Trattoria Pizzeria L‘Italiano in St. Leon-Rot

Had a Pizza Diavola for €13.90. The pizza lacked salt in my opinion. The service was friendly and polite. He did, however, praise his pizza to the skies 😅 But as a pizza expert, I definitely know better.

We spontaneously stopped by on a Sunday evening without a reservation. The food was very good, and I felt very comfortable. It's like a little Italian oasis in Germany. As soon as you walk through the door, you've arrived. I highly recommend a visit. Only parking could be a challenge.

This was (once again) nothing – unfortunately, we were once again very disappointed – starting with the truly poor service, which at times even seemed arrogant. The pizzas this time were extremely greasy (sometimes the previous ones were perfect, some were really bad; the quality fluctuates wildly). All in all, a very disappointing evening. We didn't feel like welcome guests. We waited a full 25 minutes to pay in a nearly empty restaurant. This was our last visit; we don't need to drive another 30 minutes for this experience.

We were here for dinner on Sunday evening. We had three pizzas and one pasta dish with Gorgonzola sauce. The food was excellent, and the ambiance was perfect. We couldn't fault the service, although there's still potential for improvement in some small details. All in all, we would come back and recommend a visit here without reservation.

Super nice location to sit comfortably with friends and family and enjoy delicious food!

Top-notch restaurant with authentic Italian and Sicilian dishes and attentive staff! For us personally, the best Italian restaurant we've seen in Germany! Reservations recommended! Bringing Neapolitan flair to Rot in the form of karaoke singing simply won't work; the Italian mentality of German guests is simply missing...

The food was okay, but nothing more. I'd just about accept the value for money. Dirty glasses, with lipstick on them. Someone, not us, gave the glasses to the waiter, and not even an apology. Very unprofessional and rude. Today we had live music. I should demand compensation. It was ridiculously loud, the entire place was blasted with sound. In the beer garden, it was impossible to even have a conversation, let alone order food. If only it had sounded good...

The food was delicious, but not what I ordered... my pasta dish was supposed to come with fish, which was apparently empty. So, they made my dish with scampi (which was also delicious). Despite that, I didn't order it, and it was prepared and served without asking. The ambiance inside is normal, but very loud due to the space. At around 6:30 p.m., the owner started singing karaoke loudly while everyone was eating?

Our new favorite pizzeria!!! Just like Italy. The buffalo mozzarella pizza was amazing. Great staff, and music outside too. We're thrilled 👌🏼🇮🇹🍕🎶

A fantastic evening. We had a great meal and were fantastically entertained by the staff. I've never experienced a service team singing while they work in Germany before. We had a fantastic time. We'd love to come back, but we live too far away. Definitely recommended. If you're in the area, go. It's worth it. Thanks to the whole team for the wonderful evening.

The best authentic Italian food in the area, and the dessert is super delicious. The tiramisu is a dream. Very friendly service. Simply fantastic.

Absolutely delicious! The staff is funny, friendly, and very service-oriented. The ambiance is also lovely. Top Italian restaurant! Grazie!

Very delicious food! Great service. A real recommendation 👍

Very friendly staff, good food and atmosphere like in Naples!!

Super delicious pizza We had the seasonal pizza from the March menu, highly recommended. It's a shame we live 170km away, otherwise we would have been there more often. We were there again on Saturday, with the seasonal pizza again and the tartufo, super delicious 😋 Great atmosphere

The restaurant was full upon arrival. Fabio asked to wait 20 minutes so something would become available. The atmosphere and interaction actually made me return after a walk. Absolutely worth it!! The staff is more than friendly. Friendly, welcoming, and perfectly present. The food… Who would have expected this little piece of Sicily in the middle of nowhere in Germany… sublime. Fantastic pizza and delicious pasta, all at a very reasonable price. Worth every euro. Fabio, keep up the good work!

A super authentic Italian restaurant 🇮🇹 with lots of charm and good humor. Fabio and his team are very friendly and, above all, welcoming 💛. The food🍕 and service🍹 ​​are top-notch. We'd love to come back. Best wishes from Walldorf Yasemin

Ein Abend, den ich am liebsten vergessen würde. Schon beim Betreten des Lokals hatte ich ein ungutes Gefühl – leider hat sich dieses im Laufe des Abends mehr als bestätigt. Ich hatte Rigatoni al Forno bestellt – ein Gericht, das ich eigentlich liebe. Was mir jedoch serviert wurde, war kaum wiederzuerkennen: lieblos angerichtet, völlig übergart, fade und geschmacklich eine Zumutung. Nach wenigen Bissen war für mich klar: Das kann und will ich nicht essen. Doch das war noch längst nicht der Tiefpunkt des Abends. Während wir versuchten, irgendwie in Ruhe zu essen, begann der Wirt plötzlich damit, Mikrofone an die Gäste zu verteilen. Was folgte, war eine bizarre Mischung aus Karaoke-Abend und Stammtisch-Stimmung – nur viel lauter. Sichtlich alkoholisierte Gäste versuchten, italienische Lieder mitzusingen, und statt einzuschreiten, mischten sich der Wirt und sein Kellner mit noch lauteren, völlig schiefen Gesängen ein. Der Geräuschpegel war unerträglich, von einer entspannten Atmosphäre keine Spur. Das Ganze wirkte eher wie eine Kirmesbude als ein italienisches Restaurant. Jeder Versuch, das Essen zu genießen, wurde von Gegröle, Lärm und Fremdscham zunichte gemacht. Doch am meisten hat mich die Gleichgültigkeit gegenüber den Gästen gestört: Beim Abräumen meines Tellers – der fast unangetastet war – stand der Wirt selbst am Tisch. Kein einziges Wort. Kein „Hat es Ihnen geschmeckt?“ oder „War alles in Ordnung?“. Nichts. Das sagt für mich alles. Ich habe selten ein Restaurant so enttäuscht und kopfschüttelnd verlassen. Für mich steht fest: Dieses "Lokal" werde ich nie wieder betreten – und ich kann es auch niemandem guten Gewissens empfehlen.

I highly recommend this pizzeria; the owner and his team are excellent. The food is top-notch, as is the entertainment with singing outside 👍 simply fantastic. You feel like you're on vacation. Thank you Fabio for the lovely evening, and warm greetings from Walldorf 😉 (Thomas) We'll be back! Ciao, my dear 👋

An evening I would rather forget. I had a bad feeling as soon as I entered the restaurant – unfortunately, this feeling was more than confirmed as the evening progressed. I had ordered Rigatoni al Forno – a dish I actually love. However, what was served to me was barely recognizable: carelessly presented, completely overcooked, bland, and tastefully atrocious. After a few bites, it was clear to me: I couldn't and wouldn't eat that. But that was far from the low point of the evening. While we were trying to eat in peace, the owner suddenly started handing out microphones to the guests. What followed was a bizarre mix of karaoke night and a bar atmosphere – only much louder. Visibly intoxicated guests tried to sing along to Italian songs, and instead of intervening, the owner and his waiter joined in with even louder, completely off-key singing. The noise level was unbearable, and there was no trace of a relaxed atmosphere. The whole thing felt more like a fairground stall than an Italian restaurant. Any attempt to enjoy the food was thwarted by shouting, noise, and second-hand embarrassment. But what bothered me most was the indifference toward the guests: While my plate – which was almost untouched – was being cleared, the proprietor himself was standing at the table. Not a single word. Not a single "Did you enjoy your meal?" or "Was everything okay?" Nothing. That says it all for me. I have rarely left a restaurant so disappointed and shaking my head. One thing is clear to me: I will never set foot in this "restaurant" again – and I can't in good conscience recommend it to anyone.

So today, Fabio and his team outdid themselves once again...the terrace was rocking 🎤 the entire audience was in karaoke fever 😅 Fabio the singing Italian 🇮🇹 😂 Regardless, the grilled tuna 🐟 and the combination were an Italian delight 🫶🏼 We'd be happy to come back anytime 😍

Pure Italian lifestyle! At L'Italiano, everything is just right: very, very good food in a stylish and cozy atmosphere. The owner is attentive, friendly, and always has great recommendations – you can tell there's real passion behind it. Especially nice in summer: the beer garden, which invites you to linger and makes the whole experience even more relaxing. It's simply fun to eat here. You feel welcome, comfortable, and well looked after. For us: always worth a visit!

Ligger längs huvudgatan o h man kliver in i en lugn innergård. Jättegod pizza. Jättegod pasta Trevlig vänlig personal. Värd en omväg från Autobahn

Best Italian restaurant for miles around! Food and prices are top-notch! Fabio creates a great atmosphere

Great food and very friendly service. Helpful.

I went here last weekend with my GF and my child and we had a fantastic time. The staff were friendly, joyful, and attentive and the food even impressed my Italian GF, who has normally been disappointed too often by other Italian restaurants in our area up until now. 😅 This will be our only choice for an Italian restaurant for the foreseeable future and we look forward to our next visit. 🙂

Very friendly staff, delicious food, and always a great atmosphere where you feel completely at home. The food is fresh, served quickly, and the portions are more than generous. For me, the best pizza in the entire area ✨ Absolutely worth it, highly recommended✨

It was incredibly annoying. First, an ashtray at the next table was smoking without anyone coming to take it away. Then, you get dirty wine glasses. And the meat dishes are tough. The waitresses wander around listlessly. We won't be coming back. You don't get good quality for the money. What a shame.

The four of us spontaneously stopped by for dinner and didn't regret it. The pizzas and desserts were incredibly delicious. The Italian atmosphere was 100%.

Excellent pizza pasta, I will definitely return.

One of the worst pizzas I've ever eaten. Anyone who says the pizza here is so good has no idea about pizza.

We had to spontaneously find a restaurant because our reservation was canceled, and we ended up here. It was absolutely delicious: great pizza, pasta, and appetizers. But this place thrives on the service, which was so wonderfully Italian and extremely attentive. Was it because they were getting in the mood for the Champions League final? We think that's the soul of this place. Thank you, you saved our evening.

Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is not right at all! We ordered the mixed starter plate for €18.90. For such a hefty price, I expected a generous selection, and then came the shock... A small plate with really very little choice. The taste was great, but very little!!!!!! I expected more from the food in general. They skimp on ingredients, and instead of strips of beef, it's ordinary diced goulash with tendons! A no-go! The taste, for us, was "edible," but there are definitely better options! Top-notch service, the chef was a flop.

Thanks for the great food, I'd love to come back! 🙂

Great food! Great host, great atmosphere. We come from Nuremberg and were there for the first time. It would definitely be our favorite place if we were from the area!

Our regular Italian for many years, Fabio and team are the best 👌

I was just here and would love to come back. Waiters are super nice and fast, pizza is a dream, big but crispy and thin base. Had a special pizza with salsicia, mozzarella di buffala, and eggplant cream, but the latter wasn't quite my taste, but the rest was great.. my friend's pizza quattro stagione was a poem, true to the original, everything was delicious. Also the tiramisu. The beer garden would have been nice, but it started to rain.

Great atmosphere, tasted very good and charming boss

Simply perfect pizza and great service! If you happen to be in the area and want to eat authentic pizza, go there!

It was the perfect evening at the perfect Italian restaurant. The staff was relaxed, courteous and put you in a good mood. Even though we arrived after the hot meal time, we still got pizza and dessert. And it tasted excellent.

Great pizzeria with Italian charm. The food was good and you were well looked after. I can definitely recommend it.

We stumbled upon this fantastic Italian restaurant quite spontaneously and by chance. The ambiance exudes Italian vibes, as does the staff. Both the salad and the pizza were fantastic! A unique taste experience! Highly recommended! We'll be back! If you want to enjoy a little slice of vacation, this is the place for you!

Very tasty pizza and great service. Minimal deduction as it is loud when full. But the fact that the restaurant is well attended speaks for the quality. :)

Great service and delicious food. The pizza dough is thin with a thick, airy edge. Also with a good topping. Will visit again.

It was very, very tasty...we celebrated our birthday there and I can only recommend it to everyone. Always my pleasure .

Very tasty food, the portion was quite small, we got another portion on the house. Very nice service, gladly again

The food was very tasty! You feel welcome here even with a small child 🤗 We would be happy to come back.

We were there for the first time and were pleasantly surprised. The food was really delicious and not too expensive either. The service was also very good and friendly. We would definitely recommend the restaurant, thank you for the lovely evening!

Best pizzeria in the Rhein Neckar district 👌🏼 Super nice staff. Price performance top 👍🏼 We are now regulars Keep it up!

The food was very tasty and the service was also great. The young man deserves special mention, as he puts everyone in a good mood with his friendly manner. The atmosphere is also very inviting and cozy. I can only recommend it.

Very friendly and warm staff. Delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. Value for money is good.

Fantastic🌟As an Italian abroad, I can say it’s super authentic and would 100% recommend it- we enjoyed a wonderful team dinner here and nicknamed the owner “Fabulous Fabio” - very fun and kind service paired with great food - search no further in St. Leon!

Truly the best pizza around. The pasta looked great too! The service is super friendly and a place to feel good. 🫶

Even though it was late and the kitchen was actually closed, as a large group we still got some really tasty pizza. Mille Grazie :-)

Really very nice and courteous staff, especially to our daughter. There was a small mini-portion of pasta on the house and she was simply provided with painting supplies without us explicitly asking for them. The pizza was delicious and the rest of the service was great too. We were on vacation in St. Leon-Rot and can definitely recommend this Italian! There is one star deduction for service simply because you can no longer pay with a Visa or Maestro card. Only EC card or cash payment is possible.

Great food, friendly and attentive service, lively atmosphere.

I absolutely love this wonderful Italian restaurant! The service was not only attentive, but also incredibly warm and personal. The highlight of my visit was that the kitchen created a new shrimp dish for me - something that wasn't even on the menu! The combination of fresh ingredients, authentic flavors and loving preparation was simply extraordinary. It's rare to feel so valued as a guest. For me, this restaurant is the epitome of hospitality and culinary creativity. I can highly recommend it to everyone and am already looking forward to my next visit!

What a pleasure it was to discover the food here and to meet Fabio, the charismatic and passionate owner. This is a must visit place for REAL italian food. Ciao!

Great food and perfect service!

We went to an event last night and then stopped at the Pizzeria L'Italiano. We had reserved a table in advance via the website, which was promptly confirmed. Praise for the quick processing. When we arrived at the pizzeria, we were greeted by an authentic Italian restaurateur who quickly took our order. We ordered two pizzas that were super tasty with very good toppings and crispy edges. We were completely satisfied and would love to come back!

The service was great, super friendly, especially with the children. Pizza and lasagna authentically Italian, salad fresh and delicious dressing. We were thrilled from start to finish. There was something for the kids to paint and a little Halloween surprise. Great!

I myself am also Sicilian, for me this evening is a piece of home. The food was really tasty, we ate pizza and we can only recommend it.

Super nice. Delicious food would be happy again

very well attended, recommended because of the very nice and attentive innkeeper and waitresses, portions are not very large, pizza with a lot of unfilled crust, dessert is terrific, limoncello or ramazotti is on the house

Super tasty pizza. The starter was also great. The service authentic and nice. It's a shame it rained. The beer garden is really inviting. We'd love to come back.

Delicious food...service also great

Very tasty pizza, highly recommended!

Excellent food, I love this quality and this way of life, highly recommended

Great food, recommendation salmon pasta or pizza! Great service!

From the food, to the service and the staff, everything is top!

Friendly, funny host and an outstanding pizza, calzone also highly recommended

In my opinion the pizza could be much better if there were fewer toppings. It was just way too juicy and drippy, which is a real shame because the bread part (base and edge) is really great.

Incredible place to eat. Great service, like family and 100% food. I recommend stopping if you pass through the area. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you for the treatment. 11 out of 10 excellent.🍺❤️

Authentisch italienisches Essen in Perfektion. Rundum perfekte Vor-, Haupt und Nachspeise. Es war ein Freude. Verbesserungsvorschlag auf höchsten Niveau: Ein bisschen Frische zum Panna Cotta.

The staff makes a super friendly, nice impression and you are immediately shown to a table. The pizzas are super tasty and prepared with a lot of love. The beautiful outdoor area and the Italian music offer a wonderful evening, like on a vacation in Italy.

Very good food, absolutely recommended.

First time and very adorable food also good. Gladly again soon.

Very nice restaurant with excellent cuisine

Very friendly, attentive service, the food was very tasty and they also responded to requests

Wie immer wurden wir herzlich ❤️ & bei diesem schönen Wetter 🌞 , auf der wunderschönen Terrasse empfangen. Wir haben köstlich gespeist 🍕 & wie ihr sehen könnt sogar die kleinsten Gäste. 😉

Delicious spaghetti frutti the Mare!

Stopped there for dinner on a long road trip from Frankfurt airport. The food was fabulous and the service was great. They appreciated that we still had a fair way to go, so service was quick and very attentive,too. I would become a regular if I lived there

Wir waren mit einer großen Gruppe (Triathleten) zu Gast hier (Freitag) und waren direkt schwer begeistert, erstmal war das Personal absolut mega freundlich und lieb. Das Essen war absolut perfekt und für jeden was dabei, ohne Wartezeit und zu fairen Preisen. Trotz hohem aufkommen, was absolut verständlich war, hat uns der "Chef " es uns ermöglicht das wir auch samstags wieder kommen durfen. Fünf ***** plus!!! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Everything is super delicious! Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere! Wine is also TOP!

Were here for the first time. Delicious pizza. Very nice to sit outside and relax. Definitely coming back.

Full marks for the delicious food (the pizza is absolutely amazing!), the casual and friendly interaction with the guests and the great beer garden. We'd love to come back!!!

Food, service and ambience great. Great pizza dough and of course a great pizza. Can just be recommended.

Great place. The pizza to put in is delicious. The pasta good. The service was super nice. We are looking forward to enjoying the summer in the beer garden with a delicious pizza.

Very tasty, nice atmosphere. Definitely make a reservation, it's worth it!

Aufenthalt aufgrund einer Geschäftsreise. Über TripAdvisor gefunden. Freundlicher und schneller Service, gute Location und sehr leckere Pizza!

Spent a great time in the restaurant. The food was highly recommended. We had dinner as a family. The children had great fun and we felt comfortable. Thank you very much, greetings from Marburg/Lahn

The best pizza and the best service I've ever had Grazie

Wonderful pizza ala chef and top service

very friendly staff Very good food Quite possibly one of the best Italians in the district Would love to come back

Ate in the beer garden today in great weather. Been here for the first time. The pizza of the month for April was awesome. Saltimbocca with sage and Parma ham was tender and tasted great, the vegetables were not enough to choose from (only zucchini and eggplant) and in quantity. Fabio, the boss is warm, authentic, super nice. We will be back. We already have reservations. Thanks to the whole team Christine & Robert

Our dinner in Trattoria Pizzeria L'Italiano was amazing. Nice and helpful owner, great atmosphere and delicious food. Everything was made with passion. My vegetarian pizza de luxe was delicious and lasagna was perfect. Thank you chef and see you soon :)

Great pizza al chef eaten here. A trattoria to feel good. Guaranteed again when I'm in the area.

Leckere Speisen, angenehmes Lokal, freundliche Bedienung, da kann man zufrieden sein. Ich denke man wird in der näheren Umgebung nur schwer ein gleichwertiges Lokal finden..

The scampi was fantastic. Great quality, good service. Thanks again to the team.

Fabio and his team are the best hosts you could wish for. Always attentive, unusual and very tasty dishes on the daily menu and the pizza is the best anyway - everything is great. We have already celebrated a birthday in the very comfortably furnished restaurant. It was a completely successful celebration thanks to the great L'Italiano team. 100% - our favorite place to eat.
