Fantastic food and service! Generous portions…read more Our waiter was friendly and pleasant from the moment we stepped into the door. Our first experience since having been in Germany for a week where we didn't feel alienated for not being able to speak German beyond the basics. He immediately brought over English menus without us asking and was happy to speak in English with us. Beyond that, the food is delicious and it's the first place I've been to where I thought to myself "I want to go back!" I ordered a spritz, Caesar salad, and bolognese. The salad was large enough for me to share with 2 others. And I am currently eating my bolognese takeaway the day after. It's so good it inspired me to leave a positive review.

I am not a great fan of chain restaurants, but this one was fairly good. I would not go as high as…read more"Might be best Italian I have ever had! Super authentic." which may be true for the person who wrote that. But: nice food decently priced, I might go again when in the area. Would I drive a 30+ min detour just to dine here (mandatory in my ranking to get five stars)? Not very likely. Still recommended.

I happened to come across this restaurant and thought to return in the evening. I am so glad I did…read more One of the best Italian food I've had in a long time, not to mention the great, attentive, friendly service. I was greeted by a nice older gentleman who I think is the manager or the owner. He kindly ushered me in and greeted me with "Merry Christmas." The server made me feel special as I dined alone for a Christmas dinner. My instincts were to order the frutti di mari spaghetti which I sort of understand as being tomato sauce based and garlic with an assortment of seafood. The other part of it I just wasn't sure of even though the waiter tried to explain it to me kindly. I am so glad I ordered it as it was plain perfect. The pasta cooked perfectly to al dente, seasoned not too salty with plenty of good garlic sauce. It was not heavy--simple yet scrumptious! I couldn't be happier. I felt like I wanted to splurge so I asked for some dessert. The waiter recommended me his favorite. From what I could figure out, it was an ice cream ball with a layer of chocolate gelato and vanilla center covered in cocoa powder. When it came out, it was pretty much what I expected with some additional whipped cream and caramel sauce. Not too heavy, just sweet enough, and a great way to end the meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal. Oh, and to top it off, the price was extremely reasonable for the quality of food, service, and live music! I may have to stop by Dresden again just for this meal! Thank you, and please... Don't change a thing!

We stopped here to get some pizza. The prices were very reasonable for how large they are. Also,…read morechildren under six get a free small pizza. The pizza itself was okay. Not the best quality, but satisfying. I've had worse for sure. The service was very good though. Our waiter was extremely nice. Personally I'd say try some more authentic food for the region. But this is a good alternative if you are getting tired of that type of food.

Very enjoyable meal in late June 2023. My husband and I were out looking for somewhere to have…read moredinner when a terrific storm materialized. We ducked into Classico Italiano and are glad we did! My husband loved his pizza and I loved my primavera salad. A lemon sorbet with prosecco was a lovely, light sweet ending to our meal. We had had lots of delicious German food but were ready for a change and Classico Italiano provided that change of pace. This restaurant has lovely outdoor seating under umbrellas on Neumarkt. We sat inside due to the storm and enjoyed our cozy table. Service was attentive and friendly. If we are ever in Dresden again we will return!

Classico Italiano is a wonderful Italian restaurant directly across from the gorgeous Frauenkirche…read more Weather permitting- I like to sit outside, since the view is just gorgeous. I've visited Classico Italiano twice now, during separate visits to Germany and the food is consistently delicious. To start, we ordered the Carpaccio. The beef was so flavorful and given a nice drizzle of extra virgin olive oil & topped with arugula. I've had this appetizer at several other places in the past and Piazza Nova's certainly outshines in taste and freshness. The pizza I ordered was top notch: fresh ingredients and a crispy crust done to perfection. It is classic Italian style thin crust pizza with many choices for toppings. The wine list is nicely done with a variety of wines for every taste. For dessert, we split the Amaretto Sundae made with scoops of amaretto & chocolate gelato and topped with whipped cream, amaretto flavored wafers, amaretto liquor & chocolate shavings. This dessert is decadent but very deliciously so. The wafers became soaked with the amaretto liquor and added a nice texture to the wonderful softness of the gelato. A 5 star dessert. The only downsides: the service is fast but not necessarily friendly and the prices are definitely marked up for the tourists. But I have to say, all in all, this restaurant has won me over with their upstanding quality and overall superbly flavored dishes!

3.5 stars. Multiple…read moresources raved about La Casina Rosa, so we made it a must-go during our Dresden trip. Without reservations, we knew to go later in the evening (~9 PM), and luckily, we were able to get a table from a no-show. La Casina Rosa is a small place, no more than 10 or so tables. The ambience was comfortable and intimate, and with the wall painting of what looked like Tuscany, one could imagine having a decent Italian meal. The server was friendly but slow in attending us. We ordered a house salad, "Pizza Casina Rosa" (tomato, mozzarella, spinach, garlic, and parmesan), and "Tagliatelle alla Molisana" (lamb, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and rosemary). The food was nothing out of the ordinary, but it was delicious. I love the combination of Molisana. The unfortunate mishap came when our server completely forgot our salad. We could have forgone the salad, yet we still asked for it when our entrees came. Instead of bringing the salad during our meal, the server brought it after we finished our dishes. It was literally having salad as dessert. That was a first for me. After the salad, the server didn't come back to check on us for anything else, so after some time, we forwent the actual dessert, paid our bill, and left. Perhaps this place is overhyped or we just had an unusual experience.

Prices aren't too high and the restaurant was completelly full. We would recommend especially because it is outside of the touristic area and just nice to feel you eat like a local.
