Pizzeria Ristorante La Fontana in Lindau (Bodensee)

Generally super delicious pizzas and yesterday a huge surprise on Mother's Day for the moms 🫶 We were very happy when we discovered this by the lake 🤩

We got a table outside at around 1:30 p.m. this afternoon when the weather was great. We were told by the waiter that it was busy and that we could only order pizza 🍕... given the fact that the restaurant closes at 2.30 p.m., that was fine with us. Other guests weren't exactly sent away in a friendly manner after 2 p.m....or recommended another restaurant...hmm... Our pizzas were very tasty, came very quickly and the price was right too.

Very tasty food, very quiet in the old town. Somewhat secluded from all the hustle and bustle. Very nice staff

Went to this restaurant for dinner on May 4th, 2025. We were warmly welcomed and allowed to choose a nice table. After a quick look at the menu, we ordered two pizzas (wood-fired oven) and a salad. It didn't take long and the plates were on the table. The food was very tasty and everything was fresh. Staff also very friendly. A good choice for us to eat there. IG: Don Tobi Photography

Pizza was delicious and staff was very friendly, it was a great evening! The young man with dark curly hair made the pizza fantastic and was very personable! I'd love to come back

I had a Margherita pizza made by Mohammed, and it was absolutely delicious—warm, fresh, and just what I needed to shake off the cold. The rest of the staff were just as impressive—kind, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Their warmth created such a cozy atmosphere that made my dining experience even more enjoyable.

In the pedestrian zone on the island. Great to sit and delicious pizza

Delicious pizza at Paradiesplatz. It tasted really good and the staff was also very friendly. I am very satisfied and can recommend it.

Very good pizza, nice service, would love to come back

Decent pizzas nothing more Pleasant terrace next to the fountain Helpful waiter

Food was good. But unfortunately not the day after. I think it was the mussels.

The food tastes really homemade and was delicious, but the wait for two pasta dishes was extremely long—over 40 minutes. When I asked why it was taking so long, the waiter said that pizza takes less time to prepare. That explanation didn’t really make sense, especially since customers who arrived after us received their pasta dishes before we did.

It was actually good but the base of the Prosciutto pizza was thick and soggy. With the Penne Amatriciana there was suddenly a small piece of spaghetti. The Penne Monte Rose was an indefinably hard piece. Everything about the pizza bread was good and as it should be. In the tomato mozzarella salad, a piece of tomato was still green and unripe, otherwise it was good. Everything about the tomato onion salad was very good. Both salads came after the main course. The waiter apologized for that. At the end there was grappa on the house. Everything together was so, well, good. 😐

We went to the counter in the restaurant to ask for a table. We weren't greeted, a waitress then stormed out of the kitchen and almost ran over us without even looking at us. After several minutes a waiter came and made us wait at the counter. We were then seated and when after 15 minutes there was still no service, we didn't even have a menu, we left again and had a wonderful evening at another Italian restaurant. It was noticeable that the staff were not restaurateurs. No recommendation.

Good food, but horribly long waiting time.

Appalling!! I have gone to dinner and they have treated us with bad manners. Pressing because the kitchen was supposedly closing, which was still working when we left, it was impossible not to notice the difference in treatment towards us (Spain) with the rest. The food is nothing exceptional. The pasta looked like it was microwaved. It was a mistake to have entered that restaurant and I wouldn't wish that feeling on anyone. There are better options for sure! I put a star because there is no option of 0.

for the first time in Lindau and looking for the Italian rating. delicious delicious delicious. can only be recommended to a limited extent.

Not a bad place. The pizza is delicious.

Muy mala atención del personal, apurando para pedir la cena con la excusa de que cerraba la cocina, la cual seguía funcionando después de haber acabado ya que sentaron a otra mesa cuando me iba. Desde luego no lo recomiendo. Fue imposible no contemplar la diferencia de trato con “locales” que conmigo (España). La comida (pasta) parecía descongelada en el micro!

Rustic atmosphere, beautifully Italian. Unfortunately, the service seemed very stressed and initially unfriendly. The pizza was very tasty, but Spaghetti Vongole was unfortunately very tasteless. In our opinion, the tortellini were not homemade either. Definitely has room for improvement.

Food was ok but nothing more. If you don't have great demands and want to eat something quickly, you can do it here.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out to have a nice evening here. The food was extremely spicy. The table was not prepared. Service wasn't attentive. While one of them was still eating, they started clearing away. Not recommended.

Were on vacation in Lindau and were looking forward to the pizza. That day there was only pizza, no salad etc. which seemed strange to us, but the greeting was friendly at first then my pizza arrived, the edge was completely burnt and there should have been parmesan shavings on the pizza.. there was EMMENTALER on the pizza.. upon request The waiter (he then looked at the menu but didn't give it to me) said no no, that's parmesan in strips. I eat a pizza with rocket, parma ham and parmesan in every pizzeria... I can't be kidding myself! Unfortunately not recommended.

Were on a short vacation in Lindau and found this cute little pizzeria, the food was very good, hello very accommodating and polite Would come back at any time

Delicious wood-fired pizzas, nice, friendly service. You are served straight away and get your food without a long wait. Quaint, cozy atmosphere. The price is still ok, only the mixed salad can be improved (types of lettuce, dressing)

Pizza good, house good, service also good.

Very family friendly and great atmosphere. Pizza very good, thin dough, and the tomato sauce is really to die for. I can only recommend bruschetta, I haven't had such good bruschetta in a long time. Came with our 10 week old baby and they really took care of everything so we could eat in a relaxed manner. Always my pleasure

Very bad service. Refused to set to tables outside, said they will not serve and inside restaurant very cold. Napkins and forks for 4 person although we were 8 persons, we asked twice. Pizza didn't cut to slices.never will come back. Not recommended.

Super nice service and great food! An absolute must if you come to Lindau Island.

Ambience, service, pizza, pasta, everything was great

Very nice restaurant, good food and very nice service.

A warm and welcoming atmosphere and the food was up to expectations, I recommend it with confidence

It was a great evening yesterday, we felt really comfortable! Gladly again next year!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 And what I can't understand are comments like "I would have expected" and "only two waiters for the full terrace", or "the knives weren't sharp". Tell me, what era do you actually live in? There are too few staff, ever heard of it?

Excellent pizzas with thin dough and fresh ingredients. Special mention for the Pana Cotta for dessert which is exceptional! A treat, I recommend!

Arrogant, super lousy service, even lousier food! Rarely have I eaten such inedible pasta. In short: tourist trap and rip-off.

Not pleasant service. Decent pizza, nothing more. Plate of pasta with insufficient quantity. Aperol almost bubble-free. It's a tourist trap and I wonder about the very positive reviews...

Cozy atmosphere, delicious food. We were spontaneously in the city, were lucky in the evening and got a place.

Pure disappointment, the food is inferior, even a canteen chef can do it better. Service is friendly, but still not recommended.

Great for a small visit. Delicious pizza.

Definitely the first and last visit to this restaurant. We were there as a family and ordered spagetti carabonara. We got spaghetti with egg and a little cream. That wasn't even close to what we ordered and were fobbed off with that being the German version. We let the food go back. Of course we were allowed to pay the bill in full and no alternative was even offered or proper carabonara was brought to us. This is what Italians complain about? We've rarely been so fooled. You'll definitely never see us here again.

Service was outstanding!! The food was excellent!!

It's nice to sit in the shade. But it took a long time until someone came to serve us A few unoccupied tables were preferred to be cleaned The drinking came after a quarter of an hour Pizza was ok. But the service wasn't good.

The pizza is excellent. The treatment is exceptional. The place is beautiful. Prices are moderate. Highly recommended!

Leider war das Essen wirklich miserabel! Die bestellten Vorspeisen für 12,90€ sahen aus wie Supermarkt Fertigware und schmeckten alt und ranzig. Der Spinat und die Meeresfrüchte auf den Pizzen waren teilweise nicht richtig aufgetaut,was die Pizza extrem wässrig machte. Und dann für 14,90€ auch noch ziemlich teuer. Der Service war nicht sonderlich umsichtig oder freundlich. Man sitzt auf unbequemen Plastikstühlen. Dafür ist das Ambiente auf dem Platz vor dem Brunnen wirklich ganz schön. Nur macht es das grauenvolle Abendessen auch nicht besser! Ich wundere mich sehr über die teils positiven Bewertungen!

Unfortunately the food was really bad! The starters we ordered for €12.90 looked like supermarket ready-made products and tasted old and rancid. Some of the spinach and seafood on the pizzas were not properly thawed, which made the pizza extremely watery. And at €14.90 it’s also pretty expensive. The service wasn't particularly attentive or friendly. You sit on uncomfortable plastic chairs. The atmosphere in the square in front of the fountain is really nice. But it doesn't make the horrible dinner any better! I'm very surprised at the partly positive reviews!

The spaghetti carbonara wasn't good, pizza wasn't cut, which would be ok if the knives were also sharp enough, which wasn't the case. Service is poor, only two waiters for the full terrace. So I expected much better quality and taste of the food from the Italians. Nothing to recommend. The view of Lindau old town was nice :)

A real insider tip on the island of Lindau! The small pizzeria impressed us with its cozy atmosphere and absolutely delicious pizzas. The dough is perfectly crispy, the ingredients are fresh and tasty. Added to this is the friendly service that made us feel really welcome. We will definitely come back – absolutely recommended!

Unfriendly, unpleasant, poorly polite waiter. To avoid. We are far from the French service, can't wait to return to the country!!! Find another Italian restaurant

The antipasti plate comes out of the canning jar and tastes accordingly. The pizzas taste bland because they are watery (from defrosting?). Unfortunately no recommendation.

Supermiese Bedienung, noch mieseres Essen! Selten eine dermaßen ungenießbare Pasta gegessen. Kurz: Touristenfalle und Abzocke.

The pizza was good, but the prices weren't — pasta with mushrooms €14.90? Excuse me... And then you have to pay €1.90 for an extra plate, what? — that really doesn't exceed anything in terms of impudence.

Highly recommended! The food was incredibly tasty, the pasta was great. The employees were very friendly. We'd love to come back.

Ich war am 22. 08. mit einer Freundin da. Der Salat kam ohne Dressing und teils verwelkt. Sehr unfreundlicher Ober und schlechter Service!!!

The starter, bruschetta, was good and came very quickly. Unfortunately, things only went downhill after that. The service was a disaster. Super inattentive and also rather ignorant or rude. We had to wait a good 75 minutes for our food. Meanwhile, the neighboring tables, some of which arrived after us, had already finished their food. There was no apology, no request, no thank you or bon appetit. The pizza was OK, but nothing special. The pasta was quite good, but there was a lack of parmesan and the portion size was also very skimpy. This was actually the first time that I wasn't full after visiting an Italian restaurant. Unfortunately no recommendation.

Nice place, good food but what an unpleasant service. Too bad about this.

After I had to delete my previous review (apparently you can't deal with legitimate criticism), I'm writing a new one today: Dear operators, I've been to your place several times in the past, but your food is just bad now. Everything is bland, unseasoned and made from cheap ingredients. On top of that you get poor and arrogant service and all of this at ridiculously high prices. If I were you, I would face the criticism and work on my offer and service. No lawyer who forces you to delete your review will help.

We were there for lunch and had three types of bruschetta in addition to three pizzas. Everything was very tasty and quickly at the table. It's nice to sit outside by a fountain without any traffic. Service was attentive.

Disgusting, disgraceful and a must to avoid at all costs.

There were not many customers, but the waiters were not active, the food arrived cold and lacked condiments. I think it is one of the worst services I have ever experienced

Without exaggeration, the worst restaurant dining experience I or my wife have ever had, here in Deutschland, or anywhere else. We chose to sit inside, due to the wasps. Big..BIG….mistake! Will come to this later. My wife chose gnocchi in a tomato sauce, with mozzarella. I went for pizza, for ‘safety’ reasons, being already sceptical about what was to follow, from the appearance and attitude of the waiter who approached us as if he couldn’t care less. The food arrived. The gnocchi looked and tasted as if it had been served from a tin of budget supermarket produce. It was dreadful. The mozzarella looked as if it had left out in the open from the lunchtime session. Truly awful! The pizza was totally uninviting to look at, and appeared to have shared the same fate as the mozzarella. We sat inside, adjacent to a room off which the toilets were located. On entering the room, one was immediately aware of a strong odour that indicated a lack of adequate and regular hygiene. The door to the room would not close on its own, allowing the odour into the immediate dining area. The staffs’ attitudes indicated that they were only there as favour to the diners. I’ll end it there

Leider ganz schlechter Service, nach allem muss man fragen. Das Risotto war so wenig, das es eigentlich nur eine Vorspeise war. Preislich zu teuer, falsches Essen gebracht. Ist leider nicht mehr zu empfehlen. Schade!

A really great restaurant! Simply recommended! The food is a dream, no matter what is ordered😋 The service is very friendly and warm and the atmosphere is very cozy. Highly recommend the tartufo and the homemade tiramisu! If you want to spend a nice evening, you definitely have to come here.

Reservations not possible outside. Service inattentive. Pizza bread old and like chewing gum. Salad without dressing - natural. Brief apology from the boss as we leave... Not recommended.....

We all really enjoyed the pizza - the price-performance ratio was great, and the service was extremely courteous and friendly. We will definitely come back.

Nice atmosphere outside, the pizza was ok. Spaghetti Bolognese wasn't that tasty (the Bolognese was very dry, there was no Parmesan cheese)

Unfortunately, service left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, even after a dish was swapped, there wasn't even an apology from the waitress. Pizzas taste good, but are not really suitable for those who are very hungry. The atmosphere is nice to sit outside.

Food was delicious and we would come again as lasagne, tiramisu and filled noodles are highly recommended. It was quiet and shady outside. Waiting time at lunchtime was good.

Unfortunately very unfriendly service, the food tasted good but there was very little. So we didn't leave the restaurant full.

Service Null. Essen wirklich nur für Touristen.. schnell Geld verdienen ohne jegliche Mühe oder Anstand. Sehr trocken und die Nudeln schon öfters erwärmt

Just looking for quick money. Luckily, new tourists come every day. Otherwise the shop would already be closed

We ate there a few days ago with several adults and children and had put the two small tables together to form a larger one. The only answer was that it couldn't be done, seats would be lost. All right, then just 2 smaller tables. We also had to wait longer until someone came and served us, and the wrong food was delivered, whereupon the waiter checked his input on the device and also apologized for the wrong food. We also had the feeling that children were not welcome there. The atmosphere outside is very nice, the food was good but nothing special and the toilets were also very clean.

Nice spot and atmosphere. The first table we were offered had a lingering smell of trash around it. Insalata caprese was clearly straight out of a fridge. It was too cold and the quality of the tomatoes and mozzarella was average at best. For the main course I had a pasta dish that was likely heated in a microwave as it was partly cold and partly hot. The large bottle of mineral water was warm. My partner had a green pepper steak which was edible. The cream sauce was tasteless aside from the peppers. They didn’t ask about how I wanted it to be cooked but it was medium nevertheless. The service was overall minimalistic and to the point which I wouldn’t usually mind but here it gave an impression of general lack of enthusiasm. At least it was swift. No check was given when asked for, only the final amount. Disappointing.

Tourist trap: a very beautiful setting, a beautiful menu, unpleasant service, average food and an excessive price.

The food came very quickly! I ordered appetizers and hot vegetables, but the ones that came later were all the same, one had extra cantaloupe. So there is nothing we can do if we don’t see it clearly and don’t ask. The spaghetti bolognese is a bit more ordinary. The pizza was pretty good and the crust was baked well. The service is relatively basic.

The three of us were there late at lunchtime. Food very good. Salad came almost at the same time as the main course, even though it was expressly ordered as a starter. But then: The waiter came to the table while we were eating and asked if he could collect money. Because there is a lunch break. That alone doesn't work at all. But then we got even more annoyed because he didn't cash in at other tables until a good quarter of an hour later. After he had cashed in on us, he also cleared away tables that had been left and messed around on his cell phone. He could have done that beforehand and let us eat in peace. Finally we were allowed to watch the staff eat. Elbow on the table, cell phone in one hand, food shoveled in with the other hand, there's no other way to put it. All of this couldn't really make up for the good food. After our irritation was clearly registered, we then hypocritically asked (when the plate was almost empty) whether we would like another piece of bread. Otherwise the staff isn't that friendly either. A waiter did manage to smile, but only after we asked him to.

The pizzas were really good and the boss of the pizzeria was really fond of children. They even got a piece of candy from him for dessert 😊 And after eating they were able to jump around in the courtyard between the houses while we adults were able to finish our meal in peace. The only drawback is the small terrace outside with only 4 tables. So be sure to reserve in advance!

Very, very good, great ambience, very nice service just great 👌🏼

We were there while passing through and were looking forward to a delicious dinner, but were unfortunately disappointed. The salad wasn't cleaned properly and the dressing wasn't good either. The pizza bread was just average.

Service unfortunately not very motivated. The surcharge for two plates for a pizza of 1.50 was only mentioned when billing. Pizza was ok.

The service was unfriendly with 0% sympathy. We ordered tagliatelle and got spaghetti. All very loveless. Excellence location and not very expensive either. But it shouldn't be...

I was happy to go out to eat yesterday, but it was pure disappointment! Staff not particularly nice, just the essentials, starter for two people was a plate full of arugula that wasn't fresh, no olives, even though it says it's served with olives. Not a drop of oil, not even at the table. So I'm never coming back!

Portions especially tortellini very small. Pasta dishes served tasteless and without parmesan. Unfortunately, it has deteriorated significantly...

Aperol Spritz wasn't tasty, it barely bubbled and why isn't parmesan served with the pasta. Pizza bread with salad is at least delicious. Otherwise the food was boring, although the pasta did a little better than the pizza.

Not recommendable. Bad food and the service goes even further. Close to “rip off”.

Very nice restaurant in a beautiful historic house in a wonderful square. Delicious food. Perfect location

Well, it is a shame. It was the First Pizza/restaurant in my life that could have 5*****, but waiters did all to prevent that. The style of the Pizza/restaurant is good, it good place, romantic Venezia atmosphere, and perfect food…. But that's all… then waiters come with hate on you…. 2 times asking: Where is my main meal after 40 minutes of waiting? 3 times asking: Could I pay, please? Another 30minutes nothing happen…. But why?🤷‍♂️ Cuisine is good, but prepare yourself for the rest…Good luck

Very good food, great fast service.

Food was really fine but the way how waiters (at least four at place) behaved was at least strange. One had to ask them repeatedly for a dish, to get a bill etc. What a pity!!!

The pizza was actually quite tasty, but the service was subpar. You don't feel welcome here. But the big thing was the 1.50 euro surcharge because our children shared a pizza. Without words.

The experience at this establishment was overall a negative one. First of all there is only cash payment, which is perfectly fine if it is mentioned before ordering. The staff was arrogant and unfriendly. When I asked for a glass of tap water that I ordered together with food and coffee I was refused it not nice way. The food was average at best. I recommend choosing any other restaurant around.

The worst food I've eaten in a long time. Unfortunately, service was also very bad.

About 1.5 hours until the food came, which was then lukewarm.

Food came quickly! We really enjoyed the taste (especially the pizza) The quiet location speaks for the restaurant 👍

We were there yesterday and ordered bruschetta and pizza. We also told the rather unfriendly waiter that we had time and wanted to end the evening comfortably. Unfortunately, right after the starter came the main course - the pizzas. However, both pizzas were cold!! After a complaint, pizzas were remade and then brought to the table hot. We then ordered a tiramisu, which in our opinion had a bite and was therefore inedible. Due to the indifferent reaction of the waiter, who didn't even offer an apology, we just paid and left despite the downpour...

This Italian brings Italian flair to Lindau. Thanks to an attentive waiter, we were quickly provided with drinks and food. The pizza was to die for, as was the authentic bruschetta. Definitely worth a visit!

We went there for lunch today after - as is often the case - the sometimes very contradictory reviews were only partially helpful. We cannot understand some of the recent bad reviews. We both decided on a pizza and were very pleasantly surprised! Firstly, it was on the table very quickly and was perfect in every way and extremely tasty. The service was completely ok and it was very pleasant to sit in the square in front of the restaurant, as there was almost no traffic and not as crowded as on the main streets. We'd love to come back again at any time!

Very unfriendly, we left the restaurant and didn't order anything.

The food was excellent and arrived quickly, the only thing missing from the Bolognese was the parmesan. I can highly recommend the antipasti platter as a starter, which can also be shared between two people.

Years ago we were always very enthusiastic, especially about the food. We were there two weeks ago and have to say that the quality, the taste and therefore the overall price-performance ratio have deteriorated extremely. My wood-fired pizza was subpar, and the pasta dishes tasteless with soggy sauces. We won't be coming back.

If your chefs talk about women in the kitchen, please tell them they did it in silence, as a guest may also know Italian
