Ristorante Cafe Raffaello in Donauwörth

Very pleasant atmosphere. Excellent cheesecake—at least for me.

Got moldy and completely hardened condensed milk for my coffee.

True Italians who know how to make pasta and pizza. The Gnocci Rafaelo paired beautifully with the lambrusco. It made you feel like you're in Italy. The waiter was very accommodating and understood that I wanted to share the salad with my wife. He then pulled a face when my wife ordered Hawaiian pizza.

Probably the rudest waiters in Germany, if I have great service I leave a great tip, being told the amount I should tip leads me to leaving an insignificant amount, and then the waiter tries to embarrass you into to upping your tip…lol, and apparently your bill will be much higher if you want to pay by card. The staff look like Goodfellas extras and attempt to live up to their intimidating standards, sadly like their service they fail on all counts.

A Keller greeted us with a snarl, so we got up and left.

We were here for lunch yesterday. The food was quite good so far. However, we found the disrespectful attitude of one of the waiters towards women completely unacceptable. We won't be coming back. Moreover, we ordered two dishes in "small," which was supposedly possible. They came in "large" and were charged accordingly.

Service was very unfriendly, we left straight away.

Never in my life have I seen anything as unpleasant and unfriendly as here. I have no idea what the man's name is; if I did, I would mention him by name, but you feel like you're getting your food or ice cream for free and have to endure the unpleasant attitude. What a shame about the beautiful location... I'd really be concerned if I were the owner.

The ice cream may be okay, but the staff completely ruined my visit. Friendliness seems to be a foreign concept here, unfortunately. Instead of smiles, there were annoyed looks and short, rude replies. You felt like you were more of an inconvenience than welcome. It's a shame – a nice atmosphere is of no use if you, as a guest, feel so uncomfortable.

TOURIST TRAP SCAMMING CASH ONLY SALE. Came in and ordered 2 beers, when we went to pay our tab we were told cash only or if we wanted to pay card it would be €20. To pay cash it was €10, despite an unadvertised price and no menu available. Do not go.

Prices are based on whatever the waiter decides and doubles to pay for card. 2 beers were extorted for €20 if we paid card, but for 10€ if paying cash. Well above local market rate 0/10 recommend.

I had to pay an extra two euros for hot sauce, and another two euros for garlic sauce on pizza. That was stated on the bill. It was a disgrace. There are hidden costs, so be careful.

The food is top, service is top and chef is top

Whether you're picking up or eating in, it's always delicious. I also find the ambiance incredibly beautiful, especially in the summer when you can sit by the water. They have everything your heart desires, from cocktails to fresh lobster.

Very good quality for a low price

Ordered an ice cream sundae, but it took a long time. When I asked for a walnut sundae, I was told they could do it, but the existing sundaes should be sufficient. That's just not possible. This felt like the first ice cream parlor without walnut sundaes...

Very tasty food. I drive there every now and then from Augsburg. When the weather's nice, the outdoor seating is very comfortable.

Nice restaurant right on the river! 👍

Very nice people. Large selection of food. We didn't have to wait long for the food. Everything was very good and the portions were large. Good value for money. Nice to sit there by the stream in front of the gate.

Friendly and fast service Very good location Delicious food

The ambiance is very nice, right on the water, but the waiters are constantly feeding ducks, which is a bit unpleasant because the ducks quack incessantly. The menu is, in my opinion, far too long/far too extensive. I ordered orecchiette (under the "pasta" menu) with truffle. The waiter brought them and said, "Your gnocci!" (The owners and the waiters seem to be Italian?) Unfortunately, the orecchiette were very oily, so I ended up with a veritable lake of oil on my plate. We also ordered pizza, which was rather bland (lacking seasoning) and greasy. The food arrived in less than 10 minutes, shortly after we'd finished our drinks. I wonder if the food is freshly prepared?!

Great terrace, bicycles within sight, delicious steak, potatoes and caprese salad but a shame about those noisy neighbours, a lot of screaming, children are reprimanded with shouts and cutlery falls on the floor, which makes everything taste a lot less tasty.

Very friendly and helpful staff...everything was fine, molto bene...

A true Italian. Delicious pizzas and friendly staff. And all in a beautiful location.

Das Personal ist unfreundlich. Zu viele Mücken sind draußen

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.

Excellent authentic Italian cuisine, very fast and friendly service in an upscale ambience, highly recommended

Welcoming place, super friendly and helpful staff, excellent pizza, not to mention the tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms, delicious 😊 Highly recommended

Employees are expected to behave like gentlemen and be more polite and courteous.

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.

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!

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

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

The evening was great and we really enjoyed the surroundings

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

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.

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

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.

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 food and friendly atmosphere🤩

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!

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

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

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

Very tasty pizza and great location

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.

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

Delicious food and drinks Popular prices.

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.
