L´Osteria in Kollweiler

As a guest who hadn't made a reservation, I was lucky enough to get a table. I felt very comfortable and warmly welcomed. The Italian owner is a lovely lady with a pleasant temperament, which I personally found very welcoming. The food (steak with herb butter, fried potatoes, and extra grilled vegetables) was delicious, and the price-performance ratio was good. The atmosphere was very cozy and warm. One thing that can be seen as either positive or negative, and isn't the fault of the restaurant itself, is that there was practically no mobile reception, or in my case (O²), no reception at all. This is actually a plus if you want to eat undisturbed (even with the "digital kids") without constantly having to check your phone. I can confidently dine here and thank them for the wonderful time I had as a guest. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll gladly come back, but a reservation is recommended, especially during peak hours.

My wife and I dined here last evening. We live over in the next village Jettenbach and walked over on a trail. We were very pleased with everything. We got a table immediately, and they had English menus which was very helpful as our German is not the best. I first ordered a gin and tonic, and it truly was the best gin and tonic I have ever had. The bread they brought to the table was incredible. Freshly baked bread, and some of the best bread I've ever tasted. We got the baked feta as an appetizer, and that was probably my favorite dish we ordered, it was incredible, the cheese was so good, and it was cooked to perfection. As out main dishes I ordered a salmon salad that had some of the tastiest salmon and my wife got pasta, she really loved the pasta. We then got the chocolate mousse and pistachio dessert which were also amazing. Altogether our meal was €70, which I feel was very reasonable for the quality of food. We will definitely be back sometime, and I highly recommend this restaurant. Finally the staff was incredibly friendly, the waitress was such a nice lady, and very helpful. Thank you!

A lovely Italian restaurant... you feel right at home thanks to the warm and welcoming service... The food is outstanding... I've never had better tagliatelle than Salmone... and the freshly baked pizza bread is divine... It won't be the last time we eat at Giusi's...

Looking for an authentic Italian restaurant? l’Osteria in Kollweiler was SO good! Right now they have decorations and adult beverages Halloween themed. I had the black widow martini with blueberry syrup and it was very good. I ordered the steak salad with their homemade Greek yogurt dressing and it was delicious! So creamy and the steak was cooked to perfection. My husband had the spicy sausage pasta with saffron and it very tasty. The kids had Hawaiian pizza and plain noodles with oil. Pizza was good but it doesn’t outshine their homemade pasta. Dessert was our favorite. We had the pistachio tiramisu and chocolate soufflé. The tiramisu was so light and airy. I’ll be dreaming of it until I go back. The soufflé was so good and rich that the kids were nearly licking the plate clean. I highly recommend this place. The lady who helped us was so sweet to our kids (age 10 and 6), and the ambience was perfect in this extremely old building. I look forward to a gorgeous evening for sitting out in the courtyard.

The food and service were simply perfect. Everything is just right here, and we will definitely come again. Thank you for the lovely evening.

We visited L'Osteria and were absolutely thrilled. From the fantastic service (the owner is truly exceptionally warm!) to the simply superb and truly traditional Italian food. There's nothing comparable here in the region! Thank you so much, we'll be back!

The most fantastic meal! Absolutely love everything about this place! The owner welcomes you like family and we enjoyed every bite of each meal. Will definitely be back!

Great, great, great. Very friendly service and owner. It was just over 22°C... we sat outside. Lovely ambiance and very clean. Innovative bruschetti on pizza dough. Everything was freshly prepared - as was the bot in the salad. Everything had the right touch of Italy in the best La Mama quality. The portions were generous, and the food arrived in a timely manner. The wines we tried were also top-notch and typically Italian. Even the mineral water was a top-quality Italian import. --we'd gladly go back...

Amazing, authentic Italian food! Josie and her staff are SO friendly and kind. They gave us a wonderful dinner and wine pairing recommendation, and accommodated my food allergies with no problem. I had delicious gluten-free pasta. We will be back here during our time in Germany!

Nice Italian restaurant, run by Italians, a little out of town. The restaurant was packed on a Friday night, including some larger tables, resulting in a higher noise level. Mostly Americans. Delicious food with daily specials, not cheap but commensurate with the quality. Attentive and friendly service. Overall, very decent. We'll be back when we get the chance.

Very, very tasty and really friendly service.

We loved it here, the patio is gorgeous. The food was amazing, perfect atmosphere and really great service. I highly recommend the puglia bruschetta and the steak with port wine mushroom sauce and rosemary potatoes. This place is really special and we will be back.

Most authentic Italian food, actual Italian cooking amazing service and great atmosphere. Dishes feel and taste personalized.

The only regret we have about L'Osteria in Kottweiler is that we didn’t discover it sooner. After two years of settling for average fare in the KMC area, we finally decided to try something new, and we were absolutely delighted. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the hostess (possibly the owner), who effortlessly floated from table to table, conversing with guests in four different languages. Her energy lit up the room, and her hospitality made us feel like we were being welcomed into someone’s home rather than just another restaurant. She guided us through the drink menu with care. We ordered an Aperol Spritz (expertly made), a crisp Pils, and some still water. To start, we shared the bruschetta and Caprese. The bruschetta, served on pizza dough as described on the menu, was topped with fresh tomatoes, garlic, and basil, simple and delicious. The Caprese was also a standout: far more than just mozzarella and tomatoes, it was elevated with basil, a hint of salt and pepper, and a drizzle of balsamic that brought it all together. For the main course, we enjoyed three dishes: a hearty ragu pasta, pillowy gnocchi in a rich gorgonzola sauce, and a pasta dish with ‘nduja, a spicy, spreadable pork sausage from Calabria. Each one was bursting with flavor, clearly prepared with pride and attention to detail. I ended the night with a perfectly executed affogato, a sweet finish to a memorable meal. What truly set the evening apart was the atmosphere, the buzz of the dining room, the care in each dish, and most of all, the sense of pride and warmth from the hostess. It’s the kind of dinner experience you don’t forget. I would return in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend L’Osteria to anyone looking for a genuine, soul-warming meal.

The interior is small but nice and cozy! The food is delicious, highly recommended! Very friendly staff. The restaurant has a lovely courtyard. There are a few parking spaces right next to the restaurant. Reservations are recommended, at least for the inside.

Nice family atmosphere and food tasted almost perfect. Jut wish that all the dishes were not so salty.

The food was amazing! We stopped by our last night in Germany and wished we had stopped sooner! My kids are still talking about what an amazing meal it was. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming and the host was very friendly. Absolutely recommend 💜

The best Italian restaurant in our area! The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly.

If you are wanting a quick meal, this is not it. They don’t have food ready to go it’s made as it’s ordered. I have yet to be disappointed. Delicious is not suffice.

You will never leave hungry or disappointed. Josie's place is special; homemade, lovingly prepared, fresh, amazing wine choices. Reservations recommended simply because it is a small intimate place. We've brought our children to an earlier seating but the meal can run long so we tend to visit without them. Have never had anything bad there. Josie also is an excellent somoliar.

The food was great! The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was cozy.

You can always have a good meal here. The staff is very friendly. The only downside is that the drinks are too expensive.

Absolutely amazing! The chef herself came to us to take orders. My party ordered half the menu and we shared! It was all amazing!!

- Small, fine restaurant - A small menu, but perfectly adequate - A variety of dishes and desserts - Friendly service Conclusion: Good value for money

L'Osteria is my favorite restaurant in Germany. It is nestled in the middle of a quaint village, has a very nice atmosphere and tremendous food. Always ask about their specials!

Very delicious food! Very friendly! Definitely recommendable!

The food was amazing and the service was fantastic

This restaurant is hidden gem. Delicious food every time. I seldom like steak from a restaurant, but theirs is always good.

Very tasty food, fresh ingredients, but carelessly prepared, service very friendly, we will be back

The food is absolutely delicious. This was our third visit. We have tried a variety of menu items and they have all been wonderful. They have a lovely outdoor patio when the weather is nice. They could use an additional staff member or two, but it is always worth the wait!

Great food, good drinks, wonderful staff. I will be back!

Super delicious food and a great team. We always love being there!

Pizza and bruschetta delicious. We had made a reservation and were seated in an adjoining room because there was a group of people in the restaurant. 40 people would come. The next room was probably once a town house and was only carelessly furnished with a few hall chairs and tables. When we paid after 1 1/2 hours, no one of the 40 people was in sight.

Very beautiful and very friendly

We were there in a larger group. Everything went well. Great service. Food delicious. Prices ok. Can be recommended.

Very nice place, super delicious food. The service was average, but I would return because the food was so delicious!

The owner is a very sweet person and the food is delicious! Highly recommended!!

As good as a visit to Italy! Super tasty food, very friendly service, a must for anyone who likes to eat well.

Very friendly service. Delicious food. Prepared with love. Highly recommended

Very cozy. Friendly staff. Would come back here! One of the best Italian food in Germany so far. Reminds me of my time in Italy! That tells you something. I’ll be coming back here again! 100% recommend.

Where to start? Beautiful location, absolutely wonderful food, as an Italian I can say that eating at their place took me back home, typical preparations, and excellent choice of raw materials, a good selection of wines, typical Italian hospitality with all our warmth and tricolor folklore, we want to talk about giusy, a very professional, nice person with a passion for her work that you can see in her eyes every time you pay her a compliment. highly recommended!

Food very tasty Service great and always a smile on your face. Always my pleasure. Reservation essential There are enough parking spaces.

Incredible restaurant. Every single item my wife and I have had had been amazing. My wife loves their potato gnocchi and their pesto pasta is to die for. All the food is incredibly fresh and delicious. The workers there are so nice and have such a great attitude.

Really yummy food And very nice people

Very good food freshly made. Very friendly!

Amazing food and amazing service. The owner is so sweet!

Sehr gutes Essen, freundliche familiäre Atmosphäre. Sind regelmäßig zu Gast, und waren immer zufrieden

Food is absolutely amazing. Service couldn't get any better. Such great people. Helpful and polite. They're quick even with limited amount of people. I would eat here everyday if I could. The price is great as well. I would be spending more at a place that taste worse and the service is bad. 10/10 for everything.

Alex and his mother were a joy to work with and were accommodating when I had to change the scope of my evening. The food was delicious and I plan to make many more trips out to Kollweiler to enjoy the food and atmosphere. So worth the trip.

We love coming to Osteria. The food is always exceptional, the wine is always amazing, and everyone is always so wonderfully welcoming. As other reviewers have mentioned, you feel like a part of the family. Great date night option or just dinner with friends! The homemade Tiramisu is to die for!

This is easily my favorite restaurant in the area. The pasta is fresh and I don’t think you could order a bad dish here, truly! The service is wonderful and welcoming, and they even recommended the perfect wine to pair with our meals. The linguine alla carbonara was the best I’ve ever had!

Hervorragende Pizza mit sehr gutem Teig und exzellenten Zutaten und sehr freundliche charmante Bedienung

The food was really tasty, the service was warm and very attentive, you felt very welcome. The recommended wine was a poem. It was a very beautiful evening.

Very, very good, everything was fine again

Very tasty food. Highly recommended.

Sehr gutes Essen, gut gewürzt, reichhaltig, sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Wirtin, ein absoluter Geheimtipp.

Hostess was lovely! She was so polite and attentive.

Einfach nur schön da und super lecker

Wir haben eine Location gesucht um den Geburtstag meiner Frau zu feiern. In dem Restaurant waren wir bisher nur einmal mit Freunden und fanden das Essen da schon sehr gut. Nach einigem Überlegen ist uns das Restaurant wieder eingefallen und wir haben reserviert. Der Service war top. Der Koch hat sich mit uns in Verbindung gesetzt sich nach unseren Wünschen erkundigt und mit uns gemeinsam ein Menü zusammengestellt. Die vier Gänge waren auf einem sehr hohen Niveau zubereitet worden. Egal ob Suppe, Fisch, Fleich, Eiscremevaiationen, uns hat es sehr gut geschmeckt.Die Bedienung am Tisch war herzlich und zuvorkommend.das Ambiente italiänisch meditiran rustikal. Der Preis ist auch gut. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

What a gem of a place. The food is divine, not to mention the lovely atmosphere and the effort on the part of the restaurant to make it a wonderful experience being there. Highly recommended

Ein tolles italienisches Restaurant, mit mal ein paar anderen Gerichte. Die Besitzerin ist super nett und zuvorkommend. Es gibt eine paar Tische im Freien.

Gemütliches Restaurant,mit Super netter Gastgeberin und Personal😉. Tollem Koch👩‍🍳. Lecker Essen 🍽️🍽️🍽️und herrlichem Dessert 🥞🥞. Nicht zuvergessen den Tollen Wein🍷🍷und Expresso ☕. Ein gelungener Abend😁😁😁Gerne wieder👋👋👌👌👍👍👍

Lekker eten aleen duurde heel lang

Great food! Great service. The place was packed and although we went without a reservation, they made a table for 5 in minutes. Fantastic food! Grazie mille!

Sehr schönes Ambiente super Service und leckeres Essen

Es ist immer wieder eine Freude dort Essen zu gehen! Sehr gute Qualität. Ich kann es sehr empfehlen.

Sehr schöne außergewöhnliche Essenauswahl.👍 Nettes Ambiente.👍 Sehr freundliche Gastgeberin😊

I love this restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was a vibe, and I don’t want to use the word server because it felt more like a family member bring out a home cooked meal made with love. Truly authentic and will be spreading the word about this quaint establishment. ♥️🔥

I go here all the time. It's fabulous every single time

The patio is really nice in early summer, to relax and enjoy the evening. However, I was unfortunately disappointed with my carbonara: the guanciale was not crispy enough, and the dish was overall very salty. The rest of our party enjoyed their food, so maybe I was just unlucky!

From the moment we arrived at the restaurant, the attention was spectacular. We ordered appetizer, main course and dessert, absolutely everything was delicious. My two-year-old daughter is very picky to eat and she loved everything and she asked for more 😊. Desde que llegamos el trato fue espectacular. Pedimos aperitivo, plato principal y postre, absolutamente todo estaba riquísimo. Mi hija de dos años es muy picky para comer y todo le encanto y pedía más 😊.

Polecam serdecznie pyszne jedzenie

This is a nice little gem. I enjoyed the food very much. The host was very friendly and very helpful. Food was tasty and different. I will go back there for another delicious experience.

Absolute Empfehlung: super leckeres Essen, sehr herzliche Leute. Reservierung empfohlen - offenbar hat es sich schon herumgesprochen.

Really good foot and drinks, Service is very friendly and helps a lot to find the best wine for your self🫶🏽

Super Restaurant, sehr gute Speisen und Getränke, klasse Bedienung komme gerne wieder

Went to dinner with friends, and the staff was very welcoming. The food was delicious and the price for pizza was good. My only issues were that the cost of water was very high (6.5 euros), it took a while to get food, and the inside dining area was very warm.

Super nette Bedienung, leckeres Essen und faire Preise! Immer wieder gerne.

Very good Italian food, highly recommend and please reserve a table before you come. Staff is extremely friendly and welcoming.

Der Pizzateig ist meeeeeega .....aber das komplette Essen ist einzigartig gut hier

Kleines gemütliches Restaurant, die Pizza sowie das Dessert waren super lecker 👍 Freundlichkeit wird hier ganz groß geschrieben. Preis Leistung ist überragend, finde es sogar fast zu günstig 😅 für die Qualität. Dies war der erste Besuch, aber definitiv nicht der letzte...
