Pizzeria Don Pasquale
π Address: Grazer Str. 54, 4820 Bad Ischl, Austria β Recommendation Index: 5/5 stars! And the BIG plus β they accept credit cards! π³ This Italian restaurant is a total gem, especially because itβs one of the few places open on Mondays! π We popped in on a whim, and wow, were we blown away! Letβs talk about the pizza first β thin-crust perfection! π You can watch them slide it into a traditional wood-fired oven with a big shovel, and the aroma while it bakes? Chefβs kiss. π We tried one with meat (I think it was the Capri), and honestly, it was a tiny bit salty β but no worries, there are TONS of other topping combinations to choose from. Definitely experiment β you wonβt regret it! Now, the pastaβ¦ swoon. π€€ We went for the third option on the pasta menu: simple, fresh, and divine β just olive oil, tomatoes, and shrimp. No heavy cheese smothering it, just pure, unadulterated freshness. It was so flavorful, so light, and so satisfying β 13.9β¬ well spent, trust me! Oh, and the fish soup? π² Incredible. As a Cantonese person, I can 100% vouch for its freshness β it tasted like a hug from the sea. π Best part? Itβs not in the super touristy area, so itβs got that cozy, local vibe. The staff are the sweetest β they came over to say hi, asked how everything was, and their smiles were just as warm as the food. π Do yourself a favor β add this spot to your list. You wonβt be disappointed! π #BadIschl #AustrianLakesRegion
