Trattoria San Benno in München

I was here once for dinner and had a great time with good food and nice service. That one would've been a 4 star visit. However I also went for lunch today and had a much worse experience. I ordered a more expensive dish but jo drink. Food was too salty, waiter was very hectic and did not bring the bread and olive oil (maybe cause I didn't get a drink?) and at the end I did not feel I need to give any tip so i just waited for my change. He didn't have 2.20 so he gave me 2.50 and said that 30 cents are Trinkgeld from him. This was a 2 star visit, as for the nice terrace.

The food is always delicious and the service is very friendly. When the weather's nice, you can also sit on the terrace.

Friendly service and a nice outdoor seating area. I was hoping the mozzarella on the Pizza Italia would be baked in the oven, but there was a whole cold cheese ball placed on top.

An all-around excellent Italian restaurant with friendly and prompt service, a wide variety of dishes, and a rather modern interior. Highly recommended!

Great venue with lovely food, would visit again if I’m in the city.

The most delicious and incredible appetizer, pizza and Tiramisu I’ve had ever eat. And the price? Fair enough!

Very nice and stylish restaurant, very friendly and attentive service, very delicious pizza!

Great pizzeria, nice decor! Super pizzas

The food was good, the service was attentive. The dessert was truly delicious.

We ate pizza at this restaurant yesterday. The service was very friendly and made a real effort to ensure our customers had a pleasant experience. The wood-fired pizza tasted excellent; I felt like I was in Italy. The pizza had a super tasty crust and was very well-topping. We also had sole with wild garlic risotto. This was, of course, the highlight of our dinner table. I always enjoy coming back to this pizzeria.

Traditional style Italian restaurant with delicious food, a huge menu, and good service.

Was recommended to us by the hotel staff. A great, “real” Italian! Good food, especially worth mentioning, there are gluten free pizzas and occasionally pasta too. Pleasant location, spacious and cozy outdoor area when the weather is nice. Service was friendly and accommodating.

Great Italian restaurant with delicious pasta and pizza and employees who really enjoy their work

Very good Italian. Super friendly service and excellent food. Plus it's inexpensive. Absolute recommendation.

A great restaurant! The dishes are very tasty and taste great! The service was also great, the waiters were all very nice and accommodating - we'll definitely be back! Absolutely recommended!

We were there with a JGA and the service was an issue right from the start: the two of us had to look at a menu, even though the restaurant was relatively empty. The drinks took almost half an hour. But these were good! The food didn't come together. 4 of us ordered pizza which came when everyone had already eaten. One was forgotten! After that we were ignored. After more than an hour of ignorance, I went and asked if they had stopped the service? Then another waiter came and apologized and offered us a shot. We were then allowed to pay for it (surprise!). After that we were ignored again. When we pointed this out again while paying, we started to argue and then we just left it alone. So anyone hoping for an evening with great service will be disappointed. Too bad

Very pleasant, quiet Italian restaurant with very good food and very friendly service. We felt extremely comfortable. Unlike in many restaurants these days, the acoustics were good and you could easily communicate across the entire table at normal volume, even in larger groups. Gladly again.

I actually really like the restaurant and always go there for lunch because it's close to my work, but unfortunately I always have bad experiences with the service. Again this lunchtime (April 22, 2025): the fat waiter who served outside was extremely rude just because I asked about the small sauces after the food was delivered. They never come by themselves, you just have to actively ask for them every time. I did this in a very friendly manner (I didn't have any bad intentions at all and didn't want to make any accusations) and in turn I was shouted at because I didn't wait 10 minutes to ask the question until the food was cold and the sauces were no longer of any use. I won't be coming again for the time being and strongly recommend that the team undergo training on friendliness in the hospitality industry.

If you're hungry you shouldn't order here

Price performance is an absolute disgrace. Lunch menu! 3 thin slices of meat, 1 of it tough, with a side of cauliflower and potatoes. 1 single small potato. Even the salad was more than the hot meal. Dorade 2 small fillets, no lemon.

There were two of us in the evening, nice atmosphere, attentive waiters. The baby turbot was cut up at the table, a bit of sauce, and just bread, 33.00. Furthermore, a Spinach Gorgonzola pizza, tasted good, only the pizza knife was as blurry as a 90-year-old without teeth. Had to tear the pizza apart to eat it, 15.00.

For a long time, this was my favorite Italian restaurant in Munich; the pizza, in particular, was excellent. The quality of the pizza has declined significantly recently. If you're lucky, you find a good pizza maker, the pizza is excellent. It's a shame, I've always enjoyed going here.

Very loud and cramped, food expected to be solid.

I can highly recommend the pizza there! Service is also great, I would love to come back.

Great place to sit outside, and enjoy Italian food, pizza was great and perfect crispy. Staff is also fast and friendly.

A great restaurant! We were there as a JGA group (without informing in advance) and were given a very warm welcome. The service was not only attentive, but also incredibly humorous - we had a lot of fun! As a special surprise, the bride even received ice cream on the house. The food was outstanding and we were lucky enough to get seats on the terrace on this perfect day. The great weather rounded off the experience. Conclusion: An all-round successful evening with first-class food and a great team – absolutely recommended! 🎉🍽️

The atmosphere was nice and so was the interior, however it was quite noisy in the restaurant. The food was very good overall - the pizza tonno was delicious, baked in a real Italian oven, the pasta Marinara was tasty with a variety of seafood, and the risotto had good flavours but the rice that was very undercooked (almost crunchy). The desserts also left us satisfied. On a bad note, the staff wasn't very nice or welcoming. We were greeted poorly and our waiter was unpleasant and unenthusiastic while serving us. Otherwise we had a nice visit and the portions were a reasonable size.

Never had such a good pizza. Great.

Very good Italian outside of the overcrowded city center. Great ambience and perfect service with even better food.

Anyone who is in Munich, 100% recommended..excellent food, excellent service, Italian cuisine.

Friendly service. Pizza was very good from the wood fired oven. Normally priced for Munich.

Nice service in a nice atmosphere and excellent food

Super delicious! Very nice service!

Great atmosphere and delicious pizza

I regularly take clients here for dinner and have never been disappointed. The restaurant is always very busy. The calamari or the fish soup are highly recommended.

Delicious food and excellent service. The prices are fair, and the food is reasonably priced.

A really great Italian. Very tasty food and attentive, friendly service in a cozy atmosphere… what more could you want 😀

Super delicious! Very nice and attentive service!

Very friendly staff Very tasty dishes Best Massimo in the world

We actually just wanted to eat pizza, but then it turned into an opulent evening with fine food and exquisite wine. But it was a lot of fun and we would love to come back!

I discovered this Italian restaurant in summer and had a pleasant experience. The fish plate was very good. The pizza was decent, a typical classic. It’s a nice spot to sit outside, especially in the summer!

Good food and very good service

Very friendly and professional (without the intrusive Italian "charm" that is sold as authentic in Munich), great food at fair prices, beautiful furnishings without pretentious chic, as you often see in lower-quality Munich Italians.

very friendly & authentic service! Great atmosphere and, above all, delicious food! We spontaneously got a nice table for 5 people on Friday evening. Really big recommendation!! 🍕🍸(Image: Pizza Carpaccio)🤌🏻

Everything was great, as always 😊

Awesome atmosphere, excellent quality/price for the food. Nothing to complain about, overall the best restaurant we've visited in Munich.

Super nice, funny waiter. Really great here. The decoration is also very nice

I had lunch there with my friend and loved it. The restaurant exudes a warm and stylish atmosphere that invites you to linger. The dishes were not only delicious, but also reasonably priced for a city as expensive as Munich. The service was first class, attentive and fulfilled all my wishes with a smile. I can highly recommend this restaurant!

Very good attention. Excellent food....

Seeing the positive reviews, we decided to have dinner there one day before New Year’s Eve. Unfortunately, the food was tasteless and bland, and the service was pathetic. There were two waiters, and it was clear they disliked their job—at least that’s how it appeared to us. It felt like they were being forced to work. We will not be returning to this restaurant.

We were nearby and wanted to reserve online using Maps, unfortunately there was nothing left available. We then called there and were able to reserve a table for 4 people. So we went there. The entrance area is a bit narrow, but after a short time we were shown to our table. The restaurant was well filled and there were always guests waiting for free tables. The waiters were all very friendly and the cards were needed. There are starters, soups, main courses, desserts, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, beers, pilsners, wines, coffee specialties and spirits. The drinks are needed quickly. The food is brought promptly and served hot. The portions are appropriate, as is the price-performance ratio. The food tastes very good. Even though the restaurant was full, it wasn't noisy, which is very pleasant. The atmosphere is appropriate, we felt very comfortable. The entrance is almost barrier-free with two small steps, and wheelchairs and strollers can also easily enter the restaurant. Reservation is recommended.

My wife, adult son and I ate here twice during a weeklong visit. Our waiter Manuel was welcoming and informative. The food was excellent both times. If we lived near by we would certainly eat here often.

Delicious food, nice Italian atmosphere!

good food and friendly service, the pleasant thing is that the place is cozy and not noisy

Nice service and nice ambience, a bit noisy at peak times if you sit in the middle, pasta is good but quite small, great daily menu.

Service was impeccable, the food came very quickly and was very tasty. Atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant and you feel welcome! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We are now regular guests at the restaurant. The dishes consist of high-quality ingredients, even the “little things” such as unblackened olives. Everything is freshly cooked. The service is very friendly and excellent. The service manager Massimo welcomes us personally and has a highly motivated team. Everyone is very friendly with each other. Of course, this is also passed on to the guest and we really enjoy eating there, usually as a group of four. Our favorite dishes are various pizzas. Have also tried other main courses - also excellent. The side salad as a starter is always crisp and fresh with a great dressing. The tiramisu as a dessert is also worth recommending. Keep it up!

Ambiance, food and service are excellent. The profit margin on the wine list is remarkable. I would replace the knives with sharper ones, but the Pinsa stone plates might suffer.

Five of us were there on Sunday lunchtime. Here is the best staff in Munich. Food was very tasty, atmosphere is great, restaurant looks very good. It was our first time at San Benno but definitely not the last time. Kind regards from Sendling

Very friendly staff, affordable good pizza. Love the place!

We were a group of 9 people and spent a lovely evening there. The food was great, whether it was pizza, pasta or dessert, everyone was happy. Price-performance is really more than fair. We'll be back.

There were four of us with two children. Atmosphere super relaxed, furnishings and details very chic, service relaxed, friendly and attentive, food delicious and prepared quickly. What more could you want?

Friendly and tactful staff, good food and reasonable portions (woman), the meat was grilled really well and the coffee was also enjoyable. What was particularly noticeable was the wide range of choices, including many vegetarian dishes and sessional cuisine

The waitresses were super friendly, always there right away and orders arrived very quickly despite the large group. The bruscetta was incredibly tasty, the penne Bolognese was a bit bland, but it was a matter of taste! Parking situation is very difficult

Four of us were there on Saturday evening. We really liked it, the dishes were good, as was the service and ambience. Gladly again.

Unfortunately quite crowded and loud

mediocre pseudo-Italian with mediocre service

The atmosphere is very nice, but the prices and portions are a bit disproportionate. The food is good but not exceptional.

Great evening spent. Food excellent and service very funny. Keep it up!

This is my go-to place for dining anywhere in this area, it's simply great every time. I like their pizza very much, their special weekly items and their deserts. I like that the drinks are served properly and their large selection of wines also. Also, I have to admit that it's definitely a fair value when it comes to the prices. The atmosphere is very nice, the terrace has a warm and welcoming ambiance in the summer, while the interior is tastefully designed and quite cozy during autumn/winter. Likewise, the service is good too. The waiters are generally more friendly than you'd expect in Munich and they do their job well. Since I live close by, I'm very glad this place exists. It's somehow both excellent and unpretentious, which I personally really appreciate.

I love the pizza in San Benno. It's not overpriced and really tasty. I order home very often, but even when I eat there, I am always extremely satisfied with the service. Great quality and a very pleasant atmosphere. Definitely recommended.

Fantastic Italian restaurant. Three off us had seafood and one had a pizza. I had a Primitvo wine and my friends had beer and wine with there meals. It was super good. I got a combo fish meal and everything was cooked perfect. Our waiter, Christian was very friendly and funny as well. I highly recommend this restaurant and him as your waiter. Super fun night for last night in Munich. My new go to restaurant when I visit Munich. Great food that doesn't break the bank. Menu is on the website.

Very nice and stylishly furnished restaurant. Food was very good, service was also top.

Good food, decent service, very nice atmosphere.

Due to a stay at the heart center (about 500 meters away on foot) we ate there. It was really delicious, very nice service, very attentive and accommodating. Both pizza and salads are really good. Price/performance is completely okay - we had expected a lot more on the bill. The various oils you get are particularly delicious - definitely try them! We will definitely eat there again during our stays in Munich.

A very nice and delicious restaurant. The only small drawback are the tables, which are unfortunately a bit small if there are only two of you there. All the delicious food and drinks barely fit on the table. Some ambience is lost

The pizzas are large, thin with crispy edges. Richly topped with fresh ingredients. The salad was also fresh and not ready-made. Everything tasted very excellent. That's why I treated myself to a dessert, which I'm happy to spend money on. Although the prices are reasonable and not excessive.

Been there for the first time. Ordered spaghetti carbonara (I thought not much could go wrong, it always tastes good)… Wrong thought. Unfortunately, the taste is a 0 out of 10. Unfortunately, the spaghetti didn't taste like anything, even when I added pepper. Very unfortunate. Otherwise nice shop and the service was good, but that's not the main reason you go to a restaurant..

Delicious and courteous service We enjoyed being guests here. As a larger group, we had a reserved area, although there was a major misunderstanding. The dishes are highly recommended. You can't make corkage money here. The service always had a good look! Thank you very much! Unfortunately, it is very loud in the restaurant when it is full.

The pizza base was really thin and the pizza was really tasty.

Just arriving is an experience; you are immediately noticed and warmly welcomed. Top quality, whether fish or meat. Nice ambience. Any time.

The food is delicious, the waiters are very friendly and funny and the atmosphere is very social.

Good location, great quality, service and staff. The food was also very good.

We ate very well and will definitely come back. The restaurant is very good. We also really liked the interior design. Definitely worth a visit!

It's very nice to sit here. The service is mixed, I had an unpleasant evening and a very nice one. The pizza isn't that great.

Good pasta and friendly staff! Loved the tiramisu too!

Fantastic food, cosy atmosphere and a lovely service from Mr. Zalla!

A lovely little find, Roberto was absolutely amazing and really looked after us whilst we were here. It is by far one of the best Carbonara’s I have ever eaten! Highly recommend and if I am back in Munich I will be sure to pay this little gem of a restaurant a visit. My friend had spaghetti bolognaise and said how very flavoursome it was. Thank you to all at the restaurant.

One of our absolute favorite restaurants! Not only is the pizza incredibly delicious, we always enjoy coming here. The service is always friendly and attentive, which makes the visit a pleasure every time. The restaurant is also beautifully decorated and the music is perfectly balanced - unobtrusive and just right for a private conversation. A place you should definitely visit!”

Good food but nothing out of this world. The place is nice and very quiet, very confortable. But service left a lot to be desired. Our waiter, Cristian, made jokes when I asked to be moved inside because of wasps (I’m allergic), saying “no, what to drink?” not once but two times until finally moving us inside the restaurant. When he came back to order food, he made another joke about wasps. And when he brought the food he didn’t even look us in the eye. Also he kept on talking in German when he knew we didn’t understand it (and he was able to speak English). After all he had the nerve to ask for a tip.

Nice Italian. Nice service. Unfortunately, I didn't think the pizza was that great. The soil without taste. Too little salt? Too bad.

I have never eaten such dry pasta in my life. The service is also miserable! Absolutely not recommended!

Good vibes, food was good, not great. The waiter was a bit pushy on the tips!

Excellent italian food - you can taste the fresh ingredients and the purity of the dishes! Loved their wine pairings too - Marino provided excellent service!

At lunchtime it's always really quick, fair prices and good food. Highly recommended for business dinners in the evening

First of all the staff are very helpful, the food was fresh and made to perfection, the price does not reflect the standard of food ! Normally I would expect to pay much more for such excellent service and food 👍 Compliments to all the team ❤️ thank you Really enjoyed my evening with you

Were here for the first time today as we are currently in Munich for an appointment. We were very satisfied with the ambience, service and food. Kelner was super friendly and joked. After ordering, the food came to the table within 10 minutes. We had pizza Napoli and Calaprese with mixed salad and 2 draft beers 0.5l. Everything was priced right and we had to pay a total of €42.50. The price is really reasonable for Munich. You don't feel rushed. We were also served various oils, e.g. Garlic, chilli and herb oil which was very tasty. If it weren't so far away from Hesse, I would definitely come here more often.

I had a very pleasant lunch here with my guests. The service was very flexible since we arrived early and very friendly. The terrace outside is very pleasant and cozy, the lunch menus are very reasonably priced, taste good and there is a wide selection - and of course also a la carte. I only found the starter salad not very Italian (carrots?) and a little too little dressing for my taste.

Pizza tastes delicious. I like it.

The food was mediocre but didn't taste good. The pizza was already cold when it was served. It was only sparsely topped and very dry, so that the dull knife didn't do any good. The other dishes weren't much better either. Maybe it was because they were lunch dishes? The menu price would be quite good if the food was ok, but the normal dishes had rather high prices. The waiters had the decidedly “know-it-all” manner of Italian waiters. You can like it, I don't like it.
