L'Osteria Leipzig in Leipzig

We ate there with a group of 10 for an event. The staff welcomed us very warmly. Unfortunately, the extremely loud atmosphere made conversations difficult, especially since we actually had two people with hearing impairments in our row. When we asked if the music could be turned down a bit, another member of staff replied, annoyed, "That's just our thing, loud music."... OK... The food was OK, too bad the vegan cheese substitute costs extra. The drinks were quite good. Otherwise, everything was clean, and the selection of vegan alternatives was good, too.

The pizzas are incredibly delicious and large. Perfect for sharing, as you can choose two toppings. Very friendly and attentive staff. Thanks, Paula, for the service.

The pizza was a bit light on toppings, the service was okay, the atmosphere was nice but very loud.

Today, three of us were there without a reservation. We got a table quickly, and ordering drinks was easy and smooth. The wine was good. Unfortunately, it was already chilly outside, and there was a draft at our table. The entrance door was only closed after we asked three times, having previously stood open the entire time. Two of the three pizzas arrived, but the third didn't. When the third finally arrived, it was cold, meaning it had simply been forgotten. In the end, we wanted to take some of the uneaten pizza with us, which we were offered, but unfortunately, it was also forgotten. In total, I had to get up three times to point out the open entrance door (October, drafty) and once to point out my cold pizza, which was a bit tense overall. On the other hand, the staff frequently asked us if "everything was okay," which it wasn't. Overall, there's a certain discrepancy between the rhetorical effort (4 stars) and the actual action (2 stars), but the employees there are certainly stressed, too, and I can understand that to some extent. The pizza is extremely large, but also thin, which is why it cools down quickly and quickly becomes too crispy if it's been in the oven a little too long. Personally, I don't think that's so good. The atmosphere itself is nice, though; everything is stylish.

We had reserved a table at 6:30 p.m., and we were supposed to pay and leave promptly shortly after 8:30 p.m. That's not a problem in principle, but we had to wait 45 minutes for our food and couldn't even enjoy our drinks and dessert in peace. That made the evening very disappointing☹️. The food was delicious, though. Best, Nancy

"La Dolce Vita – but a little quieter, please!" We were at L'Osteria on Martin-Luther-Ring in Leipzig and were served by an exceptionally friendly waitress – high praise for that! 🍕🥂 The food was really good, the pizza so big it almost needed its own table. The place was packed – apparently, Italian flair here is synonymous with Italian volume. Between the conversations, the clattering of forks, and the music, I almost felt like I was at a street festival in Naples – except at least you're allowed to dance there. 💃 When we politely asked if they could turn the music down a bit, we received a charming reply: "The music is part of the concept." Oh well – the concept is the concept. It's just a shame that this concept apparently doesn't extend to the restroom, because there the music was suddenly discreet and pleasant. Nevertheless: A nice evening, good food, great service – with earplugs, it would have been almost perfect! 😉

Fast service, the biggest pizza in the world, and very tasty. Thank you.

Super nice and delicious food. Vincent from the service was very friendly.

We were at L'Osteria today and were served by Vincent, who was simply fantastic! He was super nice, attentive, and always had a funny saying ready. His friendly manner made us feel immediately at home. The food was delicious as always, but Vincent's humor and service made the day perfect. Thank you so much, Vincent, we'll be back!☀️

It's always lovely here. I highly recommend the beef orecchiette in mascarpone sauce! Today we were served by Vincent, which rounded off the whole experience. Very funny and attentive service. Thank you!

We are very satisfied. As usual, delicious food and very friendly service from our waiter, Vincent!

Everything was delicious. Vincent is our favorite waiter. We'll be back.

Hey, It was my first time there, and it was fantastic. It was incredibly crowded, so I recommend everyone to reserve a table, otherwise it'll be crowded. There was a promotion at the time where you get a free soft drink if you say "Dolce Vita" before ordering. I think promotions like that are great. The pizza I had was huge and super delicious (BBQ chicken), highly recommended. A small criticism, but that's nitpicking. There can be a long wait for the food, but it's definitely worth it. I waited 30 minutes, but it was definitely worth it. Best, Dani from HST

We celebrated the end of our team event at L'Osteria Leipzig. It was a thoroughly successful evening. I'd especially like to highlight the service – if I could give more than 5 stars, I would. :-) The pizzas are so large they don't fit on the plate. Half is perfectly sufficient here... You've been warned :-) The food was excellent – ​​right down to the dessert (recommendation: pistachio tiramisu...) We'd be happy to come back anytime...

Vincent from the service was super nice! The food was delicious! 10/10!

The food was delicious and our waiter, Vincent, was super nice. Thank you.

Highly recommended. We had a lovely waitress, Michaela. She was very welcoming and friendly, despite the busy customers. The food took a while to arrive, but it was more than worth it. The pizza was the size of a wagon wheel (amazing), but incredibly delicious, and the pasta (Carabonara) was simply fantastic. We left the place feeling plump and satisfied. Highly recommended.

We were here for the first time today and were very pleasantly surprised. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were warmly welcomed by the staff. Our waiter (Vincent) created a very pleasant atmosphere. Our food arrived very quickly and tasted absolutely delicious. Thank you very much, we'll be back.

We will definitely come back here: delicious Italian food 🍕 and a friendly waiter named Vincent 🍹

We had a lovely evening with delicious food. Thanks also to our charming server, Isa. We'd love to come back.

The employee Isabelle was very friendly and accommodating.

I like the place. They always have delicious pasta and cocktails. My kids love the gnocchi here.

The evening at Losteria was truly lovely, with truly amazing food. Everything was delicious, and the portions were generous – great value for money! Our waitress, Isa, was truly attentive and personable, and the service was excellent. We didn't have to wait long for the food; it arrived about 15 minutes after our drinks – highly recommended! 🥰

I came here for dinner and the ambience was nice. Service and food was great. Would visit again.

Warm welcome, delicious food, very pleasant service by Isa with many delicious recommendations

Isa is a wonderful waitress. She makes excellent wine recommendations…

Friendly service (Isa), and special offers were pointed out. Overall, a pleasant atmosphere and good/large food.

Losteria is a very profitable restaurant. The service is very friendly and attentive. The food is delicious, and the ambiance is also wonderful.

The food was truly delicious, and despite the restaurant being quite busy, we didn't have to wait long for our food. Our waitress, Isabella, was very friendly and personable. The selection is very varied, and you can even customize it. It was great that the pizza was really large! You can take the leftovers home, which I also think is very nice. That way you can still enjoy the delicious meal the next day.

There were four of us there for my birthday. It started off with a table that was far too small in a corner. We asked the waiter for a bigger one, but he asked his colleague who was doing the check-in that day, and the waiter just rolled his eyes. Of course, we didn't get another table, even though there were so many large tables free. The music that day was also far too loud. We weren't allowed to light a tea light that was on the table, even though we asked and said there was a birthday child with us. The food was poorly presented. So there was no such thing as a feast for the eyes. The only good thing about the visit was the free dessert and the two free espressos. All in all, very disappointing, and on a birthday too.

Pizza, as always, sooooo delicious. Staff very friendly and attentive. Best to make a reservation.

Highly recommended. The food is delicious and the ambiance inviting. There's something for everyone, and it's plentiful. The value for money is excellent. We will definitely return on our next stay or try other restaurants in other cities. The staff is super friendly. We definitely recommend it.

The staff was very friendly and attentive. The interior is beautifully designed. It's a place to relax and enjoy delicious pizza.

Had a great afternoon in this restaurant today with wonderful service 😍 Denise you are the best 👯‍♀️

We went to Sunday brunch, and it was delicious. Thanks again to Dennise, who does a fantastic job.

Great food! Great service! Denise the little girl made our evening so special! She's a 12/10 today, just like the date! I wrote a good review just because of her 👯‍♀️💃 P.S.: Your little gem ;)

Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was not a good one. It was last Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. My wife ordered pasta, and I ordered a pizza. The loud music annoyed us from the start, but we were hungry and tired. After an hour, we asked (friendly and politely) how long it would take for our food. The waitress told us the food would be right away and that there were only two, at most three, orders left before ours. These two or three orders then took another 35 minutes. My pizza was huge, but tasted average at best, and my wife's pasta was unfortunately not good at all, with burnt mushrooms and pasta swimming in grease. In any case, the mood was ruined. The waitresses were visibly stressed, but were always patient and friendly. In such cases, perhaps a small gesture of goodwill with a drink or coffee on the house, as an attempt at at least partial redress, would alleviate the frustration somewhat. For the remaining three days of our vacation in Leipzig, we went to another Italian restaurant nearby for dinner.

We spontaneously decided to have dinner here. And what can I say? It was simply fantastic! The ambiance was appealing and well-maintained, the quality of the food and drinks was excellent. Denise, our server, was attentive, humorous, always smiling, and there when you needed her! Thank you, best wishes from table 90. We'll see you again, I promise ;)

Without a reservation and a very full house, the service still made it possible for us to accommodate 7 people and have a very cozy evening with delicious food and very good service/Denise 😊😊 always happy to see the bar guests🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕

We were out together as sisters today, and to round off the evening, we ate at your place. It was, as always, absolutely delicious! But what makes this evening so special for us is the incredibly kind, witty, and humorous service we received. Thank you so much, dear #Pastalover Denise ♥️ The 👭🏻

What a dinner. 🥰 Even though we didn't have a reservation, we still managed to get a relaxed spot for Saturday evening. Probably the best, too, because Denise - what a magnificent gem you are 🫶🏻. We had the sweetest, most energetic, and kindest waitress. Thank you for your hospitality. All the best to you 🍀 Otherwise, the food was top-notch, as always. Your recommendation for the pasta was also very good and incredibly delicious. Mausi…… & Matze (matze___87 📸)

Thanks to Denise! We were there with our little daughter and could only sit outside – Denise immediately brought us blankets and pens. We had to wait a bit, but her hospitality was truly a highlight♥️

Denise Who was very nice and friendly, and the food was really delicious 🍹🍸

We thank Allesandro, who conjured up an outstanding meal and was very accommodating. Karl, who served us superbly from the very beginning, did an equally great job. L'Osteria has been one of my favorite restaurants since childhood. Mimi

We waited over an hour for our food. When my pasta arrived, it was cold and extremely hard. When we asked for a knife, we were given a dirty one. The bruschetta was very watery. All in all, not recommended. The highlight was the salad that was served at the end.

The food was excellent; The children's meals arrived a little earlier, which we appreciated. The service was very good and attentive. We sat right next to the kitchen, which was very positive for me as a chef. The kitchen works quickly, as a team, and very professionally. We'd be happy to come back.

The food was delicious, our waitress Isabel was very friendly, attentive, and took great care of us.

Great food, fantastic service, will definitely be back! 😁

Delicious food, great pistachios, and great service! 🤗

It's "just" a L'Osteria like any other, but it still deserves a mention. The ambiance...okay, you know it. Cozy, everything is nice and in good condition. The food: familiar as a L'Osteria goer. But the staff is top-notch! Despite the busyness and stress, everyone was smiling, in a good mood, and interested in the guests. This made it a fantastic visit. For example, a (blonde) employee gave us the chance to get a seat right at the entrance. Without a reservation and without much "oh dear" or "oh dear." Thanks again for that! Other places do much worse! With Leo as a server, we also had someone who, despite his rushing around, was in a good mood and thus provided excellent service. The L'Osteria Leipzig rounded off our vacation day and once again demonstrated that the concept works. Whether in Frankfurt, Offenbach, Heidelberg, other cities, or here in Leipzig: We enjoy being guests, and it once again showed why.

Very tasty food and extremely good service from Leo :)

Great concept, super friendly service, Very appetizing food. A perfect all-round success. Thanks to service staff Leo... perfect

This Italian restaurant is a real insider tip! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with warm lighting and charming decor that immediately conveys an Italian feeling. The menu offers a fantastic selection of authentic dishes – the homemade pasta was a dream, and the pizza was crispy and perfectly topped. The friendly service deserves special mention: Leo, our waiter, was attentive without being intrusive, and his little anecdotes about the dishes ensured a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We were also impressed by the selection of drinks. A place we will definitely visit again!

Unfortunately, the pizza was cold and had very few ingredients. Furthermore, the service staff was unfriendly. It's a shame; I expected more. Once and never again.

We were thrilled with the ambiance, food, and service. The new server, Leo, in particular, made our stay even more enjoyable with his friendliness, attentiveness, and dessert recommendation.

We were there today for Sunday brunch and are unfortunately a little disappointed with our visit. We had made a reservation about 8 weeks ago because we had read that this was required. Unfortunately, we could hardly find anything with the exact price online. Only after intensive research did we find €19.50 (although it included coffee). That would have been a reasonable price. When we got there, there was a menu on our table that said €19.50 and €24.50. When we asked more closely, we were told that the new prices apply from this month and that no drinks are included. (The reservation reminder that came a few days ago could have pointed this out.) We thought that the quality and selection of the food would really have to make up for it. Unfortunately, the variety was a little sobering. We found something, but the variety of fruit and cold cuts wasn't outstanding. With the soups, there were two signs in front of one pot. And there was only one type the whole time. Even after asking the staff for clarification, there was never a response. The service staff (which was very generous) seemed overwhelmed. Even for a bottle of water, we had to wait forever. Sorry, but in conclusion, the value for money was not at all right. (And even more so after the price increase!)

Last night, the two of us spontaneously got a table at 8 p.m. without a reservation. It was fantastic! The service was very friendly and attentive. The food (soup, salad, and a huge pizza) was delicious. The only thing that bothered us a bit was the loud music, but it meant we couldn't hear conversations at the next table, but we could still have a conversation. Overall, a very successful evening!

We were completely satisfied. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. Thank you for the wonderful evening we had.

Many thanks to the waitress Tina for her kind hospitality (and for spinning the wheel of fortune)! We'd love to come back!

Now that's what I call a calzone...super-sized and incredibly delicious. Of course, the other pizzas were also delicious and huge.

Four of us and our dog came for lunch without a reservation and got a table without any problems. The service was very good (thanks Daniel :)), the food was delicious, and our dog was welcome and immediately given water. We are completely satisfied and full :)

Unfortunately, I don't think the price-performance ratio is appropriate. The pizza is oversized, and there could be more pasta.

We went there for the first time and were very satisfied. The atmosphere was lovely, the service was very friendly and attentive. The pizzas were absolutely fantastic. The large pizza plates were much too small. And it was relatively inexpensive. We'll definitely go back.

What a shame! I pointed out my food allergy several times and even asked for the allergen order. It was repeated three times, and yet the "chef" still missed it and didn't read it correctly, so the allergen was served. After taking a bite, I noticed it and asked the waiter again. The waiter asked the kitchen again, and "oops!" They forgot and didn't read the order correctly. This shouldn't happen to people at risk of anaphylaxis, especially since it was addressed/communicated several times. Not recommended for people with allergies; not trustworthy. Especially since you had to wait 45 minutes for the food and then couldn't eat it.

Our stay was generally very pleasant. The service was extremely friendly, competent, and quick. The food offers excellent value for money. My only criticism: the music is definitely too loud, making normal conversation at the table difficult.

Very friendly staff...excellent food! We'll definitely be back!

We ate at L'Osteria today, and it was fantastic! The food was truly delicious, as always! We'd especially like to give a shout-out to our server, Denise, who was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Her smile and positive attitude made our afternoon even more enjoyable. 🧚✨

There were five of us at the restaurant. I ordered the pumpkin risotto a la casa. Unfortunately, the risotto was still half-cooked, and most of the pumpkin pieces had hard skins, making it difficult to eat. That was disappointing. My friends' pizza and lasagna, on the other hand, were very tasty – it's a shame my dish wasn't as good.

Great restaurant with truly outstanding service, the pizzas are huge, and the salad is truly something different. We'd love to come back.

Unfortunately the food was not good and we waited very long, over an hour

We were a little disappointed. The pizza was nothing to complain about, very good, and the idea of ​​being able to choose two pizzas in one is excellent. Unfortunately, the lemon and mascarpone pasta was really not good, no lemon flavor and very filling. There was way too much mascarpone, it wasn't good. The service wasn't very pleasant; our waitress only smiled at us when we were supposed to tip. The rest of the evening, she was quite cold and unfriendly. It's a shame, we had only heard good things about the osteria, but unfortunately we were disappointed.

The food was delicious! The service was great, and the ambiance rounded it all off – we'll definitely be back :)

Very good Italian cuisine. The antipasti platter is incredibly delicious. The pizzas are huge and delicious. A definite recommendation.

The antipasti plate, pizza bread, and spicy olive oil—oh so delicious. The tomato soup, too. The two of us are stuffed and happy. Go there and enjoy. As always, Ho & Di

If you like it loud, this is the right place. We were a birthday group of around 25 people spread across 4 tables put together... The most we could do was have a conversation with the person sitting next to us. We were unlucky that 3 tables away from us a "howler monkey" was trying to entertain the restaurant in his simple-minded way. The food was very good and the service friendly. But the volume was completely unacceptable, not just because of the uncouth guest, but also because the music was exhaustingly loud. When I asked about it, it was revealed that the music was deliberately turned up too high to counteract the noise from the guests. This is logic that doesn't make any sense. As a couple or as a family with children, you CANNOT go here. What a shame. The food is great, the management is a disaster. I can't recommend this restaurant and will avoid it in the future.

We had dinner here tonight and it was honestly a very disappointing experience. It took nearly 20 minutes before anyone came to take our order, and then another 40 minutes until the food finally arrived. When the pizza came out, a piece of it had already been removed, which was shocking to see. When we asked the waiter, he casually said that part of it was burnt and they just took it off — no apology, no professionalism. He even told us that if we wanted a new pizza, we’d need to wait another 40 minutes. The staff’s attitude felt careless and dismissive, and not once did anyone apologize for the situation. For such a popular restaurant chain, this was far below any reasonable standard. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place at all.

So you'll definitely be full, because you won't find larger pizzas anywhere else. But the pasta is the insider tip.

Super delicious food at Sunday brunch! There's a cold section and a hot section. From lasagna to pasta, tarte flambée, pizza rolls, sandwiches with avocado and egg to tiramisu, cakes, cornflakes, cold cuts, rolls, and scrambled eggs, everything is there! The quality is truly fantastic and the staff are super attentive (especially given the stress). Unfortunately, we lost a star because it was simply not clear to us how much it cost. I couldn't see the price when making the online reservation. When I called the restaurant, I was told it was €25 per person. I found an integrated filter coffee flat rate online. However, the menu on site said: Mon.-Sun. Italian brunch for €19.50. However, at a few tables, it was clear that it cost €24.50, without any drinks. A small cup of filter coffee is added for an additional €1.95. A freshly squeezed orange juice costs €4.50. I wish the website would list the full price-performance ratio (I hope I wasn't too stupid to research it) and update the menus (Mon-Sun for €19.50). One idea I'd recommend might be a carafe of tap water and glasses.

Very nice ambiance, friendly and competent service, delicious food. A pizza that's only 45 cm in diameter is too big for normal people to handle. Why isn't there a smaller version?

A lovely atmosphere and delicious food. A very large pizza.

The food is delicious and the service is friendly. The atmosphere is also lovely, and it's a great place to have a good conversation.

The pickup order worked great, thank you very much.

We'd be happy to come back anytime. Highly recommended! The perfect end to our lovely girls' weekend. Excellent service, always amazing food.

We were very satisfied, the food came quickly, the atmosphere was magical, we would love to come back :)

very nice staff and very tasty food:)

The meal took almost 1.5 hours, which I don't think is acceptable these days.

Very tasty food, filling and the surroundings are beautiful.

Courteous and friendly service. The food was wonderfully served and plentiful. Clean, fine, and delicious.

Very nice service (Michael), delicious food and drinks

The food was, as always, delicious. No long waits, and the service was fast and attentive. Many thanks to our waiter, Michael!

My best friend and I enjoyed lunch at L'OSTERIA. With a great atmosphere and excellent service from our waiter, Michael, we immediately felt welcomed. Highly recommended.

I visited your restaurant for the first time in many years and, just like back then, we felt very comfortable. We had excellent service, who was very friendly with all the guests. She was attentive and, despite the full house, was willing to have a little chat. The pizzas were delicious – kudos to the kitchen.

A bit noisy inside. Very friendly staff, very good food. Addendum: The fact that it was noisy didn't bother me too much; it's just part of the Italian lifestyle. Just meant as a heads-up for people who don't like it that much. I also have to say that L'Osteria Leipzig is very child-friendly; the kids are immediately given a children's menu to color in with crayons.

Our stay at L'Osteria was fantastic! The outdoor seating is very comfortable and quiet, and the service is friendly, fast, and very attentive. Many thanks to Vincent for the great service; his witty manner rounded it off perfectly. We'll be happy to come back!

We had a truly wonderful day! Our waiter, Vincent, was super friendly, attentive, and looked after us excellently. The food and atmosphere were fantastic – we felt completely at home and would gladly come back.

The food was incredibly delicious, and the price-performance ratio was definitely right. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. We can only recommend it!

At first, I thought the evening was going to be a disaster. We waited a long time for drinks, and the food took a while too. The first server (I don't want to name names so no one gets in trouble) was a bit slow and unfriendly. Apparently, there was a change, or our fuss was passed on. Anyway, I'd like to commend our new waitress that evening, Denise. The service was amazing. She was so quick and friendly and cleared many tables and served food without any problems, always had a smile on her face, and even managed to joke around with the guests. Truly great!

If all waitresses were like Denise, I'd probably never eat at home again. Young, energetic, quick as lightning—and with a smile that would sweep you off your feet. The service was so stellar I almost forgot it was about the food. 😉 If you don't get full here, it's your own fault! The G...

The meal was a disaster. My pizza came burnt, and the waiter I asked to bring me a new one just looked at me gloomily and said it wasn't possible. Great! The drinks took forever to come and were way too sweet. Apparently laced with some kind of syrup. The wonderful waitress, Denise, saved the day for us. She was super funny, made sure we got new food, and generally provided a few laughs. Luckily, that saved the evening. That's service!

Super friendly staff, also very attentive if you are there with children :-)
