Purino Dortmund in Dortmund

I thought the food was okay, the pizza was very large but not particularly tasty.

It was very noisy. The restrooms were dirty. The service could have been better, then we would have had dessert. My ravioli was very good. But the food took forever. Gluten-free options available.

Service is nonexistent. Wait times per order are far too long.

Location on the edge of a modern industrial area with outdoor space.

Unfortunately, the restaurant is declining. The food was initially very tasty, but now the pasta is overcooked, and unfortunately, there are no discounts or even free drinks, even though we've been there at least twice a month.

Very nice, modern, and urban shop design. The homemade lemonade was amazing. I was very impressed that the ravioli and tiramisu were homemade. In the past, I've eaten instant pasta at other Italian restaurants in the city that were more expensive, so this was a big plus. Excellent value for money. The restrooms were clean and easy to find. However, the motion sensors only go off once you're in the cubicle. The entrance to the restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. The service was friendly, attentive, and quick. Since the restaurant was very busy, it was quite noisy. You could still have a conversation. The menu is very varied and covers the classics. The pizza was wafer-thin (typically Italian) and the toppings were nice and moist. The portions were adequate. I would go here again with friends. For me, this is the best Italian restaurant in Dortmund so far.

We ate at Purino last night and really enjoyed it. The food was a 10/10, very tasty, just like in Italy, and the service was truly attentive and professional. I highly recommend the restaurant, and we'll be back.

Super delicious food, well-suited for vegetarians. :) They also offer a soy alternative as a meat substitute. The pizzas are large and delicious, and the tomato soup is a fantastic starter. Edit 08/23/2025: They've recently added a delicious vegan cheese substitute!

This place urgently needs an experienced manager. Although it wasn't busy nobody came to take my order. The staff seems to run unstructured next to each other. I had a salad and pasta w/salmon. The salad was spoiled with a cheap premixed 'dressing' and very basic. I have my doubts weather the salmon is trout or salmon. Anyhow the cuison was horrible, just like chewing gum. Nice and cosy interior.

Beautiful restaurant with a good selection of delicious dishes. There should be something for everyone here. Service was friendly and prompt. A great way to recharge your batteries.

Highly recommended 😃 Super friendly table service 👈The food was consistently excellent. There were four of us and we had salad, mezze, pasta, and pizza, and to finish, a fantastic tiramisu 🥰everything was perfect 😊I do have one small complaint, though: The young man who greeted us seemed to be trying to be funny with a comment...but it was rather rude and not funny...we briefly considered leaving...but because of the great food and the incredibly friendly woman who took our order...we're glad we stayed ✌️

Modern, pleasant ambiance and very good staff. Unfortunately, our food was very bland, with little to no seasoning. This was a bit disappointing, as we otherwise felt very comfortable at Purino.

I wouldn't recommend it. First, there was a fire alarm. All the guests had to leave and wait 20 minutes in the heat. According to a waitress, this seems to happen regularly. Aha. Very interesting. 🧐 When something like this happens, I might have to buy the guests a free drink or something similar. Then I had to wait a really long time for the not-so-great food, even though the place wasn't full. 👎 Once and never again.

Nice, friendly service. Very attentive. Great, comfortable seating on the outdoor terrace. Delicious pasta dishes with fresh ingredients. Excellent value for money. See you soon...

Delicious pasta, tasty breakfast, friendly service, and an industrial-style ambiance. We always enjoy coming back.

Very loud, we were a group, waited a long time for drinks, didn't eat together so a dish was forgotten

... I've been there a few times!!... I can only recommend it👍

The food is average, pasta dishes significantly better than pizza. Outdoor seating is good, but it's far too loud inside. Having to wait an hour for your bill and then go to the cashier yourself can't be excused by the fact that card payments aren't accepted. For us: Never again

Yes, it was good, the starter was excellent, the main course: salad with avocado, too many cashew nuts, too little avocado, otherwise tasty, nice chef, friendly service, excellent disabled toilet, we'll be back!

The young blonde lady was very nice and did her job very well. She constantly asked if everything was okay, but the pasta tasted artificial, as if it had been cooked and bought from a wholesaler. Pizza and mezze are OK - 😂😂

I ordered 2 pizzas and the waiter told me I was overweight!

Good Italian restaurant with a wide selection of pastas, pizzas, and salads. The flavors can be amazing.

The atmosphere is very cozy and well-designed, though a bit dark. The food is okay, not outstanding. Kids get free drinks, which is a great bonus for families.

The food is delicious and attractively presented. However, the wait time can be enormous when the place is busy. Unfortunately, we waited an hour for our main course. However, the very friendly and attentive service created a good overall atmosphere! I like the decor, but it's quite loud. If you're looking for romance, this isn't the place for you ;-)! Overall, though, I would give it 4.5 stars if possible!

Food...average. Nothing special. Service...meh. If I'm bringing something to the table, I don't let other customers pass it around until it reaches the recipient. The waiter brings the food or drink, not from guest to guest. Atmosphere...just a warehouse. So nothing special either. Been there once. Won't be again.

Unfortunately, the waitress's service was completely unsatisfactory. The food arrived before the drinks, and my drink never arrived. The waitress didn't even check to see if everything was there or OK.

Yes, cozy. Rolf W. Kerkmann from Moers

Very friendly, attentive staff. Modern, up-to-date menu, high-quality products and food. Delicious homemade lemonades and iced teas. The pizza is fantastic, the salad is excellent, and the dressing is delicious. Always happy to come back!

I'd especially like to emphasize that they offer wholesome meals for children at very family-friendly prices. Unfortunately, that's far too rare! Otherwise, the dishes are delicious, and the portion size sometimes leaves room for an appetizer—to put it politely. But the value for money is okay for me.

Very tasty breakfast for a fair price and very friendly service!

Unfriendly restaurant manager at the front desk. You felt unwelcome, even though the restaurant was empty. Food was mediocre quality and took a long time to arrive. Dirty cutlery, broken chairs, and the atmosphere was cafeteria-like and extremely loud.

Visited by three people on July 22, 2025, following Phoenix des Lumières. Ordered: Pizza Bellino, Salmon Pasti, and all the vegetables, along with mango and passion fruit spritzers and Bergmann's non-alcoholic beer. Excellent quality of the food and drinks. Very friendly and attentive staff. Pleasant atmosphere, everything very clean. Attractive outdoor area. Most of the rooms are wheelchair accessible, although the restrooms are unfortunately located in the basement, although there are separate wheelchair restrooms on the premises.

Really exceptional menu, unfortunately long wait for the ordered, although the location was not full. Very nice cozy atmosphere

The food is truly delicious. It's a very child-friendly restaurant. We'd love to come back.

We've been going to Purino every now and then since it opened. It offers modern Italian cuisine with fresh ingredients. A lot of creativity is evident in both the drinks and the food. Traditional dishes are also available. Recommended for the whole family.

It was my first time there, and I really enjoyed it. I'll definitely be going more often.

Unfortunately, it was very disappointing: the garlic bread lacked garlic—at least you couldn't taste it. The garlic and chili oil were rancid. The olive oil had no flavor. The food lacked flavor. The rancid oil made it impossible to replenish.

Very nice service, good food, nice outdoor area

Unfortunately, the food tastes like warmed-up ready meals, and the accompanying prices and limited selection don't help matters. Drinks are also very expensive. The ambiance, however, is wonderful, and the service was really good. The vegan and vegetarian options for pasta and meat substitutes are also very good.

We were able to make a spontaneous reservation on Sunday evening and wanted to try the restaurant out. The wait at the entrance was acceptable; you're shown to your table and given the menu right away. Ordering drinks and then the food was problem-free. We then had to wait a good 45 minutes for the food, only to receive half-raw potatoes, fish with too much liquid and extremely sour (white wine and butter sauce) on the plate, undercooked pasta, burnt chicken, and an extremely thin pizza with a rather meager topping. Tables that had ordered later were served earlier. The pasta was deducted from the bill, so we don't want to complain further. After the meal, we had to wait a very long time for the table to be cleared and sat there with empty glasses for at least 30 minutes. While the table was being cleared, we ordered an espresso, which took almost 20 minutes with a maximum of 10 tables occupied; we didn't have to pay for that either. All in all, we are just very disappointed with the entire visit.

Very good fresh food, will be back 👋👋

A really nice location. Both inside and outside. The service was very good and the food was incredibly delicious!

Nice atmosphere, okay service, mediocre pizza.

I liked the Italian cuisine, I recommend it

Absolutely fantastic. Delicious food. Delicious drinks. Great atmosphere and very friendly service. Always happy to come back.

The service was very attentive and friendly, the food was good and reasonably priced, but not outstanding. The ambiance is modern, but the noise level is quite loud, making quiet conversation almost impossible.

Solid system gastronomy. Delicious food and good beer 😉

Nice outdoor area. The salad is highly recommended, and a kids' menu is also available.

We generally really like the Purino food; it was delicious, and our server was enthusiastic and friendly. Nevertheless, I can only give it 3 stars overall for the following reasons: There was a hair in my wife's meal, so she couldn't continue eating. My Taglierini Al Gamberetti was delicious, but the chef didn't seem to know the menu very well, because I definitely didn't have a proper white wine sauce, but more of a tomato sauce. Even though our waitress was good, one waitress (who was still in training) wasn't enough to serve all the guests in the right time. Instead of talking to the waiter all the time, the two managers present should have just "lent a hand" themselves. Furthermore, the parking situation here isn't ideal during the week. I had to park right on the street in the dead-end street, behind several other cars, and since turning around wasn't possible, I had to reverse out. And last but not least, the guest Wi-Fi connection wasn't working.

A lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere, worth meeting up and eating. The service is also good. Unfortunately, the chicken strips in the pasta dish weren't the best, so I left some of them behind. My pasta with salmon was delicious. Good location with plenty of parking nearby, great service, and a kids' and dessert menu.

The kitchen was unable to serve fresh Italian pasta al dente...it was only half-cooked the first time, and the second attempt had the same problem. No salt or pepper, but thankfully, it was on the table. Except for one waitress, the staff looked and seemed very unmotivated...🤔 It really makes you wonder whether you should even go out to eat at today's prices!!!!???

Unfortunately, my visit to Purino Dortmund was disappointing overall. From the service to the quality of the food, the restaurant was completely unimpressive. The waitress seemed friendly, but that was it. The pizza was particularly disappointing: bland in taste, the dough tough, and overall far below what you would expect from an Italian restaurant. I've never been served such a bad pizza before. The only positive thing: The atmosphere and surroundings are truly beautiful and inviting, but unfortunately, the poor overall experience undermines this potential. Conclusion: For good food and attentive service, I wouldn't recommend Purino Dortmund.

I don't want to write a super-long review. The service was okay, despite what appeared to be a large family celebration with a large number of guests. As for the food... don't bother! There were three of us, with different dishes and appetizers. Of the six dips offered, three were tasty, and the tomato, mozzarella, and arugula salad was okay. Our three main courses were all somewhere between "meh" and "absolutely disgusting." Thankfully, they didn't charge for the latter. I wouldn't call this establishment a restaurant any more than I would call McDonald's a restaurant.

The food was okay, but if you have children with you and have to wait an hour and a half for your food, I'm not recommending it. Unfortunately, the service was overwhelmed by the full restaurant.

The fettuccine with beef strips could have been delicious if they weren't a) lukewarm and, much worse, b) leathery. I like al dente, but they were practically raw. Since I was there during my lunch break, I dutifully ate everything and will simply go somewhere else next time.

The food was delicious, the service was young, friendly and quick. Despite FULLHOUSE on a Sunday evening. Every table inside and outside (except ours) was occupied when we arrived, but we were still served very nicely and quickly. The pictures from the other reviewers speak for themselves... A cozy, chic shop, Purino. So far everything I've eaten here has been fresh, crunchy and really tasty. Whether salad, bowl, bread or pizza. I like going to Purino.

A very nice restaurant, and I really like both the ambiance and the food. The homemade lemonades are also unbeatable. I'll be coming back more often.

We were there with a large group. The food was delicious, and despite our large order, special requests were accepted and made correctly. Kudos to the kitchen. Beer was forgotten twice, which can happen with such a large order. In the end, I got a small portion of tiramisu. According to the staff, tiramisu was everything and that was the rest. I expected that I might get something else on the side. Everyone else got really large portions. Instead of so much cream (to fill the plates), they could have added a scoop of ice cream. I also have to say that the tiramisu was very tasty. Food 5 ⭐️ Kitchen 4.5 ⭐️ (Main Course 5 ⭐️, Dessert 4 ⭐️) Staff 5 ⭐️

We were really good, friendly, tasty and super filling.

The food is delicious, but unfortunately, the service is steadily declining. Being told on the phone at 9:12 p.m. on a Friday evening that the kitchen is already closed doesn't match the information on the website and is actually somewhat questionable. Even when you get there, you're pressured to order and pay quickly. This is hardly a relaxing dinner experience. You feel unwelcome.

Disappointment! Great atmosphere, but nonexistent service! Completely overwhelmed and at times unfriendly. No coordination of the food, yelling, forgotten orders... and I couldn't stand it either. I won't be back and can't recommend it.

Truly exceptional restaurant. Top service and really tasty. I'd love to come again.

Very nice staff. Pizza was very good. Everything TOP ☆☆☆☆☆

Nice restaurant with good food and good service.

Bad! I wanted to pick up my children, but they weren't there!

Rating 2025: We've eaten with you several times and we really like the improved recipes for some dishes. The pasta almost always arrives at the table perfectly cooked (al dente). The service is always above average. We come often and enjoy it. Thanks Old rating 2023: Six of us had dinner there in April, we each had a starter, main course and dessert. All dishes were delicious, although we found the pasta to be cooked a little too long (not all dente). The service was always friendly and attentive. We had a great evening in a good atmosphere. We find the price-performance ratio to be good.

Best waitresses Jovana and Jelena

The food is super delicious. Something for everyone. The store has a cool style. My dessert was forgotten, the employee was honest that she forgot it and apologized for it.

Definitely recommended, delicious and authentic Italian food. Pasta already cooked al dente, not as soft as usual. The bruschetta was already crispy and had great toppings.

Wir waren mit 2 Paaren dort. Die Location ist nett, aber "Kettentypisch", dennoch cool gemacht. Das andere Pärchen saß schon am Tisch mit Getränken, man zeigte und wo wir hin müssen, dennoch fragte niemand von alleine was wir trinken wollen. Die ausgewählte Vorspeise war aus, bei der zweiten Runde Bier war auch die Sorte Bier aus. Die Vorspeisen kamen sehr sehr schnell und waren ausgesprochen lecker und großzügig. Das warme Essen dauerte etwas länger als eine Stunde. Die Kellnerin die abräumte war sehr genervt als man währenddessen nach der Nachspeisenkarte sowie nach einem weiteren Glas Wein für die Frauen fragte, sie fragte schnippisch "Sonst noch was?!" Nach dem abräumen und dem bestellen von Nachtisch kam leider niemand mehr zum Tisch für weitere Getränke. Der Nachtisch dauerte wieder 1 Stunde (wir hatten vergessen dass wir ihn überhaupt bestellt haben als er dann kam). Dadurch dass wir nichts zu trinken mehr bestellen konnten weil niemand kam, beschließen wir zu zahlen, dafür mussten wir dann letztendlich zur Theke gehen. Wir äußerten freundlich, dass wir gerne mehr getrunken hätte aber niemand kam und der verspätete Nachtisch nicht so toll war. Dafür war der Nachtisch dann geschenkt. Das warme Essen war echt lecker aber leider war die Portion nichts für hungrige Männer.

5 stars – highly recommended! Purino Dortmund is simply a culinary highlight! The food is a pleasure every time - super tasty, always freshly prepared and with a very special taste that will definitely be remembered. You can immediately tell that a lot of emphasis is placed on quality here. The staff is consistently friendly, attentive and ensures that you feel completely comfortable. The ambience is also convincing across the board – stylish, cozy and, above all, simply beautiful outside! Perfect for relaxing afternoons with friends or a special occasion. I always enjoy coming here – absolute recommendation!

You can't just make black coffee. The coffee was bad. Italian? No.

Super nice decor, great menu, delicious food and it was tasty; We'd love to come back!! 😄

Yes I can. Food super tasty. Reasonable selection of food. The price is a bit steep.

Very tasty, 😋 We were really excited, the food was at the table after a short wait. Service very nice. Only…. Attention, whining at a high level... Parking spaces... if I understand correctly, the parking lot is subject to charges during the day, but free in the evenings, there are also free spaces on the street, you just have to walk a bit...

Service super friendly. Food quite expensive but large portions of high quality!

Super friendly service The food was excellent

Everyone will find something tasty here. “Unfortunately” it is often very crowded and therefore a bit uncomfortable. Nothing works on weekend evenings without a reservation.

Great location, relaxed with on-site parking, very friendly service and really great food! Would love to come back

It can't be that I place the order at 6:50 p.m. and my food arrives at 7:35 p.m. and the pasta isn't cooked through. The staff themselves were very, very friendly. But the chef should be replaced. I mean, anyone can do pasta.

Were there for the first time today. It was very tasty. The service was also very nice. The only thing that bothered me was that it was very warm. When you come in and go to the right half of the room, the air circulation is very poor. On the other hand, in the left half of the room it was better. Would recommend everyone to sit on the left 😊 Otherwise nice ambience. Will definitely come back.

Somehow I didn't read it correctly: I ended up having a pizza with low-fat quark sauce, avocado, chicken, and sesame seeds. I don't really understand the dish. It just wasn't tasty. My wife had a bowl, which wasn't particularly good either. And the carbonara for the kid was probably the best dish, although it was great. Quite simply: we won't be back!

Unfortunately, the pizza wasn't hot enough and had a rather bland flavor. I expected more. The service was great and the atmosphere very pleasant. Since it's a bit too remote to walk to, it's not worth it for my taste. Maybe I'll give it another try.

Very friendly and attentive staff. Huge pizzas; Unfortunately, Bruscetta was a slice of bread and not toasted (but very large!).

Friendly, attentive service. Food was delicious, and the pizza base was outstanding.

Everything was great...service was all very nice and polite...the only thing I didn't like...the long wait for the food (about 1 hour)

You can reserve seats online. You are turned away on site because all tables are supposedly reserved. Very strange 🤔

Pretty mediocre The food was ok, but not great. The pasta seemed uncooked, dry and a bit bland. The serving was very fast though and the staff friendly.

The service was super nice & the food was A1 😊

I can't understand the good reviews. I can't complain about the environment and the service but the food has nothing to do with Italian cuisine. The shells with fresh cherry tomato sauce were not made with fresh sauce, it was a terrible ready-made tomato sauce that they had heated up a little. The Spaghetti with oil and chilli was cooked to die for and just tasted like the dough. Personally I will never return.

Great restaurant with delicious and affordable food, friendly service

Super nice service staff, well-groomed, really know what's in the dishes on offer. Very attentive and polite. We really enjoyed the food. The place is very clean, as are the toilets Waiting time for food or drinks is more than reasonable. The restaurant appears very structured. I always enjoy going there, not only because of the food itself, but also because of the capable service staff. No, I don't post food 😂

Perfect food, lots of our own creations. The pasta is made in-house. Tasty, fresh and the service is quick, attentive and happy to advise you on your choice of food. Class. The area is great for walking and is super interesting.

Bad parking situation, sparse furnishings, manageable food quality and menu

Unfortunately the meal took a very long time. Unfortunately, the pasta with Gorgonzola sauce lacked seasoning.

Good, fresh food and friendly, quick service.

Very tasty food - there were also some more unusual combinations of pasta and pizza on the menu - pleasant service - even though it was very full, you could have a good chat. Price-performance ratio fits. Overall a very nice evening. I'd love to come back.

Very good restaurant, I can only recommend it.

The food was delicious, the staff attentive but not intrusive, we had a good time. The menu is not overloaded and there is nothing to complain about in terms of the quality of the food

Chaotic when reserving a table - you are not asked for your name but sent straight out. Others came in pairs and went straight through. You would think that those who wait the longest would be let in first. That wasn't the case. I think an “I’m sorry, but it’ll take a moment” would be appropriate. We had to decide on something else, because when it's minus degrees I don't wait in the entrance/on the street - it's a shame because we had already chosen the main course and dessert in advance.
