La Cantinetta in Wiesbaden

The food was very good, unfortunately it was a little cool because the front door kept opening and closing. Otherwise I was satisfied.

The food was ok, like in any Italian restaurant. But the service was bad!! Imagine that the waiter took the liberty of saying to me "and, darling, you don't like it." At that moment I didn't start eating because I was talking to my girlfriend. This is an absolute no-go!!! Incredible. Such an elegant restaurant and such lyrics! I was just speechless and didn't know what to say. The boss should know this. No, never again. Embarrassing and uncomfortable!!

Disappointing Service – Rushed Out Despite Reservation We had a very disappointing experience at La Cantinette. Despite making a reservation, we were rushed out of the restaurant in an extremely unprofessional manner. There was no mention of a time limit when booking, yet after finishing our meal, we were asked if we wanted to order drinks. We ordered a second round, but just one minute after they were served, a waiter abruptly told us we had to leave because they needed the table for another reservation. We explained that we had just received our drinks and hadn’t even started drinking, but they insisted. To make matters worse, they started making noise around us by moving chairs and tables, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. A second waiter came over and repeated the same request, even though other guests who had arrived before us were still sitting undisturbed. When we questioned why only we were being asked to leave despite having a reservation, we received no clear response. We refused to leave until we finished what we had ordered, as it was completely unreasonable to be forced out immediately after being served. We saw a supervisor, raised our complaint, he mentioned that we were right but our evening was already ruined. This kind of service is completely unacceptable and does not align with customer satisfaction. If there is a time limit, it should be clearly communicated during the reservation process. Treating customers this way—especially when other tables were not asked to leave—raises serious concerns about fairness and professionalism. Unfortunately, this experience has left a very negative impression, and we will not be returning.

Fantastic food, service also very good, completely satisfied, clear recommendation 👍❤️

Highly recommended. The food was very, very tasty 😋

Service not attentive Service not friendly

Delicious food, service and great atmosphere.

Excellent selection of classic Italian dishes and drinks. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful. Very cozy and very affordable.

Always busy. I love the lunch menu.

Food was good and interesting but they brought me the wrong dish which of course i didn't order and eventually gave it back and had to pick something else since what i wanted was not available even if it was on the menu. Overall a nice restaurant but not authentic Italian- its a germanized version of italian food. I lived 10 ys in Italy so..

Nice restaurant in Goldgasse with Italian flair. The service was very friendly, the restaurant was well booked. A reservation is recommended. The food was very good. Unfortunately we sat near the door, which in cold weather meant it was quite cold. Although we were given blankets, it was still too cold for the women in our group. We'd love to come back again in the summer.

This is our favorite place to have lunch or dinner when we visit Wiesbaden. I have been here with my husband probably 5 times now, and everything is always phenomenal. Go during truffle season because their giant truffle gnocchi and their truffle tagliatelle pasta is amazing. We have even brought some family with us when they have been in town- everyone is always impressed. Looking forward to my next delicious meal there, already.

Authentic taste and excellent service! The tuna pizza at La Cantinetta is like it came straight from Italy - the dough is really unique and stands out from other pizzerias in Wiesbaden. Absolutely recommended! The noodles with shrimp were also perfectly prepared, fresh and full of flavor. The arugula salad came with a very good dressing, however I would recommend not storing the mini tomatoes in the fridge as they are sensitive to cold and will lose their flavor. Despite the store being full on Saturday, the service was friendly and attentive. We were lucky to get a table in just 20 minutes without a reservation. The only small criticism: our seat was directly behind the kitchen elevator area, which was a bit annoying for us. The toilets were also particularly clean, which reinforced the positive impression of the entire visit. All in all, a highly recommended address in Wiesbaden – both for the food and the service!

Great restaurant, great service, very tasty food, not cheap but worth every cent.

They have a special pizza with charcoal mixed in the crust that is amazing. They also made gluten free pasta for us. The staff was super nice to children as well.

We just had dinner at this lovely restaurant We ordered 2 Aperols and a Lillet as an aperitif, unfortunately we didn't get 2 Aperols as ordered but instead 3, all of which were charged in full. When we toasted, the big misfortune was that unfortunately one of the glasses broke while we were toasting and ruined my companion's evening wear and I was completely wet too. The boss, who unfortunately generally looked quite unfriendly, was absolutely not interested in the whole scenario, on the contrary!! I was even charged for the Aperol!!Unfortunately!!! Great shop, but the boss should perhaps rethink his attitude as a host

A warm and welcoming dinner on a cold Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day as the menu demanded! So, immediately appealing as a restaurant split between two buildings but both looking modern, yet warm and cosy. Our first thoughts were definitely not to sit outside but for those that did there were great heaters to toast their chestnuts! Now let me point out, the atmosphere only gets 4/5 stars for one tiny yet important thing. The door didn’t self close and when people left it open the cold outside air went right down our backs. It was warmed by the friendliness and cheer of the staff who very quickly grasped the issue after multiple guests complained. Now the food, oh the delights! We had multiple choices we wanted to try since many sounded delectable, so we went back on Christmas Day! We weren’t disappointed. My taste buds have booked for tomorrow, although I will be disappointed to be in a different city trying not to judge the next restaurant against this expectation! It had best be the tastiest McD ever!!! Every mouth full was a blossoming experience. I ate the smallest portions just to make each course last as long as possible. From the homely chestnut soup, the elegant yet bursting with taste gnocchi to the indulgent chocolate soufflé, I promise you’ll find something on the menu that’ll wish you’d never agreed to share a single mouthful with your partner! The staff are amazing, even grumpy after he came round! :) We’ll be returning and I can’t wait. Definitely worth a pin if you’re in the area. Ciao Bella x

In the immediate vicinity there are another 5 restaurants where the same waiter and waitress serve, and there is only one kitchen for all 5 restaurants... As soon as the waiters are stressed, they become rude and forgetful. The chefs don't like their own food because they deliver a terrible Christmas menu. It has nothing to do with Italian, I have no idea why people say that. Germans don't know what Italian is... as soon as something ends with a, e, o it's already Italian for them. Conclusion If you like Italian cuisine (Bulgarian staff) you will definitely find your dream here...

We were outside in August when the weather was nice. I enjoyed Spaghetti Vongole Veraci. It was a huge portion (and not just because of the volume of the mussels!) and was cooked fantastically. The service was also very friendly. The restaurant is highly recommended!

The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere, very cozy and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, every bite was a treat! Special praise goes to the service team: The employees are incredibly warm and attentive. It is precisely this warmth that brings us back here again and again. If I could, I would give it 6 stars!

Very nice and attentive waiter. The food was very good 👍 we would love to come back.

I had a beautiful evening on my quickly organized birthday, I was treated very well even they brought the desert with candles, the food was delicious, just perfect, many compliments to the chef who prepared an spectacular dinner, the staff was very kind, the boy who served my table was very friendly and polite. The place is nice and very clean, and very pleasant, many thanks to the cellar, you are the best. I will come back for sure!!!!!

Food was pretty good but we made sure we ordered one steak but two came out.

The La Continental in Goldgasse in Wiesbaden is a special tip. The lunch menu invites you to indulge in culinary delights for 15.90. Including a drink, you are served a two-course menu that is completely convincing in terms of both the presentation and the taste. Finally, an espresso, which is also included in the price. We came without a reservation, but were immediately shown to a free table. Getting a table at lunchtime during Advent is not easy, which is why a reservation is certainly advantageous. The very friendly service staff is very attentive and professional despite the many guests. The atmosphere is typically Italian and the furnishings are very tasteful. In summer it is worth visiting the outdoor area. Thank you for the extraordinary, delicious excursion into Italian cuisine. It certainly wasn't my last visit.

Beautifully furnished restaurant with friendly and courteous staff and a large and varied menu. The lunch menu in particular is highly recommended.

Food was good. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

Fantastic, quality, big portions, everything about this place is wonderful, staff friendly, helpful and cheering.

Everything perfect! We came in by chance and it was great. The truffle soup, the octopus salad, pasta and gnocchi – was delicious. We were also impressed by the service and the atmosphere. The restaurant is only recommended!

Simply a wow experience. We were on vacation in Wiesbaden and only wanted to eat Italian. We got exceptionally good everything ❤️very good food, great service and a nice ambience. Not cheap, but absolutely reasonable for what you get. We'll definitely be back

All four of our meals were outstanding

Very nice experience in Italian restaurant. To recomend.👍

I used to enjoy going but yesterday was a disaster. The food was disgusting. Some of the service was very friendly but some were not. The hygiene is no longer good. I would never go there again.

I had mixed appetizer platter and then pizza carpaccio. It tasted very good and the red wine was delicious.

The food is a delight!! If you're not careful, you'll forget that you're in Wiesbaden and think you're in a small alley in Rome or Florence. The customer approach is sometimes very direct, but is still packaged with enough charm. Always my pleasure!!

Everything is simply TOP, the best rest. In Wiesbaden! Even WiFi for customers. Resti employees are simply super friendly. When it comes to food, they make an effort, no matter what, only here!

I recently visited this Italian restaurant in Wiesbaden with my girlfriend, excited to try authentic Italian cuisine for the first time. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to expectations. The food was okay, but it wasn’t great. For example, my schnitzel came without any sauce, mayo, or even salt, and I had to ask for these basics. Mayo wasn’t complimentary either – you have to pay extra for it. There was no salt on the table, which is a pretty basic thing you’d expect, and again, we had to ask for it. The most disappointing part, however, was the service. Our server, who had a beard, was incredibly unfriendly and unresponsive throughout the meal. When we asked for the check, he just threw the bill on the table without a word and walked away. It felt like we weren’t welcome there, almost like the restaurant is only meant for Italians or regulars, which left a very bad impression. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a friendly atmosphere or good service. The food was average at best, and the lack of hospitality made the experience memorable in a bad way. Photos attached for reference.

We had high hopes from the outside. The serving on the plate also looks sophisticated. We didn't like it at all. Overcooked pasta... my lasagne didn't even have bechamel on it, just tomato sauce and cheese. Sauces don't taste good. Pizza doesn't taste good... We didn't have meat but pasta and pizza no...

Friendly service, good Italian cuisine and a feel-good atmosphere.

Sinister flair in the middle of Wiesbaden, everything was great

Very tasty food and you don't have to wait long.

We asked for penne instead of spaghetti with the ragu bolognese, it was a success with my kid.

Very attentive service with good food in a central location. Highly recommended

We ate there yesterday and I had been looking forward to the truffle pasta all day. The portions are getting smaller and smaller - but ok. The sauce tasted very bland and just a pinch of salt would have been enough. Also, the cheapest truffle is grated over the pasta, so the whole dish doesn't taste like truffles. I would be distracted from the cheap truffle if you at least stir a few drops of truffle oil into the pasta. Then it tastes great and no one notices anything. And then the dreary sprig of rosemary. Guys, leave him out? It bothers me for months and I think “well, maybe it was the last one left” but it really is like that every time. Then you can't charge €26 for the plate. It would be so easy and not more expensive to try harder. As I said, a healthy sprig of rosemary, a pinch of salt and a few drops of truffle oil would have been enough for a 1A dish,

I always like the service, the atmosphere and the food.

Had the fixed menu lunch @€15pp which was bargain considering the quality of the venue, location and the dishes on offer.. Also ended up there right before they closed up one random weeknight after the kitchen was closed. They were still happy to have us and improvised on what they could offer us to east and drink. Great wines are in stock always. Friendly service. Decent place for Italian food or drinks to sit back and watch the world go by..

Quality somewhat reasonable price

I haven't eaten so well in a long time!

Were there with a larger group. Everything was perfect

A very good restaurant. We received great service and it was very quick. The food could have been a little hotter.

Our favorite Italian Delicious, always varied, fresh food, great, attentive service with that certain Italian charm and wit, sensational ambience on Goldgasse, simply wonderful You feel like you're in Bella Italia See you tomorrow evening We are happy

It looks nice at first glance, but the good reviews also disappointed us. You can see the size of the portion yourself in the photo (according to the waiter, this is a larger portion; there was a mix of three dishes to try). We also waited forever for the tickets and our food. Our conclusion: the restaurant would like to give the appearance of a high-quality restaurant, but neither the premises nor the food nor the service are adequate for this.

Very nice atmosphere, food good to very good, but portions are borderline considering the price. Waiters seemed very stressed and therefore had no capacity to offer really good service.

I can only recommend very good food

The best Italian restaurant in Weisbaden! The service is a 10/10. All of the staff is very friendly and provide great suggestions if you can't decide what you would like. They have menus in English and the staff speak some English as well. Everyone is very friendly and it is very easy to make resevations online. If you plan on coming over the weekend, definitely make a reservation. I have been here more times than I can count and I have never had a bad meal. Everything is delicious. My favorites are the pastas, salads, and steaks. The truffle pasta is wonderful. The potions are perfect and every thing comes out piping hot. This is a great location to people watch. The restaurant is good for couples, families and small groups. Any time I have family visiting from the states I am sure to bring them here. The expesso martinis are the BEST! Try it and thank me later. This is also a great place to reserve for dinner parties or corporate outings. There is a parking deck/parkhaus near by that is walking distance 3-5 min walk away.

The food was super tasty, although the drinks took an extremely long time and the starters were very chaotic, especially not quite as we had ordered. However, the main course and dessert came together very quickly and tasted excellent. Unfortunately, we also had someone in service who - judging by her facial expression and behavior - didn't enjoy her work. All in all, it's a nice place and recommended.

From the service to the food to the ambience, everything is perfect here. Fabulous food, really a great recommendation 👍

Delicious food and good value for money. What bothers the staff constantly arguing.

Ivian was first indifferent and then aggressive when we requested to pay. Genuinely bizarre. Food was good; great that the menu is broad but consistently high quality. Rest of the service was fine for a larger group.

There is only one employee who has poor service and is unfriendly. It's a shame, because the other employees are very nice. Without him it would be perfect.

Very good food and friendly staff :)

Hidden away in a little alley, this gem of an Italian restaurant will delight and charm you. The food is simply delicious. I cannot describe the joy you’ll feel when you feast on the gigantic gnocchi stuffed with Parmesan cream and slathered with a Parmesan truffle sauce. Be sure to get the fresh bread and homemade salted butter and top it off with a bottle of Lugana white wine. I hope you enjoy this place as much as we did.

Today the two of us were guests at “La Cantinetta”, spontaneously and without a reservation. The various waiters were very attentive and friendly, the food was above average and, due to the fresh ingredients, more than appropriate for the price (risotto with truffles and green asparagus for €22, hand-made tortellini). Salsiccia filling for 20€). What we found particularly worth mentioning was the help with choosing the wine, it was specially provided Keller looked for a bottle of Ornelaia for us, which was then served professionally and courteously. The mixed dessert platter is more than recommended. Overall, we had a wonderful evening and would like to be a guest again at any time.

The food was good and the time between ordering and completion was fine. In terms of taste, the food was good but not particularly special that it needed to be highlighted. Very strong criticism: there were two mice running under the tables. After we pointed this out to the waiter, we were seated at… nothing more. I would have liked to have been much more accommodating from the company here. A reason for me unfortunately not to come again.

La cantinetta offers a nice range of Italian cuisine. Service was great, the food too. Highly recommend the seasonal specials

We had put together a menu from the lunch menu. As always, everything was very tasty and visually very appealing. The price/performance ratio is absolutely top. The service was friendly and attentive as always. We'd love to come back.

We had dinner at La Cantinetta for my daughter's birthday. Nice service, nice location Very good pasta especially the Cabonara. Pizza is also good, but far too little taste for a Diavolo. Lilee drinks very well. The price is a bit high but still within reasonable limits these days

The two of us spontaneously came to dinner late in the afternoon and it was well attended. Reasonably priced, nothing to complain about in terms of cuisine - great fragrant ingredients, also very fast, good service. Homemade gnocchi with truffles was a delight! Pizza just as great... Unfortunately, the atmosphere was spoiled by quite loud and recurring organizational discussions between the service employees in the outside area (about occupying the table) a la "You have to account for the table, then x number of people will sit here and over here and there...etc.") and someone who was constantly using the Kulli button loudly seemed a bit stressed. All of this could also be discussed on the sidelines. Food impeccable and highly recommended. Praise to the kitchen. The alley is very busy, as an indication for those who prefer a quieter place. We were able to enjoy the hustle and bustle and would come back.

We ate here several times. Very pleasant atmosphere, service impeccable and the food looked and tasted very good. Warmly recommended.

Price was a bit high for the quality

The ambience and the food was great. But unfortunately the service didn't work at all. No hello, no eye contact when ordering, paying, food and drinks kept being brought to our table from the wrong table. No thanks, no please. When I paid, they complained that the tip wasn't enough. It was appropriate. Actually there shouldn't have been any for the service, but there was for the kitchen.

The food was really delicious, but unfortunately it doesn't make it any better when the waiters are rude to you. I had dinner there on Saturday with a friend as a couple with a reservation. After the waiters next to us argued about space, we were forced to move back or we would have to leave at 7pm. In general, the food was very hectic and not customer-oriented. You are then asked in a harsh tone: “Café or espresso?!” and then you simply put the bill down and snatch it out of your hand while you put the money in it. Even if the food is delicious, there are enough good Italian restaurants in the surrounding area, such as Little Italy, where you feel at home and comfortable as a customer

Exzellente Küche, frische gute Zutaten, authentische italienische Küche in der schönen Wiesbadener Innenstadt! Ein wahres Juwel in der Goldgasse! Kellner sind sehr professionell!

We weren't satisfied, the food tasted normal for this price range. The waitresses were very rude, only the regular customers were treated kindly. It was our first and last time here!

Non-carbonated and warm drinks, service very unfriendly and overloaded

We had lunch, no menu. The food was mediocre, the portions were far too small as a main course, it would just be fine as a primi piatti. The atmosphere was okay.

My recommendation is the “homemade fries”, you should definitely try them. We couldn't help but laugh when they were served. Never again!

La Cantinetta in downtown Wiesbaden is a top-class Italian restaurant. Here, guests can expect not only first-class cuisine, but also highly competent service that impresses with expertise and friendliness. What is particularly impressive is the excellent wine recommendation, which is perfectly matched to the meal. The culinary experience is simply exquisite and promises a true pleasure that will make a visit to this restaurant unforgettable.

Always a favourite place to dine 🙂

It was like Italy... only in Wiesbaden

Highly recommended. We ate both dishes with meat and it was really very good. The portions are not small either. Big praise to the chef/cook.

Unfortunately, the chanterelle cream soup was pretty tasteless, but the main course (Cappellacci Salsiccia) was very good. Card reader was defective! Difficult overall situation!! What is particularly noteworthy, however, is that, according to our evaluation, the soup was taken out of the bill. Very appropriate!!

The atmosphere is nice; That's the only thing the restaurant can score with. Portions are minimalist; there is “nothing” in advance. My wife had an eggplant casserole that wasn't enough for an appetizer. We reported this, but no response! We then ate our fill of oil and pizza bread. We were charged 8.60 euros for this. An absolute disgrace. “Much ado about nothing” - I think that fits here!

Very nice shop and nice staff. Food is very good.

Everything was great but the noodles tasted like detergent and the chicken was raw

Delicious Italian food. Great selection

Last night we had dinner at the Cantinetta..... An Italian restaurant recommended by friends who live in Fribourg, thanks to them we managed to find a restaurant that could accommodate 50 people between adults and children.... We arrived from Italy to accompany our girls for the European competition of Cheerleading in Wiesbaden... Excellent food, a beautiful room reserved just for us, we had a menu prepared and we had the choice between two first courses, spaghetti with garlic, oil and chilli pepper or penne all'arrabbiata, second courses scallops in Marsala with baked potatoes or Sea bass with lemon sauce and risotto Dessert Tiramisu or panna cotta... Excellent cooking for pasta, a good aroma, very good for both first courses. The second courses of meat and fish are also very good, our girls chose between a good pizza, pasta and a second course. A nice evening... Recommended for all Italians visiting Weisbaden

Accueil horrible. Pas le temps de choisir....2 serveurs se ruent sur nous pour prendre la commande. Ils nous crient dessus et sont agressifs A deconseiller

Super tasty food, which was served shortly after ordering. The service is courteous.

Very nice outdoor area, there's something going on there, food and service great!

Sneaky waiter behavior up selling wine and asking if we wanted bread for the table not telling us it costs €9. Then charging us extra for dividing pasta with red sauce between two kids. I lived in Italy for 6 years. You'd be kicked out of the country for that. Then we got charged a "auslage" which was nearly 15% of the bill without telling us. We were two adults and two kids. The good food was undermined by the sneaky behavior. Also, portions were a bit small for the high price. We got the nicer plates dinners instead of pizza. It's your money, do what you want.

Great food with courteous service

Went there based on a recommendation. Despite the fact that we came early in the evening and without a reservation, we got a table. Even in a good location. We were also served quite quickly. However, the waitresses seemed “unmotivated” and “annoyed” to me. There were a few other small things, which is why there are only 2 stars for the service. Radler was exactly right. Temperature and mixing ratio. Top! Food was super delicious! Highly recommended, I'll even accept the "service"! Price, well, I don't think it's "too expensive". Overall, I would recommend him!

Food really great, service very, very unfriendly. Well-heeled customers are clearly preferred here. A pity! We probably won't go any further.

- Details - The lunch menu is sometimes good, sometimes just ok, but what is really disturbing is that according to the website cold drinks are included, and then on site you are told something different... 😒 (see picture and bill) Food: 3/5 Portion is very small - medium, except pizza. The optics are 5/5 star quality. It was flavorful and not bland. The dishes sound outstanding, but they don't taste anything different and groundbreaking, so that a certain addiction arises. The free side dish (bread) was served without butter or anything similar and tasted boring. It probably serves as a stuffing agent. If you've tried a lot of cuisines and don't just live in the country, then the food here really isn't that special. Service: 3/5 Depending on the waiter and the day, you will simply get an unfriendly waiter who either completely forgets the bill or is simply unfriendly. 1 star removed because the table of four got the same dish first, even though I had been sitting there for a while and had ordered the food. Otherwise the waitress would come and often ask if you were satisfied. Price: For the above-mentioned services, it is not worth it for the stomach and palate. Of course, this is something for people who ONLY eat there with their eyes or for Instagram.

favorite restaurant of me and my friends!! There is great food and great service here for a fair price.

So good, I forgot to take photos of the food. Superior service from the staff.

I was there alone for the second time yesterday with my husband. The lunch menu is great and the price-performance ratio is great. The waiters regularly check whether the guest has any further wishes, that the food is excellent, the plates are very lovingly prepared, you can really tell that your eyes are eating too. I can only recommend everyone to eat there once and anyone who has been there will be happy to come back. This wasn't our last visit. When we have doctor's appointments in Wiesbaden we like to eat there. The food is served quickly. The portions are so big that you will be full. I ate the best pizza I've ever had there and the bread that comes with the entrée is freshly made and baked in-house. We got the bread fresh out of the oven.

Prices seemed to be fair on the menu card but when we wanted to pay and they told us the final price, it didn't make any sense at all . Furthermore, the detailed bill was not provided. This is not how it should be done and we are not coming back again.

Service and staff absolutely courteous and professional and fun Ambiance very nice. Prices are averagely high, daily recommendation of homemade pasta, all 3 are absolutely great, especially the fillings and sauces Pizza was good, carpaccio pizza could have been seasoned more interestingly, unfortunately the pizza knife wasn't that sharp, the filled canneloni were pancakes, I didn't know that, and they weren't our taste either, but the seasoning and sauce and filling were good. We would definitely come back I thought it was a shame that there were four of us there for the golden wedding anniversary. You could see this, or that there was something to celebrate - other tables had more decorations, or a flower and 2 tables received a bread basket with butter as a greeting from the kitchen. Regular guests or not, you feel like you've been put behind a bit.

Not too exciting experience. Waitress who insisted on ordering as many things as possible, gnocchi with an industrial taste that certainly didn't seem homemade, drowned in cream with truffles that didn't taste like truffles. It was raining and they made us sit outside under a tent, then the rain increased and while we were getting wet we asked to change tables, the Italian waiter made a joke, but left us outside. Bill too high for the quality of the food.
