La Cicogna in Freiburg im Breisgau

Great food and attentive service however the waiter will indirectly insist a tip.

It was very tasty and convenient. I would recommend it if you are in Freiburg.

Super tasty food, fast service. Unfortunately the ambience is very loud due to the main street but all in all highly recommended

Accueil très sympathique. Nous avons mangé à midi et sommes retournées le soir pour prendre un dessert. Excellent tartare saumon/avocat et très bonne pizza. Nous nous sommes régalées.

Very tasty and beautifully presented food

Very comfortable, the waitresses were friendly and professional. What we ordered was delicious. Side salad was very large (great) Will definitely come back when we are in Friburgo again.

Great food, good expérience, nothing to regret

Pizza is amazing, exactly classic Italian - thin, crispy tough, lots of topping, very flavourful. Servers are welcoming attentive, all Italians

Food okay, prices performance is just about.

We had dinner here with 13 people on Saturday. What can I say, it was delicious as always. All dishes were served together. The service staff are quick, friendly and funny even though the house is full! We can only recommend the stork!

An experience. Great, genuine service. Great dishes, tailored to individual wishes. Noble variations of grappa. Big recommendation! Grazie Andrea!😋

Nach 3 mal klingeln konnte ich meine Reservation anmelden. Andrea, sous Chef oder bester Freund des Inhabers bediente uns. Nebst herausragenden Speisen, Pizza nach eigenem Gusto, Carpacio thuna, Taglatelli hausgemacht und schönem Salat, beeindruckte die unkomplizierte, freundliche Art des Erwähnten. Die Grappakarte sollte ein Muss sein für Liebhaber von feinen Seitenwagen. Wir hatten viel Spass auf hohem Niveau mit herzlichkeit und kommen gerne wieder. Danke Andrea!

Good restaurant. High quality food. Top service. Thank you 👍🏽 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The pizzas are absolutely delicious!

Delicious food, friendly service and nice atmosphere. Located directly at the Schwabentor.

Salad was very good, pizza was also good, unfortunately plate was cold, pasta dish was good, pasta was a bit too firm. Guest room was cold when we were told, heating was then turned on. Host is very unpleasant, very snooty, doesn't say hello and only says goodbye after we say hello. I'll never come back

Good service and good cuisine get tips. After a happy restaurant visit, I don't sit down and write reviews, I just enjoy the rest of my day. PS: This written review is a response to the owner, I wanted to leave it as a simple review. Oh yes, by the way, zero stars is unfortunately not an option for them either. -In the owner's numerous reactions, you can also see the distorted perception that a guest should somehow qualify for decent service instead of simply receiving it as a matter of course when dining out. As soon as you make demands and don't see the inside of a restaurant three times a year and have to compulsively take photos of your food, you end up with perhaps a mediocre rating.

It started with the fact that my wife's wine spritzer was served without carbonation. After a complaint, more mineral water and some wine were passively and aggressively poured in. We then wanted to cancel the meal and pay for drinks when the waitress enthusiastically tried to remedy the situation. The carpaccio came with pickled peppers poured over it, everything just tasted incredibly like peppers. The ragout arrived on her plate served differently, with tougher meat. After complaining - she explicitly said that she didn't care whether it was charged or canceled, she wouldn't eat something like that - a young man came to the table who wanted to talk about the resources that were used up for a meal ?? Then comment on my wife's review by saying that I was probably satisfied? We had mineral water, wine spritzer and wheat beer (you can't go wrong with mineral water and wheat beer). My antipasti was garnished with an oily strip of fish, which made almost everything taste like fish. The ragout had no taste for me, I only ate some of the side dish because you don't usually go to a restaurant full! Simply surreal. Regardless of the complaints, we paid the full invoice amount of €122 without any discussion.

Warm welcome, pleasant service and delicious food!

I would like to say at the outset that I actually had no desire for Italian and was simply very pleasantly surprised. The service was perfect, he knew his trade from start to finish and was very accommodating. There were four of us and we had 4 different starters (the antipasti plate was forgotten in the photos) and 4 main dishes. I was able to try them all and found them all very good. The highlight for me was the tortellini with pumpkin filling (9.5/10) the other 3 dishes were all 8/10 but this is of a personal nature. The starter soup was great and the rest of the starters, especially the Vitello Tonnato, were very good. Can recommend the visit without reservation.

Mice are running around in the restaurant room

Very tasty with a family atmosphere, almost like in the living room

Very pleasant restaurant with excellent food. Very friendly waiters. I liked it very much.

not the best Italian but it's ok, on the other hand the pressure at the end for the tip is average, I know how to read in English there's no need to explain it to me a second time. One star for service.

A nice pizza. There you go. There are cocktails 🍸 🍸 and there is also pasta. The number of urinals is impressive.

Always the same menu, little gluten-free

Nice atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food Price-performance is okay

The food was very tasty and fresh, the waiters were very friendly and committed, everything went well! My sea bream fillet with pumpkin risotto was wonderful and the tuna fillet with tagliatelle was great too! Thank you!

IF YOU ARE NOT FROM THEIR TRIBE, STAY AWAY: Racist personels with conducting behaviors potentially subject to a hate-conduct case in the court. Me and the two other friends of my are 3 doctors from Basel, Switzerland. One of our friends, who is indeed rated number 1 in the doctoral program, was wearing Hijab. The waiter was not looking at her from the very beginning, and was "throwing" the dish to her, instead of placing it in front of her. The waiter made a sigh and grabbed the menu from us aggressively sound after "one out of 3" of us said she would go with the food without drink. Please see the bill. We paid attention and he was smiling and laughing with German locals sitting at the table next to us. If we were not tourist passing by this town, we would have called the police. Edit: After the most extremely rude response of the owner: which is the best proof ever of my comment, I am sharing our picture on the bad day of ours taken in their restaurant here-they were too late with the pasta, when we asked for it with a kind smile, the waiter rudely said we were not the only one in the restaurant. so although it is in the bill (left picture) not on our table (right picture)attached for the readers to judge themselves.

Very friendly service and delicious food - gladly again!

We had dinner at La Cicogna with our granddaughter (4 years old). The food and service were excellent. Also very good in terms of price. Large portions. Our service was an absolute hit. A big thank you to Ronny, our... Granddaughter “served” her so nicely. From picture and coloring books, colored pencils (very important - with pencil sharpener) and not forgetting the final lolly, everything was perfect. When we are in Freiburg again, we would love to come back. Our granddaughter doesn't just have 5 stars, but an entire starry sky.

Superb Italian restaurant, very cozy, nice atmosphere, the pizzas are excellent among many other equally tempting menus. I highly recommend!!!

For us the best pizzas in Freiburg, of which there is a nice selection. The starter with beetroot carpaccio, sheep's cheese, mozzarella, nuts and mustard vinaigrette was very tasty and a good start. Reservations are definitely an advantage! Always a pleasure to be a guest at La Cigogna!

Wir waren mit unserer Enkeltochter (4 Jahre) zum Abendessen im La Cicogna. Das Essen und der Service waren ausgezeichnet. Auch preislich sehr gut. Große Portionen. Der absolute Hit war unsere Bedienung. Ein dickes Dankeschön an Ronny, der unsere Enkelin so nett "bedient" hat. Von Bilder- und Malbüchern, Buntstiften (sehr wichtig - mit Stiftanspitzer) und nicht zu vergessen der abschließende Lolly, war alles perfekt. Wenn wir wieder in Freiburg sind, kommen wir sehr gerne wieder. Von unserer Enkeltochter gibt es nicht nur 5 Sterne sondern einen ganzen Sternenhimmel.

Delicious Italian with nice decor and nice staff.

Good value for money. I found the staff lacking in courtesy, not even a thank you after payment. Staff must consider customers better.

Essen und Ambiente alles super. Tel. sind die nicht erreichbar. Keiner nimmt ab, kein AB. Können das Telefon abgeben. Leider keine Tischreservierung möglich. Haben auch kein Email. Schade

Very tasty dishes and super nice service!

Great restaurant very good service and the food👍👍👍 great quality and taste excellent. We'll be back.

Despite the restaurant being almost full, we girls received a very warm welcome and hospitality this Saturday evening. The delicious food and the fabulous service were a successful end to our weekend trip to Freiburg. Ciao, grazie mille...alla prossima volta.

We went here spontaneously for dinner yesterday. Shortly after 6 it wasn't a problem to get a place for two. After that it filled up. We had a mixed starter platter and two different pastas, one tagliatelle with pike-perch, one spaghetti with pumpkin-feta sauce, all very tasty. Recommended.

Very friendly staff and wonderful Italian food. Highly recommended. We were there with 11 people and everyone was happy.

Very cozy, really good food at moderate prices.

We were here spontaneously. Very tasty pizza and the pasta with porcini mushrooms was also very successful. The service was also excellent

Rarely have I eaten such incredibly delicious pasta! Super nice, attentive service, price performance completely reasonable. Clear recommendation!

Such a great Italian restaurant. You should go there if you are in Freiburg. Great food, I'm thrilled. I ate pike perch on tagliatelle in saffron sauce and with vegetables. 1a 👌

Highly recommended, good service and great dishes with a good price-performance ratio.

We stopped by the restaurant spontaneously and were surprised by the beautiful atmosphere and the friendly atmosphere n atmosphere. We had a Mageritha pizza with basil, and a pizza with ham, tuna, mushrooms and sheep's cheese, plus 2 Wheat beer. All I can say is it was sufficient and very tasty 😋.

Great restaurant, the food was very tasty and the price is justified. The restaurant is located at Schwaben Tor and that makes the location on the terrace very nice. The service was very professional! I'd love to come back.

Very nice restaurant. The food was very tasty and the service was very good.

I liked the pasta and chocolate cake with ice cream that I had.

Refused to serve us a pizza for two people. Drinks were no longer allowed to be ordered because the waiter ran away stubbornly. Hospitality non-existent.

Top service, very good food, cozy, child-friendly.

Horrible from A-Z. Ultra unfriendly service (the older gentleman) - super inauthentic “kitchen”. If you want to go to an “Italian” - you won’t find what you’re looking for here. For us it is clear - never again

Very nice atmosphere on the edge of the pedestrian zone, very nice service, good value for money, beautiful place to sit outside.

Nettes italienisches Restaurant mit Geflechtes Ambiente, schöne und gute Küche. Eine gute Adresse in Freiburg. Gerne wieder!

Food was so oily that I vomited afterwards. Also very expensive but the atmosphere is nice. Maybe just had a bad day

Best Italian in Freiburg! The overall package is just right there. I'd love to go there :)

There are flies and wasps to stop a train

The Bruscutto is a dream, highly recommended.

Very nice pub. Friendly staff. Good prices

Great food and location in a beautiful city

Ce n’est pas mauvais mais très simple pour des prix bien élevés… Le service est correct et assez sympathique malgré une attente assez longue.

Was very happy with the 3 course menu

Main courses were tasty (cocktail and dessert not so much). The service was good. It was however, very hot and no AC or ventilation of any kind. There is no kids menu .

It is a great place for a great meal! Excellent food, the original Italian style, good service, great scenario! We will be back 😀 Mille grazie!

Very nice place to have a date or just a great time with somebody. Food is very delicious and I would recommend to take some pastas with tuna. Also, the location is quiet and adds to general atmosphere.

Absolute Empfehlung und garantiert kommen wir wieder. Essen Top, schneller und sehr freundlicher Service. Die Speisen waren hervorragend zubereitet, die Getränke kalt. Preis-/Genuss Verhältnis eine 1. Unser Kellner Christos hatte das schönste Lächeln diesseits von Athen.

Had dinner there yesterday evening. All the dishes were impeccable. Delicious wine and the Fernet Branca was served according to our wishes. The waiter, Christos, greeted every guest with a smile and is friendliness personified. A treasure! We really, really enjoyed the evening!

Why go anywhere else when the good is so close. We experienced super friendly service and were greeted with a big smile. The food came to the table promptly, without a long wait. You have the processes under control. The food was perfectly prepared and tasted excellent. The white wine was cold. The portions - good for the hungry guest - too big. Our waiter Christos was great. The only thing that could have topped the perfect experience would be if he had given me his phone number for a next meeting 🤪 absolute recommendation!

Excelent italian food, very good service and friendly waiters. We ordered 2 pizzas, pasta and lasagna. Everything was perfect, taste and service.

We had dinner there on August 2nd, 2024. It's rare to have such friendly, courteous staff and that didn't just apply to the waiter who served us. Due to the temperatures, everything outside was already occupied, but since it was supposed to rain later, we decided that we would prefer a seat in the restaurant. We found a bright, tastefully furnished restaurant with pleasant temperatures thanks to the open windows. The bruschetta is second to none and the pizza and pasta with salmon were also very tasty and the portion sizes were more than sufficient. This amount of salmon with pasta is not a given in every restaurant. Other dishes such as spaghetti bolognese also looked very appetizing. It was an all-round successful evening in a pleasant atmosphere. That's why we ended the evening there with an aperitif. All in all highly recommended.

By chance we ended up at Storchen La Cicogna. No regrets. Authentic pizzas with an excellent base, excellent ice cream sundaes and an award-winning enoteka. Recommended! Great Italian food in a more remote part of the Freiburg city center. The Storchen La Cicogna surprised us with great pizzas, so: all good. Please note that they are a great ice bar and award winning winery / enoteka as well! Recommended!

Earned full points! Everything was great! The food was very tasty and generous portions!

We have been guests at the Storchen several times, but today we were very disappointed. We were seated in front of a glass shelf and opposite the counter/food serving area. Since you needed the glasses from it, you had to duck every time. You should really think about whether you should use this table or whether you can perhaps find another place for the glasses that would be happier. The food was okay, but unfortunately not outstanding or special. For a €16 pizza with crab and garlic we expected more. We didn't taste any garlic, the crabs were unfortunately of poor quality and there was absolutely nothing green/fresh on the pizza. Pizza tuna was okay, also the bruschetta and the spaghetti napoli. If you offer a drink with vermuth and tonic with an orange wedge, then you as a guest should also find the orange and not be blessed with a slice of lemon, which doesn't go well with a rose vermuth at all. Or you talk to the guest and explain that the oranges are out ;). Unfortunately, my dress was stained with salad dressing when the service was clearing it away. That can happen, that's why people are at work. But what bothered us was that they didn't offer cleaning of the dress or a small drink, an espresso or something similar on the house. That would have been a gesture that we would have greatly appreciated. And it's just one of the services and doesn't cost that much for the owner. Today we had the feeling we weren't welcome. A pity!

Great Italian restaurant with big choice of tasty dishes.

Very unpleasant waiter. Gets annoyed because we hesitate for a second following one of his questions. Gets annoyed again because he doesn't understand my daughter's response in English even though she is almost bilingual. A change of career is necessary!

Very nice atmosphere. Nice and courteous staff. Delicious food.

Pizza was overbaked, very greasy, had cheap looking and tasting cheese and salami. Pizza we were served looked alot like the frozen dr. Oetker pizza. The ravioli were overcooked aswell. When we told the waiter that the pizza wasn’t to our liking and that it looked nothing like the traditional italian pizza he responded sarcastically with: “Then go to Italy!!!” Since it says that they’re offering italian cuisine they should consider being better at it. Thank you for your time reading this longer review. This was written for good cause only!

Totally great and delicious restaurant

I advise everyone not to order a salad. A side salad is also not recommended. The salad dressing is extremely bad. The other food was mediocre.

I visited this restaurant today on a Thursday around 6pm. The weather cooperated, so I was lucky enough to get a spot on the terrace. It was cozy and it was getting more and more crowded... I decided on a pizza, that was the right choice. In my opinion one of the best pizzas recently. The service was very friendly and attentive. If I lived in Freiburg, this could be one of my favorite places ☺

Super nice and friendly service! The food was fantastic, had risotto rice with asparagus and prawns. It's very nice to sit right at the Schwabentor.

That was true yesterday on June 10, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. so perfect food. The food was really excellent, the service was very friendly and it was a perfect end to our 4 day short vacation.👍👍

Very nice restaurant with friendly staff, good service and delicious food. Reasonably priced, but the same everywhere. We can only recommend the stork

Best spaghetti aglio e olio! Very, very tasty! Compliments to the kitchen! Cozy, beautiful outdoor terrace, right below the Schlossberg. Friendly service, not a long waiting time. Good value for money. Unreserved recommendation of this nice location!

Great service and very good food. I can recommend the restaurant with a clear conscience

Great food, great service, everything was great!!!

very good service Responds very well to guests' wishes Very friendly and always checking for guests to see if anything is missing Always happy to come back Food was very tasty

Very nice, stylish Italian restaurant. The food was excellent and the service was attentive yet discreet. Just the way it should be. We would like to come again. Thank you!!!

I ordered a lasagna & got a fish lasagna!!? Very bad service!! Never again!

Very nice restaurant with a great ambience.

Very friendly, good prices, delicious food

The food tasted great, but unfortunately two dishes were brought to the table completely incorrectly. It was probably a misunderstanding but still very annoying because food was prepared for free. But we will definitely give the restaurant another chance

Very tasty Italian. We recommend the beetroot carpaggio as a starter, the pizzas and pasta dishes are very good. I had the pike perch on tagliatelle...mmh! For dessert, a tiramusu or panna cotta and not forgetting a good coffee. We will be back.

Great restaurant, Delicious food, Nice friendly service

Very nice ambience - a place with a lot of atmosphere. The service is extremely friendly and attentive, the cuisine is sophisticated and very tasty. We recommend!

They make a difference in treatment between Germans and foreigners. So we were looked down upon because we were not Germans.

The lasagne was too “mushy” for me. The Italian flavor was missing in terms of taste. There is still room for improvement.

We were in the pizzeria around lunchtime and had free choice of seating. Little by little the places became more and more occupied. We received friendly service and were able to order quickly. The pizza came quickly and was very tasty. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice and the location is great. From the terrace you have a beautiful view.
