The service here was outstanding ! Even though I don't know any German, the staff was super accommodating and attentive. In terms of food, I especially liked the mixed fish platter; super fresh and delicious, since Hamburg has a nearby harbor. The steak was also perfectly cooked, and I can confirm that the pizza is just as good as any pizzeria in NYC. 100% would recommend

5 of us thoroughly enjoyed 2 evenings here between Christmas and New year 2026. The pizzas and the truffel parmesan pasta were especially praise worthy. The primitivo a perfect wine at an affordable bottle price. The service was very attentive. Thank you. Is it possible to buy a gift voucher from you?

Nice Italian flavor in Treudelberg, Hamburg. The prices are ok, but service is a little slow. Note that the place is always busy. The owners are real Italians so the food has that authentic italian flavor and texture.
