Don Camillo & Peppone in Leipzig

Used to be good, no more than mediocre.

We held our Christmas party here today. The Don Camillo is a very cozy and well-kept restaurant. We had a table on the first floor. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired and we were often left high and dry. We then had to ask the waiter in the kitchen, who was otherwise quite nice. The amount of fillet alla Gorgonzola I ordered was manageable, the steak was good, but the vegetables and potatoes were almost completely burnt so I only ate a little of it. This burning smell always wafted through the room, which we found annoying. I told this to the waiter and he said he says it in the kitchen. Unfortunately nothing more happened. To be honest, I haven't had such a bad meal for 31.90 euros in a long time. The Vitello tonato was solid and the recommended wines were very pleasant. Overall, there are better Italians in Leipzig. It's better not to order a steak.😌

Rarely have I had such a bad Italian meal. It's a shame about the evening. :( The second star is only for the relatively nice service.

Great atmosphere, very funny and nice service.

My pizza was good, but unfortunately not seasoned. I added salt and hot oil and it was very tasty. The tiramisu was okay. Service very good and friendly, we felt welcome. We'd love to come back.

Worst food I've ever eaten in a restaurant, no taste, noodles too soft, the salmon was hard to find. My friends' desserts were loveless, with Aperol spritz you had the feeling of drinking a finished product.

Very good and friendly service, food arrived quickly and was very tasty.

A very spacious restaurant over 2 floors with outdoor seating and a view of the Barfußgässchen. Courteous service, good ambience, delicious food. We celebrated our class reunion and were thrilled. Thank you.

I'm not sure how many times I've been in this restaurant, it's the best Italian restaurant in Leipzig, I recommend it a thousand times. If you want to eat real Italian food with Italian chefs, this is your only option.

It's always a pleasure!!!!! Thanks to the nice service and to the boss Vito.

Very tasty pizzas, nice service

I'm not usually a fan of Italian food, but here it tastes excellent (spaghetti bolognese). Special requests such as "extra spicy" are well catered for, the service is very friendly and the seating is wonderful. Price surprisingly good for the location.

Unfortunately, we didn't have much time, but thanks to the very nice and courteous service, the Italian ambience and the very tasty food, we unexpectedly had another vacation in Italy moment. Thank you for that! Special recommendation: the pizza bread!

Perfection is the only word I can use to describe my experience. Authenticity and perfection in a magnificent wedding worthy of the best traditions of Italian cuisine.

Pizza burnt on the edge, dough relatively tasteless. Overall ok, but wouldn't come back. The spaghetti from the special menu only tasted like tomatoes and nothing else. Based on the fairly good rating of 4.1 stars, it's rather disappointing.

A consistently bad pizza!! A doughy edge that is far too large, but the base is far too thin, soggy and mushy. The topping was concentrated in the middle, so maybe half was filled. Mushrooms and ham of the lowest quality. You can get away better at any street sale!

Fantastic Beef Tartare, with ingenious Parmesan Taco to keep it all in place and with a Truffle kick. The Argentinian fillet was cooked to perfection - rare as every fillet should be! The Gorgonzola sauce was a very good addition. Very happy with the service, good wines. The place looks newly refurbished and classy, very high ceilings give excellent atmosphere. Would recommend!!

Great food, great atmosphere! Marika and Vito, the 2 owners of this great restaurant in Liepzig are just incredible. Marika is a great host and Vito a fantastic chef! Pasta was absolutely amazing! Yummy desserts too! Can't wait to going back there next time I am in Liepzig!

So it's a nice restaurant, but the portions are far too small, which meant I wasn't full (I'm a bad eater) and therefore the price-performance ratio is not guaranteed. You should already be full and when the waitress asked if we wanted to order and we said we would like to wait a little longer, we got a reaction with a blur of eyes. Not really customer friendly.

A new operator since January!!! We were very satisfied - the boss and the boss personally tried to make the guests happy. The chef knows his craft. Someone cooks with passion and love. The service is quick and very friendly, We recommend this restaurant with a clear conscience

Very good Italian cuisine. I had gnocchi that was homemade and top, orecchiette with salsiccia and chanterelles also top. Very inconspicuous but top quality. Thanks Don Camillo

You are greeted and served in a friendly manner, and the staff are very attentive and friendly!! The dishes (like gnocchi) are homemade and taste super authentic. If you're looking for a good Italian restaurant in the city center, I can definitely recommend this one ;)

I went for lunch yesterday and ordered the lunch special, it was super delicious. Highly recommended

Food is pretty bland for a “real Italian” Food came quickly. Service is very nice.

Tasted good, but far too little, and my food was brutally hot. That from a friend is almost cold. Simply brutal tourist trap

Fast ordering, slow service. The waitress only said after 36 minutes that there were no pistachios, so we ordered again: Pizza Italia. Current waiting time: 1h15min.Very average pizza, could have used a little longer in the oven, doesn't seem like a stone oven. The Italia had a little less than a teaspoon of very watery Petso on it. In this case, “On the Italia” only means on the Burrata. All in all, perhaps an isolated case but not recommended for the high prices.

Okay, of course, downtown, tourism... but... So the carbonara looked better in the pictures, maybe the chef had a bad day. There was nothing creamy about it. Too bad. And for the price (yes, city center) it's disappointing... Maybe a pizza instead...

Delicious pizza, price is right

Good location Food under any italian standards We ordered steak, pasta and pizza. All 3 dishes were average. Disappointed!!!

Excellent food, service and environment. I would happily stay here again

Very happy to have come across this restaurant during my stay! Top notch service and cuisine! I highly recommend!!👌

Extremely delicious meal with quality service

Excellent, the dishes are remarkable, the staff is very attentive to customers, I highly recommend

Very pleasant and friendly place, thanks to Florent for his energy.

A restaurant serving authentic Italian cuisine, warm service, special mention to our very pleasant server Florent. We will come back with pleasure. 😇👌🏻

The wine is amazing the prices are fair. The owners and especially the incredible bartender recommend,,♥️♥️♥️♥️

Very good welcome from employees We eat well there, I recommend 👍🏼

Very good food, fresh produce, attentive and friendly waiter. Very satisfied with this restaurant

Beer tastes like piss. Pizza too thin, with minimum ingredients and soggy in the middle, and all ingredients displaced. Would gladly never come here again.

Un endroit et un accueil chaleureux avec un service au top et une cuisine de qualité ! Je recommande fortement pour les amateurs de bonne cuisine.

excellent , food , service, place

I was today in this restaurant with my wife and my son. We take two pizzas and one spaghetto carbonara, that was by the way delicious. Service was friendly and food was Amazing. Good choice

We were very satisfied with our visit. The food was delicious (we had the pasta with beef fillet tips and bruschetta as a starter), plus drinks. The service quick and polite. Price-performance ratio top. The only point of criticism... The corner of the table was dirty and was not changed or cleaned. We did this ourselves as best we could. Therefore points deducted here..

We had lunch on Saturday and were very satisfied, the food was very tasty and fast service, service was very nice. We had an antipasto della casa a salad and 2 carbonara. Highly recommended.

Not recommendable. Unfortunately I didn't have a good experience there. Despite the fact that there wasn't much going on, the staff was annoyed and unapproachable, the plates were all chipped and badly "repaired" and the food was poorly seasoned and poorly presented. At an Italian RESTAURANT with hefty prices, you expect more of everything.

Pizza was excellent, mixed salad was puny

One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten, including those in Italy

The food is actually really bad...

Mediocre pizza with ok ingredients (didnt taste as fresh as expected), very Nice staff and location is very nice, but it felt like they were a bit overwhelmed by the amount of visitors in relation to the EURO game. Maybe much better when it’s a bit calmer

The quality of the products is sufficient, the carbonara is not up to par. Starter of very few and poor cured meats. Super friendly and helpful Italian waitress!

Thank you for introducing the new appetizer. Really impressive 😍

Wow. For those of you traveling to Germany but still want to eat Italian food, you can come here 😍 it's really delicious

Leckere, echt italienische Speisen. Nette Bedienung. Pizzabrot sehr zu empfehlen. Außenposten ansprechend. WC sauber, aber nicht behindertengerecht, da im Keller.

There were two of us and we ate well, service was friendly and professional. We will be back definitely.

I had lunch at Don Camillo, I really liked the atmosphere and the quick service. The drink arrived promptly and cold. I waited a bit for the pizza but it was worth it, also because there were already quite a few people. I'll be back

An amazing Italian restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were courteous and friendly. Will recommend 👌 💯

Friends told me about this place and told me that if I wanted to eat good pizza, this place is not to be missed, and he didn't lie to me, I had a great time, the team gave me a warm welcome. very warm, I really felt Italy there, thank you, I will happily come back

Unfortunately our visit wasn't really great. When we pointed out that the topping on the Burrata pizza was sour, there was no response from the service. We expected at least one reaction. Unfortunately completely careless. The spaghetti was good for that. A pity

In the middle of the chic hotspot of Leipzig. You probably don't have to make a particularly good effort to receive guests. The food was a total disappointment. Vegetables still almost frozen, fish not cooked through, everything cold and pretty tasteless. There is definitely a lack of love for the job. An hour's wait despite the restaurant being almost empty.

The food was very good / salad / pizza and pasta friendly service and prices that are "normal".

I had the pleasure of having dinner at the "Don Camillo&Peppone" restaurant and I was particularly impressed. The atmosphere is welcoming and the service was impeccable, with the staff proving kind, attentive and always available to our requests. But the strong point of the place is undoubtedly the cuisine. In this place you will have the opportunity to taste typical products of Italian cuisine. It is a culinary experience that I highly recommend to all gastronomy enthusiasts

Great service, very attentive waiters. The food was incredible. carpaccio, pizza, pasta and the homemade desserts all perfect. Gladly again:)

Relaxed restaurant at the end/beginning of Barfußgässchen. Friendly and fast service. We were just here for a coffee and an ice cream. Unfortunately ice cream without cream... but with waffle.

Welcoming environment, impeccable service and superlative cuisine. I will definitely go back. I highly recommend.

Will try again as soon as possible I highly recommend it.

Fantastic place, I went there with my family and everything was excellent. Welcoming staff, impeccable service and Chef Vito's dishes are TOP! In this restaurant you will find the flavors of traditional dishes. Congratulations, I will gladly return. See you soon!!

the food is ok, the service was quick. Our plates were broken, a no go for a restaurant! and the billing was incorrect. When I wanted to see the bill, the service person mentioned that they had overcharged. there was no apology. I've already left her a generous tip, but there's really no need to sneak out more tips like that. we won't come again!

Very welcoming restaurant, large and comfortable terrace, fast and attentive staff. Excellent and very varied food. A good compromise between quality/price

The service was very friendly. Unfortunately we didn't like the food (except for the starter). The starter was a WGT special. The margherita was very bad (very hard, salty and slightly burnt). The tomato soup didn't have a nice flavor either. The coffee was bitter.

We were visiting Leipzig today and wanted to have a really good time. So we decided on an Italian restaurant. We ordered a salad and a pizza. The salad was anything but what we expected. A strip of pepper, a slice of onion, half a tomato and the rest consisted of huge lettuce leaves that were just supposed to make the plate look full. The price is outrageously expensive for what you get served. The pizza arrived at the table so carelessly prepared and was absolutely nothing special (Pizza Tirolo €16). Advertised with smoked cheese and special ham (absolute opposite was served and very disappointing. We advise against a visit to this restaurant.

Very friendly service and the food was just as good. Ambience could be a little more comfortable.

We were disappointed with the restaurant, the food and the drinks. The location of the restaurant is good. You can watch the scene in front of the restaurant while eating. The beer served was undrinkable. The smell clearly indicated it. My red wine Montepulciano was flat in taste. The mixed antipasti were okay. The noodles were either cooked too long or too short The lasagne was only lukewarm. The service was fine. There are much better restaurants in Leipzig. A visit is not recommended.

You really have to give it a 10/10! Extremely delicious, always with pleasure

Very courteous and professional service. Good food at reasonable prices. Overall, with a good price/performance ratio in a best location, highly recommended.

Delicious Italian cuisine in a nice atmosphere with very nice service. We'll definitely come back.

A beautiful restaurant, the food was simply fantastic. Great location and very nice atmosphere. If you want to eat traditional Italian, this is the right restaurant! Service was perfect, everyone was very, very nice. Definitely recommended.

At first glance the restaurant looked very inviting and good. The other guests' food also seemed appealing. The menu is manageable, well sorted and generally offers fair prices. As an aperitif I had a Negroni. Unfortunately, this one probably had water in the recipe instead of gin. That can happen, but it's not that bad. We ordered two pizzas. After 50 minutes I asked if they had forgotten our order since all the guests around us had already gotten food. After much back and forth we were told that the chef had burned the pizza and he could now start with a new one. We didn't want to wait any longer for 15 minutes and paid. Basically it's not a bad thing and it can happen sometimes. However, I found the treatment of us as guests very unpleasant, as there was only a short "sorry" and nothing else was done to keep us as customers. I think we would have waited the time with, for example, a little something at the expense of the house, but because we were hungry and had to deal with it, we went somewhere else. We won't be coming back either, as the range of good restaurants in Leipzig is simply too large to offer something like that. A pity.

The four of us had a lovely evening and had a delicious meal. We were very satisfied with the service and quality of the food. The restaurant is highly recommended and we would like to come back again.

Very very nice staff. Great food!! Everything tastes very good. The food always looks really good and is prepared with love. And there are homemade cakes and dessert.

We always enjoy coming here at “Don Camillo & Peppone”. Very friendly staff. We are always served to our complete satisfaction. Very neat and tasty food. Lots of homemade dishes and desserts. Come back soon 😀:)

Very pleasant atmosphere. We went to eat soup, we were satisfied, it was very tasty

Antipasti disappointing in terms of quality and very little for the price. Pizza was okay, service too

Very nice atmosphere and decent food

We were there on Valentine's Day and we really enjoyed it. The decoration was really very romantic and the table was beautifully set. The service was very polite and accommodating. The food tasted delicious. The only small criticism is that the portions could be a little larger. All in all the visit was very nice.

Everything taken from Shiny Flakes.Respect

A great restaurant. Nice atmosphere, but sometimes it was a bit too quiet that you hardly dared to talk. Otherwise: food very tasty, service very nice and afterwards. The only thing that isn't so nice is that you have to leave a few minutes before closing time.

Pizza was burnt. Price-performance underground. There are better options around here.

An extraordinary culinary experience! The Spaghetti al Pomodoro was delicious, perfect consistency and authentic taste. The atmosphere in the restaurant radiated cosiness and created a welcoming atmosphere. The chef showed exceptional talent in adding a gourmet twist to traditional Italian dishes, such as adding chopped pistachios, which made the meal truly unique. The waitress service was impeccable, professional and helped make the entire experience even more memorable. A restaurant that can be recommended without a doubt!

Wooow! Stunning place, excellent service, creative and delicious dishes... I recommend it to everyone!! I will be back..

I'm happy to finally have a local restaurant! The quality of the food is always first class and the service is courteous and friendly. Whether with friends, family or just alone as a woman, it is always a pleasure.

Very tasty food at a fair price. The service is nice and attentive.

When we came at 7:30 p.m. there were only two guests there besides us. That should have given us something to think about straight away. The dining room was very cold. Spaghetti Bolognese was okay. The dish of the day too. But the lasagne is an imposition: about 10 × 10 cm, looks like the frozen lasagne and unfortunately tastes the same and was also cold at the table. Wine also very mediocre.

Auch wenn wir ein Missverständnis hatten mit der Platzbuchung, hatten wir dennoch die Möglichkeit bekommen zu essen und zu trinken. Der Service war super und absolut zu vorkommend. Es schmeckte großartig und hatte eine angenehme ruhige Atmosphäre. Ich komme deswegen immer wieder gern her!

Das Restaurant liegt etwas abseits der hektischen Innenstadt. Pasta und Pizzen war sehr lecker. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Die Getränke und Speisen wurden sehr schnell serviert. Die Preise waren gut. Wir werden bei einem Aufenthalt in Leipzig gerne wieder hier Essen.

Schönes Ambiente, sehr freundliches Personal. Pizza sehr sehr lecker, ebenso die Kürbissuppe. Alle anderen Speisen auch gut bis sehr gut. Kann das Restaurant bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen!

Essen war in Ordnung und Bedienung auch.

Leider hat die Chemie nicht gestimmt,die Situation wurde nicht besser... Wir kommen nicht wieder! Das Essen war kalt... Sehr Schade!!!

Essen sehr lecker, waren in der 1.Etage. schönes Ambiente super kompetentes und sehr zuvorkommendes Personal. Das essen wurde innerhalb kurzer Zeit serviert. Pasta ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Sehr gutes essen, ein angenehmer service im gemütlichen ambiente.

Super Essen und schnelle und zuvorkommende Bedienung. Sehr zu empfehlen
