This place is a no go. They might look like an Italian…read morerestaurant, they might act like an Italian restaurant, and they even actually be an Italian restaurant - just a really bad one. Maybe it's the lack of restaurants around or maybe it's just because they are just not good at what they do - they forgot the Italian hospitality and service. How come all the reviews are praising this place?!?! We came here in the afternoon, quite a big group and had a table reserved for us, the menu is a bit confusing as it's full of ads and weird articles. I really felt like having bolognese which is a must in Italian restaurants and they didn't have it, not in the menu and not in the specials. In addition - I had to ask twice for everything (took them 15 minutes to bring my very-not-tasty-from-cheap-syrup Apple juice. My pasta dish was very small, so small I left the place hungry, and not even offered me some Parmesan cheese. One positive thing - the garlic Aioli, which is great.

We've been at this location for the ffirst time - we were regulars when this place was not a…read morepizzeria but an italian restaurant called L'Incontro. The new owners redecorated and remodeled the room. It looks nice and modern. But the noise level is unbearable and there are too many seats squeezed into this room - you literally sit back to back with other guests. The pizza is okay - not but but nothing to get too excited about either. The waiter who served us was a pushy selelr - everytime some of us chose something, he came up with something "better" or "more appropriate". No thanks, man, I know what I want and don't need anybody pushing me into stuff. Waaayy too much hard selling here. You can go there, sure. But we won't come back another time - too noisey and too standard and mainstream for us.

Was there twice, and the buffalo mozzarella with prosciutto was something I drool about today. The essence of great Neapolitan is fresh, luscious tomato, with just enough flavor accent from the cheese or more to keep it interesting, and this was, indeed, first rate. Writing this review is, I'm afraid, really draining on the salivary glands, and now I want to immediately go back.

When I first went they had a 3 goats cheese pizza of the week with pesto. It was amazing.

I'll definitely be coming back here, a lot.

You're looking for traditional Italian food in Hamburg? Want to try genuinely fresh scrumptious…read morepizza that melts in your mouth? Well, this is it . . ! Their menu offers an awesome range of fresh pizzas, other dishes and sides. I really liked dining here. Staff members here are always friendly, prices are reasonable compared to the food quality and service. I tried one of their best pizza and was one of the best ever had in Hamburg. Since then I have visited this place several times and my opinion about this pizza has still not changed.This place makes you feel like family or friends. I really do admire the continuous caring by the chief hostess and waitresses to meet the expectations and acquire guests' satisfaction. By the way, don't be afraid to order something other than pizza because whatever you order will be on point nevertheless their pizza still above all. P.S. : Be aware that this place is usually crowded.

The pros: * thoughtful, attentive , gracious service; * casual atmosphere with solid…read morewooden tables; * the pizza has great texture, with crispyness outside and a softened interior crust loaded with gooey, bubbly cheese; * when I couldn't decide between two pizzas, the server offered to make the pizza half and half - - really appreciated that! The cons: * the pizza was a salt bomb - - the meats are salty, the cheeses are salty - - but even the CRUST is excessively salty; each bite was overwhelmingly dominated by salt - - since I got half 'Salsiccia und Peperoni' and half 'Speck und geräuchertem Scamorza' I thought the other half would have more character and be less salty - - but uh uh - - and this really overwhelms the contrasts of flavor of the individual ingredients; * you are served bread and a dip to start - - the bread is forgettable, and the dip tastes like pure mayonnaise - - godawful; * the many little peperoni tasted like the brine they are packed in from the can or jar - - they are anything but fresh - - and they still had the stems on, so you had to either try to surgically remove the stems without destroying the pizza underneath, or eat them as is and try to spit out the stems; * the salsiccia were little round blackish balls that rolled around on the slice when you tried to eat them, and had little flavor since they were overcooked; * I ordered a kellerbier, and it was foul - - either they have no turnover so the keg is old, or they haven't cleaned the lines in a long time - - or both. Would I eat at Ai Volo again? Even when in the mood for a bubbly, gooey, beautifully textured 'za - - I wouldn't eat that salt bomb again, and I now don't at all trust their choice and blending of ingredients. I wouldn't drink a beer there again either.
