Ristorante Pavarotti in Erfurt

An Italian evening after my heart 💓

The service here is absolutely amazing and the food was delicious.

Very delicious ice cream. We'd love to come back again.

Very good: food, service, location

The food at Pavarotti is truly delicious. Anyone who thinks this is a restaurant with a large number of customers who come once and whose satisfaction is irrelevant is truly mistaken. The restaurant itself, with the food we found on Whit Saturday 2025, is worthy of 5 stars. Now comes the "but": an aperitif was served, a Prosecco. There's nothing wrong with that. However, I think it would be appropriate to ask if everyone at the table is consuming alcohol. I personally don't drink alcohol, which ultimately led to a glass being thrown away. There are certainly non-alcoholic alternatives available here for the same price. I would also like to note that the three of us had at least two different menus. While my menu didn't include any burgers, the pizzas on another menu were on average about €1 cheaper.

We're currently sitting here at Pavarotti Restaurant. This service and friendliness can't be topped. If you haven't been here, you're missing out.

The pizza I ordered, Pizza Speziale No. 169, was very good. The crust was crispy, but not too hard. The toppings were plentiful and the appearance was excellent. The taste even surpassed it. The staff was very friendly. If you're ever in Erfurt, you should eat here.

Spontaneous visit. Food was perfectly fine, staff friendly and helpful, and value for money was OK.

Very crowded on a Friday night. Despite that, we didn't have to wait long for our food. The pomegranate iced tea was a 10/10. The pizza was also very tasty. The only downside to the service was that the pasta arrived much earlier than the pizza. However, given the number of guests, it was manageable. All in all, a successful evening.

Delicious food, extremely helpful staff, great location right next to the town hall.

For guests who aren't particularly sensitive to noise, this is a very good place. Guests with hearing aids or similar devices, however, may have difficulty understanding each other, even at their table, as the background noise is quite loud due to the spatial and acoustic conditions. But this is not helped by the truly friendly and pleasant service – and not by the owner, who personally greeted and bid farewell to guests in a cordial manner!

Although we have visited this restaurant several times and generally appreciated it, we were very disappointed at lunchtime in the garden area on May 31, 2025. The waitress was rude to us, which negatively impacted the entire visit.

The ambiance was really nice. Sitting outside on a warm evening, what more could you want? But some of the food was already cold when it arrived. Or undercooked. We had to keep looking for the waiter...whether to order or pay. We waited 15 minutes for someone to come and pay. Somehow, everyone had disappeared in the meantime.

I can recommend this restaurant.

We had a great meal here and the service was very friendly. The food we ordered was not expensive and the portions were large. We had a starter for both of us and spaghetti and risotto. And of course drinks.

The service was friendly and not pushy. The food was delivered quickly and beautifully presented. It tasted delicious. A free glass of wine was a nice touch.

This was my second visit to the restaurant. The first time, everything was great — the food was good, and the male waiters were kind and professional. However, during my second visit, although the food was still decent and the service fast, one waitress completely ruined the experience. She was extremely unfriendly, didn’t even look at us, and spoke in a condescending tone. I don’t know that the restaurant can accept the stuffs that have terribly unprofessional attitude like that. I will never come back.

The menu offers a wide selection, and it takes a moment to decide. The food is excellent, and the price/quality ratio is great. I was disappointed by the ambiance; it lacked any flair or coziness. Music was playing in the background, and the staff at the counter probably had music on their phones, drowning out each other. The staff was rather semi-friendly. What desperately needs replacing is the cutlery! Brief summary... great food, the rest so-so.

A very good Italian restaurant in downtown Erfurt. Relatively inexpensive, very tasty, friendly service, and a good atmosphere. I really enjoyed it. The lasagna was definitely very good!

Super friendly service, first-class cappuccino, we can highly recommend everything.

We're coming on June 15, 2025. I'm really excited.

We were only in Erfurt for two nights, but because we enjoyed the food, service, and ambience at "Pavarotti" so much on the first evening, we immediately made a reservation for the second evening and were very satisfied there too.

Super nice and cozy courtyard to linger in when the weather is nice, friendly service and delicious pizzas.

Delicious ice cream and friendly service.

It is very nicely decorated and the food is incredibly good at a ferry price

The seating, comfort, and overall ambiance were positive and are a reason to return. However, I was somewhat disappointed with the food. Large portions are no substitute for quality. The pasta dishes seemed very mushy, with lots of sauce but no refinement. My dish was Saltimbocca a la Romana, and the white wine sauce was obviously thickened with cornstarch. There was plenty of meat, but it wasn't the best quality and wasn't very tender, and overall there was no refinement in it; it was just a "basic recipe." The chef should be allowed to get creative for once; then the restaurant would become interesting again. Bye.

A very large restaurant in a historic building. The rooms are beautiful, but the great impression is somewhat spoiled by the kitschy decor. The menu is very extensive. The food arrived very quickly, but unfortunately, it wasn't particularly tasty. A typical place to quickly feed tourists.

Top location. Exceptional venue. Very spacious. Several dining rooms inside and outside. A great staff: fast, attentive, witty, and entertaining. Chic interior, cloth napkins, and high-quality tablecloths. Excellent food! An absolute must! Located near the Krämerbrücke bridge. Very central. High-quality Italian wines and a good selection of champagne!

Very crowded. Very close seating. But everything else was great.

-Very friendly staff, -Delicious food and generous portions, -Excellent value for money

Great location. Friendly and competent service. The food was excellent. Large selection of dishes.

Must have been a fancy spot...years ago. Now, kinda funny to see the dying old glory, but in a good way. Food was OK, big portions, pretty cheap. Service was good.

The furniture is a bit dated but the staff is friendly. The schnitzel dish was very quick as it came out of the fryer.

A very nice and very large restaurant. It may look a bit unassuming from the outside, but the outdoor terrace is the real highlight. It offers plenty of space, even for large groups. The service is very quick and friendly. A drink is free, with or without alcohol. Very good value for money. Highly recommended, and the portions are very generous.

Top-notch restaurant. Incredibly delicious and served with a speed that feels like something from another galaxy. Top-notch.

A major player in Erfurt. Probably the nicest Italian restaurant in the city. Very large and designed for the masses. The food is okay, but never bad. The staff are always friendly and respectful.

Sehr freundlich, sehr aufmerksam, bisher war alles lecker. Preis-Leistung sehr gut, nur etwas laut

Went to dinner at Pavarotti in the evening, the taste was very tasty. It took a while for the waitress to notice that we were there. Drinks came to the table quickly, starters and main courses came well prepared. Since we had good sales, it would have been nice if there had been a small drink on the house, as was the case with the guests around us. The service was very friendly. The restaurant is well located at the fish market.

Unimaginably good service, very attentive staff and fast service. Tastes very good. I'd love to come back

Food was great and sufficient, staff friendly and quick, toilets could have been better

I thought the food was fantastic. My pizza never came to the table so quickly.

The waiter was very rude since the moment I got there. There was a misunderstanding while ordering because he did not make any effort to help, he even got mad I was speaking Spanish with my grandma while he was there even though I was talking to him in English, i told him I would pay for the extra dish and even though I said I would pay he was still yelling at me at the table. He was awful and this restaurant clearly does not care about their customers or at least their tourist customers. It is a shame since the food was great.

They put us at the worst table, even though there were better ones available that they gave to two men who came behind. No lamp on the table, no free appetizers like other diners. It tastes good but the dough is a little burnt. The amazing thing: when we go to pay another older waiter comes and brings us the bill, he tells us how much we want to pay because in Germany they tip, when we tell him that we want to pay what is written on the receipt, he charges us and tells us thank you for nothing. I don't recommend it. It is the first time in all the years I have gone on a trip to Germany that they have asked me for a 10% tip.

The Ristorante Pavarotti in Erfurt scores with its excellent location and generous seating options - whether outside in front of the house, in the beautiful beer garden or in the stylishly furnished interior with around 300 seats. The atmosphere is inviting, and the loving design with lots of pictures is particularly noticeable. We went there twice during our stay. On our first visit we received very friendly service, the ice cream was good - an overall successful impression that prompted us to return for dinner the next evening. Unfortunately, the second visit wasn't quite as convincing. These were only minor points, but they added up: a burnt hole in the tablecloth, longer waiting times for service despite other guests arriving later, a lack of cheese for the pasta, no asking for pepper or salad - things that were taken for granted at the next table. The spoon with the pasta was also missing. The pizza was visually great, with good dough, but unfortunately the taste was not convincing. Overall, Pavarotti is a nice restaurant with a lot of potential. If the details mentioned are improved, it can once again fully meet its own standards of quality and service.

If it were possible, I would give 100 stars! The nicest restaurant I've ever been to! Rich, intelligent! The waiters deserve special respect!

It is a wonderful restaurant in a historic setting. The food is excellent. I can highly recommend the spaghetti with wild mushrooms. There is also home-brewed beer. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. We spent a wonderful evening here. Thank you! 👍👍

It was our first time in Erfurt and we had a wonderful meal in this restaurant. But you should reserve in advance.

We were 4 people for dinner. Everything perfect. Pizza, lamb chops and rump steak were all great. Thank you

We (2 adults and 2 children) came spontaneously and got a place straight away. The drinks were on the table 5 minutes after ordering (including a free aperitif). The food was also brought quickly and the portions were barely manageable. The children's plates were also richly filled. The staff was super friendly and the price-performance ratio was very good. Went there again on the second evening and were not disappointed. The volume was, like in any larger restaurant, a bit loud.

The menu says the fries cost €3.90 and the receipt ultimately said €4.50…what a shame!

We recently visited this restaurant, which at first glance impressed us with its very inviting atmosphere and the friendly, if slightly overwhelmed, staff. The atmosphere was pleasant and invited you to relax. To start we ordered a Margherita pizza which was really good - a classic dish that's hard to go wrong with. Unfortunately, the rest of our meal fell far short of these expectations. We also chose a Wiener Schnitzel and a Chicken Schnitzel, both served with potatoes, asparagus and a hollandaise sauce. While the potatoes were fine, the asparagus proved inedible. In addition, the hollandaise was obviously not homemade, which was disappointing for a restaurant of this type. The most serious thing, however, were the schnitzels. These were so heavily soaked in oil that they just looked sad and were absolutely not edible. All in all we were disappointed with our visit. Although the ambience and the friendliness of the staff are positive, we unfortunately cannot recommend it due to the quality of the food and will definitely not be coming back.

We were at the restaurant for the 50th class reunion. The food, service and service were good. We'd love to come back.

A very nice stay in this restaurant. We were very satisfied. Many thanks to the staff.

Stopped here spontaneously, great outdoor area and very attractive interior, great service, delicious food, prices were also okay. Can be recommended without hesitation

We were there for lunch. Very friendly staff. Food very tasty.

Loveless + not tasty Tourist rip-off because of good location

Favorite restaurant in Erfurt. Friendly staff, a wide range of delicious options. Absolutely top value for money

Extremely tasty food and short waiting times, large selection. The cakes are nothing to sneeze at either👍🏻

Very tasty, very nice, very fast, large portions. It's worth it.

Absolutely, great pizzeria, food looks good, ambience excellent, service excellent, we will come back.

Very nice and attentive staff. The pizza was delicious.

My friends and I recently visited this restaurant and left with mixed feelings. On one hand, the atmosphere was pleasant enough and the waitstaff were quite attentive, even though they could have taken the opportunity to ask if we were enjoying our meal. Unfortunately, the food itself fell short of expectations. The fries were disappointingly half-cooked, and the Pizza Margherita tasted like a Pizza Fromage. The spaghetti, laden with champignons and garlic, was overwhelmingly garlicky, and the overall presentation felt rushed and lacked care. While the service and ambiance showed potential, the culinary execution needs significant improvement to match the hospitality. I hope the kitchen takes this feedback to heart and refines their offerings in the future.

Very nice, friendly and fast staff. You feel very welcome there. The food tastes very good. I think the occupancy of the pizzas has decreased. That's not so nice considering the prices.

Very tasty and affordable food.

Really nice restaurant with super nice staff, totally warm and attentive. The pizzas were more than delicious, really fresh and crispy. Absolutely fair price. We felt completely comfortable and will definitely come back!

Went here spontaneously for dinner today. It was quite full but were able to get a seat outside. Drinks came promptly, as did food. However, my wife's asparagus was almost cold, I kindly told the waiter and got a new meal without any hassle, so completely, not just the asparagus. Very nice. Everything else too, hot and delicious. Only recommended.

It's nice to sit outside at the fish market and watch the hustle and bustle with good food

Fast and friendly service, large and generous portions. Very tasty food and an atmosphere that always changes depending on the season.

Were there for the first time, can really recommend... Great value for money, great food Service very complex

During the visit to Erfurt we stopped at the Pavarotti Restaurant (café and dinner). A nicely furnished ambience awaits the guest (with a decorative banquet hall). The service is very attentive and friendly. The dishes (coffee, capuccino, cocoa, cakes and schnitzel dishes) all tasted good. In short: the Pavarotti is worth a visit if you are staying in Erfurt.

Very nice place, delicious pizza and dessert

Unfortunately, the restaurant is completely overcrowded, which isn't a bad thing per se. However, the kitchen should still work on its dishes. Can be expanded. The offering is very diverse The service is attentive and friendly. The ambience has something.

The food was ok but it was warmed up and lukewarm on the plate, that's the biggest criticism!

We have been there several times and it tastes excellent. Unfortunately, vegan options aren't available that much yet. Vegan pizza would be another highlight. We'll be back!

Great restaurant with lots of seats. Had an event with about 80 people...buffet and wine were excellent. In the heart of the old town.

Yes, in principle... very friendly staff, nice atmosphere... but the cake... there is still room for improvement.

Very tasty food. Friendly staff. Nice ambience. Price performance very good.

Anton great🥰🥰 he is the best waiter!!!

All dishes ordered were very mediocre.. don't understand the reviews

Very friendly and nice service.

Very tasty food, highly recommended Sarti. Italy feeling

We got a table for 6 people on Saturday without a reservation. But I would advise you to make a reservation if it is not spontaneous. Our order was taken quickly. As a welcome there was a Prosecco on the house. Our food came after just 15 minutes. It was super tasty. The pizzas are topped with fresh ingredients on an original Italian pizza dough. But the spaghetti and risotto were also incredibly tasty. The waiters are always very friendly.

Good price, decent taste and the food was brought to the table really quickly. Never experienced such speed

Excellent atmosphere. Vitello tomato, and risotto were good. The beef was ok. It was very nice they offered free Prosecco to start with. We ordered Mojito and beers. All good. This restaurant was introduced by peer colleagues in Erfurt. Not expensive and good for a happy dinner with friends.

Super delicious food. We'd love to come back!!!

The food was okay for the price. But unfortunately, I can't say much more about it. The staff tried hard, but a smile would have been nice.

Es war eine Katastrophe. Das Personal war komplett überfordert und das Essen nicht Ansatzweise wie erwartet. Bei Google werden Bewertungen umgehend gelöscht.

Had a bland Italian salad with a can of tuna slapped on top. Tomatoes tasteless, everything slightly fishy. Unfortunately not exhilarating.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, Inexpensive, very high quality, atmospheric, excellent staff, very beautiful and tasty! I RECOMMEND

Very good pizza - higher price range but good value for money

Very tasty food, super fast and friendly service.

Friendly greeting, reservation as requested and stress-free service even though it was packed, Prosecco on the house as a welcome and extremely good pinta, nicely cross and well topped. The open wine is also quite appropriate. Gladly again!

So we can really only recommend it Everything was great from start to finish

The chilli cheese burger is a poem. I love it

Spontaneously went to this beautiful, large restaurant last night. Was greeted very friendly with a glass of wine. The food was very tasty and sufficient, the draft beer was pleasantly cool. I felt welcome and comfortable there. Prices are pleasant. I'd love to do it again 👍☺️

A very well-known and well-attended Italian restaurant for Erfurt residents. You can expect very good quality traditional Italian cuisine here. Since we have a large selection of Italian restaurants in Erfurt, Pavarotti stands out in terms of its size and location. It is certainly possible to celebrate larger celebrations here. The location is perfectly centrally located at the fish market with a connection to the train not far from Domplatz, Anger or Wenigemarkt.

It was a warm welcome. And so it went on. I'll just write this much, thank you for the hours in the restaurant with a lot of effort for the guests. Food great, maybe a little too much, but super tasty.

….Food professionally Italian. Service perfect. The menu deserves more attention. A mess and above all it doesn't do the restaurant justice.

Das Essen war geschmacklich nicht schlecht,aber negativ ist uns aufgefallen das es gefühlt eine Massenabfertigung und somit der Lärmpegel sehr hoch war - was auch sehr stressig war. Auch platzmässig waren wir sehr beengt gesessen, was bei bei mehreren Personen auch schon eine Herausforderung war.

Italian restaurant at the fish market. It is very large and an old building with style. Had a pizza there that was very tasty. The service was also very good and attentive. It is recommended.
