Ristorante da Paolo in Timmendorfer Strand

The pasta is affordable and delicious, and the steak is very good.

The pizza wasn't made on-site; it was 100% frozen, with zero flavor. Never eating there again.

I simply said at 20.35 it is closed although there were seats available and still guests there

Yes, very good food and everything freshly prepared

My spontaneous hope for a seat was fulfilled. Very professional service and delicious food. Thank you very much!🙏🏼

Until today, I only knew spaghetti Bolognese. And then it came...that moment...the special of the day: "Pizza Bolognese"...I was curious to see what it tasted like...and let me tell you...simply AMAZING!♥️🍕🍷 After my favorite tagliatelle with salmon...this dish is number two on my list. Mille Grazie! I can only recommend it! :)

The food was delicious and the staff was prompt and very friendly. The dessert was insanely delicious. Definitely stop by.

Even though it was "just" spaghetti...super delicious...very hot Very friendly staff...

Absolute disaster! The service was incredibly unpleasant – even when ordering, you felt like you were intruding. The pizza was simply slammed down without any care, not even cut – a disgrace! I had to carve it myself with a knife like an idiot. And as if that wasn't enough, they simply deducted my tip at the end without asking. Seriously? That's not acceptable. Absolutely disgraceful place – never again!!!!!

The service was nice and we got a table straight away. The shop is nice and clean. My pizza was delicious but the crust was burnt in some places. I can still highly recommend the shop.

You sit in the fully glassed-in conservatory. Service is friendly and quick. Food is delicious!

A fantastic Italian restaurant with excellent cuisine and fresh ingredients. The service is attentive and warm, without being overly pretentious. Whether pasta, pizza, or fish – everything tastes authentic and simply delicious. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately, my pizza was quite dry on the outside and only half-cooked on the inside. Arugula was soggy and had probably been put on the pizza too early. All in all, it wasn't a great experience, especially for the price, but it was still okay. Unfortunately, my wife had a stomachache all night from the vegetarian pizza and felt very unwell. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice. Overall, the price/performance ratio wasn't good, but that's unfortunately standard on the German Baltic Sea coast.

Not recommended, as they don't serve beer. Embarrassing! The food was mediocre.

This was our very first time here, and certainly not the last. We arrived without an appointment, and the place was packed. They immediately made an effort to get us a table quickly. The team is amazing. The food is sensational. The one-star rating is completely unjustified and very unfair.

The restaurant is very harmonious in every way. We were there for the first time recently, but we would visit again anytime. The service is attentive and exudes a wonderful Italian charm. The food is top-notch. Above all, the pizza is exactly what we imagined. A fine base, crispy, and delicious ingredients. Despite the (rightly) full seating, we didn't have to wait long for the food. So if you're in Timmendorf, stop by; it's worth it.

Beautiful ambiance and excellent Italian cuisine! Very friendly service and the tiramisu was truly delicious. . . Buon Appetito 😋

Unfortunately, I can't comment on the food or the ambiance. We stood with our 1.5-year-old daughter for 15 minutes at the entrance counter without being invited in. The place was quite full; a table near us was being cleared and wiped down. After asking if we could go there, the waitress said she had to check with the manager first. The said 15 minutes passed, our daughter was already very annoyed, and the waitress walked past us several times without paying any attention. Unfortunately, we won't see this Italian again; the staff are incapable of making their own decisions, presumably because the owner apparently intended it that way.

wanted to share some feedback regarding a recent visit. Unfortunately, the food was not very enjoyable, and more importantly, despite informing the staff about a seafood allergy, we were still served a dish containing seafood. This was not only disappointing but also potentially dangerous. I hope you can take steps to ensure allergy information is taken more seriously in the future to avoid putting guests at risk.

Very friendly service and delicious food. I had a pizza salami and a starter salad. The salad was almost the size of a main course :-). Everything was freshly prepared.

It was a bit hectic in the restaurant, but the pizza 🍕 was okay. My wife really enjoyed the pasta dish. The pizza wasn't anything special and a bit more expensive than at our Italian restaurant, but it satisfied our hunger. The beer 🍺 was too expensive at €5.90 for a 0.4 l.

Good pizza. Our waiter from Bratislava was exceptional 💛

If you want a good pizza and a glass of wine, head to Ristorante da Paolo on Timmendorfer Strand. The service is top-notch. Always reserve a table in advance.

I think our first visit was more than 10 years ago. We were back for a vacation, and what can I say? Andrea(s) is AMAZING!!! Your brother, who sadly passed away, introduced me to you back then. Thank you Vitantonio! The place is great, everything: the atmosphere, the food, the staff. We'll be back 😀

The food was excellent to good, typical Italian cuisine! Unfortunately, the pasta wasn't cooked al dente. The service wasn't particularly attentive, probably because there were only two of us. The ambiance, sitting right next to the bar and the kitchen, isn't that special. Otherwise, everything was fine!

A decent restaurant. I found the pizza rather greasy, with lots of cheese and little sauce. There was no lasagna at this Italian restaurant. There was no whipped cream on the dessert ice cream. The staff was friendly, but the restaurant lacked a cozy atmosphere.

Mediocre food, prices not too expensive, very friendly service.

Delicious, good, very friendly. Very good quality. We've been there more than once.

I’ve visited Ristorante da Paolo twice (maybe more—it’s hard to resist!), and each time has been a delight. The food is simply delizioso—think fresh pasta cooked to perfection, flavorful seafood dishes, and sauces that taste like they’re made with love. Their pizza is also a standout, with a thin, crispy crust and generous toppings. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make it feel like a true Italian trattoria, right here in Timmendorfer Strand. Whether you’re sitting outside enjoying the sea breeze or inside with the rustic charm, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxed meal. Already looking forward to my next visit—grazie, Da Paolo, for the consistently great experience!

Super delicious food. I'd especially like to highlight the service. I've rarely been served so kindly and courteously. We'd be happy to come back.

A first-class Italian restaurant in the center of Timmendorf

Very good food, very friendly staff, very nice ambience.

I ate at this restaurant alone. Unfortunately, I was seated in a corner, which was very cramped. The space itself is otherwise fine. The food was simply delicious! Highly recommended! The prices are also very fair. The service was attentive.

The food was very good. €20 for a pizza is a bit steep, but it's a vacation spot. The pasta was also beyond reproach. The service was a bit forgetful at first, but after that, they were very attentive. We also gave a good tip. The daily specials are varied and highly recommended. If we're here again, we'll be happy to come back.

A cozy restaurant right in Timmendorfer Strand. The atmosphere is very pleasant. The service was very friendly. The salami pizza was delicious and, at €13.50, a reasonable price. We found the beer a bit too expensive: €5.90 for 0.4 liters. We'd gotten a 0.5-liter beer for that price at other restaurants the other day. We highly recommend this restaurant.

We were back yesterday after about nine years. The space is very nice and modern, offering a great atmosphere. The pizzas are delicious and crispy! Highly recommended! 👌🏼

1.) Aglio e Olio con Peperoni: sehr sehr schlecht, essen wir oft in italienischen Restaurants, daher haben wir einen guten Vergleich, überhaupt nicht scharf angemacht, Peperoni nicht frisch, einfach eingelegte Peperonis mit wenig Geschmack, geht gar nicht für diesen Preis! 2.) Salat für über 17€, am Tisch sagte man uns „es sei nur ein Vorspeisensalat“….. Insgesamt beides schlecht, werden wir meiden!

We had Aglio e Olio con Peperoni (pepper sauce and oil), and it was very, very bad. We eat this dish very often in Italian restaurants, so we have a good comparison! It wasn't spicy at all, the peppers weren't fresh, they just used pickled peppers with little flavor (we're used to fresh peppers), which is unacceptable for this price! Ordered a salad for over €17 according to the menu, and at the table we were told "it was just an appetizer salad"... (also unacceptable). Overall, both were bad, and we will avoid this restaurant in the future!

The food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. We rarely go out to eat these days because we often don't like the food. That's why we were all the more impressed with the food here.

We were denied a table due to the condescending and disrespectful behavior of the waiter, who paid us no attention. Such discriminatory treatment based solely on visual assessment is unacceptable.

Good pizza with good, friendly service

I highly recommend this pizzeria. Everything was just perfect.👍

Yes, if you are there, highly recommended

We were pleased to be welcomed in Ilaliana, also very friendly staff, we ordered several types of pizza and all family members were satisfied. We will definitely come back!

Since the restaurant had good reviews, we were looking forward to eating there. Very fast, friendly service. Apparently all Italian, so we expected authentic Italian cuisine. Spaghetti Carbonara and Pizza ordered a white wine and a red wine. The white wine was of simple quality, the recommended Primitivo went like this. So far so…..The spagetti carbonara was drowned in cream. It doesn't belong in carbonara at all. There was neither Peccorino nor Parmesan on the sauce, which is traditionally included. When I asked, I was given more parmesan and was charged extra. By the way, in this restaurant you pay €3 for an extra plate and cutlery if you want to share a dish. My recommendation: At the square around the corner there is Italian cuisine with fresh ingredients and homemade pasta. The pizza was okay, but nothing special.

For almost 29 years, after a day at the beach, he stopped by Paolo's with his dog. In the middle of the week, around 5 p.m., we were no longer allowed to enter the restaurant because of the dog. The restaurant is rarely visited. Incomprehensible! We found another friendly Italian after all these years. The dog got a greeting from the kitchen and we ate much better. Thanks for the rejection. We have broadened our horizons and will not be coming back. Ciao!

Very friendly Food was delicious Lambrusco was delicious

Great Italian and great conditions! The owner is very friendly and funny. Many greetings from Saxony 🤩

Tripadvisor Bewertungen haben uns leider beeinflusst.. das Essen war unverschämt teuer und dafür so schlecht. Da kann ich sogar bei unserem Italienischen Imbiss Zuhause besser essen.

Very tasty pizzas and a very tasty tiramisu. Always full, so make sure to reserve in advance.

Great restaurant, the food is very good but what should be highlighted is the super friendly, discreet and simply lovely host. Simply great and definitely worth a visit.

Good portions in the entrance area is too loud and too cool

A great restaurant with delicious cuisine and the friendliest staff ever! We like to be there again and again. I give it 10 🌟!

Very tasty food in a very nice restaurant with a great atmosphere and very friendly staff.

We were very enthusiastic about this Italian restaurant, which is located absolutely centrally in Timmendorf on the 1st floor. We spontaneously got a table reserved for Saturday evening and felt very welcome with our two small children. The pizzas were very, very tasty and the pizza rolls were hot, crispy and extremely good! The olive oil I specifically asked for was delicious with it! We really had to change our two-year-old daughter and there was no explicit changing option. We politely asked for an alternative and they made it possible in the next room. The restaurant became more and more crowded and was well attended. Our waiter was super nice and seemed very competent. My antipasti was delicious, the eggplant was a little too spicy for my taste. A tip: The sink fittings in the women's toilet can be replaced from time to time. :-) We'll be back!

Very attractive, stylishly furnished, very nice staff, excellent food. Only one small drawback: Since we no longer have an EC card, we had to pay in cash.

We celebrated our birthday here and were thrilled! Delicious food, a stylish atmosphere, and first-class service. The festively decorated table and the perfect organization made the evening unforgettable. Everything went smoothly, even with our little baby – we'd love to come back!

Reserved a day in advance, which was necessary. Francesca and colleagues were excellent, as was the food. Very attentive and accommodating. 100% recommendation.

The food is still delicious, but the prices have gone up considerably. I don't think a few slices of bread with aioli for €8.50 is reasonable. What I find most depressing, however, are the portions of Parmesan cheese for €1.50. A portion of pasta should come with Parmesan.

We've been regular customers at Paolo's for about eight years. We live 30 minutes away, but it's worth it. We've experienced several different waitresses in the meantime. All of them are friendly and pleasant. We've been there as a couple, with some of the family, with the whole family, with friends, relatives... for various occasions or whatever... Every time, our food has been delicious, whether it's pizza, salad, or pasta. The portions are so large that there's always some leftover. Good service, nice and friendly waitresses. Not pushy, they let customers chat in peace. Really good Italian restaurants are hard to find. But once you find one, you can't let it go...and you appreciate it...

Highly recommended, everything is just right!❤️ You feel very comfortable! Best Italian ❤️❤️❤️

Service was ok, but very disappointed with the food! Pizza is still ok, but the pasta is a disgrace! Spaghetti aglio e olio for €14 and as a woman I couldn't get enough, it looked like a child's portion! For the prices you can expect something different!

We had a fantastic meal in a beautiful atmosphere, the service was great. We'd love to come back.

Everything was okay, staff were very friendly, food was also delicious. Two bolognese and a bottle of water almost 40 euros, I think it's quite expensive.

We ate from the lunch menu here. I haven't eaten pizza this good in a long time. The tagiatelle with vegetables were also really tasty. Service great ambience also nice.

Interior very elegant. Romantic atmosphere. Service staff makes you feel like you are alone in the restaurant. Food is excellent. We'd love to come back.

Very nice atmosphere, very friendly staff and above all delicious food. We'll definitely be back...

Great food for a fair price! Good operation/service!

Unfortunately, what I ordered didn't taste good at all. Tiramisu is also a parody of Tiramisu. At the end the waitress asked me if the food was tasty and when I gave my real opinion (without aggression, very calm but honest) she started to convince me that it wasn't like that instead of saying that it was to them kitchen will be passed on. This is the first time I have experienced such service. Update: Unfortunately there is somehow no option to reply to your answer, so I'm writing my answer here. How did I show myself? I spoke to my partner about 3 situations that happened in your restaurant. First I ordered apple juice and then had to go straight to the toilet. Meanwhile, the waitress asked my partner again what I had ordered: apple spritzer or apple juice. He couldn't remember exactly and said apple spritzer. When I returned, I was already a little disappointed that they didn't wait for me to ask me directly what I had actually ordered. But well, I thought it was just a single situation - something like that can happen. Then it was about the pizza. I wanted to order a four-cheese pizza, but I didn't really read that it doesn't exist. The waitress asked, “Do you mean the Quattro… pizza?” I thought she was simply translating the name into Italian and replied, “Yes.” Of course, that was partly my fault because I said “yes.” But I think that they could have also explained to me that I misunderstood something and that there is no such thing as a four-cheese pizza. That would have avoided confusion. Of course, I was disappointed again when I received something I didn't want to order. And then came the tiramisu, which really didn't taste good. I can say this with certainty because I often order tiramisu - and unfortunately this was one of the worst I've ever eaten. This was followed by the reaction of the waitress, who somehow wanted to defend the tiramisu. And now comes your reaction, Toni, in which you mention at the end that I somehow showed myself. I really don't understand what you mean by that. How exactly did I “show up” if all I did was talk to my partner and give my honest opinion to the waitress? I thought the restaurant would take my feedback into account - in which case I wouldn't have left a review here at all. Update 2: I've read through some comments where people are complaining. I was curious about how the restaurant usually reacts to criticism. Dear potential guests of this restaurant, Before you eat here, take a close look at the comments. Think carefully about whether you would like to be treated this way if you don't like the service or the food. Because one thing is clear: this restaurant only accepts praise.

We ate super delicious noodles. We'll definitely be back. We can recommend it. :-) Prices are around 13-25 euros for noodles.

Very friendly service and very tasty pizza. Not so nice from the outside - more like an awning and very narrow inside but the pizza arrived quickly and tasted great.

Great service!!! We had a spontaneous meal there last night after work... I can only recommend it to everyone, it's simply delicious 😋

Great service! Friendly and very attentive! The entire staff is great! Most importantly - the food is first class! Great quality, great craftsmanship! Please stay like that. Thank you!

The Capriciosa salad was really tasty. The kids had pizza and spaghetti bolognese. There was a lot of cheese on the margarita pizza. I didn't try the Bolognese, my son thought it was delicious.

I don't think the application does the store justice. We ate very well there and the service was very attentive and friendly. I recommend reserving a table.

Very nice service! Top service!

We had reserved a table several weeks in advance, but then had to either sit near the cold entrance or take the table near the toilet. The evening didn't start off well. Unfortunately, the lady who served us did not present us with the daily menu and was generally short and rather unfriendly. When we asked about a vegetarian dish - which vegetables were in it (since the menu only mentioned non-specific "vegetables") - she responded with a rude comment that didn't provide any clarification. She also showed no willingness to ask in the kitchen. We then went somewhere else for a nice, cozy evening.

Very tasty food, super nice service.

The service is very nice, she will recommend what and how to go with it, the dishes are served quickly and the pizza is delicious, crispy and not overdone with the sauce and ingredients, I recommend it to anyone who wants pizza.

Special thanks to the waitress in the outside area who “organized” something to eat for us yesterday shortly before closing time… very, very friendly and attentive 😃

Every year when we are in Timmendorfer Strand we love going to Paolo's and we were always very satisfied. But this time it didn't work at all, the pizza was, in short, just bad, the salami tasted impossible. The dreifirtel pizza was returned because they wanted it for me Pack it up but just said that it didn't taste good. No question, why no apology, "too bad". At the table next door they also had a salami pizza, the salami was given to the dog who was sitting under the table. It's all a shame, we won't be coming back.

Went there for dinner. The restaurant was moderately busy on a Sunday evening, so we were able to choose a seat. The food was absorbed quickly and arrived quickly. The pizza is delicious and if you like pizza, you'll get your money's worth:) The star deduction is due to the service. Unfortunately, we didn't see the waitress at our place after serving and only saw her again after we asked her to pay.

Unfortunately I can't give the entire review 5 stars because the restaurant no longer accepts credit cards. The food was always good and the service was attentive.

Ate with 7 people, pizzas were very thin and extremely hard. Unfortunately there was no way to order pasta without tomato sauce. Just sad. A simple cream sauce would have been enough or even pasta without anything. But no chance, not even trying to ask in the kitchen. Disappointing. Drinks took forever, food actually took even longer. We wouldn't visit this restaurant again.

Unfortunately my fillet wasn't that perfect. Can happen with a natural product - Never mind. I complained and received 2 x filet mignon of very good quality. That's how it should be. First class service. I give 5 stars and would be happy to come back.

Friendly service and good food.

Delicious Italian cuisine, friendly service

We both ate a pizza. It was very big and really tasty. Nice service and very fast! Gladly again.

We had a lovely evening! The food was very good and the staff was friendly and attentive!

Went there spontaneously and were welcomed very lovingly. Service was great. Mega friendly staff. Very hardworking and accommodating. Food was very tasty. We enjoyed the time. Will definitely come again. I can only recommend it. Price-performance ratio is perfect.

Very tasty food and incredibly friendly service.

The two of us spontaneously came here in the evening and were immediately given a nice table by the window. The service was super nice and the food was excellent. A clear recommendation from us!

Quite cheap for Timmendorfer standards, well attended, atmosphere is more like a covered terrace

We ate there on our vacation. Yes, the food was okay, but it wasn't a highlight either. But I've never paid extra money for parmesan before. It was only 1.50 but I thought parmesan was part of the pasta

It was just perfect and sooooo delicious😍

Very tasty food - extremely friendly staff - well-kept atmosphere - highly recommended!!!

Friendly and competent service, the food was really delicious and the wine was excellent. Thank you for a lovely evening 😊 We would love to come back 👌🏻

The salami pizza with onions was very good 😀 1€ for onions is fine. Service OK, a bit hectic, the atmosphere was a bit squat and loud, otherwise very nice

Pizza was good but the Spaghetti Arabiata was way too spicy. Service was good but the ambience in the winter garden was a bit sparse.

The *Ristorante da Paolo* in Timmendorf was a great experience. The food was authentic Italian and incredibly delicious, especially the pasta! The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, the service attentive. A wonderful place for a cozy evening!
