L'Osteria in Darmstadt

We always enjoy coming here. It's definitely worth it. The value for money is excellent. And the service leaves nothing to be desired. Many thanks to Theresa.

Good food, pleasant atmosphere and Theresa served us very friendly throughout the evening.

Theresa is a very attentive waitress

Nice staff, good ambience, delicious food, highly recommended

The food was delicious, the drinks were good, and the people were really nice! ☀️☀️☀️

Great shop! Always worth a visit :)

It was great! Everything was delicious, great service! Very friendly staff, even vegan dessert upon request. I'd come back again and again 😍

It was very loud in the shop. The spaghetti ice cream was disappointing for the price.

Very tasty and very friendly staff

We ate at L'Osteria in Darmstadt yesterday, and unfortunately, our visit was very disappointing. Right from the start, we had to wait an unusually long time before we could even order – our waiter spent over 15 minutes chatting with another family while we sat at the table, trying to get his attention. The biggest shock, however, came at the end of the evening: We saw several mice crawling around on the floor. This was completely unacceptable to us and a clear sign that hygiene was not good. The restrooms were reasonably clean, but when we looked into the kitchen from the window after dinner, we noticed that there was quite a lot of trash on the floor – not a pretty sight. On the positive side, we would like to mention that the food itself was very tasty and fresh. However, the negative impressions clearly outweigh the positive. A restaurant should, first and foremost, be clean and hygienic – and unfortunately, that was not the case here. We sincerely hope that management takes this feedback seriously and quickly corrects the deficiencies.

The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The service was very attentive.

The food and service were delicious. Maleen served us brilliantly!

So the food was delicious but the condition was mega unfriendly I also think that she was the waitress that day (14.10.2025 16.15)

Super delicious giant pizza! Fast service, kid-friendly, and open to any special requests.

A large restaurant close to the city center and the Darmstadt State Theater. Excellent pizzas with oversized diameters. You'd hardly be able to finish it all alone.

Tastes great! I highly recommend it!

Everything was super delicious and the staff was very friendly.

Very tasty, my favorite: Gniocchi Gamberetti!!! 😋

Huge and, above all, super-delicious pizzas in a great setting and very centrally located in Darmstadt. Our server, Theresa, was super sweet and very accommodating and gave us a wonderful evening. Highly recommended!

Pizzas are generously topped and taste very good 👍

I was at L'Osteria today and had a pizza – as always, delicious and fresh from the oven! 🍕 I'd especially like to give a shout-out to Theresa🍷, who served me. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always had a smile on her face, despite the packed place. You could really tell she puts her heart into her job! :)

Lovely evening, very friendly service (Theresa)

The waitress, Theresa, was incredibly friendly and always present. My pizza was very good and arrived surprisingly quickly. It was still fresh from the oven. The toppings were very fresh.

Very friendly service. Food was ready quickly and very tasty.

Teresa was very nice and did everything to make us feel comfortable

Delicious pizza, friendly service, nice place

The food was great. The waiter (Theresa) was very friendly. Everything was clean and delicious.

Very tasty food and very friendly service

I've been to L'Osteria Darmstadt several times and always enjoy coming back because the price/performance ratio is right, the food is delicious, and the service is very friendly.

Teresa served us very well. We were very satisfied.

Very friendly and attentive service. The noodles are great!

Great restaurant with delicious food and friendly service. Theresa took so much time for us! I'll be back again and again.

Good food, good service, nice ambience

We went to L'Osteria in Darmstadt after university. Theresa (and the food) made a wonderful end to a busy day. Thank you!!!

great service from Theresa 😍 good food👍🏼

The pizza is very big and tasty.

The food was delicious, and the service was very friendly and attentive. We were given extra napkins and cutlery so our 1-year-old son could drop something.

Great service! Thank you Theresa!! Delicious food

Great service and delicious food! Theresa was excellent 🙏

Very friendly and attentive staff. The food is delicious and served quickly.

Very friendly staff Very tasty food And it was served quickly

I'm a regular and love the entire concept here and of the chain. Great value, atmosphere, service, food… everything is perfect.

I ate here at lunchtime. The pizza was really delicious and very large. It was a bit too loud for me.

I always come for the lunch special. Always prepared quickly and very tasty. Never disappoints.

Yes, unfortunately, as is so often the case, it all depends on the individual. I've been here quite a few times now. There are 2-3 ladies in the service, and they're TOP! Attentive, fast, friendly,... Let's leave the rest as it is. Sometimes you sit there for 30 minutes without a drink, in a restaurant that's really not full. (Like today, but unfortunately the ladies mentioned weren't there.) No one looks at you; they just stare past the person, just don't look at them. Unfortunately, the service staff are out of control. They don't even notice it themselves, or, what you get is, they don't care. I've been here a few times in the last 5 weeks. As I said, there are a few really great exceptions, but generally, you have to put up with the unfriendliness in this place. If you can live with that, then everything's fine.

It was my birthday and I was surprised that the house had a surprise (free dessert). I'm especially grateful for the super friendly service. It was a wonderful evening. Thank you!

We were there with a group of 10 people. The service was initially great until the place filled up and the waitresses became very busy. The children got their food early (excellent and tasty too!). Our food arrived later and was unfortunately not of the highest quality. Two of the four pizzas were black in places (we had to cut them off). The pasta with crayfish tails didn't contain crayfish tails; it was shrimp, which didn't taste good. A glance at the menu didn't reveal any changes. Unfortunately, no one asked if everything was okay; otherwise, we would have complained. We were only able to raise the issue when paying, which was a shame. The server apologized but didn't follow up or provide any further information. Overall, both quality and quantity have declined.

We visited on October 3rd with six people plus our Labrador. Delicious food and first-class service in a pleasant atmosphere. Music played at a pleasant volume. Only the background noise when it's busy is a bit annoying. We'd love to come back. PS: The dog was the first to be served water. THANK YOU

The price/performance ratio is definitely right here. We felt very comfortable, the food came super quickly, and it was delicious.

Very good service. Delicious food. Unfortunately, it was too crowded and therefore noisy.

Very good, very tasty, good service

Food is nice, the pizzas are huge and enough for two. Service was not attentive and brought the main courses already while we still had half of our appetizers in front of us. The atmosphere is super noisy, background music, kitchen noise and collective chatter in an industrial styled hall make it almost impossible to have a conversation when sitting opposite each other. Prices are relatively high, but you can take the leftovers with you without extra charge. Would come here for food again, but not for a get-together.

Delicious food, good service, large portions, and a pleasant atmosphere. We'll be happy to come back.

We waited over an hour for our food (one pizza, one pasta); it wasn't particularly busy. We politely asked several times when our food would be coming. Our waitress was friendly, but then a colleague joined us who was absolutely rude. We left without eating. On the upside, our drinks and appetizer were on the house. P.S.: If you need to use the restroom, you should definitely bring a flashlight.

Very friendly service and delicious food. The pizzas are absolutely huge :)

Great pizza, fantastic staff, and great atmosphere. I always enjoy coming here.

Very tasty and the pizzas are huge.

Very pleasant atmosphere, great service, and delicious food. Highly recommended 😊

The staff was super friendly and attentive. Our order arrived in no time and was truly delicious. Specials like the lunch menu are highly recommended.

Very tasty pizza, friendly service🤗 I like coming here.

very good service and delicious food :)

Even though the food was delicious, we found the service disastrous. After waiting 10 minutes for a table (the place was empty), we were not only greeted with an extremely unfriendly welcome, but also had to wait 20 minutes to pay, even though the place was almost empty. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing on this day.

It's a shame the restaurant is so run down, unfortunately from a hygiene point of view.

Unfortunately a bit loud! Poor acoustics

We were there on a Saturday at 4:00 p.m. The food was delicious; we had pizza and pasta. I have to deduct half a star for the service. We had a reservation, but it seemed like the reservation wasn't in the system. The two bottles of water that were included in the reservation weren't on the table. Generally, we felt that a reservation wasn't necessary at this time of day. The ambiance is nice, but the individual chairs could be more comfortable.

Pasta portion was a bit small in contrast to the pizzas.

Huge and delicious pizza...better than many Italian pizzerias. High price. ...but we're in Germany!

The pizza thinks outside the box more than any AfD voter.

Really very big pizzas and very tasty ... were here for the first time today and will definitely come back 100 out of 100%

Pizza with a guaranteed mouse: We were at L'Osteria in Darmstadt at 9 p.m. Unfortunately, we were completely ignored for 20 minutes, so we had to get the menus ourselves from inside. Only then did a waiter come and tell us we were no longer allowed to eat outside and would have to go inside. Inside, the place looked very dirty: tables hadn't been cleared or cleaned, used cutlery was lying on the floor, and food scraps hadn't been removed. Despite at least eight employees, including the manager, no one seemed to be making an effort to maintain cleanliness. The pizza itself tasted good, but it was placed directly on the dirty table without a mat. Later, while we were waiting for the bill, a mouse walked right between our feet. After we reported it, the waiter simply offered to put the drinks on the house – we'd have to speak to the manager about anything else. The manager's reaction was completely inappropriate: Despite seeing the mouse several times, he declared it a "city problem" and not his responsibility, and that he knew about the mice. He showed no understanding for the obvious hygiene deficiencies. The discussion ended loudly with the words: "Just leave and never come back." Conclusion: We received no apology or understanding. Given such hygiene conditions and lack of hospitality, another visit is out of the question for us.

Unfortunately, we had a very negative experience during our visit to L'Osteria in Darmstadt. Inside (near the kitchen), we repeatedly observed mice crawling under benches, chairs, and tables. They were searching for food scraps on the floor and also eating them. It was clearly visible that there were numerous food scraps on the floor, which exacerbated the problem. After speaking to the waiter or manager, we were simply told that mice were "common" and that it wasn't a problem if they were running around the restaurant. This is absolutely unacceptable to us, as hygiene and cleanliness should be a top priority in a restaurant. Furthermore, the service was very disappointing overall. We had to wait over 30 minutes before we even received a menu. The pizza we ordered didn't match the description on the menu: ingredients were missing, and we also had to wait a long time for the food to finally be served. Overall, the visit was unacceptable both in terms of hygiene and service. We therefore cannot recommend the restaurant at all.

Delicious food, friendly service, and everything served quickly at your table. Plus, oversized pizzas and an open kitchen where you can watch the food being prepared.

We sat outside, so I have no idea about the decor. It was delicious, as always. The garlic and chili oil were amazing. It's a shame there's no such place in Fulda.

Quite expensive, but the taste is still decent. The pizza has more dough than anything else. But at least this way, you can increase the margin on large pizzas. What's completely unacceptable are the tip suggestions for card payments. They start(!) at 10 percent. If you don't want to give any or less, you have to awkwardly type on the terminal. For me, that's the reason I won't go there again. For €16 pizzas, I'd assume the staff is paid well enough.

The service was excellent. The food was good. A bit loud, but it was also very busy.

Basically everything was fine, but unfortunately, the management was complete. Bright sunshine, Sunday, 3:30 p.m.: Pizza dough not ready until 5 p.m., which is half the menu. All tables outside are open, but no service is being provided due to a lack of staff.

I had the aglio e olio there, a simple but very tasty dish, but these were inedible for my taste. They seemed to have never seen salt or garlic before, but they were extremely spicy; for me, they were simply inedible. Texturally, they were just plain cooked pasta with a few drops of oil sprinkled over it. Unfortunately, I also have some complaints about the service, as we had to wait an hour and 30 minutes for our rather disappointing meal. The ambiance was nothing special, just a bit below average.

The pizzas are huge and taste very good. The red wine is primitive and so-so. The ambiance is also good, and the service is friendly.

A very nice restaurant in the heart of Darmstadt. The atmosphere is both lively and cozy. The pizza was huge, crispy, and delicious, and the pasta was also fresh and flavorful. The staff was friendly and attentive, despite the large number of guests. A great place for a relaxed meal with friends or family...I'd love to come back!

Very spacious, the pizza 'Degli Artisti' tastes very good, the format is giiiiiig and only for the big appetite 😄

Bye, The two of us were there for lunch today and once again we really enjoyed it. The food took less than 15 minutes, although that could have been due to our unusual timing. A young lady served us very friendly. Great service and good food deserve 5 stars 🤌👍

The waitress was totally unfriendly and inattentive. I ordered a pizza for two people, but it was almost cold and took 50 minutes to arrive (it was 1 p.m. and the place was completely empty).

Great food, the staff is very friendly and professional. We always eat pizza at Losteria no matter what city in Germany we are in. I love the dough of their pizzas. Thin and crispy.

Solid pizza you can't complain, always stable quality, good to sit and chat

Pizzas are ok, I don't recommend the pastas

Well, the food is so-so, the wine is rather poor, and it's very loud. The service was nice, but it's hard to understand why it's so crowded.

In a somewhat difficult environment

Two of us went for pizza. The atmosphere was pleasant and the service friendly. The pizza tasted okay, though a bit dry. We really enjoyed the salad. What bothered us, however, was that our food was brought not by the waitress, but by kitchen staff – unfortunately, in noticeably dirty work clothes (sauce stains, etc.). This seemed unhygienic and seriously tarnished the otherwise positive impression.

Great service It's just too loud. And the music doesn't make it any better.

The food was very good, unfortunately the salami pizza was just a bit too salty and the bruschetta was just the opposite, the service was very good and the portion you get for the price is more than good, you can't complain about the size

I've always enjoyed visiting L'Osteria because I like the food, especially the pizza, and the atmosphere. My last visit was all the more disappointing. When I didn't leave a tip when paying, the waiter, a young man, didn't even say goodbye to me but simply ignored me. For me, tipping is a voluntary gesture of appreciation and not an expectation. Respectful service should therefore not be dependent on it. After this experience, I'm unsure whether I would eat here again in the future, as tipping shouldn't be a prerequisite for polite/respectful behavior.

I could eat their Mozzarella pizza any day of the week. It’s very good food—arguably some of the best I’ve ever had. The flavors are perfectly balanced, the crust has just the right texture, and the cheese melts beautifully. I even think a waiter might have been hitting on me once, but that aside, the experience was excellent. The service is attentive without being overbearing, and the staff clearly know what they’re doing. I could only recommend this place. Also, don’t miss their homemade iced tea—it pairs incredibly well with the pizza and adds a refreshing touch to the meal. Overall, this restaurant is a rare gem worth visiting multiple times.

The two of us went there yesterday for dinner, and the atmosphere was relatively cozy. We were seated quickly, but then no one came for 15 minutes. The "Ipanema" was simply a ginger ale with three lime wedges, far from a "non-alcoholic cocktail." And then they charged €7 for that... The pizza dough was comparable to a frozen pizza, crispy but lacking in flavor. For €18 for a marinara, you expect a bit more than just a minimal amount of frozen seafood. I definitely didn't imagine a pleasant evening at Losteria would be like this.

We waited a long time for the waiter and a long time for the food, what a shame and apparently nobody cares!

It was too hot inside during the summer days

I received an email saying I was supposed to be credited with points or get an espresso. Unfortunately, the staff didn't know, and I wasn't given any points. The restaurant could use a cleaning, as there are cobwebs everywhere.

Reservations required on Friday and Saturday evenings.

The service at this restaurant is exemplary, but the pizza I ordered was incredibly large and served cold. It's a mystery why this restaurant chain is so popular. 🙏🇯🇵

There were multiple MICE in the restaurant

As always, delicious pizzas. Service was excellent, as always. Unfortunately, we were unlucky that both of our pizzas were served quite cold 😞. When I informed the waiter, they just responded with a "hmm." I would have expected more accommodating service.
