Ristorante Cafe Raffaello in Donauwörth

If you like to pay 10 euros for a watered down tonic and an espresso, this is the place to be. In fairness the espresso tasted good. But the prices are ridiculous.

After years, we visited the restaurant again and were looking forward to the Sorento salad. Unfortunately, I had to take a closer look halfway through and realized there were maggots in the salad! The only small apology came from the waiter when we pointed it out, and that was it! This shouldn't happen. The only thing I got was a €10 discount. That restaurant won't see me (us) again.

Le seul restaurant à servir jusqu’à 23h à Donauworth. Accueil chaleureux malgré une arrivée tardive. Un grand Merci. Personnel en nombre qui assure un service rapide et de qualité. Cadre superbe au pied d’un monument historique, au cœur de la vile historique et terrasse immense. Rapport qualité prix imbattable. Les pâtes sont servies avec générosité. Et très très bien cuisinées. Bolognaises ou palourdes, j’ai retrouvé la qualité que je cherche dans un restaurant italien. Parmesan en quantité. Chose rare. Je recommande fortement

Delicious food and pleasant service.

Very nice ambiance on Wörntz Island. Nice chef and friendly staff.

I ordered a vegetarian pizza, which the accompanying picture showed was attractively topped with eggplant and zucchini. The pizza I received bore no resemblance to the picture and consisted mainly of pepperoni and four small slices of zucchini. Upon request, they placed chopped fried eggplant pieces on top of the same pizza and served it very rudely. The pizza was no longer lukewarm and tasted accordingly bad. The service was definitely different, and unfortunately, no apology... Caution

Had a nice meal here after a long day.

We ordered two pizzas to go on Whit Monday, June 9, 2025 (online price: €10 each). When we picked up the pizzas, they charged €12.50 each. That alone is brazen and outrageous, and the conditions were also condescending, arrogant, and unfriendly. When we opened the package at home, we were literally starving. We had never seen a pizza covered in such a spartan and careless way as this one. If we had seen it beforehand, we would have returned the pizzas, and we wouldn't have paid a cent. The same was reflected in my taste. We had never experienced such a completely overpriced, total rip-off. It's truly amazing that anyone still goes to such "places."

Very nice place. Delicious Italian food. Great service 🙂

Decent food paired with abysmal service. The waiters are rude, vain, and loud. They chased us away when our glasses weren't empty in order to make money from other guests. Everyone was irritated by this. Service is provided by frantic shouting instead of coming to the table.... Therefore, the nice ambiance is also ruined. We won't go there again!

Unfortunately, the visit was very disappointing! The waiters were very stressed and brought my friend the wrong food. After a long discussion, the correct food, the one I ordered, was finally brought. My salad came without dressing, even though I had ordered it with dressing as usual, and it was confused with my friend's request for the salad without dressing. Despite the stress, it would have been wise to take the time to take the order... You're practically yelled at, asking whether you want to pay with cash or card. That's not what friendliness looks like... A real shame!

Good service and consistently delicious food and drinks.

The service was very friendly and quick. The food was very good and the portions were plentiful. So, I definitely recommend it 😁

We were there a few days ago and wanted to sit in the shade, but we weren't helped: they didn't put up any umbrellas, nor did they move a table into the shade. We ended up having to do it ourselves, as we weren't allowed to sit at a table for six, which was the only one still in the shade. Then a few menus and the ice cream menu were thrown onto the table. Not a minute later, another waiter came and was about to take our food order, but we were just opening the menu. The food arrived quickly, but no one asked if it was tasty, if there was anything missing, or anything else. Salt and pepper, oil and vinegar, and Parmesan cheese were all placed on the table without a word. We received a much friendlier and more courteous service, even here. The toilet seat was also completely missing, which was the icing on the cake. This time there was no tip – the seemingly arrogant way we were treated doesn't suit the hospitality industry. Conclusion: 1 star deducted for the service and 1 star deducted for the restroom. It could be much better!

Very good food and super friendly staff. Also excellent team coordination, resulting in quick and professional service.

A very good restaurant on the island of Ried, offering a wide range of dishes: appetizers and salads, main courses, and desserts. I had one of the daily specials: Gorgonzola Lasagna. Very filling, but delicious and out of the ordinary. My companion had the Sorrento Salad without ham and with oil instead of dressing, light and delicious. For dessert, there was ice cream and a cocktail. There was something for everyone. We sat outside and enjoyed the last rays of sunshine with a glass of wine. A lovely end to the day. 👌

The ambience is perfect, service is very friendly, unfortunately the price does not match the quality

Just had a drink outside...service staff were no longer attentive after we just wanted a drink.

as an Italian on holiday in Bavaria I can say that I ate an excellent pizza... well done... plus a delicious aroma came from the nearby tables

Here for the first time! Great service, quick service, great pizzas! Price/performance totally ok!

The evening was great and we really enjoyed the surroundings

I think the prices are too high for the service provided. In addition, the pizza crust was not fully baked in the thick areas. I would describe the taste of the pizza as average. No longer a starting point for me.

Perfectly located, nice and very fast service. For me a perfect stop for lunch on a long bike ride. Almost “too much” salmon in the pasta for my taste 😅

Giuseppe best employees 💪 Food was also really tasty

Very good food, sitting on the terrace when the weather is nice, always nice!

We were there yesterday afternoon with two small children and were very satisfied. The food was delicious and the staff was nice and helpful. We'll definitely come back. 💟

Hahahaah lächerliche pizza ! Ein witz !! Ich hab gesagt extra Broccoli und extra Käse, nichts war drauf ! Kein Geschmack nichts ! Gebt es denn Katzen 🐱

Not really, waiters were quite curt even though there was little going on. My wife's cheesecake was good. The bruschetta with mozzarella, ham and mushrooms was nothing. Tomato was an imposition to tasteless cold storage tomatoes. The taste of the mushrooms is non-existent. The rest is OK, but the seasoning of the rest is rather bland...

Very nice waiter, great service Completely satisfied, we had a table upstairs with a view

The atmosphere was very nice and the food was very tasty

Mezzo without mix is ​​all I say 😃😉🍷

We've been there several times and it's always been delicious and fresh! Can only be recommended 👌🏼

I got a different dish than what I ordered, the waiter said it was the old waiter's fault. My colleagues liked it, but I personally can't recommend it.

Yes, I can 100% only recommend food was very good and above all very nicely located was surprised 👍👍👍👍

Nice cafe. Great location by the water.

We went for lunch. The Italian cuisine is excellent and the service is also very accommodating.

Classic old-established Italian. Cafe and restaurant.

Cozy Italian restaurant with very good and friendly service 😃 great ambience. Nice view and good central location next to the parking garage. Food was good 👍 👌 pizza pasta and salad

Gutes Restaurant mit sehr schönem Außenbereich mitten in Donauwörth. Tolle Speisekarte. Parkmöglichkeiten gibt es in den umliegenden Parkhäusern.

Very tasty food with a view of the river, with nice staff Xxxxx stars

Everything was excellent. Thank you very much

Cappuccino Grande like it was 20 years ago, still 😋

bad service, tasteless food (especially desserts). the waiter is unpleasant, unhelpful

Very good food. Very nice service.

Nice prices Delicious food Annoying waiters

Everything was almost perfect. The pinsa was the best ever, the rigatoni alforno very good and the bruschetti were fresh, crunchy and high quality. Only the head waiter is a bit strange.

Great food and service is also good

Very nice outdoor area, good food, nice service.

Delicious food, service very nice and accommodating and the location - a dream!

Ein arroganter Ober der seine Eissorten nicht kennt, aber er weis was er nicht hat. Eisgeschmack desaströs schlecht und schmuddelig!!! Und nun der Preis pro Kugel Euro 2,00 für eine Kugel geschmackbefreites Eis. am Ende der Welt in Donauwörth!!

Very good and romantic restaurant and evening restaurant. In the summer there is also a great ice cream parlor with seating right by the water

Beautiful location on the water with a large terrace. The staff have a great time with each other and are very noisy. The food was disappointing, my pasta didn't have much taste, the same for my partner's pinsa. Very unfortunate.

The waiters are more occupied with themselves. Do the job you have to do, please! Take care of your guests. Have had spaghetti with shrimps. Tasteless! Even the coffee was not good. Avoid this place.

Everything was great. Very nice service. Quietly located at the Ried Gate, directly on the watercourse!

After a long time we finally managed to eat here again - and the food was still mega delicious.

A heterogeneous experience. Correct and good cuisine but servers either bitter or unfocused. On 2 visits, the server made a mistake 2x. Otherwise the setting is really beautiful and the decor pleasant. It's a nice stopover without being an obligatory stop.

Two stars overall. Unfortunately I can't give more. The food gets two stars from me. Pizza was dry...tasted ok. Price performance ok. Service: 1 star. For the reason that our waiter was so amazing! Was rude!!! We had a great time! Felt uncomfortable and won't come back because of him. Older gentleman, (blue?), round glasses, black hair. Not even properly greeted...we came with our little son. There wasn't a high chair in sight, so until we found one we took a neighboring table chair (no one was sitting there) and sat on it. When we were sitting in peace, the waiter came, arrogantly shook his head and "threw" the menus on the table, not even giving them to us. We then quickly looked around for a high chair, which we do anyway The waiter came at the same moment and angrily took the 3rd chair that had been provided and said indignantly that he could now use the table from which we had removed the chair. I understand that is important. Nevertheless, they could have brought us a children's chair directly at the beginning (I know a few restaurants where this is the case. That would have been really great service...), or they could have asked us in a friendly manner But we should have gotten one IMMEDIATELY ;) Then the good man wouldn't have had to be upset...we were there in the restaurant for the first time and couldn't find a child's chair even when we did In the end, when he asked if the food was tasty and honest, he wasn't really constructive, but rather mushy...that the pizza should be so dry...specialty...that's how it should be. But the atmosphere was very nice. Beautiful in the Donauwörther Ried. On the water. In short...I wasn't really impressed. And we won't be coming back. The other staff, who unfortunately didn't serve us, looked really great from afar!!! Friendlier.

Unfreundlich ohne Ende, wie ich es in einem Restaurant bis jetzt noch nie erlebt habe, das Essen teuer und überhaupt nichts besonderes geschmacklich. Einziges Glück was sie haben, ist die top Lage. Wir werden diese Pizzeria auf jeden Fall nicht mehr betreten!!!

Nice place on the island. Ice cream was good, tiramisu was good. Service friendly.

Good pizza! Friendly, young waiter. Since we sat outside, we were also able to observe hungry ducks. The affogato at the end was really nice!

Good food and friendly atmosphere🤩

Rests completely on the good location. The location is of course the best in Donauwörth but the food tastes, and there's really no other way to say it, like it comes from a can or a package.

Very idyllic restaurant in the old town

Very tasty pizza and great location

We only ate an ice cream sundae. It was delicious and the service was friendly. Lots of places outside. Prices normal.

Super lecker, überaus nette, aufmerksame Bedienung. Ruhig gelegen im beschaulichen Altstadtteil beim Bach. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Good food, good service and nice cozy outdoor terrace

You can sit outside very nicely. Service is friendly and attentive, food arrived after a short time and tasted okay.

Delicious food and drinks Popular prices.

Services top Eating too little bread with the salad Price well for a salad 14-15 euros a bit expensive

The Ristorante is a place that you can visit again and again without asking! Stars and Stripes are eligible!

The best fish dish, fast service and very friendly staff. Prices are super good.

An absolutely cozy café and restaurant with really good food at an acceptable price. A nice place in the fresh air. We'd love to come back

Always my pleasure. Delicious food, friendly staff and a lovely outdoor terrace in summer.

My husband and I took an extra 80 km detour today because we have often eaten well in this pizzeria. But unfortunately we were really disappointed this time. The waitress (only server 5 was listed on the bill) often made fun of us because we had ordered bruschetta, pizza, salad and lasagne. We were hungry and wanted to take the leftovers with us for the next day. I haven't experienced such rude, arrogant service in a long time. Unfortunately, the food didn't taste as good as usual. Everything was very tasteless. Bruschetta bread wasn't warm/toasted and the tomatoes tasted old. Salt and pepper were only made available to us after repeated requests and for a limited period of time. Even when paying, the waitress (No. 5) asked scornfully whether you had done everything... It's a real shame, but we'll definitely never go there again!!

The service (older gentleman with blue glasses and short hair) was EXTREMELY unfriendly. No smile, no proper greeting, no “bon appetit”, no decorum. As a guest you don't have to put up with such passive-aggressive behavior and disrespect. First and last time in this restaurant.

Although the food was really very good, I can't give it more than 1 star because the behavior of the waiters was unpleasant from start to finish. Every time we interacted with the waiters, a cheeky comment or joke was made at our expense to the amusement of the staff. Our waiter supposedly couldn't speak German and was amused by how we tried to order in English. My companion's order was also wrong (perhaps they should have listened rather than laughed at us), but what he brought was much better anyway. Other guests had their food packed up and we were allowed to do it ourselves at the table and burn our hands on the hot dish. To top it all off, our tip was rejected with “I don't have any change, it's fine.” because they were too lazy to give out €4 instead of a €5 note. I have no idea what problem they had with us. Maybe it was because we were 2 women and didn't feel like going to the comedy show. If a man had been there, there might have been more respect. Even though it was delicious, we will definitely never come back.

Nice and very quiet location at the Ried Gate, right on the watercourse! Wonderful ambience! Friendly service, pizza 🍕 and pasta 🍜 okay.

Very good variety of Italian dishes and desserts. Very good tiramisu.Nice view of the main square.

The tiramisu was great quality and fresh. Service was quick too.

A very nice place to celebrate festivities. Gladly again.

A great Italian restaurant, friendly staff, delicious food and a brilliant location.

Very nicely located but prices are higher than the food. Sundaes do not correspond at all to the pictures on the menu. Some of the staff seem very arrogant.

Excellent service and great food.

We love this restaurant. The food is always very good and the waiters are very friendly and respond to requests. The ice cream also tastes great.

Very tasty food and good service

The ice cream was, in my opinion, quite bad. Too watery. Not good taste. Service: Unfortunately the waiter who served us wasn't that well looked after :( Ambience is very nice. Indoors and outdoors. It was my first time there, and if I'm back in DON I'll of course give it a second chance. Then maybe the rating changes to positive.

We were here during a bike tour at lunchtime, we were a large group, and were totally surprised at how quickly and very friendly our orders were taken. The Service and the food was just great. We would love to come back here

We come regularly and always go home very happy and full. Today we had spaghetti aglio e olio for the first time and I can only recommend this dish. It was just perfect!!!! Just like the warm service as always. Thank you!!!

Quiet and pretty location by the water, away from the very noisy main street. Very friendly service. My beef fillet was of first-class quality, the side dishes were cooked to perfection, and the portion was surprisingly large. Terrific. The dishes my companions served were also very good. Priced more than appropriate. 10/10

Condition recorded correctly was directed incorrectly. Condition asked if we would still take it and then we got the right thing within a short time.

The place is always busy for the time, no matter when we set up. The rooms inside or the terrace outside are suitable for any weather and are always looked after by a sufficient number of good staff. The food offers a wide selection, but still always has lots of fresh ingredients. Ice cream to take away always works without any problems as a dessert, even if everything is full and the kitchen is glowing red. Drinks are good and the waiters know what wine tastes like. Prices are cheap for a poor Stuttgarter, and for others cheaper than the quality corresponds. Amount of food: plan to take some with you for the next day.

Today I once again had a very positive experience at Cafe Raffaello because of the great staff. Eating out with two small children is often quite stressful and we broke two full glasses in a short space of time. The waitresses handled the situation in a very relaxed manner and had a funny, friendly saying in store. Extremely hospitable and accommodating. We felt very comfortable. Families are warmly welcome here. Regardless, there are 33cm large and good wood-fired pizzas at fair prices in a charming outdoor area. A perfect setting for a good meal, a very good restaurant.

Very good pizza in an attractive atmosphere in the middle of the city on an island.

Salad served on very good pizza dough. Pleasant place. On the other hand, the service is not up to par at all: staff are barely friendly!

A place to feel good! Best, friendly service. Excellent Italian food. A beautiful restaurant and the inviting plaza where you can enjoy the sun round off the whole experience.

Always delicious food. Very good service, friendly atmosphere. Especially homemade pasta dishes. Good selection of pizzas, also gluten free. Varied cuisine. Great sundaes, delicious cocktails.

Very nice Italian restaurant on two levels in the middle of the city. There is a parking garage right next to it and also on a kind of market square. You can also sit outside. The typical Italian dishes are very good and really filling. One can certainly speak of an “upscale” pizzeria.

A very nice Italian. Delicious food and a great ambience. Always my pleasure.

Food ordered didn't contain all the ingredients it was supposed to have. Italian-speaking staff had fun when we got more peppers instead of artichokes!!!...no need to say more. Never again!!!
