Ristorante Pizzeria Santa Maria in Dornum

The 35km extra journey for the pizzaria was worth it. The food was perfect, the service was top notch

Food was very tasty. Staff was very friendly. The price is right, gladly again.

We were lucky and got a table outside without a reservation. Everyone was really nice (my child had slightly injured his finger and was immediately given a plaster) and very accommodating. The steak was on point and very tasty. Just like the Bolognese pasta

A place to feel good with great service and very good food.

We had a great evening with 4 people with delicious food and great service. We had pizza, pasta, salad and tzatziki and everything was really tasty and fresh. The service was great, the young waitress and the young waiter were great - friendly, attentive and had the odd good joke. The furnishings are a bit older and the decoration is very folkloristic - you have to like it. They also said very nicely that we missed the closing time and so that we didn't leave too quickly, we got an extra masala from the boss - great. And all of this at the end of the season, when we would have understood a little “breathing out”. Although we have been coming to Dornumersiel for a long time, we have avoided Santa Maria - wrongly and we will now go there more often.

Delicious food in a very friendly atmosphere

We came in the evening without a reservation and were warmly welcomed and given a table for an hour, all good. Ambience really cozy and inviting. We chose the gypsy schnitzel with fries and salad, unfortunately the gypsy sauce took some getting used to, but overall it was okay.

Well, the restaurant is really quaint and romantic, and the staff is super nice. We tried the Inferno pizza and it was absolutely amazing! We haven't eaten anything this spicy since our last vacation in Mexico. Respect! We'll definitely be back.

Even if the pizzeria is packed, the food is absolutely bad. The pizza tastes like the sole of a shoe. A can of tuna and a few onion rings. The base was just thin, hard and didn't even taste as "good" as a ready-made pizza... The pasta sauce was lukewarm and the cream sauce just tasted like milk with spinach. The cleanliness also leaves something to be desired. At least the service was nice. Absolutely not recommended for holidaymakers who can cook!

We were there this evening with 7 people. The children were warmly welcomed. The food came very quickly and was very tasty. Everyone enjoyed it. We can only recommend the restaurant with its fair prices. Thank you

After a long walk on the beach, we ordered take-away food here. We were all thrilled. Very tasty and good price-performance ratio. Gladly again 😊.

Very friendly, very dog ​​friendly, very tasty. Perfect.

A super nice restaurant The outdoor area invites you to linger. A moment Italy trip.....so pretty. Pizza top and service very oriented, friendly and with a smile. Prices absolutely ok We felt comfortable, thank you PS there was even a marsala from the house, where else can that be found For everyone who reads The pizzeria is absolutely recommended

Waiter: very friendly. Menu: varied. Quality of the Gorgonzola sauce: an absolute WOW If I lived here, I would be a regular guest. I really liked it. Wonderful evening on the last day of our motorhome trip to the North Sea 😎

Very nice restaurant, service fast and attentive. Will definitely come back

We were in Dornumersiel for 10 days and ate there 5 times. We tried a lot of pizza, pasta and meat and everything was extremely tasty. The price-performance ratio is also extremely good compared to the other restaurants in town. Very friendly service, we felt very comfortable there.

The service staff were very alert and professional. The food was really good. We'd love to come back. P.S.: you could also dust it...

Ate great fish there, tasted really good.

The place is so full of old decorations that it's almost creepy. The employees were nice and tried hard. We didn't find the food (we had pizza) that great.

Wenn man sich in der Gegend umschaut, gehört das Restaurant zu den „günstigeren“. Das Essen hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt, es gibt eine vielseitige Auswahl, was für uns als Familie wichtig ist. Sonderwünsche werden perfekt umgesetzt (z. B. Kinderportion Nudeln mit Käsesauce statt Tomate und Käsesauce nicht auf die Nudeln und dann noch Parmesan). Die Wartezeit aufs Essen war nicht zu schnell und nicht zu lang. Wir haben drei Abende hintereinander dort gegessen und alle Mitarbeitende waren sehr freundlich. Wir empfehlen zu reservieren, beim ersten Mal hatten wir Glück, einen Platz zu bekommen.

Super nice restaurant, the staff were very, very friendly. Best service Food very tasty.

Had dinner here with 5 people. Nice ambience. Staff was very friendly. The food was super tasty at a fair price. We'll definitely be back.

Nice and friendly staff, good cuisine, everything we had was very tasty! Gladly again!!

I'm there for the first time this evening with my wife and the dog. The dog was allowed in immediately. Service was so great. The food, Erlich, I don't live here, if I lived here, I would come again & my wife is of the same opinion. True very satisfied. The service was great.🫶

We spontaneously decided to visit the restaurant because the children were hungry. We were there around 5 p.m. and there wasn't that much going on. Positive: we sat right next to the children's play area so that the children could play. Drinks order was taken and delivered quickly. The food was also taken quickly and the waiting time was absolutely great at around 20 minutes. However, there are negative points when it comes to food. We once had fish fingers with fries, spaghetti carbonara, Jäger Schnitzl with fries and the lasagne for children. Fish fingers and the carbonara were great. But the lasagna? What was that? 2 plates of pasta that weren't even "done", a sour red tomato sauce and a few crumbs of minced meat. So it definitely wasn't a lasagne. No wonder our child didn't eat the lasagna. The lasagne was really underground in appearance and taste. The Jägerschnitzel was ok, but not outstanding. If fresh mushrooms are used, then please don't use cream sauce from Knorr. That had nothing to do with Jäger sauce.

In my opinion, the restaurant is a bit too crowded with tables and chairs. Therefore we sat very cramped with 4 people. Even our 2 small dogs barely had any space under the table. The food was good and fresh, and we were full too

Nice ambience. Pasta dish top, pizza base very soft. But delicious. Service is great.

Very tasty, very cozy, super nice service. Please reserve beforehand

Good food, good value for money, it's cozy, the staff is friendly and customer-oriented 👍

We enjoyed it very much 😋, very friendly service, price-performance ratio was absolutely fine! Very happy again!

Oh well, Unfortunately the food is below average. Food for the children was very poor.

Nice atmosphere and nice reception. My main course came while I had only eaten 1/3 of the starter. That was a little unfortunate because my main course got pretty cold. One component of my main course was wrong, but it was delivered immediately. I found it a shame that the starter and salad dishes were only cleared away when the main course was finished. That made the table a bit crowded and uncomfortable.

Super friendly staff, very tasty pizza

Very tasty and super friendly staff

The food was Frisian salty. But otherwise ok

We were there at the weekend with our "extended family". We liked it very much. Very friendly staff and very child friendly. All dishes arrived at the same time and we were very happy with our food. Absolutely recommended.

A very nice restaurant with very friendly staff. The food is always very good and fresh. Always a good choice. Price and performance are right here.

Highly recommended. We ate there every day.

Das Essen war super Lecker.Immer wieder gern.Sehr zu Empfehlen.Wir waren sehr zufrieden und sind jeden Tag Essen gegangen.Die Atmosphäre war super.Das Personal war sehr nett und freundlich.

Unfortunately, this doesn't have much to do with Italian food! I had gratinated rigatoni with a very watery sauce that basically only consisted of cream and frozen spinach - unfortunately the pizza wasn't very good either, in terms of taste or quality. A wonderful ambience outside with lots of flowers and nice service!

Wir hatten zweimal das Vergnügen, einmal vor Ort und einmal haben wir das Essen abgeholt. Wir sind mehr als zufrieden gewesen. Freundliches Personal, leckeres Essen und sehr günstige Preise.

We stayed at Santa Maria several times during our vacation. We will definitely come back. Food delicious, service super friendly. Thank you, thank you, thank you

A restaurant with a nice terrace and a great menu.

Great pizzeria, ate there with 7 people. Everyone was super happy.

We had to wait almost an hour for the food and then half of it was wrong. The service staff tries to make everything go away with funny sayings, but this doesn't work. When we wanted to pay we had to wait 15 minutes and only after asking were we told that the boss would be coming soon. When the boss came he smelled like cigarettes, very unpleasant and not rude if you keep your guests waiting because of that. The food was okay, but when I go to a restaurant I expect something better. It was also very dusty in the restaurant and everything was full of cobwebs. The prices were ok for the quality.

We were in the beer garden at coffee hour. The drinks came quickly. However, the plum cake we ordered was a long time coming. Meanwhile, the waitress and the manager of the house made themselves comfortable in the restaurant with their lunch. They have simply forgotten us. 👎 When we wanted to pay early, the boss became loud and snapped at us. 🤨 No, I cannot recommend this restaurant. The service is miserable.

Cozy atmosphere, wide-ranging menu (not just Italian cuisine), delicious food, very friendly service that cares about the well-being of the guests. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

The restaurant is comfortably furnished - not exactly ultra-modern, but in the style of a pizzeria. The service is positive in every sense! From the entrance, the welcome is very warm and you are shown to a suitable table. The service is extremely friendly and accommodating and the food you ordered comes in a reasonable time. The food is very tasty and it really fills you up. The selection on the menu is such that everyone will find something to suit them. All in all, this restaurant is highly recommended and the price-performance ratio is good.

Very good restaurant. We had fish and were very happy. Very nice service!

Pizza was tasty, price was okay too. Staff is very friendly.

We had a delicious meal at Santa Maria. The menu is very diverse. The staff very friendly and helpful. We found the ambience outside and inside to be very pleasant. Lots of greenery and flowers, with soft music in the background, give a maritime, southern flair. We really enjoyed it and would love to come back.

Friendly service, nice outdoor terrace, little waiting time, food was delicious.

Very good restorant, with good dishes!

Very nicely decorated. Very cozy. Very nice service. The food is really good. You can feel very comfortable here...

Nice service, who also took loving care of the dog. The food was really tasty and the atmosphere outside was really nice. Everything was authentic and well-kept, inviting you to linger. Price and performance are absolutely the same. We weren't here for the first time, nor the last.

I was on holiday in Dornumersiel for 6 days. I was in this beautiful restaurant for 4 days. Delicious food, great staff and just a nice ambience. They also came up with a little gift on my birthday that made me want to come back. At the end there was a delicious liqueur. Next time I'm in Dornumersiel, this will be my first stop.

Food delicious as always, friendly staff, prices good. A bit old. Especially the toilets

Very friendly staff Very tasty and super dog friendly

I ate there during my vacation. Great service, very good pizza. Just a great place. Price/performance is also right

Pizza 🍕 was okay, but not overwhelming. Maybe it's because my brother-in-law owns a pizzeria and I'm spoiled. But due to the typos in the menu, I suspect that the owner is not Italian at all (chipolla 🤦). Atmosphere was pleasant, unfortunately we couldn't get a seat outside as it would have been more pleasant on a hot day. Therefore, always reserve in advance 👍.

We shelved our vegetarian principles based on a recommendation and are more than thrilled! The subsequent 'digestive liquor' definitely had to be suspended in order to retain the taste of the food (No. 103 and No. 104) for longer. A feast that more than did justice to the last day of vacation. The atmosphere is very nice and the hosts are friendly and friendly. In good hands, we'll always be happy to come back!

Have ordered to be picked up. Friendly, witty and really quick. If not even the edge of the pizza remains, you know how it tasted 😆

We were on vacation at the North Sea two weeks ago and saw the pizzeria as we drove past... well, about the ambience, I thought it was too crammed with decorations... The service was very friendly, quick and tried very hard... except that when you sit down you are informed that the table will be reserved in 1.5 hours (next room completely empty) And now about the food... the taste was ok, but the portions are far too small. The pizzas are only as big as a frozen pizza and I just don't think that's appropriate for the price

Very cozy outdoor area, friendly service and an uncomplicated response to a small complaint. Food was good 👍

I understand the 1 star rating. Reception was good, unfortunately no place on the terrace. But indoors was also good. Service very friendly. The atmosphere and decor are tasteful. We had a starter, minestrone soup and a baked potato with tzatziki. Great job! The starter had not yet dropped and the main course was already served. I think it was 2 minutes, way too fast anyway. We both had the combinazione, what a disappointment that was for a self-styled Italian restaurant. In a word, tasteless, a slab of melted plastic cheese on top of the dish, no parmesan or anything like that. No taste to define. We also indicated this to the waitress, she asked what she could pass on to the kitchen. Great response! Still given 2 stars, mainly because of the service and the design. It was a one-off that we got there.

Great hospitality, warm service. Great opportunity to sit outside. Reservations should be made during the season, otherwise you will have to wait. Our food (pizza and pasta) was very tasty. The portions could have been a little larger

Unfortunately, despite reservations, we didn't get a seat. Everything seemed very amateurish. When I make a reservation I expect to claim it. Too bad.

Because of the many good reviews, we wanted to spend our last holiday evening there comfortably. We can't imagine how these good reviews come about. I would prefer to give 0 stars for the quality of the food. Since we didn't have a reservation and the restaurant was full inside and outside, we decided to wait until a table was available. After about 15 minutes we were shown to a free table in the restaurant. We noticed the somewhat old-fashioned furnishings, but it didn't bother us. After looking at the sticky, laminated menu, we were amazed to find such a large selection of Balkan dishes and fish dishes in a pizzeria. We ordered 2x crab soup as a starter and an oven-fresh flatbread. Plus 1x the recommended daily dish of lamb with mushrooms, 1x lasagna and 1x minced steak. The service was very friendly and the drinks came quickly. We waited almost 45 minutes for the soup and were told that the flatbread would be coming soon. Unfortunately, the crab soup was not crab soup, but a tomato soup with Arctic shrimp and a dollop of cream that was far too large. Very disappointing when you are right by the sea and there is crab soup on the menu. The flatbread didn't come at all. We continued to sit and wait. Guests at several tables complained about the long wait. We also noticed that a lot of dishes that were ordered to take away went over the counter. That probably also explains why the kitchen couldn't keep up with the food for the guests in the restaurant. After 1 hour we asked when our food would come and had the flatbread canceled. The waitress apologized for the long waiting time and justified it because the tables were full. The crowning glory was a kitchen employee who walked through the restaurant several times with a red, long, greasy apron with a black trash can and talked to the service staff with the bucket in his hand. After another 20 minutes our food arrived. The lamb was OK. The minced steak consisted of two 0.5 cm thick slabs that were so dry and salty that you couldn't eat them. But the highlight was the lasagna. I have never eaten such disgusting lasagna in my life. It tasted like absolutely nothing, the pasta sheets weren't cooked through, you had to look for tomato sauce with minced meat. Bechamel no available. What was that? Not recognizable. Weren't we in a pizzeria????????? Italian Ristorante????????? Conclusion: not recommended at all!!!

Very tasty Pizza Santa Maria and equally delicious Insalata della Casa! Very friendly service! Parking available! Overall recommended!!!

Super tasty and friendly, attentive service. Reservation recommended.

Bit for the high prices. Ordered pizza, instead of 30 minutes to pick up, more than 1 hour for cold pizzas.

Very cozy, food very tasty, staff very friendly, the owner offered us one of his parking spaces 👍👍

We have enjoyed eating here on every holiday for more than 25 years. The boss and staff are super nice, the menu is varied, the prices are really fair, and the atmosphere is very cozy. We agree: the food is “the best ever”! Here everyone understands everything. We are looking forward to many holiday meals at Ristorante Pizzeria Santa Maria!! ☀️

Minced steak was very thin, dry. It was definitely NOT a minced steak, rather as thin as a hamburger pellet. Fries were only a small portion.

A great kitchen and a great service. I can highly recommend this restaurant

Wenn in der Krabbensuppe Garnelen sind ist das hier traurig. Die Speisen sind griechisch ausgerichtet. Serviert wird flott.

Been there for the third time today. I'm still not sure if it was our last visit. After already waiting over an hour for the food, we asked for it. The waiter apologizes and says it won't be long. By that time, other guests who had come after us had already finished their food. The waiters generally became a bit restless and looked at all the orders in their blocks. I would guess that they were looking for our order and we were forgotten. About 15 minutes later the side salads arrived. Another 5 minutes later another waiter wanted to bring them to us again. After almost 90 minutes we were about to pay for our drinks and leave when the food arrived. The taste of the food wasn't bad, but unfortunately not everything was great because there was hair in the food. When we finally wanted to pay, we asked for a discount. The waiter said there was nothing to be done and apologized. Finally, after a while of drinking our drinks, we were given a bottle of liqueur. That's what the 2 star is for.

The food was very, very tasty, even for our three boys. Only the portions would have could be a little larger and a slightly shorter waiting time would be desirable. Therefore a small point deduction. 70€ for 5 eaters, works.

It's a very good pizzeria. Very nice staff.

A small oasis with very nice service and delicious food. High chair for baby was available and we were able to feed the little one without any problems.

That wasn't exactly the best pizza And the noodles just weren't enjoyable It's a shame we were really disappointed

The decor is attractive and the food is of good quality. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Depending on how busy the restaurant is, there may be waiting times.

As soon as we walked into this restaurant, we immediately noticed the loving, detailed atmosphere. The food selection is very varied and highly recommended in terms of price-performance ratio. The dishes range from freshly prepared pizzas to perfectly fried rump steak. The portions were also exactly right. Furthermore, the service staff was very friendly and you had the feeling of being at home. Everything in a nutshell: Only recommended if you are on vacation in the area or are looking for a nice evening for two. Will we come back on our next vacation? In any case :)

We visited the Santa Maria in Dornumersiel again. So far we have always been satisfied. However, questions arose as soon as the drinks were delivered. The cola was non-carbonated and very warm. Even a glass full of ice blocks could hardly lower the temperature. The carbonation was gone. Guess the glass had been sitting for some time. We ordered pasta with tuna, garlic and tomato cream sauce. You can imagine pasta falling apart, lost tuna that has been replaced by other fish, a touch of garlic and loveless tomato sauce from the ready-made package. No trace of the cream. The other meal consisted of a paper-thin schnitzel drowned in chunky tomato puree. The sauce should be paprika cream with paprika schnitzels. The fries that came with it were very chewy because they weren't cooked. There was also a salad that apparently ended up on the salad plate without being cleaned, cut into small pieces, and there was a noticeable crunching sound between the teeth. The final schnapps at the house's expense didn't help either. For around €39.00 outrageous. I rated the young man who was the waiter and the ambience a little higher. The food, however, could only be described as tourist food. They don't come there that often or only come once. I can no longer recommend the shop and I have the impression that although Italian cuisine is presented, there is actually a different nationality in the executive suite?

A nice atmosphere with a wonderful and very friendly and attentive staff. A great and very tasty meal. Highly recommended.

It's always busy, so it's best to reserve in advance.

Delicious food, friendly, young team and great atmosphere. Above all, resilient, with large crowds and complicated guests. Highly recommended!

The staff is super friendly. The food is very tasty and has a good price-performance ratio. There was a schnapps to say goodbye and a lolly for the children. The waiting time for the food is absolutely ok.

A nice pizzeria here in town. Unfortunately, when we arrived there were also a lot of other guests, so the waiter sometimes took a little longer, but that's OK. It's not fast food. Everything tasted very tasty. We had imagined the size of the pizza to be a little bigger. Well luckily we had an appetizer. By the way, the baked feta cheese was really good. Tzatziki is very Greek but also good. When the weather is good it is very nice to sit outside.

The restaurant is really highly recommended. We were there two in a row because we liked it so much. The staff is super friendly and totally motivated. The food was delicious, the prices were more than reasonable. Go and see for yourself, I wasn't exaggerating

Food was very tasty.. Service was very friendly.. Ambiance outside is great, but inside just too much... if someone likes it...

Wir waren heute Nachmittag zum was kleines Essen hier in der gemütlichen Pizzeria. Unsere Suppen Tomatensuppe und Krabben-Cremesuppe waren sehr lecker. Unsere Freunde hatten Pizza und Krautsalat und ihnen hat es auch sehr geschmeckt. Zur Rechnung gabs einen leckeren Marsala. Der Chef und das Personal waren überaus freundlich. Der Garten ist sehr einladend und innen sieht es auch so aus. Wir werden auf jedenfall dort nochmals Essen gehen während unseres Urlaubs.

We were there twice with the family and felt very comfortable. Very (child-)friendly service, there is a small play area for children and rocking animals in front of the restaurant. We felt very welcome, the food was delicious (pizza, pasta, salad) and the prices were reasonable. We'll definitely be back. My highlight was the pizzas and the warm service.

When the restaurant was at full capacity (inside and outside), we waited an hour for food 🙈

Super tasty and very nice service

Nice pizzaria. Super nice staff, it was a really nice evening. If we are here again we would like to come back. Price is right too 😁

That was a great start to our vacation. The food, the super friendly staff and the beautifully designed outdoor area of ​​the restaurant gave us a very nice start to our vacation. It is recommended to reserve a table as the restaurant is very busy in high season.

The pizza was very tasty and warm and juicy. I would eat here more often. But not too often

Super tasty pizza, very nice service. We will be back.

The best pizza I've eaten. The edge is very tasty and so is the topping. The coleslaw was really excellent. Definitely coming back
