An Italian Restaurant of Absolute Excellence
During our stay in Munich, we stumbled upon Ristorante De Vivos on Plinganserstrasse quite by chance – and what can we say? It was a culinary revelation.
We've never eaten Italian food of this caliber in Germany before. Here, they don't just "interpret Italian cuisine," but truly cook it like in Italy – authentic, precise, and with uncompromising quality.
Whether it's homemade pasta, lasagna, pizza, fresh fish, or meat dishes: everything is cooked to perfection, exceptionally aromatic, and of noticeably the highest quality ingredients. No compromises, no cheap imitations – just genuine Italian cuisine, the kind you usually only find south of the Alps.
The excellent wine selection also deserves special mention: superbly curated, with expert and honest advice.
The service is exceptionally attentive, warm, and professional – unobtrusive yet present, with a keen sense for the guests' needs. You feel welcome and exceptionally well cared for from the very first moment.
This restaurant is absolutely top-tier and, in our opinion, clearly one of the best Italian restaurants – not just in Munich, but in all of Germany.
We live in Switzerland, but one thing is for sure:
We'll definitely be back – if only to eat here again.
Thank you so much to the entire team – a true gem!
Traditional Bavarian home cooking, especially the roast pork, has always been delicious. I've often eaten there or ordered takeout when there was no room.
Unfortunately, there are sometimes simply too few parking spaces for all the guests – I'm glad I can go.
There are a few dishes that are always on the menu. Otherwise, the menu changes weekly and offers very good value for money.
The staff is very friendly.
Even though the beer garden is right next to the road, it's not really a problem; it remains pleasant under the chestnut trees. The inn is located in a village, not on Munich's ring roads.
Furthermore, I can't understand the few negative reviews at all and wonder if those people perhaps ate elsewhere.
And when you look at the room rates, it should be clear that it's not a 5-star hotel.
Wow! 🤗 The food is absolutely delicious, whether it's salad, pizza, or pasta. The service is very attentive!
Unfortunately, the coffee machine had already been cleaned, but you can also take away dessert (and you absolutely have to have it!).
It's worth every detour! We love you! ❤️
A super friendly team with excellent food! Whether homemade pasta, pizza or antipasti, here you get authentic Italian food in a stylish atmosphere! 5 stars more than deserved.
Unfortunately, we didn't find the price justified for the food. If you have no prior experience with fine dining, you'll probably be satisfied. However, if you have something to compare it to, you'll realize there's room for improvement—both in the food and the service. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't worth the price.
I had the four-course set menu, and my husband chose three dishes from the à la carte menu. The portions were ample—I was even more than full! As I mentioned, the food was tasty. They tried to incorporate some unusual touches. But I wouldn't call it "Michelin-star quality," as some reviews here occasionally suggest.
We were disappointed with the wines by the glass. Apart from the Bacchus, we didn't enjoy the rest.
The service was friendly, but unfortunately inattentive. Drinks weren't refilled even when glasses were empty, and one glass wasn't properly clean. At times, things seemed a bit disorganized.
... Furthermore, there was a family celebration in the main hall with a horde of children who didn't know how to behave, and their parents didn't seem to want to teach them any manners. A reminder from the staff regarding the noise level would have been appreciated.
One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten, the staff is very attentive and friendly 😊, my beef carpaccio is legendary, definitely worth a visit, or rather several ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely delicious food and very friendly service, highly recommended!!
We called half an hour before the kitchen closed to ask if it would be possible to order hot food, which isn't something you normally do, but the lady on the phone was very friendly and said it was no problem.
We arrived and were immediately greeted very warmly with the words: "You just called, didn't you?" Just choose a table you like. In short: The food was fantastic! The service was fantastic! And the atmosphere was excellent too. We'll definitely be back.
We went there with our friends on a recommendation and we can definitely recommend it! The food was delicious and the value for money was excellent!
We'll definitely be back!!!
Delicious Spanish food and incredibly welcoming!
The location is a bit chilly, not very cozy – more of a beer hall than a Spanish bistro… there's room for improvement with some decor and warmer lighting.
But the food is absolutely fantastic!
We just had our weekly cheese spaetzle dinner. A real treat! Highly recommended. The location of this idyllic mountain inn is fantastic, and the service is simply top-notch!
