L'Osteria Hannover Lavesstraße in Hannover

Waiters top, food too except for the black edge on the bread. Bacon is the main ingredient in pasta dishes. Vegetarian and even vegan pizza are very good. It's just the volume in the room that makes you walk faster than planned, simply because you're forced to scream at each other. A little more air between the tables and sound-absorbing elements would help compensate for the lack of seats through reordering.

Nice restaurant. Pizza was ok but nothing more

Long waiting time. In this case, the food was just ok. Iced tea is delicious for that ☺️

Very friendly service, food came very quickly and was very tasty

A really nice restaurant that I didn't even know about until then. Huge pizzas that you could eat for two with different toppings. Unfortunately, I didn't know that beforehand, then we would have shared it too. The service was prompt and friendly Cleanliness gets 1 star deducted from me, the table and floor were not completely clean. The toilets were bad. They should be checked every now and then!

Consistently great food, as is the case in other locations as well, fast and friendly service, definitely worth a visit.

Top food, very good service. Is recommended

Prompt service; attentive, friendly service; Pizza and spaghetti taste great, good value for money.

The three of us ate here again this afternoon and, as always, it was excellent. It didn't take long before we had our starters. Antipasti plate and soup. Simply delicious. The main courses: pasta dishes with shrimp and turkey strips, as well as the really huge pizza were also delicious. Despite the hectic pace, the waiter asked attentively whether everything was okay. What I like best here is the casual atmosphere with high-quality food. Always happy again 👌

First of all, sorry that I don't have any pictures with me today. Food (pizza half BBQ, half vegetarian and pasta of the month) tasted delicious. The tiramisu was also delicious as always. But today I still had to deduct a star today. Reason: we waited almost 30 minutes for food, I'm not used to that. While everyone else around us had already had their food even though they ordered after us. It usually always happens quickly. And then unfortunately a large part of the pizza crust was not filled. Both are annoying. But the waiter was super nice and gave us the tiramisu on the house. Super nice and good service. We'll come again and maybe things will work out the way we're used to.

Everything was great, great, nice and fast service. I took my mom out and she was thrilled. :)

The food was delicious, but when the staff practically begs for tips when paying by card, then a limit has been crossed.

Ordered food from Wolt. The pizza was cold (delivery error) and the tortellini was delivered incorrectly despite comments. The price of the pizza was refunded through Wolt. The tortellini should be reimbursed by L'Osteria (after telephone consultation). Unfortunately, there was no response when we asked via email and the contact form. Unfortunately, food was so inedible and intolerable for me. Too bad! Unfortunately, more than one star is not possible

Staff incredibly quick in service and yet super friendly and concerned about the guest. For example, it was immediately noticed that my drink was empty when the store was full. The pizza was very tasty, I don't know anything different at L'osteria.

Food great Service great Fast delivery

We went there together as a family for dinner. We were able to choose a huge pizza with two different toppings, with the price being calculated depending on the expensive pizza. The dough was nice and thin and crispy, the topping was delicious. My wife chose an offer of pasta with burrata that she really liked. Our children each had a pasta dish with bolognese and tomato sauce. (The waitress offered us these off the menu when we asked.) With drinks we came out at 62 euros. Gladly again.

We were there at lunchtime. The place was 75% full, but only one waiter. There also seemed to be very few staff in the kitchen. We had to wait that long. Unfortunately, a strong draft could also be felt near the door. But the food was very tasty

Food was great but service was not good, very annoyed and friendly.

Nothing special. The food looks good but I didn't particularly like it. Maybe I'm spoiled when it comes to pizza.

Food not good, cold, long wait and waiter rude.

Super delicious pizza and salads. Very flexible. We got a place spontaneously and without a reservation. The employees are also very friendly.

I was at L'Osteria recently and had a pizza. It was super delicious! The dough was crispy and the ingredients were fresh. The staff was nice too. If you want a good and very, very large pizza that goes outside the box, I can recommend L'Osteria.

It just has its name, nothing else...it doesn't taste good and it's not clean either. There are better places e.g. Lucca and Grossen Hillen.

I ordered the mushroom risotto, which was very bad and didn't have much in common with risotto. In a very nice conversation with the waitress, I found out that the rice was delivered ready-made in bags and that the risotto was not freshly cooked. No wonder you can hardly eat it.

Very nice service. The food is always good! A bit cramped at some tables but the noise level was bearable.

Super delicious food, nice service and pizzas as big as wagon wheels. That's really great!

So it was my first time in this restaurant. Made a very positive impression, really nice. Food was also very good and, above all, cheap. Good price-performance ratio. 👍

The pizza was very tasty and large, but unfortunately the knives were extremely dull, so you had to press really hard to cut the pizza. I found the drink prices a bit high. (0.33 iced tea for just under 5 euros.)

Like every Lòsteria, top service Nice, easily accessible location Just very loud

Everything I've eaten there so far has been delicious, especially the pizza...great concept

Very good pizza, I can only recommend it. It's also very big. Very friendly service.

Beautiful decor, very friendly staff and great food. As we all know, pizzas are very big but taste really delicious.

The pizza is big but there are hardly any toppings. Too expensive for what it is

If you really like handmade pizza in XXL format, you definitely have to visit this restaurant! You will receive a super friendly welcome, there are so many delicious things on the menu, you can also share the huge pizzas at absolutely fair conditions:) you will be rewarded with incredibly good taste ❤️ A clear recommendation!

Contrary to many opinions I have heard so far, the visit was completely satisfactory! The service was nice and attentive and the food was delicious and sufficient! Only the portion size of the pizzas was very generous, which made cutting and eating a little difficult. Great visit!

But this review is only for yesterday. We always like to go to this location. All top, wonderful. But yesterday the cellar (I think Italian) was also a little rude when ordering. There are 4 of us, 2 of which are our mom (Asian), we order 2 aperon spritzes + 1 large water bottle for both of us + 2 pizzas + pasta. It's enough after all. But his relationship was strange. Maybe there wasn't enough for him. Finally, when paying, pay with a card as normal. He wants to force us to give tips via EC device. I don't tip at first, he repeats the process again. He thought we were tourists and didn't understand German. I say “we give cash for tips” and his attitude was totally rude after that. He says something in Italian to the kitchen staff. They laugh about it too. I like to come back again and again, but I hope something like this doesn't happen to me or us again.

Great place, fast service, prices are so good. We ordered pizza and lazagna. Perfect!

Excellent care... The perfect pasta!!! The pizza is weak... Quality of the cheese is not good... The amount of ingredients is limited and the dough is very good. It's not bad but it could be much better... A shame Reasonable prices I recommend it to repeat...

Nice Italian restaurant in Hanover right next to the main train station. Unfortunately for me the cozy atmosphere is missing... But the food was great and the service was courteous and nice.

As always, very neat. If you don't know your way around, just to be on the safe side, go to L'Osteria.

Of course, I know the chain well and you get the usual quality at the local location too. The waiter who served us was very friendly. Everything tasted good to me. There is a deduction for the high level of noise later in the evening, which disturbed us during the conversations at the table and because some of the monthly menu items were unfortunately no longer available, such as the pumpkin cream soup. I found the dessert particularly beautifully prepared.

L'Osteria makes one of the best pizzas outside of Italy. Whenever we are in a city where there is a branch, we always eat there and have never been disappointed.

We were there right when the store opened. I've always wanted to try the pizzas there and was really looking forward to trying them. The pizza BBQ (17.25€) and the wine spritzer (9.95€, 0.5 l) were very tasty. One pizza is enough for 2 people. CAUTION !!! when billing, because unfortunately more is being billed than was actually ordered. We should have paid €27.20 (see menu) and had planned to pay €30 including tip. When the waitress came with the card reader, the total was already €30.75 (approx. 13% surcharge). We were a bit confused at that moment and thought that she had simply cheated herself into adding a tip? Or that we mistakenly paid for another table? Or were other dishes added to our bill that we didn't even order? We only ordered what you can see in the picture! Unfortunately, she left immediately without offering us an invoice. We couldn't find any information on the map with a tip automatically added. We found this very cheeky and disappointing and would have liked to have tipped, but I think you have to point this out and not just be so bold and think that the guests won't notice anyway. (Especially since we are not in the USA, for example, where the waiters are poorly paid and rely on tips and therefore automatically have a service fee and a tip on the bill. In Germany it is still voluntary!) We are We left with a very bad feeling because we felt betrayed and ripped off. A return visit will not take place again (at least in this branch). A pity!!!

Amazing food, amazing staff. We had a lovely evening and will definitely come back!

You get what you pay for, but it's not very good. Good Italian wine list.

We visited L'Osteria in Hanover/Lavesstrasse. The waiter was very friendly and we got our order quickly. We were very satisfied with our pizzas. It is a special experience to dine here. The pizzas 🍕🍕 at L'Osteria are all uniformly huge, very thin and incredibly tasty. They don't fit on the plate, but that's what makes L'Osteria so special. We didn't manage to do everything at once, but we were able to take what was left with us and enjoy it again at home. We definitely got full.😊👍🏻 The performance is worth the price. Absolutely recommended.😋👍🏻

Love this restaurant! Only recommended. Food delicious and staff super friendly. I particularly like the ambience. Beautiful!

Ambiance is great, everything is great and the atmosphere is very inviting, service from employees is also excellent, they listen carefully and don't keep you waiting for long. I ordered two pizzas to take away, you can see the pizzas are large, but the toppings weren't convincing, I had the feeling that the restaurant wanted to save money with the toppings, even though two pizzas cost over thirty euros. Dough is incomparably good, but unfortunately the topping was not to our satisfaction. I hope it works better on the next visit.

It was to our satisfaction. However, you could prepare the table a little if you know you are coming for a birthday dinner. This was asked for and stated in the reservation request. But that didn't affect the evening or the meal. Service was also very accommodating. Thank you. We would love to come back.

Very, very tasty and friendly staff 😋👍

I was in Hanover for three days and came across this restaurant. The staff is super friendly and are super quick to serve food and drinks. The food such as pizza, pasta, desserts and coffee are delicious. I can only recommend it.

We were there as a group and were supposed to sit downstairs, even though we had a reservation, which wasn't possible, next to the toilets. We actually wanted to have a nice evening. After asking again, we got a table in the restaurant, service was very good, food and drink too

After a strenuous day of touring, we were looking for somewhere to sit and relax. Coincidentally, a table outside at L'Osteria just became available and we took our chance. It's right on the road, but still somewhat secluded. We sat for a while until a waiter passed by and apologized and said he would be with us shortly. The menu is clear but also has a bit of everything. We classically decided on 3 pizzas (2 divided into one). These “giant pizzas” took up the entire table and were almost impossible to make. Very tasty and also appetizingly prepared. Anything left over is packaged in a friendly manner to take away. We would come again and recommend it.

We had pizza there during the day and were very happy with everything. The pizza was good, the service was friendly and attentive and we also liked the loft atmosphere. We would eat pizza here again.

I was in Hanover for the AC/DC concert and ate here. The service was quite busy, but still attentive and friendly. Upon request, there was even beot with the salad. The salad was delicious, I love the dressing. The spaghetti Bolognese tasted good, but the sauce was sparingly portioned - in Hamburg you can get a ladle more. The espresso was delicious and served hot - thanks to the service. Ambience is ok, a bit busy. It was nice that the front was open in the warm weather.

I ordered the Funghi Risotto, unfortunately the risotto wasn't cooked through. But the service was nice and quick.

I am an absolute L'Osteria fan! I've already been through a few stores and they've all been delicious! Food, service, ambience and prices are very good. Spaghetti Cabonara and pizza are simply amazing! Great, 1000 thanks to everyone, including the kitchen staff! Been coming there every two weeks for over 6 months and the food is always A1. Unfortunately it's too far for us (2 hours), otherwise we would have been there more often. But otherwise we are in Osnabrück at Neumarkt almost every week, as it is 20 minutes from us. Thanks again for everything! Ciao

The restaurant is on a street but it wasn't bad in the least. You can still have a nice evening, the service is nice and polite, the atmosphere is well coordinated and the prices for the food and the food itself are cheap and tasty. I'd love to come back

We had our company party with 13 people here and were extremely impressed by the very friendly and humorous manner of the employees there. The store was packed with goods and the stress wasn't viewed negatively. Very good, keep it up

Real extra large Italian pizza in Hanover in a lively atmosphere. Excellent wine served at the perfect temperature. Well done!

We were there with a larger group and everyone was thrilled 🤩. The pizzas and salads were particularly good and the service was great and attentive. Gladly again. 😊

Man denkt , mit einer L’Osteria kann man grundsätzlich eigentlich nichts verkehrt machen. Hier aber wurde eigentlich alles verkehrt gemacht. Im Außenbereich keinerlei Dekoration auf den Tischen. Keine Polster auf den Metallstühlen. Wir fragten ob es vielleicht wenigstens Decken gibt, auf die man sich eventuell setzen könnte, aber die hatte man nicht. Kein Windlicht o.ä. NICHTS! Wirklich lieblos. Keine Atmosphäre. Dabei kann man das ja eigentlich so gut in den L’Osteria Filialen. Zum Essen: Das Risotto hatte seinen Namen nicht verdient. Es war zu stark gewürzter Reis mit Kräutern und Pilzen. Der Salat war gut, ebenso das Vitello, aber ausgerechnet die Pizza - das Aushängeschild der L’Osteria - war wirklich nur mittelmäßig. Trocken und geschmacklos. Der junge Mann, der uns bedient hat, war nett und freundlich, wenigstens ein Highlight. Ich kenne diese Filiale schon von einigen früheren Besuchen und da ist mir eigentlich nichts negativ aufgefallen. Hier muss also irgendwas grundsätzlich schief laufen. Für die Verantwortlichen allerhöchste Zeit etwas zu unternehmen. Vielleicht einfach mal beim Mitbewerber schräg gegenüber vorbeigehen und sich ein paar Anregungen betr. Gemütlichkeit im Außenbereich. Wäre schon mal ein Anfang.

Almost 14 euros for a lasagne for lunch... that's a limit for me.

Lovely Italian restaurant, great food, service and price 100% recommend

The pizzeria is right below my hotel, so I happened to be here. I can't remember the last time I had pizza this good! Top!

Days ago I was in this pizzeria around 3 p.m. There were only about 10 guests in the restaurant. However, at least four waiters/waiters. After waiting 10 minutes - I just wanted to drink a beer - I called an employee. She said she would bring me a beer immediately. After another 5 minutes I asked her if she had forgotten my beer. Finally I got the beer. AFTER A WAITING TIME OF OVER 15 MINUTES!! The beer was completely stale. The waitress said that the waiter in charge was currently in the toilet and that everyone “has to”. I found this to be an uncalled for comment, which was certainly not particularly appetizing. After the waiter in charge came to pay and I explained that I was upset, he said he also had other guests to serve. He then abruptly turned away from my table, even though I was still talking to him. He didn't even think it was appropriate to apologize to me. My ergo: "DEMOTIVATED EMPLOYEES LIKE IN THIS PIZZERIA WILL NECESSARILY AND SUCCESSIVELY RUIN THIS PREVIOUSLY GOOD DINING PLANT. A SHAME!!!

Food was delicious, the pizza was really big.

Pickup worked well. As always, the pizza was generously topped and tasted very good. Priced at the usual, slightly higher level. But adjusted for size. Also easy to reach in terms of location.

Very attentive and attractive waiter who treated everyone like his best friend. Really great. Drinks came quickly. Pizza sensational, just unwieldy to eat. Otherwise very good price-performance ratio. You were welcomed and said goodbye with a smile. Very pleasant.

We were there as a company, pre-booked - everything went great, food was great - L'Osteria - service was good. Dessert was really great. However, the tables were a bit crowded - the neighboring table always screamed in our ears... a little distance would be good.

As always perfect. A must in Hanover.

The service was very nice and accommodating, but the table we sat at was a bit too close to the other guests for my taste and too small for two pizzas. We ordered the vegan tuna pizza from the January menu as well as spinach pasta (Mezzalune Spenaci). The latter were quite good, but the pizza was a bit disappointing. It was nice and big, but the covering was sparse and should have been better distributed (more towards the edge). Unfortunately it didn't taste like tuna, but the vegan pizza melt stuck to your teeth. I've had much better pizzas in other L'Osterias. The vegan dessert (chocolate mousse with Amarena) was very tasty, but it should be described as a thick cream. Addendum: We went there again yesterday and had the Nduja Pizza and the Orchiette manzo al limone. The pizza was good but incredibly spicy and a bit oily. The pasta tasted homemade and had a great consistency. Unfortunately, the sauce hardly tasted like anything, but the abundant beef was super intense and fried to perfection. That was really perfect. The dessert of the month (Piccolo Tiramisu with Bailys and strawberries) was delicious, but could taste a little more like Bailys.

Everything is great in the restaurant, friendly staff, the food is served quickly and tastes just great. The restaurant is always very busy and therefore a little louder, but this doesn't bother you at all and is part of the ambience.

The service is really great, it is atmospherically decorated. The last time I was here was a few years ago. I have the impression that the pizza dough really turned out to be the cheapest. With such a dough you cannot bake at the necessary high temperatures. Huge pizzas with far too much cheese for my taste. I would prefer smaller pizzas and with the quality from the last time a few years ago.

eat good Unfortunately, a service person was unfriendly. The others were very nice. Immediately after eating the pizza, one of the employees asked us how we would like to pay (without having asked about paying or looking at the desert menu).

Food was ok, the pasta with asparagus was really tasty. But the service wasn't working at all: unfriendly to dismissive, no thank you after an undeserved tip and you can't expect a farewell either... The shortage of skilled workers in the Federal Republic is becoming increasingly apparent, sometimes in the catering industry. The Osteria is definitely no fun!

Aleks best waiter great service from Aleks

The pizza itself is super tasty, but being told at 10:15 p.m., sorry the kitchen is already closed, even though it's open until 11 p.m., I think... Last visit, as this wasn't the first time

L'Osteria is a chain that deserves to be represented in every city. Ordered to the park, it was very good & still warm. It's a pleasure.

The food there is actually quite good. In comparison, pizzas are huge but nothing special - but still good for the prices. The service there is quite chaotic but when you are served everything is fine. It's also really cool that you can put two pizzas together as one pizza and then just pay for the more expensive one.

Nice food and friendly people. They were good.

Great service, delicious food at a fair price

Massive pizza, nice toppings, great service

Very nice restaurant. You can eat great Italian food here. The portions are great and a pizza like this is super super and delicious.

Restaurant located on the main street. The service was very friendly but unfortunately didn't know the wines on the menu, which wasn't a big deal because the wine that was recommended by chance was very tasty, as was the pasta with basil pesto. The tiramisu is delicious but not exceptional as is the espresso All in all a successful visit, only the almost too quick preparation (about 4 minutes) makes you think a little, which is why a star is deducted from the overall grade

Pizza (vegan) was ready quickly and very tasty, the beer for the 25th anniversary was also very good and the staff was very friendly. I will definitely visit again when I am in Hanover.

It's a bit uncomfortable outside because of the traffic, but in the summer it was better than inside. The pizza and other dishes look appetizing, the pizza was well made - and large... The staff was very good.

High Pizza, delicious delicious!! Good price and excellent service!!

Huge pizzas, super friendly service

The ambience is pleasant. However, three of us had to choose new dishes and drinks twice because we didn't have any of these on site. In terms of taste, none of the dishes were convincing and the size of the portions was also manageable.

Very tasty pizza. One pizza is enough for two. I have not been here for the first time and will definitely come back again

No comparison to L'Osteria in Cologne. The waitress was completely overwhelmed even though the restaurant wasn't full. We had to return our food twice because the noodles were rock hard and therefore inedible. Some guests who arrived at the same time waited forever for their food. In some cases even guests were simply ignored... It's a real shame; Therefore this location is not recommended.

A little loud but very tasty. Huge pizzas and also the pasta portions can do something

Went here for the first time today after visiting the zoo. Booking a table was really an advantage! Fast, friendly service and special requests for food were no problem either. Huge pizzas but the pasta dishes are a bit too small for me!! But all in all a nice evening!!

Super tasty food, you can also sit outside, only the chairs are a bit hard and without cushions

We were there with friends from Rhineland-Palatinate and, as always, we were completely thrilled. Our friends also really liked it. As usual, super nice staff, delicious and rich food. We are and will remain regular customers and have also convinced our friends. Please stay the way you have been❤️👍

We had reserved in advance - that was good because the whole place was very full. Even though it was very busy, we were always served friendly and quickly. We ordered pizzas - super tasty. If I were to be in the area again, I would stop by again in a heartbeat!

As always, the food is very tasty and the staff is friendly

Good restaurant with delicious food and attentive staff. Unfortunately the interior is quite loud and cramped but otherwise clean and tasty. Gladly again.

I have a lot of experience in Italian food. I have tried in different restaurants in many countries (Greece, England, Germany, Belgium Andorra, Austria). Delicious food, impeccable service and beautiful surroundings.
