I ate here last night with a friend from my German language class and her German boyfriend, after…read morethe place we had planned to eat at across the road turned out to be closed. We sat down at a table on the pavement, and took ages deciding what to eat - why? Because everything looked so delicious! The people on the neighbouring table were enthusing about their prawns, and they did look and smell delicious. In the end, I chose to have some grilled squid which was cooked to perfection, while my friends had a Spaghetti al frutti di mare and a spaghetti e gorgonzola - which I have to say didn't look as appetising as mine did! Nevertheless, we all enjoyed our meals and the lively atmosphere inside and outside the restaurant contributed along with the good food. Prices were reasonable, ranging from EUR6 to EUR15 euros for a main course. Highly Recommended!

Unfortunately it lets itself down by the way the manager behaves and food is average at best. If…read moreyou have an opportunity to try somewhere else I would recommend that as an option. It could do really well but it fails on some key basics and unfortunately that spoils what they have done well. The restaurant is a great size the tables have room and the decoration is nice. The facilities are good and the serving staff are nice enough. I would also pass on the garlic bread attempt... It looks and tastes like garlic sauce from a kebab shop best left for he kebabs and the dry bread is an easy miss.

Die Pizza Taomina ist extrem gut. Sehr empfehlenswert. Die Küche ist offen einsehbar. Beim reinkommen ins Restaurant kann man den Köchen bei ihrer Kunst beobachten. Sauberkeit und Hygiene ist somit garantiert. Guter Laden, faire Preise, guter service und leckeres Essen.

During our time in Germany from 1994 to 1996 we used to go there a lot as it was located in the…read moresame neighborhood as our condo. We went there again during our visits last year and this year and it is still a very nice place in Hamburg Barmbek. This part of Hamburg has changed a lot - to the better and especially the service team is fun and very helpful. They have two places in Hamburg, one in Barmbek and one in Poppenbuettel and the one in Barmbek is a bit more cosy and authentic, but the one in Poppenbuettel has got nice outside seating during summer.

We honestly would have done better to have bought frozen pizzas. The pizzas we got were super salty…read more(almost inedibly so) and very poor quality. My "Meeresfrüchte" had mostly surimi on it and the pizza that was supposed to be fungi was the poorest quality ham! Not ok for the intended vegetarian. I should also mention that they were small which, given how unpleasant they were, turned out to the least disappointing thing about these pizzas. We won't be buying from there again.

Espresso felt a bit burnt, which would be surprising if they used any good machine…read more Then I felt the distinctive taste that is not usually associated with appetizing food. I skipped the soup and ate salad. It was quite nice salad of fresh vegetables and little olive with additives. Unfortunately main course looked like heavily overcooked rice soup. Smell was also strange. I ordered risotto with frutti di mare, so I skipped it too. There were many other people eating, so I may have been the only one so unlucky. But I won't visit this restaurant ever again, since it was the worst lunchtime I had since quite a few years. (And yes, I told them so, but they still required payment for something I couldn't eat!)

If anything, this is a wonderful place to lunch or dine outside in the shade of old trees at the…read moreend of the Bleickenallee. The choice is also more varied than the run-of-the-mill Italian. My vitello tonnato was excellent and the smell of my companion's tagliatelli with scampi mouthwatering. What a pity that the panna cotta didn't live up to the expectations: it was tough (too much gelatine) and bland in taste (no rasped lemon peel or something else that could have enlivened the taste). Still, overall a good choice
