La Grotta Restaurant in Oberhausen

It was probably our fault that we ordered something different from the menu at a pizzeria. We ordered four dishes from the menu. Two pasta dishes, of which the ravioli were missing, so they served us tortellini. The calamari was obviously cooked in too hot oil; the breading was hard and dark. The mixed grill tasted okay, but was ridiculously small. The value for money wasn't right for us. We're happy to spend a bit more if the quality is right. We definitely won't be coming back.

Delicious food, especially pasta !!! Very comfy and beautiful environment. Highly recommended 👌.

I highly recommend this fantastic Italian restaurant👌! A friend introduced me to it two years ago, and I've been there every now and then since then. Even though I don't live in Oberhausen. A small family celebration came up spontaneously, and LA GROTTA immediately came to mind. The first floor can accommodate a large group. There's even a heated winter garden and a bar! Restrooms, however, are only downstairs. The entire decor is also very Mediterranean. Luckily, the restaurant had room for us 15 people at the last minute. However, since not all of our guests are able to walk well, they kindly improvised a cozy corner for us downstairs instead of upstairs. The food was once again incredibly delicious, and all the guests were very satisfied. It was a lovely evening. This certainly won't be our last celebration at LA GROTTA🤗. Update: We recently celebrated there again and discovered that there are new owners who are unfortunately obviously overwhelmed with the whole process. The food is still very good, though. But the service has gotten really bad. We were there again with 18 people. This time, however, several things went wrong, which was very unpleasant for us, our guests. In the end, there was only a verbal apology. I definitely won't book La Grotta for a party again. However, I would still eat there with a smaller group, as the food is both delicious and looks great. Even if you have to wait a long time for service, drinks, refills, and clearing. It's a shame, otherwise it would be perfect!

The food is absolutely top quality, nothing to say about it, but the service is absolute crap. The biggest problem is the gigantic language barrier, as no one there speaks German literally, and if you want to order by phone, it's like trying to call the telephone office. I waited 70 minutes for the food, even though I called 40 minutes in advance and pre-ordered. During the phone call, everything was repeated three times because the lady didn't understand anything, and in the end, the order came through incorrectly because everything was misunderstood on the phone, and my new name is exactly how it was understood. In the end, the driver had the nerve to expect a tip and even stayed outside the door with a grin and then just said, "Oh, sorry, here's your change, bro." When you come home from work and just want to eat, something like that is the last straw. As I said, the food tastes great, as is the quality, but the workers and service are absolute rubbish, no one speaks German there.

Hey! Well...we ordered and were totally disappointed! The price/performance ratio wasn't right. The schnitzel was so small and the sauce was hard to come by. Not us anymore! But to each his own.

We had everything from pizza to steak. The service didn't understand German very well, and the problem couldn't be resolved easily. The steak was cooked dry and even tougher than a shoe sole.

This restaurant is a true treasure for lovers of authentic Italian cuisine. The dishes are simply fantastic – outstanding in flavor and prepared with love. You can taste the talented chef at work in every bite. However, be prepared to wait a bit, as both the food and drinks take a while to arrive. It would be desirable for the restaurant to increase its service staff to keep up with the excellent quality of the food. Nevertheless, those with patience will be rewarded with an unforgettable culinary experience. We will definitely be back!

Yes, the food was very tasty. The staff is small. There are no special meals for children. We were still very satisfied and would gladly come back.

I ordered pizza and salad last night. The driver called an hour later and said he couldn't find the hotel. My children waited two hours. I'll never order from here again!

Delicious food with good service, small restaurant

Delicious Italien cousin with different intimate spaces.

Food that truly feels like heaven, with an aroma so irresistible you’ll forget to take pictures. Highly recommended, not only for the heavenly taste but also for the exceptionally professional service from both the staff and the owner.

Unfortunately, it's very unkempty... Ashtrays not emptied, empty plastic bottles on the tables, etc. Non-alcoholic beer bottles were brought out after about 30 minutes because they weren't refrigerated. Not recommended!

Completely overwhelmed Raw bread Extras charged that weren't prepared in the meal Extremely long wait times for the food to arrive, whether at the counter or via Lieferando Order was incomplete Furthermore, food poisoning Will also forward this

Nice atmosphere.....Top service....Thank you

I arrived half an hour before closing time, but was still greeted and served very friendly, and they even accommodated variations and special requests without hesitation. The food was reasonably priced and very good. Highly recommended. I'll be back. Bravissimo!

Very good quality and delicious

The food is very good 👍 delicious 😋 The service is very friendly and always has cool sayings. We'll be back. The Aperol Spritz is delicious and highly recommended. We'll be back.

Delicious food. The place is very beautiful and has a pleasant atmosphere. Not far from the main station.

I had the pleasure of dining at this incredible Italian restaurant, and I have to say—the food is absolutely delicious. Each dish is bursting with authentic flavors, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with love and fresh ingredients. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're craving authentic Italian food and an unforgettable dining experience!

Excellent food and very nice ambience😍 perfect for dates

After the change of ownership, the quality suffered greatly. Time information is also more than nice. 30-40 was announced and after 90 minutes the food was finally there

Absolutely disappointing! I ordered a salad with chicken breast strips and pizza rolls with herb butter. There was a handful of rocket, small pieces of tomatoes, 4 slices of cucumber and the chicken breast strips that were cold, hard and extremely dry. So everything ended up in the trash. In addition, there was a hair hidden in the herb butter. It's Easter Monday, but I would have preferred an egg 🙄.

Was very tasty and inexpensive.

The pasta, especially tagliatelle here, was really tasty and reminds me of the taste in Italy. The service and ambience here are truly excellent

Very tasty food, nice atmosphere - short break in Italy

The pasta dishes, grilled meats, and chicken schnitzel tasted good, but the pizza arrived cold. A portion of pizza rolls was missing. Delivery time was met.

The restaurant looks great, the menu also seems promising, but then the atmosphere and service are definitely not Italian hospitality and service, you could already notice it with a more than half empty place on a Friday evening. The products are of good quality but just miss the Italian touch, no oil served with the pizza on the table, empty salt shakers and pepper mill also empty. The wine list is frizante but there is none, but apple schorle, the first with still water, the second was also not with much carbon dioxide. Definitely not suitable for a second time.

All the food here is very tasty and delicious😋

I went to La gotta for dinner today. The food was delicious and the owners were very nice.

Fresh salad, perfect pasta, good pizza, attentive and friendly service! What more does the guest want? A recommended pizzeria.

Great experience. Authentic Italian dishes. The ambience and environment inside is just impeccable. The food is just delicious. Highly recommended if you want a nice, calm place to dine in.

We only sat outside because there are steps at the entrance and therefore not suitable for wheelchair users. Food tasted very good.

Four of us were there on Saturday. From the outside it's rather inconspicuous but that's deceptive. Very good food, very nice staff. Price performance is completely right There are also seats upstairs and even a small terrace for the summer Can fully recommend La Grotta. It's worth it.

The food was absolutely disgusting. I ordered two aglio olio, and like any other restaurant, it was supposed to be served with pepperoni - after all, that's the best part of the dish. Instead, the spaghetti only came with tomatoes, it was dry, without olive oil as actually stated, and didn't taste good. When I called the restaurant, they said that by "pepperoni" they meant the ground variety, but didn't explain why the food was so dry or tasted so bad. Just wasted money

Food is very tasty. Pizza is not cut and is often delivered 30 minutes later than stated. Too bad.

Very nice little Italian pizzeria. Very tasty and reasonable portions. And a pleasant and friendly team on site. My tip is to eat on site, very great atmosphere:) I'll be back again

We ordered online for the third time. The pizzas were supposed to come after 30 minutes, but they weren't until , after telephone consultation, after 90 minutes with us. The pizzas were undercooked, hard and burnt on the edges. Too bad, our last order from la Grotta

We just had dinner here today and it was absolutely delicious. The service was also great and very nice. Great restaurant, I can only recommend it. Price performance is top.

Very cozy restaurant with a nice ambience. The service is very friendly and attentive. The menu is very diverse and has something for every taste.

Unfortunately we ate pizza and a side salad that wasn't to our taste. Pizza dough tastes more like bread, tomato sauce and cocktail dressing, in our opinion, like sauce from a bucket.

This is a lovely Italian restaurant with the most friendly service. Our food was delicious and the price very reasonable. We were all very happy with our meals and will definitely visit again when we are in Oberhausen.

The restaurant, which appears rather inconspicuous from the outside, surprises from the inside with its generous amount of space and cozy atmosphere. The food is very tasty, fresh and the price-performance ratio is almost unbeatable. What has to be particularly highlighted is the service from waiter Danny, who accompanied us through the evening with a lot of attentiveness and humor. We were there for the first time, but definitely not the last. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Had a nice meal and was very satisfied

Food was lukewarm Steak medium ordered came through fried Fried potatoes were cooked and a maximum of 15 slices on the plate Starter deselected per person 2 pizza rolls lukewarm I'm disappointed with the food and a shame for my money

The food was extremely tasty and of high quality. The atmosphere of the place was pleasant and inviting, which made the overall experience even better. Particularly noteworthy was the service, which was excellent attentive and friendly. Overall, I can highly recommend the restaurant.

Ate there with 20 people on the first holiday. Only got 2 drinks in 4 hours. The waitress was sitting on the stairs with her legs stretched out and fiddling with her cell phone. The order even had to be taken twice because the first one had disappeared.

The foods are tasty, place is big and the atmosphere is great. I’ve booked this place for a party and the service was very good! highly recommended

Meine Frau und ich besuchen dieses Lokal seit über 10 Jahren. Leider verschlechterten sich Ambiente (z.B. überlaute unpassende Musik) und Service vor ca. 2 Jahren, so dass wir Abstand nahmen. Kürzlich entschlossen wir uns spontan zu einem Besuch und waren (zu bester Abendzeit am Wochenende) fast die einzigen Gäste dort. Erfreulicherweise konnten Speisen, Ambiente und Service wieder an „alte Zeiten“ anknüpfen. Sehr freundliches Personal, dezente italienische Musik und eine gut belegte Pizza mit perfektem Teig. Zudem ist die Preisgestaltung (Getränke und Essen) moderat. Es gibt eine klare Empfehlung von uns und vermutlich werden wir wieder zu Stammgästen.

My wife and I have been visiting this restaurant for over 10 years. Unfortunately, the ambience (e.g. excessively loud, inappropriate music) and service deteriorated about 2 years ago, so we decided not to go there. Recently we spontaneously decided to visit and were almost the only guests there (at prime time in the evening on the weekend). Fortunately, the food, ambience and service were able to return to “old times”. Very friendly staff, subtle Italian music and a well-topped pizza with perfect dough. In addition, the pricing (drinks and food) is moderate. There is a clear recommendation from us and we will probably become regular guests again.

It's been a long time since I've eaten there again!!!The food was really delicious again!!!The service was, as always, excellent!!!👍👍

Delicious Italian cuisine in a lovely quaint restaurant. Service was fantastic and friendly. Incredible value for money for the level of quality. 4 pizzas, starters and a drink each for 70 euro is good value but especially when the quality is this high. Recommended if you're in the area.

Really delicious food. Really friendly and good service. It's definitely worth eating there. Top!!

Ate there last week and everything was perfect. Friendly welcome, we could choose our own place and the food was very delicious. The prices are also very pleasant, I will definitely come back 😊

Nice, not over-the-top restaurant with a great selection, including vegetarian options, and very good value for money.

A pleasant Italian restaurant, with an extensive menu selection. Very friendly and attentive service with excellent price-quality ratio. Highly recommended and we had a great meal there with a large group.

Delicious pizza and very good service. We'd love to come back.

An excellent Italian restaurant, with an extensive selection. Very friendly and attentive service, and very reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Really cozy place. The Pizza was very nice, maybe a bit too thick of a crust to my taste. Personel was really nice, though a bit slow in my oponion for the rond of drinks. 100% sure would go here again without thought when in neighberhood.

We come 120km away - so we spontaneously ate here by chance. From the outside it looks inconspicuous and small. But once inside you are impressed by how big and beautiful it is. Mediterranean- cozy and nice music in the background. We were there today Sat.28.9. Here around 6 p.m. and would like to praise the young man here who served us. He was incredibly nice and polite, and also super attentive to our little son. We felt so comfortable, you do an incredibly good job! The food was great - everything was quick and super cheap. If we are in Oberhausen again we will come back!

Not recommended – disappointing experience with La Grotta Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the La Grotta restaurant at all. I ordered €200 worth of food there, but it never arrived because our order was simply forgotten. And this wasn't the first time something like this had happened. The operator on the phone was rude and made little attempt to clarify the situation. Instead of an apology, we were almost made to feel like we were the problem. You can also clearly tell that the food is not prepared with love. The quality leaves a lot to be desired, which is particularly disappointing given the high prices. I definitely won't order there again. What a shame about the time and money!

We had pizza to go. Almost all of the comments (a pizza with little cheese, cutting pizza) were not taken into account. In addition, all of the pizzas were underdone in the middle. There was actually nothing going on and so it was very incomprehensible. But the staff was very friendly.

We have eaten pizza and pasta here. Both were very tasty and well cooked. My kid loved the pizza and icecream ;). We will definately visit here again.

Really nice restaurant with a great terrace upstairs. The staff was super friendly and the food was very tasty. We'll definitely come more often now.

A Delightful Dining Experience I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Grotta Restaurant , and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm and friendly service that set the tone for a wonderful meal. I tried a variety of pasta and pizza dishes, and each one was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and authentic, clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The pasta was cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of sauce and seasoning, while the pizza had a perfectly crisp crust and generous toppings that made every bite enjoyable. What impressed me most, beyond the fantastic food, was the affordability of the menu. Despite the high quality, the prices were very reasonable, making it a great value for money and different languages (e.g English) The ambiance of the restaurant was also inviting, creating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. The staff were attentive and courteous throughout, enhancing the overall dining experience with their friendly demeanor and prompt service. Overall, I highly recommend Restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Italian cuisine at an affordable price. I will definitely be returning to try more of their menu!

absolutely recommended! Must admit that the Chef got italian magic in cooking classic italian dishes. Worth every penny :)

The service was nice and friendly and it was a very comfortable evening for me. The food tasted excellent and the ambience is great. We'd love to come back

Delicious food and friendly staff! Good atmosphere

It was unclean. The menu was dirty and stuck. The Frizzantini didn't bubble. Apparently it is homemade from white wine and mineral water, which would therefore be a wine spritzer. Likewise, the Lambrusco was nothing at all. The foccaccia came with the main course, even though it was ordered as a starter. They were out of parmesan. The main courses Penne La Grotta tasted quite good. Compared to before, where we were twice, the store has declined significantly.

Very nice employees as always! I ordered a pizza that was very tasty (crispy) The mix meat plate was also great (except the salad, but everywhere in Germany it's the same salad) meat was well done and very "juicy".

INCREDIBLY BAD Repeatedly delivery times not met. Wrong food delivered. Quality of food inedible. Nausea and stomach pain are inevitable. Complaints are ignored. It's good that there are corresponding inspection offices in Germany. Which we will inform.

Delicious. Good portions. And authentic. Highly recommended.

VERY BAD!!!! Pizza tastes like cardboard, and it wasn't cut as requested. The calzone was a joke because of the size for the price!!! Then the wrong noodle was delivered. Very rude on the phone when complaining. It also took forever for it to be delivered. Conclusion: Better eat somewhere else!!!!

More than disappointing for the fifth time. You want to order food and an approximate delivery is suggested, which can no longer be met. The first few times I closed my eyes. It is enough now. In addition, cold to lukewarm food was delivered the last two times. We canceled today's order after more than 1.5 hours. It's a shame, but you won't be able to welcome us as customers/guests anymore.

Very good selection. Everything freshly prepared. Very friendly staff 👍

Very nice restaurant. Prices not exaggerated. We'd love to come back.

They make real Italian pizza, simply great

Everything is great as always,,, only the staff has become fewer... Someone else needs to be hired!

Called, 45 minute waiting time, delivery arrived incomplete after 2 hours, staff is unfriendly on the phone. We order from you more often, that's done as of today. LG

We have known La Grotta for many years from its previous owners and were looking forward to the evening in the restaurant... Unfortunately, the restaurant can no longer maintain its former times... The menu is almost identical, but the service is not really good... We were able to reserve a table at short notice, which was good... We were the only guests that evening... There was a small plate that suggested there would be something as an appetizer, e.g. B. Pizza rolls (as we were used to before) - none, the plate was just decoration... The dishes ordered were tasty. We should let us know if we want anything else, that sounded strange to us... What a shame...

Das Ambiente und auch der Service waren in Ordnung. Die Wartezeit auf das Essen war etwas lang und die Portionen etwas klein .

Nettes Personal, Pizza ist gut belegt und der Teig überraschend gut

Unsere Speisen waren sehr gut und es gab auch die ein oder andere Spezialität wie Arancini. Es war ein freundlicher, aufmerksamer Service. Die einzigen Abzüge gibt es beim Ambiente, weil es auf den ersten Blick wie ein Schnellresto wirkt, das aber gar nicht ist. Der hintere Teil ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet, wie eine kleine Grotte eben, wurde aber, als wir da waren, gar nicht genutzt. Wir freuen uns, dass es La Grotta als Kiezresto in unserer Nähe gibt - danke ans La Grotta-Team. 🙏

Stel je een Italiaans restaurant voor in je gedachten en je ziet La Grotta voor je. Aankleding van het restaurant is zoals het hoort en het eten is gewoon goed. Aanrader.

Haben heute bestellt, mussten 2 Stunden auf unser Essen warten. Erst sagen die sind gleich da, dan rufe ich wieder an dan sagen die nach einer halben Stunde, Fahrer fährt in 5 Minuten los😡

Sind spontan gekommen Essen war lecker 😋 Bedienung sehr nett Preis Leistung stimmt absolut 👍🏼

Sehr enttäuschend. Haben um 19.50 bestellt da hieß es Lieferzeit 1 Stunde.. Essen kam erst nach 2 Stunden.. und die bestellte Kräuterbutter fehlte.. Leider hatten wir das selbe auch schon bei der Bestellung vor 6 Jahren.. demnach hat sich leider nichts verändert. Die Pizza war Ok.. trifft unseren Geschmack nicht. Fazit: Wir bestellen dort nicht mehr. Das Zeitmanagement ist leider sehr enttäuschend. Mitarbeiter waren aber sehr freundlich.

Das Personal war sehr bemüht und freundlich. War nicht so routiniert, aber das war kein Problem. Die Pizza war geschmacklich top, sehr gut belegt. Preis/ Leistung sehr gut.

Mega leckere Pizza. Bin immer wieder begeistert.

Sehr leckere Pizza, hole dort immer gerne für Unterwegs. Preise sind gut. Gestern habe ich mal dort am Tisch gegessen. Die Bedienung war sehr nett, die Atmosphäre, Optik des Gebäudes und die italienische Musik lädt wirklich zum speisen ein. Sehr schöne Trattoria. Ich bin restlos begeistert.

Auf der Durchreise zufällig an diesem Restaurant vorbeigekommen. Eine der besten Pizzen die wir je hatten. Sollte es uns nochmal hierher verschlagen, kommen wir garantiert wieder.

Pizza war 👍. Arancini wie bei meiner Oma…Danke 👌. Wir werden wieder bei euch bestellen. Mfg Davide

La Grotta ist mein Lieblingsrestaurant, das essen schmeckt immer ist immer frisch, Wc sind immer sauber, preise sind ok! Kelner sehr nett, Danke Wir kommen wieder Liebe Grüße Klein

Wir waren gestern seit längerem wieder dort essen und es war wirklich super. Das Ambiente im hinteren des Restaurants ist ohnehin schön. Die Pizzen waren hervorragend, sind heiß serviert worden und waren einfach nur lecker. Der Service war auch super freundlich.

Prima pizza. Freundliche Bedienung. Ich komme gern wieder!

Der erste Eindruck von Außen war nicht gut. Eher wie ein Schnellimbiss. Wollten erst wieder gehen. Drin sind wir dann sehr positiv überrascht worden. Gemütliche optisch schöne Lokation. Italienische Musik im Hintergrund. Die Pizzen waren gut belegt und sehr lecker.

Wir sind über einen Gutschein auf das Restaurant aufmerksam geworden. Sehr leckeres Essen und freundliche Bedienung. Empfehlenswert.

Wir waren gestern dort und total begeistert. Die Pizza war heiß, knusprig, gut belegt und schmeckte fantastisch. Das Gutscheinbuch führte uns dorthin und wir werden sicher demnächst öfter dort zu Gast sein. Unbedingt mal ausprobieren!!!

Ходим сюда часто на капучинно и иногда покушать. Еду не фотографировала. Чай с натуральной мятой и медом понравился. Капуччино не очень крепкий, больше молока, Очень вкусная панакотта. Также пробовали пиццу, очень вкусная и сочная. Салат с тунцом очень понравился. Ресторан в итальянском стиле музыка постоянно итальянская, одна и та же. У них можно заказать с доставкой. Также не проблема звйти выпить кофе, в то время как в других ресторанах нужно обязательно зааазывать еду. В целом рекомендую.

Gute Pizzeria mit günstigen Preisen und sehr nettem Personal. Preis Leistung 1a
