Pizzeria La Grappa in Gengenbach

We chose this restaurant based on the good reviews and were not disappointed. We were visiting the region and would definitely come back next time! Pizza was so delicious… simply amazing. This was the tastiest pizza we have ever eaten. The owners are really nice people and the location is super cozy!

Perfect place .. food and staff

Great atmosphere, I had a nice waiter, reception was also nice, can't complain. The lunch dishes (pasta and pizza) were also absolutely okay to good 👍 The tomato soup is particularly positive. Homemade, very fruity, large portion and nice and hot, I didn't expect it 😍

One of the best pizzas/calzones in the area. Unfortunately, the service is so bad almost every time that it's no fun to eat there...if the food wasn't so good, the oven would already be out!

You don't even deserve a star. Cool location, very bad restaurant owners. We eat out very often and have never experienced such rude restaurant owners. The lady wanted to get rid of us because they were only open for 45 minutes and I just thought - you can't eat in 45 minutes or what? Then we weren't even allowed to sit where we wanted, even though only one table was occupied, the lady said we would be sitting in the way, which was also very nice. And I don't even want to talk about the food, even my three-year-old cousin cooks better. The gentleman at the entrance is probably the boss, I don't even want to talk about him - complete catastrophe🤢. Faceless to the power of ten. Dear restaurant owners, I also come from a catering family but I have never experienced anything like yours You're probably busy deleting honest reviews every day.

Recommended restaurant with a cool ambience in a vaulted cellar. Very good and nice service as well as delicious pizzas.

Food was bland. Portions were small, even by European standards. Wait staff was not friendly. More like they didn’t want us there. Table of 5 and no one enjoyed the meal.

Absolutely fantastic ambience, rarely seen such a great location! Unfortunately there are unfriendly Italians there who can't even do a carbonara. We felt really uncomfortable and as a German potato I make the food better at home... Carbonara in cream sauce as an Italian, incredibly sorry, it was just bad, both. I would like to offer myself to the chef to show him how to cook Italian. Frustrated, we grabbed a burger and a hot dog from the gourmet basket...thank God, friendly and simply good saved my day. It was really the last time I went to eat something with the sparrows.....I ask myself every time where the arrogance comes from. Any idiot can do that. Hopefully it changes hands then I'll be happy to come back.

Excellent. Good welcome, they speak German, Italian, English and French at least... The large pizzas were very very generous.

La Grappa Pizzeria is a gem for lovers of authentic Italian pizza. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff very attentive, which makes the experience even more pleasant. The pizzas have a delicious dough and the ingredients are fresh and high quality. Without a doubt, an ideal place to enjoy a tasty and well prepared meal. Highly recommended for those looking for an authentic Italian experience.

Very fast and polite service. Extremely delicious, original Italian pizza. Perfect for a date or to spend a pleasant evening with the family. Hardly any reception downstairs, which will make it easier for your date to keep their eyes off Instagram.

Highly recommended place to eat authentic Italian food in the black forest, the waiters speak Italian and Spanish, the food is very well priced and the place is very nice.

Very, very good artisanal pizza, gluten-free pasta, delicious coffee. Very good price and very friendly

Not worth a review. Unfriendly staff. The order is not recorded in writing, so the food and drink of a companion was forgotten, the dessert was charred and an attempt was made to cover it up with berry decorations. Main course was good. Rest of the disaster. I won't go there anymore. Simply disappointing. It's a shame because the main course and pizza are good. But you should also be able to feel comfortable. The staff here should urgently receive training.

Food was OK. Service was subpar. Ambience Okay.

We stopped to eat with my family since we thought it was a nice and pleasant place, but not only the place, the waiters were very friendly, the pizzas were delicious and the tiramisu was the best I have ever tried. The bathrooms are super clean. Average price, good, neither very expensive nor very cheap. I recommend it 👍

The restaurant is nice for those who love Italian food The staff does not speak English

They didn't feed us even though we arrived at the time when the kitchen was open and that was what they announced.

We arrived at 2:10 and they didn't give us anything to eat even though there was a sign that they closed at 2:30.

The pizza makes a good impression at first, but the price is really not justified. We ordered by phone. When we arrived and wanted to walk down to the dining room, we were hissed at in a very unfriendly manner by a service person. We should stand at the top of the stairs and wait as she would check on our food. She arrived with 3 pizza boxes (we had ordered 2 pizzas and 1 bruscetta) I mistakenly got confused and informed her that we had only ordered 2 pizzas and the appetizer. She replied again very annoyed. So we paid (but didn't receive a receipt). When my partner pointed out the price of €44 I was shocked! Online on the map the prices were significantly lower. So we deliver back to inform the service force. She was cashing out a table at the moment, so we wanted to wait until she was finished. She turned around and asked again very rudely what we wanted. I told her we would wait until she was finished at the table. But she says we should say what we want. I explained my problem to her and she said “someone uploaded the card online years ago and the prices aren’t right”. Since we didn't want to bother the table where she was standing any longer, we left. In the end we also received and paid for 2 large pizzas, even though we had ordered a small and a large one. They weren't cut either, even though I asked specifically about them. I also work in the catering industry and can't understand this unfriendly behavior, even on a stressful day. So unfortunately they lost us as customers.

Pizzas are fine, but staff disinterested.

Delicious pizza, with good service in a good location. The ambience is also convincing. Gladly again!

Ate there twice.lovely pasta dishes and pizza 🍕

Very tasty and can only be recommended

Great pizzeria, very attentive and very friendly staff! The pizzas are bombastic, highly recommended! We felt very comfortable and would love to come back!!

Cool atmosphere, the food is OK too, but there is definitely still a lot of room for improvement in the service. Whether children order a children's plate is decided by the parents, not the waiter!

Good food, average service. Specially the old dude working there might be the unfriendliest person working in the service industry. Service was also slow, they seem understaffed or disorganized.

A wonderful evening with huge pizzas and a great ambience

It's very comfortable to sit there and the food is very good. Pizza has a very thin dough with a crispy edge and very fresh ingredients and tastes very good. Waiter was very friendly and funny too. I can only recommend. But you should have reserved in advance, otherwise it is not guaranteed that you will get a place.

Best Italian restaurant in the region!!! Pizza top and all other dishes always fresh and tasty. Nando is the boss and the good soul in the restaurant. Lunch for 9€ salad and pizza or pasta is amazing. I like to go there often 😄

Pizza was okay, service wasn't very friendly, the atmosphere was nice but you were almost sitting on the lap of the person sitting next to you (a stranger). There are definitely better pizzas in Ortenaukreis.

Great place and an amazing food.

Top quality, very tasty and nice atmosphere

Already unfriendly on the phone, service on site was no better. Pizza seafood soggy with pounds of onions on it. Salad and bruschetta also only mediocre :-( but the atmosphere is very nice... what a shame!

Absolutely! The food tasted excellent. Staff was always friendly. Price/performance top.

We have been to this Italian restaurant many times! Unfortunately, in recent years it has always been so full there that we thought there was no room! We didn't know that there were more tables in the basement!!! The ambience actually knocks everyone out of their shoes... a lot of attention to detail. Starting from the counter, everywhere in the restaurant there are bottles of wine, various schnapps, whiskey... and much more. Half Fiat car parts staged with light... Lots of clever and funny sayings on the walls. There is a lot to see!!! The old cellar vault does the rest. Feel-good factor!!! The round oven is in the back room! Had 2 pizzas, both times with super thin dough, well topped with fresh ingredients. I didn't know such a dough, it was very tasty. Once I baked three types of pasta... simply top and delicious. My companion had penne with minced sauce and a generous amount of parmesan. Lasagna, pizza ham salami. Everything is fresh, well topped and plentiful. Normal pizza 30cm. Service.....had a great, non-intrusive perfume on it! The gentlemen are a little shy! The boss is very nice... everyone always tries hard, top! Price / performance = totally reasonable I would highly recommend.....1000 thanks for the very good food in a great ambience. Thanks

Simply the best pizza in the Kinzigtal. In addition, a great ambience and very friendly and attentive service.

Excellent service. Kindness. Good quality price. Good Italian food.

Just before the lunch break (Italians are strict about this) I ordered a daily suggestion and a large pizza. In the daily suggestion - for less than €10! - a salad, small pizza and cup of coffee were included. Now we didn't think the pizza was "small" even though mine was clearly a bit bigger,... but the pizza baker himself assured us that we were going to process it completely 😉 And he was right ❗️Although I didn't have any for the rest of the day hungry more. A surprise.

Good pizzas. Bad service (They served my order 30min after serving the order of my girlfriend. Also, the lady in charge is not friendly, to say the least).

The four of us recently had pizza...it was great...it was full, but everyone was still very friendly...the only thing I would like to say is: don't make the Aperol Spritz so thin :-)

Was a little hesitant to visit after reading reviews and seeing negative responses on service but glad I went! The food that I had (The Palrimo pizza and Campari Soda) were both excellent. On the pizza side, the crust was thin but with a nice center with a crisp outside but softer center. The proportions on toppings was a great balance, and the flavors combined well! Everyone also seemed to be enjoying their food as well! The portions are also quite large, with even the small pizza (they offer two, I ordered the smaller) being more than enough for one person. Also they have a lot more pizza options than I see in current photos, id estimate between 30-40 different pizzas. On therl service front, I can somewhat understand where some of the reviewers had issues. First, not knowing any german may make like difficult. As Gengenbach is a smaller town in Germany, most people (that I've encountered anyway) have a limited vocabulary in English, which isn't surprising, but can make ordering difficult. I have limited skill with German but was able to get by with my broken conversational phrases (and quick glances at Google translate) so its not a major issue. In addition, I refrained from even trying to use English so they know more than one expects. People may also have better results with Italian or French given the region but can't say for sure. Also on service, I wouldnt call any behavior I encountered rude, though some is definitely different than what one may be used to. One of my two servers was very direct and to the point, and didnt really offer any recommendations when I asked, instead simply offering a shrug. I've known some restaurants to refrain from doing so, as some view that the entire menu is recommended, that's why it's on the menu, so I understand. Also it takes a bit more than simple quick eye contact to alert the server that you need something, but wouldn't say it's rude, they are just letting you eat. Overall, the staff were nice and courteous, even if a bit different from what I am accustomed to. As for atmosphere, it's a very cozy and warm place, great for night of good food and drinks with friends! They also accept both cash and credit cards (though I don't know which cards)

Very tasty pizza in the cozy vaulted cellar

We were served very well and the food was delicious.

Bei negativen Kritiken wird mit dem Anwalt gedroht was zum Gesamtbild der Unfreundlichkeit passt. Die Freundlichkeit hat im La Grappa vor allem nach der Pandemie extrem nachgelassen. Zeitweise schwierig telefonisch zu erreichen. Sehr lange Lieferzeiten. Bestellt man auf eine bestimmte Uhrzeit zur Abholung mussten wir trotzdem noch 20min. warten. Die Pizzen sind zwar ok, aber der Service hält uns von Bestellungen oder einem Besuch zukünftig ab. Das macht einfach keinen Spaß!!

It is common practice here for bad reviews to be deleted. So let's see how long this one is online: The food here is really good! Unfortunately, the dining experience is marred by subpar service. There can always be long waiting times, but if you are then treated stupidly when you ask cautiously, that is out of the question. If the lady doesn't like people, maybe she should look for another job. In any case, we won't be coming back.

Great location, best pizza in the region. WONDERFUL grace

Had a delicious meal here in a nice atmosphere and friendly service

An absolute disgrace. We had rented something for 16 adults and 4 children, but on the day we wanted to eat it was closed and had to look for another location for the celebration. The next day I called and I was even talked to stupidly. I would prefer not to give it a star, but see it as a consolation star.

A stylish Italian in the beautiful town of Gengenbach. Top food, highly recommended

A quaint Italian restaurant that reminds me of the legendary La Pulci in Solofra Campania as soon as I enter. Typically the pasta dishes and the pizza are great. And the prices are completely reasonable too.

Rustic economy, incredibly great. Everything was fine. Food awesome. If you don't go here, you're missing out.

Very nice restaurant, good food. Service sometimes a little inattentive

Nice atmosphere, fast and very friendly service, great pasta. Gladly again!

Nice atmosphere, but nothing more! Even on the 4th attempt, the food wasn't convincing. Criticism is not accepted, on the contrary, cheeky comments are made. Pizza that doesn't taste good in terms of dough and is soggy. You have to look for the ingredients on the menu on the pizza...Ravioli that were probably next to the truffle and therefore taste, just a touch, like truffle...Parmesan, which will definitely taste like Parmesan in 3 months, there it then matured... It's a shame, after all you're happy to pay more if it tastes good. Unfortunately not in this case.

The entrance to this beautiful restaurant is a bit hidden. Service without defects… Short waiting time despite the restaurant being full. The pizza and ravioli are highly recommended. Best pizza in town - rightly so

Very cozy restaurant located in a beautiful vaulted cellar. Went there on two evenings during our short vacation and were completely satisfied both times. Pizza on point, pasta al dente 👍🏻. Service very attentive and friendly, despite the restaurant being full and also dog-friendly 🐕. Would come again and again.

Picked up pizza here. This took 15 minutes after ordering by phone. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. A drink was also offered.

A nice restaurant in a vaulted cellar with a pleasant atmosphere! The pizzas were super tasty and the service was also courteous! Gladly again!

I was asked to delete my review. Stay true to my opinion, service is so pampigg! Quickly serve the dishes

I don't usually write reviews but the rude and hostile response of the staff made me want to warn people about this place. It's unbelievable that these people work in the service industry and treat their customers.

Was there on a busy Saturday with my child. Had to wait 1.5 hours and the food still wasn't there. When I complained, the service was rude and said you could leave if you didn't like it. We left immediately and will never come back to this unfriendly shop! Friend later told me similar stories about this place where the quality used to be better!!!!

The service staff is incredibly unfriendly there. Don't go. I've been there twice and both times I've been shocked by how unfriendly they are. You have to wait forever to get seated, the service seems like they hate you for asking questions and just generally are terribly rude. The service staff is extremely unfriendly. I've been there twice and had a very bad experience with the service both times. The second time I left before I even ordered. You wait forever and when you ask questions you are treated disrespectfully. It's not worth it!!

Toll, urig und leckere Pizzen in neapolitanischem Style

Auch ich wurde von Google ermahnt meine Rezension auf Aufforderung von der Inhaberin La Grappa zu entfernen. Ich bin der Aufforderung nachgekommen, es bleibt aber dabei, das Restaurant ist ein Wartsaal, das Essen so so la la, die Bedienung das unhöflichste was ich bisher in einem Restaurant oder einer Pizzeria erleben durfte.

Sehr tolle und schöne Pizzeria, vor allem wenn man hinten im Kellergewölbe saß. Pizzas und Pasta sehr lecker 😋, zum Essen gehen definitiv vorher reservieren 👍👍

Top-Adresse! Gemütlicher Gewölbekeller, leckeres Essen, große Portionen, sehr freundliche Bedienung, sehr guter Grappa! Alles bestens!

Cela fait des années que nous sommes clients et La grappa est de loin le meilleur restaurant italien de Gengenbach (et environs!). Service au top, plats frais et qualitatifs et cadre aussi beau dans le caveau qu'en été sur la terrasse. Nous habitons à 80 kms mais nous faisons toujours le déplacement avec plaisir. Merci pour le chaleureux accueil que vous nous réservez à chaque visite.

Pizza ist super lecker🤌 Pizzeria ist in einem alten Gewölberkeller, sehr schönes Ambiente👍

Sehr freundliches Personal, wir waren sehr zufrieden

Chefin ist sehr unfreundlich, für einen Weizenbier mit einem kleinen Schuss Cola wollte sie Cola nochmal extra berechnen.Sowas haben wir noch nie so erlebt.

Wir hatten uns auf ein gemütliches, feines Mittagessen gefreut und dann so etwas! Selten wurden wir in einem Restaurant so unfreundlich bedient wie hier. Wir fühlten uns überhaupt nicht willkommen - und jede Frage etc. welche wir an die Bedienung stellten wurde mürrisch und mit einem sehr herablassenden Gesichtsausdruck beantwortet.

Super lecker Essen Tolles italienisches Restaurant im Löwenkeller. Freundlicher und schneller Service.

Sehr große, leckere Pizzen, mit fairen Preisen. Interessantes Ambiente im alten Kellergewölbe.

Die Pizza hat super geschmeckt und das Ambiente hat uns auch gut gefallen

Gute Karte, hervorragendes Essen, prima Service und sehr gemütliches Ambiente. Kommen immer wieder gerne

Es dauert etwas lange bis das Essen da ist, aber mit Abstand die beste Pizza die ich je gegessen habe!

Tolle Pizzen, Erstklassige Lasagne und gute Sitz Möglichkeiten im Hof, gute Preise

Schöne location und super leckere Pizza

Nach kurzer Wartezeit konnten wir im schönen und speziell geschmückten Kellergewölbe der Pizzeria ein hervorragendes Nachtessen geniessen. Es lohnt sich neben den dünnen aber grossen Pizzen auch die anderen italienischen Menüs zu versuchen

Wahnsinnig tolles Restaurant . Tolles Ambiente , flotte und nette Bedienungen und eine wirklich besonders leckere Pizza.

Pizza war nach meinem Geschmack recht gut, aber nichts besonderes. Auf jeden Fall empfinde ich die Pizza-Preise als zu hoch auch wenn man in sehr guter Lage sitzt. Der Service war sehr freudlich, aber für mein Empfinden leider nicht sehr interessiert. Man musste (obwohl zu diesem Zeitpunkt nicht viel los war) lange warten, bis jemand kam.

Sehr gute Pizza, netter service

Echt super heerlijk gegeten!! Vooraf de Bruchetta classico genomen. Deze was verrassend lekker. Verse ingrediënten, flinke hoeveelheden en helemaal niet duur. Besloten er vanavond nog een keer heen te gaan☺️

Das Essen war lecker und der Gewölbekeller sehr urig. Wir hatten einen tollen Abend! Auch war es kein Problem unsere beiden Hunde mitzubringen. Gerne wieder!

Bedienung sehr nett und freundlich 😀 Speisenangebot sehr groß 👍 Pizza 🍕 war gut und der Salat auch. Preis Leistung passt 👍 Im Gewölbekeller ist das Ambiente sehr angenehm.

Excellent fresh food, great atmosphere, lovely waitress

Mooie locatie, maar je moet veel geduld hebben. Het duurt even eer je bestelling opgenomen wordt. Mijn man kreeg eerst zijn warm voorgerecht en net voor het op was kreeg ik mijn koude! Vitello tonnato was veel te lopend. Crostini was een pizza. Wel goed van smaak. Penne was lekker, maar kwam veel te laat. Pizza van het huis was veel te zwaar belegd. Al het personeel keek wat nors. Ik miste meer passie.

Sehr netter Service. Pizza ist MEGA👌👌

Perfekt italienisch. Sehr freundliche Menschen, feine Küche.

Finalmente un ristorante italiano

Un ristorante italiano nel cuore di un paesino fantastico. Il locale è curato e le sale interne sono veramente belle. Abbiamo mangiato molto bene ed il servizio era ottimo. Grazie per averci fatto passare una piacevole serata

Sitzmöglichkeiten draußen, aber ohne Bezug oder Ausblick auf die Sehenswürdigkeiten der Altstadt. Essen war ok, schnelle Pizza geht immer.

Beste Pizza in Gengenbach . Mega

Espectacular! Todo estaba delicioso y el trato fue excelente. Recpmendable 100%.

Super Pizzeria. Immer wieder gerne.

Pizza ottima, servizio eccellente, personale gentilissimo. OTTIMO . Miglior ristorante di Gengenbach .

Toda la comida estaba buenísima, muy buen precio y el servicio impecable. Difícil encontrar un restaurante así por la zona.

Restaurante italiano muy recomendable. Platos grandes con mucha calidad y muy buenos precios. Personal muy amable y local muy bonito. Estuvimos cenando 2 días. Volveremos.

Sehr gute Pizza und tolles Tiramisu. Super Service
