While staying in Munich, we decided to tour Nymphenburg Palace, and afterward looked for a nearby spot 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. read more

Sehr lecker! Preislich auch ganz ok! Ich hatte die Pasta probiert und fand sie absolut super read more

The food and service here were great. We got some wine, risottos, and tartare. The wine was tasty and cheap, and the risottos were incredible. I loved the shrimp and asparagus risotto which was very light and summery while the mushroom risotto was still delicious but a bit heavier and more earthy which I wasn't in as much of a mood for. The tartare was very olive heavy and not my favorite but still very fresh if that is something you like. The service was also fantastic and our waiter was prompt and attentive. Separately, if you are interested in going to Schloss Nymphenburg, it is very easy to get to from here. read more

Amazing restaurant! Authentic Sicilian food! Definitely a place a will go out of my way to come back to. Staff- Food and wine was out of this world!! They squeezed us in after my son proposed to his now fiancée! Atmosphere is absolutely outstanding as well! read more

Risotto Ristorante is cozy, beautifully decorated, and run by warm and friendly waitstaff. I made reservations a week in advance via email, and they were kindly able to accommodate. The place is popular. It was completely filled, and they kindly told us to leave once our reservation slot ended. We get it, great food means good business :) I tried: -asparagus & shrimp risotto -tomato & mozzarella risotto -tiramisu The risotto was perfectly cooked with unique flavors, while the tiramisu had a different texture than what I am used to. It wasn't soft and fluffy, but it was thicker like an ice cream. Overall, I loved wining and dining here. The atmosphere was just so cozy! read more

Excellent food. Great service. Cozy restaurant. A perfect meal after a long day at Schloss Nymphenburg. I recommend the tartare and mushroom risotto. read more

If you want a mind blowing experience this place will fill that void. The owner, the staff, the wonderful executive chef...... and then there is the food, then there is the beautiful restaurant and I will finish with the wonderful wines. And extensive wine list. This is one of the best places I've been to in Munich. You MUST HAVE A reservation and can't camp the entire night. It's small and very exclusive. It's one of best times you will ever have at an Italian restaurant hands down. Thank you to everyone who served and took care of us tonight. I hope you read this or someone sends it to you. I will be back. And I will always recommend your fabulous restaurant to my friends. R. R. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Munich. I go here every year/trip when in town. The food and ambiance are amazing. Probably wouldn't recommend for kids, but is great for work or a romantic dinner. Is a small, cozy space. The Italian food is better than some I've had in Italy. The service is amazing, too. They also have nice music and candles, but every dish I've ever had is phenomenal. I love the risotto and truffle fettuccine. The mixed salad and bread/olive oil is high quality, too. David and his team are always very welcoming, too. Thank you for making it a tradition to come back again and again. read more

It's a nice, small Italian restaurant. The food was tasty, but the portions were small for the price. Additionally, the food was cold, and the waitress was constantly rushing us to finish quickly. It felt like we were being rushed the entire time. read more

Excellent neighborhood Sicilian restaurant just a walk away from Nymphenburg Palace. The pizza has an airy dough. We had the steak, pizza and their daily homemade pasta. The wait staff are super friendly & spoke English. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic food and service. They guided us through the meal with recommendations on the dishes including great wine pairings. The risotto with shrimp and asparagus was sublime and the tiramisu right on the money. Don't forget to try their Sicilian estate olive oil. It was a great compliment to the caprese. read more

Overcooked though tasty ravioli. Uninteresting bruschetta: bread should be best quality and tomatoes peeled. Raw sword fish do not deserve strawberries Tuna tataki over spilled with kind of basalmico cream masking the essential taste. Soaked and full of nerves beef carpaccio not from finest and freshness quality. Friendly service and pleasant garden but real Italian gastronomy is missing. read more

Best meal we had in Munich. The service provided by our server David and the rest of the staff was phenomenal. Tons of quick witty jokes to keep us laughing through out our time. The salmon was unreal to the tastebuds as well as everything that came along with. An amazing experience. read more

I've been to Risotto twice - once for drinks with girlfriends and another time for my birthday with a friend. Both times were memorable for the hospitality and environment. The ambiance is that of a cozy no-more-than 50 seating area with clean and homey decor. There is an electronic powered fireplace in one nook of the restaurant that is perfect for a 3-4 person party. I recommend a reservation based on the size of the restaurant and of course for Munich standards. The staff are very attentive, courteous, and silly. They make the entire experience at Risotto come together. They are inviting, willing to help you with the menu, and pair your wines with a smile. The ingredients are fresh, and the food is simple. I had the Risotto Alla Milanese (italian cheeses, white wine, and saffron) which was very simple, but a wonderful treat. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the products. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy dining experience. read more

Made reservations months in advance to dine tonight at this restaurant even though it is a bit away from the main city and a $28 euro taxi each way. Was "greeted" by an older bald man wearing glasses in a white shirt. We told him we had reservations - he grumped away without telling us to wait or follow him. He came back and then verified our reservation and sat us. Another man brought us water and we were hopeful he would be our server. Sadly it was not to be. The grumpy old man came back after waiting on 2 tables of Germans who came in after us. My husband inquired about bourbon he saw on the way in and he told him only wine. Our son who speaks fluent German asked and the server again walked off from us throwing his hand in the air and returning with the bourbon list. I asked if they had sprite or 7-up and he said look on the back of your menu. He then left and continued to wait on all of his other tables. We left cash for the water and left. My advice if you are American or speak English- even with a fluent German speaker avoid this restaurant. It cost us a taxi fare and several hours of our life for nothing. BTW- the menu was pretty limited as well- steak and calamari as the only seconds listed. I will not support rudeness. read more

Excellent food and very friendly staff. Everything was outstanding especially the parmesan ricotta with Parma ham. Staff was engaging and helpful. I've never had a better modestly priced wine. Our new favorite. Highly recommend read more

I did a search, had it validated by a few co-workers and took a taxi. Best decision! This tiny corner packed hospitality, freshness, flavor and passion into every inch. As I was a single, I wandered in around 7 p.m. without a reservation. I was happy to sit at the bar and watch the evening unfold. It did not disappoint. From the friendly staff to the delicious menu and drinks and the cozy atmosphere, Risotto Ristorante is a must-visit. I had the staff select my meal which was a small plate of fresh and crispy scallops on a bed of mangos followed by risotto with shaved white truffles. Seriously...just a wonderful visit and worth a stop! read more

By far the best Italian restaurant in Munich. They have the best staff as well :) Apart from their risotto, the truffle Alfredo is simply spectacular and their tiramisu was light and perfectly sweet- I cannot get over how much I enjoyed the meal. If you stop by, ask to sample their olive oil collection - every one of them was amazing! read more

Rarely have I been in a place that perfectly captures the emotions of how I feel about the food and people I love. This wasn't just a dinner, this was an experience that I won't soon forget. The owner took care of us as if we were dear friends. The waiter took care of us as if he was as invested in our experience as we were. By far the best restaurant I was at during my time in Munich. read more

Amazing service and the food was out of this world! The atmosphere of the restaurant was very chic, and the staff was incredibly friendly and professional. I would recommend anyone to this place in a heart beat! I ordered the Fettuccine al Trutufo, and it was the best truffle dish I've had ever. read more

Very friendly. Even with my inability to speak Italian they were extremely friendly and helpful. Almost made me wish I lived in the area. We only ordered drinks both times we went they brought us appetizers just because! read more

Not only excellent Italian food at a great price but warm and friendly staff that explained the menu in German, Italian, French and English. A truly international evening that really made our dining experience memorable. Would highly recommend, especially when one needs a change from wurst and schnitzel. read more

We had a wonderful meal and great afternoon at Risotto Ristarante! The people were warm and friendly, had great recommendations and exquisite Italian cuisine! My best and favorite meal in Munich! They treated our kids very warmly and parents too! Excellent house wines as well!! read more

My wife and another couple just dined at Risotto and had a wonderful time. The food was excellent, the service outstanding and the owner a delight. Home cooked Sicilian style cuisine that was reasonably priced and fantastic. If you're in Munich, well worth the visit. read more
