Osteria da Massimo (La Vita è Bella) in München

Everything was great - ambience, service, food - would be happy again

After 30 minutes we still didn't get any drinks even though there were three of them in service and the waiter was so unfriendly last time and we've had enough today. We spend our money where it is valued.

I've been there several times because I like the pizza incredibly well. Plus, Monday is pizza day and costs just €9.50. So great! But now I know that I have to bring a lot of time. The order is taken quickly but it takes a noticeably long time until the food is served or you can pay. I am also rarely asked if I would like to drink something else when my drink is already empty. Very unfortunate. The lack of staff is particularly noticeable in service. The waiters are always friendly, but you can tell how stressed they are and they only work on the bare minimum. I would like there to be more staff so that the service doesn't continue to suffer. Take time for your guests, be more attentive and try to process orders faster. Should it take longer, a simple explanation of why it is taking longer and an apology would often be the method of choice in order not to upset guests like me. Therefore 4 out of 5 stars. I'd still like to come back, especially on Mondays for pizza :) Info for families with children: Unfortunately there is no changing facility for children.

Great pizza! The place is well furnished and pleasant. Happy Pizza Time on Mondays after 4pm for classic pizzas.

Sunday evening, the place was full. Food good. I know the pasta from the Parmesan loaf differently. Tagliatelle are better, they absorb the parmesan better.

Another successful evening with delicious food, a cozy atmosphere and great service! Thanks to Massimo & team

Everything fine. Top pizza, top salad, top red wine, top Amaretto, top service and then fireworks for your birthday, nothing more is possible... next best pizzaria you can trust😀

Really good, authentic Italian. In summer with a nice garden. The price is still very reasonable. You (almost) always get a seat, even without a reservation. Always my pleasure.

Great service, it went very quickly. The food was extremely tasty, the gnocchis are a real dream and the pizzas are also perfect all around. The dessert was on point, you would have wanted to have it a second time, it was that delicious.

We were here for the first time and were pleasantly surprised. There is a great selection! The pizza creations are all very appealing. The pizza was very, very tasty. Nice ambience, great outdoor area and nice service. We'll definitely be back 👍 Many greetings from Linz am Rhein

We had a really nice evening in the Osteria. The pizza was absolutely amazing, and the pasta also tasted great. Unfortunately it took a while before we could even order, but the desserts were so delicious that we quickly forgot about it. Great service and value for money is definitely right! Buon appetito a tutti!

We ate there before an away game. The food was great, the service was very nice and the prices were very fair. Definitely not the last time we visited.

During our Munich weekend, we ended up in this restaurant. We were absolutely thrilled - the waiter was very nice and child-friendly, the food was excellent and the price-performance ratio was also good. If we had more time, we would definitely have come again.

We were in this restaurant with a group of 25 students, and unfortunately our visit ended up being anything but pleasant. Two of our students found a hair in the pizzas. When we politely pointed this out to the chef, this was discussed and denied. The 2 students only received another pizza as “compensation”. Our group behaved calmly and respectfully throughout the visit. The students who had leftover food were simply left with a roll of aluminum foil on the table so they could wrap their food. This seemed strange to us as there are usually boxes available for packing food. It would be a shame if the staff differentiated between adults and children (even though these children had to pay the same price for the food as the adults). After we teachers stayed behind to order something, an employee came up to us in anger. He threw his phone on the table and loudly complained about a review a student had given. He behaved extremely aggressively and threateningly, shouted at us and came uncomfortably close to us. That was completely inappropriate! He talked to us two teachers as if we were children. As guests, we expect complaints to be handled professionally and respectfully - instead we were treated like little children. We cannot influence how students give a subjective assessment, and in a democracy this should not surprise anyone. However, the employee's behavior was completely inappropriate. Unfortunately, this experience spoiled our entire stay and we definitely will not recommend this restaurant.

The waiting time was good, we didn't wait long for the food. Unfortunately, we found some food in the food. When we spoke to the staff, they reacted annoyed and were rude. A new pizza was delivered to me, but it was not packed at the request of my companion but was delivered to the table. After that, they became rude.

Great dishes like pasta and pizza. Extremely friendly and courteous service.

We were served very friendly. The truffle pasta was to die for. Only when we cleared up after the meal and when the glasses were empty were we no longer asked if we would like anything else. Ambience is ok, rather large and less cozy.

Very nice pizzeria with good service Food top

Endless waiting times. Over an hour for a pizza is disrespectful

We ate very, very good pizzas. It was quick and the staff was friendly

amazing food and staff… ate every bit in my plate. highly recommended especially if you like seafood

A cozy terrace, just what you need in the summer) We ordered an octopus leg as a Vorspeise and it was simply incredible. Great pasta 🍝 and pizza 🍕. A delicious dinner and good memories

Great food, fair prices, 10/10 atmosphere. Service for a fun to have, highly recommended

I would happily give it 5 stars. A very pleasant restaurant. The food is very tasty and the restaurant has an Italian flair. I would be happy to come back.

The food was good - but the service was very bad because we only received our food as a group (14 people) after 2 hours and ordering twice. The waiter excused the incident by saying the order had apparently been lost in the kitchen. We only got the limoncello on the house - as an apology - after the waiter's resistance. What a shame!

The best pizzas in the area, juicy toppings and a crispy edge. The employees are very nice, I get a pizza every week!!!!!

The food was very tasty, the service was friendly but a bit slow. Would have made more sales if people had asked more often if they wanted something to drink. It was a bit difficult at some point. Still happy to come back.

The food was very tasty. The pizzas are nice and big. The pasta was great! Staff was friendly, the beer garden was nice.

The waiting time was a bit long (around 45 minutes), the atmosphere in the beer garden was okay, the service was very good. Even though a lot of cheese on the pizza is very “popular”, here it was a bit overdone, making it almost inedible. I can recommend the side salad.

Great food, fair lunch menu, very nice staff!

Honestly this was probably the best place ive visited during ny short 4 day stay in munich. The food was great the portions were excellent the price was decent. Only thing that somewhat felt lacking was the dated interior, but do you really even care if youre there to eat?

Delicious salad and pizza! Service top and friendly. Leftover pizza could be taken away. Friendly prices too so definitely worth it if you are in Munich and staying nearby.

The restaurant wasn't even half full inside (no one outside because of the weather) and you wait for 2 pizzas and 2x pasta for over 45 minutes. Other tables that came after you got their food much quicker. When something finally came, we didn't even get food together. When I asked the waiter, they just said condescendingly, "No, no, everything works in the order here." The portion size of the pasta is more suitable for small appetites. The sauce wasn't really seasoned and actually tasted like one from a jar. There was also hardly any cheese on top. The pizzas, on the other hand, are absolutely fine.

Very good pizza and nice service

Excellent cuisine. The location is beautiful: an elegant internal room, a beautiful summer garden

Unfortunately very unfriendly staff. It was very full but that doesn't justify the very unfriendly treatment of us! We didn't feel welcome at all and will definitely not come back, not recommended!

Very unfriendly service who initially didn't want to take our order. Then they left again.

The staff was so unfriendly and hostile that we left before we even ordered. We've never experienced anything like this before.

World class food and very friendly staff despite a lot of stress!!!!!

Fine pizza and nice outdoor seating area

Great Monday pizza deal! Pizza was tasty and ambiance was nice!

I can only speak for the pizza. It tasted good, but at €11 it was anything but value for money. (Pizza Salami to pick up) Unfortunately I won't be coming back.

The food is still excellent, even if we would like more variety in the dishes and drinks. Service staff very overwhelmed due to the number of customers.

Wonderful atmosphere. The staff did get a bit distracted as a storm was moving in and they were quickly moving everything inside. Food was good but I was disappointed that no bread was provided to soak up the last of the pasta sauce.

In this osteria, apart from the great friendliness of the staff, there is a very good atmosphere and above all very good food, it is possibly one of the best Italian restaurants, apart from being very cheap, that I have been to, I definitely recommend it.

Wonderful restaurant with beautiful food and excellent staff

Delicious pizzas! Especially those with the cheese-filled crust!

Our local Italian and dishes nice. Too much emphasis in take away and delivery which adds to waiting time if ordering pizza

Very good and inexpensive Great staff

Nice Osteria with a beer garden. Unfortunately it's right on the main street, so it's not that nice to sit there. The service is friendly and professional. Pizza was very good and huge, the homemade trofie and (not homemade) gnocchi or the sauces that went with them were a bit unspectacular in terms of taste, but all in all it tasted good. It's a shame that here too you only get bread instead of homemade pizza rolls as an aperitif.

Cozy beer garden, great food, highly recommended

Unfriendly staff, had to pay for food I didn't order. People smoking on the terrace

Very friendly service, good quality of food. Keep it up 👍

Waited more than two hours for the food. Then the food didn't even come at the same time. Waiter completely unfriendly. After dinner, no one came for an hour and it wasn't cleared away. Wasn't asked if it tasted good. The good reviews are deceiving. Not recommendable!

Waiting time: infinite... You can't get your food together, you seem to have to watch yourself while you eat. You ask yourself, what do the chefs do full-time, probably discuss the starting line-up of the Spanish and French, in that time I would have supplied half of Munich with pizzas 😉 It's currently going to a penalty shootout, we've been waiting for food for 120 minutes, you're hoping like at the England games the horror will now come to an end, but as you know, it can always get worse ;)

A host with heart and competence. Beautifully lovingly furnished guest room, only sometimes the quieter corner is missing. The homemade pasta and pizza are highly recommended. The price/performance ratio is okay. In summer there is also a beer garden, which is set back from the busy street so you can sit comfortably. Semper bell' atmosphere, an oste ospitante gentilissimo e relationship prezzo prestazione semper okay.

We celebrated our birthday and then after dinner we ate a piece of cake. Then I wanted to pay and the cellar said €2.50 per person for the service from the plates. Instead of saying it beforehand so that the guest can prepare for it. 2.50€ times 6 people = 15€ paid extra. I find it an absolute disgrace! Me and my friends will never enter this restaurant again.

Nice restaurant. Food was very tasty, seating outside with sofas was also nice.

Very good Italian restaurant with a nice terrace to sit outside! I can only recommend :)

Nice restaurant with outdoor area. Food came quickly and tasted very good. Pizzas are a good size. The waiter was super nice and accommodating.

The food was very tasty and the waiters were very friendly. We would love to come back.

The pizza was very tasty and the service was super friendly. We'll be back!

Very tasty food from an authentic Italian restaurant. The dishes are freshly prepared and beautifully presented. The pizzas are handmade and also very good. We'd love to come back.

Very good cuisine! Nice staff, price & performance is right

Nice restaurant, I ate a vegan pizza, the dough and cooking were perfect

Food good. But too few components. Only 8 slices of Minni salsice on a huge pizza, you need a magnifying glass. It's too expensive for that. Service friendly. I have to add one thing later: Crème brûlée was a chunky vanilla pudding with a bit of a sugar crust. Nothing like the original with egg yolk, cream, ginger etc... It was a variation that wasn't good.

Excellent coffee with a wheel, very nice service

Very, very good food and great prices. I'll definitely come back here 🤌👍👍

It really was so incredibly delicious! The food here creates a holiday atmosphere - it feels so nice to sit outside. Please definitely try it.

I waited an hour and a half for my pizza and they never brought it to me.

Restaurant with exquisite cuisine, simple furnishings. Highly recommend the starters, Paccheri al limone, creme brûlée

Went to dinner without knowing anything and was completely surprised... The best Italian restaurant I've ever eaten at!!!!! Fabulous! I recommend the pizzas listed as Pizza Pazze and here the Pizza Tonnato. Insanity!

Fantastic place with fantastic food and staff!

Very tasty Italian restaurant. Pizzas are highly recommended and the price is also reasonable here. Reservations are recommended.

Food was amazing! We'd love to come back again

place to be for traditional Italian cuisine, including the full Italian experience: quick service, busy atmosphere, tasty food. recommendations: truffle strozzapreti & pizza buffalo

"Osteria da Massimo offers an authentic Italian experience with delicious dishes and a cozy atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the wine list is extensive. I highly recommend a visit here!"

Very tasty food and super nice service. Special requests for small children were also no problem. We felt very comfortable.

It was a wonderful evening, in a pleasant atmosphere with excellent food of the best quality 🤩

We come every week - that speaks for itself. For me the best pizza in Munich. Very nice & competent owner. Simply authentic!

We were there on Saturday and attended Night of the Jumps. With my 3 kids and wife I was able to get the attention of Mateo the waiter. My son is called that too. The people made an effort and were extremely friendly. The pizza is second to none. Absolute insider tip. My boys are still raving about it. Unfortunately it's too far from Stuttgart every day. Otherwise we would come. THANKS

Very good pizza. Even my lactose-free one (without cheese) was super tasty and not dry. Spaghetti Carbonara was not on the menu, but was happily brought with “no problem” and was excellent!

Very tasty and super friendly 👌🏾

The service in this country is not the best, however, it seems that in this restaurant nobody wants to work. At the entrance I asked two workers who were talking where to sit and they told me that I could choose any table. I sat in a small one because I was alone and with enough light. After that I saw around 6 workers around, and no one came. One stood arm crossed looking at the tables. I made signals twice to be noticed. He did not come, nor called a colleague, we know that not everyone can take your order... After a while I search for another restaurant and leave...

Super delicious food, great service from Vito and everyone, including our four-legged friend. Will definitely be a stop for the next visit to Munich!

The eight of us had a good meal and the service was attentive and friendly. Gladly again soon.

We're on vacation here in beautiful Munich and didn't know where to go for dinner yesterday. We found out about this pizzeria via Google and we didn't regret it! We had super nice service! Mega delicious food! Lots of choice for our two children! Even the little one got a pizza in the shape of a bunny. :) Everything worked out. We'll be back!!!!!!

Always happy to be here. It used to be very charming in Maxvorstadt and here too. Top pasta, fair price and very friendly service (thanks David). See you soon

Good restaurant - pizza was outstanding! Tiramisu after that is ok, but you can expand it 😀

Great food! Great selection! Great service!

Infinitely good food and even better service. 11/10 would eat again

Fantastic food, at a good price. Service was sensational, I haven't experienced such attentive and friendly waiters in a long time. Gladly again!

I'm directed here first, I come from the castronomi myself, a pizza took 30 minutes and the waiter was just bad

I prezzi sono tre volte di più che sul internet

Sehr leckere Calzone, nettes Personal

Ich war zum ersten Mal hier und bin positiv überrascht. Es gibt eine tolle Auswahl! Die Pizzakreationen sind alle sehr ansprechend. Die Pizza ist sehr sehr lecker gewesen, ebenso auch die Nachspeise. Schönes Ambiente, toller Außenbereich und netter Service. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder 👍 War mittlerweile schon mehrmals hier. Das Essen ist immer sehr lecker. Ich komme sehr gerne hierher.

Sehr gutes Essen uns sehr nettes Personal 😁😁😁

Sehr netter aufmerksamer Service trotz das es mega voll war. Lecker gegessen. Wir kommen wieder

Very good place, food and service amazing

Die Pizza ist hervorragend. Knuspriger Boden und reichlich Belag.
