Restaurant Michelangelo in Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Very, very tasty. Great quality. Absolutely great value for money. Super friendly staff, and everyone is on the ball. Highly recommended.

Very good Italian food in the rather upscale price range. The restaurant is stylishly decorated and the service is very attentive. A rich and varied menu is offered. A good selection of high-quality wines.

Great place, lively atmosphere and (most importantly) delicious food!!!

The food (pizza & spaghetti bolognese) was very good. The portion of spaghetti was a bit small. The food was served very quickly. The staff was very attentive and friendly.

We spontaneously visited the Michelangelo last night and easily got a table for two without a reservation (Monday evening around 6 p.m.). The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food we ordered, whether main course or dessert, exceeded our expectations both visually (you eat with your eyes) and in terms of taste. We found the price/performance ratio very good for the quality. We'd be happy to go back!

We had the mixed seafood spaghetti and the Bolognese lasagne. It was all amazing! The food has so much flavor to it. It is genuine 100% Italian food. Eat here and you won't be disappointed. The prices are so cheap too!

An incredible experience at Michelangelo Restaurant! The food is delicious, but what really impressed me was the friendliness and professionalism of the waiter, Olsi Biba. He's multilingual, and that made all the difference in our experience, making everything even more enjoyable. I highly recommend it! Furthermore, the location in Rothenburg ob der Tauber is simply charming. The town is picturesque and well worth a visit. Don't miss the opportunity to experience this restaurant and the town! 5/5 stars

We had the salmon baked in parchment paper and the spaghetti olio. Both were outstanding — cooked to perfection and full of flavor.

We had a wonderful dinner at this Italian restaurant in the center of beautiful Rothenburg. Both the first courses and the pizza were excellent. A special thank you and compliments to Mr. Olsi Biba for his exquisite kindness and great professionalism.

I've been there several times now. A very good restaurant, one that also has delicious ice cream. Great service.

Very tasty authentic Italian cuisine with great service 💚

Good atmosphere. We were warmly welcomed even though we didn't make a reservation.

Excellent location. Chill vibes. We went for late lunch on Sunday afternoon.

I was at this restaurant a few weeks ago, alone. Unfortunately, I was already "labeled," which was very upsetting; it hadn't happened to me before. I arrived at the main entrance, was very spontaneous, and asked if there was room for myself. The blonde waitress, dressed appropriately, already looked me up and down, "Just you?" When I explained to her that I would actually like to eat alone, she didn't give me a table inside, saying they were all reserved, but only some were marked with signs. So far, so good; I should try the outside area, which I did. Here, I was seated at the most inconvenient table, even though there were several available. All the waiters were constantly being pushed to the table, as were the other guests; it was a very hectic spot. After that, I had to wait what felt like an eternity before being served. Luckily, another waiter took over for me, who actually made an effort. The food was good, but nothing special. My recommendation for anyone who goes out to eat alone: ​​not here. Here you feel like a burden, that you don't contribute enough as a single guest. In any case, you don't feel comfortable, which is a shame.

Highly recommended! Whether it's pasta, pizza, or risotto... it's always a dream to eat here. What bothered me was the paper straw in my Lillet... I'd definitely be happy to come back!

WOW, really good. We made a last-minute reservation and were lucky. The waiter was engaging, and the carpaccio, pizza, and salmon lasagna were so delicious 😋. You can also sit outside next to the castle walls, weather permitting. Truly a top experience. Thank you.

Delicious pizzas are available at a more than reasonable price. They also offer gluten-free pasta and delicious gluten-free pizzas.

A super nice little restaurant where the staff truly understands hospitality and service. The food was also delicious, highly recommended!

We had a wonderful meal for two outside on the terrace. Vitello tonata and bruschetta started. Delicious! Then we had pasta with caprese and beef pieces and spicy garlic olive pasta. Excellent! For dessert, we had a delicious crispy caramel ice cream (shared). Also delicious! With the tip, we paid €107.50, but it was definitely worth it!

I ate delicious pizza, and the large iced chocolate/ice coffee was really big. Great price for the size. Thanks for that!

Food, wine and service first-class.

A beautiful pizzeria in Rothenburg with homemade pasta and an upscale atmosphere. An appealing daily menu and great drinks.

Too much tourism... not enough courtesy... good quality

The pizza was dry, and style of the restraurante was really common, boring

Good Italian food at fair prices.

Very nice restaurant, great location. The pizza was delicious.

Excellent Italian food, good service, and a fantastic location in a German-style house located under the city walls of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Generous portions and easy to get to.

Stopped in Rothenburg, during our road trip from Germany to Italy and back and had dinner at this restaurant, and honestly it was one of the most disappointing Italian meals we had on the trip. The place was overcrowded, which we thought was a sign of quality, but the food told a very different story. What was advertised as “authentic Italian” turned out to be mediocre at best — bland flavours, average presentation, and nothing that stood out. Even the drinks were disappointing — I ordered a beer and it came with a lemon wedge I never asked for (and hated). For the prices charged, the quality just didn’t match up. If you’re looking for real Italian food, this is not the place. Such a disappointment.

Great gluten-free pizza, attentive service, and a great atmosphere on the shady terrace in summer!

Service died 1000 cuts.. asking for money for napkins is what defines service here. Food is just okay. Very very slow service 15 minutes to waiting just to place the order.

Unfortunately, the staff was very unfriendly. I recommend any other restaurant in town. :)

A lovely restaurant. The staff are extremely attentive and very friendly. The food is truly delicious. We'd love to come back.

Very tasting food and very kind, helpful and quick service

Despite it being virtually empty, right after entering we have been asked by the lady if we had a reservation -didn't-, she pretended to look at the list, and quickly said she could only offer a table inside, impossible in the nice terrace. Right after that a second waiter arrived, unaware of the presence of the first one, nicely greeted us, and asked wether we would like a table inside or outside. Lady looked ad him in anger and almost mandated us to seat down (that is, inside). We were right by the door, and could see half amused half outraged, that every single person was ofered a table inside or outside, no further questions asked. I understand the lady may have wanted to fill up some inside tables, but the whole performance was quite ridiculous -apart from obviously inacceptable-. That said, I love very spicy food, so I could -with little effort- finish the spaghetti aglio olio e pepperoncino my partner ordered. She couldn't though she likes -normal- spicy food That's not acceptable practice without warning neither. Rest of the food was OK. Don't expect "real italian", but you necessarily wouldn't in such a turistical place . Witjout the two issues mentioned, place would be 3-4 stars in my view.

You feel like you're on vacation in Italy right in the middle of Bavaria. The ambiance is truly beautiful. You sit next to the city wall in a small, cozy garden. The selection is extensive, including homemade pasta and pizza, fish and meat dishes, and salads. Gluten-free dishes are also available upon request. The fish selection varies depending on the day; the sea bream was delicious and they even fillet it for you. Highly recommended if you're looking for that Italian vacation vibe in Bavaria.

Actually a nice restaurant with a great outdoor area, but for a small beer without contents (pirate cup) for our little one they wanted €2, very cheeky and unfamily-friendly!

The quality and quantity of the food was fine, but there were a lot of flies inside the restaurant (as explained by the staff, they open the windows from noon), and once I started to notice them, I couldn't concentrate on my meal. This restaurant might not be suitable for people who are sensitive to insects.

Very friendly staff and truly delicious food. The restaurant looks truly classy inside, and the ambiance was very peaceful.

Delicious food with interesting tastes. They make homemade dough which why pastas and lasagnas taste really good. Was a bit pricey.

Always a great experience! There's both a set menu and a constantly changing seasonal menu. The owners put so much effort into it and always surprise you. We've never had a bad meal here and spent the most wonderful evenings both on the terrace right by the city wall and in the cozy interior. Highly recommended.

Delicious food. Beautiful restaurant.

Great Italian restaurant in Rothenburg's old town. Delicious dishes; be sure to ask the waiters for recommendations. Great ambiance and extremely friendly staff

The pizza was so-so for an Italian restaurant; it would be better if it disappeared from the menu. The pasta with tomato sauce was a plus. The Aperol Spritz was the first time I'd ever had one this sweet; I think someone got the proportions wrong. Perhaps other dishes taste better. It's a cool, atmospheric place.

The food was delicious. The service was friendly. It's a nice place.

I spent a few days in Rothenburg in July 2025 and visited this restaurant three times. The food is truly delicious! The wine selection is also excellent. I would especially like to highlight the waiter, who has been at the restaurant for 10 years. Very friendly and takes care of all your food ordering needs! If you're in Rothenburg, you should stop by here! Follow for more on IG: Don Tobi Fotografie

Very friendly staff and best gluten-free food

Delicious food and great cocktails! Equally courteous and relaxed staff. We really enjoyed it!

Nice staff in a magical place, affordable food.

Pasta 🔝, the pizza 🍕 was a flop, dry, stiff dough that didn't even manage to rise. The crust wasn't even crispy, fluffy, and risen enough for a pizza. We had hoped for more. The atmosphere was very nice, though.

Brilliant Italian restaurant and food. Just make sure not to order their wannabe version of an Italian tiramisu, served in a wine glass and tasted nothing like it. Almost pure whip cream. Besides the tiramisu though, the Pasta, pizza and lasagna were amazing.

The best Italian restaurant I've been to in a long time. Delicious pizzas. A beautiful place, both inside and out. It's a shame we were passing through; otherwise, this restaurant had the potential to become my favorite Italian restaurant. We'd love to go back on our next visit to Rothenburg.

Very good Italian food, and the outdoor area is also beautifully designed. The waiters are very attentive. We'll be back.

Super delicious food, also a feast for the eyes. Very friendly staff, would definitely go back. Bea

Very good food. We sat outside in the twilight, so missed that "someone" either put out lights on the tables or that "someone" arranged dim lighting - instead, we were kind of half-sitting in partial darkness. We also think the waiters were a little unfamiliar with the situations, so we had to wait a lot for attention. Service is a letdown, but good food.

Two of us went there for dinner on an early Saturday evening. Luckily, we got a table without a reservation. The ambiance was truly wonderful; we felt like we were in Italy. The staff was extremely attentive and accommodating. We both ordered pasta with chanterelle mushrooms and fresh truffles. The truffles were actually shaved fresh over the pasta at our table. The taste was truly a dream. Neither of us was completely full. I don't usually eat large amounts, but this was a bit too little. Because we were still really hungry, we ordered pizza bread afterward. This was also extremely delicious. I just wish the pasta, at €19, would have been filling. Therefore, unfortunately, one star deducted. I would recommend working on the portion sizes a bit ☺️ Nevertheless, we will definitely be back. Thank you so much for the lovely evening with you 😍

We are very happy and regular guests here and are always satisfied with the food.

Very good food. Pizza and pasta are very fresh and well prepared. Delicious. A very large selection of desserts. Keep it up.

The service was disappointing, and the restaurant was swarming with flies and it was soo hot in there. We had dinner there, but when we decided to get ice cream afterward, there were flies around— we even found dead flies in the ice cream

I went there on my birthday because it had a high rating. The result was the worst. The moment the food arrived, four big flies swarmed all over the food, making it difficult to eat comfortably. So I asked the waitress if I could take it away and headed to the register, and when I went to the register, she asked me why I was leaving in the middle of the meal. When I answered that there were flies, she suddenly got angry and said that there was nothing they could do about flies because they are not part of the restaurant. I told her that I understood that and that I wanted to leave because I couldn't eat in peace, but she didn't listen and just kept complaining loudly, ruining my birthday. What's more, when I opened the container of the food I took away, it was surprisingly messy, and I will never go there again. I came here for my birthday because of the high ratings. But the experience was terrible. The moment the food arrived, four large kept flies swarming over the dishes, making it impossible to enjoy the meal. I asked the waitress if I could take the food to go, and when I went to the register, the waiter asked me why I was leaving early. I explained it was because of the flies, and he suddenly got angry. He said the flies were not from the restaurant and that there was nothing they could do. I understand that, but I just wanted to leave because I couldn’t eat in peace. He ignored that and kept complaining loudly, ruining my birthday. To make things worse, the takeout containers were a complete mess when I opened them. I will never come here again.

What an amazing man! Olsi Biba was an amazing server that somehow knew extactly what we wanted before we did. Got us burners for flies that were in the area and served us again when we came back for dessert with the same great vibes. The dubai tiramisu was not very strong but delicious. Thank you for the great service!

The restaurant is highly recommended, especially in summer. It's located on the edge of Rothenburg's old town center. It's a bit quieter here, and the chances of getting a table are higher. The restaurant has a lovely outdoor terrace right by the city wall. The food is good and inexpensive. The service is friendly and fast. There's a public parking lot nearby outside the city wall. The building also offers holiday apartments.

An absolutely fantastic Italian restaurant! From the moment you enter, you feel like you're in a real trattoria – cozy, welcoming, and with great attention to detail. The food was consistently fantastic: homemade pasta, stone-baked pizza, and a fish dish in lemon butter that was simply divine. What's particularly great: The restaurant is very family-friendly! Our child was immediately offered a high chair, a children's menu, and even extra fresh strawberries, lovingly prepared upon request. The staff were consistently friendly and attentive, and special requests were fulfilled with a smile. A real highlight – we'll definitely be back! We'd be happy to eat several times a day, which is no problem thanks to the kitchen being open all day and the selection of fresh ice cream.

Super tasty pasta carbonata, price quality very ok

The bolognese was light and delicious. The tomato soup was simply delicious. The staff were friendly and it was great that they were open on Sundays.

Cosy Mediterranean terrace. Friendly waiter. Beautiful location at the wall of the old town. Very tasty pizzas

We spontaneously stopped by for lunch. It's very child- and dog-friendly, with a nice, shady outdoor area right next to the city walls. The pizzas were delicious and arrived quickly! Overall, highly recommended.

Amazing food, friendly staff, good vibes!

We thoroughly enjoyed a delicious pizza and fresh salad here. The flavors were pure and well matched, with a crispy base and fresh ingredients. Friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere made it complete. Definitely recommended if you are in the area!

The food, the staff, the service, everything was great. And the price-performance ratio was excellent. It's a real pleasure to sit here and enjoy the delicious food.

A nice Italian restaurant where pasta and pizzas are also made gluten-free. Gluten-free pizza Aurora was delicious. The staff was very attentive, the service was fast.

They have (or had) a „dubai-chocolat tiramisu“ that is simply fantastic. Overall food is also great, and workers are very nice!

Good food! Very peaceful and quaint restaurant we were served very well by Mr Olsi Biba 👍🏽

Great Italian options ! The staff is great tontourists like us especially Olsi Biba!

From the moment we walked in, we felt warmly welcomed. The atmosphere at Restaurant Michelangelo is charming and elegant without being pretentious — a perfect blend of comfort and class. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor — clearly prepared with care and fresh ingredients. You can taste the passion in the cooking. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauces rich and balanced, and the dessert? Simply unforgettable. Equally impressive was the service — attentive, friendly, and genuinely hospitable. The staff made us feel like honored guests rather than just customers. If you're in Rothenburg, this place is a must. We left full, happy, and already talking about when we’ll be back. Grazie mille to the entire team!

The service here is the best, especially the asparagus risotto👍 The wine is also delicious♡ OISI-san, who is close to oishii in Japanese, is very friendly♡

The dishes and service were very nice!

A must-visit every year 🥰. Great restaurant with excellent Italian food. Everyone is very friendly and the atmosphere is lovely, even on the terrace.

It was our first time there. Unfortunately, the waiter was extremely annoyed and unfriendly. We had to wait a long time to even get a table, even though it was very quiet. We won't be going back to this restaurant.

Many thanks to Olsi, who looked after us wonderfully and gave us excellent advice. Incredible service, excellent food. Go eat there!

Despite the restaurant being full, Mr. Olsi (name tag) allowed us to sit in the garden. We received excellent service and enjoyed four courses with great pleasure.

The restaurant is located in a quiet part of town and offers high-quality food. Courteous service and very reasonable prices. I recommend it.

All the dishes were very satisfying. The Bolognese was not heavy, had a refreshing taste, and was easy to eat. The Neapolitan pizza was more filling than it looked, and was very satisfying! The olives were not too strong, and the anchovy fish was spicy, making it a great match with alcohol. For drinks, I was surprised at how delicious the lemonade beer was. The bitterness typical of beer was not too strong, and the refreshing, pop-like sweetness was addictive. The Dubai Chocolate Tiramisu for dessert was very sweet and delicious! The staff were also very friendly! The bill came to about 45 euros (about 7,600 yen) for two people to share dessert, drinks, pasta, and pizza. It was a very satisfying dinner in terms of both taste and value for money!

Super friendly staff. Delicious gluten-free pizzas.

Excellent food in a beautiful setting. It was the perfect location for our 30th wedding anniversary.

Very friendly. Good service and very tasty food.

An incredible dinner experience tonight thanks to Olsi. His service was above and beyond, genuine and kind. The food was delicious and the wine perfection. Highly recommend and will be returning.

Everything tasted ok, but the service was very good and we enjoyed sitting there and eating!

Really great! The food, desert and service!

Super service despite the crowds, if you are and remain friendly it is ok everywhere, but here it was just good despite the crowds. Keep up the good work Barbara

Everything was wonderful! The waiter Olsi served us, spoke Portuguese and served us very well! It is well worth the visit. We had starter, main course, bottle of wine and dessert!

It was delicious pasta , I really recommend it :)

Excellent pasta, panzerotti and pizza in a great location.

OMG food was amazeballs and the service topnotch. Wow you got to check them out and better make a reservation...

We spontaneously went there for dinner in the evening with two small children; a glass for the little one was warmed up within minutes. Spaghetti and pasta dish were very tasty. The service was as expected, uncomplicated and attentive. Thanks.

We ate there last week on our visit to Rothenburg. The pizzas and lasagna were very tasty, but the pasta dishes were quite lacking. The service is not very friendly.

Load supper Super delicious meal, homemade noodles and supper dessert We would love to come back when we are nearby Thank you very much for the supper

A single waiter serving the outside area.

Delicious and reasonably priced👍

The food was very good! I recommend it! I wanted the carbonara to have more bacon!

The food is simply very good. I found the menu a bit complicated but the service is very good and the atmosphere is pleasant.
