Gaia Restaurant in München

We waited there to eat before the concert. The service was very friendly. The food arrived quickly and was very tasty. I was able to get around easily, even with a wheelchair.

Nice location, good food - sometimes a bit stressful at peak times at the Philharmonie - generally recommended.

We go through an SWM agreement, but in general there is a lot of movement of people, good options to eat

A great place to eat and spend quality time together. Extremely delicious Italian food. Very friendly service. Great cuisine and a cozy atmosphere. I'd love to come back. Thank you.

We were there for the pub quiz and had a fantastic evening with great questions and delicious drinks. We'll definitely be back!

A small but fine menu with high-quality, delicious Italian dishes. The seasonally changing salads, for example, with creamy burrata, and more unusual pizza creations like the pizza vitello are particularly recommended. We've been there twice now for the summer pub quiz. Very cool prizes, and the quizmaster was just as charming as the rest of the staff. It's just a shame that the terrace is so shady, even in summer. There are patio heaters for the evenings, though.

Super Italian restaurant. Great for Gasteig concerts.

Nice staff, great food and very nice ambience :)

As a family of four, we've been to Gaia a few times now. The food was always very good, the service was sometimes better, sometimes good, sometimes a little less so. This time it was excellent, courteous, fast, and family-friendly. We were then invited to take part in the quiz, and since our children didn't have to go out the next day, we stayed for an hour. It was great, fun, nice people, a good atmosphere, and challenging questions, but great. Thank you very much, and see you next time.

A wonderful evening with delicious food, great service, and a fantastic musical performance by David Lennis. Please repeat the event; we would love to come back.

It was another truly lovely evening at Gaia! The food was delicious and the service was always charming. We'll be back!

Highly recommended! Fantastic food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. Every bite was a delight; we'll definitely be back.

Best pizza in a long time! The crust was crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and the tomato sauce was fruity and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they use fresh ingredients. Simply good, genuine food in a relaxed atmosphere – that's exactly how pizza should taste. Super friendly and helpful staff.

The service was very charming! The food was absolutely delicious, definitely try the pizza! All in all, it was like a short vacation in Italy.

We ate here on the terrace on a Thursday; the salad and pizza were excellent. I don't understand the bad reviews due to poor service. The staff was always friendly and on the ball. The live music on the terrace rounded off the evening nicely. It wasn't too loud, and the selection of songs was well-balanced.

We went to Gaia Restaurant one evening when an event was being organized: a very pleasant atmosphere with music, an Italian restaurant with very good pizza, fast and friendly service.

Great atmosphere, great food and very friendly, helpful staff👍🏼

On Thursday, we ate pizza at Gaia. The pizza was great and the servers were friendly. By chance, we happened to catch an evening with live music on the terrace. Cool event! We'll definitely be back!

We come here often and love it. The food and service are fantastic, so we highly recommend it!

Very tasty pizza. It can be crowded and hectic during concerts.

Unfortunately, we were not served for ages, even though we pointed out that we did not have much time

Seriously substandard experience. Service is chaotic, noone seems to know what they are doing, took forever to get served. The food was COLD and miserable to eat, and totally lacking in any presentation. Service is not friendly, they act more irritated with their customers more than anything else. It could be a really good experience because of their location, but never again.

Great location. Perfect for summer. Fair prices. Delicious food

Extremely unfriendly, total chaos, asking you not to sit down because you won't be served anyway because the waiters don't have time. It's a joke. No one runs the place.

Terrible service. Overwhelmed and unfriendly. Food was okay, but not great. A shame. The HP8 location should be better organized.

This was by far one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. The food was a disgrace—tasteless and tasted like cheap, ready-made sauces from a packet. The server was unfriendly, listless, and made us feel unwanted. The service was abysmal. Our friends had also been there and had exactly the same bad experience. The prices are outrageous for such a miserable standard. A complete disappointment—we strongly advise everyone against it!

The four of us sat inside for pizza and were completely satisfied. The service was extremely attentive, the pizza was delicious, and the atmosphere was great. The only thing was that the Prosecco we had with it didn't taste good from the bottle. The Lugana, however, was even better! We'd go back anytime!

The drinks distribution during the “Night of Long Music” was poorly organized, there were too few staff and waiting times were too long

I rarely leave bad reviews, but the service at this restaurant was absolutely unacceptable. From the moment we arrived, the waiter took forever to even get to us. Then he acted like we were a burden. No greeting, no smile—just attitude. When we asked a simple question about the menu, he rolled his eyes and gave a snarky response. It only got worse from there. Our order took forever to arrive, and when it finally did, it was wrong. Instead of apologizing, the waiter blamed us for the mix-up. No check-ins, just a cold, dismissive attitude the entire time. We felt completely unwelcome. There are too many great places in town to waste time and money on a place that treats customers like this. Definitely won’t be coming back.

If you have a reservation and get a table after a concert, you will be ignored as soon as you sit down. After 20 minutes of unsuccessful attempts to order, we left. There are other restaurants in the area.

Yes, definitely!! We ate great, the service was perfect 😃

It's a shame if you're only told when you're paying that card payment isn't possible. Then looking for the last pennies together makes the stay a little more difficult.

We didn't have a reservation but the waiter quickly organized a place for us even though the place was completely full except for two tables. Food was delicious. Service was very friendly. Absolutely nothing to complain about.

Anytime and gladly again, well organized and pizza very tasty.

Overall there is nothing wrong with the food. It's good but nothing special. Service better than expected from previous reviews, but the guest still needs to attract attention. The restaurant is very noisy and the tables are too close together in my opinion.

Kitchen very tidy, service completely overwhelmed and disorganized, although peak times for concerts could be planned. The kitchen ventilation is inadequate, so that after dinner (and before the Placido Domingo performance) all (!) clothes smell of grease.

Five stars for the thought alone! Cell phone almost turned off, then discovered the machine and grabbed the power bank. Service level: 100!

Were there for the second time yesterday, the pizza is simply unbeatable!!!! Best regards to the kitchen!!!! But the service... we had a slightly smaller woman with long hair as the waitress... wow... lousy fries, bad mood, no thanks, no please, no one came to order drinks again or to take the empty plates with them... It's a real shame because the pizza is really good! It's best to just take it with you and eat by the water :) Unfortunately you won't see us in the restaurant anymore

Very tasty food, pleasant service, again at any time

Unfortunately not a good price-performance ratio, food bland and overpriced, service inattentive and slow

Completely overpriced. Benefits solely from the location to the HP8. Service neutral to unfriendly. Tiny tiramisu for 10 euros - a joke. There are plenty of better restaurants in the corner.

A dream for every hipster, but a nightmare for everyone else. As an "Italian restaurant" not even having pasta classics, but only offering some hipster variants and pizza only in the evening, is an absolute disgrace. The “service” in general has never been looked up in the dictionary. Next time, I'll order something from McDonald's to the door before the concert!

You should either update your menu or stop charging people for what is not on the menu! I ordered red wine which you had only!!!! Wrote the price for 0.1 for 6 euro something on the menu...then you charge me for double because you bring me 0.2 which is not even showing on the menu? Come on...there are better ways to do business.

Terrible experience. A waitress by the door could not speak english, so she let me sit down. After 10 minutes of waiting came another waiter with a menu. While reading the menu, he came back to ask me if I had a reservation, which I had not. He kicked me out of the nearly empty restaurant! Never again. The best part is when I met my two colegues, who came into the very same restaurant 10 minutes after me without reservation and were normally served!!!

Unfortunately, a waiter caught our attention very unpleasantly due to his rude demeanor. The rest of the staff, on the other hand, were extremely helpful and friendly and the food was extremely delicious!

Unfortunately, the offerings at the Gaia Bar and the snack bar in Gasteig HP 8 are not good at all and are overpriced. The sandwiches are flabby and taste like nothing, the wine is way too expensive and warm, the cappuccino with H milk. It's a shame, the Vhs participants and lecturers are there every week and would unanimously want a better, cheaper offer.

I can only rate the small café in HP8 and not the restaurant itself. But nice service, who also let me take my coffee and other goodies with me to my learning spot, even though I had their dishes etc. I also got a tray so I can carry everything as comfortably as possible. Sandwiches were great and were a positive surprise.

Unfortunately not recommended! Mass processing! Bad food, bad service!

I actually didn't want to be influenced by the bad reviews and see for myself. Unfortunately we were obviously very unlucky with our waiter. Although the restaurant was still almost empty when we arrived at 5:40 p.m. and it only filled up after 6 p.m., we received the starter late and didn't get the pizza at all! We pointed this out to the waiter several times and asked how it was possible that all subsequent guests received the pizza before us. The answer was no apology, but rather “we would have had a starter”. After 60 minutes of waiting and the announcement that we would probably have to cancel if the food didn't arrive within the next 10 minutes, he said we should just cancel. We did that and went to the Philharmonic hungry. Unfortunately, the sandwiches offered there weren't tasty at all! It's a shame that such a poorly run restaurant has such a great atmosphere. Although the waitress who served our next table was quick and friendly. The guests at the next table left the restaurant satisfied after a complete meal followed by coffee, just as we received our starter.

The food was delicious, as on our previous visit. Unfortunately we had to wait a very long time for our food. Apparently the kitchen didn't process the receipts for pizzas in the original order, so one table was clearly late and ordered two pizzas, as we did, but was already finished eating before we got our pizzas (over 40 minutes after ordering). . Even friendly service can't save it if the organization in the kitchen isn't quite right.

A bit very hectic, if the restaurant manager hadn't intervened, we would never have gotten anything to eat

Unfriendly waiters very expensive

Service was great, although the waiter himself seemed to struggle with the narrow seating and seemed to have problems getting to the tables. The prices are rather high, the proximity to the HP8 is probably used, but the restaurant is fine for this purpose.

Great location, inviting, very friendly waiters, food great! We'd love to come back!

dirty glasses, except for one young colleague, unfriendly staff with chewing gum in their mouths, food for 4 people comes so far apart that the first portions are already cold or eaten, 2 years ago the atmosphere was much more comfortable

Good gastro in itself, only one minus point: it's a bit outrageous to sell the finished Aperol Spritz from the bottle in the HP8, to which only a small piece of orange is added, for 8.80 euros! 5 euros would be enough too!

We don't understand the negative reviews from previous guests at all. The service was friendly and accommodating & the food was OUTSTANDING! Of course we will come back! Grazie Mille!

We were warmly welcomed and felt comfortable from the start. The food was delicious, the prices are okay for Munich standards. The TasteTwelve voucher book was accepted without any problems and the cheaper dish was free. The Grappe on the house at the end rounded off the evening nicely. Recommended!

Very good food and extremely hospitable team

The most delicious pizza, super-friendly and competent service, especially from waiter Nello, and a cozy atmosphere make a visit here a wonderful experience!

Before an event I had a very good meal with my girlfriend.

The proximity to the HP8 is practical. However, the shift manager in service yesterday was so rude that his behavior overshadowed the entire visit and we will never visit this restaurant again. Despite a reservation, my family and three adults were seated at a table that would have been very small for two people. The group of three directly after us got the larger table we had reserved. In general, the tables are placed extremely close to each other. Later, a friendly service person accidentally misunderstood an order from our table and the wrong pizza was brought to our table. Unfortunately, when the shift manager discovered the wrong pizza at our table, he was extremely rude and unprofessional and didn't apologize for it. There were apologies from the service employee who had misunderstood the order and the correct pizza was also delivered. The outrageous behavior of the shift manager is absolutely unjustifiable and we won't be coming back, there are plenty of pleasant alternatives near the HP8.

Sorry, but I was very disappointed that the restaurant was overcrowded, extremely loud, the waiters were overwhelmed and in the end no card payment was possible. Never come back.

Great pizza. Service friendly, but overwhelmed by the number of guests.

The waitress was constantly chewing gum and waited 20 minutes just to order drinks despite the restaurant being almost empty. Tables full of used dishes and glasses, and incredibly noisy there.

Excited from the first minute. Super friendly welcome, beautiful, simply elegant atmosphere. Even our dog was specially greeted by the boss 😍. Absolutely friendly staff, short waiting time and rarely had such good pizza. Come again.

The price is for luxurious dishes, and the portion is for a baby, but the pasta is hard.

Great food as part of the beef menu

Service disaster. A lady throws everything. But everyone is deeply relaxed and chats with guests for several minutes, even though the finished pins were left on the counter for 15 minutes and got cold. No parallelization whatsoever. We were also not allowed to get menus while we were cashing in with lots of musing. Even though it wasn't busy anymore, we didn't see our food until 70 minutes after we were seated. Taste ok. Reasonable price-performance ratio with Groupon promotion.

cozy and romantic attractions, Italian, very pleasant, I felt comfortable. Friendly👍 Thank you! We'd love to come back!

Juice shop! Extremely bad service, you wait over half an hour for a drink at peak times, not to mention food! Completely unstructured and overwhelmed, not recommended! Totally unprofessional! No excuse if you complain! Never again!

Super friendly even when there is a lot going on. Always happy again.

The menu is very well designed. The dishes are exceptional and taste good. Despite the restaurant being full, we didn't have to wait long for our order. But the staff is obviously overwhelmed with the restaurant being full. We would have to wait an eternity for the bill, despite the many people waiting on the table outside. That was strange😬 Unfortunately it's also very loud inside and it's difficult to have a conversation there.

We had reserved for 6 p.m. and then had to wait in line for about 15 minutes. Then two ladies who had just had their cappuccino were asked to clear their table for us in front of us. Then the four of us were seated on this table for two. We did not receive extra chairs from service but from other guests. Food was actually quite good. The service neither apologized nor feigned regret. Once is enough…

Unfortunately, the service here is overwhelmed when the restaurant is full before a concert in the Isarphilharmonie. You have to call the waitress over and over again to order drinks and food. If you order wine that is priced at 0.1l on the menu, 0.2l will simply be brought and charged without asking. The side salad was served 5 minutes after the main course. We were put off several times when paying and then spontaneously cashed in at two other tables on the way to us. No one asked whether the food was tasty. It's not good to sit on the benches. These are uncomfortable and far too low. The taste of the food was okay, the pizza was better than the burger. I would have expected more from the homemade bread roll.

There is still room for improvement here. Food was OK - but a bit tasteless. The young waiter tried very hard, but unfortunately his colleagues were damaged in other ways.

Despite reservations, unfriendly request to leave. We had booked a table for 2 people at 6:00 p.m. The reservation was confirmed by the restaurant for the period 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. At 6:45 p.m. we were very rudely asked to leave because several people were waiting for a table. I understand that you want to increase sales before the concert at HP8, but then you can't throw out guests with a reservation for 1.5 hours after 45 minutes, or you have to fundamentally rethink the reservation system.

Modern restaurant with mostly older guests who want to eat something before an event at HP8. Higher-priced Italian dishes are served. My wife and I chose a Pizza Diavola (with chili, Spianata Calabrese, Nduja) and Pizza Capricciosa. Both were well baked, had plenty of toppings and the Diavola was really spicy. The non-alcoholic Codrino spritz was pretty good too. Be careful with the open wine: the prices for 0.1 liters are shown on the menu. However, if you order a glass, you will receive 0.2 l. (The service probably doesn't always indicate this.) The "Gaia Restaurant" isn't bad, but we didn't really get excited about it.

Terrible restaurant, fully empty at 7pm and they had a total of 5 mains available (one of which is pasta with butter). Their excuse was we don’t have a pizza maker at the moment. Perhaps a good idea is to add a few extra main dishes or communicate this ahead of time! We had ordered drinks before being told anything about the kitchen situation. Crazy over priced 25€ for 2 drinks and a lemonade

I visited the Gaia restaurant last night and absolutely loved it! We received a warm welcome as soon as we entered, and the service was first class throughout the evening - attentive, friendly and unobtrusive. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish at the same time, so you immediately feel at home. The selection of food and drinks is varied, and the quality of the ingredients is evident in every bite. The prices are absolutely fair for the high quality that is offered. Overall, a thoroughly successful evening. I highly recommend Gaia and will definitely be coming back soon!

Starter platter and pasta as a main course were ok. For the Köseplatte, slices of cheese were crumbled onto the plate🙈

Hello everyone, Now I have to stand up for Gaia... we were there yesterday before the Vicky Leandros concert, we had reserved and it was very full. We had very nice, friendly and courteous service, delicious food and the payment was quick. We were even given a drink because they thought it would have taken a little longer... but we're only talking about 5 minutes. So, all in all, a successful event and a nice experience. We'd love to come back ☺️

Big disappointment. The pizza was good, the Vitello Tonnato too, and the antipasto (cold meats) was manageably small. The Tafelspitz main course was not good. Tough as leather, it's almost a good thing that this portion was so manageably small. The waitress just shrugged that the food wasn't good. The salad was totally frozen, inedible. Since we didn't see a waiter anymore (there was no replenishment of water and the cleaning of the kitchen was noisy in progress (shortly after 2100), we got up and paid at the bar. The service was no longer visible at the table, after dessert was brought.

It can't get any worse. Let Aperol Sprizz go back 3 times because of dirt and insects in the glass. Glass was exchanged, but the drink was only spilled. The cocktail tomatoes on the pizza tasted old and fermented. With the pizza we got chili oil with a deceased wasp in a jar. The waiter reacted extremely unfriendly to our complaints. We were there with a Groupon voucher, the meal had already been paid for, otherwise we would have left before the meal.

Very unfriendly! Food is good, but poor service and arrogant employees

There were two people waiting and they both had the Black Tiger prawns on a summer salad. Was served quite quickly, the three prawns were cold. The salad was more like a side salad. In my opinion the sauce was cocktail sauce from a bottle and there was way too much of it. In the salad, which obviously came directly from the cutting machine to the plate, there were several pieces of lettuce that were still tightly attached to each other and had to be pulled apart first. When I found the third stalk of lettuce, I stopped eating. The “pizza bread with garlic” only came when we asked; the waiter apparently didn’t realize that this was part of the dish. To charge €23.90 for this impudence is Munich satire. The service itself was otherwise fine. The salad with the lettuce stalks was not charged. However, I won't go to this store again.

Ordered the Black Tiger Prawns on summer salad for lunch. Sounds great! Got a side salad with shrimp. 23.90 euros 😂😂😂 Garlic bread was a few small rolls with a little oil...garlic? My wife had the linguine, which was cold. Maybe the pizza is good, good luck🤞🏻

Unfortunately it was not open despite a reservation confirmed in writing; four other guests had also made reservations. Nobody available.

Were there as part of a closed party of around 90 people. The ambience is nice, but the service is poor and, with a few exceptions, the staff is unfriendly and unprofessional. Despite the fact that the number of guests and food preferences were clear months in advance, some guests had to wait 1.5 hours for the main course and were then informed (already after 10 p.m.) that the dish they had ordered in advance was no longer available. Not recommended for holding birthday parties and similar (closed) parties.

Unfortunately really not good. Not only were the prices high, but so was our food. Service was very abrupt and annoyed even though there were not 5 tables occupied. That's too little overall! As a guest, I don't want to be a burden to anyone and therefore forego another visit.

We had reserved a table before a concert. The staff was clearly overwhelmed, we had trouble getting a drink, and we were able to order food but didn't get anything. It was over 90 minutes!! That does not work like this!!

Are you even perceived as a guest here? We left after 20 minutes and no one came

Completely empty restaurant in the morning, but they don’t allow me to sit down for a coffee, saying seats outside is for eating. But there was NOBODY at all

Location with a terrace very pleasant to sit on, ideal before the concert. Prices a bit overpriced. Absolute minus points: extremely unfriendly waiter (for the umpteenth time).

Beautiful restaurant with an exceptional selection. We had a delicious apero spritz, the HP8 pizza with goat cheese, radicchio, honey and pomegranate and the signature pizza with salmon, buffalo mozzarella,... For dessert, an unusual, very tasty tiramisu. Worth a visit.

After half an hour we received the menu and after another 20 minutes our drinks. The food came after a total of 1 hour 20 minutes, but only after I announced that I didn't want to eat anymore and that I wanted to pay. Our food was, thank God, very good (risotto and pizza), and as compensation we were given an espresso. Conclusion: Food was very good, but overpriced (pizza €16.80, risotto around €20), service was terrible, and it was very loud in the restaurant. Risk of recurrence: 0%

Food not recommended. Some of the fries were still hard (probably frozen goods) and the food was generally cold. Card payment was not possible, and unfortunately there was no indication of this. Under no circumstances will I dine here again.

Unfortunately the service was very bad and even the drinks weren't ok. After we sat on the almost empty terrace for 20 minutes and no staff came, I came into the empty restaurant and asked for service. I was then answered snippily that the terrace was closed and that we were also sitting in the “self-service area”. Tip for owners: Post signs outside to identify this. I ordered drinks at normal prices (despite self-service) and stood at the bar like an idiot, watching the barman pour the drinks in the empty bar and carrying the drinks to the table myself. I had the feeling that I was disturbing the staff by standing around. We then decided not to eat on site. The €4.90 house lemonade (according to the menu basil, ginger, lime, soda) consisted of a glass of Almdudler with a piece of ginger. When I asked if this was really the lemonade, I was told that they had forgotten the basil leaf. Great. The shandy was also poorly mixed. Unfortunately nothing fits here. We won't be coming back.

Yesterday during the salsa party, the deposit money for plastic cups was simply thrown at me with a nasty, annoyed look instead of being handed to me. Reason: I didn't have an EC card and just wanted cash. After I asked the young woman at the checkout why she did it, she said annoyed that she didn't have any change. I told her that it's not my fault if she runs out of money and treating me like that isn't good parenting either. The discussion became more heated because she didn't realize that her behavior towards me wasn't right. So I asked about boss and she said she didn't have a boss. I looked up the boss and went with him, the same employee at the checkout this time told the boss that she hadn't thrown away the money and had never said that she was bossless. The boss then apologized to me, but didn't believe me. His comment: I have never seen her (the employee) behave badly. After the strange comment, I thanked him and said goodbye and I hope they both understood that they didn't treat me right. My evening was over and I asked myself, what's so bad about just apologizing for inappropriate behavior? Nobody can do that these days??? Then people are surprised and tell you "not with that tone" when you rebel and don't agree to being treated badly and with arrogance for no reason. I reacted accordingly, which was borderline, was provoked and simply lied to straight to my face. I can not stand that.

Very unfriendly staff and poor service. The food was of poor quality and arrived cold after over 30 minutes. Warmed up in the microwave? Card payment was not possible and there was no invoice. Under no circumstances go there!!
