The menu prices made me hesitate, but honestly, the portions are generous and the quality matches. Kids&#39; play corner is small but thoughtful. Left satisfied.

Came for the schnitzel, stayed for the beer garden. Portions are huge, honestly couldn&rsquo;t finish mine. Service was quick but not pushy. Just wish the outdoor seating had a bit more shade, it got pretty warm. Still, solid spot if you&rsquo;re in the area and hungry.

Booked a table beforehand, good thing too because it got packed fast. The place is small but cozy, and the food tasted proper and authentic. Service was friendly without hovering. I&#39;d say come early or reserve, otherwise you might wait a while. Solid spot for a relaxed dinner.

Nice place for a quick lunch. Service was fast and the staff seemed chill. Sat by the window, decent vibe for a casual stop. 👍

The pork knuckle was the real deal. Crispy skin, tender meat, just the right amount of salt. Had it with a dark beer that paired well. The robot bringing plates was a bit gimmicky but whatever. Portion was generous for the price. Would eat that knuckle again.

The interior is really nice and the staff were friendly. We had a good meal, no complaints. Maybe a bit pricey for what you get, but I&#39;d come back.

The cocktails were spot on and the food matched. Service stayed friendly even when it got busy. Already thinking about my next visit.

We had the chicken, duck and pork. All of them were decent, pretty good actually. The waitress was really kind, that made the difference. Place was a bit busy but fine for a casual dinner.

What an incredible place. Great interiors and tasty dishes. Great wine list, too. Last but not least: outstanding, attentive service.

The pork knuckle was spot on. Crispy skin, tender inside, proper amount of salt. Portion big enough that I couldn&#39;t finish it. Didn&#39;t really pay attention to the decor or service, but the taste alone makes me want to come back. Prices fair for what you get.

Steak was good, but &euro;45 without sides feels steep. Nice place, just not somewhere I&#39;d go every week. Fine for a treat though.

Nice old-school Viennese caf&eacute; vibe. Staff were sharp and friendly. Cake and coffee did the job. Solid spot if you&#39;re nearby.

Stopped by for coffee and ended up trying the gooseberry meringue. Really fresh, not too sweet. You can tell they bake everything themselves. Place was quiet around 3pm, nice for just sitting around. Wish I lived closer, honestly.

The burger was decent&mdash;cooked well and the bun held up nicely. Only thing: soft drinks cost more than I&rsquo;d usually pay elsewhere. Food quality kind of makes up for it though. Fine spot if you&rsquo;re in the area and want something simple.

The Mafiosi omelette was so good, definitely the highlight. Kaiserschmarrn was solid too, perfect for sharing with friends 😊

The terrace is the main draw here &mdash; got lucky with the weather and sat outside. Minestrone was solid, well-seasoned. Pizzas looked good too, though I didn&#39;t try one. Service was quick, no waiting around. Fine for a casual lunch if you&#39;re in the area.

The Thuringian dumplings were spot on, really tasted homemade. Red cabbage had that proper sweet-sour balance too. Only thing is the price&mdash;it&#39;s not cheap for what you get, even if the quality is there. I had the classic roast with gravy and it was filling, but I did pause at the bill. Fine for a treat, not for a regular weeknight.

Stumbled onto this place while wandering near Kr&auml;merbr&uuml;cke. Outdoor seating is perfect for watching people go by. Had a drink, stayed longer than planned. Nothing fancy, but the vibe was right. Service was a bit slow when it got busy, but I wasn&#39;t in a hurry anyway. Would come back for the location alone.

The pork knuckle was spot on &mdash; crispy skin, tender inside. Beer list is solid too. Fries tasted frozen though, which was a bit disappointing.

We asked for a corner table and got one, which was nice. Food was simple and good, nothing fancy. Some items felt a bit pricey for what you get, but the place emptied out and turned quiet. Decent enough.

The food was good and the staff were friendly, but I felt the prices were a bit high for the portions. A decent spot if you&#39;re nearby and don&#39;t want to think too hard about where to eat.

The terrace is lovely in summer, and the inside is cozy too. Good value for the quality, and the staff make you feel at home.

Solid pizza for the price, no complaints. The outdoor seating is perfect for watching the street go by. Been here a few times now and it&#39;s always consistent.

The homemade cakes and tarts are really good, especially the apple tart. The interior is full of old-school furniture and knick-knacks, feels like sitting in someone&#39;s grandma&#39;s living room. Service was friendly, not pushy at all. We stayed way longer than planned just chatting. Only downside, it got a bit crowded around 3pm. Still, nice spot for a lazy afternoon with friends. 🙂

We stopped by for lunch and honestly the portions caught me off guard - in a good way. I barely touched my packed lunch afterwards. The food itself was tasty, nothing fancy but solid. Service was fine once we got our drinks, though that first wait was a bit longer than I&#39;d like. Seats were comfortable enough to just sit and take a break.

We asked for a special preparation and the kitchen nailed it. Chef clearly knows their stuff. Only wish the portion was a bit bigger.

The Diavola pizza was really good and our server checked in just the right amount. Didn&#39;t love the panna cotta though, the texture was off for me.

The pasta was the highlight &mdash; really fresh and well-made. Service got a bit slow when it got busy, but the food made up for it.

The tiramisu here is seriously good. Tastes like the ones I had in Italy, not too sweet, nice coffee kick. Had it after the pasta and honestly it was the best part of the meal. The limoncello was a nice little finish too. Place was a bit busy but worth it for that dessert alone.
