L'Osteria Jena Leutragraben in Jena

We ate here yesterday for a birthday and it was incredibly beautiful. The staff was totally accommodating, it was very busy, the food was great and ready quickly and even though the restaurant was very busy, the ambience only suffered to a small extent. However, you should definitely make a reservation as it is very popular, especially at Christmas time.

Very friendly and warm staff with a nice atmosphere and delicious food.

Once again had a lovely evening. Great service. Child friendly.

Great food, service was great and friendly staff. Can I recommend it?

Hello everyone, I wish you all a peaceful and wonderful Christmas time. Good luck in the new year. Also a big thank you for the wonderful hours with you. With Pascal you have the best general manager🫶. Stay as you are.

Our delivered pizza was a joke. Ingredients spartan and then thrown onto one spot with one hand. Garlic was missing. Salt too little. (I did the one in the picture.) Far too expensive for that! Don't do it again... have it delivered here. Very sad. We very rarely order food. Today was no different. I recommend non solo to everyone instead!

We were there with 3 people on the 3rd of Advent. Food great staff great. The only small criticism is that it was very loud due to the many customers. But it's due to the date. I found Cesar Pizza 1/2 and BBQ Chicken 1/2 very tasty.

Once again a highlight evening at L'Osteria Jena! Great food, great service, just wow! We highly recommend letting Leo and Anna serve you. We'd love to come back, ask Jessy😘

The food is amazing, the drink menu has a nice variety. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly especially the waitress Jessi ☺️ I recommend to anyone, from a special occasion to a regular Tuesday visit - this place if perfect for everything.

Nice evening in a great location with the biggest pizza in town! Our waiter Adi was particularly attentive, we would love to come back! ❤️

Our stay was great! Hasan especially was nice 🤙

Great service, Hasan the nicest waiter in Jena

Relaxed atmosphere and super nice restaurant! Nice staff and the best pizza in all of Jena, absolute recommendation!

Very good food, good service and a nice atmosphere

The food and service are absolutely great! Unfortunately, the atmosphere resembles a train station hall and the music is much too loud. The guests' conversations are correspondingly loud! Too bad!

Been here many times and the food is all delicious. The waitresses were super nice and quick.

Fair price. It was delicious. Very courteous service and huge pizzas. Very pleasant evening.

We come here regularly and are always thrilled. Huge but above all super good pizza and super nice service. Always a lovely evening here and a top recommendation.

simply awesome, super tasty, Andi has everything under control any time

Chic atmosphere, delicious pizzas 😁 I'd love to come back 👍

What a cool evening. Delicious and Andi as a waiter has everything under control. We'd love to come back

We were there with a group of 20 people. Fast and tasty food, really great service. Our waiter Andy in particular was in a great mood and joined in on every bit of fun, that's what I call service, gladly again 👍🏻

Andi is the best and friendliest waiter. I can only recommend it!

It was a very nice evening with my colleagues. We were well looked after by our waiter Andy and would love to come back again!

Great restaurant, with very nice waiters and the food was fantastic. Unfortunately one of the waiters was very unfriendly and brought with him a bad atmosphere. The tone with the guests was very bad and the way he bossed his colleagues around was also not okay in front of the guests. It is a man in his mid-20s with blonde hair and a tattooed arm. I would advise him to make the way he speaks to the guests a little more friendly and less aloof. An example: the whole table ordered drinks and my friend's was forgotten. Instead of asking politely, he looked at her and asked in an arrogant tone if she didn't want a drink. After that, there was no apology, he just told his colleague that she had forgotten a drink and should get it quickly. When we said we wanted to pay, he interrupted his colleague, who was busy collecting at another table, and told her: “They want to pay.” I think it would have been much more polite, for example: “The table/The ladies would also like to pay.” The colleague then apologized to us (for which there was no reason, but she apparently has decency) and asked if it would be okay if she could collect from the other table first. But all in all we were all very satisfied and I'm not deducting any stars because of one person.

It was a successful visit on November 24th, 2024. Food very good. Service is the same or better. Another visit will follow

Very tasty food, nice staff, it was a nice evening, I can only recommend it.

Quite okay. Pizza huge, but also very greasy with salami.

The atmosphere has something of a cafeteria, simply because of the size and the many tables. The food is always good. The waitresses change often (probably often students) but are mostly nice and accommodating. We like coming here with children because the restaurant is child-friendly and the noise of our own children is drowned out in the background noise.

The pizza was very common but give me a pair of scissors how am I supposed to get the huge thing with the knife on the small plate small.

Der letzte Besuch und die gemischten Erfahrungen. Meine letzte Bewertung vom September 2023 sag anders aus. Insgesamt gebe ich der Erfahrung 3 von 5 Sternen, da das Essen hervorragend war, der Service jedoch deutliche Schwächen aufwies. Essen: 5 von 5 Sternen Das Essen war wirklich ausgezeichnet. Sowohl die Vorspeisen als auch die Pizzen waren geschmacklich top. Die Zutaten waren frisch, die Pizzen knusprig und gut belegt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist, dass alle drei Pizzen auf den Punkt gebacken waren und die Vorspeisen ebenfalls sehr lecker zubereitet wurden. Hier gibt es nichts zu bemängeln. Service: 2 von 5 Sternen Leider hat der Service den Gesamteindruck stark getrübt. Zunächst wurden uns falsche Limonaden gebracht, obwohl wir explizit nach den Sorten gefragt hatten. Es stellte sich heraus, dass unsere Bedienung noch in der Ausbildung für einen anderen Standort war, und eine andere Bedienung musste einspringen, um das Problem Getränke zu beheben. Das ist verständlich, aber dennoch ärgerlich. Auch bei den Vorspeisen gab es einen Fauxpas: Das Brot wurde vergessen und erst nachgeliefert, nachdem wir darauf hingewiesen hatten. Solche Kleinigkeiten summieren sich leider und hinterlassen einen unprofessionellen Eindruck. Der größte Kritikpunkt kam jedoch bei der Bezahlung: Uns wurde mitgeteilt, dass wir einen Aufschlag von 10 % auf das gesamte Essen zahlen müssten, weil wir eine Pizza einpacken lassen wollten. Nachdem wir nachgefragt hatten, wurde das ganze relativiert mit dem Worten. Ich wollte nur einen Witz machen. Der Service trübte den ansonsten positiven Eindruck des Essens erheblich.

Went there for the second time today and found that 5 stars are appropriate. The food is great, the service is great and the prices are okay because the food is huge. At least the pizzas. Always happy.

Super friendly and nice service, food was great, but unfortunately not all desserts can be ordered

There were four of us when we visited the restaurant on November 16th, 2024 and each of us was totally thrilled! We arrived late but we were still warmly welcomed. The above-average friendly service staff fulfilled our every wish with a super-fast response time. And the top guy was the restaurant manager! Always on site, in all parts of the very busy restaurant... Absolutely nice and accommodating. Very, very good!!! You want a dedicated boss like that in the catering industry. And that's exactly what he transfers to the entire team. Keep it up... We'll definitely come back next time we're in Jean!

We really enjoyed the visit. We each ordered a pizza divided into two halves as well as various drinks and a dessert each. We can't complain about anything, everything was fine, we were happy and satisfied. The service staff were very friendly, courteous and helpful to us. Every wish was catered for. Overall, we can recommend L' Osteria, just as it was recommended to me. My recommendation: reserve your seats conveniently online, the restaurant is so busy that it might be difficult otherwise! 😅

Thank you for this beautiful experience for me and my family. A very nice and courteous service team, delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant.

Despite the fact that it is always full, that speaks volumes about how great the service, the service and the ambience are. And the food... I've actually never eaten such a delicious salad and such a great pizza anywhere else. A dream. Again and again.

Very tasty food, staff super friendly.

Everything was fine, only at the beginning the noise level was very high. There was a free panacotta dessert for the birthday child 🙂

Splendid!! As always! The staff was super friendly and accommodating! You can tell how well the team works together!! The price-performance ratio is definitely right!

Good food, very friendly service, since the dining room is very large, it quickly becomes very loud

1:15 min waiting time for pizza and salad, nothing more needs to be said.

Food tastes fantastic, but on Saturday you wait forever for your order... it's also restless and loud... but if you like it lively, colorful and tasty, you've definitely come to the right place.

Great restaurant... ordering a table is recommended 😊

We were at L'Osteria in Jena on October 30th. Our reserved table by the window was still occupied, so we had to wait maybe another 15 minutes. This waiting time was "sweetened" with a glass of champagne at the house's expense. The service was super nice, the food tasted very good. We can recommend this restaurant without reservations!

A small restaurant chain offering ‘modern’ Italian food. Pizzas are truly massive, and my avocado and quinoa salad was also very large, as well as nicely dressed and tasty. We went in mid-afternoon having skipped lunch. As a result I also skipped dinner! The seating area is large, and service was quick and friendly.

The food was very tasty and the service was super friendly. The ambience wasn't great, very loud and the space was terrible because the waiters had to lay very close behind with the food.

The food was very good. The pizza was very large, my Vegetariana was poorly topped and I didn't taste any garlic at all. The pasta portions were sufficient and tasty, but if you add desired ingredients, whether pizza or pasta, the final price can quickly add up. This time we ate on site, very nice waitresses, despite the full restaurant, always nice and polite. The food was very good and this time the garlic was also there. Price performance ratio excellent.

Great location. Good selection of cocktails. Friendly service.

Excellent food, great ,friendly staff . Absolutely amazing, will be coming back 100%

The food is always very tasty. I had Gnocchi Gamberetti. Highly recommended. The pizza is huge and actually hard to make. Very nice service. Good value for money.

Great food, attentive staff… Music but unfortunately too loud for a pleasant evening

Great service, Jonny is a rock. Despite a full house and obviously understaffed staff, we were well served. And also big praise for the kitchen. Very tasty pizzas and pizza rolls!

Fast and friendly service, very tasty food at a fair price. Gladly again :)

As always, the food was very tasty and the portion was also very large.

The food is super tasty and inexpensive, and the staff is also very nice and helpful. You don't have to wait long for your food if there are only a few people there. I can only recommend it for a cozy evening!

A bit noisy here...sounds a bit like a train station but the food and service are great.

We are actually regulars. Today we left the restaurant after 20 minutes without ordering because no waiter felt responsible for us and we hadn't even received the monthly menu. The QR order didn't work either. Service staff talked their way out of it with “I’m new” and “it’s not my area”. The restaurant wasn't nearly as full as usual. In short: service is getting progressively worse while the prices on the menu are rising. Will probably not come back again.

Much too loud music in the "background" the pasta dishes are more of an appetizer compared to pizza. But it tastes good and the staff is very nice

A sweet birthday surprise was wonderful. Thank you very much!

Even though we had reserved days in advance, we were given a cramped table at the drafty entrance. We didn't like the drinks and the supposed Italian food really has NOTHING to do with it. Our condition was fine and very friendly. But the other staff was incompetent and still felt super cool 😎. My conclusion: fast food with an Italian touch. Never again.

A great restaurant with Italian food, large selection, including drinks! We tried everything: starter, pizza, pasta, dessert, espresso!!! All excellent!

The food was very tasty. The atmosphere was also very pleasant. Can only recommend it :)

I had dinner here with a friend today and we were both very satisfied. The restaurant is beautifully designed and the service is very friendly and accommodating, we would love to come back🥰

It was very tasty and the food came quickly. Would come here again and again ❤️

Great pizza, 45cm. The dough is great, the option of having the pizza topped in different ways is simply brilliant. We'd love to come back.

The atmosphere is nice, but the veggie pizza is not good

We were very satisfied. Pizza tastes wonderful here and you feel super comfortable!

Very friendly and attentive service! Pizza was very large, really great and tasted good. What really bothered us was the loud music and this made all the guests talk even louder, which really stressed our group.

It was way too loud, like the train station.

The food is great and delicious, especially the pizza. However, the ambience inside is like a train station hall in terms of noise level. It's difficult to have a conversation in a larger group (4+) and the waitress has a hard time understanding you.

We ate at L'Osteria again. This time too, the service was friendly and accommodating. The food was very tasty. Price-performance ratio is very good here. The highlight of L'Osteria is the open kitchen, so you can look over the chefs' shoulders.

Very pleasant location. Wonderful service. Food 1a

Great, lively restaurant in the heart of Jena. Very nice atmosphere and the food was excellent! Huge thin pizzas, great salads, great pasta dishes. There were 11 of us and everyone enjoyed their dish. Definite recommendation!

Super delicious food at fair prices. The waiters were all very nice and accommodating.

Great service and super delicious food 🤗 Top

Super delicious food and nice staff!! Always my pleasure. ☺️

Best restaurant in Jena Recommended 😄

Great service, the food is perfect and the portions should satisfy everyone

It tasted great, the service was great and the atmosphere was very nicely decorated.

Love the pizzas. But no matter what you choose, if you like Italian cuisine, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. Top notch every time. 🫶🏽👌🏽

The best pizza I've eaten in a long time. This is what a pizza should taste like 👌🏻

The pizzas have a diameter of 45cm and protrude beyond the plates so that some of them were lying on the table. If you're going to bake pizzas that big (there's only one size), you should at least have appropriately sized plates.

Good food, nice staff. Unfortunately, there were quite long waiting times for the food.

Very tasty pizzas and friendly and quick service.

A very nice shop with a good atmosphere and friendly waiters. The prices for the pizzas are definitely reasonable prices.

I've been here several times and the service is always a dream. The pizzas are delicious, the dessert is always amazing. I'd love to come back here. The ambience is also really nice, for example to have a date or just go out for a nice meal. All in all, a very classy restaurant with a high reputation.

Delicious, Large portions, Delicious pizza with a wafer-thin base Very nice employees who work in a very service-oriented manner. It was a great experience for the whole family!

Very nice, helpful and tastes very good

Tip top 😃 Reservations make sense.

After waiting 40 minutes, we received the wrong order. Dane instead of apologizing spoke rudely to us. She also said that we have to leave the house!!!!! Such a rude person. I then talked to the “shift manager” and nothing changed. Too bad,

I actually enjoyed visiting the restaurant. But after we were treated in such an unfriendly manner by the operating staff for no reason. That was painful to experience as one is classified as a “foreigner” and is treated rudely and excluded. And in contrast, you can see how German customers are greeted in the opposite manner and are allowed to order more quickly. I can't rate the food. The best food in the world wouldn't taste good if customers were treated like that. I will never visit this place again. Walking along the street is uncomfortable for me now. It's a shame that discrimination of this kind is increasing in this beautiful city :(

Always great. Everything perfect

Online reservation at 8.30 p.m. with two children, the waitress assigned us the table and said she would be there shortly. There was no service until 9 p.m., not even to greet us or at least for drinks. I got up to speak to a waitress (something like that doesn't work), then placed the order. The waitress said it would take 10 minutes for the pasta to arrive, but it took 30 minutes… Not suitable for children at all, a shame…

The best pizza and pasta in town! Great service and atmosphere ❤️

Pizza is unbeatable. Taste wise an 11/10. The waiters are always friendly, even if the shop is usually full to capacity. The pizza is usually bigger than the giant pizza plate. The pizza is definitely around 50cm in diameter. Toilets always clean when I'm there. You will be familiarized with the Italian basics during your toilet use. By the way, soap smells great! Thank you for creating this beautiful dining atmosphere for me every time and making me this beautiful pizza! Best pizza in town.

We like visiting L’Osteria, the service was very friendly and accommodating. All of our dishes tasted good. One note - bringing food to children first and not last would be an idea for 5 stars.

Nice place outside. Good food. Few staff and therefore slow service

The food and service were outstanding! ☺️

Good service, super tasty food. It's really worth taking a look.
