Ristorante Ciao Ciao in Timmendorfer Strand

Very nice and friendly service. Food very tasteful and good, plenty of drinks to choose from. Gladly again.

An Evening of Light and Shadow Overall, it was a lovely evening – the ambiance seamlessly matched the holiday mood and created a pleasant atmosphere. However, the culinary experience left much to be desired. The pizza was unimpressive, and the lasagna was quite small for the price. The service was particularly disappointing: After the meal was served, our table seemed forgotten. No questions were asked about dessert or any other requests – in the end, we had to actively make ourselves known to even pay. I would have liked to try the homemade tiramisu, but when guests are ignored like that, it gives the impression that there's no need to generate sales or even regular customers. Equally noticeable was the constant change of waiters – a certain restlessness in the service that further tarnished the overall impression. Well, I guess you can get away with that with tourists. However, I won't be visiting this restaurant a second time.

Very tasty and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

The price/performance ratio is good. The service is very friendly and attentive.

We got a seat without a reservation, the pizza was great and the service was very friendly.

Great food and a very nice cozy atmosphere. Very nice, cheerful staff. Great value for money. We'll definitely be back.

I really like it here, unfortunately you have to make a reservation, spontaneously it is rarely possible

Very friendly service. Good Italian food.

Very good food at reasonable prices. The service is also very good. Absolutely recommended.

Great restaurant. Authentic, super friendly and accommodating. Great service. We sat outside, under the heater no problem and our dog was also pampered. We had pizza and pasta and ate very, very well. Total recommendation.

Very nice service and delicious food! :) Unfortunately we didn't have a reservation and sat in the porch, which was a bit cool despite the heater. However, this had no impact on the visit, we'll be happy to come back :)

Very tasty and friendly service. We'd love to come back!

Very friendly staff. Service was attentive but not intrusive. The food was perfect. Thank you very much and I'll be happy to come back!

In search of a good Italian restaurant, our trip led us to Ciao Ciao. We really liked the covered outdoor area with the trees integrated into the roof. Overall, the order was quick and the food came quickly. The portions were "normal", the taste was below average for an Italian. Not a disaster, but not really good either. Little taste and spice, little creativity and no concept on the plate. So we skipped dessert and left after almost exactly 30 minutes.

Found the portion size of the lasagne to be too small. Otherwise there were plenty of tables, it was easy to find space.

Good service, food was served quickly. Pizza is very tasty

Simply delicious and super friendly people. Always my pleasure

Very highly recommended. Extremely friendly staff, excellent food, fresh and tasty, great value for money. My girlfriend and I are coming back on Thursday. Update: Went here again after 2 years and it was just as delicious as back then. Pictures attached, look forward to next time

Wonderfully loud, nice, familiar Italian who just always goes and has fortunately survived all adversities such as Corona, inflation, etc. so far

Classic German Italian Restaurant. Ideal for strengthening yourself after a long day at the beach. The food is consistently delicious and at a good price, but nothing particularly out of the ordinary. But you can easily visit.

Very good Italian restaurant. The homemade noodles are very tasty. Pizza as it should be. But the absolute highlight is the dessert. We had the panna cotta with pistachio cream, wow, simply amazing. The chocolate cake with the liquid center is also great. Highly recommended.

A wonderful Italian restaurant, with remarkable food and very attentive staff.

Nice Italian restaurant where the price-performance ratio is still right. Nice, friendly staff.

Super delicious! Great and friendly service.

Very tasty food, but not filling in terms of quantity, even though we usually leave something left over. The price is acceptable for the quality, but too expensive for the small quantity. Outdoor seating in the pavilion was too cool in the wind and storm despite the heater, which disrupted the ambience. Despite the justified criticism, we would recommend the restaurant because of the delicious dinner.

We were at Ristorante Ciao Ciao on January 1st and January 3rd, 2025 and were immediately taken to a table both times (without a reservation) and served in a very friendly manner. The staff is very attentive and very friendly towards both children and animals, which we have observed several times. The food was brought quickly and tasted excellent. If we come to Timmendorfer Strand again, we will definitely come here again.👍🏻😋

Very nice service. We enjoyed it very much. We will definitely visit the restaurant again this week.

Unfortunately today's visit was not pleasant. The waiter was completely stressed and annoyed. The card was quickly pressed into your hand and immediately taken away again. After asking about a gluten-free dish, a gnocchi variant was offered that didn't taste good. Too much dough and it became im Just mouth a lot of mush. Pizzas were very great, but what was overshadowed was that no one cleared away and no one was approachable about the dessert menu. We then got the menu ourselves and when I spoke to the waiter, he boldly said that exercise was good. This was not professional treatment of guests and also not hospitality. Apparently guests who you have known for a long time and where the tip is right were simply more interesting. It's a shame but we won't be coming here again because of the service

We felt very comfortable and welcome. The food was again extremely tasty and the espresso is always a pleasure. We'll definitely be back soon 😀

We all had pizza and really loved it!!!! Cross on the outside, super topped and very tasty! Super nice service, great evening. And yes, we'll be back!

Excellent food Service is partly very good, partly could be improved. We wanted to eat there on Sunday. The restaurant was well filled. It was impossible for the two female service staff to reserve a table for us later. On Wednesdays the service was significantly better. Good price-performance ratio

As always, great food and very nice service! As always, we were greeted warmly and got a table straight away, even without a reservation. We'll be back!

Very good Italian, friendly service, delicious food, gladly again!

A lovely evening with great service and good food. Employees very motivated. We haven't eaten such delicious pizza for a long time. Prices are reasonably good. We'd love to come back.

I haven't eaten such delicious Italian food in a long time. A dream. All the waitresses were super nice and accommodating despite the hustle and bustle in the restaurant. A special highlight was the chocolate cake with a liquid center as dessert

Warm welcome, relaxed atmosphere, the restaurant was beautifully decorated and the food was also very good 👍 is on the list for your next vacation

We were warmly greeted. Unfortunately, we were initially forgotten afterwards, which was probably due to the very full restaurant. We were then treated to a very friendly welcome. The wait was more than worth it! The lasagne and homemade pasta with vegetables and turkey in turmeric sauce were excellent. My companion even ordered a second portion of lasagna because it was so great. The house wine, the panna cotta and the chocolate cake were also a 10 out of 10. Gladly again at any time!

Top service: fast and super friendly. Very tasty food. Pasta on point. Carbonara tastes very good. Tiramisu perfect.

Very friendly staff, food was very tasty, all special requests were implemented.

Great service and super delicious truffle pasta. Absolutely recommended.

Eat like in Italy! Pizza is cut at the table! And special requests, such as Amaretto Spritz, were catered for!

Rarely have you received and eaten in such an unfriendly manner. I ordered a mineral water without bubbles and was given it, then the waiter was too busy to indicate this. Food arrived quickly after ordering. The pasta was too al dente and tasteless, with 5 overcooked shrimp. Even with some extra salt it was unedible. The lasagna, on the other hand, was overcooked and lacked the béchamel sauce that was described on the menu. Every table with pasta had cheese on the table. We did not see the service at the table again until we had already had our plates set aside for 10 minutes. Within 45 minutes we were gone again with a bad feeling. Staff didn't seem approachable or available for conversation, so we quickly left. I would have preferred to give minus stars, but unfortunately that is not possible. 1 star that by God's grace they had room for us. It was worth crying.

Nette Personal, Pizza, Pasta, Grazia!!

Great menu, with interesting variations, well prepared. Great, fast and friendly service.

A great restaurant. The price/performance ratio is very good. Friendly service and the food is very tasty. Definitely worth a visit.

Good food, good price, great service in a simple atmosphere. Here you can get great food at fair prices. The atmosphere was characterized by the people working quickly and friendly. You have the feeling of eating in a family restaurant.

Very tasty Italian dishes such as Vitello Tonnato. And prices are moderate for Timmendorf. Table reservations are necessary as there is a lot of demand.

Have eaten in the restaurant repeatedly. Really great service and the food deserved a straight A. Thank you for that.

Nice waiters and operators. Delicious noodles

We've been there several times now and tried different dishes. All I can say is, it's a shame it's not around the corner from where I live. Very tasty and very nice staff. We always sat in the winter garden in front of the actual building and with the tree and plants around it it is idyllic. First point of contact when we are there on vacation.

The two of us were there without a reservation and got a table straight away, even though it was quite full. The waitresses were super friendly and attentive. The food (bruschetta, pizza and gnocci) was very tasty. We felt very comfortable. Clear recommendation.

You get wonderful food here, everything very tasty and tasty. The employees are all very nice and accommodating...we would love to come back here 👌

The food is good but the service is very slow.

Food came very quickly and was very tasty. Service is attentive, friendly and quick.

I think you should and must make a reservation. We made reservations and it went great! Afterwards we saw at least 3 couples being sent away because they hadn't made a reservation. And believe me, the reservation makes sense. You get very good food here!!! I had veal liver with sage. The liver was absolutely on point, super tender and delicate sage flavor. So my request to the chef: Please, please keep it up!!!

Friendly, quick service. Food prepared and tasted great

This restaurant impressed us twice during our vacation! The atmosphere is warm and cozy and you immediately feel welcome. Although you can make reservations, it was no problem getting a spot spontaneously on both visits. The food is absolutely delicious - from the fresh pizzas to the homemade pasta dishes, everything is prepared with love. The service is attentive and friendly, which completes the entire experience. You can dine on site or order take-away meals. A real insider tip for anyone who wants to enjoy Italian cuisine in Travemünde!

We were at Ciao ciao today and wanted to enjoy a nice end to our stay in Timmendorf. We specifically booked a table there again because the pizzas were delicious the last time we were there! Unfortunately nothing came of it. The drinks are simply touched at the top of the glass and placed on the table! I had ordered a small bottle of water and received water (already served in a glass) that was already stale!! Unfortunately, our food (Pizza Mediterranean and Pizza Mare) was cold and totally dry! The dough is very sticky! The waiter didn't even ask if everything was good! When we complained, the service employee told us that the main thing was that they were full!!! In this house, the idea of ​​service should be reconsidered! It's a shame, only measurements apply here and no longer class as before!

We enjoyed a very nice, cozy atmosphere there...our pasta dish was extremely tasty...the staff were very nice and accommodating 👌...We would love to go back here

The staff was very friendly and nice. For an Italian restaurant you just had to order spaghetti and it was delicious with the apple juice. The prices were okay. (€13 for spaghetti, €3.50 for apple juice) Definitely recommended.

Were not served when out of the house, even though there was nothing going on in the restaurant

We got a spot straight away without a reservation. I have some intolerances, but that wasn't a problem at all. Everyone in the service team was super nice and the food was also super delicious! A big recommendation for delicious pizza with good service! :)

Service very good, my noodles very tasty

From A to Z extremely friendly and comtent and very tasty food. If you can't wait a moment, you should make a reservation in advance.

We were pleasantly surprised. The food came after just 10 minutes, even though the shop was full. Without a reservation you have no chance here. The staff is really very friendly. The food was super delicious. Everything great!!!

Very tasty and large portion. Staff very friendly

Very great location on Timmendorfer Strand. We were there several times and were more than satisfied with the pizza, pasta and salad. Everything tasted excellent and the service was consistently friendly and very attentive.

Unfortunately I can't understand all the good reviews. We ordered rump steak, which was actually mostly fat. Unfortunately it wasn't fried medium, it was rather raw. My tagliatelle with mushrooms and cream sauce wasn't good either. Unfortunately, I didn't have a great night. The atmosphere in the awning/building is more like a train station hall. Too bad. But the service was nice and good.

We waited at the waiting counter for 20 to 25 minutes without being asked first if there were people waiting without a reservation. To then be told, in a slightly arrogant manner, "there are no free tables here without an order", even though 6 tables for four were free the whole time. It would have been nice to find out while waiting, so we could have saved time finding another restaurant. I would like to mention that we have been at Timmendorfer Strand for a few days and have been to three restaurants where there was always the possibility of getting a table for two people even without ordering. It's a shame, we would have liked to experience what the food is like in this restaurant!

Super nice staff, reservations are recommended but they always try to find a free table. Very tasty food, everything tastes excellent, short waiting times, fair prices. We've been enjoying coming here for years.

Staff and food was very good. And all at a fair price. We'd love to come back.

The food was delicious and the service was very attentive. Reservation recommended.

We spontaneously decided to visit this restaurant. The service was very friendly and implemented special requests well. We all had different pizzas and agreed that it tasted very good. In fact, I hadn't had pizza this good in a long time. We would come back at any time. Super recommended. We didn't have to wait long, even though the restaurant was busy.

...this was our first choice for dinner. Such nice service, delicious food and in general...

The pizza was very good. It was very quick and the service was very nice and friendly.

Attentive service staff, food very good! But you should make a reservation, it's always very busy 👍

Very good homemade pasta with incredibly great and friendly staff

We are totally thrilled. From the service, the ambience and even more from the food. Kudos to the kitchen and the waiters. Ciao

Because of the good rating on Google, we walked an extra 10 minutes out of town. And as it turned out, it wasn’t worth it “at first.” We were there around 5:30 p.m. without a reservation. The shop opens at 5 p.m. and there was still quite a lot available. We asked for a table for 4 people. The employee looked for a long time at his list, which didn't contain much information about the time. Then the answer came: “only until 7:00 p.m.” Logically, we answered yes, because 1.5 hours is usually enough. The employee ran away quite quickly and we just had the chance to shout that we would like to sit outside. As we walked away we heard another “No”. Then we left. That was our visit with a really very unpleasant experience and a feeling of being rather unwanted there. But it wouldn't have been really outside anyway as there was only a winter garden in front of the restaurant with a few open windows. We then went 50m further to the Greek Hellas. Even though there was obviously almost nothing free left, he kindly invited us in and we were given a table outside. But that doesn't belong here. We'll write an extra review there. Unfortunately we cannot rate the food. But since we were at least welcomed, there is one more star.

Food top. However, customers are sent away in an unfriendly manner on the grounds that we are full and there is no room for you this evening. You “could” also mention that reservations can be made by telephone for the following day. We were not happy with the visit today. The gentleman with little hair on his head doesn't belong in the service. His bad mood doesn't make the stay pleasant. In this regard, you couldn't enjoy the meal today. Alternative has been found.

Very tasty, very nice, very happy again!

Unfortunately the condition didn't specify what I wanted and I have to wait another 20 minutes for a new pizza. That was a very poor performance!

Very tasty pizza, very friendly staff. You can spontaneously get a seat even without a reservation.

We ordered a carbonara, hoping to get a REAL carbonara without cream. When the watery carbonara arrived, we asked if it had cream in it. The waiter said that if we wanted an original carbonara, then we should have said so😂 Pasta not al dente, but much too hard. Starter was forgotten and brought later when asked. These were also far too oily and watery.

Delicious pizza and the price was good too. Paid a total of 27 euros for 2 pizzas and pizza rolls with herb butter. There is a separate “counter” for pickup orders. Card payment is possible.

Very good Italian cuisine, we enjoyed it very much. Lovely again

Delicious food, nice ambience and all-round very good service. We ended up with 3 courses for 4 people at 109€, which is good value for money given the quality. We will be back definitely

Wir waren als Paar mit Kind unterwegs, haben am selben Tag reserviert und einen netten Tisch im Aussenbereich bekommen. Personal war aufmerksam und freundlich, das Essen kam sehr rasch. Leider waren die Pizzen "nur" im guten Mittelfeld, die Pasta war sehr gut. Preislich sehr in Ordnung bzw. angemessen.

The people waiting in front of the restaurant were unpleasant, as they were laboriously processed and escorted to the table. 1 very nice cellar otherwise moderately friendly stressed.

Very very tasty and friendly staff.

An absolutely amazing restaurant! The staff is super friendly and children are taken seriously, served in a friendly manner and treated with respect, no matter how old they are. The food is excellent. I've never had such good Italian food at such a reasonable price. We've been there several times, the restaurant is always full but the waiters don't seem stressed or annoyed. Even requests for space (preferably a table with a corner bench to put the baby down while eating) are accepted and accommodated. The ambience is simple, but you can feel comfortable there and I don't eat because of the table decorations. I can absolutely recommend this restaurant

The food was delicious but we waited 30 minutes until we were brought to our reserved table. It took 20 minutes until we got our drinks. We couldn't keep up. It was quite nice inside but it was a lot warm. The waiters rarely came to us to ask if we needed anything. That's why I won't visit the store again.

Really nice place. The food is actually nice, but not the biggest portions, and have tried slightly better pasta and pizza. But worth the money compared to the tourist area. Not a tourist trap

Da leider alle Plätze belegt oder reserviert waren, haben wir uns zur Mitnahme von 4 Pizzen entschieden. Freundlicher und schneller Service. Mittleres Preissegment. Sonderwünsche (statt Zwiebeln bitte mit Paprika) würden problemlos und ohne Aufpreis umgesetzt. Geschmacklich jedoch für einen echten Italiener sehr enttäuschend. Pizzateig sehr dünn und trocken, kaum belegt. Schmeckt nach nichts, bestimmt nicht nach Tomate, Käse, geschweige denn Thunfisch. Schade! Da ist sogar Dr. Oetker besser. Vom zweiten Versuch einen Tisch zu ergattern, nehmen wir daher dann doch leider Abstand.

Very good Italian. Super friendly service and great pizza.

I don't know if the chef has changed or what the problem is. We visited Ciao Ciao twice within a week and each time the food was acceptable at best. No comparison to before, what a shame. We will not visit the restaurant again

Here is my impression from summer 2023: You read the reviews, see the prices and go to Ciao Ciao expecting to get the best pizza you've ever tasted. The reality, however, differs far from this idea. I found the staff to be snooty and unfriendly, and the food to be rude and more reminiscent of a ready meal than an Italian pizza. Price and performance didn't match at all and I can't imagine giving the restaurant a second chance.

Very tasty Italian restaurant where you can get a table spontaneously/without reservation even during the holidays and on weekends. The pizza is highly recommended and the service is friendly! 5/5 :)

Very attractive restaurant. Despite the almost full house, we managed to find space for 6 people. Thank you for your hospitality

The Ristorante Ciao Ciao is a nice Italian restaurant. After a short wait in the entrance area, we were escorted to our table. The service was attentive and very friendly. As a starter we had champions in garlic sauce, gratinated with cheese, which was very tasty. We also ordered the bruschetta. Unfortunately, we have to say that this was served somewhat carelessly and hardly seasoned. For the main course we ordered pizza. This was very tasty and nicely prepared. The dessert (chocolate cake and tiramisu) was a successful conclusion. Lovingly prepared and very tasty. The price-performance ratio was great. Many thanks to the team at Ristorante Ciao Ciao.
