Trattoria Cento Lire in Hamburg

The worst service ever experienced in Hamburg. Food was not too bad (after correcting wrong orders delivered). Body language by waitress was not inviting to any nice atmosphere nor showing any interest in our experience in the restaurant. On the positive side, the food was tasty.

Nachdem wir schon mal ein Abendessen dort verbracht haben musste ich nun Festellen das der heutige Tag mega Enttäuschend war STARTEND :Personal mega gestresst Dadurch auch sehr unfreundlich und dem Gast gegenüber sehr abwertend. Lerne:Der Gast ist König!!! Falsches Getränk gebracht..reklamiert von mir ..es wurde versucht das ich es doch trinken könne.. Entencarpaccio bestellt wie angepriesen auf der Karte..Nicht da ist aus!!! Solle doch vom Rind nehmen usw usw. Wartezeit aufs Essen knappe 50 Minuten Und das bei einen Begleitbrot auf Haus mit Olivenöl. Eigentlich möchte ich übers Essen nicht meckern weil Geschmäcker sind verschieden Doch die 3 Hauptspeisen waren leider mega Miserabel Vitello Tonato Bewertung eine 4 Entrcote mit Gemüse für mein Kind eine 4 Spaghetti mit Garnelen. Eine 4- Einfach nur Schade für das tolle Material Also Leut vom Team und der Küche Bitte strengt Euch mehr an Lg tommy

Bem perto do nosso hotel. Um restaurante típico italiano com uma atmosfera maravilhosa. Entrada deliciosa e pratos principais saborosos. Realmente um ótimo lugar para comer.Gostoso e tranquilo. Com um ótimo atendimente em italiano.

Beautiful restaurant, we spontaneously ate here on vacation. Fantastic interior, friendly service and the penne all'arrabbiata was to die for :))

... delicious and when the weather is good you can sit outside beautifully... almost like you're on vacation...

Service was nice. Food was nothing special. Ordered tiramisu and got given half the portion I've seen from pictures in earlier reviews of the place. Not great for 7€. Wouldn't go there again.

The service staff had to do the outside area alone, which meant that one or two things were delayed. It's a shame that the employees are so stressed out by too few staff. The food was mediocre

Delicious food, friendly, characterful atmosphere and lovely people. Grazie Mille.

A place to feel good Pizza with potatoes and bacon is a feast for the eyes

One of the best Italian restaurants we've ever been to. The shop is very comfortably furnished, the staff is incredibly nice and the food - from the simple pasta with tomato sauce to the sophisticated dishes with fish, meat or carbonara - everything was simply above average delicious. If we are in Hamburg again, we would like to come back.

The best pizza in ages! The bruschetta was also great!

Good wine, good pizza and pasta, the food was just missing a bit of spice. Unfortunately the service was very hectic, but overall it was a nice evening.

Cozy family restaurant, we would love to come back!

A spontaneous visit that was worth it. Delicious pizza and super friendly service! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

It was a very successful evening. The selection of the daily menu is typical of Italian cuisine. I also decided straight away for a main course. I like a beer and you can never go wrong with your choice of councillor.

The food is ok but overpriced. Operation can be improved.

I'm very impressed! Insanely delicious food, cozy Italian atmosphere and great service. We will come back, no question! By the way, a dog is also a welcome guest!!!

Una piacevole sorpresa. Trovato per caso, e nonostante il ‘cash only’ che nel 2024 dovrebbe essere superato, la qualità si è rivelata eccellente. Nella stessa settimana di permanenza ad Amburgo ho infine cenato tre volte al ‘Cento Lire’ per provarlo su vari fronti. Devo essere onesto: mi sono divertito, piatti ottimi (un rigatone al sugo di pomodoro e basilico che mi ha evocato ricordi antichi, una caponata sublime, la pizza più che decente per essere in Germania del Nord, un’ottima lasagna) sono stato bene, l’atmosfera è piacevole e intima. Le ragazze si muovono come farfalle leggere tra i tavoli e sorridono sempre. Tra loro, Cristina mi è rimasta nel cuore. Grazie!

A very nice, cozy, very lovingly furnished shop where you feel extremely welcome thanks to the hosts. Very tasty food! One of the best pizzas I've ever had! Many thanks to the great hosts!

Great food, super nice staff, we had a very nice evening! LG

Ein wunderschönes Lokal mit einer strahlenden Bedienung. Tolle Küche mit fairen Preisen. Wir kehren jedes Mal ein, wenn wir in Hamburg sind.

A classic italian in the hood, very good antipasti, lovely team and always a safe bet 🥰🍷

Wunderbares Restaurant mit sehr sympathischem Service. Wir hatten zwei Pizzen, die super geschmeckt haben.

Food was good, but the service was sooooo slow.

geniale Pizza zum Mittagstisch gegessen. Super nette Bedienung. Sehr gemütlich.

Das Essen ist sehr zu empfehlen! Wir hatten zwei Pizzen und den Rucolasalat. Leider konnte man nicht mit Karte zahlen.

Waren durch n "Doppeldate" zufällig dort gelandet, weil das Restaurant wo wir eigentlich hin wollten voll war und wir waren am Ende alle sehr froh darüber das es so war. Alles war einfach unendlich köstlich & sehr schön angerichtet, wundervolle Atmosphäre, mega freundliche & herzliche Bedienung und die Preise sind mehr als fair, kann ich wirklich nur empfehlen. Ich selbst hatte ne Pizza und das Tiramisu als Dessert, aber wir waren alle 4 absolut begeistert von jedem Gericht was wir hatten, auch von den Vorspeisen und der Pasta und ich bin mir sicher alles was sonst noch auf der Karte steht ist bestimmt genauso unglaublich lecker. Gehen ab jetzt immer mal wieder gern dorthin.

Wir waren nun zum wiederholten Male in dieser gemütlichen Pizzeria. Eine Pizzeria zum wohlfühlen für alle Sinne. Ich kann immer wieder die Pasta, egal in welcher Variation, nur empfehlen. Mein absolutes Highlight, Vitello Tonnato. Auch die Pizza, einfach lecker. Alle Kräfte sind stets bemüht das man sich wohl fühlt..Freuen uns schon jetzt auf unser nächstes Mal:-)

Einer unserer Lieblingsitaliener in Hamburg. Es wird auf die Wünsche des Kunden eingegangen. Wichtig beim Besuch, Cash only. Sonst sind alle Mitarbeiter und Mitarbeiterinnen sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Lokal ist schön dekoriert und es lässt sich durchaus ein romantischer Abend vor Ort gestalten.

Immer sehr leckeres Essen, es gibt ab 12:00 Uhr in der Woche auch Mittagstisch.

Sehr nettes familiengeführtes Restaurant. Gemütliche Aussenplätze. Die Trüffelpizza schmeckt dort sehr gut, auch der Beilagensalat ist sehr gut abgeschmeckt. Hatten noch Seeteufel war eine großzügige Portion an Fisch. Schön ist auch, dass alkoholfreie apperetivos schön serviert werden. Der Service ist sehr aufmerksam. Gerne wieder.

Niche place. Tasty food which you can order at least after 30 minutes of waiting. One waiter not very service oriented. Pitty.

Sehr gutes Essen und die attraktivste Bedienung in ganz Hamburg

Pizza Buona, cordialità, ma supra Tutto un Vero espresso.

Naja. Wieso dieser Italiener als authentisch bezeichnet wird, ist mir rätselhaft. Eigentlich wollte ich Tagliatelle mit Trüffeln bestellen, als ich aber erfuhr, dass die Tagliatelle vorgekocht sind und es nicht garantiert sei, dass sie dann al dente serviert werden können, (Eine sehr ehrliche Antwort der sehr sympathischen Kellnerin) habe ich davon Abstand genommen. Bei einem Gericht, dass 24,50 Euro kosten soll, ist das schon sehr merkwürdig. Der dann bestellte Kabeljau agro dolce war mittelmäßig, die Kartoffeln auch vorgekocht und gebraten dementsprechend. Der Salat dazu war sehr gut. Nein, das ist leider keinen zweiten Besuch wert.

4 Sterne wegen des maßlos überforderten Personals und langer Wartezeiten. Das Lokal ist an sich ein klassischer Italiener, wie man ihn erwarten würde. Rustikal und gemütlich eingerichtet. Auch draußen sitzt man gut und überdacht. Die Pizzen waren sehr gut, das Antipasti eines Freundes jedoch ziemlich lieblos angerichtet und mengenmäßig eher wenig.

This place provides amazing quality food at reasonable prices. The service is spot on. I had the carbonara and it was one of the best Italian dishes I have had!

Obwohl es noch nicht richtig voll war, schien die nette Bedienung ausgelastet und selbst die Wartezeit, bis wir Getränke bestellen konnten, war recht lang. So ging es auch weiter. Die Vorspeise fand ich sehr lecker (vitello tonnato), das nachfolgende Pastagericht mochte ich nicht: Die Sauce hatte weder eine mir angenehme Konsistenz, noch hat sie mir geschmeckt. Aber der Rotwein war gut! Für die gebotene Gesamtqualität fand ich das Lokal eindeutig zu teuer. War trotzdem ein netter Abend.

Sehr zuvorkommende Bedienung, tolle Atmosphäre, super Essen!

Super Pizza. Hatte eine White, war klasse.

Sehr leckeres Essen und sehr zuvorkommender Service. Nicht ganz günstig, aber dafür auch Pasta und Pizza, die besonders sind.

Super lecker und schöne Atmosphäre. Leider war beim zweiten Besuch der Service äußerst unfreundlich

Danke, ein Italiener mit Stil und Charme

Die Trattoria Cento Lire liegt direkt ggü. des Messeeingangs Süd und der U-Bahn Haltestelle Messehallen. Die Speisekarte ist abwechslungsreich und das Ambiente ist ganz schön. Leider ist die Geräuschkulisse aber kaum auszuhalten, eine normale Konversation am eigenen Tisch war im vollen Restaurant nicht möglich. Die Rigatoni Bolognese waren in Ordnung, jedoch habe ich schon deutlich bessere gegessen. Schade, für den aufgerufenen Preis hatte ich mehr erwartet.

Wir haben diesen schönen Italiener durch Google gefunden. Wir wurden nett begrüßt und konnten uns einen schönen Tisch raussuchen. Zum Essen haben wir uns für eine Pizza entschieden, die wir hier bei den Rezensionen auf einem Foto gesehen haben. Enttäuscht wurden wir definitiv nicht. Die Pizza war wirklich SUPER! Diesen Italiener können wir gut weiterempfehlen. Einziges Manko ist für uns, dass hier in bar bezahlt werden muss! Sonst ein schönes Restaurant in toller Ambiente und toller Pizza!

Endlich mal wieder zum Mittagstisch im Cento, unserem Lieblings-Wohlfühlort ❤👌👍Superlecker, glücklichmachend, liebe, herzliche Menschen, dankeschön 🥰🤗

Für eine Großstadt, mitten in einem HotSpot richtig gut! Essen, Service passt, sehr nett und aufmerksam

Bestes Steak ever ❤️, Burrata auf Mango & Papaya sehr lecker

Alle Angestellte waren nett und zuvorkommend. Pizza lecker gegen auf Sonderwünsche ein.

Best carbonara ever, ultra friendly staff, nice background music

I have been here three times. It is a very cosy and warm experience each time. We have tried several dishes. Each of them was prepared with full attention to taste and honesty. The boss himself was very friendly and effective. We will be here next year as well.

Ik heb hier heerlijk gegeten en de service was top! Een hele vriendelijke gastvrouw. Ik kwam 45 minuten voor sluitingstijd aan en ze gaf me geen gevoel dat ik na die 45 minuten meteen moest gaan. Heel gastvrij!

WORST service ever!!! 15 minutes waiting for the menu after 2 calls, that we'd like to have the menu! Need to remind on each step about fork and knife, about sugar for the coffee etc. After asking 2 times the bill and having to remind again, the answer by the owner were: "we have lunch right now". I was shocked. Never, never again. CC are not accepted.

Pizza margherita con pomodoro a fette sopra (???), mangiabile ma mediocre e sicuramente non vale i 10,50 euro. La signora (credo la proprietaria) molto scorbutica. Si paga solo cash (e me l’hanno detto solo al momento del conto) e hanno voluto che lasciassi il mio passaporto mentre andavo a prelevare ad un ATM in una zona poco raccomandabile. Da evitare!

Essen war gut, Preis angemessen. Besonders hervorzuheben war die aufmerksame und zuvorkommende Bedienung. Das Ambiente war auch nett.

Wir waren zu viert im Cento Lire - es gäbe Positives zu berichten - liebenswert-chaotischer Service, gutes Essen, freundliche Atmosphäre, wenngleich etwas laut aufgrund der Fülle. Voll war es, man musste sehr laut sprechen, um sich verstehen zu können - und dann fällt einem auf, dass die Mitarbeiterinnen keinen der Gäste auf Corona-Status gefragt oder überprüft haben. Auf Nachfrage wurden dann wir vier kontrolliert, und am Nebentisch noch die erste Person - das war's dann aber. Kein Wunder, dass auch in Hamburg die Corona-Zahlen wieder steil nach oben gehen.

Tolle abwechselnde Tageskarte mit ausschließlich frischen Zutaten! Qualität und Geschmack ist Oberklasse! Zudem ist das Personal (vor allem der Chef) super freundlich. Wir wurden als Bayern mit Lederhosen herzlichst empfangen! Alles bestens!

Wartezeit: 1.5h / Personal vollkommen überlastet/ Chef arrogant/ Preis bei Penne mit Rinderfiletstreifen vollkommen überzogen

Es bleibt jedem überlassen wie er folgenden Aufenthalt bewerten würde: 24.07.21, 18:10 Uhr: Check in mit 6 durstigen und hungrigen Personen am reserviertem Tisch. Das Restaurant ist gut besucht. Die 2 Bedienungen im Service sind offensichtlich total überfordert! Arroganter Inhaber. 18:45 Uhr: Endlich ist die Bestellung für die ersten Getränke möglich 19:00 Uhr: Getränke werden gebracht und wir können (endlich) das Essen bestellen. Nichts kompliziertes: nur Pizzen, Pasta, Salat und Bruschetta. 20:00 Uhr!: Essen kommt. Qualität ok! 20:40 Uhr: Rechnung kommt. Summe 146.80€. Wir zahlen 150€. (Mehr Trinkgeld war dieser Service nicht wert) Die Bedienung beschwert sich und möchte allerdings 10% Tip! Wirklich unverschämt ! Wir gehen und werden nie mehr wiederkommen. Schade!

Nette Bedienungen und gute abwechslungsreiche Gerichte auf der Karte. Empfehlenswert für ein schönes Abendessen!

Der Abend begann mit einer etwas griffigen Begrüßung durch den Service. Lockerte sich jedoch zusehends über den Abend. Hier bekommt man zu moderaten Preisen, aus ein sehr übersichtlichen Karte frisch zubereitete Pizzen und Drinks. Gern einen Besuch wert.

I really like this restaurant been around for a long time and live near it. It serves fresh food everyday except mondays. great steaks with truffels raviolis are great pizza too!

Directly opposite the Messe, in the Karolinenviertel district, this is a gem. Locals know it but the owners are comfortable with tourists. The meals are generous and the wine delicious. Highly recommended both for service and quality.

Saw this restaurant as we returned from the convention site. Plenty of customers there at lunch, so thought we would try it for an early dinner at 6 PM. To us, it was very European in the style, lots of outside dining and casual. the menu seemed limited in the offerings but had a meal for everyone's taste. The house wine was very good, I had a Pinot Gris and the food was delicious served in the correct portion. Family friendly, very casual & great service.

We ordered several items from starters to deserts and all of them were lovely. The only thing they didn’t have was some hot chili 😊. I love my chili ... Very very reasonably priced too. Go and try, you’ll surely enjoy.

Place was recommended by our hotel concierge and we were glad we went! People were queueing to get in, but waiter quickly found us a small table. Pizze ~€8, but also pricier dishes (truffle pasta with a mountain of grated truffle for ~€25). Friendly place, large portions of high quality. Only downside: cash only, so do visit a cash machine before splashing out on those truffle linguine.

I visited Cento Lire with my family and must say upfront that service personnel was quite friendly and kindly offered us a better and larger table in order for the kids to have some more space. As to the food we tasted several starters and main courses being a party of five. Salads were ok but a bit uninspiring. Burrata with beetroot had a single sliced cherry tomato and a few salad leaves to it while the goat cheese salad with avocado was quite nice. Pizza was average and the kids - being aficionados - found it nowhere near as good as the Italian original or Pizza from other good restaurants in the area. The pasta main course with paccheri and salsiccia was a mediocre standard while the fish was well prepared but without any ambition to go beyond typical standard. All in all I must conclude that the pricing level for the dinner menu is above average - in particular considering what quality of food justifies - while the general menu being served throughout the day is ok‘ish in pricing but somewhat lacking the real Italian quality.

On entrance you are treated by a lovely lady and a quaint little restaurant. The menu is hand written and gives a lovely homely feeling. We were given a bowl of homemade vegetables soup and bread on arrival before ordering any food. Delicious We have booked for evening meal

We found this to be a very enjoyable small Italian restaurant. It has a small menu which changes every day and also does great pizzas. The food is fresh and tasty, the service is great and attentive. The owner asked if we would like a drink on him after the meal in the Italian fashion. I was wonderfully surprised when I asked if he had any Strega which is an Italian liqueur and initially he said no but then arrived with a the Strega which he had found somewhere. There many customers who were obviously regulars as well as visitors. We just enjoyed the good food and great atmosphere. One note, they only take cash and no credit cards.

Just look at the picture and you can see the quality of the produce. It is all done very simply with little salt or oil added. Will definitely come back here when I an next in Hamburg. Situated just across from Hamburg fair South Entrance gate.

We were staying around the corner from this restaurant at the NH collection, and while away we wanted a quiet early night after a long day traveling. Then we stumbled on this fantastic Italian restaurant & had to go back a second night! The menu is small but everything we had was fantastic from the pizza, to the pasta, to the steak. I love Italian food and I often avoid restaurants because I feel I could make a better meal - but this place was a real exception! The pasta was delicious, well seasoned and homemade, the pizza was thin and perfect, and the steak was tender and rare. They also served a delicious prosecco & the price was very reasonable. I really recommend going - the staff, food and atmosphere were excellent!

Fantastic. That's a word. This is easily in my top four favourite Italian restaurants in the world. In the same list as the Pink Door in SanFrancisco, Jano in totnes (which where I went on the first date with my wife) and a little place in Amalfi, the name of which escapes me. Cento Lira is family run, and it shows. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, a little excitable (in an Italian sort of way) and the owner will make room for you if he possibly can, even if it seems unlikely. The food is excellent, I mean really excellent. The menu is short, but the dishes are better, fresher and the chef has time to give you the best as a result. Beware of a place with a six page menu. If you are in Hamburg and want a really enjoyable meal and you like Italian food, this should be at the top of the list. There is seating outside too, when the weather permits.

Very nice staff, easy to reach via underground. The interior was also nicely decorated. I had spaghetti with pumpkin, tomatoes and prawn. It tasted really good, unfortunately the spaghetti were not al dente and overcooked so that I did not enjoy it as much as I could have. I would go again and hope the pasta would be better next time.

Don't be confused by the apperance from the outside. The curtain, that acts as a door is oldfashioned (at best), but the restaurant is better than that. Good food - especially the pizza was fine.

Ate twice here on two business trips, lunch and dinner. Both were very good, authentically Italian. The maitre d' is entertaining, almost a caricature of an Italian maitre d. The complimentary limoncello (we were offered out choice of drink) after we had asked for the...

We visited the Trattoria with a group and everybody was satisfied. The vegetarian gnocchi were very good, as there was the seafood pasta. The pizza is cheap and tasty. The service was friendly, but a bit inflexible.

Quick and friendly service. The food was really tasty (soup, spinach & parmesan salad, pizza with prosciutto and champignons). Very reasonable price and nice atmosphere.

A friend and I were walking around in the neighbourhood and wanted to have something light before a concert in Laieszhalle, which is nearby. We told the waiter that we have altogether an hour, and the food arrived accordingly, after less than 10 minutes that...

Accept no creditcard?! Restaurant in West Europe 2016. Not serviceminded at all, not even a hello. To order food took like forever. Not a smile from one of the 10ish people that works at the restaurant. Has potential with a great location near the centre...

The Karo area has plenty to offer in all terms, it's the neighbourhood of the young and alternative, always very colourful and worth a stroll! Therefore, one can find cosy restaurants there and this one, near the Congress Centre and the U2 station, is worth...

Had a lovely afternoon. Food was great and the best service. They even created a nice bed for our little daughter who fell asleep before dinner. Highly recommended!

Nice meal and nice atmosphere, perfect for a simple lunch. Located directly in front of messe entrance south.

This is the type of restaurant everyone wants in their neighbourhood. Local, simple, friendly. Food is rustic Italian. Prices are low. Service is effective and attentive, yet very friendly. I had a classic, mixed salad of greens and a Vitello Tonnato. Both dishes very fresh...

Everything you would hope for in a trattoria, good value for money Italian food made with fresh produce. We walked in for lunch and discovered this local favourite. Busy for a good reason! The handwritten menu insert with the daily specials is a tad difficult...

If you are in the area you have to stop here, the restaurant is very cousy with lovely deco, food is amazing and table service is really lovely, we really injoyed our lunch

We had a great evening here. We struggled a bit as the specials menu was handwritten (by a doctor?) and our German/Italian was a bit rusty but the food was all delicious. Service was excellent and we would definitely return.

We visited this place suggested by a friend who previously visited it. The menu had around 15 options and was well balanced, we tried two different pastas and we didn't regret it. The ambiance is quite nice, the service is great and gives a feeling...

Came here with 3 other friends. The food's alright... nothing very special. The service was slow. Took some time before the menu arrived. The food also took a long time. They didn't bother serving us bread, but served all other tables. Further, the waiter had...

Very Italian restaurant, traditionally served with special dishes every day. Tasty food, and great ambience from the enthusiastic front-of-house man. They only speak German or Italian - which is fair enough, but be warned if you're an English speaker!

Perhaps the pizza's are worth going? The anti-pasta's were not special according to our taste. The waitress was very kind. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere even in table detailles.

Lovely trattoria on a corner not far from the Messe. Good price for authentic Italian dishes cooked and served by a staff which come from Sicily as well as Puglia. Very popular with locals and at times hard to find a table but the friendly...

This place was absolutely jammed at 6 pm, before a concert, so I held off and ate there after the concert at 10 pm, when it was only 90% full. Clearly a popular place. I was greeted heartily by an Italian fellow who grinned, shook...

Feeling is good and the food is great, not a wide choice but what is there s worth coming back... Service is very nice, with few jokes between servings. Me and my friend liked it a lot and we are going back tomorrow.

Ok,I'm italian so you could think I'm not objective but trust me,if you want to eat good come here. Good fish,good pasta,nice pizza(yes,only nice). Even my girlfriend approved the mascarpone cream and trust me, this means a lot. One drawback, no card accepted and here...

We stumbled into this Italian restaurant today which is the day before the marathon. It was fully booked but they were very friendly and offered a deal. It was a great decision. Food is stunning and the ingredients come all from Italy (no fake parmiggiano)....

Very welcoming friendly atmosphere. Great food at reasonable prices. Service could've been more efficient, but then again, that would've probably made it less authentic! I can really recommend the lamb racks, they were cooked to perfection!

close to Subway "Messehallen", this friendly Italian Restaurant offers delicous food, and the "vino di casa rosso" is good too. Will come back, Reservations are recommended on week-ends.

Excellent food, excellent service, reasonable prices. I found Cento Lire to be very good. The atmosphere is as appealing as the food, and the friendliness of the staff means I will absolutely return. Be aware however that they only accept cash, which is not uncommon...

The atmosphere is really Italian! The owner has sense of humor and talks with guests; even the menu is written by chief's hand! The wine by glasses is good too - rosso Montepulciano & bianco Pinot Grigio. So if you're a little bit tired of...

Not that Italian restaurants in hamburg are rare, but Cento Lire exceeds expectations for food quality, service and atmosphere. All very friendly and with the restaurant excellently located close to st Pauli, it is certainly worth a visit.
