip... It used to be uniquely good and very personal... Now that the restaurant has been renovated and expanded, it has become even more beautiful. Still very good Italian food and excellent wines (own wine cellar). The atmosphere in the restaurant is typically Italian and familiar. In addition, there is not only more space for the restaurant but also 4 very loving and perfect guest rooms that I can highly recommend. Especially if you (like us) have a long way to go, it's just a good opportunity not to have to drive home again in the evening. It's no longer an insider tip, so you should pre-order! The chef always interprets local, seasonal, German ingredients to create delicious dishes that you definitely won't get anywhere else. So always look at the daily menu and let the chef inspire you ;) A restaurant that you can only recommend if you like Italian flair and joie de vivre as well as Italian cuisine. The pictures are from a "special menu" and these dishes cannot be found on the menu but perfectly show the creativity of the chef. Addendum 2024 still the best Italian far and wide. I'm also trying out your husband's lunch menu.

I ordered 1 pizza by phone on Saturday at 7 p.m. and was supposed to pick it up 30 minutes later. I was there on time. 1. Minus point, you wait at the entrance for service and although there were several service employees walking around, it took quite a while before you were served. The restaurant was not extremely busy at the time. 2. Minus point, when it was my turn there was no order for me, so I had to wait because the pizza was then freshly made 3. Minus point is the payment. I was supposed to pay 15.90 euros, but then said that the online card said 13.90 euros. If you didn't believe me, it wasn't until the boss checked himself that he saw that the pizza actually only cost 13.90 euros. Did they want to rip me off? I finally left the restaurant with the pizza at 8 p.m. The biggest minus is that you can only pay in cash. Seems strange to me too... The pizza was okay, but nothing special. There was no excuse for forgetting, I felt more like I was intruding. Then there are sayings everywhere and the map is extremely confusing. Not beautifully designed. I won't eat anything there myself. Have somehow degraded the service and quality.

Again the food was delicious and the service was very nice.

We were at DAVIDE Essen today on the occasion of our 44th wedding anniversary. It was a very good decision. My wife had fish, I had lamb. Both 5 stars

Nice evening, sat outside on the terrace and it started straight away with question marks. The menu is full of emojis and novels. A good 30 minutes to read through and understand the dishes! Really annoying, such a tiring map. Then the drink order. The wish was an alcohol-free shandy. Answer: It's not possible, we won't do it. What is that? Maybe not everyone has it ready-filled on site, but which restaurant today doesn't have non-alcoholic beer and lemonade? However, my companion got a non-alcoholic wheat. Great. Then there was no classic Parma pizza, you had to order it first. Pizza was ok, but far from good. Then at some point the boss came and cashed in on all the guests. Then there was the classic expulsion. Ok, I can still understand, there are opening times. However, there were still guests there, the weather was great and people were still drinking. Oh and in this day and age only offering cash payment... NO-GO!!! There wasn't even a proof of payment. So you know where things are going. All in all a unsuccessful evening. Not recommended and my first visit will be my last.

Pizza was prepared quickly, tasted OK but extremely expensive Had a small pizza and a small coke and paid €14.60 which is a rip off...

I experienced one of the most beautiful weddings there and ate probably the best vegetarian buffet on the planet! Many thanks to the team and the (slightly crazy) owner. 😊

The food was very tasty. We were served quickly and the pizza was ready quickly. There are deductions for pure cash payments. We stopped there spontaneously and it was pure luck that we had enough cash with us for once. Otherwise we would have left again. Still not offering card payments in 2024 is really no longer up to date! And one star deducted for the menu, which was certainly meant to be funny but was completely confusing. I want to choose a menu and not have to read a novel. I then capitulated to this menu and simply ordered a ham pizza. You should plan at least half an hour more time if you want to get an overview of the menus on offer.

As always, it was extremely tasty! Absolute Lupara fan with a nice green sauce

True Italian domestic restaurant! Delicious food!

Unfortunately, we cannot recommend the food on site, and the owner and staff are very unfriendly towards you. We each had a salad for €17 and two children's pasta. The chicken on the salad was very greasy and when I asked the owner about it and showed it to him, he got really rude. The kids' pasta barely had bolognese and was hard! 60€ for nothing, thank you! In addition, ONLY cash payment is accepted. I wished you had come along a little, since you saw that all the plates were full. Unfortunately I cannot recommend your restaurant.

Very good. I recommend it with a clear conscience. There's really nothing to complain about. Affordable prices.

Delicious food and very interesting drinks!🍷

Nice on the pretty terrace with delicious food (pizza and pasta). Wonderful.

Extreme case of Molto Bello! As an Italian, I can particularly emphasize how Molto Bello the dishes here are. The green sauce is tasty, the pizza is optimal, the Prosecco has a lot of foam! I was so excited that I accidentally took a crooked photo of my pizza.

We have been there very often and enjoyed it... With the updated prices and smaller portions, this will no longer be the case. A pity!

It was super tasty and the price was right too

An all-round successful evening. Great attentive service and fantastic food. We were very excited! Thank you very much!!!

Delicious food and nice service. I recommend it 100%

It's a shame, the food was delicious, just a little too little. It was very warm, although we asked for another table and also asked for an exchange before the reserved table was handed over, the request was rejected just because they didn't want to transfer the order to another table. While eating we were then asked if everything was okay, after we had received the food 3 seconds before and couldn't even try a portion. When we asked if everything was okay and pointed out that there wasn't a lot on the plate, we were told that we should go into the kitchen ourselves to let the boss know because there was a lot going on. When you mentioned when paying that one of the dishes was unfortunately spicy even though you ordered it without being spicy, you just laughed at it. Simply catastrophic service!!!! Oh yeah, and we weren't asked for any more drinks either.

We were there with a small group of 4 people. Starters and main courses were all delicious 😋 and sufficient. The pizzas 🍕 in particular were well topped and large

Fri 12/15/23 As a regular guest you will be warmly welcomed, as an occasional guest you will be a “pass-through item”. We don't live locally. We combined wine collection with food and chose the fish menu twice with a glass of wine included. The main course and starter came at exactly the same time. Oh well.. The food was excellent. When paying we were asked to pay a glass of wine for €7.90 on top, which we hadn't even ordered. At the counter the lady admitted her mistake (respect!!), the head waiter took the receipt back and shouted a number at us. We had already counted the final amount (with a tip) on the counter placed. The gentleman took the money. No thanks, no greetings, no goodbye. As I said: transitory items…. We are used to something different from Italians. Update 01/01/24: It is a mystery to me how several (!!!!) only positive 2-4 day old reviews appear today when the restaurant is on “winter break” from December 23rd, 2023.

Einfach alles super. Tolles Essen nette Bedienung Und sehr freundliche Umgebung👍👍👍👍👍👍

Gutes Essen, schönes Ambiente, top Service... auch mit großen Gruppen kein Problem! (Weihnachtsfeier) 😉👍

Seit 40 Jahren immer wieder gerne und sehr gut. Euch schönen Urlaub, schöne Feiertage und ein gesundes 2024.

1,5 Stunden aufs Essen gewartet in einer stickigen Umgebung und wenig ansprechendem Ambiente.

Das Essen war sehr gut, die Bedienung jedoch sehr langsam was die Getränke betrifft.

Leider betrug die Wartezeit für 1 Pizza 1 Stunde. Außerdem war der Kuchen verbrannt und geschmacklos. Der Service war höflich und sehr stimmungsvoll. Ich kann es nicht empfehlen

I like the place, the staff is super friendly. The food was amazing. If you want a Italian restaurant this place is a win decision.

Ich war mit ein paar Kollegen zum Abendessen dort. Das Ambiente war ganz angenehm. Das Essen war nicht so meins.die Nudeln waren ins Sahne ertränkt und viel zu fettig.

Leckeres Essen und super Service. Wir kommen wieder. Danke .

Leckeres Essen, freundliche Bedienung

Immer wieder wunderbar... lecker essen, Spitzenwert und hervorragender Service

Es ist und bleibt einfach eines der besten Lokale die ich kenne. Das Essen ist einfach von einer anderen Welt. Der Service ist ebenfalls unschlagbar. Tausendmal danke für die tollen Abende bei euch!

Wir sind mit dem Auto liegen geblieben und haben dort die Zeit überbrückt. Die Pizza und der Service waren SUPER 👍. Wir würden dort gerne wieder essen, leider ist der Weg zu weit (170 km).

Wenn wir mal in der Nähe sind, dann fest mit eingeplant. Immer wieder gerne.

Heute bin ich enttäuscht. Zwei bestellte Calzonen haben einfach nach nichts geschmeckt. Die extra Grüne Soße wurde vergessen. Einige Hähnchenbrust Stücke waren noch roh. Wir werden auch in Zukunft weiter dort essen gehen und zum abholen bestellen, aber das von heute war nix

Die Muscheln waren lecker, die gambas eher enttäuschend. Der Nachtisch war lecker und der Weißwein aus Sizilien (Grillo) fantastisch. Der Service war okayayay. Alles in allem aber ein empfehlenswerter Italiener.

Service anfänglich ein Desaster! 35 Minuten auf die Aufnahme der Getränke gewartet! Danach übernahm den Service die Besitzerin und es lief fantastisch! Essen war sehr gut, auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

Wir sind im Februar von Hamburg nach Verden gezogen und waren von der Restaurant Vielfalt verwöhnt. Aber weder mein Freund noch ich haben in Hamburg oder in irgendeiner anderen Stadt so lecker Italienisch gegessen wie bei Davide! Sehr empfehlenswert! Das essen ist super lecker und qualitativ sehr hochwertig. Meine Pizza Empfehlung: die Raffinata :)

Naja. Bedienung nett aber manchmal etwas durcheinander. Das Essen, besonders Nudeln komplett zu viel Würze bzw. salzig das man nur den Salz Geschmack hat beim essen. Soße zur Calzone nur für Leute die scharf mögen, ebenfalls nicht geniessbar. Ich finde man kann immer nachwürzen und das ist besser als wenn man sein Essen nicht schmeckt. Tut mir leid aber bei den Preisen nicht unser Favorit.

Umfangreiche Speisekarte, da findet wirklich jeder etwas..... wenn er sich durch die unnötig langen Texte gekämpft hat.....

Sehr gute Weine auf der Karte. Leider schwangt die Qualität der Speisen.

L'ambiente accogliente e il personale italiano ti fa subito sentire a casa. La pizza era unica, pasta croccante ma non secca, con la mozzarella di cui si sentiva il sapore di latte e il pomodoro semplicemente perfetto. Il liquore a base di grappa di melone è stato il tocco finale, dal gusto fresco e dolce insieme. I titolari simpatici e affabili hanno contribuito alla serata. Spero di tornarci presto!

Das Essen war sehr gut. Leider hat der Service sehr lange auf sich warten lassen.

Trotz längerer Wartezeiten, bedingt durch Personalmangel,sehr nette kompetente Bedienung. Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Immer wieder gerne. p.s.der Grappa war himmlisch 😁

Super lecker und super freundlich auch zu den Kindern. Wirklich zu empfehlen

Ich kann das Restaurant nur empfehlen: Essen, Ambiente und Service sind top!

Reichlich Auswahl an Gerichten und dabei noch sehr lecker. Personal sehr freundlich, selbst der Chef kommt zum servieren. Immer wieder einen Besuch wert.

Liebevoll gestaltete Karte, riesen Auswahl, kein 0815 Italiener. Sehr witziger Chef und freundliches Personal. Wir kommen wieder!

Sehr nettes Personal und super Service! Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. War nicht unser letzter Besuch...
