L`Osteria - Hamburg

Located in the center of the city not far from 2 metro stations. Portions are really big and not expensive. Quality is good. It was a little bit too loud though, so we could not hear each other well. Great desserts!

We had 7:30 tickets at the Staatsoper, so ate at L’Osteria across the street. The restaurant was very noisy and the pizzas were about 18” inches in diameter, each person getting a half. We ordered a Capriccioso and it was all right, a decent amount of content, but not really good. The tomato sauce tasted like it was right out of a can, there was little prosciutto, four olives, little cheese and not melted. Service wasn’t great, with our request for the check ignored at first.

Yes, staff is very friendly, but no trained waiters. Our first order for drinks was placed very quickly, but the following orders were more difficult. The waiters did not look to our table of 7 and once the order was placed, forgot it. My third attempt was successful.The food tasted good. Yes, the pizzas are huge, you can easily share them (they even offer to divide the pizza in two with two different toppings) but the quality of the scampi on top is not so good. Our scampi were barely unfrozen and small.The noodle dinners were good size and tasty.An ideal place to have dinner before or after visiting the Staatsoper of Hamburg.

My husband I ate in here on our last night in Hamburg and would have visited again if we were staying longer! We order 1 pizza and 1 calzone without realising the pizza's were huge! We could have shared but we were able to take the half I didn't eat back to our hotel. Everything was very tasty and very good value for money (the 2 pizzas, 1 beer and 1 coke was only 25 Euros!). Great atmosphere but as it's a big place it can be a bit noisy. However, I would highly recommend if you're looking somewhere for a good pizza!

Great atmosphere. Pizzas are so big that they should be shared - lovely thin crust and delicious topping. Risotto (mushroom, red wine) was delicious. Really hand when going to the Opera House opposite. We reserved online beforehand, although we saw people queuing and getting seated it seems like within 10 minutes - depends on the time you go there.
