LaVita Cafe-Restaurant Überlingen in Überlingen

The food was very good and the service was also very friendly. The only problem was perhaps the restrooms, which, while not dirty, were a bit uncomfortable.

Mega delicious food and very friendly service

Top customer service, nice place, delicious beer 🍺, good crappa and very good coffee ☕️, absolutely recommended!

The food was good, but the service was very unfriendly and rude. We were greeted by being told that the people at that table had been sitting there forever and were finally leaving, and that he could finally seat people who "bring money" and leave quickly. The service was also very harsh and irritable toward other guests. We had three pizzas that tasted good, but one of the pizzas, which usually arrive uncut, was already cut in half as if with a knife and was almost cold. It was probably another guest's pizza. That was completely unacceptable. All in all, the atmosphere was not pleasant due to the sometimes rude manner of the service.

The food was fantastic. The staff was excellent, and the ambiance was fantastic. The location is perfect.

This restaurant is one of several on the lake promenade that primarily caters to tourists in droves. They try hard, but it's not so easy with a packed terrace. The service is averagely friendly, and you're served fairly quickly, but of course, stress is unavoidable. In addition, many tourists simply sit down at tables that haven't been cleared yet – a real no-go. This urgently needs to change and new guests should be intercepted at the entrance and then assigned tables! The pizza we had was okay, but not a highlight. The Spaghetti Buon Gustaia was listed on the menu with a sauce made of ground beef and wild mushrooms. I couldn't detect any trace of ground beef, and the sauce was overall quite "sloppy." I don't want to do this restaurant an injustice: It simply caters to the demands of the tourist crowds on the lake promenade, and since it was always packed during our week-long stay, it certainly meets these demands.

Delicious pizza 🍕. Freshly prepared. Great location right on the waterfront.

Yes, I can recommend this place. Located in the front row, within sight of the jetty, beneath an old plane tree, it offers very fast service, is child-friendly, and simply well-equipped. They also offer lunch menus, which are served in no time. I'd be happy to go back...

We've been there several times and usually sat outside. The service was fast and friendly. The pizza and cake were good. The restaurant is located at the end of the promenade. It has a beautiful view of the lake. We always enjoy sitting there when we're in Überlingen.

Terrible!! There's nothing Italian about it!!! A terrifying minestrone soup!! Two inedible grilled chicken breasts!! Three beers, an espresso... Bill 66.10 cents... Shameful!!!

This was our second visit to this pizzeria and restaurant. The location is beautiful, with a magnificent view of Lake Constance. This time I ordered a tuna pizza to go; last year we ate in (a salad with grilled chicken). The pizza was delicious (the salad was also delicious that time), and the service was very friendly. We'd be happy to come back.

We ordered ice cream, and the service was super friendly. The ice cream tasted amazing. Unfortunately, my cup was completely dusty, even with a dead fly in it, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Super delicious pizzas and pasta dishes. We come to this pizzeria every time we visit Lake Constance. The waiters are friendly and attentive. The location right on Lake Constance is truly fantastic!

The pizza there is delicious, and the pasta is full of cream and fat. Unfortunately, the service was unfriendly, rushed, and cleared half the table in the middle of our meal. A side dish didn't arrive for one dish, and when we asked, they refused to bring us what was on the menu. We found that very rude!

The waiters were very attentive. The food arrived quickly, was plentiful, and tasty. The views of the Bodensee were wonderful, perfect for enjoying a good meal and a good espresso.

Very tasty pizza, pasta and salads

We ate at La Vita and, unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. The food arrived much too late, and the drinks we ordered weren't even brought. When we asked about it, there was no apology – instead, we were rudely and dismissively told that this wasn't right. The service overall seemed disrespectful and not customer-focused. Even the first bread/side dish wasn't particularly good. One thing is for sure: We won't be visiting La Vita again.

Great spaghetti, cooked to perfection✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼very attentive and friendly staff and the place itself is beautiful anyway 🤩🤩🤩

Pizza is delicious and inexpensive. The staff is usually unfriendly, and for questions like "where and how can we catch a bus?" the answer is "just take a taxi!" Even for questions about the menu, the answer is "google it, please." No goodbyes or farewells. Only the boy from Greece is great and friendly.

We dined on the restaurant's terrace last weekend. Our order consisted of an appetizer (vitello tonnato) and two pizzas as the main course. After a wait of about 20 minutes, both the appetizer and the pizzas were served at the same time – a process that we consider unacceptable. Our warning to the service staff was met with a shrug – unfortunately, unprofessional. During our stay, the waiters also began a loud reassignment of tables on the terrace – presumably due to a shift change. These internal arrangements were audible to all guests and could have been done much more discreetly – for example, indoors. Regarding the quality of the food: – The "Four Cheeses" pizza tasted okay. – The "Marinara" pizza, however, was overseasoned and extremely garlicky – we had to return about half of it because it was barely edible. The vitello tonnato tasted good, but the portions were significantly too small for the price of just under €18 (six small slices of meat) and the amount of tuna cream was excessive. It's also worth mentioning that the menu is largely similar to that of the "Riva" restaurant in Sipplingen – a restaurant that, however, is in a different league in terms of quality. In our opinion, "La Vita" is more upper-middle class – nothing more, nothing less.

I can recommend this pizzeria because the vegetarian pizza is very well stocked and also very tasty. 2 stars were deducted for the unannounced surcharge of €4.50 per pizza for the gluten-free version. If we had known this beforehand, we would have ordered just one gluten-free pizza instead of two. This resulted in an additional €9, which was very annoying. It wasn't even stated on the menu. We paid for it, but that's not right. You should inform the customer beforehand, or it should at least be shown on the menu or somewhere how much it costs more. He didn't mention it at all when ordering, so we assumed it was the same price. If it had been €3 or €4 more, we wouldn't have said anything, but €9 more is a lot. That's why we're only giving it 3 stars instead of 5.

The best pizza, the other dishes are also delicious, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Any pizza at a kebab shop tastes better... Plus, the wait time is long. Won't be back!

A successful start to the vacation. Thank you to everyone...

La Vita scores with a beautiful ambiance that invites you to linger – stylish and cozy. Unfortunately, the food can't keep up: The pasta with chicken was heavily drenched in oil, the noodles too firm to the bite and thus barely edible. The pizza bread was also disappointing: The tomato sauce tasted artificial, almost like paint. Considering the quality, the prices are significantly too high. It's a shame, because the atmosphere deserves more.

Delicious pizza also gluten-free from fresh dough

We ate there twice while on vacation...both times we were very satisfied. We'd be happy to go again.

The food was truly delicious, and the portions were generous. We had a pizza and a large salad—both very good. We also loved the option to order a gluten-free pizza. The staff assured us that it would be prepared separately and would be safe. Unfortunately, my partner still couldn't tolerate the gluten-free pizza, which suggests gluten contamination. This is disappointing, especially since we had specifically asked for it. Anyone with gluten sensitivity should be careful here!

We stopped here for lunch quite by chance. Also here (probably because of the Paulaner Meal :-) ) Friendly, fast, and cheerful staff. Always quick to offer an Italian saying (be careful, there are supposed to be people who understand it :-) ) The pizza was just the way I like it, well-topped and thin crust, and here too, a great view of the lake. But when it comes to pizza with seafood, etc.... lots of flies. We came here again for lunch after a trip, and of course, large portions with a salad... who could eat all that :-) Thanks again for two great views and great food. Million thanks to everyone

The food is okay, but the service could be a bit better. They weren't unfriendly, but he kept looking past us at the water when we grounded with him, and we went there twice... The restrooms reminded me a lot of Italy 10 years ago...

We had lunch. The pizza was good, but the cannelloni unfortunately hadn't been in the oven long enough and were hard on top. The chicken with rice and mushroom sauce was way too salty. For this reason, the food can't be rated highly.

NOT recommended for families: There were 8 of us -> 4 children and 4 adults. We were first seated at a table in another room, which wasn't a problem at first. Then the waiter came over and told us to hurry up and choose our drinks and food because it was busy. Then we started a lecture about what we were NOT allowed to do: 1. Do not push chairs under any circumstances, as it disturbs the guests (it's not like we're guests too). 2. The children are only allowed to talk quietly, as guests can hear them. 3. Do not get up and walk around the restaurant. The waiter was so rude, it was unbelievable. The food was also absolutely not recommended. When we were finished and left the restaurant, my daughter (3 years old) ran ahead and waited for me at the door. The waiter was on his tablet and almost tripped over her. As we left, we rolled our eyes and took a deep breath. Definitely NEVER again! Very very unfriendly and as a family you don't feel welcome even though there are special dishes for children.

Not recommended for celiacs - the staff doesn't know what they're doing! We went to La Vita and ordered a cappuccino, an iced coffee, and apple strudel with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. My daughter has celiac disease and has to follow a strict gluten-free diet; dietary errors have serious consequences! They advertise gluten-free pizza, so we thought they knew what they were talking about. Everything is clearly labeled on the menu, which is great. But our server didn't know anything. According to the menu, the iced coffee is gluten-free, but it came with a biscuit (= gluten-containing) on ​​top. This contaminated the dish so badly that my daughter isn't allowed to eat it. We immediately pointed this out, and the waiter removed the biscuit from the cream, but that wasn't enough. We said so, and the waiter grumbled and took the iced coffee and brought a new one. Friendly is different! The vanilla ice cream had a very bland flavor and contained several large pieces of ice (frozen water) – in short, it didn't taste good. The cappuccino was okay, but very small for €4.40. The apple strudel was also okay, but nothing special. It's a real shame, as the seating here is very pleasant. Maybe the other food is good, and if you don't have celiac disease, the above description doesn't matter.

Super friendly service! Delicious food! Great value for money... Right on the promenade with a view of Lake Constance, what more could you want! We were so impressed that we went back for dinner the next day 👍🏻

Very friendly staff. Everything great.

We didn't have high expectations, but we were absolutely thrilled! The seafood appetizer platter was absolutely fantastic, and the huge, delicious pizza rounded off the meal. A wonderful day at the lake with very friendly service! Highly recommended!

It was very tasty. The service was great too :)

Unfortunately, my wife and I weren't happy with our pizza frutti di mare, and my wife's pizza Napoli wasn't worth the money. Offer improvement Outlook fantastic

The apple strudel and strawberry ice cream sundaes were delicious. A nice terrace right on the beach promenade with a view of Lake Constance.

The worst pizza I've ever had. The crust was very dry. The toppings had no flavor and were mostly fake cheese. I had a Regina with barely any ham, and a mushroom with a lot of cheese.

Spectacular lake view for a coffee and breakfast, very pleasant and attentive staff. I would definitely come back again.

A lovely spot by the lake to enjoy a coffee. They have a 'Cappuccino Max' (large cup) version that should be a standard in more places (we want more coffee!). The kuchen was delicious as well. The service was very good, and the staff who attended us were very friendly. Highly recommended!

This was my first time here and I was pleasantly surprised. The Margherita pizza was delicious—crispy crust, fresh ingredients, and seasoned just right. I also had an iced tea that tasted really good and was very refreshing. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed. I'd definitely come back.

The food was delicious, the staff very polite, and the chef was also very humorous and funny. All in all, I highly recommend it.

The food was okay. The terrace is a lovely place to sit with a view of Lake Constance.

For Mother's Day dinner with you so much went wrong!!! we waited inside for the table outside of our choice and already ordered 2 Aperol, which were NOT brought to us because the table was not the waiter's area! We got the table outside and then had to order the Aperol a second time. We order 2x grilled chicken breasts 2x small salad. The waitress hadn't really listened, let alone asked 1 main meal ordered and delivered. My food was cold when I asked if she had forgotten the 2nd meal - it didn't come until much later because she had only ordered 1 meal instead of 2. !! There was no excuse for it.!! She acted like she was checking to see if it was ready, but it didn't come until 20 minutes later!! The vegetable side dish was extremely burnt And instead of rosemary there were potatoes, as in the menu - 4 quarters of roasted potato slices mixed in with the sun-roasted vegetables. The service apologized for my complaint with a free espresso, But it didn't provide any perfect vegetables. Then the waitress came with our further order of 1 glass of Chianti and 1 glass of Chardonnay. The tray wobbled and both glasses tipped down, the contents spilled all over the table and us!! The other waiter just said it was because the table was wobbly - but I told him the glasses had already fallen!! I left over €100 there and the previously spilled wine on our clothes was still charged FULL!! Impudence!!!!

I ate at this restaurant on a hot day at 29 degrees. Unfortunately the service was disappointing. When I asked for ice cubes for my water, I was told there were no more. To my surprise, however, guests who ordered alcoholic drinks after me received plenty of ice cream. When I asked politely again, the waiter refused my request - it seemed arbitrary and not customer-oriented. The taste of the food was okay, but nothing special. Overall, I am left with a negative overall impression, especially because of the unprofessional treatment of guests for a simple request like ice cream in this heat.

Very friendly and courteous service despite the large number of guests.

Very tasty burgers, very friendly staff! Great!👌

Well, what can I say… La Vita? More like la sadness. The pizza was an absolute joke — and not even a funny one! The dough tasted like someone had taken an old moving box out of the basement, thrown a little cheese on it and said, “Buon Appetito!” Cardboard. Dry. Tasteless. Even yesterday's frozen pizza would have seemed like a gourmet's dream. And then the “spicy” salami… I really had to check to see if they had forgotten to add the spiciness or if they had accidentally ordered “homeopathically spicy”. Spoiler: it was milder than a chamomile tea after midnight. Absolute failure. The staff? Yeah... let's put it this way: If disinterest were Olympic, the team would definitely have the gold medal. No smile, no feeling of service - almost as if the guests were the annoying nuisance in their working day. I almost apologized for even being there. The ambience? Just like the food: loveless, cold and just plain wrong. Everything together didn't fit at all. Never again. When I feel like using cardboard again, I cut off a piece of cardboard — it's cheaper and probably even more flavorful.

The food wasn't bad but it wasn't good either and for such a high price. In addition, the portions are far too small

Unfortunately a disappointing visit. We were ignored at the entrance and not given a table - so we sat down ourselves. After about five minutes, the card was slammed onto the table without a word and without any greeting. Nothing happened for another 15 minutes - no drink, no request, no service. The service seemed completely disinterested. Finally we left without having accomplished anything. This definitely makes you feel unwelcome as a guest.

Everyone really enjoyed the food, friendly staff, fast service, nice and relaxing atmosphere, always happy!

Friendly waiters and nice view! But in culinary terms, it is the worst restaurant we have ever tasted. The Burger was bland, the steak was nothing like a steak. Defrosted fries, tasteless and tasteless! Plus, they tasted like fish.

Great food. Super nice service. The location is great and the prices are fair. Simply a great restaurant, we would love to come back.

The food was ok, meat too salty.

Here is a summary review: --- **Rating: 3 out of 5 stars** The view was excellent, but the food was disappointing. The fitness plate was mostly iceberg lettuce, some tomato, cucumber and corn, and the sauce was bland. Overall a mixed experience – great view but the food could do

Wow, guys, I'm telling you, the food was amazing! 🤩 With a view of the lake 🏔️ it tastes even better. The service was also really friendly and prompt. What more could you want? I'll definitely be back! There was pizza prosciutto and penne with salmon, the price was right. We'll be back.

Super nice and cozy restaurant with a direct view of the lake. I can highly recommend the pizza prosciutto and the penne with salmon. The staff is very friendly and despite the fact that it was busy at lunchtime, there wasn't a long wait for the food to arrive. Top price-performance ratio and top location.

Very nicely located restaurant directly on the shore of Lake Constance. The vegetarian pizza was well topped and very tasty. Very friendly staff, despite being busy

Beautiful restaurant with very friendly staff. The wait wasn't long, and the food was delicious. I definitely recommend it and would happily go back. 🙌🤌🏻

Very tasty food and served to everyone at the same time

*Location very nice with a view of the lake.. *Service friendly.. *Mixed salad: you can get it better at home (ready-made dressing, iceberg lettuce, some cucumber and tomato as well as corn). Unfortunately, we understand something different by a good Italian/mixed salad. *Pizza, ok...Didn't really blow us away. That's why we won't be coming back. *Toilet "broken", the inside of the cistern is exposed...unfortunately it doesn't make the best external impression either.

Pizza and risotto really delicious! :)

Was attacked badly, totally arrogant, never left again

Unfortunately I have to rate the service as poor. We ate there several times in 2024. The service was good, you were picked up and brought to your table. Now the service staff no longer seems to follow this path and wild sieging of tables is now the rule there! When you ask for a table or whether the custom has changed, you get a very unfriendly or annoyed response from the service staff. I say thank you for 2024, we won't be coming here again.

The two of us had dinner there with our dog. As a starter we had bruscetta, which was tasty but nothing special. The main course was calzone and a chicken burger, both of which were delicious. For dessert we had tiramisu. This was the only thing that was really freshly prepared and not purchased. However, if you have a good time, you can quickly reach €80 for two people. The restaurant was hardly attended by us, which is why we had our food very quickly. However, it did make you feel like you were being watched the whole time until you were finished so that the waiters had something to do. The waiters themselves were very friendly. I find value for money a bit expensive, but in comparison to equivalent restaurants it's within reasonable limits.

A cozy restaurant with Italian cuisine right on the lake. Lots of space, fast service and delicious pizza with a crispy base. Service could be a bit friendlier or more dynamic. Seems like it's a boring job. Toilet on the 1st floor.

Terrace offers a romantic atmosphere and indoors can organize wonderful events. With a distinct and perfect Italian climate, the restaurant is a highlight!

We wanted to have dinner here and chose this place based on its high ratings. However, to our surprise, we noticed that it was closed and apparently under construction. We find this to be irresponsible service. While we assume the food might be good, we cannot comment on that. Nevertheless, the mismanagement is unacceptable for a place with such high ratings.

Service terribly bad. Penetrating, annoying, you feel unwanted. Food ok, but nothing special

Was closed on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.

Delicious food and patient service.

Right on the lake. Staff friendly and prompt. You don't have to wait hours for food and the subsequent bill. Prices are reasonable to good. Just great. They'll definitely see me again soon.

Was in Überlingen with my girlfriend today. We had lunch at La Vita. It's very nice in there. The food is very tasty. I would be very happy to recommend it.

Great, very tasty pizza and wonderful location right on the lake. We had a really nice welcome, the service was great and we will definitely eat there again. Price-performance ratio also fits. :)

Delicious food, beautiful view of Lake Constance and nice, attentive waiters👍 we'll be back next year.

There's nothing to complain about. Delicious food. Facility top. Everything was fine even though it was full

Great location, great service and wonderful food. What more could you want?

Very nice, we were very satisfied, I can only recommend it

Great restaurant on the promenade with friendly and efficient staff. Food was tasty at a reasonable price. I was inspired to take the photo by this wonderful door

Delicious food at a fair price - gladly again

Great location of the restaurant. Unfortunately, the staff (not all!) were very inattentive and the iced coffee was much too sweet.

Very friendly service and tasty food in a nice atmosphere

It was the best restaurant we've ever been to. Great and very friendly service. The delicious food came super quickly. And the view of the lake is unbeatable. We'll definitely be back!

Very tasty food, very nice staff and a great view of the lake

Very friendly staff and very nice to children. The food was very good and came quite quickly even though it was busy. So all in all very good and would be happy again.

Great location, had the burger. Price performance absolutely ok again at any time

Great location, lots of shade outside, it's very comfortable to sit and has a great view. The food was extremely tasty, both the pasta and the fish in lemon sauce. Price/performance ratio is very good. The service is a bit inattentive, but overall this place is definitely worth a visit and we'll definitely be back.

Service is unfriendly. Only puts dishes and drinks on the table in a mushy manner. Spaghetti didn't taste like anything and was just oily. But the pizzas were quite good.

Were here for a birthday. From the great service to the very quick service to the great food, we were completely satisfied. Absolute recommendation!

We ate there every evening during our vacation. Both the pizza and the pasta are incredibly delicious. The tiramisu is particularly recommended. The staff is super nice and humorous, and of course the location is hard to beat. We were very excited

Top Italian cuisine, friendly staff, great ambience.

The food was very good. The service was friendly and forthcoming. Gladly again at any time👍

This restaurant is very good and has a beautiful view. The servers are friendly but the meals are expensive. There are Italian restaurants next to them that are cheaper and better. For example, I had two Nutella pancakes, two coffees and an apple juice for 30 euros.

Dear La Vita team... We've eaten at your place several times over the last few years and it's always been very good. We also come from the catering industry and are experts. Today the four of us + child ate at your place and unfortunately it was a 5 minus. We had 2x risotto with chanterelles & 2x salmon with chanterelles & grilled vegetables and roasted potatoes. What the kitchen delivered today was really bad. The risotto only tasted like vegetable stock powder and nothing else. Even though it is such a SIMPLE food. When clearing away the service employee didn't ask if it was tasty even though both plates were almost full :-( The chanterelles (in tomato sauce?!) with the salmon weren't much better either. Sorry. Just read a cookbook or leave it alone. I'm very sorry for the honest review. The starter was the classic Antipasti Italiano. Perfect as always. Gastronomic greetings

Very good food* and nice staff, I can't say anything else!

Were ignored for 30 minutes, despite the waiter speaking to them several times. So unfortunately we can't judge the food. We went one pizzeria further

There were three of us there for dinner. Unfortunately we weren't served, even though 3 waiters passed us regularly. After being spoken to politely twice and waiting for about 30 minutes, we moved on to another restaurant because we had the impression that we were being ignored (it wasn't too busy anymore as it was already later after dinner time.)

Fast, friendly reception, advice, operation and service.
