Ristorante Pizzeria Al Dente Schwabing in München

What’s the benefit of having a big family? Apparently, it means you’ll always get good reviews. Otherwise I could not understand the good reviews. The first impression you get when entering this restaurant is that something’s missing. It seems like they ran out of money before they could afford any proper decoration. The room feels empty and unfinished. Next, you’re greeted by a rather unmotivated waitress who, in my opinion, reminded me the service at the bakery on a train station. Not friendly, no smile, and absolutely no interest in the guests. To be fair, the shorter waitress was friendlier — a small but noticeable difference. But the surprises don’t stop there. As soon as you open the menu, you’d think you’re dining at a high-end Italian place on Brennerstraße. The prices are steep — dishes start at €16, with pasta over €20. It gives off the impression that the owner wants to turn €1 of ingredients into €22 profit. It’s a shame, really, because you actually look forward to the food — but then comes the next surprise: the food itself. When ordering fish, no one even offers to prepare it properly. The pizza bread was crispy and tasty — we had the one with tomatoes. But the Spaghetti Marinara were a disappointment: overcooked noodles and ingredients that tasted like they came straight out of a Metro pre-packed bag. The Penne with four cheeses tasted more like Penne with one cheese and a lot of milk.

Best Italian food in Schwabing. The pizza 10/10 ❤️

I am amazed at the reviews. For me it's really not a good Italian compared to Munich. I had 5 ravioli on my plate for €16.50. The pizzas were like frozen. The service so-so. Too bad.

Definitely our favorite Italian restaurant in the city! The food is always fantastic – fresh, full of flavor and just the thing when you're craving Italian food. The service is super friendly, and the whole restaurant has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you want pasta or pizza, you can't go wrong here. Absolute recommendation!

A great restaurant right on Bonner Platz. We come here regularly to eat the very tasty pizza. The restaurant is family-run and you feel very comfortable there. The service is great! Everyone is very accommodating 🙂 It's always worth it if you want to enjoy delicious Italian cuisine. Price performance is also okay.

Best pizza! Everything is right there. Friendly service. Great opening times.

We ate in this restaurant for the first time today and were very satisfied! I had a mixed salad and penne arrabiata - both were really excellent. The noise was a bit loud, but that was because the restaurant was busy - a sign of its popularity. As a starter we had pizza bread, which also tasted excellent. Next time I visit I will definitely try a pizza too. Thank you for the first class service and great food. We'd love to come back!

Simply a good pizza at a fair price, which has become very, very rare in Munich!

Disappointing pizza, ingredients seem to be of poor quality. Why feta on a four cheese pizza? This is not authentic at all. It was also very loud which detracted from the experience. The only positive point: the service, which was friendly and professional. Unfortunately you don't feel like you're in Italy here.

Sweet Italian with good food and great service. Gladly again!

Wow. Finding an Italian restaurant with this quality is not easy. Very authentic and extremely polite waiter. I was thrilled.

Pasta and pizza taste great! Prices are okay and the genuinely Italian-looking waiter was very attentive and courteous. There was a large selection of vegetarian dishes. We were also able to spontaneously get a place for two on a Saturday evening. Great experience! 🫶🏻

Very great Italian restaurant. The food was sensational and prepared in a traditional way. I can only recommend it.

Really nice, cozy Italian restaurant. The pizzas (especially with homemade salsicica) are really tasty. The service, especially the waiter, is very attentive and nice. The restaurant is highly recommended!

I had spaghetti carbonara, I never usually have that. And this is one of the best carb sauces I have eaten. The smoked bacon was delicious 🤤. And the adorable waiter 💛. THANKS!

I got really tasty pizza with real Italian service. I recommend it to everyone!

All of excellent quality. Excellent service

Stumbled upon this Italian restaurant by chance. Centrally located right next to the Bonner Platz subway station on the street but still not noisy. Family run. Very nice and courteous service. Had bruscetta, spaghetti carbonara and the homemade ravioli with cheese sauce. Would love to come back. Will probably try the recommended pizza.

Excellent Italian restaurant a few steps from the heart of Munich. Nice and clean place, friendly and welcoming Italian staff. Excellent quality food. As an Italian, I highly recommend it to anyone who is in Munich and wants to enjoy excellent Italian food. You will be satisfied, I assure you! I will definitely be back!

It is an exceptional Italian restaurant. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is extremely friendly. The dishes are excellent and of high quality. A culinary experience not to be missed! Highly recommended.

The food was delicious. Had a delicious pizza. The dessert was also very tasty. The only thing I would complain about is that maybe the waiters shouldn't be fiddling with their cell phones all the time.

I am really excited! Really great, authentic Italian food and an extremely funny and nice waiter. I'd love to come back!

What a nice place. Visited twice and definitely worth it. we will definitely return. Fantastic pasta, atmosphere and service.. huge recommendations! we will see each other.

Great italian restaurant with delicious food and very friendly staff. Must see if you are in town and in the area :)

Very nice and good "Italian". We feel very comfortable.

Ristorante Pizzeria Al Dente is my absolute favorite Italian restaurant in the city. The service is great. A big compliment to the kitchen too, the pasta is a dream and the pizza is simply classic Italian. All in all I would say a little Italy in Munich. I can only recommend the local, we go there at least once a month.

Always a highlight, super friendly staff, great food

Enjoy your meal We had pizza and pasta There are children's chairs The service is very nice. The shop is also very nice

One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten in my life

Friends from southern Italy also in the splendid setting of Monaco. Highly recommended.

Super friendly and warm staff and my pizza was so good - great dough and fresh ingredients. This is how an Italian restaurant should be! We then immediately used the bowling alley that is in the house - what fun!!! We were all thrilled and will definitely be back soon :)

Very good Italian restaurant with the best pizza in Munich!

Very tasty food and friendly service!

Nice food, really friendly staff!

Ganz tolle Atmosphäre und vom Service mal echt dickes Lob 👍👍👍. Super aufmerksam, und sehr zuvorkommende. Die Küche ist wirklich zu empfehlen 🍕. Wer ne Pizza mit ordentlich Knoblauch bestellt, der bekommt auch ORDENTLICH Knoblauch. 😊👍 Genau so miss es doch sein. Hier wird definitiv erneut gespeist 🍒🧀

Ich trinke da ab und zu ne Halbe nach Feierabend. Die Bedienung ist auffallend freundlich, also wirklich echt freundlich, nicht gespielt. Update Dezember 2023: So, jetzt auch mal dort gegessen. Mit meiner Ex. Preise für Münchener Verhältnisse entsprechend, nicht günstig aber auch nicht zu teuer. Etwas länger gedauert, aber hat sich voll gelohnt. Wir waren beide beeindruckt. Wir haben wirklich selten so gut gegessen. Dies ist kein 08/15-Italiener. Wirklich weit über dem Durchschnitt. Absolut zu empfehlen.

Geht einfach hin und testet es selber. Alles was wir bestellt haben war sehr gut. Wir kommen wieder👍

Allem voran die selbstgemachten Teigwaren zeichnen die Küche aus. Daumen hoch!

Essen war gut, aber die Portionen waren erbärmlich klein! Ich war mit meinem 16jährigen Sohn dort, von den servierten Hauptgerichten hätte er locker 3 bis 4 verdrücken müssen um halbwegs satt zu werden.

Pizza gut, Rest des Essens und Trinkens nur mittelmäßig. Dafür relativ günstig

Ich kann es jedem nur empfehlen. Seit dem Anfang von Corona holen wir uns hier die tolle Pizza und jetzt kann man auch wieder vor Ort essen und die sind super freundlich. Es lohnt sich die Tageskarte anzusehen.

Very average food. My carbonara didn’t have much to do with a real Italian one.

Top restaurant, nettes Personal und leckeres Essen. Immer wieder gerne!

Gutes Essen. Solide, italienische Küche.

Always the best ♥️ I am in love with this place 😊 very friendly staff and amazing food.

Great food with fresh ingredients! Finally happy to find our Italian restaurant in Munich;)

Unscheinbares aber wirklich saugutes Restaurant! Pasta on point ♥️

Great Food, great service, family atmosphere!!!! Fantastic grappa in the end. Always worth to come by when you are in the area.

Ciasto pizzy było mega. Na mojej było troszkę dużo oliwy ale jak kto lubi :) Składniki bardzo dobre.

Eigentlich ein gutes italienisches Lokal, aber den „Tiramisu-Wucher“ den ich dort erlebt hab, hab ich definitiv noch nirgends erlebt…Ein absolut mickriges Stück Tiramisu für 7,90 €…Schade das ich kein Foto gemacht hab…Würde mich tatsächlich interessieren, ob da was falsch gelaufen ist, ich das letzte Stück des Tages ergattert habe oder ob Blattgold verarbeitet wurde, welches ich nicht entdeckt hab…So etwas absolut unverhältnismäßiges hab ich selten gesehen…leider wirklich Wahnsinn, da ansonsten eine nette Atmosphäre im Lokal herrscht und die Pizza auch sehr gut war…

Sehr leckeres original italienisches Essen. Toller und netter Service. Wir waren rundum zufrieden und kommen sicher bald wieder. Vielen Dank!

Sehr freundlicher Service und wirklich gutes preiswertes Essen. Pizzen zum Abholen sind meist schnell in 15-20 Minuten fertig und auch sehr lecker (oftmals mit viel Knoblauch, was ich liebe, aber man sollte es wissen)

sono andata con un’amica italiana. La parmigiana è buonissima !!

Sehr sehr gutes Essen Leckeres Essen nette Ambiente Nettes Personal ich fühle mich immer wohl wenn ich hier esse Das panacotta schmeckt bezaubernd Wirklich empfehlenswert

Das Essen und Ambiente sind hervorragend. Beim Service müssen die Mitarbeiter noch eine Schippe drauf legen.

Esperienza molto positiva! Abbiamo apprezzato molto l’atmosfera del locale. Il cibo è fresco e delizioso e la parte migliore è stata l'accoglienza e la cura riservata agli ospiti. Qui ci si sente come a casa!

Cibo delizioso e porzioni molto abbondati! Complimenti al cuoco e a tutto il personale.

Sehr gut, lecker und freundlich.

Great family-owned restaurant with amazing pizzas. Staff is very friendly and always considerate of our dietary wishes.

Leckere Pizzen und Gerichte. Nettes Team und familiäre Stimmung. Saluti Jacopo :)

Solide und echt leckere Pizza, Belag, Käse, Tomatensoße alles top, einzig der Teig war für mich persönlich nicht so gut. Freundlicher Service, angenehme Atmosphäre.

Ein hervorragender Italiener! Sehr gutes Essen, freundliches Personal.

Authentische Italienische Küche. Sehr zu empfehlen

Authentische italienische Küche
