Inh. Mario Minutella Ristorante Vecchia-Casa in Kronach

The ambiance is pleasant and cozy, but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to it. I ordered a vegetarian antipasto. When I asked, no one could tell me exactly what it contained. I ordered it anyway – a mistake. The plate consisted mostly of iceberg lettuce and tomatoes; the vegetables were barely grilled and the presentation was very unappealing. There was hardly any oil or sauce, making it very bland. It also included a skewer of tomato, mozzarella, and shrimp. When I pointed out that I had ordered vegetarian and don't eat fish, the only response was, "You can take that off," and the server disappeared. Overall, a disappointing experience.

We were here for the first time during the week today. The food arrived quickly! The service was very friendly and polite :) The pizza was also delicious! I'll be back 😊

Delicious food at reasonable prices. Friendly owner and pleasant atmosphere.

The Italian restaurant in Kronach, an institution for 45 years thanks to the tireless and very friendly owner Mario, consistently serving delicious food, whether pizza or pasta. Great… keep it up!

The service was super friendly. The Quattro Formaggi had plenty of cheese and were delicious. Mario also happily sponsored beer boots. Thanks!

Good food, great pasta, great pizza

Always a pleasure to visit Mario's ☺️ You simply feel welcome. The wine 🍷 and pizza 🍕 are absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is warm and welcoming. Until next time 😘

The chef still cooks here himself. Since everything is cooked fresh, it sometimes takes a little longer, but it's worth it!

A complete disaster – never again! A dining experience we've never had in any other restaurant as negative as this. First of all: We waited over 1.5 hours for our food. No information, no apology, no service whatsoever. During this endless time, we weren't even asked if we'd like another drink. Other guests who arrived after us received their appetizers and main courses much earlier – and had long since left by the time our food finally arrived (and not all of it, by the way). And the icing on the cake? The pizza was small, poorly topped, and of subpar quality – but at prices that could otherwise only be justified in downtown Munich. But at least there, you get value for your money. Service? Disastrous. The waitress was rude, annoyed, and arrogant, completely unfriendly despite the long wait – more like a feeling that you were a nuisance as a guest. The manager himself? Unfriendly at the checkout, no apology, no regrets. And then there were Thai dishes on the menu, which actually sounded exciting – but when asked, the only response was an annoyed "They don't have everything today, I'd have to cook first" from the (presumably responsible) Thai cook. Conclusion: A wannabe gourmet restaurant with exorbitant prices, poor organization, arrogant service, and bad food. Anyone who thinks they're going to go "high-class" in Kronach should first strive for quality and professionalism – both of which were completely lacking here. We definitely won't be coming back.

Super delicious food with a great atmosphere and friendly service!

Culinary Nightmare I can only advise everyone not to visit this restaurant. The evening turned into an absolute nightmare. The service was extremely unfriendly from the start. We had to wait a long time for our food and were then blatantly lied to by the server when we asked where it was. Even though we had been seated for a long time, other guests who arrived much later were given preferential treatment and received their pizzas before us. When we finally complained that our food had been forgotten, something unbelievable happened: The staff loudly and condescendingly spoke badly about us in front of other guests. I've never experienced anything like that before, and it's completely unacceptable. After the disastrous service, the food was also a complete disappointment. The pizzas weren't cooked through, the cheese wasn't melted, and everything was disproportionately overpriced. Furthermore, the food arrived at our tables at different times, which made things even more unpleasant. There was no understanding or consideration from the staff. If I hadn't been so hungry, I would have left immediately. We will never enter this restaurant again.

"Italian night? More like a comedy show with bad service." After more than 90 minutes, we finally got our pizzas – half-raw, doughy, and with barely melted cheese. Our glasses were empty, but no one asked if we wanted anything else or if everything was okay. A friend's ordered salad didn't arrive for another 20 minutes after my main course. The waitress brought it and asked mockingly, "Yeah, I guess you don't need that anymore?" When we declined, she said, "I knew that." After that, the salad simply went to the next table. At one point, they said they were out of pizza dough – strange that all the other guests were still being served pizza. Particularly annoying: guests who had arrived significantly later than us were served before us. Instead of service, there were vacation stories at the next table, and behind our backs, we were even insulted because we "didn't understand" the wait. When we went to pay, I asked another waitress if we could pay her as well. She directed us directly to the manager at the counter. We paid there – without asking how we liked our food, and without even a word or a farewell. Conclusion: If you like half-raw pizza, disrespect, and ignorance, this is the place for you – everyone else should steer clear.

We were here with friends and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. Although we had ordered early, we didn't get our food until 8:40 p.m. – by then the restaurant was far from full. We waited over 1.5 hours, were repeatedly put off, and finally received pizzas that were undercooked and only tasted mediocre. My ordered salad didn't arrive until about 20 minutes later, when the others had long since finished. The waitress asked me disparagingly if I even wanted the salad. When I said no, she simply replied, "I already knew that." Then, laughing, she carried the plate to another table and made derogatory remarks about us. The rest of the service was anything but professional: When we asked for a small apology for the wait, the waitress simply replied, "I'm not going to let myself be blackmailed here. If I do, I'll make you an offer – not you to me." Instead of understanding, there was laughter and mocking comments – even in front of other guests. To explain the long wait, we were also told that they were out of pizza dough – at the same time, guests who arrived significantly later were still being served pizzas. Empty glasses were left standing, and no one asked for more drinks – there was no sign of any effort. We know that good service isn't a given these days – but unfortunately, an experience like this remains a very negative memory.

Yesterday, five of us ate at this restaurant. The salad was very good, but we all had pizza, which we definitely didn't love. The pizzas were very small, and everyone agreed that they tasted very much like store-bought pizza. The dough had also been in the oven for far too long and was extremely hard. And even though the place wasn't exactly busy, we had to wait a very long time for the pizzas.

The food was mediocre, with a wait of almost an hour (three tables that had ordered later were served in the meantime). The large pizza was mediocre at best, the prices were overpriced, and the service was grumpy and unfriendly. Card payments weren't accepted either.

Very tasty food (especially the fish and Asian dishes). Definitely recommended.

Friendly staff and delicious food. What more could you want? The ambiance is just right here, too.

Great, simply great! You feel at home, and I can recommend it to anyone who wants to feel like they're on vacation 👍🏽🌷

We were there for lunch with 24 people for a birthday party. Opening hours didn't matter; we were warmly welcomed. The food arrived fairly quickly, and there were welcome drinks without us having to say anything. Thank you, and we'd love to come back 😊

Affordable and delicious. Friendly service. Thumbs up from me! Oh, and for those who don't want to sit at the front by the street: if you walk through the restaurant, you'll find a small, cozy outdoor seating area somewhat hidden in the back...

The perfect pizzeria. Cozy atmosphere, quick and super friendly staff. The food is fantastic, freshly prepared, lovingly prepared and served. Rich selection of drinks with interesting wines. Very child friendly. For me the best Italian restaurant I know - and I really know many all over Germany.

We're always happy to come back! We enjoy being guests here. Great Italian cuisine and genuinely friendly service.

The owner still cooks here himself (his special dishes), we've been coming here for years and are never disappointed. Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and the best host in town: Mario 🫶🏼

Food was very good. Friendly service.

Very tasty... Especially the Bavette Frutti di Mare... A dream...

The food was very good. Service could be a bit better.

The "local" visit was an absolute disaster! The €14 pizza wasn't even worth €5, and the wrong delivery was made because hardly anyone spoke German! The Capriciosa salad consisted of iceberg lettuce and iceberg lettuce... The other ingredients were simply missing, and at a price of over €10 🤬 absolutely not recommended!

Great restaurant! There was a small misunderstanding with the order, but the owner resolved it immediately. Everything was excellent!

We received a very warm welcome at Vecchia Casa. Our group of 5 had different dishes from starters to dessert and everyone was super satisfied and the service from the boss was also unique.

IT CAN'T GET ANY WORSE!! My friend ordered a rib-eye steak. The first one served came to our table with the remains of a steel sponge. After we complained about this, the next one was brought to us after a while. It didn't take long at all for us to discover the next problem. The steak was seared, but was completely raw inside. The side dish, by the way, was also cold, blackened, and inedible. Afterwards, the chef was called to our table because the waiters apparently had no idea what we wanted from them. Instead of admitting HIS MISTAKES and the LACK OF HYGIENE in this establishment, we were simply loudly and rudely spoken to. We wanted to return the food and pay. We were then loudly threatened with the police, and the chef harassed other guests, hoping they would agree that he hadn't made any mistakes. In the end, no patrol was needed, but we're definitely NEVER coming back to this place. The prices are way too high for this third-rate "restaurant," although third-rate, in this case, is a compliment. I'm SO DISAPPOINTED! You don't have to be a restaurant worker to see everything that goes wrong in this place. Simply a disgrace from UNQUALIFIED "restaurateurs"!

You don't even know where to begin. After a long 45 minutes, almost everything finally arrived after the initial delivery of the wrong item. One of the pizzas had a hole in it, and the ordered lasagna turned out to be cannelloni, which identifies itself as lasagna. The incorrect delivery was dismissed with "the chef says it's lasagna." Unfortunately, the prices don't reflect good taste or ingredients. It's a shame, the restaurant has a nice ambiance and the service staff are very friendly.

We received very friendly service. The food was delicious and well worth the extra tip. We'll definitely be back and can recommend it with a clear conscience.

Serves Italian and Thai dishes, very tasty! Service and atmosphere are good, probably even better in the summer, when you can also sit outside.

The flatbreads for the appetizer were crispy and delicious. Unfortunately, the pizza wasn't to my taste.

very unfriendly staff and above all very expensive prices :-( at Spagetti Frutti Di Mare we are now at 19,90€ last year 2023 we were at 14,50€!!! but the old menu with the old prices is still available in the restaurant
