Dolce Vita in Hamburg

delicious food and very friendly staff

I was there with my partner on a fairly warm summer day. We were looking forward to some refreshment. First of all, we had to wait for what felt like half an hour before an employee - even after clearly asking whether we could order something - would approach us. The delivery again took half an hour. Here too we would have to ask where our order is. The shandy and hefeweizen were piss warm. At such outside temperatures you should have enough cold drinks on hand. I can NOT recommend this restaurant. I'd rather go to the sands opposite and have a cocktail there.

Very nice service, great atmosphere, we've been there once a month, the food was delicious 😋 We were there yesterday and we'll be back

Love this place!! Ran in during a rain storm so cozy Great drinks Friendly service Good pizza Just a little midafternoon stop 6 tables inside and 15 tables outside Great location! Loved the “vibe”

It was warm in Hamburg. What could be nicer than a cool drink? The Dolce Vita is located exactly between the DB train station and the subway station. The restaurant offers cozy-looking outdoor seating. There were two of us and we quickly found space. Unfortunately the bench was defective - the armrest had broken out of its holder, so you couldn't sit comfortably. The table top at the next table was apparently missing. The base of the remaining table was moved aside and a wooden box was placed as a replacement. You can do it, but it seems strange. Unfortunately, it was hard to recognize the service employees because only one out of three or four was wearing work clothes. After we weren't noticed any further, but the tables next to us were all served, we grabbed the service and asked if we could order something too. The wait for service took 15 minutes. Another 15 minutes should pass until the warm drinks were brought to the table. They would certainly have been better cold, but what do you expect. We might have also ordered a little something after dinner - but the service staff were more preoccupied with themselves. After it was time to pay, our problem was there again - attracting attention. Ultimately it worked. However, the invoice amount was different than the prices on the menu suggested. But then nothing was rewarded for that.

2 stars for the nice ambience and the food/drink selection. Staff completely understaffed. It took forever for our predecessors' empty glasses to be put away. After 15 minutes we were asked if we had ordered yet. When we said no, the waiter disappeared and never came back. We then took turns going in and ordering ourselves. Of course no card payment. The lady behind the counter who prepared the drinks for us simply charged me and my girlfriend 50 cents more. My girlfriend noticed it straight away, but unfortunately I only noticed it afterwards. So please take a close look at the prices on the menu before you get charged!

No card payment is offered (which was not mentioned when ordering, which meant that in addition to the €9 drink there was a €5.50 fee for withdrawing money), two attempts were made to make us pay more money than the products would have cost. No recommendation.

Very long waiting time during normal operation. Hardly any attention from the service staff. The cake menu is very full but there was only one cake on offer which wasn't on the menu. Have 45min. Waited for service because we wanted to order something ourselves. After 45 minutes we went in and were told that card payment was not possible but we could pay with cash or PayPal (friends). The location is quite nice.

My companion and I had to wait another hour for the train, after which we decided to have a drink at Dolce Vita. The service was incredibly friendly and unobtrusive. She was a master of small talk, service and friendliness. The prices are absolutely appropriate for the location. Everything is less hectic than 300 meters away and the staff made me happy. Unfortunately I can't write anything about the food because we didn't eat anything. Hence my rating.

The food was ok. It's not that pricy so that was good. We sat outside on Sunday afternoon, the sun was shinny, very good afternoon. It was great idea to sit outside. Very cozy and comfy. The staff was friendly and good. Might take some time to find them and ask them, but if you do, they'll do right away. There's only one toilet (uni-sex) which is very clean by the way, so you might need to line up.

The atmosphere is very nice, the waitress is very nice The pizza was okay, rather small, thick dough and the rosemary was very pungent. Only at the end were we told that you could only pay in cash, whereupon we had to go and withdraw money again, which was annoying. Overall quite nice, but not great.

The older waiter is rude and does not treat his customers with respect

I definitely don't recommend this place. The service is rude and the food is terrible.

Not recommended, we waited over 20 minutes for service, after ordering we had to ask again after 15 minutes where our order was. It took a total of almost 40 minutes until we got a drink...

Unfriendly and slow service. Too expensive.

The waiter, an older man, was unfortunately very unfriendly and condescending to us. The fries weren't good either.

Drinks were priced well, but unfortunately the food was a bit overpriced. If you get a small portion and have to pay the price of medium to large. Otherwise it is nice and open and easily accessible and the service is very friendly. Cash or PayPal as card not possible -1

Cake mediocre, service overwhelmed, no soap in the toilet and no card payment possible (in Hamburg, central location, 2024??, I'll think of my part...)

We went to this cafe twice and both times the place was so understaffed. Today we waited 20 minutes for service, and it only came after we made our presence known. We waited another 20 minutes for our drinks and then left and canceled the drinks. Unfortunately the store is extremely understaffed.

I've rarely eaten such bad fries. Therefore it was a special kind of taste experience. Particularly bad.

The waitress and waiter who served us were extremely rude. They asked us to pay for drinks which we had only received a few minutes prior. Drinks which were nowhere near finished. They gave us an old drinks menu with apparently old prices. When we understandably questioned this the waiter was extremely annoyed and rude. Just a hostile experience honestly

The waitress was really rude with us, we didn't finish our beer and she already wanted us to pay ! Really unprofessional . In addition the prices in the card were "old prices" so we have to pay more

Definitely illegal and the rudest serve and waiting staff, gave us the wrong menu prices then blamed us and bumped up the price. The staff are so rude, demanded we had to pay in cash immediately and then no one came to take the payment. DO NOT COME HERE!!

I think people should reevaluate their opinion before saying this is a bad place to eat. Considering how crowded the place is and was today because of the marathon, and all those food orders going to the kitchen at the same time, I think the service was quite nice. The waiters were obviously very occupied but we had our orders coming in quite quickly, about 20 minutes. The burgers tasted good, warm and the fries were crispy. We also had a highchair for our baby and the restaurant heated my babys food free of charge. I do recommend this place, considering the chaotic circuntamces we had a good time.

The service staff was pleasantly friendly and accommodating. The food was good and the atmosphere is cozy and ideal for waiting for your train.

I'm only giving it four stars because we didn't eat anything, just drank something. Very nice service, I have to mention straight away. Nice ambience and cozy location. Of course, when the sun was shining we sat outside, whether on a bar stool, chair, armchair, sofa or small sun lounger, you can choose where you would like to sit. Small snacks or lunch are offered here. Lunch from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. There is also a small toilet on site and very clean, but I would have liked something to dry my hands, unfortunately there was nothing in stock. But otherwise really recommended. Price performance is okay.

The male waitress was extremely rude and pissed off.

Terrible service. Waiters are slow, unfriendly, and kept bringing wrong items to our table. It took easily 40 minutes just to get our drinks (beers!) and they kept speaking German to us, even though we're tourists and said we didn't speak German. The food was okish, but my salad was dirty! The bathroom was also disgusting! Awful experience! I definitely don't recommend and will not be coming back.

We received absolutely friendly service. Drinks were great, food was great and the prices were absolutely ok. With such a central location, the rents are quite reasonable.

When the weather is nice, you can sit here and enjoy a cold beer. Service was friendly. The toilet is very clean.

Very good restaurant environment, nice service and good food

No card payment - no food. How can this be in the middle of Hamburg? What do tourists from other countries do?

We were served very nicely here after a long stroll through the city and the food was extremely tasty. We'll be happy to come back on our next visit to Hamburg.😊👋

Food is OK. Fries are good, pizza and salad are OK. Everything goes worse. Service is good, but a bit understaffed.

At first the ambience was pleasant for a small coffee near the train station. The service was nice but not necessarily fast. The cake was good, but you could tell that it wasn't homemade. In principle, the price/performance ratio wasn't quite right, but in order to shorten the time at the transfer station, it worked.

The location is great but overall the value for money and service is terrible! Completely overpriced and bad cake that comes from the freezer and is defrosted in the microwave (statement from the waitress).

The price is too high for such a service. I do not recommend visiting - no payment by card - a €10 bill causes dissatisfaction and comments that everyone pays with large bills

A nice shop located directly at Dammtor train station and Planten un Blomen. You can make yourself comfortable here. The service is untrained young ladies who don't always do everything right, but OK, they're friendly. Prices are a bit too high for my taste for what you get, but for us it was a nice little stopover between the city and home. We like to take a break here.

The location is very good. The service is nice. But the food and drinks are not good. Worst cocktail of my life.

Unfreundliches und grottenschlechtes Personal nie wieder minus 10 Sterne!!

Die beste Pizza die ich je gegessen habe. Bedienung war sehr freundlich. Getränke und Essen wurden zügig Serviert. Nur das Ambiente war nicht so meins, okay ist mehr die Musik, die nicht mein Geschmack getroffen hat. Aber ansonsten sehr gemütlich.

Die Pizzen waren OK. Die bestellten Penne arrabiata waren Spaghetti und außer scharf nur geschmacklos.

Service super freundlich! Salat war leider nicht frisch, die Pizzen mittelmäßig.

Eines der schönsten Cafés Hamburgs.

Замовляла крильця з картоплею фрі. На смак непогано. Обслуговування звичайне. Рекомендую це місце для швидкого перекусу.

Ambiente muy agradable, silencioso y con buena música. Servicio y comida muy buena!

Leider sehr unfreundliches Personal. Selten sowas erlebt.

Toller Laden. Leckeres Essen , freundliche Bedienung und schöner Ausblick . Preise moderat. Was will man mehr.

Extrem gute Pizza dort, der rest ist durchschnitt

Dolce Vita i currywurst ? 😅 Nur bar bezahlen 🙄🙄

Eine Tüte Pommes, total überwürzt, für 5 Euro mit Mayo aus der Tüte, das geht besser. Vorallem wenn das, sonst freundliche, Personal, versucht, due als die besten Pommes der Stadt zu verkaufen. Nicht verkehrt mit deutlicher Luft nach oben.

Tolle Lage, könnte man was draus machen... Bedienungen allesamt unfreundlich und überfordert... finden den Tisch nicht wieder. Mein Eistee wurde in ein dreckiges Glas eingefüllt worauf oben Dreck herumschwamm. Die Musik die (mit ständigen Aussetzern) gespielt wird läuft über ein Spotify Werbeaccount, sprich man hört immer wieder Werbung, die 10 Euro im Monat für ein Abo wären sicher gut investiert.

Netter Service, leckeres Kuchen. Kaffee okay

Super gemütlich ,sauber und vor allem seeeeehr freundlich

Das Essen und der Kaffee war gut, Abzüge mußte ich geben da Kreditkarten nicht akzeptiert wurden.

Man wird wohl gerne mal vergessen, kann ich bestätigen. Aber, das Holsten war super kalt!

Sehr gemütlich, ganz tolle Pizza, saftiger frischer Kuchen und frischer Ingwertee, alles mit feinem Besteck serviert, super!!

Lots of waiting. Only cash accepted

Have a beer or a coffee here, enjoy the sun and the park. Don’t eat frozen pizza and semi-fabricated food

Naja, 50 Minuten für Pommes, Pasta und Pizza. Qualität okay. Personal gestresst höflich. Nehmt euch genug Zeit! WC gut. Stilles Waser für 7.- €

Ich kann hier leider nur 2 Sterne geben. Die Pizza hat die Qualität einer durchschnittlichen TK Pizza, die Currywurst ist eine Standard Currywurst aus der Fritteuse , ohne Brot oder sonstiges, mit 4,80€ ein Stolzer Preis. Auch das Nudelgerichte war leider höchstens Durchschnittlich. Leider hat auch der Service noch sehr Ausbaufähig, wir haben 3 Bedienungen und dann noch bei der Bar bescheid gesagt, das wir zahlen möchten, mussten aber trotzdem warten. Wer sich nun fragt, warum wir nicht an der Bar gezahlt haben, das war der Plan, ging aber leider nicht, der Herr sagte nur "ich muss ein Mädel mit Portemonnaie suchen"

Sehr leckere Pizza, nette Bedienung und ein sympathischer Wirt. Insgesamt sehr gut.

Cappuccino war gut, Service völlig überfordert.

Super leckere Pizza! Dolce Vita sowas von am Start! Mega nette Servicekräfte 😍 top, top, top

Leckeres Essen, freundliche Bedienung, tolle Plätze zum Beobachten von Passanten ;-) Leider nur Barzahlung möglich

Leckeres Essen in der Abendsonne und wir haben einen sehr netten und aufmerksamen Service erlebt. ABER: KEINE KARTENZAHLUNG.... Ich musste zum nächsten Geldautomaten rennen, sodass wir unsere Bahn nicht mehr bekommen haben. :-/ Leider auch kein offensichtliches Hinweisschild...

Ein wirklich tolles Plätzchen am frisch sanierten Dag-Hammarskjöld-Platz zwischen Dammtor-Bahnhof, Planten un Blomen und Stephansplatz! Wenn man will sitzt man schattig unter einem schönen Laubbaum (!?) oder sonnig auf gemütlichem und schönem Mobiliar. Der Service ist leider nicht sooo aufmerksam und wenn man mit Blickrichtung Planten un Blomen und damit zum Haus abgewandt in den Liegestühlen sitzt, wird man hart ignoriert. Da muss man schon um Aufmerksamkeit buhlen. Das Schwarzbier (ohne Nennung der Brauerei) war leider ausverkauft. Die menschengroße Pommestüte schreit förmlich danach eine Portion Pommes zu bestellen. Diese ist zwar lecker gewürzt und wirklich groß aber leider ist die Konsistenz noch optimierungsfähig. Die Portion Mayo ist für den Preis unangemessen klein. Wenn man eine Bedienung erwischt hätte, hätten sie aber sicherlich noch einen Nachschlag gewährt. ... Hätte. Ich komme trotzdem wieder wegen des schönen Plätzchen! Im Sommer! Im Winter drinnen fehlt mir noch die Fantasie. Obwohl die Toilette ein echtes Erlebnis ist. Leider nur ungepflegt.

Tolles Café in Traumlage. Nettes Personal und schöne Terrasse. Ein zwei Kellner mehr könnten mehr Umsatz bringen und die Gäste sitzen nicht so lange umsonst. Dennoch tolles Objekt.

Probé muchas heladerías en Hamburgo, pero ninguna tenía un helado tan sabroso como este. Tuve avellana, stracciatella y pistacho - almendra. Mi novio es vegano y comió mango y maracuyá. Los dos lo disfrutamos mucho y se puede saborear su buena calidad. Realmente lo recomiendo.

Если вы свернёте с площади Gansemarkt на улицу Gerhofstrasse, то по правой стороне вы сможете увидеть небольшую итальянскую джелатерию Eiscafe "Dolce&Gelato". Ориентиром будет служить рекламный вафельный рожок с тремя шариками джелато - жёлтого, вишнёвого и фиолетового цвета + оранжевого цвета зонт. Себе взяла шарик манго и шарик маракуйи, а муж свою любимую классику - два шарика шоколадного и чашечку эспрессо!!! Очень и очень вкусно! Правда не принимают к оплате карты, только наличные - это мне сразу напомнило питерское кафе с итальянским корнями - "Италия" на Бакунина. Кафе работает c 10:00 - 21:00.
