Jivino Enoteca in Bielefeld

We visited this restaurant yesterday evening for dinner. It is a cosy place with nice decorations. The waiting staff was friendly throughout. We got confused at the concept of this restaurant. They offer Tapas, some italian dishes, some greek and Merguez sausages. We would have preferred a more clear concept. ‘Mediterranean cuisine? Very well, how about Moroccan Tagines or Libanese hummus? While the food was ok, it was, IMHO nothing special. Go there is you are hungry, you will be fed. For some outstanding food perhaps rather go elsewhere.

Nettes Lokal, etwas unübersichtliche Räume unt enge Gänge. Gute freundliche Bedienung, schneller Service ca. 15min trotz vollem Restaurant. Es gibt zwei Speisekarten, das macht die Auswahl nicht einfach (Standard- und Saisonkarte). Speisen waren gut gewürzt und haben gut geschmeckt. Preise sind nicht günstig aber angemessen für die Qualität.

Wirklich schönes Restaurant, sehr leckeres Essen und freundliches Personal. Trotz vollem Haus am Freitag Abend waren sowohl Getränke als auch der erste und der zweite Gang sehr schnell am Tisch. Tapas, Fisch, Nudelgerichte und auch Fleisch- für jeden ist etwas dabei. Auch extra Wünsche waren kein Problem. Sehr zu empfehlen.

WIEDER IN BIELEFELD & WIEDER IM JIVINO WAS SOLL ICH SAGEN MEHR GEHT NICHT SERVICE PROFESSIONEL / HERZLICH AMBIENTE URLAUBSFEELING PUR ESSEN TOP WIE UMMER AUF BALD

Wir hatten einen wundervollen Familienabend im Jivino in privater Atmosphäre im Gewölbe. Die Bedienung war sehr aufmerksam, freundlich und hat uns interessantes Wissen um die speziellen Zutaten bei den verschiedenen Tapas vermittelt. Wir saßen mit 17 Personen an einem langen Tisch und konnten uns ungestört und angeregt miteinander unterhalten. Wir hatten die Tapas-Reise gebucht und das Essen war wunderbar! Sehr schmackhaft, das Fleisch butterzart. Viele der kleinen Köstlichkeiten waren auch neu für einige von uns und somit gab es einiges zu entdecken und zu probieren. Marcos Wein-Empfehlung war perfekt und der angefragte Calvados hervorragend. Fazit: Sehr schönes gemütliches Ambiente. Sehr angenehme Bedienung, freundlicher, zugewandter Service, obwohl das Lokal komplett ausgebucht war, kamen die einzelnen, leckeren und vielseitigen Gänge in perfektem zeitlichen Abstand. Absolut gelungene Geburtstagsfeier. Alle sehr zufrieden. Gerne wieder.

Simply great food & great service!

Brilliant cooking event! 4-course menu perfectly coordinated. Only recommended! Everyone had something to do and learned!

Very good food from Sigma Restaurant

I recently had the pleasure of eating at Jivino Restaurant and it was a great experience! The atmosphere is modern and cozy, perfect for a relaxed evening. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, which made the stay even more pleasant. The food was outstanding! The dishes are fresh, tasteful and creatively prepared - you can tell that attention is paid to detail here. All in all, a highly recommended restaurant for anyone who appreciates good food and great service. I'll definitely be back!

All products are of great quality and perfectly prepared! Plus a very good wine selection! It's really worth every penny! It's best to sit outside in summer!

Great atmosphere, good wine, delicious food. An evening couldn't be better!

Very good food, great ambience and very nice staff. Clear recommendation from me

Excellent tapas in a wonderful ambience! Gladly again!

Quaint and interesting atmosphere. Very personable boss and very friendly and competent employees. Food was great.

A beautifully decorated restaurant with a great ambience. You can eat there on 3 levels and in the summer also in the courtyard. The service is always friendly and attentive. Orders are taken quickly and brought to the table quickly. With seating for two, these are a little too small for a good order of tapas. The bread with aioli was very tasty, and the wine was also appealing. We accepted an incorrect delivery, that can happen. We found that some of the tapas we ordered lacked spice. Price-performance ratio is right here.

Unfortunately, you can only give 5 on Google. I would like to give more stars 😊

We stayed at the Jivino with our Spanish group (11 people) - just great!! Very tasty tapas with that certain something but not overdone, good wine, fantastic desserts and excellent service - all at a very fair price! Thank you very much for a wonderful evening, we will be back!

Super delicious food and great ambience. Unfortunately, we were seated outside a bit apart, which is why the service staff visited us a little less often

Hervorragende Speisen voller Geschmack, ausgesuchte Weine, selbstverständlich stilles Wasser nicht gekühlt serviert!, freundlicher unaufdringlich Service. Mal wieder ein entspannter und genussvoller Abend!

Beautiful, well-kept, cozy restaurant with a historical atmosphere. Delicious food and very good service.

Great little, very cozy restaurant. Very tasty tapas. Hot and cold and with very good bread and olive oil. Very friendly and attentive service staff. For the quality of the food, the prices are really ok. 😃👍

Ich habe die Jivino Enoteca Wein- und Tapasbar besucht und war rundum begeistert! Die Atmosphäre war gemütlich und einladend, perfekt für einen entspannten Abend. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und hat uns bei der Weinauswahl hervorragend beraten. Die Tapas waren geschmacklich ein Highlight – besonders die vielfalt an vegane Speisen hat uns überzeugt. Der Wein war hervorragend abgestimmt, und die Auswahl ist beeindruckend. Preis-Leistung stimmt hier absolut, und wir werden definitiv wiederkommen. Ein absolutes Muss für Wein- und Tapasliebhaber in Bielefeld!

Wonderfully cozy and very tasty tapas. And very good bread/baguette. Everything is right here. I can highly recommend Jivino. Great service.

The food was delicious, the service was good and the cleanliness was very good. I can only recommend it for parties. Best restaurant in Bielefeld

Wir waren mit 4 Freundinnen am frühen Abend vor dem Theaterbesuch Essen: die Reservierung hat nicht funktioniert, das Essen war ok, hat mich aber auch nicht vom Hocker gerissen. Bei der Bezahlung gab es echte Probleme. Wir hatten zuvor angemerkt, dass wir City for two-Rabatthefte haben (z.B. 2 Essen für Preis von einem). Es gilt nur ein solcher Gutschein pro Tisch, das verstehe ich so gerade eben noch. Das ein Wochen zuvor regulär gekaufter Geschenkgutschein für 30€ nicht gleichzeitig mit eingelöst werden kann aber nicht. Es wurde auch nicht versucht eine Lösung für uns zu finden (z.B. 2 Rechnungen 2 Pers. abzurechnen, um wenigstens den 30€ Gutschein mit einlösen zu können. Wir waren vom Jivino echt enttäuscht!

The food was really excellent, tasted great and was very well presented! Unfortunately, the service had a somewhat annoyed attitude and the wait for the food was over an hour, which dampened the joy somewhat. What should be positively highlighted, however, is the restaurant manager, who organized a table for us without a reservation on a busy Friday evening. A big thank you for that! With shorter waiting times and more attentive service, the visit would have been perfect.

I would like to give a huge compliment to Jivino's cuisine and service! The food was not only deliciously prepared, but also creative and lovingly prepared. The service was warm, attentive and very professional. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with my visit to the Jivino Enoteca restaurant. The lack of hygiene and cleanliness in the kitchen was particularly bad. During our stay we had to witness the chef picking his nose in an unobserved moment and not washing his hands afterwards. This is completely unacceptable, especially in a restaurant where cleanliness and hygiene should be a top priority. We became aware of the restaurant because of the good reviews, but unfortunately our visit did not confirm them. A visit that I will certainly not repeat.

Wonderful restaurant!!! The location and the ambience are right. The staff is very friendly and nice.

We celebrated our wedding dinner party at Jivino and were absolutely thrilled! The atmosphere in the restaurant was incredibly beautiful - stylish, cozy and perfect for our special occasion and the service was, as always, attentive and friendly. The preliminary discussion and communication were completely relaxed and always quick and completely uncomplicated. The team really took perfect care of ensuring that everything was implemented exactly as we wanted. The food was the absolute highlight of the evening! Our guests were just as enthusiastic about the various courses as we were and we received lots of great compliments about them afterwards. It was really great all around! Many thanks to the Jivino team who enriched our day with so much love and professionalism. We can recommend the restaurant from the bottom of our hearts!

Wunderbare Atmosphäre, liebevolles Ambiente! Das Essen war wie immer köstlich! Der Service aufmerksam, kompetent und freundlich! Gerne bald wieder!

Tolle Atmosphäre,tolles Essen,alles war perfekt zubereitet für unsere kleine Gruppe. Der empfohlene Wein war sehr gut und hat zum Essen gepasst. Vielen lieben Dank an das Team jivino!

We were there with three children. The waiter tried very hard but unfortunately the food wasn't as expected. The noodles were too done. And they all felt like they had the same sauce as a base. The fennel looked more like baby food than glazed as described. The wine was great! So we wouldn't go there again for the food. But for a glass of wine! Ambiance was great!

We finally got to experience the Jivino again. More beautiful than before the forced break (Corona) Kitchen quality increased,,,,, sole a dream Ambience beautiful Service top as usual Pure holiday feeling Keep it up

The festive Christmas dinner didn't work out. The portions are small. The service staff is unfriendly and indifferent towards visitors, but is happy to accept tips. We won't go there a second time and won't recommend it to others.

A nice restaurant. The food was really delicious. However, the service wasn't really good. Except for one waitress, who only took cash. But as soon as we entered, the man at the reception gave us the feeling that we were not welcome. He was super rude and treated his employees very rudely. Even when we left the restaurant there was no farewell. For me that's a reason not to come back.

Gutes Essen,nettes Ambiente,fixe und freundliche Bedienung - wirklich empfehlenswerte Location 5*****

Very, very good there. 😋 delicious Thank you very much. Barbara Heidemann

Everything was wonderful again and so delicious! Thank you for the (consistently) great service and the 1A food!!! 1.12.24

Great decor and atmosphere! Very friendly service. Tapas delivered quickly. Very tasty and very satisfied. You're not doing anything wrong.

As always, a great evening with great service and delicious food and drinks. Such a nice atmosphere in a quiet, separate room - despite the Christmas market...

It's not easy to find a good restaurant in Bielefeld, but we were very lucky with this restaurant. The food was excellent and the service was even better. I have rarely experienced such good service. And the boss we met was also a very good host.

Great food, everything really top and top experience. Kind regards Ado and Fedja

Wir waren in einer größeren Gruppe hier und hatten einen sehr schönen Abend. Das Essen war, der Service ist auch super !!!!!!

Super netter Service von Seyna. Leckeres essen und ein schönes Ambiente. Hier kann man gerne ein paar Stunden verweilen

Service excellent, bes. Seyna, Essen lecker, séparée für uns, top! Wir kommen bestimmt wieder 😋😋 bis zum nächsten Mal…

Seyna, vielen Dank für den tollen Service. Es war ein toller Abend … Das Essen war hervorragend , sehr empfehlenswert!!

Das äußerst gemütliche Restaurant liegt in der Altstadt von Bielefeld. Die Qualität der Speisen ist Top und der Service ist sehr freundlich! Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt! Kleiner Wermutstropfen- es gibt kein Bier vom Fass, allerdings hat der aufmerksame Service beim Flaschenbier (Estrella) immer für Nachschub gesorgt. Kurz gesagt, der Besuch lohnt sich!

Went there for the first time today. Mega location. Exceptional wine list with plenty of open varieties. That alone makes it worth staying in a hotel next time. The food was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Just perfect. The same applies to the location, cozy, warm and lots of corners, niches and cozy tables. And speaking of perfection. The service is friendly, extremely attentive and wonderfully uncomplicated. I'll be back and definitely not just once! Greetings from Wildeshausen!

Our favorite restaurant in BI. Just great all around.

It was my first time here in the stylishly furnished restaurant. There was a 10-course meal and it tasted excellent. The service was first class and very knowledgeable. A large selection of fine wine was available. We really enjoyed the whole experience.

We were very disappointed. At first our reservation was not found. Then they still had a table for us. The food was okay, but nothing special. When we wanted to pay, for the sake of simplicity we wanted to share a bill between 4 people, we couldn't redeem a normal voucher and a city for two coupon because the billing system supposedly didn't allow this. The service staff had no suggestions to ensure that we could bill to our satisfaction.

A nice surprise, only the best, good food, good service, good ambience, very worth it 😃👍

A beautiful Spanish restaurant. No tapas that are soaked in garlic, but everything harmonizes well and highlights the individual flavors. Great wine selection, inside you could think you were sitting somewhere in the streets of Barcelona. The service is also good, we are all human and everyone has a bad day. I think it's more authentic not to get a fake smile.

It was my first time eating here. I have to say: absolutely delicious!!!!! You can only give five stars, but they are justified. Super delicious food, extremely friendly service, great atmosphere!! I'd love to come back again.

Impossible!!!! Went there a few minutes after 10 p.m. (on a Saturday evening!!!) and wanted to have a glass of wine for two after our visit to the theater. They were no longer willing and apparently no longer able to serve us, even though the shop was half empty. Apparently you wanted to lie in bed early and put your feet up!! Hospitality and business savvy I imagine differently. Ridiculous even on his homepage: Opening hours: Daily from 5 p.m. – open end to post when the lights slowly go out after 10 p.m. Maybe understandable during the week, but for a weekend operation it's an absolutely sad picture and more than disappointing. But fortunately there were and are also other nice restaurants where you can end a nice evening.

Very good restaurant experience. Service is good, food is good and served adequately, ambience is tasteful. Recommended!

Centrally located tapas bar, tapas selection is very good, price-performance ratio is high, ambience, depending on if you come as a group, the noise is quite high, service is not particularly friendly, but not unfriendly either. My statement that the bread with the aioli was very dry went uncommented with a shrug of the shoulders. Certainly nice in summer if you want to sit outside. There is a cozy arbor in front of the restaurant.

We booked a cooking event for 17 people and were very satisfied all around. Under the guidance of the committed boss and his friendly employee, we cooked four courses together. Not only was this informative, we have I picked up one or two cooking tips, but it also tasted great. The wine selection was also very good. Finally, we were also very satisfied with the price-performance ratio. In summary: A big recommendation from us.

We celebrated our wedding (39 people) in Jivino on October 5th, 2024. The food (Flying Tapas Buffet) was outstanding, as was the all-round friendly, attentive service and the stylish atmosphere. We would be happy to recommend Marco and his team without reservation. We couldn't have imagined a better all-round package.

A really successful evening. Very nice team and a great atmosphere. Thank you for the fantastic cooking event.

Nice ambience, good food - gladly again!

The restaurant offers a fantastic atmosphere, excellent service and delicious dishes. Every bite was a delight! Absolutely recommended

Super delicious food. Really recommended

Cozy, tasty, great location, nice service

Nice ambience, delicious food, good value for money

Erstklassiges Essen, guter Wein und eine sehr aufmerksame Bedienung bescherten uns einen wunderschönen Abend in einem toll gestalteten Innenhof. Das Essen war ein Genuss für die Sinne mit hoher Qualität der Zutaten. Wir werden beim nächsten Treffen wieder hier essen!

Wir waren mit Familie und Freunden dort. Die Tischreservierung über Whats hat sehr gut funktioniert. Wir hatten uns einen Tisch im Aussenbereich gewünscht. Die Erwartungen waren aufgrund von Bewertungen sehr hoch. Als wir dort angekommen sind war jedoch nichts Vorbereitet. Wir mussten unsere Tische erstnoch selber zusammenstellen. Die Sitzgelegenheiten waren sehr unbequem. Der Service war freundlich jedoch nicht professionell. Es wurden gerne bestellungen entgegen genommen jedoch mehr konnte man nicht erwarten. Es wurde nicht auf Getränke geachtet, und von alleine wurden wir auch nicht einmal gefragt ob alles zur zurfriedenheit ist. Es wurde nicht auf leere Getränke geachtet und auf fragen und Wünsche wurde kaum eingegangen.. Der Kunde ist hier aufjedenfall nicht der König. Die Tapasauswahl war zudem sehr enttäuschend. Das essen selber war gut aber sehr geizig gestalltet. Selbst für Tapas. Somit sind wir der Meinung dass Preis Leistungs Verhältnis passt auf keinen Fall. Zu Wirtschaftlich gedacht. Keine leise Musik im hintergrund ungemütliche Lichtgestaltung. Also von "Dolce Vita ' keine Spur. Auch der Lichterbogen hat es nicht gerettet. Der Innenbereich jedoch wirkte zumindestens viel wärmer und gemütlicher. Für ein Glas Vino kommen wir gerne wieder, aber mit mehreren Persone (7) würden wir dort nicht mehr Reservieren.

Komplettpaket wie immer sensationell Location wie im Urlaub, hervorragender Wein und super leckeres Essen! Das i-Tüpfelchen ist das wirklich nette Personal 💪 Heutzutage auch nicht selbstverständlich 🤫 Da kommt man gerne wieder!!

A great restaurant, very nice, cozy atmosphere, a bit cramped but nicely decorated. It would be difficult for two people at a small table with tapas. We had reserved and were able to sit at a table for four. Very nice service and we didn't have to wait long for our ordered drinks and tapas. The olive oil, potatoes and aubergines in particular tasted great! Price/performance ratio is absolutely fine here. Definitely worth a visit!!!

There were two of us there and we had pre-booked a table. The tapas are very tasty. All around a wonderful evening.

Great ambience and super tasty tapas!

Super nice location both outside in the inner courtyard and inside - cozy, great atmosphere, courteous staff, very tasty fresh tapas, holiday feeling, we'll be happy to come back

Great service and brilliant tapas. Unfortunately we live too far away to come here often.

A top address in Bielefeld! Delicious cuisine, selected drinks and great service!

It's extremely good! The food is really tasty and there is a great selection, the service is top and the atmosphere is very cozy. An absolute recommendation.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the "GenussOase" restaurant and I just can't rave about it enough! As soon as you enter the restaurant you are greeted by a warm, inviting ambience that immediately creates a feel-good atmosphere. The stylish furnishings and pleasant music make you feel at home straight away.

Wir hatten einen fantastischen Adend im Jivino! Die Tapaswaren authentisch, frisch und mit ciel Liebe zubereitet. Besonderes hervorzuheben sind die Gambas, knusprig und perfekt gewürzt. Die Vielfalt.der Tapas ist beeindruckend, von klassischen Speisen wie Ibeico Jamòn bis hin zu modernen Interpretationen. Der Service war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Die Atmosphäre gemütlich und einladend.

Das Servicepersonal war überaus freundlich und aufmerksam, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu wirken. Man merkt sofort, dass hier die Kundenzufriedenheit an erster Stelle steht. Die Speisekarte bietet eine wunderbare Auswahl, die sowohl klassische als auch kreative Gerichte umfasst. Wir entschied uns für das hausgemachte Pasta-Gericht und Zucchiniröllchen, die einfach himmlisch waren – perfekt

A truly great restaurant. We felt very comfortable. The restaurant is comfortably furnished. All employees are always very friendly and attentive. The dishes were perfectly coordinated. If I am asked about a good Spanish restaurant in OWL, I will always recommend the Jivino restaurant.

Recommended restaurant. The food was delicious and the boss was very friendly. There were six of us and we tried out a lot of tapas. The prawns are really good, only the cream catalana wasn't quite as tasty. We found the menu a bit confusing and the chairs outside were no longer comfortable after 1.5 hours. Otherwise everything was great. We will definitely come back 👍🏼

If you love tapas, this is the place for you! There is a nice selection and all dishes taste very good. The service is always friendly and accommodating. The ambience - whether inside or outside - always invites you to feel good.

Food was ok and nice atmosphere, but way too expensive, e.g. €10 for the bread basket.

A restaurant that is worth the money. Went there for the second time today and it was again very tasty. I wish we had such a great tapas restaurant in our city. Quality always remains!

An evening alone at the Jivino Enoteca - was a good decision that I was very happy about. I was greeted warmly and when I said that I was alone, they kindly sat me at a table next to a small group so that I wouldn't be completely alone. I was really happy about that, very attentive. The wine was very good, the bread with aioli was delicious (aioli was too sour for my taste) and the selection of 6 warm tapas was a nice opportunity to try out different things. Unfortunately, 2 tapas (zucchini with feta and feta with leek and bacon) were too salty. Otherwise a lovely evening in a great atmosphere and food.

I always enjoy coming here because of the food and the atmosphere

Very friendly staff and super delicious tapas no matter what time of day😁

Just wow. The food, the atmosphere, the staff, the flair

Simply a nice atmosphere, great service and good food.. ❤️

WOW - really deserves 5 stars! Beautiful location with a special atmosphere and absolutely authentic ambience. Delicious food, delicious wine, everything delicious. Service shows real friendliness. And overall it was just nice to be here. A truly special restaurant experience. Everything is just real and we would love to come back. Thank you!

Nicely hidden in the backyard with a nice ambience 👍

This is a fantastic place with an amazing atmosphere, the cooking school here is amazing by any standard. I cannot recommend highly enough for anyone visiting Bielefeld.

Very tasty food, but everything took a long time. You should bring time.

The atmosphere is great here! The food was very tasty. Thanks!

Bad service, unfriendly service

We were turned away. There were free tables and others were also sitting outside at the tables, but not in the courtyard. We wanted to order something because everyone next to us had eaten and drank something. We were told that we wouldn't be served if we didn't make a reservation. Absolutely disgraceful as everyone outside was served. Never again!

Rarely experienced such poor service. While ordering the food, the waiter looked around. There was no bread whatsoever. The food took forever to arrive and we asked for a small bread basket to tide us over the hour wait. The food came and was very tasty. Unfortunately, no waiter came to take any further drink orders. We had to demand this. Even after that, the waiter didn't come by himself. We didn't want to sit there and pay any longer. When we paid and it was clear to us that we didn't want to pay a tip for the service, the waiter took all the money and wished us a nice evening and left, even though we still got change back. We then had to demand this back too. A real disgrace! Here, gastro rests on regular customers, who, by the way, always had refills, and a “still” good reputation. But that will soon be gone if the service does such a bad job.

If the weather is right, it's full outside, which means bring your time. It took about 25 minutes for us to get the drinks and another 20 minutes later for the food. But everything was very tasty.

Mein Highlight, neben den Tapas, ist die einladende Terrasse, die echtes Spanien-Flair versprüht! Wir waren zum Abendessen im Jivino und waren alle begeistert. Auch der Service hat uns beeindruckt. Wir kommen definitiv wieder, das nächste Mal mit der ganzen Familie!

Super Atmosphäre, entspannte Umgebung. Wir hatten ein Tapas Teller, worin alles sehr schick und lecker zubereitet war. Der Service war genau so super und freundlich. Empfehlenswert!
