Restaurant Garibaldi in Heidelberg

A very nice restaurant with friendly and professional waiters, and the food was also delicious. We highly recommend it.

The service is underground. We waited 40 minutes (!!!) for our drinks. The service was generally very slow. A tip was then required when paying. I cannot recommend the Garibaldi restaurant. Just the ambience is nice and the pizza was ok.

The place has already seen its best years pass and it is evident in its old-fashioned furniture, its dishes that are made with reluctance and the attitude of the staff. The food was quite forgettable and with an average flavor that was bordering on bad. The waiter's attention was good, but he got lost in his recommendations and times. The end of the matter was that they did not have a credit card charging terminal and we were forced to pay in cash (something they never told us before sitting down at the table). Not only that, the waiter practically sent us to withdraw money to cover the account of an attached cashier. Even in the first world they cook beans. I don't recommend it, don't waste your time.

Even though there were hardly any other guests, the waitress didn't give us much time to choose. It's a beautiful garden, but the dishes were totally tasteless, no vegetables, spices or anything else. They weren't spoiled, but pasta with sunflower oil as a sauce is still hardly edible.

Delicious huge pizza, nice service, recommended

Food is very tasty though However, you have to wait forever, it's understandable when it's full that the food takes longer, but waiting 20 minutes for drinks and even just asking is a disgrace I wouldn't come again

Pleasant welcome. Excellent meal, good wine list. Top service. With a small remark: in my opinion it is not responsible to let one person serve so many tables. We felt sorry for the waiter who bent over backwards to please people. On the service side: a lot of improvement possible (on the owner/management side). The staff is great. To recommend.

The service is very bad and we do not recommend you to go if you are very hungry because you have to wait for about an hour for the food to arrive and place your order. The food does not have any extra taste like normal ready meals, so you can eat like that even in the worst restaurant.

Amazing garden oasis serving beautiful Italian fare. It was a lovely spot off the main road - had a great lunch 😋 spaghetti and salad was delicious.

Very delicious food. The portions are large, and considering the restaurant's location in the city center, it's very reasonably priced. The server was professional but also friendly and understanding. We were there with a child, and that wasn't a problem at all. They also have a children's menu. Speaking English isn't a problem if you're not German. I can recommend it if you want good Italian food in Heidelberg. A slight downside is that it's a bit dark, but it's definitely nice in the evening, and the music made up for it. All in all, highly recommended. :)

My wife and I came across this restaurant by chance during our vacation in Heidelberg. What a stroke of luck. Sat in the garden in bright sunshine. The waitresses were very nice and helpful. It was fitting that we were served the best pizza of our lives. We were very satisfied and will definitely come back in the summer.

Super delicious food and friendly service. Gladly again :)

Stopped in on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Great staff and amazing food. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!

The food was very tasty and the waiter was extremely friendly and always had a good saying. Even with a dog it was no problem getting a place and we received a very friendly welcome. We would love to come back!

Highly recommended. Staff very attentive and friendly. Food rich and tasty, very good quality. Portion very large.

We were in this restaurant for the first time today. We were served by a very nice lady who still puts her heart and soul into her job. Unfortunately, you don't find that that often anymore. We had very tasty food and can highly recommend the restaurant. We'll definitely come back.

Highly recommended! From the food to the service, everything was great

A snow romantic restaurant, nice service and good food!!

Just behind the main shopping streets. Clean, fast service and good menu. Look out for the specials.

Ravioli from the package with lukewarm tomato mash on top. The restaurant was cold and the waitress wasn't willing to take the food back because it always looks like that

We went for lunch today. Very warm service!! Carbonara was very good. Will come back 😃

The table was not clean. Tablecloth was not changed. The floor and under the table had not been cleaned and the food around it had no taste

Delicious food 100 percent recommended

Service was super nice and the food was delicious

Food was very tasty and the service was very nice

A restaurant with a very stylish and beautiful atmosphere, excellent quality of food and drinks, professional and friendly staff.

Quality of the food is good. Waiting time over 1 hour!

Absolutely underground. We waited forever without even getting an apology or explanation. The service was disinterested and no one seemed to care if we ever got our food. The entire experience was a disaster - that's not how you treat guests. Never again! If you value your evening, look for another restaurant. If it were possible I would don't give a star!!!!!

There was a hair in the food, but they didn't apologize to us at all. The waiter kept making funny jokes and the service was really bad!

Disaster! By far the worst food I've ever had in a restaurant. I let it go back, However, it was not billed either.

Great service, super short waiting times in contrast to the other reviews! Pasta linguine e vongole, and gnocchi melanzane were super tasty, we will come back! Please don't be fooled by the bad reviews!

In cold and wind the right escape to the Italian haut cusine, the service charges 6 ⭐, absolutely warm, humorous and polite.

We went here this evening to have dinner with friends (5 people in total). The waitress told us that we could only sit at the table directly in front of the kitchen since there were five of us. Since the table was right in front of the kitchen, we didn't want to sit there and asked if we could sit somewhere else. Unfortunately the answer wasn't particularly polite, but rather a resounding “no”. We understand that there may not be suitable tables, but the answer could have been worded more kindly and politely. After all, politeness costs nothing. We probably won't come again.

Grialdi completely convinced me! The linguine con cozze was to die for – perfectly al dente, with fresh mussels and a wonderfully spicy sauce. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, the service friendly and attentive. Here you can feel the passion for Italian cuisine. I'll definitely be back!

Friendly waiter, quick serving of food and drinks. Fair prices We cannot understand the bad reviews. We would come again.

Horrible food, never eaten in such a bad restaurant. After waiting for a long while , the food that came was I think from yesterday, only heated up. The owner really needs to fire his cook. Just a tourist trap set in the heart of Heidelberg.

We cannot understand the past reviews. Fun and service-oriented forces. Tasty food. We recommend it.

We had a magical evening in this restaurant yesterday. The waiter was very attentive, the wine was excellent, the food was absolutely fantastic and the evening was perfect. Thank you very much for this wonderful evening!

Really good food at a fair price served by a very polite, courteous waiter, it was a really great evening! Thanks, One star less in terms of ambience because of the Buddha ;)

Nice old restaurant without any crap. Price performance good, service was GREAT.

We were there for dinner this evening. The waiter greeted us very friendly, but his unfunny jokes were quite unpleasant. We then went to order pretty quickly, we ordered two Pilsners - here's another pretty unpleasant "joke" that wasn't funny. When these came and they simply tasted old, we kindly pointed this out to the waiter, but we were made to look unbelievable and laughed at a bit and said he couldn't exchange them. - well now! When our ordered tortellini arrived I asked if I could please have a little more parmesan, he again with an undertone that there was already parmesan on my food! (Unfortunately you had to look for it) I kindly insisted on having something extra. He stood provocatively next to me with a bowl of parmesan in his hand and asked where he should put it on it... I asked him to please do it himself, he said no?! The reason he is not allowed to give the guests the Parmesan??! Sorry, but I would be very interested to hear this explanation from the head of the house. This service person has definitely missed the job, but these unnecessary discussions are completely out of place and simply annoy the guest. It's a shame because the food was delicious. But we will not enter this restaurant again.

We stopped there spontaneously for lunch. The service seemed very cold at first, but quickly thawed out. The interior seems nice at first glance, but is very dark. There are carpets on the floor that cover loose stones, which you can feel when walking over them. But I also found the carpets to be a tripping hazard. Right at the beginning they said that you could only accept cash payment, that wasn't a problem for us. The tablecloth was dirty, there were crumbs everywhere. Apparently there was no change here after the last guests and we came straight to the restaurant opening. We received a small greeting from the kitchen, but the taste was very bland and the bread was very hard. Our salad came quite quickly and tasted good too. However, we had to wait a very long time for our pizza, about an hour, and there were two other people in the restaurant with us at that time. The pizza is quite large, but you can see that it is baked on a tray and unfortunately you can taste it too. The dough was cakey and dry, the topping tasted strange to me, and the cheese was overly salty. Unfortunately, not an Italian pizza like I have before. Also worth mentioning. If you order a large drink here, you get a 0.3l glass. If we had read the reviews beforehand we would have gone further.

Waiters very friendly...food plentiful and tasty. Thanks

A little out of the way, it's nicely located in the backyard of the pedestrian zone. The service - arrogant and snooty, the waiting time for food and drinks is miserably long (1 hour...) the food mostly consists of convenience food, the prices for it are overpriced.

We went to this pizzeria twice during our vacation. The first time we were very disappointed with another pizzeria in Heidelberg and since my husband was still hungry, we went there. He had spaghetti garlic/olives. A salad first. The salad is fresh, crunchy and with a delicious salad dressing. The spaghetti with lots of garlic and olive oil. Extra spicy upon request. That's what they were like! The second time we were there was to end our wedding day. Both times we had a very friendly and cheerful waitress who cared about the job! This time I had pizza 4 stagioni and my husband had lasagna, followed by a salad. Both dishes were very tasty! This is how pizza should be! Crunchy base, but not hard. Sauce seasoned and the toppings fresh and very tasty. The lasagna was hot and very tasty! Even though the restaurant was very busy, we didn't have to wait too long! I deducted a star for the ambience; cultures collide there, which makes everything a bit uneasy. The wood is very dark. Please also pay attention to the hidden corners. Chandeliers, window sills and radiator panel very dusty and full of cobwebs. Thanks to the waitress who served us as if we were at her home!!! If we are in Heidelberg again, we will come back!

I can only agree with the negative reviews. Nice outdoor area, service took a long time as did the drinks. I can't say anything about the food as it never arrived. If I had read the reviews beforehand, I would never have gone to this restaurant.

Pizza quality and size good. When paying, you should be careful not to be overcharged. Like with us, 7.50 for a wine that we didn't even drink.

Very cute restaurant in the heart of Heidelberg! Food excellent! Friendly and attentive service!

Very tasty and friendly waiter, prices are reasonable in relation to the portions) I really liked everything)

Great and nice staff very friendly. The food was very tasty and fresh. I would recommend it

We spontaneously went for dinner without a reservation. The waiter was very friendly and always ready for a joke. We really enjoyed the food and would love to come back.

Service and food were spendid thanks!

The best times are probably over. Time for a freshup!

It was a really great evening. Our waiter Mathias was very polite and pleasant. Always happy and highly recommended 🙏🏽

Since my wife has a dog allergy and a group with a dog sat right next to us, we wanted to go and have the drinks we had. Of course I wanted to pay for the food we had ordered wasn't there yet, but the boss wanted us to eat it I also had no idea how to pay because it hadn't been served yet. They wanted to give us another table that was right next door - that wouldn't have helped. The boss was extremely unfriendly because he couldn't get rid of his food. He asked us not to come back and we would never enter again without being asked. Of course we paid for our drinks. Apparently dogs are more valued there than guests and there is no understanding for my wife's allergies. Enter once and never again

We were in Heidelberg today and stopped at the restaurant. The service (one waiter and one waitress) were very friendly and took appropriate care of us. It's certainly not their fault that it was very full and that there were only two people serving. We got a starter from the house, which tasted very good, and the pizza was also very good. Unfortunately the lasagna wasn't to my taste, the noodles were too soft for me. However, since I hadn't finished eating, I was given the price, which I didn't want to do because I had seen how much there was to do with the small cast. Spaghetti was OK, just a little underseasoned. Overall, a nice stay in a beautiful city.

Great place to go to! Very friendly and nice staff! Food is great! Lovely outside seating area!

Very good service at a good Italian restaurant.

Quiet outdoor area despite being located directly on the pedestrian zone. Recommended for people with a lot of patience.

We were just there and wanted to have a nice drink. We were greeted very disparagingly. Meanwhile, the other tables around us who have ordered something to eat enjoy the best and friendliest service from the same waiter. Every now and then people would ask if everything was OK and if there was anything else they wanted, other than with us. It's actually a shame about the beautiful location. When we wanted to pay, he didn't even come all the way to the table and let us shout that we wanted to pay. Not to mention the derogatory farewell. No matter what you order, everyone deserves good service. Unfortunately we won't be coming back.

Very good food... Service great... Pleasant, short waiting time... Always freshly prepared... Inner courtyard, very nice... Gladly again when hunger calls...

Very nice service and delicious food

As is often the case when you walk along the pedestrian zone, you find a rather inconspicuous sign in front of a gate that leads to the Electoral Palatinate Museum. You come to a spacious, green, park-like courtyard, away from the hustle and bustle of the street. Very nice staff and good cuisine.

Service unattentive and rude, kitchen super slow, food horrible. Nice garden though.

Greetings from the couple that you didn't want as guests... you gave us that feeling with your arrogant manner. That's why we preferred to spend our money elsewhere and it ended up being a nice evening...

Bad service, you have to wait 30 minutes for the drinks. And the worst thing is 1 meal is simply forgotten AND not even an APOLOGY is said. NEVER AGAIN. DISASTER!!!

Went there for the first time yesterday. Food delicious, very large portion.

So I don't understand the 3 stars, this restaurant was just top, really great food, ambience, staff, you just can't say anything about it because everything was perfect, especially the bald waiter, he was great

We were thrilled with the food and the friendly staff.

I spontaneously went to this restaurant with my wife and child on Friday afternoon. We wanted to have a leisurely lunch "away" from the busy pedestrian zone and just tried it out here. We immediately liked the outdoor ambience. What can you say? It was busy and we were lucky to get a free table for three people. The food was really EXCELLENT!!! Our order of pizza, salad and schnitzel was served in a reasonable time and we enjoyed it very much. The portion size was really good. We were more than full. The price-performance ratio is absolutely fine! I can warmly recommend this restaurant!

Pizza and Vongole Pasta are seasoned just right for Korean tastes. It's better than schnitzel.

Nice atmosphere in the courtyard. Solid Italian food. Courteous service.

The pizza margherita is not a pizza margherita and completely tasteless. Lasagne is too big and tasteless. When I didn't want to give a tip, waiter wanted more explanation after I already told him that the food was just not good. Don't be fooled by the beautiful terrace, better avoid this place.

As residents of this city or old town, the garden area of ​​the "Garibaldi" was always a pleasant place for us to have a coffee or cake. That is a thing of the past today. The cafe/restaurant opens at 11.30am. We sat down under one of the umbrellas set up at 11:45 a.m., expecting to be asked what we wanted. Although the Signore Cameriere was present within sight, he preferred to converse with two gentlemen. I went and asked if it was open or if there was no staff available. A little later he stood at our table and explained to us that we couldn't actually order coffee at that time because it was a restaurant here. (We were the only guests until then). For once we received our drinks. I won't reproduce the discussion and theatrics here. That was a NO GO, and in a week in which the German Tourism Association is calling for more hospitality. (Smile) Maybe Garibaldi is too full due to the huge amount of walk-in customers? Luckily, as Heidelbergers we find plenty of other places.

In this restaurant, everything is good except the food.

In addition to repeated rudeness and a double mistake in ordering, we also got an upset stomach from the seafood salad. The salad was not natural. And from canned food. The toilet is very dirty. Only the garden is good.

We ate well and sat well in fantastic weather! The service was very attentive and very friendly. We had dinner there three times, always very good quality. The food always came quickly and we never had to wait long.

I don't understand all the negative reviews. Food was great, waiting time is longer but communication is made right at the beginning Recommendation goes out

Romantic courtyard. Great quiet location. Super friendly quick service. Big praise to our waiter Mathias. Thank you for everything. We felt very comfortable. According to my children, “like on vacation.”

The atmosphere was really nice, but you had to wait ages for the food and drinks. It was very busy but you also had the impression that the waiters were rather busy with themselves. We didn't finish the food because the pizza was like frozen.

Deplorable welcome and service. When the waitress finally deigned to come see us, there were 5 of us with 3 children, she put us at a table of 4 plus a chair even though there were tables of 6 free and the place was not full. We are waiting for the menus which do not come. She puts the cutlery back on another table close to us and still doesn't bring us the menus. And on the other hand, other people who arrived after us have the menus and this idiot takes their orders. We got up and left. When I see the other negative reviews, I can only congratulate myself on not having stayed. We were better received in a less pretentious pizzeria with much better service. I rarely get up to leave, but now it was no longer possible.

Super nice location where you can relax and eat delicious food next to the busy tourist street. Very nice and friendly service 👍👍👍

Very tasty food and large portions

Great food, great service and nice ambience.

My wife had a side salad with her main course. How the salad dressing was prepared is a mystery to me. The salad really didn't taste like anything. The dressing made the pure salad worse. Some side salads were returned to the neighboring tables. The main courses were quite ok. My wheat was warm. Ambience really great.

If the food was made by a 14-years old cook, that would be excellent. The pasta was al dente, but the sauce was overcooked and the ingredients poorly chosen. The waiter was incredibly rude for no reason at all (he was nicer with locals it seems) and it was impossible to drink or eat there without a swarm of wasps and flies with it. They take advantage of the fact that non-locals are attracted by the quiet, cosy location of the restaurant... well, forewarned is forearmed.

We went inside and immediately received angry looks from the employees. They didn't help us with a table, we had to make our own plans. We had found a seat, waited about 15 minutes until they brought the menu and then another 10 minutes before they came to write down everything. We had to wait half an hour for our drinks. And it took us about an hour to eat our food. For that money you can find better and tasty restaurants. My lasagna just tasted like the store-bought one. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!! The staff is also unfriendly

Good food but too much waiting time...

Nice place, good food but poor service. Rude and arrogant staff

I went to this restaurant for lunch with my girlfriend. Although the courtyard is very nice, we were still disappointed. For one thing, the wait for a pizza margarita and a portion of pasta was almost an hour, even though it wasn't too busy. The pizza was ok, unfortunately the pasta wasn't. Described as tagliatelle with chanterelles, shrimp and tomatoes, we ordered this dish, which costs €19.90, with great confidence. However, there was no sauce with the tagliatelle and they were also very oily. When I asked for a sauce, the waiter immediately refused. Rather unacceptable for the price, therefore only 2 stars.

I felt very comfortable here! Very nice outdoor area! Service was very good, nice and friendly! Pasta was very tasty, only the espresso was a bit thin and weak!!! Something to improve for an Italian!!!

Very unfriendly when I wanted to add something to the salad they said then they would take the other one and I had an allergy to the others and we had to wait 1 hour to be served even though we had reserved

I can't understand the bad reviews here. We had dinner there yesterday and were very satisfied. It took a while, but the restaurant was completely full. We were also informed right at the beginning that it might take a little longer today. We had three different pasta dishes and all were excellent. The service was super nice and very on the ball. Great praise for the service and cuisine. We will be back.

Restaurant located in the courtyard with a bubbling fountain. We sat outside as the weather was fantastic. The restaurant was very busy and when we ordered we were told that food would be served in an hour. The dishes were well prepared, but the pasta dishes were bland in taste. The service was stressed but still friendly. Please pay more attention to the toilets, they were very dirty.

After 1h20 of waiting the main course was not served, we preferred to leave

1. Salad came after the main course 2. Food was not seasoned 3. Wine tasted very watery

You want to reserve a table and the staff runs past you. You are not noticed. A pity.

Decent meal, friendly atmosphere but the waiters are very impolite and aggressive because you don't leave a minimum of 5 euros in trash.

Spontaneous visit to the restaurant, hadn't looked at the reviews beforehand for a long time and just walked in as I walked past. When we arrived in the courtyard, the first waiter came towards us stressed with two plates in his arms and just called out to us: "UP!" ....he probably meant that we should kindly choose a free table in the upper area on our own ;-) After we changed seats again to sit closer to the rancid fountain, we ordered drinks and food straight away. The drinks came after about 20 minutes (no problem at 30°C :-)) The drinks were drunk after a short time and you constantly walked past the empty glasses without offering anything else. It would certainly have made our wait for the food of around 1 hour easier... Unfortunately, with the food (the friendly waitress gave us at least a brief update that it was almost ready) came the disillusionment. The pasta was completely overcooked and absolutely bland. Even a lot of salt didn't make it any better. Cooked carelessly. The Margherita pizza was okay. I complained about the pasta and it wasn't charged for either. All in all, an unfortunately very bad visit to the restaurant. Next time we'll look for reviews again, unfortunately anything else is a waste of money and time.

Quite a nice place! - Good location, in a quiet little park with many trees and a fountain (fine ambiance) - Food more than sufficient (I had tortelloni with a ham and cream sauce) - Later in the evening the terrace became quite dark (some subtle lights would help) - Service was very friendly but it took a while at the arrival
