Restaurant Trattoria de Carmelo in Lauf a.d.Pegnitz

Simply our favorite Italian restaurant in Lauf. Always excellent. Keep it up.

We ate very well and our waiter was extremely nice and accommodating

Great restaurant. The food was incredibly delicious. We had pizza, pasta, steak, and veal liver with great roasted potatoes and a small salad. Before that, we had a really good selection of appetizers with small rolls. In addition to the standard menu, there's a fantastic selection of daily specials. More than just going out for Italian food. The staff is on the ball and very friendly. We'd be happy to come back. Thank you for this wonderful evening.

Leider muss ich sagen, dass entgegen der guten Bewertungen und des guten Rufes mein Besuch genau das nicht bestätigen konnte. Die Portionen sind klein (nur mittags ?) und deswegen erscheint der Preis auch nicht gerechtfertigt. Vom Tisch wo sich die Platte im Eck auflöste weil 5 Latten ausgebrochen waren will ich nicht reden. Aber jeder richtige italienische Koch sollte sich in den Boden schämen die Carbonara mit Sahne zu machen. Schade - ich war wirklich sehr enttäuscht.

Super, super, super delicious salad and swordfish

Nice Italian restaurant in Lauf. Portions large enough. Food delicious.

Compared to many other Italian restaurants in the Nuremberg area, the cuisine here is definitely authentic. I found the Prosecco at first (served in wine glasses) and the Vino de la Casa (bianco) rather average. In Italy, it's a matter of honor for this wine to be good. In Germany, the low purchase price probably counts. The service was very good. Overall, I recommend it.

The food (Calabrese pizza) was so bad. The salami had a bitter aftertaste. The dough wasn't particularly good either. Worst pizza ever. When I asked if it tasted good, I didn't even bother to listen. Therefore, criticism wasn't possible.

All the dishes are delicious and the service is excellent. I will definitely visit this place again when I come to this area!

Best pizzeria in Lauf an der Pegnitz and very good food only at Carmelo in Lauf an der Pegnitz highly recommended

Highly recommended. The atmosphere is very rustic.

This was our first time at this restaurant. The service was very friendly and attentive. The salad was excellent, as was the pizza. We will definitely eat at this pizzeria again when we're in the area again.

It was our first time at this Italian restaurant and we absolutely loved it! The veal, especially the veal liver, was excellently prepared, tender and tasty. The spaghetti carbonara was also very tasty, just like you would want in Italy. The prices are absolutely fair for the quality offered. The service is particularly noteworthy: very friendly, attentive and professional. You really feel welcome. We'll definitely be back!

Good food, nice service, pleasant atmosphere

I have enjoyed coming to the Bräustübla La Trattoria Da Carmelo for many years - and have never been disappointed. What makes this cuisine so special: It is much more than “just” pizza – even if it is of course excellent. I especially love the fresh fish dishes and the creative vegetable creations. If you're in the mood for something special, you should definitely try the antipasti or dishes from the daily menu - here they cook with real passion and great culinary expertise. The atmosphere is warm, the service is friendly and professional - you can feel that real Sicily is being served here. For me, Da Carmelo is one of the best Italian addresses in the region. Thank you for many wonderful evenings – and see you soon! Markus Mertins MERWERT GmbH

Guter Italiener, man bekommt eine rustikale Pizza, man bekommt aber auch einen Oktopus Salat und andere Leckereien. Dazu einen guten Tischwein. Für eine Vorspeise, Pizza oder Pasta, Wein oder Bier muss man knapp 30 € rechnen, das geht in Ordnung.

Honest Italian cuisine without frills but with a twist.

Great, authentic Italian food. Lovely atmosphere. Literally, no wish left unfilled. We'll come back!

Delicious very inexpensive food. The service staff was friendly. I'll be back.

Food was very tasty. Fish is highly recommended here. We had Frittura Mista, it was really good!! Lots of different types of fish and not overly fried. The rest was great too

Very tasty, authentic Italian food. The pasta dishes on the daily menu are varied and always perfectly prepared. I had fussilli with ragout for the first time and it was very tasty and the pasta was perfectly al dente. Always happy to come back!

I was really looking forward to the pasta with salmon and shrimp, but the disappointment and disgust came after the first bites. There was a hair between the noodles! When I pointed this out to the waiter, he offered me another portion, but I had lost my appetite. But I was really disappointed when I was charged the full price. So far Carmelo was my favorite Italian restaurant in Lauf. That has now changed!!!

Good pizza and pasta - salads e.g. seafood salad top… Recommended.

Spaghetti with mussels. Super delicious!

Delicious, rustic, hospitable and Bavarian. Spaghetti carbonara was really good

Filled up spontaneously and deliciously… highly recommended…

Friendly, fast service. Our spaghetti and lasagna were great.

I've been to Carmelo several times. Extremely pleasant atmosphere, very friendly service, super delicious food. Whether with my wife or with friends, always a pleasure! Reservation is recommended.

The dishes on the daily menu are very, very good! Unfortunately, we don't find the pizzas (including bruschetta or pizza pane) good, they are always too sweet/sugared. The service is great and the atmosphere is cozy :)

Carmelo - what can I say 🫶🏼 we enjoy the great, delicious cuisine, the perfect service, the warmth of your trattoria. But above all we love the warmth and friendship ❤️ You have a great team rowing behind you and you are a wonderful person with a feel for what is important 🥰. THANKS! We like to stay loyal - Grazie dal profondo del heart, caro Amico!

A few days ago I ate here again for a very long time. I was in the small outdoor area years ago. I was surprised by the pizza prices. They are really fair! Super tasty too! There are also various other pasta, fish and meat dishes. We'll be back.

The food is really great! The waiter had a lot to do and still remained polite. He tried very hard. Really really great! Rarely found! 👍🏻 Unfortunately the chairs are very uncomfortable.

The restaurant is centrally located in the heart of Lauf. It is cozy and rustically furnished. Due to its popularity, a table reservation is mandatory! Delicious and traditional Italian food. The prices are now a little higher, but the portions are okay. Friendly service. I've been an enthusiastic fan of "spaghetti with mussels" for years and would love to come back.

Pretty little traditional restaurant with still reasonable prices. We liked it.

If credit cards cannot be accepted due to technical problems, you should inform the guest.

Pizza was delicious, tiramisu was unfortunately out.

The food was incredibly good and the prices were low for this good quality. The staff was very nice as was the facility. Extremely recommended. :)

Fantastic food and drink. The spaghetti with mixed mussels and the grilled seafood salad were exceptionally good. The red house wine is also very tasty. The ambience is rustic and yet dignified, but the seating is quite tight. The service is very friendly, but stressful due to the many guests. But that didn't spoil the beautiful evening. We'll definitely be back

We were there by chance. Had seafood pizza and calzones. It was really great and I would love to have a Lamprusco again.

The best Italian I've known in decades. Whether it's a starter, main course or dessert. Highly recommended 👍 The service is also very, very friendly.

Nice restaurant with original Italian flair. The service was quick and friendly. The food was very tasty 😋.

Nice little pizzeria, unfortunately with limited parking. I would describe the food as average for Italian, but moderate prices. Overall totally fine 👍

The best Italian in Lauf!!! Great service, super delicious food!

We've never had a bad meal at Carmelo's. Good and inexpensive. Attentive service. We will come back.

Seit über 20 Jahren der Top Italiener im Großraum Lauf und Umgebung. Spezial sind die Fischgerichte - wie in Sizilien ! Vor allem die Tageskarte ist zu empfehlen! Jedoch - immer ! Reservieren !

This is real Italian food. It has been there for years, always with high quality food. Great little restaurant. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

Very tasty, very versatile. Nice ambience.

Gute Pasta, leckere Saucen, freundlicher Service. Besonderer Vorteil: durchgehend warme Küche, man kann auch am Nachmittag noch was warmes bekommen. Kartenzahlung möglich, sogar mit AMEX

Excellent Italian cuisine with very good service in a pleasant atmosphere in front of the restaurant. The fish and seafood dishes are highly recommended, as are the pizzas. Always my pleasure.

Wow, a really excellent Italian restaurant.

I am always amazed by the delicious Sicilian cuisine at Trattoria da Carmelo.

My absolute favorite stop while traveling on the A9. Great prices for good food in a cozy atmosphere and a beautiful town in the north of Bavaria.

Service was poor, the waiter was totally annoyed, aggressive and ignorant. Rarely have we experienced something like this - we were really horrified! The food was ok and was served differently than we ordered, but after waiting an hour we didn't care. Conclusion: No recommendation for this restaurant, and this service person should consider whether gastro is right for him. Hospitality looks different, sorry!!!

Very friendly service. Just wanted a starter and chose the Carpaccio di Manza. Excellent. What was clever was that there was some green pickled pepper included. Great idea

A cozy restaurant with friendly staff and very good food.

By far the best Italian restaurant in Lauf. In addition to a regular menu, there are a number of recommendations from the kitchen. And that’s what makes the restaurant special. My tagliatelle alla Scoglio - recommended. Plus a glass of red wine. I was completely satisfied. Reasonably priced. Service attentive. Top location.

Food was ok. Otherwise we were pretty much ignored outside. We waited 1h15 for two meals, and when we brought this up, there was no reaction from the waiter, he just answered “yes”.

Absolute recommendation. A very diverse selection of dishes with fresh and many Italian ingredients. I will definitely come again.

Wow, I haven't eaten as excellently as I did here in a long time! The salads are very special and generous. The pasta with seafood and the lasagna are also highly recommended. Thank you for your hospitality, Claudia! I'll be back!

Food very good. Not top class, but really good. Prices are OK. Service was largely good. Chairs are not that comfortable.

My absolute favorite Italian restaurant for years - and not just in Lauf. The food is always top, regardless of whether it's a starter, pasta, pizza, fish or meat. This is probably also the reason why it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a place without a reservation. Consistently great!

Very tasty food, also visually appealing. Friendly service.

Very nice little Italian restaurant, the food was excellent, the welcome and service was very friendly, I would love to come back!

Delicious food, attentive staff

We picked up a pizza and I'm absolutely satisfied, where's the topping please? (ESPECIALLY cheese) Very disappointing

All in all it was a very successful evening with excellent service and excellent food. Highly recommended👍🏻

Great food, wonderful atmosphere

Good service, crispy pizza base, very good spaghetti. Short wait until the food came.

Ate there today. Food was delicious and the Service was exzellent, too

Very good restaurant.👍Highly recommended.

I was there for the first time. Spagetti Carbonara is on the menu with SNOW, BUT I thought it was great that when I asked, they even made Italian Carbonara WITHOUT cream The food was a dream and the Italian flair was not neglected.

-Upscale Italian restaurant -Food was very tasty, large selection of different dishes -rustic guest room -Service worker was very stressed, the restaurant was full -Price performance for me so-so... I find the prices very expensive, Italian food can also be cheaper

Top food, great service and the ambience is also impressive. I was thrilled and will definitely be there more often 😉

schönes italienisches Restaurant mit den Klassiker Nudeln und Pizza, aber auch Angebote auf der Tafel mit Fisch und Fleisch. Reservierung erforderlich. Wartezeit auf das Essen normal

Essen war sehr fein. Freundlicher Service. War sehr gut besucht.

Schönes Restaurant, sehr freundlicher Service und angenehmes Ambiente. Auch wenn es voll ist, bleibt die Lautstärke auf einem guten Niveau. Der große Salat ist in vergleichbaren Restaurants deutlich umfangreicher, daher nur 4 Sterne. Ansonsten Tip top Essen und Getränke!

Sehr gutes Essen, top Service, günstige Preise.

Bardzo dobra restauracja z kuchnią włoską z przystępnymi cenami. Bogata karta z dużym wyborem dań oraz pizzą.

Schönes gemütliches Ambiente, Preis-Lestung top, netter Service! Wir kommen wieder :)

Ein kleines italienisches Restaurant im Herzen der Altstadt, in Lauf an der Pegnitz. 🍝🍕🇮🇹 Das Restaurant ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und wirkt mit dem urigen Stil und dem dunklen Holz sehr gemütlich. Das Personal ist stets freundlich und aufmerksam und das Essen unfassbar gut. Reservierung ist hier von Vorteil!

.. auch im 1. Stock war jeder Platz besetzt, somit war es doch ziemlich laut.

Es war AUSSERGEWÖHNLICH lecker. Wurden herzlich empfangen und haben soo gut gegessen. Die Arrabiata, die Pizza, das Vitello Tonato und der Salat waren sensationell. Kulinarisch gesehen, war es eine Reise nach Sizilien. Wir kommen wieder :) Graziee

Essen sehr lecker, nur leider darf man nicht herkommen wenn man 3 h nach der Reservierung einen Termin hat, haben insgesamt 1,5 Stunden auf unser Essen gewartet, leider sehr schade

Leckeres Essen, frisch zubereitet. Die Karte ist anspruchsvoll und gut zusammengestellt. Keine 0815-Nummer und preislich dennoch fair. Wir kommen gerne wieder:-)

Nach langer Zeit mal wieder bei Carmelo. Preis / Leistung stimmt leider nicht mehr. Qualität der Spaghetti Scoglio hat ziemlich nachgelassen.

Sehr schönes Lokal, das Essen war super lecker und die Portion war groß. Das Preisleistungs Verhältnis ist sehr gut. Kommen gerne wieder.

Hervorragender Italiener. Qualität vom Essen ist sehr sehr hoch. Sehr schöne Atmosphäre man fühlt sich wie in Italien. Sehr freundlicher Service.

Schmackhaftes Essen, gerade der Fisch, und eine aufmerksame Bedienung runden den schönen Abend ab.

Bardzo dobre jedzenie w przystępnej cenie. Miła i szybka obsługa.

Nettes italienisches Restaurant mit wirklich tollen Gerichten. Wir wurden ohne Reservierung untergebracht und saßen zu zweit an einem 8er-Tisch. Location ist sehr rustikal und auch ganz hübsch dekoriert. Der Service war aufmerksam. Eine "ordentliche" Speisekarte gab es leider nicht. Auf dem Tisch lagen 2 abgeranzte Flyer wie beim Dönermann um die Ecke. Nicht annähernd so ansprechend wie es für dieses Lokal passen würde. Auf einer Kreidetafel stehen, leider schlecht lesbar, weitere Gerichte zur Auswahl. Wir hatten gegrillte Meeresfrüchte auf einen gemischten Salat, Bruschetta und Linguini mit Lachs. Preislich voll in Ordnung und echt lecker 👍 Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Sehr belebt, was immer auf gute Qualität deutet. Sehr gute Pizza, freundliches Personal, relativ preiswert.

Bester Italiener in Lauf 🇮🇹mit einer wechselnden Tageskarte die Fleischgerichte sind wirklich hervorragend.

So liebe ich Italien 🇮🇹 Super leckeres Essen, nette Bedienung und immer ein Spaß auf den Lippen. Schöner kleiner Innenhof mit Liebe zum Detail. Ist im Sommer unser Lieblings Italiener, Vegetarische Pizza und alkoholfreies Weißbier geht immer 👍 Dankeschön an das Team

Überragender Chef - top Essen - Super Personal

Nettes Restaurant, kleiner Außenbereich. Sehr gutes Essen mit wechselnder Wochenkarte. Service sehr freundlich.

Waren schon ein paar Mal dort. Das Essen ist super, der Service auch und im Lokal ist es rustikal, aber gemütlich. Der Außenbereich ist klein, aber leider direkt an der Straße zum Marktplatz gelegen und da ist es ziemlich laut.

Polecam serdecznie😋. Miejsce z klimatem, miła obsługa i jedzenie wyborne🥂. Miłe zaskoczenie podczas obsługi jeśli chodzi o komunikacje w moim ojczystym języku. Na samym końcu wizyty, ale lepiej późno niż wcale . Na pewno wrócimy 👌

Essen war gut, wir haben sofort einen Tisch bekommen.

Sehr sehr zu empfehlen! Gutes leckeres Essen!!🙏👍✨️ Das einzige Manko: wenig vegane Optionen 😪 man muss mit der Nachfrage gehen und viele schauen online schon, wie ich beispielsweise, ob es vegane Gerichte gibt..Wenn dies nicht der Fall ist, komme Menschen die aus den verschiedensten Gründen nicht ALLES Essen nicht 🫢🫣🫶

Sehr schönes, kleines Restaurant. Leckeres Essen und nette Servicekräfte. Preislich ist es absolut in Ordnung. Kann man weiter empfehlen.
