Trattoria L'Italiano Vero - Hamburg

The is a small and nice restaurant. Seems quite busy during lunch time and I guess reservation is recommended. The atmosphere is very Italian (good). Service is friendly and smiling.

If you like Italian food and are doing some shopping in Moenckebergstrasse then this restaurant is an easy choice. We visited as a family and chose the restaurant based on location and reviews on TripAdvisor. We all enjoyed our various pasta and pizza meals. The...restaurant was warm and the food was reasonably priced for Hamburg. Expect to wait long for service so be prepared to order your drinks and meal at the same time so to avoid waiting for the return of the waitress or waiter.

I was happy to see the restaurant listed since I couldn't remember the full name. Loved the food, service and staff. Great bread and pasta, great sauce and wine. Reasonably priced and charming. Downstairs from street level, we weren't sure about the looks but it...came highly recommended by another hotel guest and they were right. Try it!

Pizza or pasta: you don 't think about an Italian in any other terms. It is the tiny variations and know-hows that make the difference. In this place, it seems as if there is nothing to complain about: service is very descent, the menu has a...good selection of typical formulae, the anti-pastis being real appetizers. We tried both pizza (scampi, quattro fromaggi and napolitana) and pasta (arabiata) and paid a reasonable 25 Euros per person (it could be better if not for the table water at 5.50 a bottle). Pizzas are 'al forno ', although the pastry is not an italiano vero advertised by the owner: it is simply not the right mix, and it doesn 't look nor feel like an oven-baked flat bread, but rather like an industrial thin-crust pizza. Now, if you are not picky on the pastry, this should not be a problem. The pasta is quite descent, with no twists or chef 's specials: typical arabiata, in our case. A litre of house red, two bottles of mineral water and a pint of bekcs turned out to take nearly third of our bill (33 Eur), so be careful on your drinks list. Pizzas are descent size, the ambiance is quite cosy and family-type. I based my rating on the value for money factor as well as my vast experience of the Italian delis, inter alia, in Germany.

This restaurant is the worst thing that has happened to me for a long time! unheated space, empty luminous. after this hosting becomes clear why. for a pizza with slightly changed, the badly leached) will increase the price from 7.50 to 19.50€, so unannounced almost three times!
