Ristorante Da Gaetano in Pfullingen

I had a fantastic experience here! The food was excellent and the wait times were short. The service was outstanding! Perhaps that was also because they were pleased that I ordered in Italian. The salads were good and well-balanced; the seafood salad was amazing. The other dishes, from pizza to pasta, etc., were all very, very good and tasted fantastic. Just be aware of the immense size of the pizzas! If you're not very hungry, you might want to think twice. The ambiance and wine selection were just as excellent as everything else.

As of November 2025: The food is great, but the rest was unfortunately (for the first time) a flop! We've eaten here several times before and have always been very satisfied with the service, but we unfortunately experienced that it can be very different! We had the misfortune of being guests at the same time as two large Italian birthday parties and having our table between them. It wasn't just incredibly loud, but we also had to wait over an hour for our main courses (pizza and pasta). The first party arrived before us and, of course, received their food before us. The second party arrived half an hour after us and received some of their food before us (not just the appetizer, but also the main course). Both parties were fussed over, asked if everything was alright, if they needed anything else, etc. – not once did we receive that, and I'm used to a different experience here. We were practically ignored, felt like second-class citizens, the staff turned their backs on us, and getting their attention when we wanted something required a lot of patience. We spent a fair amount of money here with five people, but the focus is clearly elsewhere... we are very disappointed and won't be coming back anytime soon, which is a shame!

Wow, the food was truly world-class – fresh, full of flavor, and perfectly prepared. The service was also friendly and attentive. The cozy atmosphere made the visit perfect. I felt completely at ease and will definitely be back. Why didn't I go sooner? 😄

Ristorante Da Gaetano is a very decent Italian restaurant, not just the food, but also the spirit. First, all their dishes are served with good portion, but all very well decorated, taking Vintello Tonnato fo example, the portion is almost double to the average, while it's not just the tuna sauce over the veal, but with slices of carrots, half-dried tomato, 🌿 herb, and olive oil, just amazing. As to my main dish, Pacchero Amatriciana, one of the best Spaghetti I've ever had, the tomato 🍅 sauce is perfectly cooked with pork cheeks, with lots of cherry tomatoes, the Penne never tasted so good.

Nine of us ate here, and we were all impressed by the super delicious pizza and pasta! The pizzas were huge, and we couldn't finish them all. The atmosphere was great, too, and the service was friendly, but a bit forgetful. We would gladly come back anytime ☺️

We stumbled upon this friendly Italian restaurant quite by chance. We got a table at very short notice and were served very nicely and quickly. The pizzas are huge and delicious. All in all, a great restaurant! We will definitely be coming back again.

Excellent pizza, but unfortunately children are considered a nuisance and the service is generally inattentive and unfriendly.

Nice Italian restaurant. The pizza isn't outstanding, but it's still good. The pizza rolls are fantastic. The owner is very nice.

A culinary oasis with a family atmosphere – our favorite Italian restaurant! We regularly visit this wonderful Italian restaurant and are delighted every time! The food is simply delicious – prepared with love, superbly seasoned, and beautifully presented. Here, you truly enjoy your meal! The family atmosphere makes you feel immediately at home. You receive a warm welcome, the service is attentive and friendly, and you immediately notice that passion lies behind every dish. Whether pizza, pasta, or the rotating specialties – everything tastes simply amazing. The cuisine is consistently high-quality, fresh, authentic, and creative. You feel like you're visiting friends. We look forward to our visit every time – highly recommended for anyone who loves and enjoys authentic Italian cuisine and appreciates warm hospitality! A personal tip: The Hawaiian pizza – perhaps not quite classic Italian, but simply heavenly! My wife loves it, and even pizza purists might be tempted. 🌞

"Pizza Hawaii with Pretensions – Between Humility and Self-Image" During a visit to Pfullingen, this "Ristorante" was highly recommended to me. Expectations were high. What I found was solid cuisine, without any exceptional highlights, but not disappointing either. Overall, an enjoyable experience, generously deserving of three stars. Ristorante Da Gaetano offers a wide range of Italian classics, such as Vitello Tonnato, Carpaccio, Burrata, Saltimbocca, Tagliatelle al Tartufo – all present. However, Pizza Hawaii is also on the menu. I didn't order it, but its very presence raises questions! A slice of canned pineapple on leavened dough, culinaryally somewhere between a children's birthday party and a company cafeteria. Where I come from, the person responsible for such a creation would probably have been chased out of town... and not with torches, but with pizza peels. If you're offering truffle pasta, perhaps it's best to avoid these excursions into the Germanic 1980s. It gives the impression of not taking oneself too seriously—or of underestimating the audience. A glance at the menu also reveals some linguistic oddities. Spelling errors, a jumbled mix of German and Italian, and a lack of attention to wording. A lofty claim with literary depth? None. The presentation remains inconsistent. The Saltimbocca alla Romana was well executed: tender veal, aromatic sage, clean presentation. For my taste, it was a bit too salty—not a disaster, but avoidable at these prices. The Scaloppine alla Milanese were served with pasta that was pleasantly al dente, congratulations. Taste-wise, they were solid; visually, however, they were more like a Wiener schnitzel than the Milanese model. The breading was peeling off the meat in some places—a small mistake, but forgivable. Another interesting fact: the menu features "Penne alla Bolognese"—a classic for German palates, of course. But in Bologna, this dish is simply called Ragù alla Bolognese, traditionally served with tagliatelle. The term "Bolognese" on the menu is therefore more of a concession to German tastes than an expression of authentic cuisine. That's fine, as long as you don't expect too much. The service was friendly, but at times too intrusive. We were interrupted several times—less would have been better. A genuine smile, one that doesn't seem forced even after ten hours of work, would complete the image of high class and prestige, making the overall experience more pleasant. The ambiance is simple, the conservatory bright and functional. There's no grand display, but no offensive charm either. It's a safe bet, without leaving a lasting impression. For a completely successful evening, expect to spend around 60-70 euros per person. Prices you'd expect in New York, Rio, Tokyo, or Paris, rather than in a small Swabian village like Pfullingen. The wine list goes further: prices are in part higher than those in Paris's 7th arrondissement. And anyone who's lived there for several months knows that's a statement, especially in tranquil Swabia. Conclusion: A restaurant with ambition, solid cuisine, and committed service, teetering between pretension and everydayness. Combining Hawaiian pizza and truffle pasta on a menu invites interpretation, and perhaps a smile. The comparison with Paris is not far-fetched: after nearly seven months in the 7th arrondissement, the pretensions and pricing can be assessed with full knowledge of the facts. Other travel experiences also allow for a differentiated view of what can be considered a gastronomic highlight... or a small gaffe. Anyone with high ambitions should also ensure their overall image corresponds to these standards. This observation is intended as a constructive encouragement to further enhance and improve the experience offered.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Italian insider tip in Pfullingen – true moments of enjoyment! In my search for traditional Italian cuisine off the beaten track, I stumbled upon a true insider tip in Pfullingen: Da Gaetano – highly recommended! Ristorante Da Gaetano impresses with classic Italian cuisine, lovingly prepared, and great daily specials. The ingredients taste fresh, the pizza has a crispy base, and the staff is warm and attentive. Those who value authenticity and reliability will feel at home here. Also great for takeout! Ristorante Da Gaetano is for those with a more creative taste. The menu offers sophisticated dishes such as pizza with beef carpaccio or pasta with truffle – modern

was great and delicious, would definitely go back.

A slice of Italy with a lot of heart! I had pizza and pasta at Da Gaetano – and it was simply unbelievably delicious! You can taste the real love that goes into the cooking here. The entire team is incredibly warm and attentive, and you immediately feel welcome. For me, it's clearly an absolute favorite restaurant – 100% recommended!

Great place, humorous staff, incredibly delicious food, whether pizza, salad, or pasta... The bread with the salad is especially appetizing. And it's cozy, too.

Awesome Italian restaurant. Super friendly, and the pizzas are huge and delicious.

The food is very good, the restaurant is decorated in a rustic modern style. I love the pizza bread there and the pasta dishes. I recommend getting dressed up first at the La Grazia Salon in Eningen unter Achalm and then ending the evening at Gaetano. 👌 salute

Absolutely excellent Italian restaurant. Nice atmosphere with a winter garden and great food.

Top tip. So everything is tip top. always delicious and high quality.

Bester Italiener in Pfullingen! Ultra lecker, super Service, mega freundlich - absolute Empfehlung!

Rather small restaurant - perhaps order in advance for special occasions. Great dishes on the menu, really great in terms of taste too. Pizzas are only available in one size (too big for many). The price is more in the upper segment from 20 - 40 euros, but really very good. Recommendation offers 2 pizza sizes.

Our friends were there before us. In half an hour they only got the menu. Nobody asked if they would like to order something to drink. How can a pizzeria not have a standard Pizza Margherita? The answer I got was really rude: "Senior only has what's on the menu," said the unfriendly old gentleman. Had to wait over an hour for 4 pizzas. I won't recommend it! My first and last visit. In Pfullingen there is another Italian that is much friendlier and has more choice!

Nice restaurant, food is always delicious and the staff are always very friendly and helpful

Very pleasant atmosphere and the food was also delicious. The food came quickly and tasted excellent

Cozy restaurant. With excellent service, clean kitchen, beautiful presentation, and very tasty food. It is worth noting that there is a children's menu, with adapted portions and food for children. There is no private parking, but you can always find a place for a car nearby.

An ideal place if you want to eat well and taste good wine. Really all good.

a pleasant discovery, this Italian restaurant completely met my expectations. First of all, the location is very beautiful, well-kept and well-lit. The staff is qualified and professional, smiling (which I notice immediately), but let's talk about the food, pure sensorial ecstasy, it's difficult to find the right words... a unique combination of flavours. perfect cooking of every dish with unique care in plating and colours. I fully recommend this restaurant.

This may not be haute cuisine, but it's very solid at really reasonable prices. Top 👍

Very nice staff and very tasty food

Very tasty, very attentive, he specifically called to say that card payment was not possible that day.

Best pasta I've ever eaten 😮‍💨 The atmosphere is very nice and pleasant and the service is so nice and friendly

Yummy Yummy Yummy... Were here to eat for the first time. Everything great... I can't find the words how great it was!

Ottima cucina e personale molto cordiale, i prodotti di ottima qualita, la pizza grande, croccante e il condimento molto ricco

We love it there, we are always greeted politely and warmly...we particularly like the varied weekly menu. And dessert always makes my children happy.

Super tasty pizza with a crispy base and very good toppings. Fast service. Unfortunately the boss seemed a bit arrogant

I can absolutely recommend it. Very tasty food and friendly service. Value for money is right. We will be back!

Immer wieder gerne... Beste Pizza in der Gegend. Auch die Nudelgerichte sind ausgezeichnet. Salat frisch und prima Dressing. Aufmerksamer Service und äußerst freundlicher Inhaber.

Not very child friendly. I don't look like a southerner, but I am one 😉 So I understood every single word. Apparently it bothers the owner when children talk to each other and don't whisper. 👎🏻

Family-run restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine 🇮🇹. My pizza Tonno was exceptionally good and the size of a wheel cart. There was also local beer 🍻 and wheat from the Berg brewery. The price/performance is right. The waitresses were all very friendly and attentive. Keep it up! 🫶

We ordered two pizzas to pick up yesterday. The “Senorita” on the phone left a strange impression and the question of whether we paid with card or cash was new to me. I've never been asked that question before. When we arrived at the restaurant, there was a lady sitting just to the left of the entrance who didn't think it was necessary to say hello or turn down her cell phone. When she ran into the kitchen I realized it was the same lady from the phone call. Unfortunately, my first impression was only confirmed. It's not enough to just deliver a decent pizza. Service is crucial.

The Pizzeria da Gaetano in Pfullingen is simply fantastic! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, the staff is always friendly and accommodating. But of course the best thing is the pizzas! They are simply delicious and made with fresh ingredients. Every bite is a delight! The selection of different pizzas is large and there is something for every taste. The pasta dishes and salad are also highly recommended. And don't forget: the homemade desserts are an absolute highlight! I can only warmly recommend Pizzeria da Gaetano. Everything is just right here - the food, the service and the value for money. Definitely worth a visit!

Everyone there was super friendly... The food is always very tasty. Keep it up👌

I have never eaten better pizzas. The price performance ratio is very good. That's why I regularly buy takeaway there. I haven't eaten in the restaurant yet.

Cozy Italian restaurant with nice service and great pizzas. We were completely satisfied and received really nice and friendly service. The prices are also absolutely fair.

The Da Gaetano restaurant makes every culinary heart beat faster, simply traditional Italian food, whether pasta, meat or fish, everything tastes delicious, the pizza is undoubtedly one of the best in the entire area

I can fully recommend the Da Gaetano restaurant, really great and delicious food, in my opinion the pizza is the best in the entire Reutlingen area and the staff is always very friendly. Therefore 5 stars from me

The pizza was really great. Toppings were in a perfect ratio. Price/performance great

Food looks and tastes quite good. Service, subjective (!) perception: tendency to arrogance, a feeling arises of being grateful to be granted entry here.

In general, the food here is really good, but unfortunately the pizza is always cooled down by the time you pick it up. Even if you're there after 20 minutes, even though the food shouldn't be ready until after 30 minutes. If you then say something about it and other guests might notice it, you will get a muzzle in the form of a bottle of vino from an arrogant-looking employee. Even when we visited the restaurant and ate it, the pizza wasn't hot when it came straight from the kitchen to the table. If you order a Coke that comes in a bottle and say you don't need a glass, you have to take it. Again the arrogant-looking employee with the justification “we are a local”.

The Da Gaetano restaurant never betrays the quality of the products, dishes with attention to the smallest details. Excellent and friendly service......to be recommended

Excellent service, very welcoming place, excellent staff, excellent food, highly recommended

Everything quality. KIND AND WELCOMING STAFF..

Sehr leckere italienische Küche mit ausgesuchten Weinen, zuvorkommender freundlicher Service. Das Tiramisu ist ein Gedicht.

Very tasty food always a recommendation, especially the classics 🤩👍👍👍, selected wines. You feel comfortable here.

Excellent, genuine and good quality food. Excellent cleanliness and very kind staff. I recommend everyone to go and enjoy a good dinner.

Unique experience, welcoming staff, excellent service, especially beautiful dishes and excellent quality of food. Wide choice especially for those who prefer vegetarian cuisine. Highly recommended

A pizza restaurant like few others! It has everything that an Italian restaurant, which can be called such, should have: quality food, excellent dishes, not only in presentation but also and above all for the flavor of authentic Italian cuisine. The passion for cooking, in the search for combinations of flavors (not the monotony of those who do gastronomy just to make money). Elegance of the environments, and last but not least, the kindness of the always available staff. I highly recommend it because I believe it is one of the best Italian restaurants in the area and I dare say also the best pizzeria. Last note for meat lovers: at da Gaetano you will love it even more!

Excellent restaurant, friendly and polite staff. Fabulous food I will definitely be back

Very nice place, very good and refined cuisine, I will definitely return

Excellent service, competent staff, exceptional cuisine and super friendly and welcoming owners. I recommend it to all Italian and non-Italian residents in the area and especially to those passing through! It will be an experience not to be missed both culinary and personal. Always the best. Keep it up

Great venue, great food and welcoming venue and excellent service. I recommend 😊

Salad needs improvement. Dressing was just balsamic cream. Vinegar and oil were not available at the table. Calzone was too mushy as the filling was only in the middle. The pasta dish was a very large portion. The winter garden is very nice, but the other places outside the winter garden are much less beautiful. Placed very close together.

Italian food, something unusual, freshly prepared, has its price, but very tasty, worth a visit

The Italian restaurant is a real treat! The food is exceptionally delicious and authentic. Every bite was a culinary journey to Italy. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, which made our evening even more enjoyable. The bosses are super nice and even personally asked about our taste. An all around fantastic experience that we will definitely repeat!

Hair found on the pizza. Yummy!

This pizzeria makes it to the top for me. I had the Frutti di Mare. Was lovingly garnished with mussels in the shell. Great taste. Not just a run-of-the-mill dough but very fluffy with a long cooking time. Large portion. Pizza thought outside the box. Priced a little higher but reasonable. Service impeccable. Fast and attentive.

Sehr schöne Location. Und immer wieder sehr lecker.

Digga wo gibt es denn Schwertfisch und Oktopustentakel bitte😂 Hab mir ne Pizza bestellt war ok

Netter Empfang und tolle Auswahl an Gerichten. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Essen immer sehr lecker, riesige Pizzen, tolle Nudelgerichte. Auch viele besondere Gerichte, welche man sonst kaum wo findet 😊 Mittagstisch auch immer lecker und gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Sehr leckere und vor allem riesige Pizza. Es gibt eine tolle Auswahl an unterschiedlichen Belägen, sodass jeder fündig werden kann.

Sehr gut Alleess !!! Service,Küche, Atmosphäre, essen wirklich eine Echte Italiano!!! Von Bruschetta bis Tiramisù nur Complimenti Angelo e Sara e Team ( u Ziu Pippu) GRAZIE MILLE

Ho Cenato divinamente , locale romantico adatto a coppie riservato, abbiamo voluto provare sia proposte di terra e mare, ritornerò presto per provare il tartufo, un ringraziamento speciale al titolare e il responsabile sala posteggio davanti al locale

War sehr sehr lecker und schöne entspannte Atmosphäre. +++++

Super gutes Essen und sehr nette Bedienung.. nur zum empfehlen:) immer wieder gerne dort

Wir waren der erste mal im Ristorante Da Gaetano und wurden sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend begrüßt. Die Speisekarte lässt keine Wünsche offen, die Auswahl ist toll. Dazu gab es eine sehr gute Weinempfehlung. Wir hatten Vitello Tonnato und Burrata als Vorspeise, als Hauptgericht Kürbisrisotto - alles hervorragend zubereitet und auf schönem Porzellan serviert. Der Service war den ganzen Abend über freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das war sicher nicht der letzte Besuch 👍

Sehr leckeres Essen zu einem fairen Preis. Sehr freundliche Bedienung! Nur zu empfehlen

Spontan einen Tisch bekommen um Wintergarten, fast wie draußen. Es gibt einen Innenbereich, Außenbereich im Wintergarten und eine kleine Terrasse. Essen ist sehr frisch und lecker, für die Pizzen sind sie bekannt. Sehr lecker, freundlich und normale Preise.

Sehr leckeres Essen und sehr nettes Restaurant. Kann ich nur empfehlen👍🏻

Richtig leckere Pizzen. Meine Jungs waren begeistert. Und die penne al pomodoro waren mega. Diese Tomatensauce. Che il cibo é una poesia. Milie Grazie an das Team. Bis zum nächsten Mal.

Hervorragende Italienische Küche auf gehobenem Niveau zu vernünftigen Preisen. ☺️😊😍

Große leckere Pizzen und viele andere leckere italienische Gerichte

Tolle Aussicht von der Terrasse. Super Essen nette Bedienung. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Wir waren immer gerne im Da Gaetano... leider werden wir ne Weile nicht mehr hingehen. Da die Pizza sehr lecker aber wirklich riesig ist, hatten wir immer eine leckere Vorspeise zusammen gegessen und danach eine Pizza zusammen. Leider ist das nicht mehr möglich, man kann eine Pizza nicht mehr mit einem zweiten Teller bekommen. Warum ? Uns ist das schleierhaft. Hoffen die Betreiber, dass man dann halt zwei Pizzen bestellt? Ich nehme es an. Aber leider schaffen wir keine zweite Pizza oder müssen dann die Vorspeise weglassen. Wie man es dreht und wendet, mehr Umsatz werden wir nicht generieren. Also haben wir beim letzten Mal Vitello Tonnato zusammen mit der Pizza bestellt und irgendwie aufgeteilt. Was aber nicht ganz so lecker war, als nacheinander. Fazit: wir müssen halt da hingehen, wo das Teilen noch möglich ist. Schade

Pizza eher geschmacklos, das Gemüse auf der Vegetariana zu groß und deshalb nicht gar, Salat laut Karte mit Geschmacksverstärkern, Wasserflasche wirkte von Hand nachgefüllt (Verschluss war erkennbar beschädigt, möglicherweise mehrfach verwendet und aus dem Wasserhahn aufgefüllt??), Bedienung muffig, Preise inzwischen deutlich erhöht

Immer tolles Essen!! Pizzen super groß und lecker

Essen und Service sehr gut. Ein Stern Abzug da schon recht hochpreisig.

Achtung beim kleinen Hunger: die Pizzas sind RIESIG! Und schmecken hervorragend! Auch die Pastas sind sehr lecker!

Sehr lecker, alles frisch gemacht..

Die Pizza war immer sehr lecker. In letzter Zeit jedoch bemerken wir Veränderung. Pizza eher lieblos, keine Gewürze oder Kräuter, fad und weich. Ein Essen von zwei (Schnitzel) wurde nicht der Lieferung hinzugefügt. Die Nachabholung war dann ein 3cm Dickes dunkles Schnitzel. Iwie lässt die Lust nach dort zu bestellen bzw abzuholen. Wir hoffen auf alte Standardqualität in Zukunft.

Hervorragende Muscheln und Fisch Gerichte, liebevoll angerichtet. Das bruschetta ist ein Gedicht!!! Preis- Leistung top und konstant guter Service! Immer wieder gerne kommen wir als Paar, Familie oder in der Mädelsgruppe!

Wir haben das da Gaetano Team für ein Catering geordert. Super freundlich, pünktliche Lieferung und vorallem sehr zuverlässig. Uns als auch unseren Gästen hat das Essen mehr als geschmeckt. Es war mehr als genug für alle da. Alles wurde mit viel Liebe gemacht. Wir Danken Euch von Herzen.

Das Essen und der Service ist Klasse. Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung

Sehr lecker, sehr nettes, aufmerksames Personal. Es war brechend voll, trotzdem lief alles reibungslos. Absolute Empfehlung!

Soweit in Ordnung. Wenn es zuviel ist, kann man sich für 0,50 Sent Verpackungsmaterial. Denn Rest mitnehmen. Personal könnte freundlicher sein. !!!

Lieblingsitaliener! 🫶🏾 Das Essen ist unbeschreiblich lecker, Personal immer freundlich!

Sehr leckere und vorallem große Pizzen die sehr fruchtig schmecken. Dazu preislich voll im Rahmen. Auch die pasta schmeckte Sehr gut, jedoch waren nicht alle Zutaten angegeben was für mich als Allergiker nicht gut war.
