ristorante L ancora in Hamburg

Drop by spontaneously. Everything is simply irresistible. Very friendly staff and a very nice restaurant. Only a 10-minute walk after a harbor cruise. But just as nice for a first date. Just have fun.

The food was soooo delicious!!! So were the owners. If it weren't so far away, we'd definitely eat there more often.

The bread with aioli and tiramisu were very tasty. The pizza lacked a bit of flavor. A good olive oil or a fruitier tomato sauce might have helped.

Friendly service from start to finish. Great food and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended. :)

Good food, friendly staff, recommended.

We came spontaneously and were lucky! The food was incredibly delicious, both the starters and main courses :) Nice atmosphere, good service—everything was great! We'll be back on our next visit to Hamburg—thank you!

Excellent food, with super friendly service in a pleasant atmosphere! Our group of 11 received a very warm welcome and prompt service. The staff created a pleasant atmosphere. Special requests were addressed promptly and with advice, and drink preferences were regularly checked. The food arrived promptly and was delicious and of high quality, from the appetizer to the main course and dessert. A fantastic experience and highly recommended!

To all vegans: despite vegan options on the menu, neither the waiters nor the chef seem to have any idea what that means (unfortunately, this isn't the first restaurant). Despite clearly stating that my dish should be vegan and specifically asking the waiter, I ended up with cheese on my spaghetti again. For these prices, one should expect more background information. A request to restaurant management: please educate your staff that vegan options must be absolutely free of animal ingredients (no exceptions!), or alternatively, remove your options from the menu. List it as a vegetarian option, and everything will be fine. Thank you very much!

Overall, everything is okay, but nothing outstanding. The restaurant is located in a very nice neighborhood, which naturally also means a good atmosphere. The quality of the octopus, sea bream, and salmon tartare is okay. However, the preparation is a bit simple and lacks any special seasoning. If you like it plain, it's okay. Price-wise, it's certainly no longer an insider tip. The octopus is around €35, the tartare €15, and pizzas start at €14. Overall, everything is okay, but no longer a 4.7, as might have been justified a few years ago.

The pizza was very thin and mediocre in flavor. The salad was small. The fact that you don't get bread with butter, for example, beforehand, but have to order it separately... The service was okay, but they were also glad we didn't hold up the table any longer. Everything was more functional than cordial. We won't go there again. I've received four defamation complaints within 12 months. I've challenged them each time and won. Most recently, twice within 10 days. Google can't seem to answer why.

Friendly welcome, delicious food, clear selection of dishes.

Great food, you can't complain. Service is super hospitable. Good value for money, no complaints. Fair prices for good quality.

We recently visited L'Ancora and were absolutely thrilled! You receive a warm welcome as soon as you enter – the team is incredibly friendly and makes you feel at home immediately. The atmosphere is cozy, stylish, yet relaxed – perfect for an evening with friends, family, or just the two of you.

Very tasty food for a good price, friendly staff and a quiet corner, highly recommended, we will be back.

Very great service and delicious food.

Good selection of dishes, food was very tasty

Our visit was an experience, the service was very good and the food was fantastic.

Lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Excellent service with a typical southern flair.

Delicious food in a great location. We received a very warm welcome and had a wonderful time. We'd love to come back! 👍

The appetizers, in particular, were very good. The pasta had too much salt for our taste. The service was friendly and quick.

Great food and a very pleasant atmosphere. The service is very attentive and courteous!

The waiter is so cheerful! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is cozy.

Very friendly, delicious food, cozy atmosphere

Friendly, hospitable, and delicious! We'd be happy to come back. Salute!

Very friendly and helpfull staff(Costel). Good steak and pasta too.

Best lunch in the neighborhood! If you go out for lunch every day, you won't be able to avoid this place! Very varied lunch menu and not meager portions. Absolutely delicious, too. 😋

Food top, service pushy and overwhelmed

The food was delicious, the service a bit snotty, but overall, highly recommended. It should also be noted that we were there with eight children.

I wanted to reserve a table. First, I tried using the contact form on the website: no response! Then, two days later, I sent an email: no response! Yesterday, I tried by phone. They asked me to call again at 9:00 PM. The first attempt was at 9:10 PM: no one answered. After that, I tried every 15 minutes until 10:00 PM: no response!

I liked the atmosphere and the outside seating. The pizza was good but 18€ was a little steep. I know they can basically charge what they want in the area cause it’s very touristic but still. The waiter seemed a little unfriendly at first not looking at us and talking very harsh. He warmed up a little after a while. Anyways prob a good Italian option between all the Portuguese restaurants!

Very tasty and friendly staff with a very nice atmosphere

A very family-friendly atmosphere. Super friendly service and a small but fine selection! Highly recommended!

Very friendly service! Great food and flexible service 🍸👍

The best octopus ever. Family-friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Very friendly service. Arrive and enjoy your meal without any time pressure.

Incredible evening. I'll never forget it.

The restaurant is highly recommended. Excellent food, extensive menu, and very friendly and helpful staff. There's outdoor seating, which is quickly taken in good weather. There's plenty of room inside, though.

Konstantin is the best! I love this restaurant. ❤️❤️❤️

Good food, very friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

The top Italian restaurant in the Portuguese Quarter. Especially for lunch! Great pizza from the original Italian oven, a selection of pasta dishes, and a decent wine list. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommended.

Super truffle pasta and top wine, first-class service

Constantin is the best server, and the food is simply perfect. The pizza is a real Italian pizza, just the way I like it, and the ambiance is simply perfect. Highly recommended.

Great food and a very nice evening!

Everything was great, food was great and service was very friendly

Myself and friends totally enjoyed our experience here last night. Service from the ladies was fantastic, food was excellent, and lovely wine too. Thoroughly recommend 👍

We went there spontaneously one Saturday evening because the reviews convinced us, and we weren't disappointed. Despite the crowd, we got a table for three, received a warm welcome, and felt at home. The waiters were friendly and attentive, and the food was truly delicious. Thank you so much 🤤😁

Very unfriendly and despite many empty tables we were turned away

Delicious and authentic Italian cuisine. Service was a bit slow, but very friendly.

Very good in itself, but the music is too loud and perhaps a more quiet version could be played :)

Anemone in particular was a super waitress!!!!

Casual atmosphere in the heart of the Portuguese Quarter. You sit very close together and you kind of have to like your unknown neighbors. The food was good and tasty. Service was very nice but could be a bit more attentive.

The service was very good! The food came quickly. We had pizza, and it was good. It could have used a bit more seasoning, but overall, it was a solid Italian pizza!

Rarely have I had such a delicious pizza. We chose the restaurant based on reviews and we were absolutely not disappointed. The friendly service rounded off our evening. Thank you very much and see you soon.

Very tasty 😋, it really tasted very good. Always my pleasure.

We were there for lunch. Everything great. Large portions, fair prices, unusual selection. Pasta, meat, seafood, there is something for everyone. First there was bread with aioli. There is nothing to complain about and we would happily come back for lunch.

The food is okay, although like almost everywhere in the Portuguese Quarter it is overpriced for tourists. The fact that the third person's food at the table was forgotten - or not properly understood and not asked about, well.

Once good, now mass processing. When it comes to eating, ingredients are saved. Too bad

Very friendly service, prices are okay and the food was very, very tasty😋

Good portion size, very tasty and cheap Pleasant atmosphere and very nice staff

The restaurant looks very nice, we felt very comfortable. We received a very warm welcome, service was very friendly. The food was very good, we would definitely visit the restaurant again. We liked it very much, thank you

We stopped there last night by chance. We hadn't reserved a table. It was a great evening. Delicious food, delicious wine, friendly and great service. The evening was perfect. Thank you.

Tourist trap!! Very very poor quality food. We had pizza, prawns and pasta carbonara. Pizza was soggy, pasta was just with oil and not creamy - no taste, prawns only tasted of alcohol since they needed to make a fire show. And it was not even cheap. Service was alright, but not good.

Dinner was excellent. We sat outside at tables, there was plenty of space. The appetizers, octopus and salmon, were delicious, and the quantity was also pleasing. Pleasant and helpful waiters recommended dishes according to our request and preferences.

Basically a good Italian but with some flaws. Even without a reservation, you can easily get a table, whether inside or outside in the beautiful atmosphere. The bruschetta was forgotten, didn't come fresh and the food took a long time. The many good reviews are because you get free limoncello in exchange for 5 star reviews... a shame

Stars – A real piece of Italy! We were absolutely thrilled! From the first moment you feel like you are in a small restaurant somewhere in Italy - warmly welcomed, lovingly served and just completely comfortable. The food was to die for: the pasta was homemade, the pizzas were crispy and perfectly topped, and the tiramisu was probably the best I've ever tasted. You can taste that people cook with passion here. The wine selection was also great! Value for money was absolutely right, and the service was attentive but never intrusive. A real gem – we’ll definitely be back!

A very pleasant ambience and a warm atmosphere. The service was extremely courteous and friendly. Kudos to the chef! I enjoyed the Tagliolini al Tartufo accompanied by a glass of white wine recommended by the friendly waitress. A wonderful experience! 🥰

In the Portuguese Quarter. Highly recommended. Small, attractive restaurant with an interesting selection of dishes. No standard. Service very friendly.

Food was very tasty and beautiful to look at...Unfortunately very little on the plate...Not for a tall man. Drinks... For the price, Wildberry Lillet was very sparingly furnished... Service was nice😃

Perfect!!! Excellent food, service, and ambiance

It was a very nice visit here, very friendly and accommodating staff :) Greetings

Very friendly and courteous staff. The food came very quickly and was really tasty. We would come here again.

Very tasty food and very accommodating staff

Very good food, caring service, an all-round successful evening.

GREAT!!! As a Hamburg resident, I enjoy visiting L'Ancora with my wife and child, with friends or even with visitors from other cities! The food is sensational, the service is very friendly and attentive. Finally a noble Italian restaurant that creates quality through the food and not through conspicuous arrogance. We have become regulars!!!

Nice restaurant, very friendly staff and delicious dishes.

Really good Italian food! Everything was super tasty, fresh and perfectly seasoned. The service was quick, extremely friendly and in a really good mood. We felt totally at home - a real highlight on our Hamburg trip!

Service as it is these days - take the order at some point, bring the food and collect - done. If the food is below average, you can manage it yourself at home. Was there pulpo with fried potatoes? There must be a misunderstanding, right? Everything then for 90€. Is this all the new reality now?

The food was very tasty and the staff in particular were particularly friendly. We really enjoyed it here and would love to come back.

Very tasty food and friendly service, we would be happy to come back and highly recommended

everything is fine, gladly again

Everything is correct! Great service and real Italian flavors.

We booked something at short notice for a small group of 9 people. We went out to eat here at the end of the musical The Lion King and spontaneously celebrated our grandma's birthday here. The restaurant hung a Happy Birthday sign at our table, later Happy Birthday was played and the whole restaurant sang along. Grandma got a small birthday cake with candles. It wasn't just grandma who cried 😊 Oh, the food and the staff here are great too 😉

Nice shop. Good for lunch with colleagues

Cozy restaurant, with super friendly staff. What is particularly nice is the passion with which the food was described when asked. It tasted delicious and the ingredients seemed to be of high quality.

What can I say apart perhaps thank you very much for these beautiful moments!

Excellent lunch, great ambience, very friendly service. A clear recommendation!!!

Nice owner good food or worth a try

Excellent food, well priced. Ambience is nice for a casual family dinner or a relaxed first date. Fresh produce makes for a great meal. Wine list is a bit limited.

Quite loud when all tables are occupied.

No reason for complaints. Very nice service, good food, authentic atmosphere, fair prices and good portions. If I lived there it would be "my Italian around the corner"!

Super nice service, super delicious food. New dishes every week.

Always delicious dishes and a regularly changing daily menu! Great service and great location👍🏼

Nice servis,excellent pizza... Cappuccino top

Great pizza at really good prices, so really recommended!

Portion much too small Had 5 small chops but felt like they were 1 2 potatoes and that's a disgrace for €25 4 broccoli Meat tasted something between a cowshed and old socks

Fantastic food, large selection, great appetizer platter👍. Boss/waiter very attentive. Ambience pleasant/cozy! I can't say anything about price-performance - I was invited😁. But I think it's appropriate.

The fish served here is amazing. So perfectly fried and so tasty, really great. We actually just ordered another dish. The chef doesn't seem to love vegetables as much as he does fish, but that's more fun and not annoying. I'll be back

A little too little selection. But everything was very tasty. Greetings from Saxony.

We came without a reservation, but the innkeeper still had room for us. Food very good, menu not overloaded, price rather high. Relatively loud and drafty at times.

So we definitely won't go there again and wouldn't recommend it to anyone else, for us it's just a rip-off of tourists with bad service and toilets that suck! It's a shame, I wanted to have lunch here. No notice on the door when it is opened. It used to be open from 12 p.m.!

It's a shame, I wanted to have lunch here. No notice on the door when it is opened. We were just banned from the restaurant, our menus were snatched out of our hands and our drink order was canceled. Pizza big enough but seasoned bland... Sorry, that's not how you win guests...
