Giardino in Weimar

We were lucky enough to have a beautiful, warm day in Weimar in mid-September. We immediately used it to have something to eat and drink in the beautiful garden in a prime location. The service was incredibly attentive, customer-oriented and just plain nice! And the food was delicious! An absolute recommendation for every Weimar traveler in the warm season!

To put it bluntly, it was the worst meal I've had in a long time. My partner and I both ordered pizza. The pizza came to the table lukewarm. How is it possible to serve a supposedly freshly baked pizza almost cold??? The toppings, the tomato sauce were absolutely tasteless. The dough is also inedible. You could also tell from the pizza that it was prepared without love. For a pizza that costs €20 each, I expect a certain level of class, far from it... This pizza wasn't worth €5 and a small compensation to the guests would also be desirable. Unfortunately a flop!!!

A beautiful place. Very special, a pure garden restaurant. Unfortunately the service wasn't good. After 30 minutes and asking the “wrong” waiter twice for drinks, we were still left high and dry!! It doesn't work at all. We paid more than 100€ for 2 starters and pasta and pizza. That was sporty. We actually had a nice sit there and spent an idyllic evening. Recommendation? Conditional.

Super nice place, cozy under big trees, a dream in warm summer weather. Very friendly service and delicious food. Absolute recommendation!

Was really good, surprising outdoor location in the city center. A bit hidden but worth it. We had enough antipasti for lunch. There is a special picture in the outdoor kitchen. Left Napoleon in the French campaign of 1814. From an 1864 painting by Ernest Meissoniere. But the right side is completely unknown to me. It may represent Frederick Wilhem of Prussia after the battle of Jena in 1806. This may possibly be an artistic composition. Who knows?. So that's a funny side effect.

We stayed here on the recommendation of our hotel next door, the Goethehaus. Nice atmosphere, hidden, you can watch the grill while cooking, neat waitresses, service worked and we were very happy with the food, had tagliatelle with salsiccia and paccheri with strips of beef fillet. The price is high, but we're used to that in Bavaria and the top location also costs money, so it was justified. Good recommendation!

Very nice atmosphere, the dishes are a bit expensive for the quantity, but tasty. Unfortunately the service was a bit poor. We waited over an hour for our food, everyone who came after us had their food before us. We were always ignored by the waitress walking past and in the end someone else, who had always ignored us before, came to collect and acted as if we were the best guests... very strange behavior.

The biggest mafia house in Weimar! Almost all Italian restaurants/cafés in Weimar belong to Giancarlo and are thus displacing others. Please do not support this store. Apart from that: The table next to us waited 2 hours for their food. Thank God we weren't that unlucky. When we arrived the cards were put in front of us, but only when we wanted to order were we suddenly told that pizza and tarte flambée were out, i.e. 1/3 of the menu. The price-performance ratio is questionable, the prices are all at €20 and above, even for pasta with sauce, pizza etc. without meat. Dessert all at €8.50 for small portions. Creme brûlée was also out.

We discovered the restaurant by chance and loved the place. Unfortunately the service was poor. We wanted to correct our order after 1 minute, but that was no longer possible! An individual order was also not implemented. The service is not attentive and we had to refill the wine ourselves. Conclusion, the ambience is beautiful and the service is poor.

The Giardino is a very nice restaurant with fine dining. The waitresses are very nice and attentive. The quality of the food is appropriate for the high prices, only the starters are too expensive. Of course you can sit in the garden surrounded by greenery and the trees make it very pleasant even on hot days. The food is freshly prepared in the open kitchens and is really delicious. The pizzas are huge. For us one of the best restaurants in Weimar. Due to the location, it is unfortunately only open in the summer from April to September. Reservations are now possible, unfortunately the address of the Giancarlo Group's main restaurant is on the business card, so if you don't know your way around, you'll end up in front of the wrong restaurant, which is what happened to our parents.

Good food in a Mediterranean style.

Giardino, conclusion: nice idea with the garden restaurant, different kitchens in different small buildings (pavilion, greenhouse, open barbecue area and pizza bakery) and different seating areas for dining and bar service. Prices overpriced because they don't correspond to the quality (taste and portion size), cutlery with greasy fingerprints, tablecloth with glass rims from the day before, as well as the baguette. Unfortunately, the service is not appropriate for the price range (and in one-word sentences). The guests are tourists and Weimar snobs (with gelled hair) and/or business lunches. You can do it on vacation, but we wouldn't choose it again. 😉

Even at 31 degrees, it's very comfortable to sit in the garden and enjoy wonderful food! Really nice service and delicious wine! We had Duroc Tomahawk and Tagliatelle Ragout a la Verdure. We'll be back!!!

We were here for dinner. It was quite empty, with less than 25% of tables occupied. The staff wasn't attentive and seemed very "aloof". The portions of the food are very small, but quite expensive. The composition of the dishes/side dishes sometimes takes a lot of getting used to, also in terms of taste. The few wines are not of high quality, as are the prices. We were there once, but certainly not again.

Good fresh Italian cuisine is served in the historic Oppelschen Garden from the 18th century! Quietly located and very well-kept garden area with 3 open cooking stations, open daily from April to September. Further information about the history can be found on the website. We made a reservation for the evening at short notice. Our culinary expectations were even exceeded; considering the fairly moderate prices, we ate very well here. The house served white bread and hearty breadsticks with some aioli. Our main courses were very convincing in terms of taste and quality - super fresh ingredients. My loved one chose the tagliatelle with salsiccia and pesto (€16.90) and for me there was the Duroc Tomahawk pork chop with rosemary potatoes and grilled vegetables (€23.90). Unfortunately, we had to forego starters and desserts due to our sumptuous lunch. Since we enjoyed the evening so much, we spontaneously went back to this beautiful oasis for lunch the next day. We also liked the cheap lunch offer (€13.50 with espresso and bread). First of all, a small portion of penne was served with a well-made tomato sauce and the main course was beautifully spicy salsiccia with crispy fresh salad. Very good value for money. The selection of open wines was very limited, so I later had to make do with the lonely Verdicchio. A somewhat more extensive offering would be desirable. The Prosecco is also rather average, a nice Franciacorta would be something fine and would go much better. Unfortunately, the young service ladies, some of Asian origin, did not do justice to this beautiful summer location. Fortunately, we don't experience such listless, unmotivated and inattentive service very often. A little more openness and willingness to communicate could work wonders. Well, the staff shortage! Often the restaurateurs have to take what comes along. The middle-aged lady, possibly the owner or the service manager, was much more open-minded. Food and location great! Wine and service needs improvement! Still recommended!

We were there with the whole team, it was super tasty 🤤 There was a buffet with 4 courses, i.e. all courses came one after the other. And the ambience was wow, very nicely decorated and almost in the green 🤩

Unfortunately it's a bit hidden at the end of a small alley, but it's definitely worth a visit. Everything perfect. However, you sit outside in a beautiful and quiet garden.

Invited for a birthday😀 and everything was super delicious🥰 thank you very much, my favorite - truffle pasta 👍 simply delicious, always again🥂

Unfortunately they weren't willing to serve us. That's why there was only something to eat for one of us...

Setting is beautiful. Food from the grill and pasta is nice.

The food tasted great and the service was very nice! We'd love to come back!

Today we accidentally discovered an absolute gem in Weimar. Incredibly beautiful and relaxed atmosphere. Of course the weather was also favorable. But the garden invites you to linger. The food was incredibly good. High quality at an excellent price-performance ratio. The open grill in particular not only ensures great dishes, the smell also whets the appetite for more. The service was very good. Attentive, quick, extremely friendly and yet reserved. We were almost a little sad not to have discovered this wonderful location sooner. We will come more often! Many thanks also to Julia, who takes such wonderful care of everything.

Special understanding of service

A great summer evening, magical ambience and very tasty food. The ravioli with mushrooms and truffles were very tasty, the meat was freshly grilled with grilled vegetables and rosemary potatoes... really tasty and so good that we will visit the restaurant on our second evening in the city. Thank you!

Had the lunch menu with pasta, schnitzel and espresso. A real eye-catcher in terms of taste. Service extremely fast and friendly. Absolute recommendation! Only in good weather there is only seating outside

Very nicely located in the old town and in the countryside, good food, very friendly service.

Great atmosphere, very friendly, competent service. The food was, as always, very tasty. Thanks and keep it up.

This is our absolute favorite restaurant in Weimar. Very charming and friendly condition. The new menu is great!

What can I say about Guardino Restaurant? We were lucky to get a place, although unfortunately we didn't make a reservation. The delicious antipasti were delicious and the entrecôte melted in your mouth. The service and stylish atmosphere make the restaurant a must-visit gem in the heart of Weimar. I recommend making reservations in advance.

Wonderful atmosphere, great service, always friendly and accommodating and very tasty food. Highly recommended!!

We had lunch here today, we really enjoyed the food, mainly entriko steak, the atmosphere is very good, the service is first class

Attentive and friendly staff. Food was very tasty.

Today we discovered a real gem of a restaurant at the end of the soap alley. Today's specialty, tagliatelle with cod in saffron-lime sauce, was an absolute dream. The pizzas and veal liver were also a real treat. The whole thing was rounded off with tiramisu in a large glass. Together with the ambience of a Mediterranean garden including a pavilion, barbecue area and bar counter, the impression of a short vacation in Italy arose in Weimar. We will definitely come back here on our next visit.

We come to Weimar once every year and we love coming here to eat every time. An absolute feel-good place. The food is very tasty and the service is super friendly.

My favorite summer Italian restaurant in Weimar. A place to relax and enjoy culinary delights

Very very tasty. We had antipasti deluxe, pasta with rabbit and pasta with beef fillet tips, tiramisu. Very courteous and attentive service and great ambience in the garden. For the quality and service, the price was reasonable and could be higher. Definitely again next time in Weimar.

Always happy! Every summer I look forward to little breaks in the Giardino - like a short vacation! Tasteful ambience, attentive service, good food. Keep it up!

Beautiful garden with an appealing ambience and very nice service🍹 The Aperol decorations in particular are a great splash of color in the garden 🧡

A restaurant with a very special flair. We went there on the recommendation of friends and were not disappointed. The ambience is summery, light and yet well-kept. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating

For me it can only be full! Give points for all categories 🫶 from the welcome (service), to the aperitif, greetings from the kitchen 🤩 and the main course = a dream 🫶 we would love to come back 🤩

Great location for good weather. Very stylish and tastefully furnished, delicious food and extremely friendly and service-oriented staff.

I had only coffee and cake. Cheesecake - really good taste and a portion which could be easily as well for 3 people :)

Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is not right. You pay €2.50 for tap water, no bread was served and the bread salad was roasted bread with tomatoes and onions.

A wonderful place to spend a nice evening with friends! We'd love to come back🥂

Pizza made from ready-made dough, service mediocre.

Very tasty pizza, nice surroundings and nice service. I really liked it there <3

I've been a guest at Gruppo Gian Carlo for years and haven't had a single problem with the food, drinks, service or atmosphere since then. In particular, the team at Giardino and the Gian Carlo ice cream parlor have become very good acquaintances and I feel more than comfortable. I would like to thank you publicly for the last year. For the team and the restaurant manager (Julia) at Giardino. Of course also with the managing directors and owners. What suits me most about the team is the friendly, smiling and professional service. Something like this is rare and speaks of quality.

The food was tasty and the service was very nice

The food was very fresh. The schnitzel was delicious. The service was very polite. The waitress was attentive and took our orders quickly. The atmosphere was very quiet. The tables were clean. simply irreplaceable. I highly recommended it.

Very central and yet quiet - a small oasis in the cultural city. 👍🏻

Ein angenehmer Ort, entspanntes Ambiente und aufmerksames freundliches Personal. Das Essen schmeckte gut, die Portion war mir etwas zu klein. Saubere Sanitäranlagen, ein mir wichtiger Punkt. Dieses Restaurant lädt zu regelmäßigen Besuchen ein. Wir erhielten Abends zu viert einen Tisch ohne Reservierung.

Everything fine. From the starter to the main course and the wine and the ambience all around satisfied.

Zunächst einmal war es ein Ort, auf den ich mich sehr gefreut habe, aber sie sagten, dass sie ihn nicht ohne Reservierung kaufen würden. Oder ich hatte eine Freundin dabei, die ein Kopftuch trug, also könnte es so gesagt worden sein (ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn wir echte Informationen darüber bekämen) Ich ging hin und ich werde nicht in der Lage sein, weiter zu kommentieren, weil ich es nicht erleben konnte.

Wunderbares Ambiente, herzlicher Empfang, freundlicher Service und leckeres, frisches Essen, der Salat frisch und knackig, die Hauptspeisen sehr lecker und heiss auf den Tisch. Alles in Allem sehr zu empfehlen!!

Wundervolles Ambiente um einen schönen Sommerabend zu genießen. Das Essen war wirklich sehr lecker. Preislich war es auch sehr angemessen. Das Servicepersonal wirkte ein wenig zu kühl, war aber höflich.

Sehr angenehm. Ruhig gelegen, lecker Essen, freundliche Gastgeber und angemessene Preise.

Ein toller Ort um sich kulinarisch mitten in der Stadt verwöhnen zu lassen. Super Service. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Mehr geht einfach nicht bei solch einem schönen Wetter und diesem Ambiente hier im Garten. Leckere, frische Gerichte und immer ein Lächeln vom internationalen Service. Immer wieder gerne.

average Italian, nothing spectacular (except for the excellent beef carpaccio ...)

Tolles Ambiente weg vom Straßenlärm und das Personal sehr zuvorkommend

Ein wunderschöner Ort, um in Weimar ein Mittagessen einzunehmen!

Diese Pizzaria ist ein wenig verstesckt neben dem Goethe Haus, in einem wunderschönen Garten wie ich finde. Das Essen war gut - okay und der Service war auch gut. Am schönesten ist das Ambiente.

Ein ganz besonderes Restaurant in einer ganz besonderer Umgebung. Dafür allein schon 5 Sterne 🌟. Personal sehr zuvorkommend und mega nett. Essen ausgezeichnet. Speisen werden an einzelnen, offen einsehbaren Stationen im Aussenbereich zubereitet. Die Bar ist im Oppelschen Gartenhaus untergebracht. Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Allerdings wäre leise Musik noch viel schöner beim Genießen in der tollen Umgebung.

Ich fand es nicht gut. Super lange gewartet. Wenn man nur was trinken will, nervt man das Personal. Erheblich überteuert. Getränke kosten bei den Mitbewerbern gut 20% weniger. Keine Parkplätze.

A lovely quiet garden in the City. Ok service. My partner could not eat her pizza because the bottom was burnt black. Mine was not too bad, apart from one piece. Can't pay by visa. Expensive.

Sehr schönes Ambiente und sehr freundliches Personal. Das Essen hat mich leider nicht überzeugt.

Wunderschöner Ort! Man vergisst mitten in der Stadt zu sein. Unsere Kinder wollten hier gar nicht mehr weg. Die Kinderpizza war sehr lecker, Tagliata mit Rosmarin - Weltklasse! Die Mädchen im Service sehr freundlich und zuvorkommen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen auf jeden Fall sehr gerne wieder!

Everything was great! The garden is beautiful!!! Very nice service and delicious pizza and pasta!

Ein wunderschöner Ort zum Entschleunigen.

Sehr kleine Portion. Preis-/Leistung was das Essen betrifft steht in keinem Verhältnis! Sorry, ich war sehr enttäuscht.

Wirklich sehr angenehm draußen, viel hübsche Aussicht auf Grün, Garten, und das mitten in der Stadt. Wirklich gute Pizza. Überraschenderweise machte diese auch gut satt. Eistee ist nicht zu süß, echt gut. Gerne wieder.

Alles sehr schön, auch wenn es den ein oder anderen Euro mehr kostet.

Eine tolles Erlebnis! Bei herrlichem Wetter in dem Garten und leckeres Essen genießen. Guter Service, faire Preise!

Super gegessen in sehr angenehmer Atmosphäre. Nette Bedienung...

Eins der schönsten Restaurants in Weimar . Man sitzt in einem wunderschönen Garten und kann das hektische Touristenleben entfliehen ! Das Essen ist sehr lecker besonders die Tortelloni Prosciutto und dazu eine französische Limonade <3 Die Bedienung ist sehr aufmerksam und zuvorkommend! Jeder der Weimar mal besucht (bei schönem Wetter ) sollte sich hier eine Auszeit gönnen egal ob zum Essen oder nur einen Espresso.

Feine kleine Oase in mitten der Stadt mit Gartenflair des 18ten Jahrhunderts. Personal freundlich und zuvorkommend. Vorspeise (Mozzarella in Schinken gewickelt) Hauptgang (Tagliata Pikante) Dessert (Pana Conta) haben Geschmacklich überzeugt. Preise sind vollkommen in Ordnung. Schön das sich noch solche Fleckchen in Weimar finden lassen.
