Ristorante Goldener Hecht da Cesare in Erlangen

Good food, boss complied with the request to pay VERY late,,, took care of another table first. bad crowd in the restaurant, they interfere in other conversations 👎. won't go there again,,,,,,🤷

Hamma awesome. I was in pasta heaven

Delicious food, very nice staff

*************** ;)) Pizza dough and every day 😀🫰

An excellent address. Lunch menu with salad + main course + dessert for less than €10! All very good. I particularly enjoyed the fish, delicious. Well done to the chef!

Bourgeois restaurant with a good range of dishes. I would like to have more courage to try vegetarian dishes.

Pizza was very very good! Only recommended!

Perfect evening like every time.

Cracking pizza in a great location!

See addendum! Delicious pizza and pasta in the restaurant, the service catered to individual requests and it's nice to sit outside. Addendum: We then ordered pizza to be delivered, but unfortunately it couldn't be compared to the one in the restaurant. So I wouldn't recommend it for delivery. Too bad! (The pictures are from the restaurant visit.)

Very tasty but the best thing about the restaurant are the friendly Italian owners :) a touch of Italy in the middle of Erlangen✨

I have been coming to the Golden Hecht for many years and have always been satisfied with the quality of the food and the service. Highly recommended Italian restaurant.

We ordered pizzas and lasagna. The pizzas were okay, but we had the impression that the restaurant sold different/better pizzas. The lasagna just wasn't good. The “béchamel sauce” was no longer a sauce but rather large solid sour lumps. There was hardly any meat in the Bolognese sauce, and it wasn't particularly tasty either. We won't be ordering from there anymore.

Beautifully decorated restaurant, with a good layout, so the ambience is really pleasant! We got a nice spot for three quite spontaneously and late on Sunday evening, which was really perfect. The service was super friendly and I even got tips for my next trip to Napoli 😄 The food was absolutely fantastic and we can absolutely recommend the whole season menu at this time (August 2024). I was particularly impressed by the Neapolitan fried appetizer 😍 I can also recommend the homemade aperitivo, which is very refreshing, and the open Chardonnay. We will absolutely come back when we visit our friend in Erlangen!

Delivery was quick, food arrived really hot. Pizzas were very tasty but the edges were quite dry

Pizza Bufalina and tiramisu were super delicious! Great atmosphere and friendly service! 10/10!

The pizza here is wonderful, great ambience, very fast, warm and competent service - we felt very comfortable and highly recommend this restaurant!

Stayed at Cesare Erlangen today. So I love it, Italian cuisine at its finest, had salmon pasta with asparagus. And the boss of the house is a true Italian, with heart and commitment to his restaurant. In Erlangen I will only feast there 😁😁 many greetings from a happy guest

I ordered 8 pizzas and only 6 were delivered I had already paid via Paypal, otherwise I would have forgone the subsequent delivery When the delivery was made after 1 hour, I had to pay for the pizzas again After a long discussion over the phone with Lieferando Booten, I received my 2 pizzas Bad service was no excuse, I had to justify myself

It was actually quite good but there were a lot of wasps and you couldn't eat at all

The service and food are very tasty. I'd love to come back.

Pizza was great. Made with a real stone oven.

We were there spontaneously and were once again very satisfied. We sat outside and were served quickly and very friendly. The drinks came quickly and the appetizer (bruschetta) didn't take long to arrive either. Very tasty and crispy. The Vitello Tonnato was very tasty and the Pizza Buffalina was also convincing. The local prices are really reasonable and the seating inside and out is very nice. We'd love to come back.

Lunch was good and very affordable. In addition, the fish soup is delicious. Went to eat pizza and pasta again, they were also delicious. The waiter was very friendly and interesting. He insisted that meat sauce cannot be paired with Spaghetti hahahaha

Prepare for a 20% service fee that nobody will mention.

The pizza was too salty and the meat was dull. The service was really nice and the service was good.

Delicious food in generous portions in a suitable rustic atmosphere and very friendly and courteous service.

Everything was great! Food was brought quickly and was really tasty. The waiters were all really friendly. We'd love to come back

Very nice staff and boss Pizza is great! Everything happened very quickly

very tasty - had a salad Italiano - was super tasty! Pizza bread was also great, pasta with truffles... wild!!

Very good meals. Service friendly. Very nice.

We were there with 30 people, the food was perfect, the service also worked great, we were completely satisfied and would be happy to come back.

Good food, cute setting, wonderful service

Unfortunately, our experiences were mostly negative, typical classics were over-salted, sauce tasted the same in all dishes, and noodles were soft. Toilets were not lockable. We were disappointed.

Friendly staff, great food options with set lunch prices, clean washroom :)

It used to be better there. Although the pizzas were OK, there may have been too much oil on them. But the salad had way too much dressing. Fast service. Narrow street space unfortunately still a bit foggy from passing cars.

Wait 2 hours even though it says 30 minutes. You will be shouted at on the phone if you ask. Great shop, good luck to everyone who orders :)

One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten, by far the best in the area!

Very tasty food. Service very friendly. With nice outdoor seating.

Loved the food and the service.

Highly recommend pizza! Noodles are not always at the highest level. The service is very friendly and the atmosphere is really authentically cozy!

A perfect evening! Food, service and ambience top.

Very tasty food and nice atmosphere. Family run restaurant. We'd love to come back.

Never eaten such bad pizza!! Apparently it should be real Italian cuisine!!!

The Golden Hecht in Erlangen is an absolute insider tip. Led by a great team led by Cesare, this restaurant stands out for its outstanding service. The staff is always friendly, attentive and strives to provide guests with an unforgettable experience. Particularly noteworthy is Cesare, a fantastic host and brilliant pizza maker. The pizza at Goldener Hecht is simply brilliant. Authentically Neapolitan and prepared in the middle of Erlangen, there is no better pizza in the city - except perhaps in Naples itself. The ambience is rustic and friendly, but still extremely well maintained. The quality of the ingredients is of the highest quality. The Italian Napolitano Soul cuisine is not just cooked here, but prepared with the love and care that is practiced by the grandmothers in Naples. The result is a culinary experience that you should definitely try for yourself. The Golden Hecht not only offers excellent food, but also excellent value for money. I can highly recommend a visit here. Come and see for yourself!

We had a very great evening with a large group there today. The food and service were excellent. We'd love to come back!

Great food. Great people. What more do you want.

There were 6 of us here for our daughter's birthday. Had previously reserved a table in a corner online. It also worked very well. Very friendly service; However, we forgot to order soup from the kitchen twice. The service lady immediately apologized and otherwise the food was excellent. Rather high price level but reasonable. The ambience could be renewed a bit. Doesn't have the feel of a sophisticated Italian restaurant. By the way: The best place to park is in the Fuchsenwiesen. Theater square is almost always full.

Ordered three pizzas, it took a very long time... We were very happy, then came the big disappointment... The pizzas were topped with champions that were black and brown and smelled very disgusting! I complained afterwards and was then told that the mushrooms had been in the water for a long time. Never, never, ever again!

Food excellent. Service cannot be beaten in terms of friendliness. Always my pleasure.

The food was really fantastic, the price is absolutely justified. The staff was always attentive and friendly. We will definitely come more often! Insider tip, the spicy pizza.

It is simply the best pizza in Erlangen. There is no need to say more.

The food is very tasty😍😍and the people are very friendly and nice ♥️

Very warm and friendly service and welcome, also from the boss personally. The food is of a high standard. I am very satisfied and we would like to go there more often.

Great pizza. Original Neapolitan. Great service. Nice boss. Great vegetarian starter. I would go back immediately.

We were there for lunch with 6 ladies. We were served warmly and cheerfully. The delicious Italian cuisine at a fair price, the good aperitivo and the cozy ambience invite you to come back.

Cesare, I have no words!!! just perfect!!!

Super tasty and authentic restaurant.

Yummy !! 🤤 very very good pizzas 🍕

Food was good to very good. We didn't have to wait long. We ate in the restaurant. There was an aperative at the end. When we wanted to pay, the boss came. We had to tell him what we had and he added everything up Block. (I thought we would get a bill because of the receipt requirement). Then he said 144 euros. I thought that was a bit high but didn't think anything of it at first and gave him 150 euros and said that's true. He thanked me. We went out. I added everything up again because what he charged seemed high to me. It came to 125 euros. I did the math again. Again 125 euros. So I would have paid 130 with a tip. He charged us 20 euros too much. I didn't think it was ok at all. I'll never eat there again because of the rip-off.

At Cesare there is always great Italian dishes, especially fish dishes and delicious daily menus. When I'm in Erlangen, I always stop there.

We ordered three pizzas and dessert. The pizza was terrible. Waited over an hour. Then she was almost cold and mushy. I've never had anything like this before. Dessert was OK.

Too much salt but otherwise very fine

Edit end of 2023: today we are trying again to have this criticism deleted. People, learn to deal with criticism, it won't work. I can only advise everyone not to eat here because the owner cannot handle real and appropriate criticism. Edit 2023: tried to have this review deleted, so 0 stars and I certainly won't eat here again. Seems to have slowed down quite a bit in the last few months. The pizza is good, no question about it, but in fact it's only partially proven. The covering starts almost three centimeters lower (see picture). So I got a small sandwich pizza, not what I wanted. Why do you think I order a large pizza? Because I assume there is more coating on it than a small one. Do I order here again? Probably not, because to me that's cheating.

Order placed around 11:15 a.m. with delivery time at 12:00 p.m., pizzas were delivered at 12:50 p.m. and were now completely soaked. This is the second time this has happened. Was the last order there.

Nette Bedienung und leckeres Essen - gerne wieder Liebevolle Deko vor dem Lokal

Italien so wie ich es liebe. Begeistertes Personal, rustikales Ambiente und bodenständiges, super Essen. Mein Tipp; frage nach einer Empfehlung

Sehr leckere italienische Pizza und sehr nettes Personal

Really great food and an amazing, authentic atmosphere, highly recommended if you like Italian food. Don‘t skip the bruschetta, one of the best I‘ve ever tried.

Sehr schönes Restaurant in der Erlanger Innenstadt. Tolle, klassisch italienische Küche. Man merkt, dass hier Könner am Werk sind in der Küche! Auch am Service gibt es nichts auszusetzen, absolut freundlich, aufmerksam und zügig. Kurzgefasst: Der beste „traditionelle“ Italiener in Erlangen - immer wieder gern!

edit 2023: owner has tried to delete this review by means of a lawyer, claiming I cannot prove I was an actual customer and the review was fake. This is all you need to know really... Pretty average tasting food - dough is done well, sauce was watery but okay. Owner seems to be controlling which leads to miscommunication (we were brought multiple drinks twice despite ordering once, clarified vegetarian substitution to a dish was disregarded and served with meat). Waiting time for the wood was almost one hour. We also didn't pay the waitress, but the owner himself who re-took our whole order again at the end adding everything up.. not sure what's going on there. There were a couple of disturbances during our stay like staff arguing with people passing by. All in all not really a pleasurable experience.

Schnelle Lieferung + leckeres Essen 😊

Sehr lecker in angenehmer Atmosphäre zu Abend gegessen.

Echt gutes Essen in angenehmen rustikalen Ambiente.

Ich habe nur ein Wort für dieses Lokal : ÜBERRAGEND!!

Fantastic food, wonderful service, excellent price. Would highly recommend. Many thanks for a fantastic evening.

The restaurant has very friendly staff, a pleasant atmosphere and very tasty cheese pizza

Das ist von guter Qualität. Sehr freundlich zugewandtes Personal. Kleine Unannehmlichkeiten werden umgehend entschuldigt und ausgebessert, ohne Diskussionen. Der Service ist manchmal etwas langsam, bzw. der Koch, aber das Essen ist sehr lecker. Die Preise sind angemessen. Der Gastraum ist ein wenig urig, aber sauber und angenehm. Der Aussenbereich ist ebenfalls sauber und angenehm. Die Sanitäranlagen sind vorhanden und einwandfrei, sauber. Ich kann diese Gastwirtschaft nur empfehlen . Wir kommen jetzt regelmässig hier her.

Super Essen freundliche Bedienung 5 *

Wir hatten Lust auf eine Fischplatte und kannten den Goldenen Hecht noch aus den 2000er Jahren. Unser Fazit: Bis darauf, dass der Chef noch derselbe ist, ist der Goldene Hecht zwischenzeitlich ein absolutes No-Go geworden. Mehr als nur schmuddelig um den Pizzaofen herum (Wäre definitiv einen Besuch des Gesundheitsamtes wert), Pippigeruch von den Toiletten ins Restaurant herein, ungepflegte, schmuddelige Köche, die im Innenhof lautstarkt ihre Zigarttenpausen machen; eine völlig gastronomieunerfahrene Servicekraft , völlig inakzeptable Wartezeit (bei nahezu leerem Restaurant; das Geschäft scheint mittlerweile eher auf Take away ausgerichtet zu sein) und zwei winzige, also völlig überteuerte und komplett versalzene und zu Tote gegrillte, also völlig trockene Fisch"platten". Nie mehr wieder.

Bestes kulinarisches Erlebnis in Erlangen. Mein neues Lieblingsrestaurant. Wie klein Italien

Vera cucina italiana Locale molto bello Servizio ottimo personale gentilissimo

War top, v.a die nette junge Bedienung mit den langen schwarzen Haaren 🙃waren heute 07.10 um 18uhr bei euch essen

Gutes Essen, sehr netter Service! Das Personal und der Chef sind sehr bemüht alle Wünsche zu erfüllen! Sehr herzliche Atmosphäre!

Tolle Lage, sehr aufmerksamer Chef, excellence Küche, sehr gemütlich. Preise okay. Wir durften wählen ob wir draußen oder drinnen sitzen wollen. Service kam öfter und fragte, ob wir noch etwas wünschen. Espresso und Dessert wurden angeboten. Angenehme Atmosphäre.

Super angenehmes kuscheliges Restaurant mit netter Bedienung und toller Atmosphäre! Die Vorspeisenplatte ist sehr zu empfehlen! Die Pizzen sind auch sehr gut! Absolut zu empfehlen!

Da fühle ich mich wie in Italien

Perfekt um draußen in der malerischen Gasse zu sitzen und Top süditalienische Küche zu genießen. Familiengeführt, voller Seele und geschmacklich einzigartig.

Schön war es. Die Pizza war grandios. Selten habe ich einen solch knusprigen Pizzateig gegessen. Wirklich empfehlenswert!

Tolle Pizza! Wir waren zum Abendessen im gemütlichen Außenbereich bei sonnigem Septemberwetter. Wir hatten Pizza Schinken Champignon und Pizza Caterina mit Nduja. Der Teig beider Pizzen war absolut top: Aussen leicht knusprig, innen fluffig, grosse Blasen. So geht Pizza! Der Belag der Schinken Champignon war reichlich, die Nduja (scharfe bröselige italienische Wurst) war von top Qualität. Nach dem Essen noch ein nettes Gespräch mit dem Inhaber. Man sieht uns wieder!

Super nettes Personal! Unser Essen war eine 10 von 10. War unser erster Besuch und kommen gerne wieder her. :)

Das Essen ist sehr gut so wie, Ambiente und Service.

Wunderschönes Ambiente, vorzügliches Essen und sehr nettes Personal.

Tolles Restaurant, autentisch! Natürlich, hier ist eine kürzere Version meiner Bewertung: Die Pizzeria Goldener Hecht in Erlangen ist fantastisch! Hervorragende Pizza, gemütliche Atmosphäre und geniales Personal. Ein Muss für alle Pizza-Liebhaber!

Pasta Trofie mit Zucchini gamberi e calamari war sehr lecker

Eine zu 100% Geschmackvolle Pizzeria die in der Region ihres gleichen sucht . Ein wirklich exzellenter Geschmack Der Pasta Gerichte , besonders die Rigatoni al forno . Perfekt abgeschmeckte Soßen und die Nudeln perfekt al dente . Die Pizza ist auch Original Neapolitanisch sehr lecker . Die Preise sind total angemessen und fair . Kann diese Pizzeria nur empfehlen . Wir kommen auf jedenfalls wieder .

В цьому закладі приємний та привітний персонал. Приємна обстановка і доволі велике затишне приміщення 👍👏👏👏

Jedes Mal habe ich das Gefühl nach Hause zu kommen. Das Essen hervorragend, das Ambiente Italien pur und der Service freundlich aber auch etwas chaotisch. Fehler werden aber unkonventionell gelöst. Gerne wieder.

Such a nice restaurant with cool cozy and friendly atmosphere, and staff, food is great. Star missing for cleanliness and smell of the toilets honestly could be much better.

Die Vorspeisenplatte für 6 Leute war einmalig! Ich habe noch nie eine Bessere mit mehr Auswahl gegessen! Auch die Meeresfrüchtepizza war phantastisch! Würde fürs Essen auch gerne mehr Punkte geben! Nicht so gut ist die Bestuhlung draußen: super eng und wenig Platz, aber das Essen macht fast alles wieder wett.
