Vivaldi Trattoria in Bielefeld

A top address for really good food and drinks. Extremely friendly, fun staff. Perfect food. The location is beautifully decorated. The rush of visitors says it all. We'll be happy to come back on our next visit to Bielefeld!

The food is delicious and looks great. Only the seafood dishes are very spicy. Whether it's pizza or pasta, the staff is very friendly and accommodated nine of us even without a reservation.

Last year we had the Christmas party with the company there and the service was hopelessly overwhelmed... the food only came after 2 hours... we were there at 7:00 p.m. (it was changed once) and the dessert came at 11:00 p.m.... But everyone can have a bad day, so I went there again the day before yesterday with a date... Table reserved for 7:00 p.m.… we arrived at 6:51 p.m. and the lady said we were a little late? Their schedule said 6:30 p.m.! But then we got a nice table and were able to chat for a while... but after 20 minutes we had to move again because another couple was supposed to be at this table??? To this day I still don't understand why? Both tables were exactly identical! After about 60 minutes we were able to place our order and then simply ordered everything with our drinks, then the service staff wouldn't have to walk so much... While we were still eating our starter, our main course arrived... My food was good, but very little! A carrot, half a pepper, a slice of zucchini and a pickled mushroom were the side dish for almost 150g of salmon... €26 for that? Well… the vegetarian one I had with me was bland and bland… you could have done it at home too… For dessert there was a lava cake, which apparently wasn't made warm but was simply put on the plate... or it sat there until it was cold again... By the way, we never had a chance to reorder drinks! I had to order dessert at the counter! In summary: The kitchen can do something, but with vegetarian dishes you don't have to be afraid of spices! And if the portions were a bit larger, I would have been very happy! The service is friendly but absolutely overwhelmed and disorganized! One more service force would work wonders! No recommendation!

I've rarely experienced such poor service. We were there with a large group. The staff's overwork was passed on to the guests. It was very rude, and the food wasn't particularly good either.

We had made a reservation with a large group weeks ago and discussed it accordingly. Entered the restaurant at 8:15 p.m., finally at 11:30 p.m. after receiving the starter, only a few guests from our group had the main course... We left the restaurant without the main course and without dessert. Unfortunately, completely overwhelmed that evening. Too bad.

Totally unexpectedly blown away. Great service, very friendly and loving, very tasty dishes. At reasonable prices. Thank you!!!

Very good Italian restaurant. Pizza and especially pasta taste excellent. We can particularly recommend Fettucine Salmone. The service was very friendly and really interested in making the guests feel comfortable. We had a successful evening.

We were here two days in a row. Delicious food and great people. This is where your heart opens. We felt very comfortable. Thanks for the great time!

Super nice Italian, the traditional one I can't complain about anything, everything was fine for me 😀 Price performance suits me. The Vitello Tonnato was really great, nice and buttery. The Cabonara was, as it should be, without cream and very tasty. If you're not looking for a Germanized Italian, you've come to the right place. I will come back next time I visit Bielefeld

Nothing more is possible, I didn't expect to find such a great location in this city. Parking spaces in the parking garage can also be reached by SBahn. A great family business where dad, daughter, mother do a great job, super friendly, great tips if you don't know what you want, accommodating, no matter who is the guest, everyone is on their toes (here the guest is still a guest), the kitchen is simply outstanding and at completely moderate prices. I can warmly recommend it. Great, keep it up if I go to Bielefeld again I'll be there again.

A nice location with good food and friendly yet at times inattentive staff. The restaurant is located close to the central station and to the city centre. Atmosphere was nice and warm and the pizza, as well as the noodle dishes were great. We had a nice sharing platter for 3 which was enough for a small bite upfront for the 6 of us. The staff were chatty and friendly. However, they were a little inattentive at times. Only two of them served the whole restaurant but I tried multiple times to catch their attention without success. Still, they were really friendly! Can recomment for a nice Italian dinner in the area!

We found out about the Vivaldi via city4two. I have a request: people, go there! The restaurant is run by the family with love and heart. This is what you see, taste and “hear”! one in every phase. We will definitely go back.

A real treasure in Bielefeld. In addition to the warm atmosphere of the location itself, you are warmly welcomed by the family that runs it. The food tastes authentically Italian and the homemade tiramisu is simply heavenly! I'm looking forward to the following visits :)

Best staff ever.. I came in last minute and they were so happy to take my order..

The Trattoria Vivaldi is a real gem in Bielefeld! The food is simply excellent - authentic Italian cuisine prepared with fresh ingredients and a lot of love. The pasta and pizza are particularly delicious, but the fish and meat dishes are also impressive across the board. Another highlight is the friendly and attentive staff. You immediately feel welcome and are well looked after. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and inviting - perfect for a relaxed evening with friends or family. Overall, a clear recommendation for anyone who wants to enjoy excellent Italian food in Bielefeld. I'll definitely be back!

Vivaldi is associated with wonderful Italian music, but in Bielefeld you can also associate it with wonderful Italian food. I enjoyed it.

The food is perfect, the service is incredibly warm and absolutely genuine! The Italian-Portuguese-run family business warmly welcomes everyone and makes an honest effort to get to know all guests personally and, despite sometimes stressful evenings, to make time for everyone. We love going back again and again!

I became aware of it through the Bielefeld city for 2 card. I liked it very much

delicious food, tomato soup, lobster soup, pizza, veal schnitzel, espresso. Extra requests received without any problems. Very nice friendly service. Chairs/benches comfortable and with sufficient distance to the next table.

Very nice little restaurant. Quiet atmosphere and food really tasty. Whether it was pizza, meat or salad, everyone was very satisfied.

Das Restaurant ist spitzenmäßig!! Köstliches Essen und das Tiramisu geht einfach nicht besser!! Obwohl es gegen 18.00 sehr voll wurde, waren alle total freundlich. Absolut empfehlenswert!!!

We went to “Vivaldi Trattoria” today and had a very nice evening overall. The ambience was pleasant and inviting, even though the shop is rather small - but that's what makes it particularly charming. For starters we had a carpaccio which was average overall - not outstanding but not disappointing either. However, the main courses, pizza and pasta, completely convinced us: both were very good and we were thrilled. Overall, we were very satisfied with our visit and would come back at any time.

I stayed in the neighboring hotel as part of a business trip. The proximity was actually the initial reason for eating here. In the end it was the taste :-). The menu initially essentially corresponds to the usual better Italian dishes. So I had a Black Angus beef fillet with Gorgonzola sauce and rosemary potatoes. It was a great taste experience! The fillet was super tender, not streaky and had the finest taste. The Gorgonzola sauce was not, as is so often the case, just passed over the Gorgonzola, but was wonderfully intense. Plus fabulous potatoes. The tiramisu for dessert was the icing on the cake. The best Italian for me in a long time. Highly recommended!

Freundliche Servicekraft - extrem leckeres Essen - toller Abend. Unsere klare Empfehlung: Spaghetti Carbonara, ohne Sahne hergestellt. Und das Tiramisu!!

Very great service. Anna is a sweetheart. So thoughtful. The food itself was great. Only the “beef fillet” was dry and tough. Was more hip than fillet. But everything else was great. We're going there again. You don't have to order beef. The rest was just delicious

Very nice atmosphere with great service. The food was very tasty and really recommended. We ended up here by chance. But we'll definitely come back👍

Wir waren das erste Mal da und sind von Anna herzlich empfangen worden. Vorspeise war ne schöne Auswahl. Hauptspeise: scaloppine war Mega mit den penne knobi Nudeln. Ungewöhnlich aber voll lecker. Das grillgemüse sehr gut. Das einzige was nicht gut war war das filetto al pepe. Die pfeffersosse war klasse. Das Fleisch aber war zäh bzw. zu durch. Wir gehen definitiv wieder hin. Aber das filetto essen wir nicht mehr. Ist sehr schön zu sitzen, man fühlt sich wohl. Parken ist da eher das größte Problem. Fahrt bloß nicht im das Parkhaus im der kleinen Straße. Es gehört zum Hotel was da ist. Die wollten 25€ von uns. Aber wir haben nachgefragt warum und erfahren das es für Gäste sei. Ist nicht so klar ersichtlich. Aber sie hat uns so raus gelassen 🙏

Delicious Italian cuisine. A little hidden in the city center of Bielefeld and a little insider tip.

Dear Vivaldi team, we were with you on Saturday for the ❤️Recommendation of Space and Time Escaperoom and you exceeded all of our expectations. Great atmosphere, super friendly, very, very tasty! We would love to come back 😀 Thank you! Kind regards from Hille, VeRina bridal fashion team

We had a fantastic diner yesterday. Vitello tonnato, shrimps as a starter and 2x beef, one with Gorgonzola saus. All dishes were really great! And don't forget the Primitivo and the Limoncello, Bellissimo! Very friendly, very hardworking staff/owners! Maybe till next year!

Great service and incredibly delicious food 💋 we would love to come back 😊

Et ok hyggeligt sted hvor vi sent kom ind og skulle have en ret mad og en øl. Vi endte alle på pizza, som ved ankomst så lidt kedelige og pre-lqvet ud. Men de vandt på smagen og det var en helt hæderlig pizza om end at jeg er sikker på at det er prelavet bund som de bruger. Prismæssigt er det meget fornuftigt, og jeg vil sagtens kunne finde på at gå der ind igen.

A must for Italian dishes. Hospitable, quick, nice. Super! The best Frutti di Mare pizza I have ever eaten.

Nice restaurant, nice staff, nice atmosphere

I can only recommend this restaurant. Delicious food, beautiful, harmonious furnishings, great ambience and a very nice, warm atmosphere. I felt very comfortable.

Friendly service and good food. We'll definitely come back.

Never again. Awful experience. It took more than one hour to get any food. They told me at the beginning I had to wait for 15 min. But after one hour no food coming. And when I complained the waitress was terribly rude with me. I should have left honestly.

Wir sind an einem Freitag Abend spontan eingekehrt aber da es vor 18 Uhr war hatten wir doch Hoffnung noch einen Tisch zu bekommen da das Lokal auch nicht so groß ist! Wir wurden sofort sehr nett und freundlich begrüßt und wir bekamen einen schönen gemütlichen Tisch! Die Karte ließt sich sehr gut eine tolle Auswahl es ist dann eine Pizza geworden der Boden schön dünn und knusprig wie wir es mögen! Ich hatte die vegetarische Pizza mit Grillgemüse und bauernkäse geschmacklich gut auf der Karte stand Knoblauch davon habe ich jetzt nichts geschmeckt aber sonst sehr lecker! Mein Mann war auch begeistert er hat seine Thunfisch Pizza noch mit zusätzlich Paprika belegen lassen. Was wir für ein Restaurant nicht so schön fanden war die Werbung die ständig von Spotify kam!

Nice experience. Friendly and efficient service, nice menu to choose from, freshly made and tasty food, and an interesting wine list. Worth the visit.

Class...kitchen until 11 p.m. The pepper steak was perfect. Tiramisu is a dream. And now pay attention...the service is SUPER nice.

An absolute recommendation. Really great restaurant. It all fits together. Super delicious food, great service. A place to feel good. If I were from Bielefeld, it would definitely be my favorite Italian 😊

Super nice owner, great ambience, friendly and accommodating, great food, always happy

Super nice restaurant with super nice employees. Especially the Mica😁😘 Thank you very much for the lovely evening, we would love to come back

We were only in Bielefeld for 2 days, We went there for dinner both evenings. The staff is great, as is the food. You simply have to recommend this restaurant. Always my pleasure.

Delicious food. Friendly service. I loved the Lasagna

Nice restaurant, good food, great and courteous service

The food is almost good, the service is acceptable, the prices are ok. Unfortunately it is very loud at peak times, which doesn't create a feel-good atmosphere!

We are very disappointed with the poor quality of the ingredients. Excessive prices for frozen goods, the kitchen still has a lot to learn in terms of craftsmanship. The unskilled service doesn't make things any better here. Overall, a restaurant experience that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. We better save our money... Too expensive and not much on the plate... inflation has arrived here too... just not when paying the bill.... The waitress - mother and daughter - literally push themselves to get a tip...very rude and outrageous...whether a tip is given is up to the customer's discretion for good service and taste and is not a basic requirement! If you are looking for a low-quality restaurant - without professional staff - you have unfortunately come to the right place...

We had a wonderful evening here.

Das Essen war in Ordnung, aber die Chefin verhält sich total unmöglich. Sie ist laut, arrogant und einfach nur anstrengend. Ungeschickt, wenn man ausgerechnet beim Bezahlen so frech wird - kein Trinkgeld - definitiv keine Weiterempfehlung!

Fabulous meal and service. Don’t hesitate about trying this restaurant. Fresh, homemade and service with a smile! Thanks so much, we will be back next visit. Matt, Tracey, Wayne & Michelle. UK

Big praise to boss Anna and her team who provide great service in a very nice restaurant with a feel-good atmosphere, the food is really very tasty and you get a really nice, funny and warm welcome, even if you order pasta at 11 p.m It is conjured up with love in the kitchen. I can only recommend everyone to visit this restaurant, the price/performance is really good and it was an absolutely successful end to the day there. Keep it up 👍🏻

Restaurant with an interesting menu and a selection of quality wines, perfect for those who prefer few but all excellent labels. The fillet, here called "Roma steak", is certainly one of the highlights: tender and succulent, accompanied by crispy baked potatoes or a delicious mushroom sauce, it is a dish to absolutely try. The platter of mixed appetizers is also noteworthy, with a good variety of flavors that well represent the local cuisine. Overall, a great dining experience that I would recommend without hesitation!

Great restaurant, delicious food, great service!

Spiste alene. Overraskende godt, og jeg oplevede en personlig og imødekommende god betjening udover det sædvanlige. Autentisk italiensk, helt som det skal være. Budt velkommen af flink tjener. Vidste ikke helt hvad jeg skulle spise, og den søde kvindlige tjener anbefalede Saltimbocca, som var virkeligt godt lavet. Hver gang jeg havde kontakte med én af de to tjenere var det med smil og glæde, hurtig betjening og et smittende engagement og arbejdsglæde som der er alt for lidt af og ses alt for sjældent. Tak for en god aften på Vivaldi. Jeg kommer helt sikkert igen.

The staff made us feel like family! And the home made food was fantastic! We ate there twice because the food was delicious and the service was stellar!

Great food and service. The staff made us feel at home. Antipasto was large.

The best place for a wonderful dinner. A fantastic team.

A great place to go, especially for returning guests. The pasta and fish are amazing! I like to come back again and again and the employees notice that too. From the second visit you will be recognized and can look forward to delicious food and great service.

A great restaurant. Chic ambience, nice staff, family atmosphere and delicious food. The only downside is the location. But I can warmly recommend this restaurant

The food (pizza) was very tasty and perfectly done! The service was very friendly and quick while maintaining professional and hearty. The atmosphere, I'd say was good, but we only picked up a pizza order and ate elsewhere. From our experience a great restaurant that we'd definitely go to again!

A really great restaurant with real Italian flair. Super tasty and very nice staff. Thumbs up, we'll be back.

Sometimes you just find a restaurant that does everything right. The service was super friendly and attentive without being intrusive. And the food, wow, just delicious! The portions were generous and each dish was seasoned perfectly. You don't find restaurants like this every day. Thank you very much for that.

Spontaneous visit near the hotel to this wonderful little restaurant. Super friendly and warm service, one of the best pasta dishes (and I've eaten in many Italian restaurants) and a great ambience. My son - one of the very critical types when it comes to restaurants - is also happy. We recommend.

The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly and attentive! Always been happy with everything :)

Yesterday we were guests with 8 people and spent the whole evening there. The staff was very friendly and attentive and always up for a joke. The food was top class and freshly prepared by the chef. She is really a super-loving, kind-hearted woman who, with the help of her family, does everything to make her guests feel comfortable. Even with the “difficult” guests at the table next to us, everyone always remained friendly. I wouldn't have been able to do that. 😉 Respect! I'll definitely come back.

Unfortunately for me it was one of the worse Italian restaurants I've eaten at. The pasta had no taste and the salad consisted of 80% cheap iceberg lettuce, which, as the boss confirmed, comes straight out of the bag. You wouldn't have time to go to the market and buy fresh things... Drinks ordered were forgotten and only a few tables were occupied. To be fair, the salad was taken off the bill. But we weren't the only guests who complained.

Pizza & Pasta That's what you get and it tastes good. Price-performance is also good. The restaurant is very stylish, except for the tables, and the service is very attentive. There's some love missing from the menu and some peace behind the counter.

Wir waren 7 Personen und haben um ca. 21:00 Uhr Essen bestellt. Ca. 40 Min später kam die Vorspeise. Nach 2h die Hauptspeise. Aber nicht zusammen, sondern nacheinander und unvollständig, z. B. Steak kam und die dazugehörende Soße als das Steak kalt war. Die siebte Person bekam das Essen, als alle anderen schon fertig waren. Das Essen selbst war schnell zusammen geworfen worden und schmeckte nicht. Jeder italienischer Imbiss kann besser kochen. Man hatte uns schlichtweg vergessen. Aber anstatt sich zu entschuldigen und um Geduld zu bitten, hat man uns erklärt, dass wir selbst das Problem sind. Schließlich hatten wir ja schon eine Vorspeise bekommen und die Situation wurde als total normal dargestellt. Die Reaktion der Chefin war frech, unverschämt und überheblich. Fazit: Ein unschöner teurer Abend. Nicht zu empfehlen!

The staff is really very nice and the drink orders were processed extremely quickly. However, we had to wait 3 hours for the food we ordered because the shop outside was full. Despite the announced longer waiting time, that was still very long. Pizza is not necessarily recommended. Pasta was quite good.

Great restaurant, excellent food, pleasant atmosphere and nice service!

Spent two lovely evenings here. I ate the Vivaldi salad and side dishes - potatoes. Salad was fresh, various salads, very good dressing. The potatoes were also very tasty. Deduction: the grilled sheep's cheese could have been larger. Would love to come back.

Ordered rump steak...medium. Arrived raw. What do they do....the "rest" is fried again🤦 and...now it comes, served back on the "dirty" plate🤦🤦🤦 I don't need to tell you more... Just a dirty shop.

It was two wonderful evenings. Great service and the food was really tasty 😋 definitely try the tiramisu. Gladly again!

Be sure to add mushroom sauce to Roma Steak. The staff recommended medium plus. Thanks to you, I enjoyed it Pizza is delicious too.

We were treated so well, it felt like being with extended family. We decided to come back the next night it was so good! (We really did.) Try Anna's Salmone Alla Griglia -with lemon sauce-- excellent!! We also loved the Antipasti Vivaldi, Spaghetti al pinoli, & Spaghetti aglio e scampi👌👌👌 Wine: we recommend the Lugana "Le Creete" 2022 (a semi-dry white wine that paired perfectly with above choices on a warm summer night). Nachspeisen/ dessert: Do Not Miss the house-made TIRAMISU!! Ask for both, one is light and delicate, one is more dense with a carmel/choclate creme--they are both heavenly! 💕🌅 Thank you to the friendly staff who all made us feel at home. We found out this is a family-business so that's why everything is made with love! Special thanks to Anna! XO

The pasta was really not tasty. I can do better than that and I can't even cook. The drinks were all non-carbonated. Only the vulture knows how long the bottles have been open. Oh, we waited forever for our food and the boss forgot something with every order. Pepper and salt only came 5 minutes after the meal, even though we had asked for it beforehand. All in all I can say that I won't go there again. Price/performance 0/5 ⭐️

I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant recently and I absolutely love it! The owner was exceptionally friendly and attentive, which made the entire evening an unforgettable experience. Their warmth and commitment to their guests are truly remarkable. Our every wish was met and we felt completely comfortable and welcome. The food was also excellent and prepared with great attention to detail. I can only warmly recommend this restaurant and look forward to my next visit!

Very tasty food and super nice, friendly service. We recommend!

It's a shame I had imagined something different under rabiata. Nice service but unfortunately the food isn't what I imagine an Italian restaurant to be. I wouldn't visit with family again. Average

We ate with you for the first time today and we can say that everything, really everything was great 👍🙏🏻 Service, food and ambience were outstanding 🙏🏻 Keep it up!

Great food, great friendly service... whenever we are in Bielefeld, always happy. 👌🏻

Unfortunately a very unsatisfactory visit to this restaurant, pizza tastes and looks like frozen food and pasta was only marginally better. When asked about the deficiencies, the irritated waitress responded with "Germans always have something to complain about." Not recommended for the price.

Very nice restaurant. I would love to come back. The food is really excellent and the service is super friendly and attentive.

It's a nice restaurant. The food was very tasty - we all had different starters and main courses. The service was charmingly confusing, which she covered up with a pleasant laugh. We will be back!

Mega. Food really great. Service very attentive and nice. When we are back in Bielefeld, we will come back

Very tasty, whether pizza, pasta or dessert!

Unfortunately the result was a big disappointment! Nice ambience, which unfortunately is not reflected in the food and the wines on offer. We ordered the Indio red wine that was offered on the menu. I've known this place for years and was surprised at the disappointing wine I was served. When I had the bottle shown to me, I was presented with a completely different wine that was in no way comparable in taste and quality and was even claimed to be the Indio. I've never experienced anything like this in a restaurant. Unfortunately, my pasta came to the table still softly cooked. In a quality that I have never had before in a restaurant with high standards. All in all, a visit that will not be repeated.

Staff overwhelmed, the first discrepancy arose as soon as we entered the restaurant. An employee placed us at a table for four, which was immediately corrected by the boss because there were only three of us. The new seat in the immediate vicinity of the "control center" allowed us to notice the hectic pace and extremely unpleasant noise of the staff. From then on there could no longer be any talk of a pleasant evening. Drinks came quickly, unfortunately with the wrong one, which was then discussed critically at the counter. One starter was served very quickly, the other was not. My wife asked for a little more sauce with her vitello, I had the dish beforehand. The answer "Sauce is under the meat, but ok. I usually do that, but it costs extra" Now nothing happened for 1 hour. After we made ourselves known and mentioned that we had to go to an event, we were told that we should come sooner. When we made the reservation days before, the boss recommended the 6 p.m. reservation and she even remembered the phone call. The next table, which had ordered before us, even had to be moved because they were unable to serve the food in a timely manner. The crowning glory, however, is the boss, who loves her job so much, according to her. No matter what is said, she has an explanation for everything and at a level like the barkers at the Hamburg fish market.

Pleasant atmosphere, good service. Price/performance ratio fits. Only the food and the espresso could have been several degrees hotter for everyone at the table.

Inconspicuously wonderful! Rarely eaten so well. From starter to main course, everything is pure love. Afterwards some grappa and dad is happy. Perfect evening, thank you for that…

Never again! Tables for 4 are preferred despite reservations. We waited over an hour and a half for a pizza and a salad while other tables had already had their food for a long time. Then the wrong food arrived. Impossible to load this one

Nice team. Great pizza. Thank you

Going to the restaurant after the theater? We were warmly welcomed on the phone. Despite the late hour, we were able to relax and enjoy our really well-topped, very tasty pizza. TOP 🍕

Katastrophe… die Lasagne, viel zu wässrig, kein Fleisch. Die Pizza labrig und ohne Geschmack. Sehr lange auf das Essen gewartet. Nicht noch einmal … leider

Very friendly service and delicious food. I'd love to come back.

Despite the restaurant being full towards the end, very friendly service. Pleasant atmosphere where entertaining is very possible. The food was excellent.

It was very nice and delicious! Gladly again!

Super Essen und tolles Personal. Ich komme gerne wieder und ich werde Vivaldi ganz sicher weiter empfehlen..

War super zufrieden. Service und Essen waren richtig gut.
