L'Osteria Göttingen in Göttingen

I reserved a table for ten people about four weeks ago. On the evening of the meal we were there with nine people and got a table that was too small even for nine people. When we asked if we could change the size of the table or the space so that everyone could eat properly, the answer was a short "no" and no interest in making our stay a little more pleasant. So we have to eat very limitedly, which made the visit rather unpleasant. Unfortunately, due to a strict schedule, we didn't have the option to change the restaurant, but we will go there more. Addendum from the answer: Unfortunately, this information is missing from customers in advance. The restaurant in Göttingen is bright, flooded with light, which I personally like, but there's nothing cozy about it. The two large tables are also directly in front of the part where the food is prepared and there is constant traffic there. Not only can you not guess what the goal was, the atmosphere doesn't match what you imagine it to be, and still a table for 10 where 9 people can only sit awkwardly is simply not something for me. It is my subjective opinion and please understand it as constructive criticism, since, from my point of view, your idea has nothing to do with the local location.

They close the shop in your face at 9 p.m. sharp and stop serving you. A terribly arrogant, unfriendly shop. How can you be so unfriendly? Worst service.

An excellent place for a family trip. Wonderful service and simply delicious food. I recommend it. 💖

The evening was very nice, the food also tasted good. Service was top. The noise in the restaurant alone was very unpleasant.

The food was very good and the service was very friendly. Always happy.

The food (pizza and salad) was very good! However, service was hardly available and what was particularly annoying was the smell of food throughout the store. It smelled brutally of burnt pizza and so did the clothes and hair. I didn't find the atmosphere in general very comfortable. Very bright and the music loud.

Dear L'Osteria team, This was our first time with you and we would love to come back. The food was delicious and the service staff were very nice. Unfortunately the music was very loud but we could have said that. All in all, a clear recommendation.

It was very good, I ordered pizza with 2 different halves. And the salad was also good and plentiful

We were there with four people on a Saturday evening without a reservation. A very friendly employee even found a table in the otherwise very full restaurant. And even though it was so crowded and loud, we felt very comfortable there! It didn't take long and our pizza was ready. You can also share a pizza with two different toppings, the pizzas are huge and really delicious!! Good, but not too full, fresh ingredients, perfect! For dessert we had really good panna cotta, one classic with strawberry sauce, one with espresso - super tasty! I was really positively surprised, I would never have expected such good food, a really low price & great service from a restaurant chain! We'd love to come back!

The food and service were fantastic, except the barbecue pizza was very spicy. If possible, could you please cut the pizza next time?

Pizzas taste ok, but are very dry and the toppings are skimpy.

The food was too spicy, I ordered a bbq pizza and definitely didn't drink cocktails. I ordered a negroni but it wasn't negroni!!!

My associates told me, that pizza was good here, but I ordered pasta. Carbonara tasted weird, and it was really fatty, even more than this dish should be. The portion was huge however, so you definitely won't leave hungry. One of my colleagues ordered a lasagna and it was frozen inside. I wish I had tried pizza here, but they are very large - too large for one preson. It would be amazing if you could order a smaller one.

Great service, good atmosphere, delicious fresh food at reasonable prices.

Very tasty, great pizzas and nice staff. We would love to come back 👍

It was a nice evening, the food was great again 😋 and the service was also very friendly. Keep it up, great team.

Super nice team, food very good, we always like to come back!

If you really need/want pizza, sure that's the right place. But do not expect too much .

When you want to eat a good pizza, this is the right place. The pizzas are so big that they could be enough for two people, I usually manage to eat them alone. They have good entries. The service is fast.

The pizza is amazing, and the atmosphere, too, nachteil is the service sometimes is slow.

Good food and friendly service. It is not possible to get a place there without booking

Eat like in Italy. Perfect service and original Italian food which is very tasty. Price/performance is very good!

Even if it's already 8:15 p.m., you can still bake the pizza dough properly. White and soft, unfortunately not edible.

Food was good, prices OK. However, service wasn't good - you didn't feel particularly welcome and the staff didn't seem to want to make much sales, because after the first few drinks we were never asked again if we wanted to order anything else or if everything was OK. Things have actually been much better at this restaurant in the past. If you just want to eat something briefly, it's ok (eat in, eat out), not recommended for a longer get-together.

Typical L'osteria. Stable bench, but nothing unusual for a long time. Unfortunately the lasagna was very small. The beer was pretty stale on tap.

Very attentive but not intrusive service. We would be happy to come by again.

The pizzas are delicious and good for sharing if you want dessert; a bit loud for a conversation when it's busy.

I celebrated my birthday here, we were served by a waiter who spoke several languages, he asked several times whether we were satisfied with everything, the preparation of the dishes did not take much time, the portions were large and filling, very tasty! Highly recommend!

lunchtime. We order from the lunch menu offer at a total price of €30. When we want to pay, our meal costs €41. When we asked why it now costs more than on the lunch menu, we were told that we didn't say we wanted to eat from the lunch menu. ?????????????????? It actually goes without saying and the waiter could have pointed this out/asked us. It wasn't in the fine print anywhere. Unfair rip-off in my opinion!

Chic restaurant, varied menu, everything freshly and deliciously prepared, served quickly and friendly. I had gnocchi with shrimp in a tomato cream sauce👍. The pizzas here are also a little different, huge, extremely thin, varied and richly topped.

This restaurant crossed my mind today out of nowhere (maybe not, as it’s been popping up on Spotify ads lately). I ordered lasagna, my first ever, just another first that night. Looking back, it feels like a detour from the usual rhythm, feels very unreal, but lovely.

Delicious restaurant. You can eat good pizza here. WiFi is available. Friendly service. Parking space available.

Pizza always tastes really good. Service depends on the staff. We once received the wrong pizza and were somehow not treated as expected. They first wanted to convince us to keep the pizza. In the end it was solved well and luckily nothing was thrown away and we got what we actually wanted.

J’adore ce restau italien, et surtout les pizzas qui sont ÉNORMES ! Pâte fine, bien garnies ! Très bon accueil et plats copieux, très bon rapport qualité prix, je recommande !

Nice restaurant with the usual quality of food. Very friendly and attentive service. Great gimmick again and again, the Italian language course in the toilets.

Price-performance ratio unbeatable. A huge pizza for the course is great. Also very tasty. The service was very polite and always there for us. Simply great.

A lot of mass, a decent Italian meal with typical pasta and pizza dishes... it is advisable to share the pizza

It's really really nice with you! We had a lovely evening. And the food was absolutely delicious 😋

I don't think it's reasonable to wait around 30+ minutes after ordering and paying when the store isn't even half full. The pizza was ok but way too thin. If it were a little smaller it would have fit on the plate. The fact that 6 people are seated at a 4-person table is also questionable, especially since larger tables were free. The knives are not suitable for cutting at all, only for tearing. When paying, I found it very rude that the waiter left the table after each person (we paid separately), so the process took even longer than normal. We all paid by card, so it actually only took a few seconds per person.

I had to wait over an hour to get a very sparsely topped pizza. When I looked at other people's food, I noticed that the ingredients generally tended to come from a can. In addition, the lunch menu only includes carbonated drinks, which is stupid because I can't tolerate them, so I had a lunch menu without a lunch menu.

Ambience and food are great. We also found space for 20 people (after reservation). When it comes to service, I would like people to ask you more often if you would like something more to drink.

Very, very hard-working and attentive staff, the food was delicious, would be happy again

Great food, prices are right, ambience is nice!

Such a delicious, authentic pizza is really an exception and, given its size, it is also a price-performance miracle.

First of all the food is delicious. Unfortunately, the seating is too tight, so the feeling is that the waiter at the next table ends up eating. Favored by the tables for two that are too small and can accommodate 3-4 people. In addition, round “cat tables” were placed in free space. Everything is just too tight. Due to maximizing the number of seats and the take-out service, wait times of 40 minutes for a pizza or pasta must be expected. The noise level is also a bit too loud. It's a shame, more service and the customer in the foreground would be nicer than just profit optimization. 😅 I'm looking forward to the text modules of the answer. You can talk about anything beautifully 🤔

Big pizzas, good taste. The price is absolutely right because the pizzas are bigger. Very tasty combinations. Drinks and other dishes are priced in line with L'Osteria. Some are a little more expensive than the Italian restaurant around the corner. The atmosphere is modern, with Italian chic. Unfortunately the staff is not original because it is a chain. But be on your toes and know what it's doing. Delivery is sometimes offered, and meals are also available to take away. Points were deducted for various reasons: Because the pizzas are so oily, I messed up my jacket when picking up the pizzas - that's super annoying. We had heartburn all night and couldn't sleep well because the pizzas were so heavy on our stomachs. (fatty cheese, plus oil, plus yeast dough that didn't rise long enough) This doesn't happen with Italians for the sake of trust. ;-)

We had dinner at the location mentioned above. Because the patio doors were open and it was our first time dining there, we unknowingly entered through this entry & exit area. After no one paid us any attention, we turned to a waitress. She replied to us very rudely and pointed out the sign on the counter which said; that you have to wait there. However, if you walk through another entrance and don't know this location, you won't be able to get past the counter. The rudeness of the staff extended from the allocation of the table to the payment. After a colleague wanted to take away the food she hadn't made, the eyes were rolled, this request was questioned and the head was shaken. It seems to me that the staff is completely overwhelmed with empathy and service. At 9:04 p.m. we weren't allowed to order anything anymore because the kitchen was closed. All in all, this was by far the worst service I have experienced in all of Germany recently. I know service differently, but it probably depends on the generation!

The food (pizza) is really great. A bit of a challenge due to the size of the pizzas 😉. Cappuccino was great. The ambience is also right, the open kitchen, simply well done. We had a bit of bad luck with the service. He was very inattentive that Sunday afternoon. We would have to draw attention to ourselves several times. Only when support came did things get better.

Great pizza, not cheap for that...

Pizza Italian, thin base, fine toppings, well baked and huge!! Very attentive and friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere and designed down to the last detail. Everything fits there. We'd love to come back.

I struggled hard to give only these two stars. However, unfortunately I can only go by my food and unfortunately it was very weak. I ordered spaghetti with tomato sauce and basil, where the basil was missing and I also felt that the tomato sauce was a ready-made sauce. I don't know if that was it, but they definitely could have made a lot more effort. The pizza from my neighbor's table was very tasty, so I added another star and the service was also great. As I said, I don't like getting hung up on the spaghetti, but unfortunately it's a real disappointment 🙈 🧡 The location is positive. I really liked it. Really perfect, especially for an after-work drink 🧡 The service was also good and the employees were very friendly. Please rework your spaghetti again. I would definitely be convinced again. ☺️

Tldr: Service catastrophic, crisis management non-existent It was my wife's birthday and we ordered pizza online. Pick up with 3 hungry children in the car. 32 degrees outside. We were there at the time of pickup. "The pizza hasn't been made yet, please take a seat." No explanation as to why nothing has happened yet, even though I was told this pickup date. The shop is almost empty. Several employees keep walking past me. 20 minutes later I ask again. People ask in the kitchen, but no one gets back to me. No info, no apology, nothing. When asked again: unfortunately you have to be patient, your pizza is now being made. I'm stunned. I am offered a drink. I decline and explain my situation. 10 minutes later the pizza is ready. This will be handed over to me without further comment. I'm annoyed. The shift manager tells me that the staff is new and he can't do anything about it. No attempt at reparation, nothing. I fully understand that it can be stressful and that things can go wrong. But this was ignorance on the part of everyone involved and a shocking amount of routine in dismissing dissatisfied customers. Instead of birthday joy, my wife had screaming children in the car for 30 minutes. We won't get this time back.

Very nice and good restaurant. The pizzas are bigger than the plate and they taste good too. Price-performance is absolutely top. The staff are friendly and the restaurant is also cozy. I really enjoy eating there. 👌

It's really worth eating here. It's not the first time and it won't be the last time either

Performance and price great. I haven't eaten such a delicious pizza for a long time. Any time again

The atmosphere is nice. We were happy with our pizzas but my friend did not like the pasta. It is good that they have vegetarian and vegan options. The portions are big. The place was busy and we waited considerably long for our meals. We got the vibe that they expect you to leave the minute you finish your meal. The food is a bit pricey for sure. I can understand they are busy, but one of the waiters was super rude when he said something in German and we didn’t respond very quickly as it was loud outside and we aren’t native speakers. This was the first time we experienced something like this in Göttingen.

We had a delicious pasta dish, my wife was very satisfied. I had a bruschetta. 4 slices. This can be done better. There was a lack of oil and spices. Diced tomato without anything. Just a little arugula doesn't make it any better. A pity.

Food tastes good, service could be a bit friendlier

Delicious pizza, nice service. I always enjoy going there with my children.

Today we were at L'Osteria in Göttingen on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The restaurant chain can now be found in every major city. We sat outside, the service was friendly, the food was good. Unfortunately there wasn't a lot of choice for people who wanted to avoid gluten, so I would like to see the menu adjusted. Thanks!

Food great, atmosphere great. The time until the receipt was finally there was +-20 minutes. The place was little to moderately full. Big negative point in terms of service.

Unfortunately it is located on an alley with through traffic. So relatively uncomfortable.

The food has always been very tasty and the service has been extremely friendly. In summer it is very drafty inside due to several openings and the location is not very idyllic. But the service and food are so good that I'm happy to accept the small disadvantages.

The pizza was very large and you can order two different halves.

Food was very tasty, the pizza was exceptionally large as usual for L’Osteria and the pasta was excellent

Great atmosphere, very young and dynamic, the food was very good, great👍

Utmärkt service, trevlig och uppmärksam personal, god mat, åt inte pizza men de såg fantastiska ut, lasagnen jag åt var perfekt, kan verkligen rekommenderas,

Very nice service; tried hard but not intrusive...perfect! I always enjoy eating at Lósteria, especially on market days.

Huge delicious pizza, friendly service.

Very tasty huge pizzas. Nice service with good recommendations for Sunday breakfast. Good value for money. Playful greetings and thank you very much.

Generally good and tasty! Very large pizza

The pizzas are huge, the waiters were very friendly and my lasagne was delicious and not too hot

Very good waiter, food would have tasted better hot…

My first visit to L’Osteria will definitely not be my last! The reservation, the ordering process and the waiting time were absolutely acceptable. Before the restaurant filled up with many other guests, we ordered a pizza. Since I couldn't decide between the vegetarian pizza with grilled vegetables and the four cheese pizza, I was suggested to split the pizza in half - a saving grace for the evening! The taste and quality of the pizza were excellent. I liked it so much that I ate it all. The next day the sun shone, which rounded off the wonderful evening perfectly. I will happily visit L’Osteria in other cities in Germany whenever I feel like having a fantastic pizza!

We were very satisfied. The pizza was super tasty. The service was attentive and very friendly. The young lady kindly informed us that we would be assigned to a table. We didn't know that, we just sat down. We'll know next time! P.s. the soap in the toilets is great! Gladly again!

Très bon restaurant italien, également situé en centre-ville sur Gottingen Attention sur la taille des pizzas, elles sont très très grandes je pense que l’on en a bien assez pour faire un gros Takeaway en plus, l’assiette de pâtes est également copieuse Très bon rapport qualité prix, je recommande cet endroit

Es lohnt sich, besonders am Abend, zu reservieren. Denn das L'Osteria ist meist gut gefüllt. Man muss schon recht früh, so wie ich heute, kommen um freie Platzwahl zu haben. Man kann drinnen und draußen, auf dem Marktplatz sowie in der kleinen Gasse im Schatten durch Sonnenschirme sitzen. Drinnen kann man zusehen wie die dünnen Pizzen gemacht werden und zuschauen wie die Getränke an der Bar eingegossen werden. Die Atmosphäre ist angenehm und wird durch italienische Musik untermalt. Wenn es voll ist, kann es im Innenraum durchaus laut werden. Der Sevice war freundlich und aufmerksam, wobei (je nachdem wie voll es ist) man sich schon bemerkbar machen muss. Das Essen war wie bei jedem Besuch lecker! Mit der Pizza zum Teilen kann man auch eine Hälfte bekommen - die Pizza ist recht groß und kamm auch mitgenommen werden. Ich wählte Pasta und diese war einfach lecker! Die Kartenzahlung hat problemlos funktioniert. Das WC im Untergeschoss ist sauber - auch hier läuft Musik.

An hour waiting time, simply catastrophic.

The food tasted good, but the service wasn't, they tried to cheat here. We ordered a risotto and a pizza with grilled vegetables. Shortly afterwards we were told that the risotto was out and that we should choose something new, which wasn't a bad thing at first. So we had noodles instead. But when we paid we were only told the total amount; a receipt was only given upon request after payment had been made. And then we realized that the more expensive risotto was on the bill instead of the pasta. We then had to argue to get the money back, which was overpaid. Be sure to check the invoice! The pizza was not charged for the Margherita with extra grilled vegetables, but for the Pizza Vegetaria or similar, which was also a little more expensive. Good service is something else!

The food was good. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff very friendly. We found the prices for the drinks a bit too high.

Schöner Abend! Mit 4 Freunden einen schönen Abend erlebt, Pizza, Vitello tonato, Risotto und die Salate gut und schmackhaft! Sehr netter Service, jederzeit gerne wieder auf der Terrasse ein Essen genießen! 👍

Everything fine. Delicious as always in a L'Osteria. Always my pleasure.

For the 3rd time in a row they didn't have several ingredients in this L'Osteria. No artichokes there, the Margherita pizza was not with mozzarella as described on the menu but with some kind of salty grated cheese. There wasn't basil either, at least I got arugula instead (but it was the same the last time I was there). The service was so mediocre, not particularly attentive. If it had happened once that they didn't have any pizza toppings that would have been okay, but that's the third time (last time they asked if I wanted something else instead, they didn't have broccoli instead of spinach either). In addition, the prices were very confusing (some of the old cards were mixed in with the new ones and there were even cheaper prices on the window). It's a real shame, your food used to be nice. Get a grip, L’Osteria!

Unfortunately, the prices have gone up significantly... On my last 4 visits, there were always some ingredients that were no longer there and then you had to somehow improvise but still pay the full price. Somehow I don't think it's so cool when you pay over €15 for a pizza that isn't even topped with real mozzarella but some kind of sprinkled cheese. Were there for the last time today. There are much better Italians in Göttingen (which are also cheaper). It's a shame, I used to really enjoy being here. The taste is still good, but somehow the price-performance ratio is no longer right, even if you look at the competition in Göttingen.

Very nice atmosphere, great pizza, friendly staff, and very nice music.

We ordered two pizzas via the L'Osteria homepage. Delivery time approx. 70 minutes. The driver was very friendly. Unfortunately both pizzas were completely cold. In addition, some of them were only very sparsely occupied. The prices should be different! They still tasted good.

With 5 adults and 1 stroller, we were turned away when there were more than 3 empty tables in the outdoor area and told that no chairs were ever allowed to be moved or tables were ever moved. Absolutely incomprehensible!

I got 3 pizzas today and they were absolutely delicious and highly recommended. Very nice Italian service. Simply great 👍👍

We could eat here without a reservation. Food is decently priced. We had the pizza picante and a pasta with ham and cheese. Pizza was decent but very piccante. Pasta was pretty good to be honest. Service was good.

Unfortunately not recommended for 2 people. The tables and chairs for 2 people are placed so close together and the chairs are absolutely uncomfortable. You feel like a second-class guest and if you ask politely for another table you get the answer that the waiter has to keep it free for more people and although there were enough other tables free throughout our stay, we were denied it. What kind of policy is this? It's not comfortable or anything and it's just disgusting because it's designed to squeeze maximum money out of the available space while offering nothing. So clearly not a recommendation unless you want to spend an uncomfortable evening for two. Bad store!!!!

The pizza was delicious and the staff was very polite! Even if the size of the pizza was known, the look was very unappetizing because the pizza hung about 5 cm above the plate. I can't imagine that a restaurant chain like this can't afford plates adapted to the size of their pizzas. but the worst: If I had gone to the ladies' room first (and not after dinner), we wouldn't have ordered anything. I had trouble keeping the food from coming up 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

We visited L'Osteria on a Sunday afternoon while passing through. The restaurant wasn't too crowded at that time, which was pleasant. I really enjoyed my stay: the service was very nice, the pizzas, as you would expect from L'Osteria, were very large and very tasty! I think it's really nice that you can top the half-half pizzas differently. Since we then swapped the pizzas together, we had a great variety of tastes. We found the crab topping, the BBQ topping and the fennel salami from the daily menu very tasty. We wouldn't choose the vegan chicken topping again. But that's a matter of taste. I think the language course that runs in the background of the sanitary facilities is a funny idea. 😁👍 Now we can continue our journey home full and happy 😊

We went there twice today. On our first visit we ate pizza with 4 people. Service is great, very attentive but not intrusive, very friendly and very quick. The pizzas are to die for, we've eaten many pizzas but this pizza can't be beat. The atmosphere is cozy, which we like; you can watch the pizza being shaped and baked. What we noticed is that the team is always in a good mood. Today we ordered the lasagna and the carbonara, and here again the food was just great. Portions are sufficient. We also had dessert on our first visit, which was also delicious and nicely presented. Price performance is top here, there's nothing to complain about. There is one small thing, but it's just a personal feeling - we found the music to be too loud on both visits. A very clear recommendation from us and will now be our regular Italian.

Always enjoyed eating there. After waiting 20 minutes for someone to take our order while other tables were already being served, we got up. A “we assume you want to serve us” was only followed by a “thank you”. impudence.

The best pizza in Göttingen. The dough is nice and thin and the size is great. The taste is bombastic as always. I don't understand why they "only" have 4 stars. There should be 5 there

The huge pizza is really good and tasty. It is a challenge for one person. Unfortunately, pasta dishes are relatively sparse in quantity and don't really impress me in terms of taste. The service is sometimes very good, but here too there is no consistency. The sound insulation has since been improved, but it is still quite loud inside.

Excellent pizzas and very nice place.

Am thrilled. Totally friendly service. Ate very well. We will be back.

Had an appetizer to share, 2 pizzas and 2 drinks. Food very tasty and service top. But just under 100 euros for 2 people in a pizzeria is quite an announcement.

Rarely have I had such a good pizza and carpaccio, the tiramisu was also extremely tasty, what should be particularly highlighted is the nice, friendly service from all the waiters, I highly recommend this restaurant, a little tip on the side, the rat bait boxes, which have to be in Göttingen, are here outside the location, in the side street, it's easier to stay invisible! But of course it deserves 5 stars!
