L'Osteria Vetro in Düsseldorf

Centrally located restaurant in Düsseldorf. Food and drinks are at normal prices, which you would expect in Düsseldorf in the summer of 2025. If you sit outside, there's always something going on on the two streets! The "Frutti di Mare" pizza and lasagna (regular size, approx. 28 cm) for €14.90 were good. The lasagna for €13.90 could have been a bit more, but it was also good. Small Altbier (Altbier) €4.00, large (0.5 L) €6.00. Small Coke (0.2 L) for €3.50. Overall, L'Osteria is highly recommended! The ambiance is also good.

Unkind and rather unfriendly. A shame, actually a great Italian restaurant in downtown Düsseldorf. Ideal for outdoor seating in the summer. Unfortunately, the service is extremely taciturn. The menu is old, tattered, and corrections were made with a pen. This seems unkind and unprofessional. The food was okay. A little lacking in salt, and the meat was way overcooked. The pizza was delicious. But the prices were okay overall. I wouldn't go here again.

The staff were nice and friendly. The lasagna was okay, nothing special. The tortelloni with Gorgonzola and walnuts was tasty, but a bit overpriced at €15 for seven pieces. Otherwise, everything was fine.

We were here for the first time yesterday and were very satisfied overall. The food was consistently delicious, and the service was friendly and prompt. Only the chairs on the outdoor terrace were a bit uncomfortable and hard. But that didn't spoil the overall impression. We'll be back.

We had dinner here on Sunday evening, the lasagna was extremely delicious, Aperol is definitely in my top 3 in Düsseldorf, the service is very fast) we will visit here more than once

The waitress was very kind, and the veggie pizza was delicious. We loved the atmosphere. I’d love to come again and try different dishes. 👌

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed... The staff were unfortunately unfriendly and very impatient. A total stress factor! Nevertheless, the food was okay. Even though the dishes were cleared from the table very quickly, which made us want to leave. All in all, go somewhere else!

I already know L'Osteria and their massively large pizzas from other cities. Unfortunately, when I received the pizza with friends (raving about this pizza) after ordering, I was disappointed. For the price there was still a "normal" size, and the covering was also sparse. Ingredients were not "fresh" but dried (mushrooms). The atmosphere was mixed, but the toilets are underground and you walk past some camps. Terrible. Only the waiter, an older gentleman, was extremely nice and very accommodating and warm. This person alone didn't make the restaurant visit a disaster - but I wouldn't dine there again.

Very, very dear employees. Very attentive and accommodating. The taste of the food was perfect. Gladly again :-)

We enjoyed it very much, the portions were just right, the service was great, very, very friendly staff

Were not served and other guests who were there before us got something immediately.

We were asked by the waitress not to order pizza as it would take a long time (>1 hour). Then we ordered pasta and other guests after us ordered pizza. We got the pasta after an hour and the other guests got the pizza before us.

A good choice for us on Saturday afternoon. In the old town in a small side street in a very quiet location. Great taste, very attentive service, the price/performance package was right.

Food is delicious, I would rate the portion as a children's plate. Price/performance doesn't fit. The only thing the waiter said about the criticism was "...I'll pass it on...", which for me was clearly an expression of "I don't care". Two stars really just because it was delicious.

Terrible! Ordered 1x tuna and 1x Parma pizza. After waiting for 30 minutes, the big surprise was that we were given 2x Parma 🤗 I kindly pointed out that we ordered 1x tuna and 1x Parma and not 2x the same pizza! There was just a stupid saying, "Yes, you can eat that" and then "I'll make new ones, let me know." My girlfriend had already eaten and after 30 minutes my real pizza arrived. Outrageous! Both taste really bad. Thin dough and ingredients simply slapped on top. For almost €15.00 the pizza is a disgrace. First wrong drinks, then wrong pizza, then get cheeky. The bad thing in the end was that instead of the correct order, we were charged the wrong order, including a tip surcharge! Please support the family businesses in Düsseldorf and not these inattentive and cheeky people at the Losteria in Düsseldorf's old town. Never never again!!!!!

The service is horrible! The server last placed coffees on the table corner, for us to reach out to, asked us to pay immediately and 2 espresso being 6eur, he didn't want to accept a card, saying it's too low to put on the card. Overall terrible experience, don't come here.

A traditional, lively Osteria with delicious food and reasonable price-performance ratios. Fast and friendly service.

Unfortunately, I discovered that it wasn't completely clean On the ceiling, however, there are cobwebs under the ceiling Red mold can be seen on the ceiling in the men's toilet Very dangerous for health

We came across this shop while strolling around. The food was terrific and the waiter Toni made our evening even sweeter. A person with a big heart. The store is recommended.

The food was really good and the waiter was old school; Service is at the top.

Great food, small and delicious.

Attentive service Good food, with still room for improvement Prices are okay for the great location

Very tasty, nice service, I can only recommend it

I ordered a Vitello Tonnato but it was out! Then I ordered a carpaccio! The one from Lidl in the Italian week is 10 times better! It didn't taste good at all! I wanted to impress a Turkish colleague and was just ashamed! Then we ordered two pizzas! Pizza tonno and pizza parma! The Tonno was burnt and the Parma ham and Parmesan cheese tasted like the soles of your feet! Waiter seemed very dissatisfied with the job! I'm Italian and we don't even sell such bad food on the street!

Nice, attentive service - family atmosphere and good food. And all of this in the old town. See you next time.

The pizza is very good! One of the few pizzerias that have good pizzas in terms of dough and toppings. The service is friendly and quick. The food comes quickly.

Pizza with salmon and spinach was tasty, spaghetti vongole ok. Aperitif was paid for separately, not stated on receipt.

Friendly, helpful service, very tasty weekly menu, nice atmosphere especially upstairs, good and central location in the old town. We would be happy to come back.

Food very tasty and portion size appropriate. Service very good and very nice. Prices ok, like in most restaurants these days

Very unfriendly staff. And it was very awkwardly quiet inside like we were not supposed to talk

Very nice staff, good food at a reasonable price.

Restaurante italiano promedio en la ciudad. Spagetti pomodoro era agradable, pero la pizza vegetariana estaba por debajo de la media. Este lugar parece una trampa turística no un buen restaurante local en Oldstadt. Todo era normal. El costo también.

Good price-quality ratio. Very friendly staff. Definitely recommended

I loved the food, service and atmosphere

The food didn't taste good at all and for the price, I expected something tasty. The pizza was very small and tasted like a frozen pizza. Service and ambience were fine.

Very tasty food, friendly service, I can confidently recommend it

We were warmly welcomed, served very well and had a really delicious meal. First we got a small free appetizer on the house. We ate them comfortably and then our dinner came shortly afterwards. I had the liver with mashed potatoes and my wife had porcini mushroom ravioli. The portions weren't large, but the prices were moderate for Düsseldorf and the food was really delicious. If we are in Düsseldorf again, we will definitely eat there again. You immediately feel at home there and have the impression that you have been a regular customer here for years. Once again a big compliment to the gentleman who was responsible for us and served us. I don't know if it was the boss himself, but that's how it should be.

Visitado dos veces por semana, excelente servicio al cliente, la comida era muy buena. Espagueti vongole y pasta de salmón era genial. Tuve que volver para que el marido pudiera tener el vongole de nuevo. Tuve el penne de pollo, porción enorme, súper sabroso. Buenos vinos y no demasiado caros. Sin duda recomendaría

Very friendly staff and great food.

No long waiting times, a nice atmosphere in summer and you can't complain about the prices.

Really great pasta and great service. Loved it🫶

Very nice and attentive service. Would love to come back

The noodles were very good, the tiramusu was mediocre

This is by far the worst pizza I had in my life. It was burnt, greasy, and just plain awful. Don't make the mistake of going here. When I went by the place was almost empty and sadly I learned why - the hard way. The service was OK-ish.

A solid and down-to-earth Italian restaurant. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the food came to the table very quickly despite the large number of visitors and the taste and quality were absolutely fine. The prices are mostly fair too.

Don't mistake this for LOsteria, this is a cheap place with mediocre food and warm beer. The guy serving us didnt seem to enjoy his time here. Pizza was 3.5/5 but the spaghetti was 1.5/5.

The food was good, but the service and the friendliness of the staff fell by the wayside. We should wait at the counter for a free table. We weren't served here and when nothing else happened, we sat down at a free table ourselves. After 30 minutes we at least had our drinks, the food took over an hour. This is difficult with 2 children. The bill came after three requests. Guests who had been waiting for a long time were literally shouted at when they asked for a table. I understand that everything takes a little longer when there is a lot going on, but then it would be nice if you could at least recognize that an effort is being made. We felt more like a nuisance. At times there was no staff to be seen, neither behind the counter nor in the dining room on the ground floor. We certainly won't be coming back. Too bad L'Osteria. You can do that better in other restaurants.

Italian restaurant located right in the middle of the old town with delicious, delicious food and fabulous service.

Food very very average. The Vitello Tonnato was one of the worst I have ever eaten in Düsseldorf - slightly too salty. The waiter seemed listless. Unfortunately, the surrounding Italian restaurants were full. No repeat!

Pathetic attitude of the staff, so unfriendly that they don't even want to recommend any dishes or understand your taste. Looks like they are forced to work there and run here and there like a headless chicken without accomplishing much. Food was not upto the mark and the portions are very small compared to the price. Not recommended at all!

Was here spontaneously with my girlfriend. Unfortunately I made a mistake with the toppings for my pizza, but I asked very kindly if it was still okay. So I was able to enjoy a different taste that also completely convinced me. This is definitely how it will be remembered! Worth a recommendation.

Nice Italian restaurant in the city center with a cozy outdoor terrace. The staff is helpful and was very patient with the selection. Drinks were consumed quickly and quickly. The food was brought warm. There is a bit more meat on the noodles, so a star may be deducted but otherwise the dishes were great

It was very tasty. The steak was on point and the liver is recommended.

Pretty sad reception! Mind you the store was completely empty. Employees aren't really friendly and they don't really want to work. Price performance exaggerated… Zero love in the food, everything seasoned without salt and pepper. Pizza way too small. Unfortunately the beer was stale... I'll never eat there again! Not recommended!!!

Service is great, but for the price the portions are very small and you go home hungry. There is nothing wrong with the taste. When choosing, it's better to go somewhere else!

Food was okay, the waiter was overwhelmed (it took forever to take the order, drinks that were not ordered were shown on the bill), the ambience is rather mediocre. We will probably leave it at just one visit to the restaurant.

A wonderful restaurant, top food & service, we will definitely come back! Highly recommended!

Despite the grumpy gray waiter, we were happy with the quick bite. Furthermore, do not pay attention to the partly inhospitable. Regular customers are embraced and kissed. For us, it didn't diminish the reasonable food. But next time: nada.

Sehr empfehlenswert. Zentral gelegen mit super Küche und aufmerksamer freundlicher Bedingung. Preisleistungstechnisch richtig gut mit guter Qualität der Gerichte.

The food is delicious. I can only give service 3 points. It takes forever or not at all for someone to come to the table. We had to go in to order more drinks, even though there were only three tables occupied and there wasn't much to do.

Food, service and ambience were all ok. Food was quite good, but only worth 3 stars for the price. 😊 With so much choice in the old town, we'd rather go somewhere else next time. 😇

The dishes are a bit bland and feel unseasoned. Canned mushrooms are used. However, the cappucino is a disgrace: way too hot, totally thin and tastes like Senseo. That was not good :-(

We ate pizza funghi and caprese salad here and thought it was good. As a starter we got bread with dip..

Above all, very nice and friendly service. Clean. Fast service. In our case. Good and tasty 😋 food. Price performance is in proportion. Would love to come back. Thanks.

We sat down because we wanted to drink coffee but were then sent away because you are “only allowed to eat”. There were people sitting next to us who had just ordered something to drink. Outrageous.

Incredibly rude service here. We walked through the cozy streets of the old town. Around 5 p.m. we had the idea to go to a terrace before having dinner. We end up on the terrace of this restaurant. Very rudely and quickly, the waiter whipped 3 menus onto the table, without asking anything. When he came by after 20 minutes to ask what we wanted, we placed our drink order. That was like a red rag to a bull! The waiter barked at our table: "nur essen, nicht trinken" and grabbed the menus back from the table, turned around and walked away. Speaking to your customers in this way is simply not done. If I could, I would give *ZERO* stars here.

Food was good, portions were a bit small. Staff were very friendly.

We were at the restaurant around 1:30 p.m. Unfortunately, we were ignored by the service staff in a very unfriendly manner for over 20 minutes and were therefore unable to order anything or try the food. When we noticed that the waiters were sending away more guests because the kitchen was apparently closing soon, we left. Unfortunately, the two rather arrogant-seeming waiters didn't tell us this.

By far the worst service. You have to know that you can only eat here. Drinking just one drink is not allowed. I couldn't believe it, but drinks are only possible with food.

Yummy! The prices are really extremely high!

There was just food, hence the one star. The food was quite fatty and hardly seasoned. In addition, the prices are very high for such low quality. The waiter was rude and took both cards after ordering the starter and didn't ask if everything was okay. In the women's toilet, the smoke detector hangs from the ceiling on cables. Very questionable.

The food and service were very good, well located, beer was very good and the fish was also excellent and well prepared.

Absolutely unfriendly service. I have never experienced something like that.

I'll give you a moment to guess how expensive my portion (the plate in the picture below) was... No lie, 15€. For 6 tortelloni, €15. I was shocked, to say the least. I was hoping that they would at least taste like 15€, because if they're that expensive they must be damn tasty, right? Or?? Puppy cake. Just sad. The waiter who served our table that day just ran off randomly while I was asking a question to talk to other customers and then came back 5 minutes later, even though we were actually ordering. I have no idea, so I wanted to put it right with “Yes, it’s a big city, everything is even more expensive.” But I’ll never forget the look in my girlfriend’s face when we saw my portion size.

Hair and flies in your food are not acceptable. Just got a grappa sad beautifully located

Food was below 0815. Not worth the money. The toilets are inhumane and unusable. If the toilets are so dirty, what does the kitchen look like?!

It was tasty, but I personally felt it lacked a bit of polish in terms of taste. But of course everyone has different tastes. The waiters are top! We sat on the side of the alley and it was absolutely beautiful! The chairs, on the other hand, were unfortunately uncomfortable on the back. (Complaining at a high level 😉)

I was there with my girlfriend and when we said that we would just have a drink in the sunny weather, the older man immediately changed his attitude and behavior towards us. If you don't know what the customers want to order, you don't leave the starter there and then take it away with this behavior.

Food was normal 05/10. The toilet isn't that dirty

bad service. According to the old waiter, it's forbidden to have a drink in the place without ordering food immediately. You have to leave in the same moment. What an arrogance. There are plenty of good alternatives in Düsseldorf.

I've been twice. I liked the food both times. The seafood soup is amazing. The liver is just as tasty. The waiters are a little tired. And overall everything is fine. We were especially surprised by the prices: for the very center of the city - below average.

Disappointing family visit to the Italian restaurant We visited an Italian restaurant yesterday and were unfortunately quite disappointed with how family-friendly it was. Firstly, the food was just average - "so-so", as they say. There were no real flavor highlights that we would remember. What struck us as particularly negative, however, was the lack of facilities and consideration for families with small children. There was no children's menu, which made ordering difficult for our little ones. What was even more problematic was that there was no high chair available. Not only did this make our meal uncomfortable, but it also made us feel like children aren't really welcome here. Unfortunately, this restaurant is not recommended for a family evening as it is obviously not geared towards the needs of families with small children. I hope the management takes this feedback into account and improves the situation in order to be able to offer families a nice dining experience. In its current form we can unfortunately only give 2 stars.

This restaurant is and remains my favorite in the old town. I've been going here for years, the experienced waiter has been there for years and always looks after his guests 👌🏼

Friendly waiters, unfortunately the food was so-so. Since we sat outside the food could have been hotter, but it got cold too quickly. It wasn't anything special, but it wasn't inedible either. I would rather go to a different restaurant next time I visit Düsseldorf.

I just wanted to have an Aperol Spritz and coffee with my girlfriend in the nice weather. We were then sent away in a somewhat unfriendly manner by an older gentleman. It can be stressful as a waiter, but you don't have to allow yourself to become unfriendly.

I eat there with my girlfriend. We each had a Lassange, which was very tasty. The service was really friendly. It's like in every restaurant that the portions have become smaller, but the price-performance ratio is right. We've had different experiences. We will be back.

I already know L'Osteria and their massively large pizzas from other cities. Unfortunately, when I received the pizza with friends (raving about this pizza) after ordering, I was disappointed. For the price there was still a "normal" size, and the covering was also sparse. Ingredients were not "fresh" but dried (mushrooms). The atmosphere was mixed, but the toilets are underground and you walk past some camps. Terrible. Only the waiter, an older gentleman, was extremely nice and very accommodating and warm. This person alone didn't make the restaurant visit a disaster - but I wouldn't dine there again.

Absolutely unfriendly and racist store.

Very nice to sit down and also good to take with you

The food was okay, but nothing more. The portion of chicken breast with potatoes was very small and not particularly good. The pizza was ok, just a bit too much garlic. The ambience is okay, only the toilets could be cleaner and the path there is also lined with dirt and disorder. The prices are too high for what is offered.

The food is always very tasty. There are also many little things that make the visit pleasant: the food always comes to everyone at the table at the same time, there is bread in advance and you also get to hear one or two anecdotes. Can slow down well here.

The food came burnt but we didn't see it until we got home. We took photos, tried calling and also wrote emails. We never received an answer.

Had a drink on the spot. Drinking was only allowed outside what was understandable, but does that have to be said so gruffly? A little friendlier is better, after all it is the tone that makes the music!

Delicious food, friendly staff.

De smaak vind ik niet zo lekkker, jammer. En de pizza hier is ook niet zo groot zoals de andere L'Osteria waar ik geweest bent.

We hadden beter eerst wat reviews kunnen lezen. Mensen waren best wel vriendelijk maar daar had je alles mee gezegd. Het eten was echt slecht. We waren met 4 personen. Allemaal wat anders genomen. Nergens zat smaak aan. We hebben allemaal de helft van het eten laten staan. We zagen het bij meerdere mensen. Op de factuur stonden dingen die we niet eens genuttigd hadden. Bij navraag werd ons verteld dat dat normaal is en dat ze gewoon prijzen hanteren!

Sehr gute Qualität, gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, schneller und freundlicher Service. Wir haben das Restaurant als positive Entdeckung verbucht.

Eten is prima, sfeer is echt verschrikkelijk je hebt het gevoel dat je moet haasten met eten. Personeel onbeleefd en bot. Eerst en de laatste keer dat ik hier heb gegeten.

Wir kamen um 17 Uhr mit Kinderwagen und wurden mit den Worten, es gäbe keinen Platz für einen Kinderwagen und wir sollten im La Grappa nach Plätzen fragen, abgewiesen. Dort war mehr los und wirklich wenig Platz für einen Kinderwagen. Wir sind dann in ein Restaurant gegangen, bei denen Familien mit Kindern willkommen sind.

Tja dat viel tegen bij mij, volgens mij was er weinig vers op mijn bord. Alleen het voorgerecht was lekker.
