VAPIANO Dresden Petersburger Straße in Dresden

Too much of a quick resturant feeling for me now. Sometimes you look for a long time for free places. Increasingly, there are also many families with (many) children. This is of course not a problem, but if you like a quiet evening for two, you should take this into account.

Very tasty food and a good atmosphere

Unfortunately not our taste. Pasta very oily, chef at the serving point unfriendly, all 4 meals very expensive, pasta sometimes hard, 0.3 beer 4.50 euros. Very expensive for a self-service snack bar. Sorry...

Vapiano, never seen it before but pizza and pasta are always possible, so go in there. At reception you get a chip card with which you can then move freely through the self-service service. You choose something from the menu, there is a lunch deal until 3 p.m., where you get a meal including a non-alcoholic drink for €12.50. Order at the counter and then go to the bar if you want to drink something alcoholic. The service could still improve significantly, the offering is very good. The food alarm beeps and then you can pick it up freshly prepared. We were really excited! Decent portion, very tasty and when you think about the price, just great. I am thrilled and will definitely visit vapiano again.

Well, off-the-shelf Italian fast food. If you like long queues and sometimes unfriendly staff, this is the place for you.

Comfortably watch people pass by while you eat a delicious meal.

Toilets were better than the food. I enjoyed putting my sausage there three times while visiting a restaurant. 10/10

Unfortunately our pasta was completely covered in oil. After testing twice, the noodles were extremely full of oil both times. They are practically swimming in oil and for an overpriced price that is just as expensive as in other restaurants where you get table service. Absolutely no recommendation!

A specific restaurant. For those who do not know the language, it is difficult to figure out how to order a dish. But this is only the first time. It's interesting to see how the dish is prepared. Doesn't take much time. Everything is very tasty. Nice atmosphere. I would like to recommend putting toothpicks on the tables. A necessary attribute for a restaurant, in my opinion. And wiping the tables with degreaser makes it unpleasantly sticky.

For me, once a Vapiano per visit to Dresden

We absolutely loved this restaurant, but through the years it's slowing down, becoming less attractive. After our last visit, the portions are getting smaller, the staff is not happy, and the overall energy of the place is down. The food is still the same old good Vapiano, but the overall impression is that this place needs some reset.

Thanks to the poor service (the woman at the bar and checkout) who is extremely unfriendly, I definitely won't visit Vapiano again.

The food was hot and delicious. The service staff is always there.

Great food (except for pizza), disgusting service. Blondie reception guy, you definitely need to be trained better. Rude chefs, uncooperative staff. Worst Vapiano experience. Btw, there is a nice Greek restaurant right in the corner. You will never regret. A huge variety of food for a fair price.

Delicious food at increased prices

Good - but why none of the Dresden beers?

The food itself was OK. but it took forever. We stood in line for about 20 minutes then waited another 15 minutes for a pizza. For a salad, a children's pizza and a simple salami pizza, I paid €44. Sorry but we won't come back.

We were satisfied price was even lower than I thought

You have to get food and drink from two different corners... and get everything yourself. The food tastes like ready-made food from a can/frosted or Maggi Fix... and for the fact that you make everything yourself, you ask for a tip straight away.... 😡 And the restaurant is NOT barrier-free... impossible these days...

We visited Vapiano 3 times as a family in 3 days of Dresden sightseeing. We found it pleasant, not much going on, relaxed staff. Eating out as a family every time for less than €30 is also worth mentioning; now even a burger costs €15. Here the child gets something to drink and a meal for €6. Clean toilets and card payments that are accepted round off the overall experience 😅 Fits. Thank you Vapiano.

Here you can also order almost all dishes gluten-free

I'm here every time I'm in Dresden.

Our visit was only marred by the meal… The principle is great... Great reception and greeting right at the door. you can watch how your food is prepared. Simply great.. However, the food was tasteless, the noodles were too al dente (everyone as they like it), the cook was unconcentrated... of course leave over 3/4 of the food. The waitress responded immediately, and the manager responded and tried to look for a solution… That's why we'll give it another chance next time we visit Dresden...

Terrible service, unprepared staff, don't speak English, don't serve, don't know how to explain how the restaurant works, rude, bad-tempered servers. We had to get up and leave without dinner. I definitely don't recommend it! Horrible !

I am an absolute fan of Italian cuisine. When I travel and don't know what to choose, I always look for Vapiano. The food is amazing and you can actually choose what type of pasta and sauce you want. There is enough choice and the price-performance ratio is the best.

Feel free to go here! The food is very tasty and is prepared super quickly. The iced tea varieties are also highly recommended. :)

We had dinner last night and I had to go to the toilet and what can I say, it was a mess. Everything was wet. It didn't work for big business at all. Then they were told that no one could take care of it because of a lack of staff. That doesn't work at all.

Service was unfriendly and communication was also difficult. Burnt chicken and dishes way too expensive. Noodles had to be paid extra. Very rude.

If you could give 0 stars for the service, I would. I don't know if it's because this is Saxony, but the staff is as unfriendly as anything else. I've never experienced anything like this. The food wasn't particularly great either, but in my opinion it was overpriced. I can't remember ever having a worse experience at a restaurant.

I won't go to Vapiano again. The noodles were hard and had a bad aftertaste. The Bolognese didn't taste like anything 🤷 it's just a mass production somewhere. Otherwise, the staff was quite nice and the ambience of Vapiano is unchanged.

I had an unpleasant experience with this restaurant. At first the waiter told us that we could drink for free, but then it turned out that we had to pay a large euro. it was the same with the "menu" this menu absolutely did not correspond to what the menu means and I do not recommend the mini salad for €11

They promise a free drink and then charge a horrible euro

SCAMMERS!!!! the guy said that we get drink for free and then when we had to pay, we had to pay for the drink too. its also so expensive! a small salad for 10-12 euros?? bro what is happening in the kitchen... do not come there

Web ate pizza and salad for dinner. Everything was very tastefull.

This Vapiano is still old-style, which means you can order directly at the kitchen counter and watch the staff prepare the food. We have been coming here for many years when visiting DD. The staff is always friendly and tries to make the guests' stay pleasant. Unfortunately, as with all Vapianos, the price-performance ratio has declined significantly over the years. This also means that it is no problem finding a place here even on a Saturday evening. The biggest drawback is the hygiene in the toilet. There is simply too little cleaning here and unfortunately there are many guests who simply cannot behave.

Very friendly and accommodating staff.

Sometimes it depends on the chef how good the food turns out, but generally it is very good

The self-service is super confusing but the food is really tasty.

Very unpleasant staff and bad food.

A different dining experience. I was welcomed and handed a card for the process of choosing my food and paying As I decided on pasta I was then given a choice of types of pasta then complementary ingredients and toppings. After observing my meal being prepared my card was processed and I went on to choose a drink, processing my card again. I then selected a table and was able to enjoy my meal. Staff came to clear my plate and were happy to collect further drinks, as necessary. Payment was made on exit using the card as my bill. VAPIANO is situated on the plaza of Petersburger Straße, creating a relaxed atmosphere close by numerous hotels and less than a thirty minute walk from the River Elbe.

It was a terrible experience! Yesterday, July 24, 2024, we specially stopped by this restaurant chain to eat. I ordered a salad with shrimp and beef. The beef was very overcooked. The cherry tomato alone was rotten. But the worst thing is the manager at the entrance. He's a thief. We had an account of more than 46 euros. We gave 50 euros in cash. But he forgot to give us 5 euros of change. I didn't give me a check. I insisted on giving a check and he returned 5 euros. The mood was completely spoiled. My son took pasta with beef and shrimps, he wasn't overcooked and he liked it.

We ordered a pinza. Unfortunately the dough was like crispbread. Extremely thin and very hard. Cutting with a knife was hardly possible. I've never eaten anything so bad.

Fresh and super tasty! Staff is very friendly.

We didn't know where to go when we came in because we didn't know the concept. The food was ok, the cooks were very friendly and the iced tea was really tasty. But the whole thing wasn't really our thing.

We were there during our vacation. Super nice staff!!! Our kids got something to paint with, the lillet tasted delicious, but I tried the children's spsgetti and didn't like it. The restaurant itself was cozy

Asked for no mushrooms in my pasta multiple times and it was half mushrooms

I have to honestly admit. Actually, there are hardly any negative reviews from me. But this is really really sad! I now pay €16 for a Caesar salad in Vapiano (you have to pay extra for chicken, even though that's actually part of it). This salad consists of a few lettuce leaves, 4 pieces of chicken, a few croutons and a sauce. Ok, more parmesan. But not even a tomato or various other suitable vegetables or similar. I find it almost outrageous. In my opinion, incredibly overpriced and therefore in my opinion the price is really NOT justified!

We loved eating the pasta there that they make on the spot. Very nice place and good price

Sorry, but this form is more of a canteen for everyone than a restaurant. Service 0 Food 0 because they couldn't manage to bake a pizza and hand it over to the guest

Konzept nicht unseren Fall. Personal nett aber bestellen am Eingang und sich alles selbst im Restaurant nach draussen holen. Nein , nicht wieder. Die Spaghetti kurz mal im Wasser gewesen, kaum Gewürz. Da schmeckt es zuhause besser. Leider erster und letzter Besuch

THE noodles were delicious and the tiramisu was great...I thought the atmosphere was really nice. The child was also happy because he received a picture and pens to color

Very friendly and delicious. Cozy atmosphere.

Poorest food I have ever experienced in my entire life ! I think even the staff where avoiding asking if everything was ok .... needless to say...won't be back ! Trip to the dentist required afterwards ...inedible

The restaurant has been around for a long time, as has the furnishings, and there are slight signs of wear on the tables and seats. The staff tries hard, but some of them don't speak any or very little German. This resulted in 2 people ordering a pizza each, but only getting 1 pizza together, so waiting again for the 2nd pizza... For the drinks, the beer was poured just below the calibration mark. The homemade raspberry lemonade consisted of half a glass of ice cubes, raspberry syrup, mineral water and frozen blackberries, unfortunately there were no raspberries. The blackberries had freezer burn. Conclusion, it was ok, nothing more and quite expensive, so it's better to go to the real Italian restaurant.

I think the most attractive thing is that you can see the cooking process right in front of your eyes. I had Chicken Maci Picante and it suited my taste well and was delicious. Pasta that comes out like fast food is great!!

Good lunch offer with a drink. The food is freshly prepared and was good.

I have no idea what the concept is supposed to be. Okay, you can get food quickly. But that has nothing to do with Italian dishes. A kind of ready-made mix poured onto pasta for €15. Maybe I don't understand the concept...

Food was good, staff was okay. Not particularly friendly, but ok. They serve gluten-free food 🤝

Food was okay up until that point While I was ordering something again, my Zippo and my cigarettes went and, amazingly, half a bottle of cola was stolen! Great place!! The staff said they didn't know anything, which came across as completely unbelievable! The manager dismissed it as a triviality! But I can't prove it and unfortunately the police called in couldn't do anything! It's a shame, a really bad impression of the place and such an arrogant manager! Recommendation 0%

disgusting service, terrible attitude towards foreigners, the atmosphere is not comfortable and cozy

The service is terrible, the staff laughs in your face if a foreigner misunderstands how to place an order. Especially when I was already sitting at the table and eating on the veranda, I saw how the staff talked to each other and looked at me and just started laughing in my face, naturally I no longer felt comfortable and I wanted to leave as quickly as possible. I recommend going to another normal one an establishment that treats guests well)

Uncultured staff, if you are a foreigner, don’t even think about coming here, they will mock you if you don’t know how to order and pay for food from them correctly, and this process here is quite complicated for a person who comes from another country and doesn’t know the language

We enjoyed the food. That is positive. Otherwise, the guest is used to take on the task of a waiter, namely ordering the food themselves, waiting for it and bringing it to the table along with cutlery. The same applies to drinks. This task is made palatable by the fact that after ordering the food, the guest can watch it being prepared live in front of his eyes in the kitchen - when it is his turn, because other guests have exactly the same plans. And so it often takes 15 or even 20 minutes until you can take the expected food with you. And if you don't just order for yourself, but maybe have to take another meal with you for your companion who doesn't walk well and therefore waits at the table, that doesn't make it any better. By the way, you get a beeper and can sit back at the table while you wait. But if you're sitting on the other side of the restaurant 20 meters away and you're waiting for another meal and would like to start eating together and at the same time, then it's all too much hassle - especially because you're a guest really pays quite a bit for the restaurant to save on service.

I had a perfect business lunch. Prompt and friendly staff

Many thanks to the entire team of the evening. And especially to those who don't forget Filetto di manzo e rucola 😉 this should definitely find a place on the menu again. We thank you and will definitely come back.

I ordered a Piccolo Pinsa Diavolo for 8 euros. I was charged over 15 euros because I had a whole pinsa (and therefore probably no piccolo). Firstly, I didn't want to spend that much money and secondly, it wasn't worth that price.

A great Vapiano right on the Dresden shopping street. All the typical Vapiano dishes are prepared very quickly and deliciously. Special requests are also no problem. The service is excellent and I would also say it was very clean and tidy.

Delicious food, the outdoor area invites you to linger and the location is barrier-free… Due to a physical disability, transporting the full tray was a challenge for me. The service staff offered me appropriate help in a warm and respectful manner.

It's a shame, spaghetti was... Unfortunately not recommended, especially given the selection in the surrounding area.

Excellent fast food for pasta lovers! Always worth a visit.

We were there for dinner with a small group during the week. The reception was friendly. The service staff was always very courteous and helpful. The interior was attractively decorated. The choice of food is large. The food was ready quite quickly but at very different times due to the self-service concept. You should keep that in mind... The portion size was for a good appetite. I found the price to be ok for a city center.

3 of us (7 people in total) had digestive problems afterwards.

The pizza is of poor quality, tastes like it's frozen from a cardboard box, and looks like it was made in a factory somewhere for quantity, not quality.

Excellent place to eat, a pleasant atmosphere and exquisite food 😋

Food as always very tasty, tables outside not clean

I love noodles! Visiting VAPIANO in front of the Semperoper... can also be done in a dress. :-) The taste is really very good and fresh! Any special requests will be addressed and processed in a friendly manner. You have to embrace the concept of self-service. (That's why service only three stars, since there's hardly any available.) However, you should work on the cleanliness of the floor.

The food was tasty, but the portions could have been slightly larger

Always happy, very tasty and good value for money

Hours later, the food is still like a stone in our stomachs. All three of us didn't eat the pasta. The sauces were quite ok. Unfortunately, the concept of self-service has the character of a canteen and was not well received by us.

I could have burned my money better! Visually beautifully done. But the food was a failure, for almost 17 euros I expected more than a carelessly thrown together meal. It just had zero flavor, the pasta had only seen hot water for maybe a second at most, and the few crumbs of salmon weren't worth it either. My friend had a pizza that easily took half an hour even though there wasn't much going on. But the motivation was also visible when preparing the pizza, thanks to the open kitchen. So we were really very disappointed. Any ready-made package from the supermarket would have tasted better than the food!!

Optisch schön gemacht. Aber das Essen war ein Reinfall, für fast 17,- habe ich mehr erwartet als ein lieblos zusammen geschmissenes Essen. Es hatte einfach null Geschmack, die Nudeln haben höchstens vielleicht eine Sekunde heißes Wasser gesehen, und die paar Krümel Lachs waren es auch nicht wert. Mein Freund hatte eine Pizza die locker eine halbe Stunde gedauert hat obwohl nichtmal viel los war. Aber die Motivation war auch sichtbar bei der Zubereitung der Pizza, dank der offenen Küche. Also wir waren wirklich sehr enttäuscht. Jede fertig Packung aus dem Supermarkt hätte besser geschmeckt als das Essen!!

Good food. Good service. Good place!😊

We had dinner on a Saturday evening at rush hour, meaning it was very crowded. You get a card where you order everything on it and then pay at the end at the exit. Self-service with the beeper principle. Tables with bar stools are fine, but there are also other seats on the right side. Order was great and friendly staff too. Maybe we'll come back on a quieter day! :)

Absolutely not my cup of tea, portions too small, I had spaghetti caprese, two mozzarella balls, no basil but pine nuts and a lot of oil, my daughter had pinsa, that was really a small piece, nothing to fill you up...

Even when I ordered it was a horror, supposedly there was no Pinsa, but before and after I ordered the guests got Pinsa... Unfortunately pizza was totally burnt and dry!

Vapiano. The same everywhere. Food tasty, but too expensive for self-service. Portions too small.

I hate the concept, how can you feel so uncomfortable despite eating such good food?

Popped in for lunch, just in the new market square so handy for tourist attractions close by, lovely open fresh restaurant and nice atmosphere. Have to choose from menu, order off a screen, self collected food and drink and then pay at end, good selection of pasta, pizzas, deserts salads etc, all cooked fresh. Food was reasonably priced and tasty good quality and generous portion.

our salads were delicious, with very fresh ingredients and generous portions. Overall maybe a bit too expensive

I recently went to Vapiano again for many years. The atmosphere is still pleasant, the staff friendly. The food (pasta): the sauces are perfectly fine and taste good. The problem is the noodles. These are warmed in hot, not boiling, water. This means that they don't turn out al dente but taste like they have been soaked and doughy. That really spoiled my enjoyment. I hope, since this was my problem years ago, the heating process will be changed at some point and the pasta will be cooked in boiling water.

Yes you can eat here... but you shouldn't expect anything special

The food was pretty bad, too much garlic, pasta wasn't aldente but rather undercooked.

Any frozen pizza is better than this meal. Even in prison, people would rather fast than indulge in this “food.” My Margherita pizza was garnished with a(!!!) frozen tomato. thanks for nothing

I have to say that I went a few times again to Vapiano. I am still old fashioned and like to be served but this is the concept of Vapiano and I have to accept it. I have to admit that the service was much better. There is one manager / supervisor who was extremely helpful and professional. Perfect recommendations and really was professional and friendly. Because of this I will definitely go again and will start to recommend this place. Just cannot get used to this self service idea. You stand and wait at the bar and the bartender is missing. You wait for food at the counter due to self service but the staff is standing chatting because there is nothing to do. Plates and glasses are not cleared because staff does not have to give any service or upsell.

Very delicious different choices recommend the pasta there

Nice personel. Delicious food. Very tasty 😋

Despite the self-service, the service provided is really friendly and competent. The food is okay, nothing more, nothing less. Personally, I think it's a bit too expensive for what's on offer.

We think the new ordering principle (one counter to order, all others to pick up) is much better. Seems clearer. The food is top. The pinsas were the tastiest. The products were fresh.

I dined at this restaurant for a team meeting. The staff was friendly and helpful. Upon arrival, each guest receives a card on which the food and drink ordered is loaded and payment is then made at the exit. The taste of the food was okay, but the portions were relatively small.

Always fresh pizza and pasta at reasonable prices. Always very well attended.
