    This place was alright. Our waitor luckly spoke English so that was nice. We sat in the back which was pretty small for large parties. The back room was also very hot inside. The menu had 3 items to choose from so i was very disappointing. They change the menu every day which is unique but I would have liked more of a wide selection. The wines and cocktails were good.

    The pasta here, and the salad, was a wonderful break from the regular German fare. We liked the laid back ambiance and good prices for the high quality food!

    The experience was an escape into Italy from Munich but you need to find it's sign behind another one. The waitstaff while fluent in English and German, conversed with each other in Italian, enhancing the ambience and authenticity of the restaurant. While the back room where we had dinner was cramped, the food was wonderful and its quality more than made up for this. The menu was limited to a few items listed on a chalkboard, everything was tasty and the arugula salad accompaniments, large. Great escape from wurst when needed.

    This was a hidden gem during our time in Munich. We had lunch here. They start serving at noon. They bring around a chalkboard and explain the pasta offerings for the day. I had a linguine shrimp scampi that was very fresh and my fiancé had rigatoni in red sauce with speck. We also both had a side salad which was great to get some fresh vegetables.

    The first time I came here was back in 2012 and, I have been here many times since. It's time to update my review about this place. The people here are super friendly and welcoming. The place is usually buzzing with people hanging around having a drink or, eating and, the coffee here is consistently excellent. I have also eaten here a few times and, the choice is small and simple. I have enjoyed my meals here each time. I love the tiny desserts that have like tiramisu in an expresso cup, small profiteroles, small Pannacotta etc. If you want something sweet after your meal, this is a nice way to satisfy the craving ;-)) They also serve brunch on weekends but, you need to book ahead of time for this. It's not easy to find and, is away from most of the buzz in the area however, it's only a short walk from all of that ;-) I have brought numerous friends here both local and, visitors and, they have all liked it. As a caution, this place can get really busy during the afternoon & on weekends so, either come here early for lunch or later in the afternoon. This place continues to fuel the German obsession with Italy and, I have heard that many locals come here to practice their Italian ;-)) it is a little tiny piece of Italy in Munich ;-)

    Penne (?) siciliana

    This was my first time here. We came for an early dinner (5pmish) and it was quite empty and easy to get a table (Apparently this isn't the norm here). But I believe this was a result of the fact that it was a super sunny Sunday so most people were probably still sunbathing somewhere in or around Munich. Very cute little Italian place with a front room that opens into outdoor seating when it's warm, and a cosy back room. We got a table in the front part with a view onto the road which made for some entertaining customary people watching! Aperol and other spritzes seemed to be a favourite of the hour. We ordered a white wine to go with our pasta dishes. Pretty normally priced at 3-4 for 0.1 l. We had penne siciliana and rigatoni bolognese, and both were really good! Decent / moderate portions. The penne siciliana was vegetarian in red sauce with eggplant. The rigatoni bolognese was in a white sauce (a first for me!) with minced meat and mushrooms. For dessert we had a tiramisu in a little espresso cup and it was the perfect size (a tad too much creme but otherwise perfect!) Friendly staff. A good experience overall! I will be coming back to try the coffee!!

    Moscow mule is on point. Just need to add the copper cup and then you have it down cold. Great day in Munich!

    Very legit Irish bar in the heart of Germany....Irish bartenders and have the soccer match on when…read moreit's in season. Would definitely frequent again...

    So happy I found this place…read more Located a hop, skip and a jump from Rosenheimer Platz, this place was my savior after a day at the Wiesn. Having had my fill of beer, I just wanted a glass of seltzer (or mineral water or whatever you choose to call it). Now, don't get me wrong, I love Germany but everywhere they seem to serve water in tiny glasses. I wanted a giant glass of water...and the awesome bartender set me up with a half liter glass full of sparkling water. So I had my water, which helped a lot and now I needed food. Luckily, even in my state I was able to read the menu and see they had a cheeseburger and fries platter. I know, not Bavarian but at that point, all I'd had all day since breakfast was one of these ginormous pretzels and the skin off of some roast chicken. The food was tasty (as far as I can recall) and it really helped getting some food on my tummy. Aside from the water and food, what made this place great was the service. The bartender, whose name I regret that I didn't get, was amazing. She was so nice and friendly and really took care of me. I'm sure I looked like another tipsy American tourist but she was a sweetheart. She had short hair and glasses and maybe some tattoos. Anyway, she's the real deal. There was some music that was nice too. Overall, a nice, friendly, clean and welcoming place. To be frank, it can be intimidating to enter a big German beer hall by yourself because it seems everyone knows one another and you're an outsider. Coming here was the exact opposite...I felt welcome right away. Definitely recommend this place!

    I'd give four stars for the food and beverage, and zero stars for the service…read more We really just wanted to find a local pub to post up at, with a good beer list and maybe a small selection of nibbles. Munich has no shortage of beer halls, and a wide variety of restaurants, but we wanted a pub. A no-frills, come-as-you-are pub. The Royal Dolores was supposed to be that. It can be a bit tricky to find, if you come in the wrong door (which we did). Luckily, the nice man at the host stand walked us to the entrance of the Dolores, and told the waitress in the doorway that we were looking for a table. She got us squared away fairly quickly, which we appreciated. We were at one of the tables by the door, and it was warm. It was such a good start, but it all went downhill from there. We were seated at about the same time as a family of four, who were given the table next to us. We both placed orders at about the same time, and we both spent the rest of our evenings trying (and failing) to flag down the waitress. We each ordered a Löwenbräu Dunkel to start, and decided to share two of their tapas plates: the Dream of Schnitzel and the Fromage de France. I lost track of the amount of time it took for our beers to be delivered to our table, and stopped trying to track time when it came to the food. The Dolores isn't very big, and they weren't all that busy when we got there, so we were at a loss as to why the service was so bad. At one point, the mom at the table next to us leaned over to ask for our help flagging down the waitress, if we saw her before they did. The Dunkel wasn't that great - it had the flat flavor that always reminds me of a brown ale, though this draft did have just a tiny bit more flavor. My husband didn't really like the beer at all. He had planned on ordering a different beer to finish the night, but with the aforementioned missing waitress, it was impossible to do. The Schnitzel was delightful, and the cheeses were good (the sauces they served with the cheeses stole the show, to be honest). I wasn't particularly hungry at the time, but my husband wanted something to nibble on while we reclined and drank - that was the plan when we arrived, at least. I know we weren't the only ones bothered by the terrible service - the family next to us made it a point to tell the person who finally stopped to help us - not our waitress, by the way - about the amount of time it took for us all to receive our orders, and the fact that we were ignored the entire evening. It's unfortunate, too, because we both really wanted to like the Dolores, just given its location and the fact that it was the closest thing to a pub we could find at that time. It really only takes one thing to ruin a night for people, though.

    This is one of our favorite spots in Munich to grab a drink, we always go to whenever we are…read morevisiting. Not many places in Munich have TVs, and they do. So a great place to watch sports. The service is fantastic. We always just get beer here, but this time we decided to ask for their espresso martini. They have never made an espresso martini there before but said they would be able to do it, we saw them in the back pull out martini glasses from boxes that have never been opened, they completely went out of their way for us and made us one of our favorite espresso martinis we had in our whole trip to Europe! 10/10 for fantastic customer service! We will be back soon!
