While staying in Munich, we decided to tour Nymphenburg Palace, and afterward looked for a nearby…read morespot for lunch. Just a short walk away, we found Risotto Ristorante, which had excellent ratings and reviews-so we decided to give it a try. WOW. We were absolutely not disappointed. My family and I have been traveling through Europe for two weeks now, visiting Zurich, Lucerne, Zermatt, Innsbruck, and Salzburg before arriving in Munich. We still have five days left on this trip, but I can confidently say this was the best food and service we've had anywhere so far-and I honestly doubt anything will top today's experience. I'm from North Carolina and travel extensively around the U.S. for work, and I can honestly say this restaurant ranks extremely high among any l've experienced anywhere. The food was incredible, the service was exceptional, and Biagio himself made this an unforgettable dining experience.

This place is a very cozy and honest italian restaurant…read more I came here for lunch, as soon as I walked in, it was very obvious that I didn't speak any German so as soon as she walked me to my table, she went through the day's special in English. I ended up going for the caprese salad for the appetizer. wTo be honest, I haven't actually ever had a horrible Caprese salad in my life and the one served here was very very good. For my main I had the Quattro Formaggi Spaghetti which was very good. The portion looks fairly normal but it is definitely a heavy dish. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, the sauce was rich. Usually I cake parmesan cheese all over my pasta but this time there was no need. It was seriously amazing. Next time I'll skip the appetizer and go with this and the unlimited bread basket since this dish alone will fill my stomach and I'm one that can eat quite a lot. Prices aren't too bad, I paid 20 euros for my salad, pasta and sparkling water but I could have easily gone with just the water and pasta which would be about 10 euros. If you are on a budget, this place would definitely be worth it. Saw a guy sitting across from me having a different pasta dish and his portion was far bigger than mine. If you are in Munich and in the mood for italian, definitely check this place out!

I must not look German because I was handed the menu in English. I ordered the mixed salad and spaghetti carbonara. The mixed salad was a generous size with a little dressing on top and then I got bottles of basalmic vinegar and olive oil to add more if I wanted. My entree came before I was even 1/4 way through my salad and I had to move it for the other plate. I would have appreciated it if it was delivered later. And that entree was not impressive. It appeared that the amount of salad I got was more. The pasta tasted like it came out of a box that had been sitting around for a while. The bacon was nice tasting and plentiful enough but the only cheese I tasted was what I added from the dish of Parmesan I was given. So, I would go back for that salad -but not for the pasta.

Quite noisy Italian restaurant, the food was ok but special and nowhere near the real Italian…read morekitchen. The pasta was of medium quality, the Italian sharing platter was not what you expect, instead of the typical cold cuts, bruschetta and cheeses, it was a plate of oiled eggplant, mushrooms and paprika. The wines were good for the prices. Pizza was Also quite good. So we had a decent hounest meal for a nice price... but is was German cuisine not top Italian!

There was a table ready to leave so he had us wait for it while he checked the patron out. He then had us sit there after minimal pickup. There was still another service set for a second individual which was not used since the prior customer was single. So, hey, why pick it up and clean it. Just leave it there for the next customer. But the red napkin centered on the table looked like it need replacing. There were ring marks from a previous customer. Oh well. The food was fine. I got the penne arrabiata and it was fine. Not anything I'd write a raving review over. My companion had the pasta carbonara and that too was just fine. I felt both lacked flavor. I wouldn't recommend or come back.

I am VERY impressed with Il Carretto. A previous review did mention how the interior decoration resembles a tirolean chalet - which rings true.
