Tavernetta in München

Just had an excellent dinner at Tavernetta. Delicious salad with goat cheese followed by pizza and ravioli. Everything was great, as was the service. Perfect way to spend our last night in Munich. Reservations are a must. It was packed on a Monday night.

It's always a pleasure to go to Francesco and Giovanni's. A wonderful evening with excellent food and wine, and impeccable service! Highly recommended!

Super delicious, especially the squid, pizza diavola, prosecco—just about everything. And incredibly friendly service. We'll be back soon.

Very nice restaurant. Friendly service. Solid food. You can also sit comfortably outside. I enjoy going there.

Excellent in EVERYTHING! Giovanni and his team are true WORLD CHAMPIONS!!! I invite everyone to try this extraordinary Italian restaurant, right here in the center of Munich, including the amazing pizza...

Highly recommended! Friendly staff, good food…what more could you want?

Highly recommended, authentic Italian restaurant with typical Italian cuisine and Mediterranean dishes. An appealing daily specials menu and a fine lunch menu, not too crowded, and superbly attentive service. Excellent starters like vitello tonnato or wafer-thin carpaccio. Thin, well-topped pizzas and sensational homemade pasta.

Impeccable and very friendly service, great!

I went for dinner yesterday, and it was a real surprise. For a few hours, I felt like I was in Italy. The food was quality, the staff was very friendly, and my compliments to Chef Francesco. I can't wait to go back.

I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant in the heart of Munich, and it was a true highlight of my stay in the city. The location is perfect—central, yet cozy and inviting. The food was outstanding: freshly prepared, presented with great attention to detail, and simply fantastic in taste. I was particularly impressed by the quality of the ingredients and the creative combination of flavors. The service was equally remarkable: friendly, attentive, and always professional, without being intrusive. You feel welcome and well-cared for from the very beginning. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed—ideal for both a romantic dinner and a meeting with friends. I highly recommend this restaurant and am already looking forward to my next visit.

We had high expectations after seeing the restaurant's good reviews and the fact that pasta costs between €24 and €30. We made a reservation at short notice for the evening and managed to get a table for two outside the restaurant. I ordered the pasta with swordfish, and my partner ordered the pasta with ragu. The waiter was very friendly, calm, and polite. A good start to a pleasant evening. When our order finally arrived, we were surprised. The portions were extremely small, especially the pasta with ragu. It was about eight pieces of pasta. We had expected the portion to be larger than it first appeared, but that wasn't the case. We were still very hungry afterward, even though we were still full from our sumptuous lunch. We had naturally considered that the portions would be so small, as pasta is usually an appetizer in Italy. But the value for money at other Italian restaurants in Munich was by no means similar. We were, of course, very disappointed and also sad that we were paying so much for so little. We considered that it might be because we were in Munich and visiting the restaurant in the evening. But we still couldn't justify the portion size to ourselves. The food was tasty, but nothing special and not particularly aesthetically pleasing. However, we did find the restaurant's decor very nice, and the restrooms were also very clean. Therefore, we actually wanted to leave a four-star review so as not to damage the restaurant's excellent review and instead write constructive criticism so that the restaurant could take a step closer to achieving five stars and continue to develop. Unfortunately, this was dashed when we received the bill from a waitress who had stretched our patience and was truly rude. After she handed us the bill of €57 for a bottle of water and the two pasta dishes, we politely wanted to pay and leave. She took the money and started to leave. As we looked at her expectantly, she asked if we wanted change and not to leave a tip. I agreed, and she angrily gave us the change. On the one hand, it's normative that students and schoolchildren are logically not expected to tip. On the other hand, the fact that the waitress keeps the remaining change as a tip without asking how much change we wanted, regardless of the amount, is extremely rude and unacceptable. Besides, we would give it to the gentleman who served us well, not to someone else who just came to pay. When we finally asked for the change, her expression suddenly changed. She made a subtly derogatory comment that we apparently didn't like the meal. I, of course, responded that we enjoyed it very much and that we understood that we were in Munich, ordering from the dinner menu, and that pasta is actually an appetizer in Italy. However, in our opinion, the portions were far too small. The waitress immediately went on the defensive, didn't let me finish, and started an argument with us. She said that the portions were pre-made by the restaurant and otherwise she would have to throw away the food. It's obvious that this isn't true, as you can generally increase the pre-prepared portions. It's pasta with diced swordfish and sun-dried tomatoes. The ragu, in particular, was very problematic. The portion was really too small for €24, with only a few chunks of meat. This is unacceptable. We thanked them anyway and remained polite. The waitress walked away, visibly annoyed, without answering us. This is completely inappropriate for a restaurant, and no waitress should behave this way. Unfortunately, I don't recommend it!

Good food and great service. Reservation is important but we got a place as walk in customers, so great overall.

The sea bass with vegetables topped with black truffle shavings was excellent and served in a generous portion. I felt welcomed by the friendly attitude and excellent service..

I don't understand all these good reviews. The food was nothing special. I ordered "Fresh fish with truffles and a side dish." The fish was overcooked, the portion was small, and the whole thing had no particular flavor. The fact that it was my birthday (mentioned when making the reservation) was completely ignored. Won't be back.

We had a great dinner and wonderful service - a must go to in munich !!

An absolute insider tip! From the appetizer to the dessert – every dish was a delight. Super friendly service, a cozy atmosphere, and authentic Italian flavors. We'll definitely be back – 5 out of 5 stars! 🇮🇹🍝🍷

Great choice, excellent service, very friendly.

I was in Munich on holiday and decided to have dinner at this restaurant based on its 4.7 rating. Even though I knew that one must always discount the ratings on Google by 0.5 or so, boy was I wrong about this restaurant. Either I went on an "off" day or the previous reviewers were too kind. Our party of four ordered two pastas, a steak, a pizza and a salad to share. The two pasta dishes were UNDERCOOKED. They were not al dente, they were UNDERCOOKED. You had to put some effort into chewing them, like Haribo gummy bears. We told the waiter and requested for them to be cooked again, but when they came back nothing had changed. The steak was OVERCOOKED even though we had asked for it to be cooked Medium. And it was bland. Mercifully, the waiter forgot about our pizza and took it off our bill. Hence, we avoided having to pay for another disappointment. We ate a second dinner at another restaurant afterwards so that we would not go to bed hungry. There was one waiter that evening serving about 4-5 tables on the pavement and 2-3 tables inside. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and brought to a nice table by the window. However, subsequently he was indifferent to our complaints about the food and did not seem interested in making things better for us. I hope that other patrons will have better luck than us.

I was there this evening, there were 4 of us, we ordered 1 pizza, 2 first courses and 1 second course, and I have to say that everything was super good, an Italian restaurant in the centre of Munich, truly recommended.

Súper experiencia con un servicio extremadamente amable. La comida era auténtica y fresca. Mi recomendación absoluta para visitar Múnich.

The carpaccio was a dream 🤩 Great service and very friendly and attentive! Highly recommended!

This restaurant is so literally fantastic. If you are looking for a good restaurant, I do recommend here. I’m really on cloud nine with foods. And stuff is very friendly. Everything is absolutely perfect.

We were at Tavernetta for lunch and only had one starter each: two Vitello Tonnatos and one Parmigiana. It was very good, especially the meat in the Vitello Tonnato was perfect. The service was very attentive and friendly. A lovely little restaurant, with outdoor seating in the summer.

Davvero eccellente , sia il servizio che il cibo. Raramente si mangia bene italiano all estero, ma qui abbiamo mangiato meglio che in Italia. Davvero complimenti

Por dentro no parece mucho por dentro, pero la comida era increíble. Muy recomendable - se destacan el sarro, pasta de trufa y chuleta de ternera.

We just had lunch here. We both had a pizza. The base was nice and crunchy and the pizzas were well topped. A bit bland in taste but still nice. At this restaurant you can sit on the terrace. The staff was also very friendly.

Very good Italian cuisine but at 9:30 p.m. we were served starters and main courses at the same time, we didn't like it at all.

With 8 colleagues we went out for dinner last minute. Delicious fresh dishes, nice atmosphere and top service!! Very extensive orders!!

One of the best Pizza I can remember having in a long long time. Well cooked, crusty & crispy but not too much, tasty dough and even tastier topping, easy to digest. It was so good that I thought about going back there with my witfe on the following day even if I try not to eat Italian cuisine when I'm traveling because to me it kinda defeats the purpose of traveling. Personnel super kind & friendly. Very nice interaction when booking the table.

The service was excellent, the ambiance was lovely, and we felt at home. The food was outstanding! I highly recommend this restaurant! Ask for an antipasti platter; we've never had such a good antipasti platter before. The squid was excellent.

Fantastische Pizza und Pasta und wahnsinnig nettes Personal ! Eine absolute Empfehlung! Insbesondere die Kinderfreundlichkeit ist herausragend

Her şey çok güzel ve leziz ve doyurucuydu. Şarapları da ayrı beğendik , fiyat performans oranı süper bence tavsiye ederim

Great atmosphere and service, but the food was slightly disappointing, especially for the price.

Had an excellent meal there. The daily recommendation was great, especially the Polipetto affogato con frisella. The homemade pasta was equally terrific. Even though I didn't make a reservation, I still managed to get a seat in the fully booked restaurant.

Great experience, super pizza, very pleasant service!!! Thank you Francesco and Alexandra for the wonderful evening Leonardo

I have rarely been so satisfied with an Italian restaurant. Both the pasta and the pizza were particularly tasty and freshly prepared. Even though it is in the center of Munich, it was very quiet and pleasant. The staff very friendly and competent. Can only be recommended!

La atención de los servidores, la calidad de los platos son verdaderamente “magníficos”. Tenía el tagliatelle con trufa negra. La pasta estaba perfectamente al dente y el sabor de la salsa con las trufas negras era excelente. Definitivamente ingredientes frescos y bien preparados. Para el desierto opté por el especial de la noche, un pistacho semifredo que quedó perfecto. No demasiado dulce, servido con un chorrito de chocolate y con moras frescas. La textura de la pieza no era demasiado suave y sin embargo se derritió en mi boca. Era una verdadera obra de arte y un acabado perfecto.

Since January 2025 with a new operator as I found out today. We were there with a group of 20 people and what can I say… everyone was thrilled! We were served in a very attentive and friendly manner. The atmosphere was cozy and high-quality at the same time. The food is of great quality and brought from the kitchen to the plate with noticeable love. The chef not only does his job, but loves his job! Our group's unanimous conclusion: We'll be back! Yummy…. TOP and absolutely recommended! Many thanks to the team!

Finally an Italian who... ... Knows how to serve his guests ... Knows when to ask the guest ... makes pizza ...satisfies customers I can really recommend this type of shop to anyone for an Italian flair. The only request would be to make the feeling better: play Italian music and you would be completely happy with that.

A true pearl in Munich's vast ocean of restaurants! 🤩Food was simply excellent - the starters were a real poem, a real taste explosion😊 The homemade pasta fresca? Never eaten better! 🫠Plus service that is second to none: extremely courteous and attentive🥰 The atmosphere rounds off the experience perfectly - cozy and inviting 😊 A culinary highlight that we will definitely visit again!!!☺️

We'll be back. The food was very good and we enjoyed the evening in your restaurant.

Very friendly, courteous service. The meals were also good. We'll definitely come by again.

Cenamos en este pequeño restaurante durante dos noches seguidas. estaba cerca del hotel donde nos alojábamos. el servicio era amable y atento. la comida era buena y refinada. como en italia.

Very nice staff, great value for money

Super nice little restaurant with a great team and fantastic food. The starters were culinary poems and the main course was a dream. Wine selection very good. We'd love to come back there.

Great food and great atmosphere! The employees are very nice and friendly. Thank you!🤩

Wonderful food, great service! I truly enjoyed every item of my meal. The preparation of the artichoke salad was quite unexpected in a good way, with caramelized orange peel. And the tiramisu was one of the best I've had, with fresh berries in the middle of the winter. The presentation was very well done and the attentive servers made my experience even more pleasant. I would definitely return if I'm back in Munich.

Super nice team, very good cuisine, excellent price-performance ratio! Not that big, so it's better to reserve.

All around an Italian to feel good about. You enter the restaurant and feel like you are in Italy. Warmth of service in a natural way. Food is great and I appreciate that you can take a look into the kitchen.

Fine restaurant in the center with wonderful truffles, we would love to come back

If you're looking for traditional, modern interpretations of honest Italian cuisine, you've come to the right place. The store is not very big and therefore offers a great ambience in which you feel completely comfortable. The dishes are perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The portions are very well balanced. Starter, main course and dessert all perfect. Just a note from me; the triamisu is a bit too fatty and creamy. But that is certainly a matter of taste. I would like to recommend the restaurant to everyone, even for a longer stay. grace

Top quiet romantic restaurant with very friendly staff and fantastic food!!! The rib-eye was perfect as ordered and the recommended red wine was a delight and went perfectly with it. The Italian was also very enjoyed at the table.

Found this place thanks to great reviews and we were not disappointed! Absolutely worth a try if you are in Munich.

I went there to eat, everything was good and delicious, I recommend going there Very nice location and they served immediately. I'm very happy and I'll go again ❤️

Highly recommended I had dinner for two consecutive evenings Giovanni and all his very helpful staff. His veal with tuna sauce is fantastic, a must try, the place is very welcoming and the service is impeccable. Very important thing, very close to the center.

La Tavernetta è stata una vera sorpresa! Cercavamo un posto autentico dove assaggiare la cucina italiana e non siamo rimasti delusi. La pizza è sottile e croccante, proprio come quella napoletana, e la pasta fresca è fatta in casa. L'atmosfera è accogliente e il personale è super gentile. Se siete a Monaco, non potete perdervi questa gemma nascosta!"

The Tavernetta was a real surprise! We were looking for an authentic place to taste Italian cuisine and we were not disappointed. The pizza is thin and crunchy, just like the Neapolitan one, and the fresh pasta is homemade. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is super friendly. If you are in Munich, you can't miss this hidden gem!"

Very good Italian cuisine, brilliant pizza and very friendly, courteous staff

Questo ristorante è perfetto per chi vuole mangiare a pranzo e a cena in tranquillità. Personale ottimo e cibo di qualità

La Tavernetta: the perfect place for a delicious dinner! I recently ate at Tavernetta and it was an unforgettable dining experience! The pasta with meat was simply divine: soft, tasty and with a sauce that melted in the mouth. And the antipasti were equally delicious, arranged with care and taste. The waiter recommended a Sauvignon that went perfectly with my meal. The service was attentive and friendly, rounding out the experience perfectly. If you want to taste traditional dishes with a modern touch, Tavernetta is the perfect place for you.

Not great. Had pasta, dorada and starters. Starters (vitello tonnato and mozzarella di buffala) ok, pasta very oily and saucy (not what you may be used to have in Italy), dorada kind of overcooked and not fresh. Deserts tiramisu and sorbetto ok, white wine a bit too sweet for our taste (we asked for the driest). Service was nice, within the typical Italian flavour, but given the dissapointing food quality most likely we will not come back

I went to dinner yesterday with my family, we had a great time and ate as if we were in Italy, the pasta with seafood was delicious, the pizza had a high crust and was well cooked. The service was friendly and kind. The next time we return to Munich it will be an obligatory stop for us. I recommend it

We had dinner during a short stay in Munich. Fabulous Italian cuisine and very nice and friendly owner and staff. Very welcoming and very clean rooms (no small feat). Honest prices. Definitely worth a try if you stop here and are looking for an Italian restaurant.

Capitati per caso, vicino al nostro hotel, in questo locale che propone sia piatti tradizionali italiani (proprietari e cuoco SONO italiani) di qualità molto alta, sia ottime pizze con “cornicione” a prova di palato partenopeo. Servizio cortese e amichevole. Siamo ritornati due sere dopo per festeggiare il compleanno di mia moglie. Da non perdere, se siete in zona.

Sea bream fillet was served very dry; Spinach as a side dish was very spicy, so that only the sheep could be felt in the mouth. It's a shame about the food, you don't go to the restaurant for that. The cutlery is in poor condition: the knife doesn't cut at all. Staff very nice, friendly and attentive. The tables are already at a distance from each other so that you can have a comfortable conversation. The music isn't too loud, which is good for conversation while eating. Due to the quality of the food I won't go there again. P.S.: the coffee (also capuccino) was bitter, but I didn't include that in the rating above as it is often the case in Germany.

Wonderful find next to our hotel. Pizza and pasta were excellent

Ambiente agradable y animado. El servicio fue excelente, nos hablaron en italiano, Alemania e inglés, lo que nos pareció😀. La comida era muy sabrosa. Sin duda volveríamos.

Simply a really good restaurant..great food with very good wines, very friendly service in a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere..flawless...go there!!!

Very nice service but unfortunately that was it. The quality of the food we consumed was not good. Two cold eggplant slices with a small pile of lukewarm goat cheese for €20 is definitely a statement. Unfortunately, the two pizzas that followed were only mediocre. Too bad.

"Echter Italiener“ – wir haben ausgezeichnet zu Abend gegessen. Wir hatten drei Gänge, die wir in 2 Stunden gemütlich genossen haben. Der Service war sehr nett und nicht aufdringlich. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Price/performance is really good for Munich city center. The food was also good and the service was cheerful and friendly.

Very welcoming staff and very good food, you can come without fear

Salad and pizza were fantastic. My husband got the beef filet and said it was good not great. The chocolate profiteroles were delish! Highly recommend!

Cozy restaurant with great service. My clear recommendation for Italian cuisine!

Eccellente ristorante italiano. Posizione centrale, locale accogliente e ben arredato. Cucina classica italiana, ben fatta e presentata, con ingredienti di ottima qualità. Ottimi anche vini e distillati, con ricarichi corretti. Personale cortese e professionale, prezzi nella norma, ottimi in confronto con la qualità.

Delicious pizza! The filling tasted very fresh: tomato, basil and cheese. The vegetable soup was also tasty. The linguini was ok. Very friendly staff.

“An absolutely fantastic restaurant! The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Every bite was a delight and the quality of the ingredients was noticeable. The service was outstanding - the staff were friendly, attentive and made sure we felt completely at home. A place that I will definitely recommend and would be happy to come back to. Thank you for the great experience!”

Very good Italian food and nice traditional decor.

Gemütlicher Gastraum. Sehr freundlicher und zuvorkommender Service. Kleine, aber feine Speisenauswahl. Die Dorade mit Trüffeln war ausgezeichnet. Auch die Nachtische waren ein Gedicht. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Everything is very upscale: service, food, prices.

My wife and I had dinner in this restaurant, we went without booking, we were welcomed very well and seated at a table near the window, we shared a starter, grilled smoked provola, very good. as the main course we had the meat and my wife the pasta, all very filling. the staff were friendly and helpful. I recommend it.

Excellent place, excellent service, excellent food with super desserts and quality grappas

Vado spesso a Monaco e la Tavernetta per me è tappa fissa; sono tornata in città nel mese di agosto ed ho avuto l'opportunità di gustare le prelibatezze della tipica cucina italiana! Il locale offre piatti molto variegati e la gentilezza dello staff mi fa sentire come se fossi a casa. Ristorante assolutamente consigliato e,per di più, in posizione centrale.

Last night, with friends we were looking for a restaurant, we came across a side street and so we discovered this beautiful Italian restaurant, very welcoming, the staff were super, the food was delicious, the waiters were very kind, in short I felt at home, very welcoming, all very good, I'm really happy, I really recommend trying the cuisine of the restaurant La Tavernetta, Isartor, thank you very much to all of you, we will be back soon.

Best pizza in the world.. absolute masterpiece. Thanks to Giuseppe and his team. You are amazing.

Great atmosphere, great food! Would come again. The service was kind but slow to notice sometimes however didn’t prevent us from enjoying the good food.

We walked through the door and immediately felt at home, kind and courteous guys, excellent service and excellent dishes

I'm a vegetarian and it's not always easy to be satisfied. I had a great time here, beautiful and delicious dishes. Super staff and really nice owners. Absolutely recommended place

Fantastic experience. Very kind staff. Excellent Italian cuisine in Munich. If you are in Munich, I highly recommend it

Very friendly, competent staff, delicious food, great restaurant! Price performance fits. We would love to come back ❤

Good service and satisfied cuisine

Food was amazing and also service. One of the best we ever visited.

Good food, good service, and it’s located in the heart of Munich.. Recommended if you are looking forward to an authentic Italian experience 🍕 🍝 🍷

Locale bello pulito accogliente, personale professionale e simpatico, la cucina molto buona, vera cucina italiana a differenza di tante insegne italiane nella città.

We spent an incredible evening for my birthday ! The food was very tasty, like in Italy ! 😍 The starter, the meat, the bergamot, ohh my god !! 🤩🤩 The service was amazing ! We spent very very nice dinner and we will comeback for sure !!! Very recommended 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Siamo stati a pranzare alla tavernetta per diversi giorni, ambiente molto gradevole e raffinato, il proprietario gentile e disponibile, cibo ottimo, consigliatissimo

Ambiente familiare ed accogliente. Marco, il proprietario, particolarmente gentile, professionale e disponibile. Ci ha preparato piatti semplici, gustosi, di gran qualità e prestando attenzione alla non contaminazione del glutine! Anche i ragazzi dello staff molto cortesi. In una città dove trionfa il Veg e il gf non viene considerato un problema “di salute”, consiglio vivamente questo ristorante italiano dove ci si sente a casa! Laura da Milano

Very tasty food with very good service and friendly staff!

Very good restaurant. Very good food, the pasta arrived a little hard but everything else was great.

Italian place and in particular of Calabrian origins. The menu options are interesting. Highly recommended tagliolini with truffle. Accurate service, average bill
