Lust auf Italien (LAI) in Hamburg

Incredibly great service. Warmest welcome and great food. It was an evening like you would expect in a restaurant. Thank you for that!!! We'll be back!

Delicious food, super nice Italian atmosphere and the greatest service!!! Always my pleasure

We were in Hamburg at Easter and had a very good meal at "Lust auf Italien" and immediately became repeat customers. Chic atmosphere, very good food and friendliness that is lived👍👍 Limoncello and grappa were served 🫶 We'll come back and hand out your business cards 👍👍🫶🫶

We were here on New Year's Eve...maybe on the wrong day. There was chaos, it was restless and extremely loud - like in a train station hall. Unfortunately the food came cold and not at all. Some of us had to eat alone. Because the food was cold, it cannot be properly assessed in terms of taste.

Yesterday we spontaneously picked up two pizzas to take away. They were small and not good. Cheap ingredients are immediately recognizable (salami, canned mushrooms...). I know at least three frozen food manufacturers that produce significantly better quality. It's a waste of money, even if it's not expensive. Luckily I don't have to go back.

The food was good but for that price....Mmmm maybe we expect more? It was yummy tho. The service is pretty standard. Not particularly great or friendly. We were kinda rushed into ordering food..which wasn't really nice. The setting is pretty normal. Nothing fancy about it.

Awesome shop! Everyone was nice! We were super, super satisfied! ❤️❤️❤️

Great, rustic restaurant. I ate a pizza, excellent!!

Delicious food. Fair prices. Responsive staff.

Pizza was incredibly tasty and the service was courteous. Gladly again and warm recommendation

Class! Super delicious, open kitchen, great staff, loud-colorful-rustic-Italian atmosphere, great prices… We got a table very quickly on a Saturday evening without prior reservation. I would love to come again!

We were there with our entire handball team. The food was really tasty. From pizza to pasta to fish platters. The grappa at the end rounded off the pleasant stay. If we're in HH again, we'd love to come back!

A quick few noodles for dinner and tiramisu. It was worth it. Great service.

Still as always - top quality and the special desire for Italian charm. I love it!

Netter Service und das Essen kam lecker und zeitgleich auf den Tisch. Besonders lecker der gegrillte Thunfisch. Ein empfehlenswerter Laden mit normalen Preisen.

We were warmly welcomed last night and had a very good meal with a great team. Anyone who would like to experience the warmth and hospitality of Italy will be very pleasantly surprised here. We came based on a recommendation and are happy to pass it on. You can eat very well and have a great time here. We would be happy to come back on our next visit to Hamburg.

Great food, friendly service, thank you very much

Thanks for taking the photo. Food and service were good

Cozy restaurant with a nice charm. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I'd love to come back!

Italian restaurant with delicious typical Italian delicacies, run by Italians and not like some restaurants run by Albanian people who in any case have nothing to do with Italy, I was able to taste excellent typical products of my country

The food was very tasty, the atmosphere is cozy and the staff is nice and accommodating. Gladly again

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Simply fantastic! The food was not only delicious, but also fresh and served in generous portions. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very inviting and the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. I'm already looking forward to my next visit - highly recommended!

Fast food with big names. We were there on New Year's Eve around 3:00 p.m. Ambience, rustic. The food we ordered came very quickly. Bolognese without minced meat, just tomato sauce. Pizza topped very sparingly. Lasagna tasteless and portions far too small. Never again !!!!!!!!!

We were shocked at the poor quality of the food. Lasagne is old, Bolognese sauce can hardly be found on the noodles. Pizza toppings very clear. Staff a bit reluctant - New Year's Eve?

Here again after a year and always warmly welcomed. The food is always first class. Thanks until next time.

War sehr lecker. Die Bedienung ist sehr nett gewesen und der Chef ist ein ganz lieber man. Neben bei noch gute Musik und der abend war sehr schön

Food was super tasty. Service was also good, see humorous. Unfortunately it was a bit loud... but all in all it was great

I spent a wonderful evening here with my friends, it tasted delicious, we were served very well and we all enjoyed it. You can eat here more often!

Mr. André really impressed us with his service. Restaurant with a relaxed, very friendly atmosphere. The food was very tasty and arrived quickly. The 1kg prawns for two people with a bottle of wine were/are phenomenal. The broth is a dream and invites you to dip bread. We'll definitely be back.

Great restaurant. Delicious. Staff super friendly and attentive.

A good place for an Italian lunch. Good pizza at a good price

Always worth a visit. I had spaghetti frutti di mare. I eat this a lot at Italian restaurants. But I've never eaten it so deliciously. Really great ingredients. Normal prices. The other food that was served also looked very appetizing and tasty. Staff great. Always happy. Highly recommended.

Super delicious. Dish of the day, shrimp, simply yummy. The ambience is let's say simple and surprising, but nice. Service was top.

Unfortunately you have slacked off so much. The food had almost no spices. What happened to the pizza? It tastes different....:(

Antipasti, pasta and fish platters are sensational, the wines are excellent and the service is friendly. The two of us have often been here for dinner after a long walk along the Elbe. Now I celebrated my birthday there with 21 guests - a fantastic evening, everyone happy!

The food tasted very good but the staff was also very, very nice!

Always beautiful!!! Delicious food!!! Super nice staff!!!

If you want to eat really good food, this is the place for you. The highlight of the day is absolutely recommended. Always my pleasure.

A must for every visit to Hamburg. Price/performance ratio is right. Always great!!! Staff top!!!!

Today I ate there for the 3rd time this week because I like it there. (Lunch) However, about an hour after eating I got a stomach ache etc. and I had to cancel the rest of the working day today. Now after a few hours I'm feeling a little better but I'm not taking the risk again. Maybe it was because I hadn't eaten anything for a long time and the food was very oily. However, I still feel sick. It's a shame, because I liked the taste of it

We had the best night. The service was exceptional. We stayed much longer than planned.

Super nice evening with great food, good wine and great hosts!

It was a very tasty pizza, we were thrilled! Very nice service, extremely competent and Italian cuisine, stocked with Italians! 😄😄 Great 👍

Die besten Spaghetti Aglio Olio Peperoncino die ich je hatte👍🏻Sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Toller Start für unsere Kreuzfahrt! Sollten wir mal wieder in Hamburg sein, werden wir vorbeischauen!

best spagetti garlic oil chilli pepper ever💪😘

I can recommend great food and great staff to everyone.

Went to dinner with the Ducati Club Hamburg and were thrilled. Friendly staff and good food

Calamaretti - it couldn't be better!!

Very friendly service, nice atmosphere and great food. The scampi special and the fish platter for two people were super tasty and the portions were so big that we couldn't quite finish it. There was also limoncello and grappa on the house. Always happy and absolute recommendation!

Favorite Italian! No matter whether it's fish or meat dishes, the chefs have it all! Also first-class, calm service, good wine, great value for money. I've never eaten anything here that I wouldn't have liked to order again.

Für mich und meine Eltern einer der besten Italiener Hamburgs! Ein wirklich sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Unsere persönliche Empfehlung sind die „ Garnelen alla Maserati“ - einfach unschlagbar!!! Eine super lockere und angenehme Stimmung dort. Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert ;)

Sorry.. but for this quality there are a maximum of two stars.. I can't understand why the pizza and the pasta were so bad.....

The mixed fish platter is awesome!! And we received great service from the owner Ruben. Grace 😃

Anyone looking for an authentic yet exquisite culinary experience should not miss this gem. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and can fully recommend this restaurant.

Highly recommended! If you like authentic Italian food, this is the place for you. The prices are reasonable, short waiting times and friendly service.

Very good Italian with very good food. Fish, pasta were perfect. The service is very courteous and friendly. Very nice restaurant.

Super tasty pizzas, We had a pizza Prusciuto di Parma and a pizza Milano. Price performance top.

Very nice service and We enjoyed the food very much. We'd love to come back.🫶🏽☺️

I've enjoyed coming here again and again over the last few years. Unfortunately, I discovered today that things are deliberately being billed incorrectly when invoicing. A Margherita pizza was ordered with rocket and parmesan as additional toppings. A Prosciutto di Parma pizza was charged. Sorry, that doesn't work at all. So today was unfortunately the last time we were in the mood for Italy. Very unfortunate.

Unfortunately, the restaurant didn't really convince me. The pizza was okay, but you can get it much tastier elsewhere in Hamburg. One waiter was very nice, the other was more reserved. Desert and espresso were good, but overall not a clear recommendation.

Everything is right here! A culinary highlight at the Hamburg fish market that should not be missed!

LAI in Hamburg is a top recommendation in every respect. Great food, freshly prepared and service that leaves nothing to be desired. Very authentic restaurant and always worth a visit!

Best Italian on the harbor promenade. Cheap and still super fresh 💜

A very nice team (also very dog-friendly) happily serves a menu that is unparalleled in Hamburg in terms of freshness and price/performance!

Delicious typical Italian food in a somewhat spartan atmosphere, but somehow appropriate. Simply delicious ☺️. We pre-ordered for a larger group and everything was implemented the way we wanted!

The best of the best. Always my pleasure. I love it.

Great food and super-friendly service... we'll definitely come back!

Changing lunch menu with delicious pizza, pasta, fish and meat dishes. In addition, a large menu that leaves nothing to be desired. Price wise OK Fast and attentive service.

Heute Abend war ich bei "der andere" (sehr grosse) Italiener an die Große Elbstraße (ja, die mit die Grösste pizza's der Welt). Nach mehr als eine halbe Stunde gab es da noch immer keine Bedienung für Aufnahme erstes Getränk und bin ich gegangen. 200m weiter zur Lust auf Italien. Das Wetter war herrlich und damit konnte ich draussen sitzen. Die Pizza war nicht die grösste der Welt (was ohnehin nicht sehr nachhaltig ist) und es gab auch kein Elbblick oder Design Möbel im Innenbereich. Dafür gab es ein sehr freundliche Bedienung und mein Hauptgericht war innerhalb 15 Minuten auf meinen Tisch. Geschmack und Bereitung waren sehr gut und die Atmosphere auf die Terrasse hat eingeladen um noch eine dritte Pinot Grigio zu trinken. Auf die zweite Limoncello die von das Haus angeboten wurde, habe ich dann verzichtet. Wer Eindruck machen will auf Freund(inn)en: geh gerne zum "anderen Italiener". Wer lecker un gemütlich essen möchte in eine Atmosphere die zwar einfach ist aber viel mehr "Italien" atmet, mit eine Bedienung die sich Mühe gibt, kann ich es nur empfehlen.

We went there for lunch with the team last week. Four of us ordered cod fillet and to be honest it was so bad that I didn't eat any of it. It was lunch, but how a very delicate fish could be cooked to death like that is a mystery to me. It was so cooked that it couldn't even be cut with a knife. The broccoli was mushy and the whole thing was swimming in olive oil. When asked, I responded accordingly. Immediately, I have to praise it at this point, I was offered a replacement. But I was no longer hungry (which the friendly waiter, like the fish, couldn't help). Since I refused the replacement, the manager came, which wasn't all that pleasant, and claimed that he had already had 40 portions of the same day sold the same fish and for him it was completely ok, and it was lunch (do you have to put up with bad food?), the vegetables were good and no one apart from me had complained. All I can say is that if that's okay for a restaurateur, you should generally refrain from eating your food! To save the restaurant's honor, it must be mentioned that the pasta was apparently ok - so stay away from the fish! Hello Mr. Lagona, I haven't messed around with nieces, neither to you nor to your waiter! I calmly explained to him and to you that this is NOT good food. And I simply don't care how much of it you sold before. What was on my plate and on the plates of my team members was simply poorly cooked fish, and VERY poorly cooked fish. Your statement that it's okay disqualifies you in my eyes. I give you and your staff credit for offering substitutions, but to call this food OK is just unbelievable! I can NOT recommend your restaurant! And don't worry: you've definitely lost me as a customer. If you want to go out for a good meal yourself, just scroll through my reviews, there are some very good restaurants there! Your personal attacks don't change the fact that your fish was poorly prepared and NONE of my colleagues liked the dish! But of course it's much easier to be abusive on a personal level than to cook good fish...

Everything is great, the tuna is luxurious🙋🙋🙋

Verry friendly people with taste meal and good beer. We recommend to meet this place.

Food tastes good. Great staff, very attentive and funny. I'd love to come back😁

Excellent food at fair prices. Friendly employees and the rustic ambience round off the great overall impression. We will be back definitely!

Rustic interior & great food - the fish platter is particularly recommended

As an Italian, I always enjoy eating here because the cooking is original Italian. Extra requests will be gladly fulfilled. I really like the rustic atmosphere. All employees are very friendly.

Nice Italian restaurant. Original Italian food, always delicious. Good value for money. Very friendly and courteous staff. We'd love to come back again and again!

We ate here twice and were very satisfied. The shrimp pan was very tasty, as was the saltimbocca and the seafood spaghetti 😋 The ambience may not be the biggest highlight, but it's okay. The operators are very friendly, attentive and the price-performance ratio is completely ok. A piece of Italian feeling in the middle of the fish market halls 🇮🇹

There were 8 of us there and everyone really enjoyed their dish. A warm welcome and the waiting time for a free table was shortened with Prosecco. Very original, very Italian. We will definitely come back and give a clear recommendation!

Excellent food and drink, top service, great fish.

Super nice staff, super delicious food, fast service. Price performance top. Would love to come back.

Ambience rustic but cozy! Had a delicious meal with 4 people today. Appetizer platter and fish dishes. Everything fine. Service is incredibly friendly, personable and uncomplicated. Thanks! We were there for the 2nd time today and will definitely be back.

Best Italian Hamburg Thank you Ruben.

this was an outstanding pizza and the tiramisu was divine. The best of both I've ever eaten🎉🪅

The best Italian restaurant in Hamburg 👊🏻🇮🇹

Here you can get a lot of scampi on your pasta👍🏻and otherwise the price-performance ratio is absolutely right. Definitely coming back!!

Very good Italian food at a reasonable price/performance ratio. The owner and employees are very courteous and friendly. We were there for the first time and felt very comfortable. We'll definitely come back.

It was very tasty and very good

What a beautiful evening! Super nice staff, delicious food and many kind regards to Vincenzo ☺️

Thanks to Vincenzo for the great service and very tasty pizzas

Again great food and super nice service! The fish platter was simply sensational!

Delicious food with good value for money. Funny and nice staff...Recommended

A very good Italian. The staff is authentic and very friendly. It's fun to stay there. You can eat everything there. 👍👍👍👍👍

Obviously a restaurant that has good and bad quality dishes. We were invited there for confirmation. We could choose between meat, fish and vegetarian. The meat eaters were satisfied, even if the presentation on the plate seemed rather bland. The salmon was dry and oily, the salad with no dressing to speak of - none. The risotto was more like rice soup, they should have given it back. A real shame! Starters and dessert were good.

Very tasty and freshly prepared food...and very friendly service. Top lunch menu...at very good prices.

Great food, wonderful service. A wonderful overall impression. We recommend!

Very good shop, everything was very tasty and great service

Very nice staff. Food is very good. The atmosphere and location is great.

Had dinner here with 9 people, the staff was very friendly. Thanks to Ruben for recommending the fish platter, simply awesome. FORZA Ruben

Great service, the food was delicious and fresh, offering a good variety of seafood dishes. With also nice Italian wine on the menu as a perfect accompaniment. Would definitely recommend dining here.
