Gallo Nero Hamburg in Hamburg

Das Essen war ausgezeichnet und hat uns allen sehr gut geschmeckt. Leider war die Eingangstür die ganze Zeit offen, wodurch es im Lokal sehr kalt war – das hat die Atmosphäre etwas getrübt. Zudem gab es bei der Rechnung ein Problem: Wir haben 3 Gläser Rotwein und 2 Gläser Weißwein bestellt, aber später wurden uns 2 ganze Flaschen á 53€ berechnet, was nicht korrekt war. Brot wurde auf der Gesamtrechnung mit 17,50 € aufgeführt, was wir als überteuert empfanden. Interessant wäre es zu wissen , was mit dem restlichen Inhalt der Weinflaschen geschehen ist?! Was uns zusätzlich enttäuscht hat, war die begrenzte Zeit. Nach 1 Stunde und 45 Minuten wurde unser Tisch wieder vergeben, sodass wir keine Möglichkeit hatten, eventuell noch Nachspeisen oder ähnliches zu bestellen.

Bislang mein Lieblings-Italiener in Hamburg. Essen große Klasse. Was allerdings die letzten zwei Male mit großen Gruppen (jeweils 8-10 Personen) passiert ist, geht so nicht. Als gemischten Vorspeisenteller kamen drei Gänge Vorspeisen. Parallel zu der Bestellung einer Magnumflasche Rotwein wurde noch mal schnell eine weitere Weißweinflasche geöffnet und eingebucht. Wir zahlen gerne für gutes Essen und guten Wein. Lassen uns aber ungern mit Dingen abziehen, die wir so gar nicht bestellt haben. Schade.

Absolutely recommendable 😍 thank you for the beautiful wedding day 🎉🇮🇹

First-class cuisine, but it lacks that certain something. No one in our group would have wanted to order the same dish again. (We had different pasta dishes.) The value for money is off the rails.

Highly recommended. The ambiance, service, and food are simply fantastic. Simply decorated with a lot of love. Very friendly staff. The food was truly delicious. Always happy to return to Hamburg. A visit to Gallo Nero is a must for us.

Even though we made a reservation and we were called again on the phone the same day in the morning to ask whether we were actually coming in the evening and we confirmed this, we had to wait 1 (!!!) hour for our table. There was no more space at the bar so we had to wait outside when the temperature was 2 degrees until we finally got our reserved table. Since we were a large group (10 people) we would have accepted a 30 minute wait, an hour outside in the cold is really an absolute disgrace!!! We had to ask several times what was wrong with our table. It really doesn't work! The food was tasty but not a highlight. The atmosphere is nice but not particularly fancy. It was ok but wouldn't recommend it and wouldn't come again.

Was a birthday dinner, the table was very nicely decorated, we were given a nice table and the food was very nice

Yesterday was an all-round perfect evening, food was delicious as always, yesterday I baked the sea bass in a salt crust. Still my absolute favorite is the truffle pasta. The staff is friendly and warm, you immediately feel at home with your hosts, the restaurant is warm and inviting. Only the background noise when the restaurant is full can be a bit annoying, but it doesn't make the all-round perfect evening any less beautiful. Every time I'm in Hamburg, this restaurant is worth a visit. Edit. Today I had my fourth visit to Galo Nero, the food was again super tasty and really better than average Italian restaurants. Unfortunately, the service today was not very attentive despite the very low number of guests. Unfortunately, I don't know why that was, it definitely wasn't like that the last few times. We were only in Hamburg for one day but definitely wanted to eat at Galo Nero again before we went back home. Unfortunately we're not going home today with a bad finish. My personal feeling is perhaps my external one, as I have a lot of tattoos and was wearing a cap, so I didn't correspond to the average guest today at lunchtime and of course I'm more noticeable in casual clothing than if I came in the evening in a shirt. Of course I can't confirm that, but that's my feeling after today's visit. Even a tip of 40 euros, which was almost 25% of the bill as a gesture of appreciation, was only waved away. A friendly thank you would have been enough at this point. We will definitely come back on our next visit to Hamburg and hope that it was just a bad day. Please do not see this review as an attack but as a criticism of today's service. The best thing about the last visits for us was the warm and loving welcome, farewell and hospitality, you felt like you were at home with your host. Best regards

On Thursday evening we celebrated my partner's birthday at Gallo Nero and had an unforgettable evening. The service was not only attentive and friendly, but also warm and professional - we felt completely at home. The real highlight, however, was the food! We both ordered pasta and agreed: we've never had pasta this good. The fresh bread and the heavenly dessert were also a delight. Of course quality has its price, but here it is absolutely justified. We'll definitely be back!

No. Service “sees” nothing. Guests have to ask for everything themselves. Both in terms of food and drinks. I just wanted to get out of there. The hype is absolutely unfounded. The prices are not justified!

Please always pay attention to what you order (and what is actually served) and check the bill. Bread is charged for the entire table, even though you only ordered bread once for a cheese plate (for one person). It was charged six times Brit! If you order without a starter you will be treated very unfriendly. We had to ask several times for wine or beer orders.

GOOD MORNING THAT WAS NOTHING WAY TOO MUCH HYPE FOR NOTHING VERY Pity WELL ✔️ Don't know... Make your own experiences, I was so disappointed... At least now I have this off my LIST!

Como grupo local de Hamburgo, conocemos la reputación de Gallo Nero. La comida está bien, el servicio lento y no muy atento si no pretendes dejar una fortuna allí. Son conocidos por intentar engañarte con todos los trucos. De ahí que nos reímos toda la cena sobre qué truco hacen esta vez. Es famoso por cobrarte x veces el precio por el vino de casa que “ya no tenían” ; - ) ) ) de ahí que te cobren 22 Euros el glas, te cobren x veces por el pan que no querías y no comías (24 Euros por el pan seco sin aceite) y siempre finjan que no tienen lo que quieres sino “algo parecido” que resulta 6 veces el precio. Es una broma común en Hamburgo y todos desde aquí ya lo saben. Así que teníamos curiosidad por lo que viene esta vez y no defraudaron: Uno de los amigos pidió un último plato para sí mismo, pero 5 personas / porciones se cobraron - aunque nadie más comió del plato (para 1 persona). Nos explicaron que esa es la regla: si una persona pide un plato, a todos se les cobra una porción. Chapeau! No lo vimos venir...

We went there with very high expectations and also found the food delicious. But not surprising. That's why there are 4 stars. The service was also a bit confused, but super friendly! You can't complain. Typical Italian cuisine, good and sometimes different dishes. The atmosphere was super nice. Really comfortable. We sat outside and when the weather was nice, I can only recommend it. Because of the hedge we felt isolated from the hustle and bustle of the streets.

It was our first time here and we really liked it: service was nice, attentive, fast! The food was excellent!!!! Starter of tomato tartare with burrata, main course of sea bream - both simply delicious!!!! Thank you for a successful evening 🙏🏻🤩

Very good food, a small starter beforehand (free), very good sourdough bread with oil and salt. For the main course I had the ragout, which is also highly recommended. Everyone will find what they are looking for here, as Gallo Nero also works very closely with the pizza shop Spaccaforno next door and therefore also offers Neapolitan pizza. Unfortunately, the staff is quite pushy, we were asked 3 times within less than 5 minutes if we wanted a bottle of water, and on the 4th time we agreed (the staff probably achieved their goal). They couldn't explain to me what the difference was between the light ragout and the normal ragout. Anyway, it's quite difficult to communicate when the waiters hardly speak any German. Of course, that makes it nice and authentic when only Italian-speaking people work there, but it also comes with hurdles. The location is of course very nice but very, very difficult to reach by car, as there is hardly any parking space and a lot of traffic. Unfortunately, taking the train isn't ideal either, but it could be worse.

Wir kommen nicht aus Hamburg, sind aber mehrfach im Jahr in der Stadt. Bisher hatten wir kein gutes italienisches Restaurant finden können. Unser Hotel hatte uns nun dieses Restaurant empfohlen und das war eine ganz wunderbare Empfehlung. Das Ambiente ist toll. Es ist verwinkelt, wohnlich und vollgestopft mit Weinflaschen. Wir mögen das... Der Service, der Wein und das Essen waren super! Wir werden bestimmt wiederkommen, wenn wir in der Stadt sind. Danke für diesen schönen Abend!

Essen überbewertet, dem Preis nicht angemessen. Der Service (bis auf 2 Ausbahmen) unfreundlich, überheblich und unaufmerksam. Dass "Brot" mit 3,50 € pro Person überraschend auf der Rechnung steht, ist gewöhnungsbedürftig. Wir kommen NICHT wieder.

Food overrated, not appropriate for the price. Service (with two exceptions) unfriendly, inattentive and arrogant. The fact that bread is surprisingly charged at €3.50 per person takes some getting used to. We are NOT going there again.

The service was nice and charming. However, we waited a long time several times for our drinks - which were extremely overpriced. They only came after the food. The food was ok, but definitely not appropriate for the price. The risotto from the daily menu was also quite unsightly, so a little decoration or something similar would have helped.

Unreserved recommendation. We were there for the first time and we were thrilled. The highest quality paired with warm, personal service in a family atmosphere. Brilliant!

We had a wonderful evening and the food was delicious. Thank you. We'll definitely come back. The boss is super nice.

Unbeliavable experience for a date night. The servers were so kind and they knew exactly what we wanted and even already split dishes that we wanted to share. Such an amazing experience and they have such a great eye for service! 10/10 would go again

Italy lives, right here, in a cozy and cheerful way, typical of the country. As Padrone Corrado Falco says: A little bit of home, a little bit of Sicily. In fine Winterhude near the Outer Alster, the whole world of Italian hospitality welcomes you. Of course you are proud of your performance, it was earned with consistent quality. The salt-crusted sea bass or the grilled beef fillet are top notch. What we really like is the 4-course surprise menu, it represents a nice cross-section of the cuisine at Gallo Nero. The pizza with potatoes and truffles is a dream and if there is fresh octopus in tomato sauce, be sure to grab it, the taste is excellent. If luck greets you, you can also have veal cheeks or the very fine yellowfin tuna. Days like these make a stay in Gallo Nero an experience. You consciously live the fresh and high-quality creative Mediterranean cuisine. What is characteristic of Gallo Nero's cuisine is the high quality and consistency with which the dishes are prepared. Of course, for this reason the menu is kept small and the guest is informed daily about the special dishes. We just say veal cheeks! Gallo Nero uses high-quality meat from Fassona beef, which is one of the finest cattle in the world. Anyone who tries this meat will be amazed by its tenderness and taste. The service is very good, if not perfect and with good expertise. You know the menu as well as the wine list, so you can get very good advice here. The wines from Aetna, which Seniore Falco imports herself, are now an experience for us. Thanks to detailed advice and of course tasting, most of our rosé comes from this region. If you feel like it, you can enjoy the variety of three walk-in wine cabinets and their wealth of selection and regions. In summer you can enjoy Bella Italia on the covered terraces.

Great food and great service, especially thanks to Roberto for the great evening!

We ate at Gallo Nero for the first time on a special occasion. The service was nice and attentive. The appetizer platter was crappy. The pasta for 36€ unfortunately after 4 forks - finita (but tasty). For a bit of bread, there was supposed to be focaccia and vinegar - which unfortunately didn't happen, so the two of us paid €7. Nicely decorated dessert. The taste experience was solid, but unfortunately the whole thing was far too overpriced.

The best Italian in town!! The food and service were A1. Thank you very much for the great evening!

Absolutely recommended! The food is of first class quality and the service is top. Everything is just right here 👏👏

All in all a very disappointing experience. My brother wanted to celebrate his birthday and I recommended Gallo Nero to him. Unfortunately, a total mistake. But first of all, the bread, oil and pasta with prawns were good. The rest, especially the service, was really disappointing. The pizza tasted and smelled burnt. Despite complaints, we paid the full price. They could have accommodated us here, but even then we didn't say anything and were calm. Now why we are really disappointed: The service! We had reserved a table and when we arrived we were told we had to wait or go somewhere else. But other guests were greeted first and their hands were shaken. But I suspect that when it comes to people with a migrant background, you can save on being friendly. I don't want to accuse anyone of anything, but it's totally strange that German guests are treated so well and we aren't even said hello. But the absolute highlight: we got the wrong dish twice and politely asked that it be corrected in the bill. Then we were asked: what do you want to do now? I'll tell you what I can do, I have the incident on camera because I'm a food blogger. I'm welcome to post this on TikTok and Ig and then you'll see what I can do. I understand when you're stressed, but obviously telling the guest that you were wrong and then provoking them is an absolute no-go. I even wanted to make a free video, but that would... Loading is now more likely to cause harm. Unfortunately, Holle promoted the wrong ones. Thank you very much for nothing. Of course we didn't give a tip and were treated like dirt. If you don't believe me you can send me a DM and get the video footage or maybe see it on tiktok soon

Food was poor. Some things were good but the pizza tasted burnt. A nonsense at such prices. But the service is by far the rudest I've ever seen. Went there with a few friends to celebrate a birthday, but the service there was disastrous. Making mistakes and then insulting each other is not an option. You gave out the dishes incorrectly and want us to pay the other price? Yes, no wonder why Michelin isn't coming back. We paid full price for food and service but when it comes to service we didn't get the service. Far from it. This goes to the gentleman with the gray hair and the glasses: it was your mistake and if you seriously ask us what we want to do, then I understand the criticism from other people. Absolute disappointment. Simply overrated. But high prices demand no hello and no goodbye. Was that because we look different than the German standard? Or because we didn't want to tip for this poor service? In any case we won't be coming back

The staff wasn't any less friendly than expected

The Michelin plaques outside are well deserved. Italian place with Italian staff. Everything perfect. Thanks to the company's annual dinner, I got to know this place of high quality food and drink. Efficient and courteous staff. The price range may not allow you to go there often but at least you can spend it without regrets. Recommended for those who want to enjoy truly Italian cuisine without falling into the many possible disappointments that often happen here in Germany. With countless places with Italian names and tricolors everywhere but which are only Italian. Well done

Overpriced, very overrated. There are much better places to eat Italian food

Yesterday we were at Gallo Nero for the first time. The service was friendly and attentive, the food was tasty, the pizza could have had more seasoning. We thought the restaurant was good but I was missing the 5* experience because the price is really very good. You have to pay extra for bread, €3.50 per person. P Overall we had a nice evening.

We waited over half an hour for the table. Mind you, make a reservation. Something like that doesn't work in a restaurant that has Michelin stars hanging on the wall. Although I was at various and probably haven't received this one since 2020.

If you want to eat authentically, you should stop by her. Super delicious food at very fair prices.

We were at Galo Nero on Boxing Day and can only say: The best Italian in town! The staff is incredibly friendly, the dishes are excellent – ​​simply a pleasure. We always enjoy coming back!

The tomahawk was really excellent. 🤗

Wir haben an Neujahr hier zu fünft sehr lecker gegessen, haben gut gesessen und wurden nett bedient. Was will man mehr? Es war nicht günstig aber für die Qualität noch angemessen.

A warm and welcoming environment enriched by a good taste for detail, attentive and thoughtful service, prepared without being too intrusive, making you feel at home. The experience and knowledge in the choice of wines is strongly felt. The food is of the highest quality, well balanced between tradition and modernity, and the portions are also satisfying. At the beginning it was recommended to me, now it is a certainty for me, every time a new experience without ever being banal. There is no Hamburg without Black Rooster!!! In Maiora!!!

Absolute recommendation! The service is top notch and the pasta with truffles is a must-eat.

I was in Hamburg today and wanted to test whether the best Italian, according to Holle, is really that good. Food, service, ambience excellent. I felt very comfortable.

Apparently even the best gets too greedy! I was really looking forward to the end of the year in the best Italian restaurant in Hamburg - unfortunately it was a terrible disappointment. 1. Had to wait forty minutes for the table, restaurant was overbooked 2. After twenty minutes of standing outside in the cold we were called into the bar. The drinks from the bar were on the bill. 3. Forgot one of the appetizers 4. A main course arrived 10 minutes later 5. a dessert was wrong The whole thing for three for €450! Sorry Senore, that was nothing! Please, please don't overbook...

Went there for the first time yesterday. The food was very tasty! However, the portions are quite small for the price. I find a bottle of water for €10 quite outrageous. Unfortunately the service wasn't particularly good. We were warmly welcomed and taken straight to our table. But then we had to wait quite a long time for the tickets. A wine list was not brought, but only after a delay when we asked for our food. Instead of this as. As a sign of interest in a wine, we were no longer asked if we would like to order a wine. Only after our food had already been brought. Overall, the service should be more attentive in this price range. Maybe they were just having a bad day. But we're giving it a second chance because of the delicious food!

A prime example of poor service Our visit to this supposedly excellent restaurant was a real eye-opener. Despite the restaurant being almost empty in the early afternoon, we were banished to a table next to a work area where other guests' used dishes and wine bottles were stacked - very relaxing! The starter came almost at the same time as the main course, which of course ruined the meal sequence perfectly. The service? A true masterclass in ignorance as the staff only catered to the regular customers. My plate was literally snatched from my hands while I was still eating, and our tip was ignored with icy indifference. No thanks, no goodbyes – just great! We definitely won't be coming back and can only advise everyone to avoid this place. There are plenty of alternatives with good food and excellent service in the area.

First of all, the positive thing is that the food (pasta and dessert) was really very tasty. Our waiter was also very friendly and attentive. What wasn't clear to us in retrospect were the prices. Almost 10 euros for 800 ml of still water, 5.30 euros for a small pilsner and almost 30 euros for our pasta. I understand that it may be a little more expensive than average here at Gallo Nero, but we still feel uncomfortable having spent so much money and wouldn't eat there again.

We really liked it. Very good service, as was the food...

Überbewertet. Getränke sehr gut. Essen ok, aber dem Preis nicht angemessen. Unter dem besten Italiener habe ich mir etwas anderes vorgestellt. Ich komme nicht wieder.

Nothing more is possible in Hamburg Corado Falco is the best host.

Update 12/23/24: almost all restaurants in Hamburg were fully booked, here we were very kindly given a table with a note that we would have to wait a bit. As always, super friendly and super tasty. My father and I felt very comfortable! Was there with business partners late at lunchtime on Friday, attentive service and very tasty food. The bread and the greetings from the kitchen were also great. White wine outstanding... Come again!

Authentically delicious and cozy

Extremely good experience. Gallo Nero has been around almost as long as I have lived in Hamburg. Still, I hadn't made it there yet. After yesterday's excellent menu, I feel like I've been missing out for 25 years. That's a bit annoying 😉

Corrado relies on premium quality, a must if you are traveling in Hamburg and want to try great Italian cuisine.

Great. Great food, nice service. Great for a really good evening. You have to take some time, but it's worth it. Good wine list. Highly priced.

Very nice restaurant with excellent food. If you're not a wine drinker, it's not recommended, as it's certainly a highlight alongside the food.

Food and staff were 10/10. Offered gluten free pasta

I have never eaten so well and comfortably! Great service and great atmosphere!

Nice place, but with too many tables, little space to move around, very good service, enough food, I expected something more. The prices are really expensive, 15 euros for 150 ml of wine seems a bit much to me, certainly not for all budgets.

A table was set up for a business lunch with 8 people, but unfortunately the background noise was too loud. The waiter tried hard and special requests were fulfilled. Unfortunately, a colleague in a bad mood spoiled the overall impression. The wine list boasts big names and outrageous prices. Unfortunately, the two red wines we ordered were “empty”, but replacements were available at the same price. The 4 courses we had were solid, at times imaginative.

I actually think this restaurant is overrated 🤷🏻‍♂️ although the food is okay but a bit expensive. It's always full and loud... Even though we had a reservation, we still had to wait 20 minutes!

Cozy Italian restaurant. Food is great and service was also good. I love the olive oil on the table so I bought a bottle.

Food is good, but portions are too small and the price is not justified. The atmosphere is very nice. The service was OK but nothing special.

For me 4.5 out of 5.0 ⭐️ Ambience OK for me. There are Italians who have a more Italian atmosphere. Service very good 👍🏻 Small card - I think it's very good! Food good to very good. But the Ragu Bianco was very dry Good wine recommendation. Good bread first. Starter soup was very successful. Greetings from the kitchen were also excellent. Café at the end is also very good!

Wir hatten einen gelungenen Abend mit hervorragenden Essen, supernettes Personal und ein tolles Ambiente. Meine Familie hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt und war von der familiären und gemütlichen Atmosphäre total begeistert. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Totally 5 star. Food and wine were perfect. Staff are incredible accommodating.

Everything was very tasty and authentic. The food was a bit pricier than usual Italian restaurants.

Delicious food in a typical Italian atmosphere. The wine selection is huge

An exceptionally good Italian restaurant. The food is excellent, very good wines, committed staff and an agile, present boss. The ambience invites you to linger and relax. However, making a reservation makes a lot of sense. Often very crowded.

An hour and a half waiting time and the boss saying the starters would be taken over and then finding everything on the bill is absolutely outrageous. The boss should be ashamed, the food is OK but we really feel ripped off!

We had dinner there with the family last Sunday. When we entered the restaurant we were enchanted by the staff, the decor and the charm. My sea bream was delicious and my son's birthday was also celebrated with a tiramisu. The best Italian in Hamburg! I'll be back. Thank you for the lovely hours in your restaurant! Team Kasohm

We had a great evening for two at Gallo Nero. We were warmly welcomed even though we were there early. The food was terrific and the service was very accommodating. There were some children at the neighboring tables who were treated very nicely by the staff. The warm and familiar atmosphere was great and you felt very comfortable. I cannot understand some of the criticism that has been expressed here, all costs are listed transparently on the map. Prices for the great food are more than justified. I can highly recommend the dessert with the mascarpone cream, it was world class! We'd love to come back. :)

Very good Italian cuisine, top service, very nice atmosphere.

We had another very special evening there with the best food and excellent service!!!

A very good restaurant. The food was very tasty but I expected a little more given the prices. However, the service was A1 and the atmosphere is also great. Overall we had a very nice evening.

Incredibly good restaurant Very friendly staff that offers excellent service. We were there for lunch and felt like we were at home! The owner family attaches great importance to hospitality. PS thank you very much for the delicious lentil soup 😍 like from Nonna 😊

Always a pleasure, an incredibly warm and beautiful Italian… Kind regards, Torsten

Really nice food and service. Would highly recommend the restaurant.

This Italian pearl is a MUST for anyone in Hamburg. The food is life changing, there is no other way to describe it. The service cannot be beaten and the restaurant itself is the epitome of Italian cosiness combined with modernity. In my opinion Michelin is suspicious, but unfortunately I don't decide that. I can really recommend this restaurant to everyone! We had mixed starters, then a variety of pasta (there were 6 of us and we were allowed to sit at the best table in the restaurant - in the private room at a round table surrounded by wine bottles), but unfortunately we didn't have any room for dessert. But this is also the right place for connoisseurs of fine wines: the advice is excellent! Thank you for a perfect culinary evening ❤️ great cinema!

Although the food and service were good, unfortunately the customer service left a lot to be desired. At a celebration of 50 people requested (later we were only 45) the menu was also calculated for 50 people. No negotiation was possible even though we announced the smaller number 1 week in advance! Then during the evening it was suggested that gift bags be made available later were charged at €26! An impudence Therefore never again 🤦🏼‍♀️

Very nice restaurant, super friendly service and first-class food. The in-house shop is also highly recommended. It's better to reserve in advance, the shop is always very busy. Super nice boss :)

World class food, outstanding service and great ambience. Nothing was noticeable about the points mentioned in the negative reviews.

I celebrated my birthday twice in this restaurant 😍It was wonderful, they will meet you speaking Italian. They are very cozy and delicious, the prices are slightly above average, I recommend this restaurant if you want to try something new. I definitely recommend you to visit this restaurant, you will not regret it!)

Very tasty, authentic Italian food, nicely prepared. The restaurant is extremely stylishly furnished and creates a cozy atmosphere. We went there several times and the food was amazing every time! Unfortunately, the quality of the service was not always at the highest level, but this is also due to the fact that it is usually very busy there.

I can only report good things. We were there with a baby and space was immediately made for the stroller. The service was very attentive and the recommendations were great. The food is very good, great quality. Price-performance: it's fine dining and it's Winterhude, it's absolutely perfect 👍

The perfect choice for a special occasion! The Italian impresses with an extremely special ambience, excellent service and delicious food. It is a more upscale restaurant and therefore a bit more expensive, but the price is more than justified by the strong overall package. Definitely try it out!

Hello, there were 4 of us at Gallo Nero. It was fantastic. Above all, I would like to mention our super attentive, very friendly service. Older gentleman with glasses. Very loving, hard-working and forward-looking. We sat in the corner at the end of the bar with the bottles. Thank you at this point! The food was an absolute dream. The only thing I didn't like was the dessert (mascarpone, etc.), but that's a matter of taste. We'll be back, an absolute recommendation and once again brilliant service. Best regards :)

Rarely have I had such a great taste experience. Food came quickly, fresh and very tasty The service at the place was great!

Authentic Italian Fine Dining in Hamburg – A Must-Visit for Travelers! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gallo Nero in Hamburg delivers an authentic Italian fine dining experience that’s hard to find outside of Italy. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported into a charming, rustic atmosphere that perfectly blends sophistication and comfort. The intimate setting, combined with impeccable service, sets the tone for an unforgettable meal. The food is nothing short of extraordinary. I had the ( exotic ) T-bone steak, which was not just a meal but an experience. Perfectly cooked, the steak melted in my mouth, and the flavors were rich and authentic, reminding me of the best Italian kitchens. The care and attention to detail in every dish are evident – it’s clear that Gallo Nero prides itself on using top-quality ingredients to craft their meals. And let’s talk about the Espresso Martinis – they are to die for! If you’re a fan of well-balanced cocktails, this one will blow you away. Smooth, rich, and with just the right kick, it’s the perfect way to end your evening or kick off a special night out. The hospitality is just as outstanding as the food. Despite not speaking German, the owner took the time to make me feel like a local, which is a rarity in Germany, as I’ve discovered. That personal touch, along with the exceptional food and drinks, truly made this a five-star experience. For travelers, especially Americans visiting Hamburg, this is a hidden gem you cannot miss. Whether you’re a foodie looking for authentic Italian cuisine, a steak lover, or just someone who appreciates great hospitality, Gallo Nero is a must-visit.- Billy Gavigan

Super great Italian restaurant. Nice atmosphere, very nice, attentive staff, very tasty food and gluten-free is not a problem here at all.

For vegans, the only hot dish available is penne arrabiata, which is completely overpriced, and vegetarians don't get very far here either. The little surprise beforehand was good.

Great ItaliansWe (7 people) were here for my mother-in-law's 89th birthday. We had reserved a table and since the weather was perfect we were offered a table on the terrace (perfect!). The service was very attentive and humorous, the drink requests were processed immediately and were at the table quickly. The food order also went smoothly, after about 5 minutes a greeting came from the kitchen (a very tasty lentil soup) and about 20 minutes later we had our food in front of us. I had a very tasty "Saltimbocca alla Romana", my wife "SPAGHETTONI GAMBERI", the birthday child had "Mediterranean sea bass in a sea salt crust", also "Mediterranean tuna seared on Sicilian vegetables", a "Pizza Margherita" and ravioli with a pumpkin filling from the daily menu. All dishes were of excellent quality. At the end I had an extremely good, homemade tiramisu. Great location, great staff and delicious food... we'll be back!

The ambience is great, the waitresses are very nice and courteous

One of the best, if not the best Italian restaurant I've ever been to in Germany. Super delicious, authentic food and an incredibly great wine selection. Very nice staff and super child-friendly. Unfortunately there are no changing facilities so we had to go back to the car. Still a wonderful evening. When we are back in Hamburg we will come back.

For years, oh what, decades, the best Italian in town.

An impressive wine selection and a great ambience. Highly recommend the food! The female waitresses were particularly friendly. The male waiter, and unfortunately I have to say this, was a bit unfriendly to the guests. This made them feel unwelcome. You had the impression that you were bothering him or because he had to work. Could be Italian temperament or he was having a bad day. But it doesn't always go down well.

Absolutely great!!! Can't complain about anything. 💗💗 Very nice service and the food was super delicious

We were there for the first time and loved it. The bread, the lentil salad and especially the olive oil, which we also took home with us, are really very good. As a starter we had Carpaccio & Vitello Tonnato 10/10 Spaghetti all' alio, olio e peperoncino tasted good, would rate it as 7/10. The pasta of the day was very good - 9/10 The desserts were really delicious - 10/10. The restaurant was packed with guests queuing up, so we definitely recommend making a reservation on the weekend. Even though every table was occupied, the waiters were very nice, very quick and there wasn't a long wait! We'll definitely be back!

Absolute service Total failure. More comments after the owner's outrageous reaction: Now the owner insults you and the owner claims that you take yourself too seriously. That's not the case for me at all, even though I usually only give negative reviews. But a lot has to happen before that happens. An owner who doesn't take his guests seriously would actually have to become part of the death of restaurants if all income came from the catering business. Well, that's probably not the case here, so you don't want to have good paying guests. The excuse is that you have a lot to do, but service staff stand around or serve in a mindless and unstructured manner, a restaurant manager who doesn't think it's necessary. to take a complaint, guests who arrive later but are served with food 30 minutes earlier, drinks are not refilled, drinks are served warm even though you explicitly asked for cold ones. And if you're overwhelmed, you only have to let in as many guests as you can serve. It's not all that difficult if you have the right training and take care of your business professionally. Everything suggests that someone here is probably not in a position to professionally manage a catering business that addresses the price points that are mentioned here. Most kebab shops are service and customer oriented. After the outrageous response from the owner who was not present that evening, I am reducing the rating again. Unfortunately, this attitude that the owner shows here also seems to be projected onto the staff. No recommendation and never again.

It was a pleasure. The food is excellent, everything is of the best quality and cooked to perfection. The friendliness of all employees and the attentive service round off the perfect experience. I have rarely eaten as well as I did here.

Very fine cuisine, great wines, exquisite service, high prices: a great restaurant.
