Don Giovanni Leipzig in Leipzig

We celebrated our daughter's birthday at the restaurant and were absolutely thrilled. We had a professional consultation beforehand. A beautiful table was set for us in the beautiful setting of the conservatory. The food was all delicious and the service was excellent. A truly successful evening. Many thanks to the team.

Very nice rooms, totally playful and beautifully decorated, you can sit great. Depending on the service staff, you could check on the guests a little more often. You wait a little longer even though there aren't even a handful of guests there. But otherwise the food is very tasty and we think the prices are still okay. A Campari Spritz is a very good size for €7.50. You can only get half the price elsewhere.

Leider enttäuschender Besuch. Der Service war mangelhaft – unaufmerksam und wenig bemüht. Der Hauptgang war passabel, aber das Dessert (Panna Cotta) viel zu süß. Wir haben es zurückgegeben, mussten es aber trotzdem bezahlen. Kein Entgegenkommen oder Verständnis vom Personal. Schade – so gewinnt man keine Stammkundschaft. Was mich jedoch besonders irritiert hat: Nach meiner ehrlichen Google-Rezension wurde diese offenbar gemeldet und verschwand. Die Reaktion des Restaurants auf andere kritische Bewertungen ist zudem oft unhöflich, teils sogar herablassend – für mich ein absolutes No-Go im Kundenumgang. Konstruktive Kritik sollte ernst genommen und nicht mit patzigen Kommentaren beantwortet werden.

A place to feel good! The food was sufficient and tasty. The service is unobtrusive and confident. Thank you, we'll be back!

We were there with a large group. The food is so-so for the prices it could be better. The salami pizza was dripping fat, the chicken was also very oily, etc. The rooms look like those of the junk professionals - everything is covered with decorations, so it's a bit tight in some places. The quality of the food is better.

We celebrated our funeral service at Don Giovanni. Our table was beautifully decorated upon request. The waiter was very attentive. The food tasted very good. It was a worthy celebration. We say thank you to the whole team.

The cooking course with Marilu is highly recommended.

Highly recommended cooking course! Marilu is great.

I was completely thrilled! The Italian restaurant far exceeded my expectations. We were warmly greeted as soon as we entered and the service was consistently attentive, friendly and professional. The food was simply fantastic – authentic, fresh and prepared with a lot of love. I would particularly like to highlight the homemade pasta and the pizza from the stone oven - an absolute dream! The wine selection was also excellent and went perfectly with the dishes. The atmosphere was cozy, stylish and yet relaxed - you immediately feel at home. You can tell that people with a real passion for good food and hospitality work here. I will definitely come back and recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Italian food and wants to have a special evening. Bravo and thank you!

13 friends were there....first-class family business, original Italian...ambience Italia feeling...super awesome food in the 4 course menu...friendly and fast...in short I love it...if Italians in Leipzig then there...LG to junior boss Jens from Dresden

The cooking class was very good. The tips were really helpful. The drink service was very slow. But everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Always happy.

We had dinner at the restaurant. You should make a reservation in advance. The ambiance was surprising, but I found it classy and a bit kitschy. The service was excellent. The food—it was a pizza today—tasted like a good pizza should. A few more toppings would have been nice, though. The dessert, creme brulee, was incredibly delicious. Finding a parking space wasn't so great.

We went to the cooking class at Don Giovanni today and were thrilled. With guidance, we prepared a 3-course menu that can also be cooked by non-cooks. It was just delicious. We learned a lot about Italy and its cuisine. The information about olive oil and other ingredients was very informative. I will shop differently in the future. It was clear that Marie loves Italy more than anything and wants to pass on this love. She succeeded. Thank you for the lovely time with you. Kerstin and Heiko

From the food to the service, everything was top notch. We were able to attend a cooking course organized by Mari, we were able to take a lot of things with us and learn new things. This cooking course is a great thing, especially for a birthday present. To all readers, have fun cooking and being cooked for 😇

We asked if we as guests could park in the empty parking lot for hotel guests, as the area is very full of parked cars - we understand that, residents have priority. Unfortunately, we were denied this on the grounds that only hotel guests are allowed to park there. I have no understanding of why an empty parking lot cannot also be used by restaurant guests. The food was OK, but it didn't blow us away. The service could be better. The ambience takes some getting used to. Next time, it will be the Italian restaurant on Jacobstrasse - from the ambience to the food and the service, it's simply amazing.

The Italian around the corner. Every now and then I go there when I want to eat a good homemade pizza. Great, spacious ambience, nice service, very good prices.

We had dinner here on Valentine's Day evening. The rooms were very nicely decorated. Our request was taken into account to get a table at the edge where we could have some peace and quiet. The food itself was very tasty. We decided on the candlelight dinner. As a woman, I got tired of it, but my partner didn't. For €48, it's a bit of a shame that the portions were so small when normal dishes are larger. Overall the atmosphere was very pleasant and we had a lovely evening!

My friend called specifically to make a reservation, we were told no problem, come over in half an hour. The staff then simply hung up without us being able to say anything else. We thought it was okay, let’s just go. We had to walk a long way there because of the cold, only to be cheekily told that nothing was available anymore. Simply bad service! Not recommended

We once again had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Don Giovanni in Leipzig! The hotel is beautifully decorated in Italian style, very romantically located, and furnished with great attention to detail. The rooms are wonderful, and dinner in the adjoining restaurant is always an absolute highlight. The atmosphere is simply unique: everything is very tastefully designed, combined with extremely friendly and professional staff – from the booking process to the farewell. We would especially like to mention the breakfast waiter (unfortunately, we don't know his name), who, with his warm manner, anticipates your every wish and ensures a perfect start to the day. We have stayed here several times and are always impressed. We keep coming back, and we are already looking forward to our next stay. Another plus is the on-site parking, which makes the stay even more convenient. An all-around perfect experience – many thanks to the entire team!

Dear Signorina Marilu, Thank you very much for the very educational and entertaining cooking class on November 17th, 2024 We had a lot of fun, the dishes prepared were very tasty, and the service was very good. We felt very comfortable; the tips and tricks shown when making the individual courses can also be used at home. We were able to enjoy the prepared dishes together at a large table; the service was always nearby to accommodate our requests without seeming intrusive. Gladly again. We chose menu II - "PIATTI DELLA TERRA". A good choice. Keep it up. Thanks.

.......fantastico👌 We had a very nice evening yesterday. An Italian cooking course for 11 people, with very good instructions, entertainment and really good tips for at home and very successful implementation. Highly recommended .😇

I celebrated my birthday there on January 4th, 2025. The food is simply world class and the service is very attentive and friendly. The hotel rooms are clean and tidy. I can only recommend the location because even if you're a diner you will receive friendly service and the food is great and sufficient. Many thanks again to the Don Giovanni team in Leipzig Schwartzestr. 3 R. Haak

Be careful not to order pizza for delivery online! Pizza is not delivered, pick-up only possible. However, delivery can be selected and costs €4.99. Fault lies with the restaurant. No customer-oriented accommodation that pizza is still delivered. Just cancel and you'll be left without food on Sunday evening. We enjoyed being guests at Don Giovanni. Unfortunately not anymore.

We weren't in the hotel, "just" in the restaurant. Food was great. Gladly again.

Pleasant atmosphere, delicious food but the service was inattentive. Ordered drinks were not delivered...

Super delicious food, very nice staff. We ordered for takeaway, so I can't really rate the rooms, but from what I saw, the ambient looks cozy, as well.

I am positively surprised by this hotel! I would wish for everyone everywhere! 100% hospitality, very emphatic. A young-at-heart, older, smart, attractive and lovely lady showed me my room, which is typically Italian furnished. The inner courtyard, the restaurant is awesome! You feel Italy and think you are right in the middle of it, even though you are in Leipzig. Unfortunately it is not barrier-free, just for your information, as there are stairs. A warm atmosphere in general, the best reception I've ever had! Here you experience Italy, here you taste Italy. Breakfast starts at 8:30 a.m., for early risers...go jogging or have a relaxing morning😉. I can experience breakfast tomorrow and then continue writing!

Regarding the restaurant, we were seven people with reservations. The ambience is great, the food is very, very good (even gluten-free pizzas). So far, so good: After ordering a drink after the main meal, we were ignored by the staff for half an hour (!!). That doesn't work at all. We all sat for a long time with empty glasses and might have wanted to order desserts in addition to drinks. So we went to the counter, paid and left. Too bad.

We booked a cooking course here at the Don Giovanni Restaurant with dear friends and were there last Sunday. That was really great!! We prepared (almost) all the ingredients under the expert guidance of chef Marilu and were given a wonderful explanation of how and why certain dishes are prepared. The tips alone for a successful bruschetta were worth their weight in gold and how to distinguish good from bad olive oil gave us all an “aha”. The food was delicious and we enjoyed it in the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant. A real recommendation for everyone who wants to eat delicious food and learn something worth knowing about Italian cuisine in an entertaining way.

Very tasty food and nice staff. We always like to come back.

Very tasty food, super nice and courteous staff. We'd love to come back :D

Great restaurant and best Italian cuisine

Everything ok, gladly again! The Menu2 cooking course with the finest ingredients was a highlight that we remember fondly. Even little things like the olive oil test gave us valuable insights.

I was a guest at Don Giovanni from Friday to Saturday. I had a single room. WiFi is offered but unfortunately I had no reception in my room. The description offers “free parking and free street parking.” The hotel's own parking space still cost €9.50. Whether someone likes the ambience or not is ultimately always a matter of taste. Facts offered that do not correspond to this speak for themselves. The room was clean, the food was good and the breakfast was also very satisfactory. I give the three stars precisely because what is offered and what is available does not match. Either keep your promises or describe them in more detail - unambiguously - or just leave them out. The location - I was in Leipzig for one night on business - was very good for me. I found out about day Don Giovanni's website in advance and compared it with others. Unfortunately, these two points were not correct. Please work on it

Very good food and service. The staff is always nice, especially to the children. It's always a joy to see Grandma too!

My taxi driver had recommended the restaurant to me the day before and I have to say it was a very good tip. The service was very nice, the ambience was definitely an eye-catcher and the food was simply delicious. If I were in Leipzig again, I would definitely make a trip here again.

Wir hatten die Reservierung an einem späteren Tag abgegeben. Das Team von Don Giovanni war jedoch an einem Freitag Abend so flexibel, dass sie uns kurzfristig einen Tusch für 6 Personen organisiert haben. Da Essen war exzellent die Pizzen ausgezeichnet. Das Don Giovanni ein Muss bei einem Leipzig Aufenthalt

Schon beim Reinkommen etwas schwierig: der Kellner, kein Italiener, am Empfang war der deutschen Sprache nicht mächtig! Der Kollege, der uns an den Tisch führte, hatte nicht gehört, dass nicht alle angekündigten Gäste mitkommen konnten und nahm die Bestellung erst nach Aufforderung auf - kann passieren! Der Wein -Nero d‘Avola- war seinen Preis wert! Die Vorspeisen : Tomatensuppe war gut aber nicht richtig warm! Beim Vitello Tonnato war das Vitello gut, das Tonnato schmeckte nicht ausreichend nach Thunfisch und Kapern, zu sehr nach Mayonnaise! Dann warteten wir auf die Hauptgerichte - im kühlen Gastraum und zogen, wie auch andere Gäste (etwas mehr als halb besetzt) die Jacken an - und warteten und warteten! Mein Essen -Wildschweinkeule mit Rotkraut und Klösen- war auf dem großen Teller etwas verloren! Leider war der erste Bissen Kloß und Fleisch zu kalt - gerade mal noch lauwarm. Habs zurückgehen lassen. Was auch freundlich angenommen wurde und versichert, dass es neu zubereitet wird! War dann auch gut. Parallel dazu hatte unser Freund sich auch über seine Calzone beschwert, da auch diese nur lauwarm war. Hatte aber Hunger und ass zwei drittel auf, ließ den Rest zurück gehen weil dann kalt! Schade!

Yesterday we wanted to end the evening at Don Giovanni after a great concert. Unfortunately it was very cold in the restaurant and there were hardly any visitors, including us, who didn't put on their jackets during the course of the evening. The food was only lukewarm given the cold surroundings. We therefore sent 2 out of 3 meals back. Unfortunately, the evening didn't end as beautifully as hoped.

Great ambience, the finest Italian cuisine, friendly and very attentive staff. Atmosphere in which you immediately feel at home. We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights and felt very comfortable.

Since we really like Italian food, we decided to go to this restaurant for our girls' night out yesterday. Even with the drinks the euphoria was gone. There was no life to be found in the Aperol Spritz. So we were hoping for food. The starter didn't have the usual Italian menagere with oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Otherwise the starter was ok. After we had to wait an eternity for it, the main course wasn't particularly filling and the chicken wasn't cooked through. So we could have happily left that out. The highlight of our visit, however, was the cat that ran through the restaurant and was warmly invited by the owner to stay. Because when we signaled that we didn't like it, he told us that it was his cat. So we questioned whether this fits in with hygiene. Since, as the operator has already responded to previous recessions, there are many other restaurants in the city, we will probably prefer one of these next time.

Wir wollten mit Freunden gemütlich zu Abend essen und waren um 19:30 Uhr nicht die einzigen Gäste. Es schien gemütlich, vielleicht etwas zu viel Deko, aber das ist Geschmackssache. Musik lief und die Kellnerin nahm die Wünsche entgegen, die Lieferung dauerte. Das Essen kam, die Lasagne war mega klein und schmeckte säuerlich und das Hackfleisch war kaum zu finden. Die Pizzen waren ok. Gehen 20:30 Uhr verliesen die restlichen Gäste das Restaurant, die Musik ging aus und wir fühlten uns ulkig...sollten wir jetzt gehen? Auf Nachfrage wurde die Musik wieder angemacht uns aber zu verstehen gegeben, dass man dann schließen wolle. Ca. 21:00 Uhr löschte manum uns herum das Licht, die Türen wurden verriegelt und nach dem Bezahlen bat man uns, den letzten Ausgang zu nutzen. Ich glaube, man sieht uns hier nicht wieder. Schade, denn wir fahren sehr gern früher hier, als es noch an Illaienische Gastfreundschaft erinnerte...

Great family-run hotel with nice rooms

We spontaneously went to eat there as a couple. The food was very good and tasty. Friendly service always asked if everything was ok. Pizza and pasta very tasty. Tiramisu dessert is a dream. During the meal we had a nice chat with the Grand Dame and later when we left there was a short conversation about the ambience and the smoking room. We recommend. Always a pleasure when you are in Leipzig.

We were there very spontaneously without a reservation after years, at first they didn't want us there without a reservation. Then we were let in and lo and behold everything was empty. The service was okay, but the food was, like years ago, very little and cold. But well, it still seems to be going well.

I can't say anything about the hotel, but the food in the restaurant is excellent and the service is very good. Really Italian in terms of both the atmosphere and the food (keyword: carbonara without cream, as it should be!) Only recommended!

Great restaurant, very lovingly decorated and top food at a very reasonable price. Gladly again and again!

Well, we were there 2 years ago and stayed for 2 nights. It was really nice, from the room to the breakfast. Nice staff, everything was perfect. But this time, we were very disappointed. The shower head in the room was broken and the toilet service for the sink didn't work for us. The worst was the breakfast. €25 per breakfast for 2 people. We thought we were falling from faith. See picture. There wasn't anything else. The sausage was rancid and had probably been sitting for a while. We only had one cup of coffee. And not to mention the construction site in front of the door. Unfortunately we had no information about the construction site when we made our reservation. We were really looking forward to the hotel because we had a good experience. But this time it was a disaster. It's a shame, the atmosphere in the inner courtyard is really great.

We stayed here in the summer of 2022 when I was visiting to have a major surgery in Dusseldorf (I’m from the USA) when we checked in here we were very stressed and anxious. The staff did everything they could to make a short stay there (until I left for surgery) incredible! They helped us get our lost luggage back from the airlines, set up a romantic dinner for me and my husband to help us unwind a little, and so much more! The food was also delicious as well! Highly recommend :)

We had dinner in the restaurant. It looks inconspicuous from the outside, but the ambience and interior are wonderfully designed. The waiter was very accommodating. We had previously been in Italy for a week and wanted to enjoy some Italian food at the end of our vacation. And that is an absolute pleasure here. We'd love to come back

We pre-ordered and everything worked out great! The staff is very friendly and nice. The food was very tasty and highly recommended. The ambience was very nice and it is really well decorated. Prices are reasonable. So we recommend a visit!!! We will come back in any case.

The restaurant has improved tremendously since he got new servers. The quality of service was previously extremely poor. Now we like to go there again, also because the question for feedback sounds honest again :) The food is sometimes good and sometimes average. But good service definitely makes up for that ;)

Rating restaurant: Nice restaurant and friendly staff. Delicious and large gluten-free selection. All pizza and pasta dishes can currently be ordered contamination-free for an additional charge of €4. I was super satisfied and would love to come back.

The hotel is beautifully decorated with lots of small details without being kitschy. The restaurant was the first Italian to open in Leipzig after reunification. The daughter now runs the hotel and the restaurant. We really enjoyed our stay.

“Tra il dire e il fare c’è di mezzo il mare” (Between saying and doing lies the sea) says an Italian proverb, the same here.... My family and I have known Don Giovanni for a long time and unfortunately I have to say: it is no longer what it used to be. It used to be as promised on the website (... and spoil you in our stylish rooms with only the best of Italian cuisine... the chef presents you with dishes using only high-quality Italian seasonal products.) Today was either An assistant cook is at work, or there is other staff in the kitchen... The ingredients are still of high quality, but unfortunately very poorly prepared. The wild garlic risotto from the daily menu contained more wild garlic than rice and had the consistency of sushi rice. Furthermore, the cook was obviously in love with several women... It was almost impossible to eat because of the salt. Asparagus au gratin as a starter... top in terms of taste and seasoning, unfortunately the asparagus had the consistency of kohlrabi, it was actually raw. This was noted by the waiter and he promised improvement. The entrecôte with asparagus and rosemary potatoes that we ordered came and again the asparagus was practically not cooked. The meat was very good, but no questions were asked about the degree of doneness. An absolute no-go for a restaurant in a hotel. The potatoes were only lukewarm and pretty wrinkly; they had obviously been lying around for a long time. All of this for around 35 euros..... is clearly not a reasonable price-performance ratio. The CARPACCIO TRADIZIONALE had obviously been cut for a long time and the meat juice was already collecting on the plate. In the case of POLLO ALLA GRIGLIA, the mushrooms were so salty that unfortunately they had to stay on the plate. The same problem with the potatoes as with the entrecôte. The children present all had pizza. Unfortunately, this was the only one that was outstandingly good. However, the pizza was forgotten and only brought when asked. The children were the last to get their food. Unfortunately, the salami that was on the salami pizza still had the peel on it... Even in a restaurant that wants to have such a claim, it's an absolute absurdity. A Pizza Funghi was completely forgotten and then had to be taken away. The person who ordered this could not dine with the other guests. Regarding the ambience, it is typical Don Giovanni, actually very nice. Unfortunately, the beautiful glass ceiling of the restaurant was covered with green-blue cloths and all the guests looked as if they were sick, a little green in the face. It should be said that the waitresses and waiters were without exception very nice, friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, a young colleague smelled strongly of sweat, which is not necessarily nice when he serves food. But he was nice. Conclusion: "Dove c'è luce, c'é anchore ombra" - Where there is light, there is also shadow unfortunately unfortunately the quality has deteriorated very much and can no longer be compared with previous visits. I really hope that the team manages to build on its old quality, otherwise in the long term I won't see any sun on the horizon, just rain clouds... This is the fabric of your fortune Addendum to the owner's answer: I assure you that my information is not incorrect. I also think it's a real shame that the owner reacts to criticism like a petulant child instead of using it as an opportunity to change something.

I can't say anything about the rooms, we visited the restaurant (spontaneously without a reservation on a Saturday evening). Incredibly tasty, absolute recommendation. Great and quick service, very nice boss. The next time you visit Leipzig, (at least) one meal in Don Giovanni's restaurant is definitely on the list.

In mid-May we booked a cooking course as a team event at Ristorante Don Giovanni. We were warmly welcomed by the Italian chef Marilu Natale and then assigned to chopping, stirring and kneading. Charmingly but firmly, she guided us through the preparation of the three courses, which also tasted delicious thanks to clear instructions and plenty of good olive oil. At the same time, we learned all sorts of interesting things about Italian culture, original ingredients, the process in the kitchen and that the best way to buy olive oil is in a 5-liter canister directly in Italy. We would like to thank you for the great evening and look forward to coming back. :)

Food was top, service trained and attentive. Small bread basket would have been nice.

I can't say anything about the hotel itself. We ate with the family in the restaurant like every year...

A review can only be given for the restaurant - but this restaurant is a real asset to the south-west of Leipzig. The food tastes great, the bruschetta and pizzas are super tasty. Although the prices are a little higher than what you're used to, the quality of the food, the welcoming atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff make up for it all! We would love to come back!

I can only rate the restaurant. Rather inconspicuous from the outside, but inside it is large and very, very beautiful. The service was very nice and the food was delicious. We were very excited and would love to come back. Il miglior ristorante. Greetings from table 82 on May 9th. to Ariana😀

I can only rate the restaurant. Seeming inconspicuous and small from the outside. But inside it's big and very, very beautiful. I fell in love. The service was very nice and the food was delicious. We were very excited and would love to come back. Many greetings from table 82 today 😀

Thank you very much for the wonderful evening. We went to the cooking class as a handball team. We really learned a lot and definitely had a lot of fun. Plus it was absolutely delicious😋. I can only recommend the cooking course to everyone.

Very good, completely satisfied. ☺️

Wir hatten einen Kochkurs gebucht. Der Abend war ein voller Erfolg. Großartiges Menü, Tolle Köchin und Moderatorin, Personal gesamt super freundlich . Vielen lieben Dank für den tollen Abend, immer wieder gerne

Everything was fine, except for the parking situation... a disaster!

Rating for restaurant. I want to say thanks ! A spontaneous thought, a call and we got 2 places. Fast service, very friendly to your guests. My special request was also responded to. We enjoyed it very much. Any time. We are very happy to recommend Don Giovanni.

Well, I've known the restaurant for several years now, and unfortunately I have to say that it has fallen into disrepair. A candlelight dinner with 2 paper flowers in a glass, a candle on the table, and a buffet costing €10.00 is quite a feat. The food no longer tastes like it used to, the asparagus was still half raw and the creme brulee in the middle was ice cold. The ambience was still a dream, but unfortunately the quality was very poor. Too bad.

The toilet didn’t lock and the door was see-through. 3/10”

Great restaurant can only be recommended

Great cooking class...here we really cook with a lot of love! Great tips for at home. Absolute recommendation!

Were on April 14th. The cooking class was very nice. Detailed explanation, nice atmosphere. I can only recommend it.

I've been there every now and then over the years. This time I was really surprised at the price for less and less food. A pity. Painting supplies for children and the ambience itself were positive, even if it may seem overloaded here and there.

Kind regards to the lovely dad and the very nice colleague from breakfast this morning🙏🤣It was beautiful as always, room 8 was so pretty and the food last night was delicious! We'll be back, like every year!🙏🙏😇

Overall, unfortunately not a recommendation. Positive: atmosphere and rooms Negative: Operation and service; First we waited forever for the food, then the main course came while we were still having the starter and we hadn't even finished our pizza when we asked for dessert. A no-go! The pizza was also tasteless and the ice cream wasn't thawed properly. And at proud prices...

We were here for dinner today (March 31, 2024) with 5 people. The food was, as always, very tasty and the staff was very friendly. We always enjoy going here. Just a good Italian restaurant. 👍

Rating is for the restaurant because we were not in the hotel premises. Went there spontaneously for dinner this evening. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The food is very well prepared and tastes fantastic. The portion size is just right so everyone gets full. The price is a little more expensive than average, but it is also an experience in terms of the furnishings, the atmosphere and the food on offer. Therefore highly recommended!

We had dinner there on a Saturday evening. Reservation was super easy via Open Table, just as you would expect. We were warmly welcomed and had a nice, comfortable table. The order came very quickly and it tasted really good. I can recommend the restaurant to everyone. There is also enough space for larger family celebrations and groups.

Es war nicht lecker und das Personal unfreundlich. Etwas klar war es auch. Im Großen und Ganzen kann ich es einfach nicht weiter empfehlen .

I've never had Italian food as bad as here Food arrived after 1/1/2 hours and was cold, portions small and overpriced. There was no spices for seasoning. We were placed next to the toilets where the smell dominated. But the service staff were all nice

I had the opportunity to use the hotel and restaurant. At the beginning I was a bit overwhelmed by what I thought was a somewhat playful atmosphere. But as the process progressed, I had to admit to myself that everything seemed quite authentic. Details of the Italian lifestyle are hidden everywhere and you can easily escape from everyday life with the right music in the restaurant. The staff is very committed.

Super nice with a live violinist, very good service and child-friendly. Grandma entertained us very well. 😉

Very nicely done. Maybe the look of the ceiling is getting old. The most beautiful area is the entrance,...Super Italian. The food is also great. Can be recommended. VG

We celebrated our son's completion of his education with dinner. The restaurant was busy on Saturday evening, but there were enough and very friendly staff at the start... so the waiting times for food and drinks were completely ok. The starters and main courses were beautifully presented and tasted very good. So overall a very nice evening, I'd love to do it again

I had an excellent meal in the restaurant on February 4, 2024 and was very surprised by the lovingly furnished hotel room. All in all, a very good price-performance ratio for this beautiful ambience. I just had to wait a bit for service, which was probably due to the large crowd. A visit to this restaurant and hotel is therefore highly recommended.

Perfect, the staffs are amazing and super polite and friendly! The food was legit the best!!!

On January 27th, 2024, my girlfriend and I had the 4-course gourmet candlelight dinner. - Organizational matters: Exactly a week before this date, we made a reservation by phone and asked whether there were still places available. The lady was really very friendly and asked what the dinner was for. In our case it was the anniversary, which was later lovingly taken into account at the meal by creating a heart with the respective number on our plates. Arriving at the agreed time that day, we were then taken to our table. - Ambience: When you arrive in the main room, you almost get the feeling of being on holiday. The floor made of stone slabs, plants sprouting on the sides, some stretching along the ceiling and then of course a gigantic fountain with horses in the back of the restaurant create a very special atmosphere. The music in the background wasn't too loud and therefore not intrusive. Everything seemed very clean and well maintained. When we arrived at the table, which was decorated with fresh roses, a candle was lit and we were given a menu for the candlelight dinner we had ordered. The toilets were also clean and well maintained. There was a piece of paper on the floor, but it shouldn't be the restaurant's job to check every guest to see if they know how to behave there. There were trash cans. ;) - Eat: The food was fabulous. In terms of quantity, the portions were just right. In this case it was an advantage that the main courses were also a little smaller so that there was still room for the starter and dessert. We didn't have to wait long for our food either. The time in between was very pleasant. It wasn't too hot, so you could enjoy it straight away. But here too it wouldn't have been a problem to wait until they had cooled down. After all, it was freshly prepared. The combination of the different dishes went together fabulously. You could taste individual spices well. Since tastes are different, it makes little sense to describe this in more detail. You should think about what kind of food you are going to order beforehand. In the end, our expectations were definitely exceeded. We were very satisfied and full too. - Service/operation: Whether it was a waitress or someone from the kitchen who brought us our food, they were all friendly. We were also asked at comfortable intervals whether we were satisfied or whether we wanted something more to drink. Even towards the end it was easily possible to signal with eye contact that we would like to pay. A waitress was also nice enough to take a picture of the two of us. In the end it was quite full and we were still asked if everything was OK with the food. Again, praise at this point. - Conclusion: Because of our satisfaction, there was of course a tip and we went home more than satisfied with a nice memory of that day. In our opinion the price was appropriate for the effort involved. Many thanks at this point to the entire Don Giovanni team from Leipzig. Gladly again - Alex & Sarah

I went there with my family to eat in a nice restaurant. Pizza didn't blow your mind, nothing special I've had much better ones, quite bland

The cooking class was very good. Informative, funny, tasty and very educational. Highly recommended!

Yesterday was a wonderful birthday evening including a little surprise for my girlfriend. The service was very friendly and the atmosphere was wonderful. The food was of course the highlight, meat cooked to perfection and, above all, a menu that went beyond the usual standard Italian offerings. Wasn't the last visit.

Linh Chi was particularly great for us today. Thank you very much Linh 🥰 The food, the ambience… We can recommend everything 🥂

Ganz toller Abend und super Zimmer.Besonderes Ambiente. Besonders war die Junior Chefin Marilu. Vielen Dank für den tollen Abend und das grandiose Essen! Vielen Dank auch an ganze Team! Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Rarely have I eaten such bad “Italian” food. No bread basket, no olive oil/balsamic vinegar with the salad. The children's pizza was okay but neither the "original" carbonara nor the "tagliatelle" with "truffles" had any taste. No towels in the toilet, the disinfectant dispenser is empty. The waitresses tried very hard, that should at least be praised. For us, never again...

Freundliches, kompetentes Personal. Ariane war unsere sehr nette Bedienung mit einem unbeschreiblichen Charme. Vielen Dank für den schönen Abend bei Ihnen.

Nicht so lecker - mal milde ausgedrückt - und das Schwimmbad-Ambiente hat es auch nicht besser gemacht. Service war in Ordnung.

Gestern das erste mal dort essen gewesen und was soll ich sagen? Ich liebe das Ambiente und das Essen war wirklich gut! Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und es ging auch alles relativ schnell. Ich für meinen Teil komme definitiv wieder.

Als Teilnehmerin an einem italienischen Kochkurs anlässlich einer Firmenweihnachtsfeier war ich gestern erstmalig im Don Giovanni. Es war ein sehr gelungener Abend - dank der vorzüglichen kulinarischen Unterweisung, der freundlichen Bedienung und dem sehr schmackhafte Essen. Ein tolles Ambiente und ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis - meine absolute Empfehlung für diese gastronomische Perle im Südwesten der Stadt Leipzig.

Sehr schönes Ambiente,super nettes Personal und sehr gutes Essen!!

Tolles Zimmer, direkt unterm Dach

Finde diesen Ort vom aussehen her ganz entsprechend, die Dekoration waren ganz entzückt. Jedoch war das Essen nicht so beeindruckend, ich hatte eine Lasagne bestellt und als ich sie bekommen habe kam die erste Enttäuschung. Ich habe sehr geringen Käse gesehen, bis zu gar keiner Creme und zu viel Tomaten Soße. Fand ich sehr schade obwohl das Restaurant ganz Kinderfreundlich ist.
