    Caprese pizza
    Noelle H.

    Decent place to grab a bite of pizza and a glass of wine and enjoy the weather (if it permits). I tried the caprese pizza and a glass of the Pinot Gris. Not the most amazing, but it did the trick. There may be a bit of a wait, but it goes pretty quick!

    Die Pizza ist viel größer als der Teller. Nicht so einfach zu essen

    As I have already mentioned I am naturally suspicious of pizzerias outside of Italy :-) I must say I found the place very very crowded and loud and chaotic and at first I was a bit annoyed. Then I reminded myself that I was there on my quest to find the best pizza in Munich, so I forced myself to focus only on the pizza and not to be influenced by anything else. Did I find the best pizza there? No. :-) Still it was above the Munich average (I am talking about the restaurant in the Leopoldstrasse, not sure about the other one), and I enjoyed it. The only drawback for me (but it is for sure a plus for a lot of other people) is that the pizza is tooooo big, it basically sticks out of the plate and it's very difficult to slice and eat. In general I am not a fan of big portions, often, as the Germans say: "weniger ist mehr" :-) The prices were OK and the service very efficient and fast, also considering how full the place tends to get...

    Pizza!

    I love pizza and Osteria is my favourite place to go for it. Although, my preferred restaurant is in the Künstlerhaus near Karlsplatz Stachus, on this occasion we were around the Uni (LMU) on Leopoldstrasse and decided to eat there. The pizza never disappoints! My favourite is the Salsiccia Piccante, and I more or less order this every time. But I must warn first time visitors that the pizza is very big, enough for two. Fortunately, if you are there as a couple you can order two different halves, and pay for the pricier pizza. However, it is rather comical when you are there as a regular, and see the waitress bring over two full sized pizzas for two customers. All customers receive bread and oil/balsamico to accompany the food, and we often order a salad to share as a side. The value for money factor is perfect! The Salsiccia Piccante is so thin and crispy, the sauce is spicy and the Salsiccia is very tasty. It is a very delicious pizza! The restaurant has a beautiful seating area outside, which is fantastic when the sun shines. However, be warned that you will probably need to reserve a table during peak times. The only critique from my latest visit was that the salad wasn't as good as previous visits; it seemed a little bland on this occasion.

    Fantastic place for Italian food. Large pizzas and tasty pastas. Pairs well with wine or aperol spritz.

    I took some pizzas for take-away and they were just ok-ish. Although not bad, the dough is not memorable and neither are the toppings.

    Large pizza which not live up to any expectations. Service could be better. Cocktails are watered down.

    I already compare it with many other restaurants, and this is the best pizza I have tried in Munich, also the size is very big for a cheap price.

    Sometimes I look at the conglomerate reviews for a place and I question why they're generally low…read more I try to keep an open mind about a restaurant's purpose, size, cuisine, location etc. to establish a reasonable expectation of service, food and decor. So I felt that for it's purpose, being an Italian restaurant, in the heart of Munich, during Oktoberfest, L'Osteria was hitting! I saw a line when we first got there which made me nervous because we didn't have any reservations. So I quickly made an online reservation on the spot. It didn't end up being needed because the host sat us where we preferred, at a table just inside the establishment but close enough to the outdoor seating to get a little bit of both worlds. We had a nice view of the Famtain [Hotel] building as well as Karlsplatz Square. So it seemed that a 10 min.+ wait was worth it. We immediately got drinks, specifically the Passionfruit Aperal Spritz which was so good. It's the perfect drink after a long day of walking in the heat. We also ordered a pizza, split with Spicy Pepperoni and Chicken Bacon Ranch. I wonder if we were type-cast as Americans when the Chicken Bacon Ranch part was suggested to us. Don't tell them that I told you it was good! We also had the most delicately sliced Carpaccio with just the right amount of parmesan on top. I loved all of it! So listen, for the bad reviews, I don't know what happened. I think the place is solid. You might have to wait a few minutes to be seated but the turnover should be quick enough for you to get a nice spot. If you're visiting the city it's in a nice central location. Keep your expectations reasonable and you should have a great time!

    Nice space near downtiwn Munich. Busy restaurant but service was good…read more This is what I would call standard Italian food in Germany. Nothing extrodinary or unqiue, just standard fare. Pasta was ok with a good sized portiin of cheese. Lasagna was piping hot but nothing fancy or unique. Pizzas here are popular, big but thin crust and minimal toppings.
