Osteria in Bremen

Heute bin ich angekommen — in einem italienischen Restaurant, das verstanden hat, wie Italien wirklich schmeckt. Endlich eine Carbonara, wie Mama Italia sie versteht, und nicht wie man glaubt, dass der deutsche Gast sie gerne hätte. Der Koch brachte persönlich den italienischen Schinken an den Tisch, voller Stolz und echter Leidenschaft. Die Spaghetti Vongole: ein Traum. Der Lugana: schmeckt nach Italien. Und die Bedienung aus Rimini? Italienische Herzlichkeit pur. Man fühlt sich nicht bedient — man fühlt sich willkommen. Hier wird Italien nicht gespielt, hier wird es gelebt. Mehr als fünf Sterne. Danke für diesen wunderbaren Tag.

Ich war an zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Abenden dort. Obwohl ich nicht reserviert hatte, wurde ich problemlos aufgenommen. Das Essen war hervorragend. An beiden Abenden hatte ich die Fischsuppe. Sie war herzhaft, sättigend und einfach köstlich. Auch die Gnocchi waren sehr sättigend. Die Portionen waren großzügig und am besten zum Teilen geeignet, es sei denn, man ist extrem hungrig.

Die Pizza ist gut und wird schnell serviert, aber alles ist ziemlich vorhersehbar und unspektakulär. Die Atmosphäre ist lebhaft, daher ist es nicht ideal für ein ruhiges Essen.

Wir waren am 11.04.2026 mit 6 Personen dort und es war wirklich grossartig. Essen sehr lecker, Service ausgesprochen nett und aufmerksam, ein italienisches Ständchen für einen Gast der Geburtstag hatte. Der sehr nette Chef gab am Ende eine Einführung in die Zubereitung einer Zabaione. Das hatte alles italienisches Flair. Grossartig.

Seeehr freundlicher Empfang, aufmerksamer Service, leckere italienische Küche. Empfehlung!

Die Fischsuppe war ein wahrer Genuss! Herzlichen Dank an Savino und das gesamte Team für die Gastfreundschaft. Das Essen war rundum hervorragend.

Das Essen ist ausgezeichnet, ebenso der Service. Für Italiener ist es ein Stück Heimat in Deutschland.

Es war, wie immer, ein toller Abend. Der Fisch Safransauce war perfekt zubereitet und die Jakobsmuscheln vorzüglich. Der Service war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. 😇

"Da gibt es ja gar keine Pizza!" Nein, gibt es nicht, dafür aber die beste und authentischste italienische Küche weit und breit und einen sehr herzlichen Gastgeber. Jederzeit gerne wieder!

Jetzt haben wir auch mal in Bremen das Osteria besucht. Überrascht waren wir, dass es hier keine Pizzen im Angebot gibt. So hatten wir die Möglichkeit, andere leckere Gerichte zu genießen. Gute Lage an der Schlachte.

Top 3 in Bremen – a truly Italian family-run restaurant. Fantastic, authentic food – from grilled sea bream/turbine to spaghetti with prawns, ossobuco, and zabaglione – simply divine. If you're lucky, the owner might even sing in the kitchen; the entire team is incredibly friendly, warm, and attentive.

The pasta was a little too soft, but otherwise very tasty. Service was good, but they could have asked more often if we wanted more drinks after the meal. The atmosphere was very charming and rustic, a bit like being in Italy. You should always reserve a table; for larger groups, reservations are only possible via email, not online or by phone, but this wasn't a problem at all.

Food and atmosphere was excellent at a reasonable price. The gnocchi was awesome

I actually wanted to show my dear wife Bremen's city center in the bright sunshine. There was a fantastic, colorful "Bremen Freimarkt parade" in typical North German weather. With a bit of imagination, some of the techno floats almost gave us a little "Love Parade" feeling... Now, quickly warm up and eat something hot! In our familiar Berlin, there would be at least three to five kebab stands within sight in all four directions, plus the same number of currywurst options. In Bremen, we found this osteria around two and a half blocks away, not far from the banks of the Weser. An appealing Italian menu was offered even before we entered. Then: a warm welcome! Genuine joy! Good vibes! Tables festively set with white tablecloths, a pleasant warmth in the room, people passionately discussing things in three or four languages ​​(people live here), remarkably comfortable chairs. A natural, feel-good atmosphere – Italian indeed! Charming ladies who immediately took care of us with beaming joy. We quickly agreed, after receiving charming advice, "something nice and hot, healthy, not too rich" (we were still planning to explore the city). "Two fish soups, dry wine spritzer, water per favore – the food – after the delicious bread greeting from the kitchen – not only smelled excellent, it tasted just as good. We felt instantly better, we could have something sweet to finish it off. So "one creme brulee with two spoons" with espresso, of course. Where can you possibly stop time here? Last but not least, I left my gloves on the chair next to me. Already on the highway, it was Patrycja on the phone again, who immediately told me: "Yes, we found them. Of course we'll mail them to you." – wow, once again deeply impressed and pleasantly surprised. A real recommendation to the rest of the Google world -> food, service, atmosphere = top!!! We'll definitely be back when we're in Bremen. Mille grazie!

Top-notch restaurant with the best Italian food! Family-run, the owner and his wife are at the open grill/oven in the middle of the restaurant every day, and both always have a few kind words to say. The service is absolutely excellent, with great attention to detail and a super friendly atmosphere. The food is truly top-quality, which does come at a price, but I'm happy to pay that. Keep up the good work, dear Osteria team.

It's been a while since I visited, but it was so delicious that I want to eat it again.

Highly recommended, the best Italian restaurant. Top-notch food and excellent staff and service. Go there!

Not recommended. Very uncomfortable, loud, and the language on the plate was nonexistent... as we all know, eating isn't just about eating. But the service was so carelessly presented, with no decorations or anything... A real shame for the prices! And there was visibly dust on the counter (and it hasn't been there since yesterday) where the drinks are made... We definitely won't be coming back.

Very tasty food, large outdoor seating. River view

Sometimes you just want to pamper yourself and be pampered. The food was truly sensational, and the atmosphere was welcoming, open, and friendly. I highly recommend it. Perfection without arrogance.

35 minutes later, still no one came to us.

Nice staff, great location, food very good but sometimes expensive,

You ask a polite question and are rudely rejected! I wouldn't order a single glass of water here to support this unfriendly place!

Disappointing Service We didn't have a reservation, but the staff sat us at a free table. Nothing happened after that for a long time. The previous guests' dirty dishes were still there for 50 minutes. No apology. After another 20 minutes, we left with menus in hand. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it.

Very good Italian restaurant. We recommend the lasagna, which was delicious.

Highly recommended! Tagliatelle with salmon and spaghetti carbonara. Both were delicious. I'd gladly go back! Very good service; they even asked the dog for water. 😀

Delicious food! It has an Italian flair! The service is great! This is the first time I've eaten such good marinated calamari!

Excellent Italian restaurant near Bremen city center. Fast service and very friendly staff. Good quality food. Prices are in line with the local average. Recommended.

A cult restaurant with character If you love Italian cuisine in a rustic yet high-quality setting, this is the place for you. The quality of the food is consistently good – traditional, down-to-earth. The service is warm and direct, which may not be immediately apparent to everyone, but that's precisely what makes this restaurant so special. It's not a trendy, trendy spot, but a true Bremen staple with a rich history and an unbeatable location. The style: Rustic, informal, classic Italian with a home-style twist. The wine list: Superb, with mature Italian classics. The location: Outside, you sit on the ground floor with a view of the Weser River. The interior is accessible via a staircase, as are the restrooms in the basement. For us, it was an all-round successful evening – we felt very comfortable and will definitely be back!

Favorite restaurant, are like family 🥰

Not a recommendation. Considering the exorbitant prices, it fell far short of expectations. The food tasted okay, but nothing more. Service was mostly friendly, though sometimes a bit reserved. All in all, a classic recommendation.

Warning: No pizza The pasta tasted very ordinary

Wonderful food, simply executed with quality ingredients. No frills.

The food was tasty, the service was okay. Prices were a bit high. The atmosphere was loud.

We had lunch here. The service was very friendly, and the food was delicious and freshly prepared. The value for money was perfectly acceptable. We'd be happy to come back.

The meal received a 1* rating. The pasta was completely flavorless, despite the garlic we ordered. The garlic tasted like water. The pasta wasn't seasoned, no kick, nothing. The extra request for garlic didn't go down well in the kitchen, and the waitress had to justify herself to the chef. It's unfortunate with an open kitchen so close to the guests. There was no sense of hospitality. At least the waiter offered a grappa as an apology. Hence, a 3* rating, which overall feels more like a 2*. We won't be back.

Food not good. Price quality is too far apart. Moreover my own food (chicken fillet) was not cooked properly. Slow but somewhat friendly service.

We had a wonderful dinner without a reservation. The appetizers and both pasta dishes were excellent. The father cooks in the open kitchen. The prices are exceptionally fair for the quality offered, including the bottle of wine. The absolutely friendly service (Patrizia) deserves special mention. This makes eating out fun. Our tip for Bremen.

It's a culinary revelation; we look forward to eating at the Osteria every time. The ambiance is very... We'd love to come back.

Price performance is absolutely not right for me here.

Friendly service, very good cuisine. What more could you want?

A great Osteria. Very tasty and delicious food and drink without any frills or chichi. Attentive and very friendly service. Everything is uncomplicated and relaxed. Great value for money. Respect! It's a shame we don't live in HB - that would be our favorite Italian restaurant! Thanks so much. You gave us a very nice evening.

It was very tasty. The service was great. I can only recommend it.

Incredibly good food with a great PLV. The ambience is rather simple, but the food is more lovingly prepared. All the side dishes went great with the main course and there is also a great dessert variation. The service was friendly and attentive. A touch of Italy in Northern Germany. I'd love to come back!

I only drank one wine. Was there with a group who had eaten beforehand. Unfortunately, no one asked if any more drinks were wanted.

Sehr lecker gegessen in unkomplizierter Atmosphäre. Come in Italia… komme auf jeden Fall wieder und kann die Osteria nur empfehlen!

We felt very comfortable and will definitely be back. 👍The food and service were excellent. Unfortunately, the dining room is very noisy.

Very pleasant atmosphere. The service is very friendly. The food is really great, as is the selection of drinks. We would love to come back! :-)

Touristenfalle. Schön in erster Reihe an der Schlachte gelegen. Da hört’s dann aber auch auf. Auf den Tisch kamen Convenience Produkte. Das einzig hochwertige hier sind die Preise.

Top recommendation! A real Italian! (No franchise) Everything homemade and family run. Like mom in Bella Italia! Que bene!

Good food, not cheap in terms of price, but okay for the location. Gladly again on the next visit to Bremen.

Yes, it was very nice, the food was perfect and very tasty

Very tasty dishes, in a nice atmosphere - with an open kitchen and at very reasonable prices.. gladly again!

They have not completely kept up with the times. The decoration of the dishes (which tasted great) and the bowl of lettuce with simple dressing were particularly disappointing. (Delicious) Piece of meat with a sauce on an otherwise undressed plate.

It was great, very tasty and very friendly!

Au détour de une promenade , nous sommes rentrés dans cette trattoria italienne et avons été séduit par la qualité des mets et l accueil du service . Bravo à l équipe en salle et en cuisine !

The restaurant offers a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere where the owner Savino is extremely friendly and warm, making every guest feel at home. The staff is also very helpful and attentive. A real highlight of this restaurant are the dishes prepared with fresh truffles! Each dish is a unique culinary experience, prepared with high quality ingredients and great care. If you are a truffle lover, you definitely shouldn't miss these delicacies❤️❤️

Why do you go out to eat? Because you want better quality than at home, nice service and a nice ambience. The food here is mediocre (Hello Fresh would get 3-4 stars), overpriced and it's just very noisy. There may be people who like that. My wife and I don't.

We were guests here at lunchtime. Table was reserved, which was necessary. My lasagna was delicious. In the restaurant you can see directly into the kitchen. Service was attentive and nice

The service was nice, unfortunately she didn't know what was on the daily menu and there was no "extra daily menu" in the normal menu. Portion relatively small, but enough for me. Ambiance is rather rustic and simple. Price-performance = ok - good.

Strong start with a good starter, unfortunately the main courses were all a total flop.

Good Italian restaurant right on the promenade. Service, food and prices are right. Clear recommendation

The meal was excellent, the beef fillet was excellent, the antipasti was delicious, the service was great, in short one of the best Italians in Bremen

Food was tasty but unfortunately cold

The steak was good...but the potatoes and the salad, especially the dressing, were an absolute failure. As a result, the food was way too expensive.

Portions are far too small and still fair for the price

Oh man...that's what a hard landing feels like. It's been a long time since I've had a salad (with turkey) that was really bad. The meat was extremely seared, the vegetables were cut as if a child had chopped and draped them. Unfortunately, the dressing was totally unpleasant (perhaps you should ask the guest what kind of dressing they would like instead of drowning it in balsamic vinegar according to the motto #EatOrDie....) Outside, something was constantly blowing from the trees onto the plates and the table/chair area could use a broom. Always enjoy fighting but today was really disappointing.

Sono rimasto più che stupito per la qualità che qui è servita . Basso ricarico de vino con aziende di eccellenza. Servizio professionale , peccato tutto ciò non esista a Berlino

Zum wiederholten Mal waren wir in der Osteria zu Gast. Und wieder haben wir uns vom 5-Gänge-Menü überraschen lassen. Meine Frau hatte die Fisch-, ich die Fleischvariante. Dazu gab es eine perfekt passende Weinempfehlung vom kompetenten Service. In der Osteria merkt man, dass gerne und mit Liebe gekocht wird. Frische Zutaten und begnadete Köche, deren Kunst man in der offenen Küche beobachten kann, machen den Besuch zu einem echten Erlebnis. Auch wenn die Anreise weit ist, der Weg lohnt sich. Wir kommen wieder, danke an die wundervolle Crew.

Wir hatten an einem angenehm warmen Augustabend einen Tisch unter freiem Himmel. Die Stimmung war wunderbar. Die Bedienung war freundlich, aber von der Zahl der Gäste etwas überfordert. Das Essen war gut und schmackhaft. Ich hatte eine Fischsuppe, danach Seeteufel und zum Abschluss Zabaione.

Like a short vacation in Italy. Great food, great service!!!

Heerlijk gegeten en gedronken, lekker buiten gezeten. Biertje bij en heerlijke fles rode wijn Dolcetto D’alba. Vooraf carpaccio van zalm met broodje en kruidenboter. Hoofdgerecht Garnalen met parmaham en champignons en ossenhaas met gorgonzola. Top bereid en heerlijk van smaak. Het was er erg druk maar personeel hield de aandacht erbij.

Excellent antipasto, high-end wines and service. It is recommended

We are in Bremen two to three times a year. We have been visiting the Osteria for what feels like almost ten years and are always very satisfied. This time we got to know the chef personally. And this time too we were thrilled and are already looking forward to the next visit. Everything worked fine again now!!!

The ambience is classically outdated. However, if you like plastic ceilings, this shouldn't be a problem. The toilets are dirty. My lasagna was watery and the noodles were too soft. Not seasoned enough for my taste. My husband's gnocchi, however, was delicious. However, there was a fly stuck to the inside of his beer glass. The service person brought a new one, which was also dirty. Overall, less recommended.

Es tut mir leid, aber das essen, was wir bekamen war einfach furchtbar. Das saltimbocca war völlig zerfleddert und geschmacklich eine absolute Katastrophe. Die Kartoffeln dazu waren vom Vortag und lieblos mit einem Klecks Spinat auf den Teller geklatscht , teilweise waren sie noch nicht einmal gar. Dafür waren die Preise gepfeffert. Schade um so ein Lokal in dieser schönen Lage. Ich werde definitiv nicht wieder kommen.

Friendly staff, delicious food at fair prices

Somehow “typical” without any chicness. Pleasant atmosphere, friendly service. Enjoy your meal. We'll be back 😊

Really good and inexpensive food, great view

Brilliant place to eat. Really recommend to reserve because its clear that people have found out that its one of the best places to enjoy great food in Bremen. Don’t miss it!!

Food was incredibly delicious. Very friendly service!

Unfortunately fatal!!! It is not the first time I come to this restaurant but this will be the last time. How is it possible that arrogance, apathy and rudeness towards a client arise more here? And add that they prefer that the client go somewhere else and that the boss is so disrespectful and does not let a woman speak, implying that she was escalating the conversation by just saying “excuse me but” in a cordial tone? This is not from a man with values. I do not recommend this site at all…

Unfortunately, no questions or honest feedback are wanted here. Instead of accepting the criticism and responding to the customer, you become snotty and seem offended by the statement.

Bad service!! It is not recommended!! Don't waste your time going to a restaurant like this, where you are not able to recognize and apologize for the lack of information on the menu!! 👎👎👎👎

Unfortunately, my experience at the Osteria Restaurant in Bremen city center was very disappointing. The service was extremely poor and the treatment by the staff was disgraceful. I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Very very good restaurant. It was my first time there with a well-known group and the chef introduced himself to me personally. The food was prepared very quickly but not in the classic fast food way. There was nothing to complain about in terms of taste. The portion was very good. Clear recommendation. I will definitely visit this restaurant again on my next visit.

As always, very tasty and nice service

Despite the full house and terrace, the staff was super nice, we had a great and delicious 5-course menu in a great spring atmosphere. Only recommended

We went in and noticed such a good smell coming from the partly open kitchen. We waited a long time at the square outside, but there was a bit more going on in the evening. The dishes are a bit overpriced and the initially perceived smell from the kitchen was not reflected in the taste of the dishes. It was tasty but that wasn't what you needed to go to the restaurant for. I wouldn't recommend lasagne or antipasti. Maybe better next time.

Everything was just great and a delicious meal, with an open kitchen, we would love to come back again

We were here spontaneously on a Saturday, although it was very busy and we still managed to get a nice spot. The atmosphere not far from the Weser is very nice. The food and service were very good!

Way too loud. Chairs rumble loudly on the stone floor when they are moved and meat is constantly being pounded loudly in the open kitchen. Unfortunately it's impossible to relax...

I usually never write reviews, but we ate here on a recommendation and were extremely disappointed. The service was unfriendly and inattentive. Not to mention the food. Potatoes weren't cooked through, the meat was ordered medium rare and delivered almost rare, the lasagne didn't taste like anything. There wasn't even a question about whether it was tasty. When we said nicely when we were paying what we didn't like so that the kitchen would know, the (presumably) head chef looked unfriendly the whole time and in the end didn't say goodbye to us, but she did say goodbye to everyone else. They didn't even apologize, they just talked it out of it. Our standards are really not high, but you should expect friendliness and empathy.

Too expensive, small mixed salad 150g for €7.50 is not possible, panini is too hard on the bottom etc. Open kitchen is cool but no pizza and in general there has to be more... mediocre

I got incredibly sick after eating black squid spaghetti here. The taste was already suspicious, it must have been quite old. The service was terrible, the waiter treated us like we were there to bother him. Inside is ugly, nothing justifies the prices of food.

Very good restaurant with great food

Very good food, very nice atmosphere and service!

Excellent Italian restaurant the chef Savino is top quality

Simply the best Italian resto in Bremen

Nothing special and really little choice. No pizza, no bruschetta, etc. thought it was an Italian restaurant
