Olivengarten in Mainz

Das Essen ist ok, Preis auch, ruhige Lage, gute Parkmöglichkeiten. Doch leider passt der Service nicht zu einem Restaurant. Unterirdisch wäre eigentlich zu nett beschrieben. Wir werden nicht wiederkommen. Schade drum.

Never again - wanted to eat there again after a long time. We specifically reserved a table outside. This was obviously given to "friends of the house" right before us. The manager very rudely directed us to a table in the far corner, with a direct "smell line" to the trash can, otherwise we would have to sit inside. When we pointed out that we had a reservation, he again very rudely and aggressively pointed out that there was a table there after all. We sat down there at first, but then we didn't want to deal with the smell of trash or the continued unfriendly treatment, so we got up to leave. The manager then loudly insulted us in front of all the guests. Too bad - but unfortunately, someone doesn't seem to feel the need to treat their paying guests decently. No more of us in the future.

Just discovered this place despite living nearby for four years. They offer really affordable (13.5 euro !) Lunch menus so I believe it will become my new canteen whenever I do not want to cook. The dishes were fairly proportionate with a good size main dish and very small starter and dessert (which makes perfectly sense at that price) Everything was tasty. The only issue I had is that they brought large drinks despite ordering small ones, and as everywhere in Germany drinks are overpriced. So I will probably only order food next times to avoid this mistake to rehappen.

No—the owner is so unfriendly and arrogant that we will never eat there again. We reserved a table, then stood in line for five minutes without any further attention. After that, the table was apparently already taken.

A cute italian restaurant in a residential area of Mainz. The service was quick and efficient. The food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable.

We were there with a few people. Every, but really every dish had to be made tasty by adding salt/pepper/Tabasco/chilli. How delicious the kitchen used to be; But that doesn't work anymore. It's a shame

Very tasty restaurant, very friendly staff, good value for money

Food was very good, service was quick and professional, Unfortunately for me the restaurant was completely full, but since I ordered take-away I was able to enjoy the food

Delicious Italian restaurant, friendly staff, good selection + daily menu. Highly recommended.

With the spaghetti with garlic oil, as in the menu, it's quite a challenge to say it's spicy! I like spicy food and it made me sweat. I don't know how it happened to others. The service is just "ironed on top" of the information given here by others. However, the espresso was great! The service gave the impression of being handled. Too bad!

Absolute tip for lunch because... daily changing menu offers. Very friendly service. Terrace in summer.

Telephone reservations don't work, you can't rely on them. The restaurant is not recommended

On my personal favorites list in summer. Nice casual atmosphere and good food too!

Very tasty, the service would actually be 6 stars. Very attentive.

Delicious food and good service. Always my pleasure.

If you want to eat well you have to go there. Perfect service and very friendly staff. Always happy again.

Absolutely not recommended: Unfriendly staff and disappointing service We were a group of 6 and waited over an hour for our food, while other tables that arrived well after us were served much quicker. After a while, when we politely asked if our food would be coming soon, an unfriendly waiter harshly told us that the food would come when it was ready and grumbled. After another 15 minutes we asked an older waiter again about our food, to which he responded very rudely and said he wouldn't ask in the kitchen because there was a lot to do and we were lucky they still had staff. The behavior of the staff was consistently disrespectful and it is obvious that this restaurant has no idea how to run a business. Absolutely not recommended!

It just has nothing to do with an “Italian”…. If you see it as a restaurant next to the sports field, it fits

Very tasty food, the olives taste excellent and the bread is very crunchy.

As always, very tasty, an insider tip in the upper town.

Food was good, a little hectic and loud due to a tennis tournament. Nice service

Here is the English translation of the review: --- **Rating: 1 Star** This was by far the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. We waited over an hour for our food, while the four tables around us—all of which arrived after us, even one that came half an hour later—received their food before us. When we asked the younger waiter with a beard to check on our food, he arrogantly replied that it was busy and there was nothing they could do. He didn’t even listen properly and just walked away without checking anything. So we asked the older waiter, but he was also extremely rude and clearly didn’t care at all. The food was okay, but if you want to be served by arrogant *jerks* (sorry for the bad word but it's true!), then this is the place for you. If it weren’t for the tennis association that often holds championships across the street, no one would know or come to this restaurant. There are so many other Italian restaurants that serve better food and offer proper service!!!

We were very disappointed. We have come here several times and the last few times have been better. This time we waited over an hour for the food. When asked, the response was aggressive, it just takes time. Around us, other guests had their food delivered earlier, even though they ordered after us. We were then told in a condescending tone that there were no more desserts, with no explanation. The boss was very unfriendly. After this experience, I can no longer recommend this restaurant. The pizza is also very subpar.

The waiters were nice, but didn't say a word too much. The food was good. The restaurant is located next to the tennis courts, the view isn't particularly spectacular, but the seating is still quite good.

Nice atmosphere. The service should be improved. Impersonal as a stranger Waiter was stressed. Fish dishes smell strong, not fresh. The other dishes are fresh and good.

You will always be welcomed and served in a very warm and familiar manner. The food is delicious in every way and consists of fresh, mostly seasonal ingredients. If you appreciate good Italian cuisine, this is the place to eat. In addition, there is a very fair price-performance ratio.

Freundliche Bedienung, Fischer ist sehr gut. Besonders zu empfehlen schwarze Tortellini und auch die Lasagne mit Lachs.

Very pleasant, nice and friendly service. Gladly again! I liked the food

Das Essen war sehr lecker, das Personal eben falls .Sehr schön eingerichtet viele nette Personen Zudem war es auch sehr ruhig.

Went there for lunch, the food was good but it was very crowded and loud in places. But we would be happy to come back. Service was very nice and attentive

Best pizza ever...!!! Always my pleasure!!!

Everything is good as always! Best pizza in town!

Nice location, good menu, also with great Riesling from the Rheingau. Nice service.

Everything was great, the best Italian in the area

Unfortunately disappointing. We came all the way from Frankfurt because of the good reviews and wanted a rehearsal dinner because we wanted to host a small family celebration there. The restaurant inside is very narrow and correspondingly loud with many guests. The terrace outside was dirty and there was rubbish/cardboard boxes between the tables. It hasn't been cleaned for a while. The food (pizza and pasta) was OK. Served hot, but nothing special in terms of taste. The most disappointing thing was the service. The boss gave us the feeling that he didn't care whether we wanted to celebrate with our family in his restaurant or not. He didn't inquire about our wishes at all, let alone talk to us after we were finished for further planning. None of this had anything to do with hospitality. We canceled our reservation after the visit.

Great location at the tennis court with its own parking spaces. Food is okay. Normal Italian cuisine.

Attentive staff, food very tasty, salad very fresh and aromatic. Meat prepared to perfection, vegan pizza very successful. I'd love to come back.

Recommended location. We go to the olive garden regularly and it always tastes very good. We are always warmly welcomed and the service is top notch.

Nothing special, not cheap, the only thing that's great is that there's a parking space right away. Nothing else from my side

I can only agree, excellent food and great service.

Very friendly service, good cuisine, inexpensive lunch menu.

Cozy and delicious. Price-performance ratio great and also perfriendly. I would happily recommend it!

It was our first time in the Olive Garden, but definitely not the last time. We ate pizza that absolutely met our expectations. The friendliness with which you are welcomed and served is top. Price/performance are reasonable.

Food was very tasty, service was great. Gladly again😊

Super nice and attentive staff. Very good and tasty dishes (homemade)!!! Nice to sit outside in summer.

It's a shame you can't give 10 stars! It doesn't get any better.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung, gutes Essen, sehr schöne Terrasse. Wir fühlen uns immer sehr wohl.

Super nice location. Can only recommend.

Whether business or private. We are always happy to be guests. :)

Leckere Pizza, Service war solide und das Ambiente ist ganz gut

Sehr nettes und hilfsbereiten Personal, gutes Essen und schöne, schattige Plätze.

Ruhige Terrasse, direkt am Tennisplatz.

Sehr gutes Essen und liebe Bedienung

Bei schönen Wetter, tolles Sitzen draußen, im grünen, so kommt es einem vor. Vom Essen, alles zu empfehlen und auch abwechslungsreiches mittagstisch Angebot, in allem weiter zu empfehlen.

Wir waren schon öfter hier zum Essen. Die Speisekarte ist nicht zu groß, die Tagesgerichte bieten auch immer Abwechslung. Das Essen ist frisch und geschmacklich sehr gut. Der Service zuvorkommend und freundlich. In unmittelbarer Nähe ist ein kleiner Spielplatz, so dass die Wartezeit für Kinder gut überbrückt werden kann. Kostenfreie Parkplätze sind vorhanden. Die Lautstärke ist tatsächlich etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig bei vielen Gästen. Eine Tischreservierung ist empfehlenswert. Für mobilitätseingeschränkte Personen könnte die Lage der Toilette im Keller und der dadurch zu benutzenden Treppe problematisch sein.

Leckerer Mittagstisch gut besucht

Mit bestimmten Einschränkungen kann man dieses Restaurant als gut betrachten. Der Service könnte freundlicher sein und das Ambiente ist auch nicht sehr ansprechend, da wenn das Restaurant voll ist, es leider sehr laut werden kann. Die Gerichte überzeugen nur wenn sie von der Tageskarte stammen. Ich rate jeden unbedingt nur Gerichte von der Tageskarte zu bestellen. Die Gerichte von der Tageskarte können wirklich gut überzeugen mit Qualität und Kreativität. Wenn die vorher angesprochenen Punkte besser wären würde ich auch einen Stern mehr geben. So halte ich ein Wiedersehen für unwahrscheinlich. Schade eigentlich.

Leckeres italienisches Essen, und guter Service. Ein Stern Abzug beim Ambiente, da der Tennisclub dort ansässig ist. Gerne wieder... 👍🏻

Ich hatte an dem Tag eine Pizza, sie war nicht so wie ich sie sonst kennen und darum nur 3 Sterne......komme aber gerne wieder......

Bester "Italiener" der Region, bitte macht so weiter!

Super Essen,netter Service und schöne Location.Immer wieder gerne!

Super leckeres Essen und unheimlich freundliche Kellner. Wir werden auf jeden Fall häufiger vorbei kommen.

Freundlich, lecker, bezahlbar - kein Wunder, dass es meistens schön voll ist. Reservieren.

Schönes italienisches Restaurant mit Außenbereich an den Tennisplätzen. Preislich etwas höher, dafür gute Qualität und Extrawünsche werden nach Möglichkeit erfüllt. Empfehlenswert!

Ein 2. Zuhause! Leckerer Mittagstisch!

Das Essen ist auf hohem Niveau, der Service aufmerksam und freundlich. Preise sind auf gehobenen Niveau, für das Gebotene okay. Der Zugang ist ebenerdig, die Toiletten aber im Keller, für Menschen mit Mobilitätseinschränkungen nicht optimal . Fazit: Immer einen Besuch wert

Essen ok, Personal und Betreiber aber leider sehr unfreundlich. Haben wirklich unangemessenes Verhalten gegenüber älteren Gästen mitbekommen.

Service sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Essen sehr gut. Immer wieder gerne!

Prima Essen mit gutem Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, sehr freundliche Bedienung auch Kindern gegenüber, alles tiptop und gerne wieder

Sehr großer Gastraum. Wir waren Sonntags zu Mittag dort. Unheimlich voll und laut. Nicht sehr gemütlich da alles eng bestuhlt war. Bedienung war sehr freundlich aber auch schnell wieder weg. Essen war ok, aber auch nicht herausragend. Die Dorade war sehr gut, auch die Spaghetti mit Lachs sind zu empfehlen. Preise etwas erhöht, aber ist ja alles teurer geworden. An einem Wochentag abends noch einmal versuchen, wenn es nicht so voll ist.

Wir waren zum ersten Mal und sicher auch nicht zum letzten Mal dort. Alle verzehrten Speisen waren frisch zubereitet und ansprechend angerichtet. Die Mitarbeiter waren freundlich und zuvorkommend. Auch auf Sonderwünsche wurde eingegangen. Leider wird es im Innenbereich etwas laut wenn das Restaurant voll besetzt ist, da nichts den Schall bricht. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist sehr gut.

Decent Italian place in Mainz. Not in the center though.

immer wieder top, lecker, freundlich und frisch

Leckeres Essen, nette Bedienung, angemessene Preisgestaltung - empfehlenswert.

Einmal "quer durch die Karte", einmal Tagesmenü, zweimal a la Card. Mittagessen mit drei Personen. Es war einfach lecker! Auch der Service war nett, zuvorkommend und freundlich, zusammengefasst: Einfach gut! Ich kann das Ristorante Olivengarten in Mainz nur empfehlen. Danke sehr!
