Ristorante La Gondola in Baden-Baden

A quaint restaurant with great food and service, perfect and super friendly

We reserved a table and got one straight away. More on that later. Service and food were good, I also ordered something that wasn't on the menu. The restaurant was full and it's not very big, so it was very loud. People were always asking if everything was OK. The people who had reserved a table still had to wait until a table was free, I often noticed that during that time. Food came quickly and none of us thought it was bad and were very satisfied .We'll be back

The good times at La Gondola are over. Service very bad. Really disappointing

Very nice place. I stay in winter, then only inside was possible but the atmosphere was really nice, food excellent and service (by the boss!) very friendly.

We randomly stopped by this place without reservation, and it did not disappoint!!! It's the best Italian food I've ever had (I've never been to Italy though). It's a small charming place. You know you're in the right spot when you see it packed when they first open with a bunch of Italians dining there as well. Staff is friendly and the menu is in English. The Tagliatelle pasta had perfect texture to it, and the lasagna was amazing. It's just the perfect amount of sauce to noodle to meat and cheese ratio. My friend is also picky with lasagna and said he enjoyed it as well. The minestrone soup was very warming and delicious to eat. The veggies tasted so fresh in it! The pizzas are also good here. I'm not a huge fan of pizza but theirs was delish! The bread wasn't too dense, but it was still chewy. I highly recommend dining here if you're craving some Italian.

Very tasty food and top service.

A very narrow and dark restaurant. But the food was absolutely amazing. Definitely coming back :)

Quaint restaurant, authentic Italian cuisine, friendly service! Excellent food! 😍 highly recommended!

The best pizza I've ever eaten outside of Italy. Crispy, thin base and lots of cheese. The service is also extremely friendly!

Didn't convince us. The food was okay except for the dessert. The tiramisu was bad. In response to the complaint, we were promised a Ramazzotti, which was never delivered. The service was overwhelmed. The facility is a bit old.

Kleines günstiges italienisches Restaurant, Pizza war der Absolute Hammer. Rand knusprig und viel Käse. Einfach genial

From the starter to the dessert everything was delicious. There is a star deduction for the ambience because it was very cold in the restaurant. Who wants to feel cold while eating? The service was very friendly.

Relatively inconspicuous trattoria from the outside, rustic and cozy inside, excellent carbonara, on request 'original' version without cream, eggs creamy, as it should be, not set... friendly service, friendly host, here for the first time on the way back from Colmar, Ramazzotti on the house... would be happy to come back if it suits you... recommended

Very tasty food, cozy Italian, it's busy, but that's part of it.

excellent cuisine, very warm welcome and fair prices

Super small and cute shop. Great family atmosphere and food that at least tastes like you're in Italy. Always happy ☺️

Everything is great! Very nice atmosphere, very tasty food and sooo nice service. We keep coming back!

Fast, helpful, friendly. Prosecchino waiting. Eaten well and with gusto. Congratulations!

Scam ! 9 euros the botte of water maybe tapwater (not unscrewed by the waiter) 29 euros the bottle of basic rosé

Thank you, my brother Ibrahim, for being extremely polite and helping me search for what I want. The restaurant is very wonderful and the taste is once delicious 😋

Authentic and supercalifragilistic...

Delicious food, the Ravioli & Fungi Pizza is amazing. I would like to thank the waiter Jihad for his nice hospitality and the way how treat customers. The restaurant is worth to try it!

Everything was super tasty, Italian flair, nice staff

The best restaurant in all of Baden Baden. An Italian of incredible quality, a very wide variety of dishes ranging from pasta and pizza, to salads, meat and fish. I recommend the pasta, great flavor. Super friendly and attentive service. We went for two days and both were unbeatable.

At the top! We were looking a little away from the tourist restaurants in the center. Perfecto! No fuss, a family atmosphere, the three of us had a pasta dish, it was very good and for a normal price. Well done 👍

First of all, for your information, I can no longer see and am making this message via the language program so that errors can occur, especially when it comes to rating points, so first of all I give 5 points or stars in one category except for ambience because I can no longer see that This time we sat on the street or terrace in the street in front of the restaurant because the weather was really great, not too warm. Walter wind was blowing through the street. The reception was once again warm. The family then baked it with cheese and so is Pizzaiola Zucchini Broccoli Ate eggplant and then had a variation of dessert. It was once again a great treat and I would be happy to come back

Such a great spot, wonderful Italian fair served in the most convivial of atmospheres. The owner was mingling among the diners. A total performance. Everyone waiting for tables given a glass of spumanti. A memorable night in Baden Baden.

We arrived without making a reservation and were seated at a table outdoors. The food came pretty fast, the owner came for a chat and the prices were very good. The food was really really tasty. My oldest son did not really like the taste of his carbonara (you know...kids...) so he hardly touched it. When asked the bill one of the employees came to tell he did not charge for the dish. What an amazing act of kindness! 🙏

A very friendly place with good and simple cuisine...very warm welcome and fast service

Wonderful terrace on the steps to Augustaplatz. Baden-Baden is at our feet. Stefano shortened the short waiting time with a glass of champagne. Here you feel like you are in Bella Italia 🇮🇹🍕🍝

Fantastic: very friendly, very tasty, very authentic. Thank you for the lovely evening

If you like to eat well, in a typical, friendly setting. The prices are very reasonable. Don't miss the opportunity to go there. We ate 4 days in a row, lasagna, pasta, pizza were excellent. The tiramisu is incredible. I recommend 100%.

Great food. Very nice waiters. Great ambience

If you want to escape to Italy for a while, this is the right place for you. Ambiance, food and staff are typically Italian ;-)

Top price for lunch! Starter, several main courses to choose from, drinks plus coffee 👍 Nice service! Gladly again.....

Dirty, regular service, unpleasant to find a salt shaker on your table full of hair.

Awesome service and food. Stefano is a great host

Everything was fine until the moment we had to pay. The amount was not small! The waiter didn't like that they left little tip! He expressed his opinion on this matter very loudly and not very politely. He promised not to let us into this restaurant again. It was very unpleasant!!!!👎

We were celebrating a birthday and everything was great and fun. But when we went to pay the bill, the waiter shocked us with his reaction to the tip. He said loudly that we had given far too little and that he had never experienced anything like that. We couldn't believe it and at first thought it was a joke. But it was serious. We were so shocked that we left the restaurant immediately.

We had dinner at a restaurant with friends. The waiter was drunk. He behaved familiarly. They brought a bill for 200 euros. We paid by card. The waiter began to demand tips. Loudly, he humiliated us for the whole restaurant. Pure extortion. There are other decent restaurants in Baden Baden.

Ужинали в ресторане с подругами. Официант был пьян. Вёл себя панибратски. Принесли счёт на 200 евро. Мы оплатили картой. Официант стал требовать чаевые. Громко, на весь ресторан унизил нас. Чистой воды вымогательство. В Баден Бадене есть другие достойные рестораны

Pizzeria Ristorante La Gondola is simply fantastic! The service is great, the staff is friendly and attentive. The selection of drinks leaves nothing to be desired and the quality of the food is excellent. The price-performance ratio of the pizzas is particularly impressive – simply unbeatable! Every visit is a pleasure. Highly Recommended!

Es ist immer wieder schön, aber die Küche Zubereitung der Essen ist nicht immer gleich gut, überwiegend nettes Personal, Preise haben sich erhöht, nicht alle Essen passen zum Preis, Qualität lässt bisschen nach

Great quaint pizzeria. A bit dark and narrow. But everything works perfectly, everyone takes care of the guest. Boss welcomes everyone personally. Best bruschetta we have eaten so far. Tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms and bacon are recommended.

Great Italians in Baden-Baden! Great food and quirky atmosphere like in Italy. EXACTLY like in Italy. Ordered at 6:30 p.m.? “Sorry, no table available right now.” In return you get a glass of Prosecco on the house while you wait. Eating at Stefano's is always an experience!

I highly recommend it, great atmosphere, professional service.

La Gondola is an institution in Baden Baden. It's been around forever. The owners are true Sicilians. Funny, friendly and very concerned about the guests. As always, the food was delicious and the prices were very fair for this location. See you soon

As soon as other guests came, we were greeted with the words: “Friends, can you do me a favor? Pay!” more or less “removed” from the restaurant - before we had finished our drinks or could order dessert. We used to love going there, but now we won't see La Gondola again.

Real Italian restaurant. The service makes the visit an experience. Absolute recommendation.

Very very good food and service

Little Italy. Absolute feel-good atmosphere! Food fresh and delicious!

Good Italian home cooking (my lasagna excellent). Family atmosphere and very busy place. A little dark and tables very close to each other, but that's the style of the place. Reasonable prices by German standards. About €20/pax.

Clear recommendation. Eggplant on the pizza 🤌🏼

Goodbye people, we are very disappointed, children's portions, too expensive, not even soap in the toilet and everything is unclean, you can't and shouldn't recommend that Best regards

A very old-fashioned place. Everything was kept very dark. All windows closed. You can't even look outside. The toilets are a case for themselves. There isn't even soap available for washing your hands. Portions too small, correspondingly too expensive.

We weren't from the corner, so we first had to find the restaurant and a parking space in front of it (go into the parking garage!!) The food was very tasty and before the food came there were peppers marinated in oil. Definitely try this, very tasty (spicy) The ambience wasn't really my thing, but the waiter and the owner were so amusing and in a great mood that it was really fun to talk to them.

Nice restaurant, good service. I've only eaten salad now but I'll definitely come back for pizza...

Too dark, too expensive for just standard Gerische, but tasty, too loud, everything much too narrow...

I chose the restaurant for a business lunch and occupied the table for too long. This was communicated to us quite loudly and we had to move around while we were eating. I've never experienced that before and it made me more than uncomfortable.

A very nice little restaurant with good food and extremely nice hosts and waiters.

La Gondola, hidden on a side street in Baden-Baden. When I entered the restaurant, I thought time had stood still, the pizzeria is so rustic and quaint. The landlord and the staff are great! I have rarely experienced such a relaxed, friendly atmosphere in a restaurant. The food was delicious 😋 and plentiful. Price-performance is right! It was my first time in the restaurant but not the last time. Thank you for the relaxing stay.

Rustic, cozy, almost rustic. In any case, extremely good Italian. We had classic (German): pizza and pasta, panacotta and espresso and were so impressed that we want to come back to try the other Italian dishes of fish and meat. Friendly welcome, attentive service. The price-performance ratio is right, especially considering that you are in Baden-Baden. Please note: there is a lunch break between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Super nice, and the food is really tasty

Super tasty food and super nice staff

Very good food and exceptionally friendly service.

Wir sind viel unterwegs und kennen viele Lokalitäten, aber hier bei Claudio und Stefano fühlt man sich immer Zuhause und willkommen. Egal wie voll das Restaurant ist, er findet immer einen Platz, selbst wenn das ganze Lokal einmal umziehen muss. Jeder macht da gerne mit :) Speisen sind typisch und urig, Preise okay und ein Prosecco aufs Haus auch. Danke an alle Brüder und Freunde, die das Lokal zu dem machen, was wir mögen.

A great experience. You feel like you're on vacation in Italy. Great atmosphere, first class service and very good food

Probably the insider tip in Baden-Baden, personal service, super delicious food, we have been coming here for years and always leave satisfied

Alles in Allem gibt es kein Grund für Kritik. Personal sehr aufmerksam. Hab dort eine Pizza mit dem besten Teig gegessen. Wirt sehr freundlich und kontaktfreudig.Es war alles super.

Klasse Restaurant. Von Anfang bis Ende!

Wanted to have some Italian food and some wine after several days visiting Germany. La Gondola was well rated, and this place did not disappoint. We chose pizza, a bottle of wine, and finished with tiramisu. Saw several pasta dishes brought to tables that made us think about ordering that next time. The host and waiter were wonderful. This is a must go when in Baden-Baden.

Kleines und wirklich authentisches italienisches Restaurant. Das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Das Essen war mehr als gut. Ein Highlight in Baden Baden und auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

Das Essen war lecker, die Preise zivil und der Chef ist sowieso super freundlich. Gott sei Dank gibt es noch so ein Restaurante/Pizzeria in Baden-Baden.

Stefano und sein Team sind einfach nur toll. Bei mir hat La Gondola ein Platz in meinem Herzen. Ein super Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis. Im Sommer bekommt man draußen ein absolutes Italien Feeling, so mitten auf den Stufen zu sitzen beim Klang von italienischer Musik♥️

Super sympathischer Empfang. Der Chef scheint jeden persönlich zu kennen. Das Essen ist lecker und frisch. Auch unter der Woche recht gut besucht.

Wat een leuke plek om te genieten van heerlijk italiaans eten. Zelfs op maandagavond zit het restaurant vol. Dus reserveren is echt aan te raden.

Gleich zu Beginn großer Druck, doch schnell zu bestellen....wir waren noch gar nicht richtig angekommen. Essen war durchschnittlich aber nichts besonderes. 2cl Limoncello 7,50!Allgemein zu teuer für das was geboten wird. Daheim bemerkten wir, dass 1 Pizza zuviel auf der Rechnung stand. Da gehen wir nicht mehr hin....

Fünf von fünf Sternen ! Habe hier heute die beste Pasta frutti di mare gegessen- preise und speisen absolut top- das Restaurant ist an sich sehr klein- aber dennoch gemütlich. Auch am Service war nichts auszusetzen. Reservieren ist aber dringend notwendig, da es immr sehr voll ist.

Typischer Italiener , Kommunikation mit Herz, Essen super, Pizza und Nudeln gegessen, mehr Italiener geht nicht 👍

Je suis venu ce midi et je suis très content. Le personnel est très gentil, la pizza est excellente, le tout dans un cadre superbe. Je recommande

Super authenische Pizzeria mit mega tollem Service Sehr zu empfehlen

꼭 미리 예약을 해야하는 인기있는 식당. 비좁지만 화기애애하고, 특히 스테이크는 꼭 먹어야하는 메뉴

Ich fühle mich wie in Rom, wenn ich auf den großen Treppenstufen sitze und italienisch esse und trinke. Grandioses Flair!!!!

Hervorragender Service, gemütliche Atmosphäre.

Looking for good Italian food in Baden-Baden? Go to La Gondola! Stefano and his team are excellent all the way around. Food is great; Service is attentive, relaxed and helpful and the atmosphere (inside and out) is awesome. These guys work hard and love what they do and it shows!

Awesome place, great hosts, delicious food.

Sehr sehr sehr lecker sehr freundlichen Chef top Qualität von allem Service Ambiente Ist ein muss wenn man einen Besuch in Baden Baden macht

♥️♥️♥️♥️ The pasta was very delicious

Poprawna włoska pizza, dobry stosunek jakości do ceny. Przyjemny włoski klimat, miła obsługa. Czysta toaleta. Plus za szybkie udostępnienie nam stolika, mimo iż nie mieliśmy rezerwacji.

Leckeres Essen, freundliche Bedienung. Immer wieder gerne!!!

Draußen sitzt man in Baustellenatmosphäre an wackeligen Plastiktischen, die nicht für romantische Abende geeignet sind (Stand: Sommer 2020). Unseren reservierten Tisch fanden wir mit angebissenem Brot vor. Der Service entfernte dieses nach einem lustig gemeinten Kommentar. Vor der Reservierung hatten wir uns bereits vorhandene Google Bewertungen durchgelesen, die das Lokal öfters als „besten Italiener der Stadt“ betitelten. Somit kamen wir mit entsprechenden Erwartungen was in erster Linie das Essen betraf. Hier wurden wir leider enttäuscht: Das Essen war kaum gewürzt und geschmacklich keine Besonderheit. Beim Bestellen der Rechnung erhielten wir noch einen kleinen Absacker „aufs Haus“.

Tout s’est parfaitement bien passé, Service très agréable et pizza excellente, je recommande Gracie mille!

This was a really nice, cozy and tasty experience. The staff is really friendly and adds a very personal touch to the service, and the food is great! We liked the snail appetizer so much we orderd another serving after we were done with our main dishes.

Sehr leckere Gerichte, Pizza und Pasta. Netter Inhaber. Schönes Ambiente. Nun auch ein Aussenbereich. Die Küche ist in der Lage, auf Wünsche einzugehen.

Ein Stück Italien direkt in Baden-Baden. Gute Preis - Leistung

Als hätte ich an einem Abend Platz genommen in einem kleinen Restaurant in Italien. Unglaublich authentisch mit einem mehr als zuvorkommenden Service war die frische Pasta mit Steinpilzen wie von einem anderen Stern.

Geschmacklich gut aber überteuert. Service war OK.

Una cena inesperadamente especial, comida muy buena y estupendo servicio.

Arrived at 7pm. Our starters arrived before the drinks which were ordered less than 5 minutes before. Our main course arrived before we'd finished our starters so I sent them back. Still no drinks. Drinks finally arrived just in time for our mains to be brought out within two minutes of the starters finishing. Risotto Bolognese was like an oily soup. We left the restaurant at 7.45! One of the waiters serving us was rude and obnoxious. Having read the reviews on Tripadvisor we arrived with high hopes of a great evening with great food but left aft 45 minutes feeling very rushed and underwhelmed. This is not how I expect to be treated when we book a table.

Hier fühlt man sich besonders auf der Sommerterrasse wie in Italien. Herzliche Gastgeber, gutes Essen, schöne Atmosphäre. Manchmal sogar Musik.
