Rudolph's in Hamburg

Yesterday, as always when I'm in Hamburg, I went to my absolute favorite restaurant, Rudolph's. Here, I always feel completely normal and can eat like everyone else. It's simply fantastic. Freedom. Gluten-free, lactose-free, and histamine-free - they make it possible, as best they can. And it tastes so delicious!!! The entire service is friendly and simply very accommodating. The waiter who served us yesterday repeatedly checked with me and the kitchen to make sure what was and wasn't allowed. They even asked about the oil for the pizza bread. I can only describe that as "wow." I feel welcome, safe, and taken seriously here. I am so grateful for this restaurant! My husband doesn't have to worry about anything, and he enjoys it every time (or everyone else I drag there on my visits to Hamburg). My recommendation: eat there in the afternoon instead of the evening. Then the kitchen can better accommodate such a wide variety of dishes, as in my case. In the evening, when If it's really busy, you might have to wait a bit (which isn't a problem for me). The prices are perfectly reasonable! Gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options are all readily available on the menu and are never a problem at any time of day. Thank you, Rudolph's!!! Please keep up the good work!

Fantastic. We received a super friendly welcome the moment we walked in. Everyone in the service was very friendly. The food was delicious. We'd definitely be happy to come back. The restaurant, with its gluten-free options, is perfect for my wife. The only thing that prevents us from giving it a full star rating is that it's quite dark. More lighting would have been great.

A paradise for people who have to follow a gluten-free diet! A delight for everyone else.

Was absolutely perfect, 5/5 without reservation 👌

The restaurant serves truly excellent pizza, but the prices are also slightly high, especially for the wine. The ambiance seems a bit plain, but the service was impressive. The notice that only card payments are accepted could be clearer.

That evening it was simply very loud because there was a large group there and there are few options in the room to control the volume.

I had the Pasta with Salmon for some 14 €. Downing in cream and barely any Salmon. Would not recommend for the price.

It's great that all dishes are also available gluten-free.

Super friendly service, very fast. I'd be happy to come back anytime.

We were there in a larger group. Some of us are gluten-sensitive, eat some vegan food, and even some eat animal products, so the restaurant suited us well. However, some of us weren't satisfied with the service: The service often seemed distracted. People often walked past us, even though no one seemed to be doing anything and the restaurant was still empty. Several times, something was forgotten, so we had to ask at the counter twice. Furthermore, at least one server referred to food that wasn't gluten-free or vegan as "regular" pizza, pasta, etc. I definitely find this problematic because it implies that people who eat gluten-sensitive, vegan, and so on aren't considered "regular." The gluten-free pizza was otherwise quite tasty, but slightly too salty in some places for me and unfortunately, it got cold quickly, but that could be due to the thin crust. There's still room for improvement in communication and processes.

A very nice restaurant. I had no problems with my sensitive celiac disease. It was the best gluten-free pizza I've ever eaten. A truly great restaurant!

The food, even the gluten-free option, was delicious! Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired.

Great service! Wonderful food and ambiance. If possible, we would give it 10 stars!

Service was overwhelmed. Napkins were missing, no new plates were provided for the main course, and the pizza order for salami with mushrooms without cheese was not brought after 45 minutes, despite a warning. What a shame, such a lovely restaurant.

Very delicious gluten-free pizza 🍕 my daughter and wife are thrilled. The regular pizza 🍕 is also really delicious 😃.

Very delicious food, it's fantastic that everything is available gluten-free! The pizza was super delicious, even gluten-free! When you're so "limited" when it comes to food, it's so great to be able to eat a proper pizza again. Thank you for that! The team was very friendly, the prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere was great. We'll be back.

Very friendly staff, absolutely delicious and especially nice that almost everything is gluten-free.

Very tasty pizza. Gluten-free options available.

Delicious gluten-free pizza! Beautiful waterfront location.

We had gluten-free pasta and pizza and loved it. Of course, it's not the same as with gluten, but they found good alternatives here. A must-try for us in Hamburg from now on. We'd love to come back again! Thanks :)

Nice to sit outside. Unfortunately, the service was mediocre. The pizza was reasonable.

Great pizza but seating very tight good service

Excellent, I'd go back anytime. Gluten-free too.

The best gluten-free pizza I've ever eaten. The service was friendly, and the wait wasn't long.

Cash payments are refused. This is illegal.

Nice service and very good pizza!

The pizzas were excellent and tasted good. The diavolo was actually quite spicy. The prices were on the higher end. Everything was available gluten-free and very well prepared.

Delicious pizza. Great location. Gluten-free!

everything perfect and very tasty

What a shame, dear Rudolph's, your kitchen really does a great job, the food is fantastic but your service was a disaster! We had reserved a table for 7:30 p.m. When my girlfriend entered the restaurant she was completely ignored. It was only when I approached her and we took the initiative that someone even looked at our table. At first there was trouble finding our reservation and our table also didn't seem to be prepared. We ordered, and our waitress seemed slightly annoyed. In addition to the wine being much too warm, we tried to get ice from various waiters - to no avail. It was only when I went to the bar after about 40 minutes that I was told that there were problems with the ice machine, but that there might still be ice cubes in the back. Another 20 minutes passed before I asked again. Finally the restaurant manager (presumably) took pity on us and brought a large bag of ice to the front, while at other tables various drinks were sent back because they were too warm. Finally we got a small glass of ice cubes. When asked about it, the supposed boss of the evening offered excuses instead of apologizing. Very weak. We won't be back. It's a shame, because the food is really good. But something is very, very wrong here! Unfortunately, that ruined our evening.

We went to Rudolph's last week. We chose it because of my wife's celiac disease. The ambiance was okay, rather modern, not really our cup of tea. But luckily, that's a matter of taste; perhaps it was just too stylish for us country folk. ;-) But the food was very good. The gluten-free pizza, in particular, was, according to my wife, the best she'd ever eaten. I tried it myself and can say that there was no difference in the taste between the regular (gluten-containing) and the gluten-free pizza. All other items on the menu are also available in gluten-free versions (for a small surcharge). Highly recommended for anyone who is gluten-resistant.

A very friendly welcome from the waiter. Thanks to a table reservation, there was no wait at all. Ordering was very quick, and we received our menus as soon as we sat down. The food arrived within 10 minutes. All in all, everything went perfectly, and the pizza was absolutely fantastic. For anyone with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, this is an absolute must. One of the few restaurants that lets you order exactly the same thing as everyone else. 👍

The pictures on the website don't necessarily reflect reality. The gluten-free pizza was very good.

My son was overjoyed that he could eat gluten-free. Thank you very much, it was lovely and we felt at home.

The food itself was good, but cold because we had to sit outside. We had a reservation, but we were told that everything inside was full, which wasn't true. We sat outside and unfortunately, despite asking several times, we didn't get a blanket. The pineapple pizza had very few toppings, and you really have to pay close attention to whether it's REALLY gluten-free. Not everything is, per se, even though the waiter claimed it was.

The food was good, but not outstanding. The bottle of wine was unfortunately much too warm, and it didn't come in an ice bucket; it only contained cold water. Drinks took a relatively long time to arrive, and some were even forgotten. We'd been there years ago, and we had fond memories of the restaurant. This time, unfortunately, it was only okay.

Many thanks to the very nice waiter who worked his butt off yesterday in the heat. He did a great job, and he still remained pleasant and friendly despite the stress. Hats off.

The food is wonderful, as always. Service gets worse and worse, and you feel anything but welcome.

The gluten-free pizza was extremely delicious, but the regular pizza was unfortunately a bit too dark around the edges. The service left a lot to be desired: Apparently, they expect you to drink straight from the bottle. We only received a glass upon request. We also had to request cutlery after the food was served, and bringing only three place settings for four people is almost unintentionally odd. A notice in advance that cash payments are not accepted would also have been nice.

Good gluten-free pizza, the only downside was that the pizza arrived before the drinks. The windy terrace cooled the food quickly, but of course it was my choice to sit outside.

They also offer gluten-free options, and everything tasted great. The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. Highly recommended.

Nice atmosphere and a small but excellent menu selection. Highly recommended if you have a gluten intolerance.

As always; very good. I'd be happy to come back.

The gluten-free pizza is very good! We've visited Rudolph's for the second time now, and we even made a special stop in Hamburg. Rudolph's is a dream for our daughter, who has celiac disease.

The starter and main course were good, although the tartar performed better than the pasta as a main course. The service should be improved, as we had to wait a long time for our drinks. The ambiance is modern and pleasant, but points are deducted for the dogs being allowed. They don't belong in a restaurant. After all, animals aren't allowed in a supermarket either.

We received a very friendly welcome from the team and the manager. We had a delicious meal with our two kids on Monday lunchtime. Our little one, who has celiac disease, also enjoyed the gluten-free pizza very well. We'll definitely be back!

It's a lovely restaurant, beautifully located. We had pea soup with shrimp tartare for €12.90. The soup was about 200ml lukewarm. The shrimp tartare consisted of three cooked shrimp tails that were cold. A tartare is something that's carefully cut into small cubes and seasoned. This should be visibly arranged as a mirror on the soup. Pizza (gluten-free because my wife has celiac disease) The pizza wasn't cooked all the way through, tasted good, but €18 was too expensive for me. The service – I don't want to know what it's like when it's busy. The question about drinks came quickly, the question about the food took 30 minutes, and the waiter only came because we asked. After the food was served, we weren't even looked at again. Since a restaurant makes most of its revenue from drinks, the waiter should ask if you'd like a drink when the glasses are empty. Personally, at today's prices, I don't feel like asking if I can get something else! Conclusion- so-so.

Very tasty pizza (both gluten-free and regular). Very pleasant, attentive service. Everything was great!

Pleasant address with friendly service in the Hafencity

Great service (Daniel and Kathy), authentic, very attentive. The pizza was fantastic (gluten-free too!). Went back today after three years. Excellent service from Felix, and the pizza was still fantastic!

We were there on a Friday evening; it was very busy, and the staff were very busy. We had to wait a bit longer for our food. But everyone was very friendly. After a quick inquiry, our food arrived promptly.

A very nice restaurant with delicious and varied food. They even have a dog that belongs to the restaurant – cute.

First of all, I saw it posted by a cute TikToker and saved it. We were there yesterday. We asked for more details, and man, it was so nice there. Everyone was answered kindly, and the pizza was amazing. My daughter, in particular, found it incredibly difficult to overcome her fear, as she's had problems with other restaurants in the past. Gluten-free doesn't necessarily mean contamination-free. But here everything was great, as celiac disease is known in the family. For me and my daughter, it was a successful visit with such delicious pizza and pasta 💕. The staff were also super friendly and accommodating. We'd love to come back ❤️❤️ And by the way... They also had gluten-free beer. 🤘❤️

We had a lovely seat by the water. The food, especially the gluten-free pizza, was delicious.

Nice and very tasty, we arrived super hungry and had to wait almost an hour for the food because of a large group... otherwise great!

There were some coordination problems in the service that evening, but otherwise everything was fine

Unfortunately, the service was abysmal. Our order was simply taken and brought to our table; we couldn't have expected any better service. We also ordered a bottle of wine with a cork, and despite several attempts, the waiter didn't open or pour the bottle. In the end, we brought a waiter's knife with us and did everything ourselves. Unfortunately, that's not what you go out for. Next time, we'll probably just order takeaway, because the gluten-free pizza was really good! It's a shame the service isn't up to scratch, otherwise I'd love to go there more often!

Super friendly service. We didn't have a reservation, but we still got a seat. The best gluten-free pizza we've ever had!

Top: Gluten-free cuisine! Pizzas tasted good. Service was friendly, but there weren't enough staff. We tried for 20 minutes to get the dessert menu and then went somewhere else for ice cream. I feel sorry for the friendly team that they were so stressed.

Very loud. Soundproofing should be considered with wall elements, etc. The pizza was great, though!

The food and the atmosphere were great as always!

The food was delicious. The gluten-free pizza worked perfectly, too. Very friendly and attentive staff. We'd be happy to come back. The atmosphere was a bit loud, and the wait for the food was a bit long due to the starter and the restaurant's busyness.

The concept seems a bit lackluster. Everything is a bit worn." The gluten-free food offerings are no longer convincing. The gluten-free pizza at other restaurants has a much better base. Gluten-free pasta is now available in many varieties, not just one. More attention should be paid to cleanliness.

Simply great for people with celiac disease.

We were in Hamburg last week. We tried our luck and went to Rudolph's without a reservation. It was quite busy, but a table for two was no problem. We had two pizzas. They were perfect for us. The crust was fluffy and crispy around the edges, and the toppings were perfectly seasoned. Definitely a very good place for a mega pizza in Hamburg. We'd be happy to go again!

Gluten-free pizza and beer (unavailable in Hamburg)

The gluten-free pizza was amazing! So delicious 😋 The service was very friendly, and despite the crowds, we didn't have to wait long for our food. The prices are quite reasonable. What bothered us a little was the acoustics. It was very loud and difficult to have a conversation.

Great atmosphere in the Speicherstadt, great service, short wait times, and super gluten-free pizza. We'll be back next time we visit Hamburg.

The food was very good, served promptly after ordering, and the service was very friendly. We were asked several times during the meal if everything was okay. After that, we were unfortunately ignored for the rest of the evening. We understand that on a Saturday evening in a busy restaurant, you can expect a wait. However, after handing us the dessert menu, which we also had to beg for, we weren't served again; only all the tables around us were served. After waiting for over 30 minutes and several attempts to get our attention, we decided not to order dessert and left. Since no one was interested in us, we had to go from the terrace into the restaurant to pay. So we approached the manager and said we would be happy to do so. We were told we had to tell the waiter who was in charge of us. But how could we, when we were ignored the whole time? 🙃 After a brief objection and a small comment that no one seemed to be in charge of us in the slightest, we went straight to her. ``` Unfortunately, we will refrain from visiting again.

Delicious (also gluten-free) pizza, friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere, and fair prices!

Very good pizzas, delicious salads, and desserts. Everything is also gluten-free. Great. Very friendly and helpful service. A wonderful outdoor terrace with a view of the canal. They often also offer delicious baked goods to take away.

We came spontaneously this evening without a reservation. The only thing we could have done with a more subdued acoustics inside was quite loud. Otherwise, everything was great: Even though it was almost 9 p.m., we received a friendly welcome and were seated with our children. The pizza and pasta arrived quickly and hot, and the carpaccio was delicious, as was the wine.

I was thrilled with the gluten-free options at Rudolf's! The gluten-free pizza was crispy and flavorful, the pasta al dente and perfectly seasoned with jumbo shrimp. The highlight was a gluten-free Black Forest gateau – simply divine! The service was also attentive and friendly. A hidden gem in Hamburg for people with gluten intolerance.

Good for gf, but my husband didn't really know what to take, so only 4 stars

Very attentive staff, and for those with gluten and lactose intolerance, a very large selection of dishes, including desserts. The pizza was simply delicious and highly recommended. Thank you very much.

The food was very good, and almost everything can be ordered gluten-free. Which is a delight for celiacs. The pizza dough, also gluten-free, is homemade. We had a problem with our two drinks, but the staff quickly took care of it and found a good solution. (A few fruit flies had gotten into one of the bottles; they discovered this and opened a new one.) And for vegans, they even have vegan cheese.

The chef isn't there, the other chef doesn't speak the same language as the waitress, so other requests can't be accommodated. No pasta, the menu is severely reduced. There at 6:15 p.m., the food at 7:46 p.m. still not there. Really, really not good. I wouldn't recommend it.

It was really nice again and the gluten-free options are great too.

Loved the place! We were looking for a relaxed dinner with friends that has gluten-free options and found Rudolph’s. It will not be the last time we will eat here. The service was excellent and the pizzas were great!!

The pizzas were delicious. It's nice that they offer gluten-free pizza for allergy sufferers and have an allergy menu. However, I have so many intolerances that I would have liked a specific list of ingredients, which unfortunately wasn't there. (e.g.: What is the vegan cheese alternative made of?) They could certainly offer that. Overall, though, I was happy to be able to go out for pizza again. It tasted just like you'd imagine pizza should! :)

Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed this time. Outside, the tables were missing salt, pepper, and maybe some balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Also, the coziness was somehow lacking...maybe a flower or a candle on the tables, seat cushions, etc. To begin with, there was no bread, and no gluten-free bread either, which we thought was a shame given the high prices. The pasta came without Parmesan, which we kind of take for granted...when we asked, it took a long time for the waitress to bring it because she forgot. But the food was, as always, very good and delicious; we all enjoyed it.

I specifically went there for the gluten free pizza, but it was quite average. The experience sitting outside on the terrace was nice.

Delicious pizza! Perfect for a business lunch.

Very tasty gluten-free pizza. A paradise for those with celiac disease.

My wife had a Parmigiana and I had the Rudolph pizza, both were very good.

A complete tourist trap. Absolutely tasteless food. Nothing to do with Italy. The carpaccio was tough and inedible. The pasta was overcooked and unseasoned. There was no bread with the appetizer either (it was already gone! On a Saturday night!!!). The service was completely helpless. No apologies, no assistance.

Upon arriving at the company party, I ask the manager if I can have a non-alcoholic Aperol and am told to calm down. A restaurant for alcoholics, then? Pizza was okay, Pasta was abysmally bad, not even Barilla pasta quality, total mush, like in a retirement home. Salad so-so... Dessert was okay. I wouldn't go there on my own. Luckily, I didn't see the bill.

Very delicious food👍 Very friendly service Especially the gluten-free pizza was really good, according to my son👍

Great restaurant and lots of gluten-free food

Unfortunately, it was a disappointment for me. The rump steak was nothing, over medium and tough. The meat was only "grilled" on one side. The potatoes, most of them undercooked, were hard in the middle. The steak was definitely not good value for money‼️ Annoying. My wife enjoyed the gluten-free pizza. It was also on the higher end in terms of price... But if it tastes good and the quality is good, I'm happy to pay more.

We went there for the gluten-free pizza. It was very good, and the regular pizza was also excellent. Very friendly service!

We arrived about an hour earlier than our reservation and asked if it was possible to get a table for three people. This was confirmed with a hand gesture toward the available tables, which was the greeting. The decor is rather practical and meets our needs, but it didn't feel inviting. Upon further inquiry, our server informed us that the gluten-free offerings were limited to pizza. We would have liked to have read that on the website before we made our reservation. The Ratsherren Pils on tap was not chilled, but at room temperature. The ordered dishes arrived relatively quickly, and the pleasant gathering could begin. The pizza was prepared in a stone oven and baked at a significantly higher temperature, which meant that the pizza crust had clearly visible soot marks on the top in several places. We wouldn't make a reservation there again.

A beautifully located restaurant with very friendly service and excellent food. It's worth mentioning that even people with gluten intolerance will find a very good selection of dishes here, tailored to their needs. The service is very attentive and friendly. Thank you for a lovely evening! We deducted one point for the ambiance due to the background noise. The acoustics are quite loud. Nevertheless, we felt very comfortable and would gladly return. We highly recommend it with two thumbs up!

The waiter was super nice! Thanks for the great service

Loud, but otherwise everything was great. Gluten-free for my celiac child was totally uncomplicated. When I asked if the brownie was available in a gluten-free version, the answer was: "It's always gluten-free." The service was very friendly and prompt, and the food was delicious.

Super friendly and the best gluten-free pizza I've ever eaten!

We received a friendly welcome. The service was very good. The pizzas were good, but not great. They could have been crispier and more flavorful. It would have been nice to have had bread and herb butter/aioli served beforehand. Otherwise, everything was good.

Beim Eintreffen im Lokal würde man ignoriert und niemand kümmert sich um einen. Erst nach mehrere Versuchen würden wir beachtet und bekamen einen Tisch. Das Ambiente gleicht eher der Mensa einer Uni und es war hölle laut. Die Pizzen kamen sehr verbrannt daher und ein entsprechender Kommentar, Achselzucken ignoriert. Insgesamt machte das Personal einen gestressten Eindruck und am Pizzaofen gab es auch zwischenmenschlich nicht nur eitel Sonnenschein. Kurz, wir waren froh als wir wieder draußen waren. Hinweis: Nur Kartenzahlung möglich

Unfortunately, a bitter disappointment. Despite having a reservation, we waited a quarter of an hour for our table, even though half the place was empty. After another half hour of waiting for the menus to be brought to us after repeated requests, The drinks took another quarter of an hour, and half of them were wrong or missing. The extremely friendly (irony off) manager told us we were sitting at the wrong table, which was for 8 people and not 7. She also seemed unhappy with her staff, as we could hear them throughout the restaurant all evening. The food was quite okay. The price-performance ratio was absolutely unjustified. If you charge high prices, you have to deliver. When we paid, the waiter said we didn't look happy, but there was no apology or anything else. Not recommended!!!!

Super delicious food and attentive friendly service
