Profumo di Pasta da Giuseppe in Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Very good food, top service. We'd be happy to come back. We all had pasta.

We had a very good meal. The service and ambiance were excellent. Our recommendation for Rothenburg ob der Tauber. We had the pasta dishes and were delighted.

The restaurant sucks! The service sucks, so -200 points!

After ordering our dishes, we said we didn't want any drinks, and the person serving us, who I assume was the owner, simply kicked us out, saying, "This is a restaurant; if you don't drink, you don't eat." He was very rude and disrespectful. The restaurant was empty. We noticed the same thing happening to a guy at the next table.

There were three of us, we ordered three pasta dishes, and when we indicated that we didn't want anything to drink, we were kicked out by the owner, who told us that if we didn't order drinks, we wouldn't get to eat. We left due to the lack of care and disrespect. Terrible service.

Even though the restaurant is small and unassuming with relatively limited menu, the food was so so good. Every dish we ordered was nice. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this was the nicest italian meal we've had!

Even without a reservation, we were assigned a table. The pasta was homemade, as was the fresh tomato and basil sauce. The flavors were a highlight, and the service was friendly and attentive. A very nice restaurant, where the kitchen creates magic. A definite recommendation. One small downside: Payment is cash only.

Nice service, great pasta, so-so pizza

Very good pasta. The chef serves in a very personal, informal way. Great atmosphere.

Wow—what a welcoming host, a great cook, and fantastic food—from the salad to the pasta to the pizza to the semifredo, simply superb. From the warm welcome to the delicate flavors of the dishes to the espresso, we left the restaurant happy after a few minutes of chatting with Giuseppe. Thank you, mile.

Small restaurant with attentive owners. We initially selected it for the location and were pleasantly surprised. I don’t like handing out superlatives, but the exotic salad may be the best salad I’ve ever had. I never would have thought to mix papaya, mango, pesto, burrata…but wish I had. I haven’t even tried to replicate because I prefer the unblemished memory of it.

My girlfriend and I ate at this restaurant. Initially, we wanted pizza, and then, following the owner's advice, we tried the pasta. It's truly homemade, just as he told us, the flavor is exceptional. Well done, well done, and still well done. Giuseppe is a true guarantee of Made in Italy in Germany.

During the peak season in mid-August, there's no service at 7:45 p.m. Germany is a service desert, or rather, closed due to wealth.

We made a reservation in advance, which I would definitely recommend :) The food here is really good; we had pizza, and it was delicious. We haven't had such a good one in a long time. It's important to note that you can only pay in cash. We felt comfortable there and received a really friendly welcome. The tiramisu was also great. We left very satisfied; we had no complaints.

The menu changes every day with a good mix of standards and special creations. All the pasta dishes are delicious, and whenever I'm on vacation in the area, a visit here is always a must. The appetizers are also very good! But: It's best to make a reservation well in advance! Even as a single diner, I only managed to get a table by luck and thanks to the owner's friendly approach, as it wasn't available for another hour. There would hardly have been room for more people on the spur of the moment.

Small menu, but all dishes are freshly prepared. Reservations are recommended. Tables are limited.

Nice little restaurant with an intimacy atmosphere. The chef makes Italian food, with local fresh ingredients. Good service and good wine.

Thank you very much for this wonderful evening in a cozy atmosphere, with excellent food, good wine, and very friendly and welcoming service from the owner. We'd be happy to come back!

Mega delicious pizza, super friendly team and a really relaxed atmosphere!

Delicious food, only fresh products and friendly owners, great👍👍

Amazing food in a cozy little spot. Giuseppe and his wife hit the mark with authentic Italian! Cash only but the prices are great.

Had delicious pasta, super fresh!

The food was delicious and the service very friendly, but it doesn't get a 5 because: 1. We were charged €2.50 for a bowl of Parmesan cheese. 2. You can't pay by card.

The pasta is fantastic and the owners and service are super friendly. Great spot!

Very lovely couple. The food was really good. I can only recommend it.

Handmade pastas are divine, pizza to order was so tasty with a beautiful crust, and the service was wonderful! Thank you!

The staff, the owner is very arrogant. If you are with kids then good luck. They may not want to serve you. Very unfriendly, immature, unprofessional behaviour. The place is also not so cozy.

Very disappointing experience. The staff, including the restaurant owner, were extremely rude and impatient. As soon as we arrived we had the feeling of being unwanted. The waiter urged us to order even though the menu was confusing and unclear. Instead of giving help, all that was done was hurry up. This is not how you should treat guests - there is clearly a lack of hospitality and respect here.

Arrogant, we didn’t stay to eat

A very nice little restaurant in the heart of Rothenburg. You can enjoy really good Italian cuisine here right in the pedestrian zone. The homemade pasta is highly recommended. It was really delicious, especially with the fresh Bolognese sauce. The pizza is also very good and garlic oil is available, which isn't very common around here. The salad dressing was one of the best I've ever had. I'm not a salad eater but this one blew me away. Decor is nice and modern. The only thing that bothered me was that there isn't much space in this restaurant. It was pretty tight which is not for me personally. But that's complaining at a high level. It is and remains a great restaurant.

This restaurant is an absolute insider tip in Rothenburg! We were immediately welcomed and felt very comfortable. There are fresh pasta dishes with homemade noodles every day, and the offer changes daily. The pizza is also made fresh and can be topped according to your own wishes. We were thrilled with the taste and we were also impressed by the selection of drinks. Special praise to the host Giuseppe, who was warm, personable and extremely accommodating! Thank you for the lovely evening.

Spectacular ragu pasta. Very rich Excellent care Thank you so much

パスタとピザをいただきましたが、どちらもとても美味しかったです。パスタは看板にメニューが書いてあり、ピザは自分の好きなトッピングで注文できます。日本語メニューも一部ありました。

A truly beautiful restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. What's particularly impressive is that you can see how the dishes are freshly prepared – true Italian craftsmanship is at your fingertips. The pizza comes straight from the stone oven, and the ragù al forno is made with great attention to detail. A place where you feel at home and will gladly return!

If it were possible, I would give 100 stars! This is the best Italian restaurant in the region and possibly the best Italian restaurant I have ever had the pleasure of dining at.

Delicious, good quality ingredients, hand-kneaded pasta every day. Super nice owner. Prices are a bit high, but I definitely recommend it. The pasta menu changes every week, and you can get pizzas with whatever you want

Super delicious pasta and incredibly good and special salad, everything homemade 😍 We can only recommend a visit 👍🏻

Very good little restaurant in the middle of Rothenburg. The menu changes weekly and everything is homemade. The pasta is a real insider tip. Very happy again!

Super nice boss, great pasta and great creations that I have never seen before. Each pasta dish is prepared fresh and individually. The portions were also very good and delicious! Any time. A tip: It's best to call and reserve in advance. Even in mid-February (ok, it was Valentine's Day weekend) it was filled to capacity!

This is the best pasta I found in Germany. I want to eat it again

nice little restaurant. Good fresh pasta, good house wine. I will visit again.

Excellent Italian food place. Its open kitchen lives up to the name of the restaurant.

Mhhhh....nice owners, but pasta is highly overrated and way overpriced. Our Pasta was overcooked and salty. At prices of around 20 euros you expect something special, but nothing special here, neither the pasta itself, nor the sauces. Too bad, had high hopes after reading the fantastic reviews here. Maybe just a bad day? Possibly. But since the sauces were not that great either, it's unlikely. And at these prices, we won't try it out another time. My invitées were quite disappointed as well. But I am okay, at least we tried it. Looks good from the outside

Top food, great service and amazing chef/host! Keep it up giuseppe!

The food is REALLY GOOD, much better than many places in Italy. Well done, well done

Giuseppe and his wife are the perfect hosts. The food is very flavorful and delicious. Reservations are required, so call and reserve a table, you will not be disappointed!

It will probably be enough for tourists...

I think their pastas are really good but my pizza was, sorry to say it, pretty disappointing. And also pretty expensive. I paid for 18€ for pizza with porcini and arugula and it’s a little bit too salty. (Moreover I just had a very good pizza somewhere three days ago with Salmon and argula and it only costs 10,5€) I recommend to go for the pasta! But the service was really nice 👍

It was super good!!! Thank you very much Hansruedi and Claire

Best Italian restaurant in town! Part of the menu changes regularly and only fresh ingredients are used.

We had two different pizzas. You choose the ingredients you want and it is freshly prepared. They were extremely crispy and tasted a culinary highlight. What is irritating is the self-service and the fact that payment is only possible in cash. I would also like it if the store was bigger as it was a bit cramped. A suggestion for the owner would be that there should be a list of possible pizza toppings.

If you’re looking for authentic Italian food this is the place to go. I got the bruschetta and pasta Al ragout. There is only the owner and another woman (I think his wife but I don’t want to assume), and they do an amazing job. This place is only cash so be prepared, but if you need an ATM there is one around the corner to use. Overall 10/10

Never had a better bruschetta, simple and so delicious. Then tiramisu is a dream.

Outstanding Italian the lasagna pasta and pizza were mouth watering. I couldn’t believe I ate the best Italian in my life in a German village.

Best Italian in all of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Fresh pasta in a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended. A real insider tip.

Delicious. Very friendly. Very personal. I deducted one star because of the lack of card payment.

Typical Italian cuisine. Simple but fresh and very tasty!

Sehr gute Pasta Gerichte. Wir haben Arrabiata Gegessen sehr lecker. Schönes Ambiente alle Freundlich. Es ist einen Besuch wert in Rothenburg 👌

Absolutely DELICIOUS!! If you are brave.. get the pasta with Sardines. It was SOOOO FLAVORFUL !! We loved it!

Very intimate little place! We dined in but at a table with self service. I appreciate very much what the owner did with this place! You can see he is really passionate about his food! And I loved the pasta. The atmosphere was nice, but I would prefer a larger space. Nevertheless, it’s cozy and cute!

5 STAR!! We have been in Bavaria area for almost 2 weeks and this meal was one of our favorites! Try the Pasta con le Sarde ! (Pasta with sardines) KEEP READING! Sounds disgusting BUT..... If you like Caesar salads (which, if made correctly, have sardines in the dressing) or fish then please try this FLAVORFUL dish. Wow!!

What can one say about a small Italian restaurant with a limited menu and very limited wine list and cash only. The best fresh pasta I ever had! Incredible job of the couple running the show just by themselves. Not to be missed. More than recommended..

Very nice family and authentic restaurant. The pasta creations are prepared with skill and passion and you can taste it 😋 Reservations are strongly recommended as it is a small restaurant. Many had to leave again...

What a fabulous Neal! We arrived right before opening time and the owner went through every entree explaining what each one was. My husband got the pasta arrabiata and I got the ragout al forno. Both were incredible! The pasta was so fresh and the sauce was fabulous! The owners are wonderful and so nice! Check this place out for a wonderful meal!

Absolutely delicious homemade pasta in a small and cozy restaurant. If you want to come at peak time, do book a table in advance. Hosts are super kind and attentive, however be aware that it is currently self-service as the owner had an accident and cannot lift dishes etc.

Small family run place. Very good and homemade pasta. The condiments are simple but tasty, with a truly Italian flavour. Well done.

I ate the best spaghetti aglio olio here!!!

Unsere Pastagerichte waren sehr lecker. Die Speisekarte wechselt wöchentlich. Pizzen können nach eigenem Wunsch belegt werden. Der Service war sehr herzlich und aufmerksam. Die Preise sind etwas höher, aber für selbstgemachte Pasta definitiv angemessen.

Sehr sehr gutes italienisches Restaurant und hervorragender Service, sehr zu empfehlen! Danke Giuseppe, wir haben dich auf unserem Kurzurlaub in Rothenburg zweimal besucht und hatten immer schöne Abende!

My wife and I wanted to eat something Italian and found this place. Really good food and the service, though not speedy, was very friendly. We shared Bruschetta and pizza with two Aperol Spritz for €42.

Very good, freshly prepared food. Friendly service! Everything fine!

Petit restaurant convivial et charmant. Délicieuse cuisine italienne goûteuse et "fait-maison" avec carte qui change régulièrement. Le patron, d'origine sicilienne, est dévoué et très sympathique. Nous avons très bien mangé et reviendrons bien volontiers. Réservation indispensable car tout le monde revient :-)

Small menu with few interesting items.

Giuseppe persona cordialissima e gentile. Pasta fatta in casa buonissima accompagnata da dessert delizioso. Parla italiano perfettamente. Pagamento solo cash.

The service and food were absolutely top notch. Here the guest is still king. The wishes were taken into account both with the drinks and the food. You can taste that it is homemade and only fresh ingredients are used. A little tip, be sure to reserve.

Sehr leckere authentische italienische Küche im Herzen Rothenburg. Wir empfehlen euch vorzubestellen, da der Laden immer gut besucht ist. :)

Spectacular... I have never eaten in an Italian restaurant, with such quality... It was like touching heaven... Thank you very much

Good food, and very good Tiramisu dessert Highly recommended.

Delicious homemade pasta and a super friendly owner

Eating like mom’s in Italy. It was very delicious. We really, really liked it. We'd love to come back.

The owner is very friendly. The dough is made fresh. I recommend.

A lasanha de espinafre estava excelente. Ambiente familiar e o proprietário muito simpático. O vinho estava muito bom.

Excellent homemade pasta dishes! It is worth it

The food is really good here. Pizza's are prepared on demand, just say want you want as toppings, pasta's are also really tasty. the reason I only give three stars is that they allow dogs in here, what I find unacceptable for a restaurant; I doubt that's even legal, for hygienic reasons.

Perfect, authentic Italian food! The pasta was a clear 10/10! Nice little restaurant. Be sure to reserve in advance, it's worth it 🤘

A great restaurant with delicious food and warm hosts. The pasta is first class, and the starters are also highly recommended. And if you leave here without eating a portion of tiramisu, you're definitely missing out. A reservation is highly recommended. Thanks for the delicious food, we will stop here on every next trip.

Ein Ort wo man einfach wieder hin muss…Freunde haben mir davon erzählt und mich überzeugt. Dann hab ich auf die Karte geschaut und festgestellt fast 400km Umweg 🫣 egal…wenn das Essen wirklich so gut ist, ist es das wert. Naja ich kann nur so viel sagen, ich würde es sofort wieder machen 😍 die Inhaber sind einfach zu herzlich, man merkt das sie mit Leidenschaft dabei sind.

A place where you just have to go back...friends told me about it and convinced me. Then I looked at the map and noticed an almost 400km detour 🫣 no matter...if the food is really that good, it's worth it. Well I can only say this much, I would do it again in a heartbeat 😍 the owners are just too welcoming, you can tell they are passionate about it and I don't need to talk about the food, it's super delicious 🤤

This restaurant is a must go in Rothenburg. If you like authentic Italian food, with home made pasta, this little hidden gem will lighten your day. It is tricky to get a table so I would advise to reserve 1 or 2 days in advance.

This restaurant has very reasonable pricing and delicious food. When you enter the store, you will be shown to your seat. The interior is stylish and the service from the male staff is very good. Some of the menus are in Japanese, so it is designed to be friendly to tourists who are visiting Rothenburg for the first time. There were various types of pasta, from daily specials to orthodox ones, and there was also pizza. Drinks ranged from beer to non-alcoholic drinks. The price was about 20€ per person for pasta and beer. It was a very nice shop. If I have a chance to visit Rothenburg again, I would definitely like to come back.

Great food according to the menu or your own ideas. So super fresh. Owner very pleasant person. Friendly and always finds a way to make things right

Very tasty Italian cuisine. Homemade pasta. Absolute recommendation if you want food like La Mama cooked.

Sehr gute frische italienische Küche. Hausgemachte Pasta sehr lecker! Orangensalat (Insalata di Arance) sehr zu empfehlen. Nicht günstig, aber für hausgemachte Pasta in Ordnung. Mittagsöffnungszeiten 12.00 bis 14.00 Uhr. Absolut empfehlenswertes italinisches Restaurant.

We discovered it by chance. One of the best pastas I've ever eaten and very friendly service. Thank you!

Very good food! Super nice boss. The restaurant is not very big. That's why it's definitely worth making a reservation.

Great little Italian restaurant. The noodles are all homemade! You can definitely taste it. There are always changing pasta dishes with unusual combinations. The dessert is also super delicious! One of the best Italian restaurants in Rothenburg. Price-wise it's a little more expensive, but the quality is great and you get real Italian food prepared with a lot of amore ♥️. The restaurant itself is not that big, so it's best to reserve in advance. Or order the food to be picked up. The owner and the staff are very friendly and make the visit an experience.

5 stars for sure! Best homemade Pasta, Wine from the house, Service and Dessert. Just come and try, you will not regret. Such nice people delivering an awesome food experience as you were in Italy.

Amazing food and atmosphere. Pasta and desert are both fantastic!

Fresh homemade pasta noodles. Pizza with fresh ingredients. Super friendly service. Very personal. Authentic Italian.

The food was consistently outstanding. The bruschetta was super tasty with the fresh tomatoes and the perfectly toasted bread. The homemade tiramisu was completely convincing and was the icing on the cake for the evening. The innkeeper and his wife are so lovely and accommodating and create a really warm atmosphere. We are looking forward to our next visit while we are still sitting at the table. P.S. I would definitely recommend making a reservation 3-4 days in advance.
