Osteria Alpenhof is a great find. a very cool crowd in an up and coming area, both young and old…read more We've eaten there a bunch of times recently and always been happy with the quality of the food. A lot of classics, the chef/owner is a German who worked in Rome for a while. The staff is great, friendly and laid back, but very professional. The arugula Salad was large and had a fresh, light, citrus dressing, the antipasti plate was delicious. one of us had a swordfish carpaccio and one of us tried an interesting risotto with cabbage. The Arabbiata was perfectly spicy. Certainly everything was a cut above the usual Italian place in Munich. We didn't try desserts, but had some great wines at very reasonable prices. We have been in once or twice for a drink at their bar and are looking forward to the Terrace in spring. There is also a short take out menu we've used sometimes later in the evening. Definitely recommend this place

I used to live about 100m from this place and, in over two years never visited once. Now that we…read morehave moved away from here, we decided to give it a try. One of the few places in the area, open on a Sunday afternoon. It's a reasonably large restaurant that could seat 50-70 people. They have a pizza counter and of course a full menu of options for starters, pasta, meat, fish and desserts. We decided to order the antipasti teller and it was ok. Loads of olive oil and lacking in flavour or punch. My main course was a pasta dish with clams. I have had this dish so many times in lots of restaurants and it was ok. Lacked the intense flavour I am used to with this dish and, I had to add salt and chili to get it a bit of punch. The creme caramel I had was also ok, nothing special. Service here is good however, speaking Italian alone does not make for good service. The staff were busy watching something on television and seemed a bit distracted by it. I may come back here again. Given the choice of fabulous Italian restaurants in the area, I would have to think twice before coming here.

3 Stars for pizza (personally like L'Osteria better; they're also smaller than L'Osteria pizzas…read more.. and frankly, I'm not a fan of this eating pizza with a fork and knife thing) It was just your average pizza, nothing to rave about BUUUUUT 4 Stars for Panna Cotta UNF. It was a friends birthday and they came out with the tiramisu and panna cotta with a sparkler on top, complete with birthday music playing over the speakers. Panna Cotta was BOMB.COM Tiramisu was a flop though. There are WAY better tiramisus out there.

If you're American, to sum up the menu, this is like a cheesecake factory minus the cheesecake…read more They also offer mixed drinks which is a change of pace from drinking beer or wine. The mojito was the best i ever had. The food was good which helped out their rating because service was slow and they did not have an English menu. However, the names of the dishes are familiar if you have eaten at an Italian or Thai restaurant. Spaghetti carbonara tasted fresh and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The price to portion ratio was reasonable. You'll be full but you probably won't end up taking any leftovers back with you. Overall, if you want good variety executed pretty good, this is the place.

This restaurant serves Thai/Vietnamese...AND...Italian. What?…read more Yes, you read right. I'm often under the assumption that restaurants should select one type of cuisine and excel at it very well. Sinans Cafe falls into this category. Do Italian or do Asian, but doing both on an average level? Why? Mystery. I selected the grilled chicken salad with fresh garden greens, tomato and a honey mustard dressing. It was OK, but was very soaked in dressing...making everything just a bit soggy. The portion size was great, and everything good...but even the freshest of lettuce cannot survive the onslaught of runny dressing. For the record, most dressing in Germany I've found has a much "looser" consistency than what I am used to...so I will be ordering it on the side as soon as I can figure out how to communicate this in English. The salad was...pretty good. As was the Diet Coke. Service was a tad scattered, and the server did drop a glass near our table onto the floor. The large pieces were picked up but there was still crunchy glass all over the floor around us as we finished our meal, and then 10 minutes later...crunching all over our bags and feet. Strange. A perfectly nice lunch spot...nice seating and good location near Goetheplatz...but for 13euros, my salad was as bit of a disappointment. Stick with one thing you do well? Perhaps the solution. Or, I order pizza next time instead of salad. Maybe a better solution.

This is a nice Italian restaurant tucked away in a lane from plain sight in Schwabing…read more It is very much a local spot and unless you knew this place existed it is so easy to miss. I was barely able to understand the waiter today. That could be because he was an italian trying to speak like a Bavarian or that his pronunciation of German was a bit off ;-) The interior is nice and simple yet elegant. There is a lot of tables on the inside and there are a number of tables on the outside as well. I would say you need to book if you want to go there in the evenings. The menu is extensive and, they have it printed onto paper and use it as a table cover so you can read the menu by just looking down. There is a lot of choice for vegetarians as well. The pizza is good and the crust is nice and thin. The choices of toppings are great and you can spice it up with a bit of chilli if you like (not sure why but I always add chili to pizza). There is also a salad bar at lunch time and you can have salad with the pasta or pizza. The bread they serve you before lunch arrives is crusty and chewy and yummy :-) The coffee here is excellent and one of the nicest coffees I have had in the area and perhaps in Munich itself. All in all lunch for two including sparkling water and coffee was €25 which is quite reasonable. All in all a very reasonable place that makes tasty food. Would come back here anytime for a pizza or some pasta.

I thoroughly enjoy this restaurant! They have great wood oven pizzas, tasty pastas and amazing Tuna…read moretartar appetizer. I really enjoy that the choices are not only the typical toppings and options at an Italian restaurant! For example, they had a lemon ricotta ravioli last time I was there and a pizza with tuna sashimi topping, along with some more classical choices. The atmosphere is great too with light hearted fun waiters who joke around. I will definitely go back & would recommend Garbo to all my friends. You probably should call ahead though, as it seemed pretty full the 2 times I've been there.

Great service. Very friendly owners/managers. We came in with 4 adults and 3 children under 5 yrs…read moreold. Made a 5:30 reservation. They were very accommodating for us with the kids. Brought the kids meals out right away. All our food was very good! It's a quaint neighborhood Italian restaurant. Very authentic and cozy. Not many tables so it is wise to make a reservation. See my pictures. We had salads, pizza, and pasta. All hearty.
