After a full day of sightseeing we were ready for a simple meal in a beautiful setting. We got this…read moreat Don Camillo. We made a reservation to ensure a table outside and were seated right away. Service was fast and friendly. The outdoor ambience of the courtyard was outstanding. The pizza however was just ok. I think it wasn't cooked long enough or hot enough. The very thin crust was soggy and overwhelmed by the toppings. Too bad because what we did eat tasted great. May have been an off day.

The Don Camillo in the center of Graz is one of these Italian restaurants you want to go to…read morefrequently. This place is an authentic Italian-run restaurant and even the waiters are often Italians as well. Located in the center of Graz, right in the UNESCO-Old Town on a square next to a little church, the Franziskanerkirche, devoted to Saint Francis, this place provides great food. The staff is friendly and the feel is like in a restaurant on a square in one of the many Italian small towns. Graz by the way feels very Italian and Adriatic people say. Our Pizza and Pasta was delicious as always, since here at the Don Camillo you get true Italian food with Italian ingredients and recipes made by Italians as I already mentioned. I took the Pizza Milano with delicious salami and my company took Spaghetti Bolognese. Both dishes are very delicious. The patio on the square is very nice to sit at and if the weather makes it a necessity the Don Camillo is also very nice and authentic Italian inside. So the interior and the whole place feels like a Italian trattoria. From Graz with love! Dr. Dr. Immanuel Fruhmann

Vapiano is one of my favorite restaurants! Every time we are in Austria we make a point to go to…read moreGraz specifically for Vapiano and afterwards we do some shopping and get a drink on the beautiful rooftop resturant at Kastner & Ohler (we still wanna try their food there but never can because Vapiano is a priority) I always get the camapanelle noodles with pesto, parm, and a LOT of the fresh chili peppers! It's just too good, but I can never finish it! They give such a large portion! We shared the tomato mozzarella salad and it was good! My boyfriend got the carpaccio this time as well and he loved it! But the star of the show is always the pasta!

I ordered a takeaway from Vapiano. The ordering and delivery process was very easy and quick. The…read morereason for the lower rating is simple due to my personal preference. The pizza base was soft and doughy, I would consider it cooked but not to a good standard. The main goal for a pizza is to have a thin and crispy base, this was not. The toppings were okay and tasty.

It was an interesting experience at this very popular restaurant…read more The place was located at the heart of the town, alongside many fine restaurants. We were warmly greeted at seating. Drinks and salad came shortly after ordering. Then, it took approximately 45 minutes for the lasagna and pizza to arrive. Pizza tasted great. The lasagna, on the other hand, was so tough that I couldn't cut through it with a knife. I discussed with my partner-in-crime, and decided to let the waiter know, politely, that this was too hard to chew. The waiter apologized and took the plate back. Sometime later, a handsome looking waiter came back with the same plate. His opening question was, "so, they told me you didn't want to pay for this?" We were very embarrassed. I replied, "that's not the case. We have no problem paying for it. It's just very hard to eat a lasagna this tough." The comeback of this gentleman was that, well, this is how we prepare traditional lasagna and our customers like it this way. At that point we were not going to budge. Fine, just leave it here and we will eat it... And of course we didn't. We would have to load ourselves with Pepto-Bismol afterwards if you couldn't even cut the food with knife. As I already lost my mood to continue eating, we were offered free gelato as compliments. The lasagna stayed on the bill even though it was barely touched when the waiter took it back. I wonder how the chef felt after he saw it. Did he get embarrassed or did he even care? I remembered a scene from the movie "Chef" by Jon Favreau, where the father pulled the son aside after the kid said what the big deal was if he accidentally served burnt Sandwich to customers. The Dad told him, this is what I do, and I take it very seriously. A chef or a restaurant builds reputation around every dish they hand out to customers. If one has tremendous pride in what he or she does, handing out mistake is just not acceptable. We didn't want to be the "rude American tourists" to fight this on a pleasant night on foreign soil. But we've had lasagnas countless times at other fine Italian restaurants. We know what it should taste like. I'm still giving three stars because all staff were nice and pleasant except that one waiter who took it upon himself to defend the mistake. All other items were fine too. I do believe that people learn from mistakes and improve.

We found this place by coincidence. I would really recommend this restaurant for pizza. We had…read morepizza and salad. Salad was so so, I had better. But pizza was just perfect! It was very tasty souse and a lot of cheese. Service is very friendly and fast enough.
