L'Osteria Limburg in Limburg a.d.Lahn

We weren't assigned the best tables, even though they remained free until our departure. The music blares in the room; it wasn't installed by a halfway decent acoustic engineer. The risotto is bland, and the pumpkin isn't even cooked through – something the waitress, after commenting on it, apparently deliberately ignored and didn't react accordingly. There are ridiculously few mint leaves in the fresh mint tea. The espresso wasn't hot, but it was delicious. The pizza was okay, but we've had better at other L'Osterias. The head waitress's excuse: Those are the chain's management's cooking guidelines.

what a unanticipated meal: no feel of a chain. thin crust pizza, excellent desert, nice waitress giving recommendations, feels like home. feels great. tx.

Our visit was a few months ago now. I deliberately waited to write a review so I wouldn't embarrass anyone and could still share my impressions. The atmosphere is almost like a large warehouse. Loud, uncomfortable, and hectic. The staff was chronically understaffed. Nevertheless, our waitress stood by our table more than once and vented at length how stressed she was and how incompetent the others were. And that was truly unbelievably unpleasant. So, of course, we understood that we couldn't really be given any more attention and didn't want to make a big deal or "disturb" anyone any longer. The crayfish pasta tasted completely bland. The ingredients sound really interesting and delicious. But unfortunately, you couldn't taste any of them at all.

The 45 cm pizzas are well-topped and delicious. The service is attentive and helpful.

Very tasty food and nice service ☺️

Nice place, reasonably fast and friendly service, open kitchen, clean restroom, and Fastned chargers nearby. The tomatoes in my caprese salad were hard, tasteless cherry tomatoes, which was a shame.

We're a regular at L'Osteria. We're shocked at how we were treated. They made it very clear to us, in a very unfriendly manner, that late arrivals or individual cancellations weren't welcome. Everyone had to be there within 15 minutes, and any remaining seats would be forfeited. The best part was that they didn't tell us this on our last visit or before our next visit. Instead, they left us standing at the door with a gun to our heads. Disgraceful! Never again!

Yes, but sometimes you have to wait longer to get your drinks or food.

Once again, delicious! Very friendly and helpful service Always happy to come back

Always worth a visit! Fast, delicious, and uncomplicated. These huge pizzas are wonderful!

Yeah, it was okay. The food was good. The service was really friendly, but unfortunately not always reliable. When we still didn't have our coffee after 15-20 minutes of eating, we left. And the restaurant wasn't even half full. There was no apology, just an annoyed look. When we were packing up the food, we explicitly emphasized that everything from the pizza would be wrapped, but that also seemed to go unnoticed.

We were travelling trough Germany and slept in hotel next to it. We were really surprised to see sucha nice restaurant in the area. Everyone and everything was very good.

A very nice restaurant. We love eating here. The service is super friendly and attentive. Children are also welcome here. Simply great👍The food tastes incredibly delicious and the ambiance is also very nice. You feel very comfortable.☺️👍.

Great service, very friendly staff, very good food

The gentleman who escorts guests to their tables is a complete disaster. He sent us to wait at the bar because he had to clean our table. This took a while because he was busy doing other things. After a long wait, he showed us to our tables with a rude "Come with me!" Very arrogant and unfriendly! We won't go there again because of this person alone...but the food is really top-notch!

It's ideally located next to the A3 motorway; you just drive down and you're there. The food tastes great, and the selection is huge. 👍

Nothing to complain about. I'd love to come back.

The food was delicious. The service was very friendly. Unfortunately, we had to wait a while to get a waiter to order our drinks. But otherwise, it was really great. We'd love to come back.

It is a nice Osteria but the man at the counter is unfriendly the food tastes good

Very tasty, extremely friendly staff

They have very good pasta. We had pizza last time in Passau, and it was delicious.

The design/concept - really very good! Food - OK - I had zucchini spaghetti with spicy shrimp. It came across well! Sufficient and well-priced. That's okay for service desert Germany. Service - however, still needs improvement! There's a lack of daily briefing/culture. It takes 5 minutes, but it lasts forever. People live it up and respect each other. The pizza is way too big on way too small plates - gimmicky - ridiculous! Why don't you get plywood plates? It should be worth it. Maybe some kind of film between them to comply with the damn HACCP and the complete idiot from the GAA. The waiter at the table for 12 almost ripped half off the way too small plate; it almost fell off if he hadn't grabbed it by hand! Still, it was served to laughter. Maybe quite funny as entertainment, but like this? Sit down, 5!!! However, it fits very well with the German VBB culture (lots, colorful, and cheap?). Cutlery - was missing in some places. But it came quite quickly after a complaint - so it seems completely normal today! My beer was very warm (with thick-walled 0.5-liter glasses, they should have been chilled well beforehand! What a shame about the good beer. Who was sleeping there?) As a location for family events, it's perfectly fine. Many large tables occupied! I would go here again. But probably not as a couple.... Conclusion = satisfactory! For a master chef, already long retired, but from the Bocuse/Witzigmann/Dieter Müller circle and himself a long-time manager, it still takes some getting used to.

Great pizzeria. Highly recommended.

The pizza is delicious and the service is always friendly. You'd never notice that you're sitting right next to the highway. The surrounding area is very green 👍🏻

We ate at L'Osteria today, and it was really good! The kids had fun on the playground while we relaxed outside and watched everything unfold. The service was super fast, and the food was delicious...highly recommended!

Very good food and a very nice atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and quick.

Beautiful, large, high-ceilinged room. We were served quickly. The pizzas were overflowing. We chose lasagna and a salad, both delicious. Friendly staff. Clean restrooms.

The food tastes good, but the pasta dishes are ridiculous in terms of quantity. The pizzas are very large but very thin, which you have to like. The tables are unfortunately too small if all four of you order a pizza. But the "best" part came when paying. I was asked on a small debit machine whether I wanted to add a 10%, 15%, or 20% tip. That's definitely too much when you have a bill of €110. There are better options in Limburg and the surrounding area, especially for the money.

The Fastnet charging station was right next door!

Such a lovely surprise! We stopped to charge the car and, tempted by the delicious smell, decided to stay for dinner. The tomato soup and pizza were really tasty, but the best part was definitely the service – friendly, welcoming, and with a smile! There is also a high-power electric car charger right next door.

There were 15 of us for dinner, and everyone enjoyed their meal. Some of us would have drunk a little more if the service had been more attentive. The music was distracting, as we preferred to talk to music, which the high ceilings and poor acoustics already made difficult.

The quality of the pasta dishes simply can't keep up with the price. If the menu says "Ragù alla Bolognese," I actually expect a "ragù" and not a standard meat sauce, which was also very bland and I can make much better myself. On top of that, my dish was actually one of the dishes you can get on a lunch menu. However, I had already ordered my drink before ordering my food. The server said she would change it, but in the end, I still paid for both separately, thus missing out on the lunch menu discount. Since I also paid for my companion's drink, I didn't realize this until we were already back on the highway. So, it's not exactly worth repeating.

We love going to L Osteria with our family. Whether in Berlin (the atmosphere is fantastic), Gelsenkirchen, or Limburg an der Lahn, the pizzas are fantastic.

I found it disappointing that all the guests were crammed into one corner and couldn't choose a table, even though the restaurant was empty. Apparently, this was done so the staff wouldn't have to walk so far. We had some very unpleasant, noisy Dutch people at the next table; nobody needs that. We'd rather go to the Osteria in Bornheim; the staff are much nicer there and the food tastes better.

It was once again very, very delicious. The pizza is legendary and always very good. The service is very friendly and attentive. We're from the Westerwald region. See you next time.

We were on our way back from our vacation, just before we got home, at L'osteria, and we ordered pizza online to take home. This was the second time since they opened. One pizza was missing and still needed to be made, and all the pizzas needed a bit more heat. The staff there were very friendly! Unfortunately, the pizza was only okay.

The food was delicious. Unfortunately, we couldn't order anything until 30 minutes later, and it took another 30 minutes for drinks and another 30 minutes for the food to arrive. Unfortunately, it was very loud.

The handsome waiter named Ilija was a very excellent employee with a great sense of humor and a very hardworking staff. Please always tip him generously :)

Today was the last time I'll be visiting Osteria Limburg for a long time. It's a shame, I've been there often and happily over the years. But today was a blast. The waiter, as so often, took the order wrong for both dishes. The only response was, "It's okay, it's busy, bar or menu." The blast was being approached for the second time in a row by the team coordinator at the table, "Oh, who seated you here?" The table was cleaned especially for us, and we were seated, as we had previously made a reservation as usual. The last time, she even chased us away and sat us in a corner by the bar because she needed the table. I mean, we're paying guests; even people in need are treated better at the food bank. Otherwise, the rest of the Osteria team is very nice, and the food tastes very good, too. But it's a shame.

Absolutely fantastic! The pizzas could have been a bit crispier (longer in the oven), but the rest is simply AMAZING 👍👍👍👍

Very delicious food The service was very friendly Everything was excellent 👍👍👍👍

A very large and open-plan L'Osteria. The service was very friendly and seated us right away. Ordering was seamless. Our drinks and food arrived very quickly, so there wasn't much of a wait.

We love going here for dinner; people have become familiar with us by now. Even in the worst of times, the service is always top-notch, always friendly and solution-oriented. And the food is always good.

It tasted great and the staff was really friendly. Top notch.

Friendly staff, delicious pizza. What was left was packed up and will be tomorrow's meal... Thank you so much. It was lovely with you...

The food was great. The service was first-class. The atmosphere was too loud and hectic. But all in all, absolutely recommended.

Food good, service today rather busy but friendly and good, atmosphere like in the train station

A place where you feel at home. The food is very good and served quickly.

Everything was fine. Service was quick and attentive. There were no long waits.

Painful incident at L'Osteria Limburg – disappointing treatment of guests I always enjoyed visiting L'Osteria in Limburg – but this visit was my last. A hot espresso was spilled on my thigh while being served. In addition to the pain, my clothes were ruined, and my day at work in the field was ruined. The branch manager, Ms. F.B., promised to resolve the matter – but to date, nothing has happened. Instead of serious help or understanding, I was simply offered a €150 voucher. As if a voucher could compensate for the physical pain and material damage! I'm stuck with the costs and feel like I'm not being taken seriously as a guest. Extremely disappointing treatment, especially for a restaurant I've been loyal to for a long time.

The pizza has deteriorated considerably compared to the past. It feels like they've taken every ingredient and replaced it with a cheaper product, and put less on it. The cheese tastes rubbery, and the mozzarella from the discount store tastes cheap, as does the tomato sauce, and there's so little of the rest on it that you don't even notice it. It now tastes like a large Gustavo Gusto frozen pizza. But I could just eat two of those and even save half the price.

We ate very tasty pizza, the staff was friendly. Everything was great.

It's gotten quite expensive in recent years. Pizzas could have more toppings.

Another delicious meal! The pizza is simply amazing – in every way! Excellent service as always! And all this in a beautiful setting – what more could you want?

Very tasty pizza in the typical L'Osteria style. The service was very friendly. Even though we didn't have a table reservation and it was quite busy on a Saturday evening, they managed to find us a nice spot. Fast and good service.

The food was very tasty. The staff was friendly. Unfortunately, we waited over an hour for the food.

Excellent pizza, shame the service is slow

The welcome is always so warm, I always feel like I'm visiting good friends, and the food is incredibly delicious. I'm already looking forward to the next evening with you.

Very tasty. Extremely friendly. Great location near the EV charging station – just a minute away. Also close to the highway for all combustion engine drivers. The pizza is extremely large and of high quality. The ambiance is stylish and beautiful. You can also sit outside in the summer. The service is friendly, courteous, and pleasant.

We stopped at L'Osteria Limburg while passing through and were not disappointed. Delicious food, friendly service, and a lovely terrace to relax on. Highly recommended.

Always simply good! The pizzas are great, the staff really friendly, and the atmosphere is great;)

Unfortunately, we were very annoyed with our visit yesterday because the service was simply terrible. The pizza wasn't as good as usual, and we had to wait forever to pay. We were usually regular customers, but that will probably change now.

Recommend them as the food is tasty, they have fast and friendly service. The pizza is very big so one pizza is enough for 2 people. Plenty of space, clean with modern furniture

Super delicious pizza and pasta, friendly service and a cozy atmosphere – L’Osteria Limburg is definitely worth a visit!

Very large, very tasty pizzas. The crusts are wafer-thin and crispy. The desserts are also highly recommended. Anything you don't manage to eat is carefully packed away.

We ate at L'Osteria Limburg today and were thrilled! A very nice restaurant with a great atmosphere. The pizza was huge, fresh, and incredibly delicious – true Italian quality that's rare to find. The service was friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended for all pizza lovers in Limburg!

The pizza is gigantic. It's a good meal.

Very friendly and attentive service. Food of consistently high quality.

As has often been the case here at L’Osteria Limburg, from the welcome to the farewell, it was a wonderful evening for my wife and me. Our dog was also lovingly looked after, and the food, ambience and service were, as always, simply fantastic.

I shared a pizza and a salad with a friend. Even half a pizza was more than enough. Both were delicious. The service was attentive, courteous, and super-friendly. The only negative thing I personally noticed about the evening was the noise. The volume made conversation difficult. Nevertheless, it was a creative and unusual restaurant that I would happily return to.

Of course! Here's an enthusiastic restaurant review based on your description: --- 🌟 **Highly recommended – A real highlight!** 🌟 We were traveling with a large group and were treated with the utmost care at this restaurant. From the moment we arrived, we realized that true professionals were at work here: The service was absolutely outstanding – attentive, friendly, and always in a good mood. Despite our group size, the food was served promptly, and everything ran like clockwork. The organization was excellent – ​​we always felt welcome and in good hands. The atmosphere throughout the restaurant was wonderfully relaxed and lively at the same time. The waiters not only had the right timing, but were also genuinely warm. 👏 A huge compliment to the entire team – that's what hospitality is all about! We'd love to come back!

The osteria successfully combines Italian charm with Swiss style and offers a warm, inviting atmosphere – noticeable from the friendly welcome at the entrance. The pizza is a fine, crispy Roman-style version, excellent in flavor and prepared with high-quality ingredients – just as a good pizza should be. The pasta dishes are also carefully cooked, traditionally "al dente," which brings out the intense flavors particularly well. On busy evenings, the dining room can become a bit livelier due to the combination of music and background conversation. The staff also occasionally seem a little overwhelmed during peak times – which is entirely understandable given the large number of guests. Nevertheless, the team is always friendly, accommodating, and there for guests with a smile. Overall, a highly recommended restaurant for anyone who appreciates good food in a pleasant and lively atmosphere.

Unfortunately, I am bitterly disappointed by the behavior of the waiters; I will never visit this restaurant again. After being asked to sit anywhere at the entrance, I was asked two minutes later to sit somewhere else because the table was reserved. Half the restaurant was empty, and when I asked if I was not welcome as a guest, the person in charge of seating warned me to please leave the restaurant if I did not leave my table. This is unacceptable, and my reaction here is accordingly. The feedback below from the so-called "owner" is also surprising, because the franchise partner of l'Osteria Limburg had apologized to me in response to my personal message!

The food was OK, like any L'Osteria. Service was so-so.

The entrance personel were such stupid. All the restaurant was empty and they said you cant seat 2 people in a table of 4.

Unfortunately, it was a very hot day, and we were given a table partially exposed to the sun for our reservation, even though other tables in the shade were available. Accordingly, service was rarely seen at our table. The food was delicious as always.

I had a pasta oil and garlic. Lots of oil, no garlic. The pasta was really over cooked and had little taste. Luckily there was a bottle of spicy oil on the table At least some flavour. Way too much tomatoes. The service was excellent. The host was cheeky.

The Pizza Bo (calzone) is highly recommended. The atmosphere is nice and the service is excellent; we always enjoy being served by Thomas, in particular.

Good food for an affordable price.

All ok for a meal while charging the car, but note for management: your staff is running, not very nice for them, and I was waiting 15 minutes for my bill. Your kitchen is way too far from your tables. Add some robots to help with service, and add QR codes to pay and order, will help your staff on a busy day (they were very kind) 👍🏻

★★★★★ We're true L'Osterians and love going to a L'Osteria – and the one in Limburg is truly exceptional! The atmosphere is super pleasant, the staff incredibly friendly and attentive. The food, as always, was excellent – ​​large portions, great taste, simply typical L'Osteria. We felt completely at home and had a wonderful time there. Next time we're on the highway, a stop here is definitely planned. A definite five stars!

TOP pizzas and very, very friendly staff.

Visually, it's definitely a looker, and the food is delicious as always. Service wasn't so good. The place wasn't very busy, but no one wanted to serve us for the first 25 minutes.

Very tasty food, but you notice that many of the dishes are ready-made products. Still, delicious food.

Nice atmosphere, with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was very friendly and attentive. The food is of a very good L'Osteria standard. Thank you.

A real highlight! I went there spontaneously and not only enjoyed great food, but also met T. – a super nice guy! The atmosphere is lively, and although it can take a little longer when the place is full, the wait is absolutely worth it. The food is not only delicious, but also a real eye-catcher – lovingly prepared and authentically Italian. Little bonus: Even in the restroom, you'll be entertained – you'll learn a bit of Italian there. 😄 La Asteria is more than just a pizzeria – it's an experience. Grazie mille – I'd love to come back! 🍕🇮🇹

After a long drive, we wanted to enjoy a quiet meal here. However, this wasn't possible – not even close. The noise level is so unbearable that you'd forget about a conversation. You're greeted by listless staff who don't respond to questions or seating requests, typing this with a natural unfriendliness. The service also leaves room for improvement. They were always trying hard, like you'd read in a job reference. But you couldn't expect more enthusiasm. You're not seen, you're not heard. You almost have to stand up and wave your arms to be noticed. The pizza was good in terms of size, as you'd expect from L'Osteria. The toppings were sloppy, and the taste was definitely below the level I've experienced at other locations. Ergo: Compared to other restaurants in the chain – not really a recommendation.

A very nice osteria. You can tell the owner puts his heart and soul into running the place. Great service, good food, and a fantastic atmosphere...I felt at home.

We were passing through from Bavaria to Holland

Everything was perfect. Not so busy at lunchtime and a great place for a rest. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. I'll stop again when I'm on my way.

Good location for a date, good selection of pizzas. You can also order 50/50 pizzas. The plates could just be bigger.

Very tasty dishes, attentive and good service. However, during our visit it was very busy and the noise in the dining room was unpleasant, also due to the high ceilings.

It's always truly delicious. It's always quite busy on Saturday evenings, so it's best to make a reservation. The waitresses are always quick, even when the crowds are high.

The pizza is awesome. Very big and 😋

I'm a huge L'Osteria fan, but yesterday I was totally disappointed. My chicken and feta summer salad was completely meager. The two pieces of bread weren't too chunky, just soft. Since I ate my husband's pizza after the nothing, I also noticed that the pizza had been in the oven too long and was completely dry. A piece of the food simply cracked when I bit into it. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures.

Recently, we visited here for the third time (as usual, either at the beginning or end of a vacation 😄). I highly recommend this L'Osteria, located very close to the A3 motorway, especially for a nice rest stop. Good food and equally good service are offered here at reasonable prices. Special requests are also accommodated, and there's plenty of parking. We'll be happy to come back.

We picked up two pizzas today. When we got home and opened the boxes, we were very disappointed. The toppings were very sparse. The crust was terrible. It was so hard we thought we were eating chips. One pizza was even burnt on top. The staff making the pizzas looked like they didn't want to work. They practically threw the toppings on the floor. Sorry, that was the worst of the day. We won't be getting anything from here again. (It's a shame about all the money you spend on food like that).

We were served very nicely; the young lady welcomed us warmly and took our orders pretty quickly for a group of 12 people. I ate pasta which tasted very delicious; I can highly recommend it!

Very unfriendly and long waiting time

What can I say? L'Osteria is always worth a quick stop for a really good meal. The ambiance is unique. The price is reasonable for the service.
