Ristorante La Gondola — Restaurant in Baden-Baden

We randomly stopped by this place without reservation, and it did not disappoint!!! It's the best Italian food I've ever had (I've never been to Italy though). It's a small charming place. You know you're in the right spot when you see it packed when they first open with a bunch of Italians dining there as well. Staff is friendly and the menu is in English.

The Tagliatelle pasta had perfect texture to it, and the lasagna was amazing. It's just the perfect amount of sauce to noodle to meat and cheese ratio. My friend is also picky with lasagna and said he enjoyed it as well. The minestrone soup was very warming and delicious to eat. The veggies tasted so fresh in it! The pizzas are also good here. I'm not a huge fan of pizza but theirs was delish! The bread wasn't too dense, but it was still chewy. I highly recommend dining here if you're craving...

So if you're in Baden Baden, Germany walking in the beautiful Black Forest, traipsing 5km uphill on the Merkur, a hot tea and cable car decent, with heel blisters from swanky new leather boots bought yesterday in Cosmo Bad Bad where they live the "Good Good Life" according to local tourism (it's true) Then Ouch and aah soaking in mineral hot tubs, lathered chin to toe, brushed with a "hard or soft brush madam? Hmm soft I think for you" following dinner the evening prior at totally fabulous YBurg, the restaurant on a mountain top inside remains of an old castle with 360 degree sunset views of the Rhine Valley into France, what could top this? Ah yes! Being greeted by The Godfather of Baden Baden, owner of this fine establishment serving the best Italian food outside of Italy. Favoloso cucina e...

Authentic, fresh and piping hot Italian food.

My partner and I enjoy finding good food that does not break the bank! We came across this restaurant from Google searches and also a recommendation from our Airbnb host. He told us this is the best Italian restaurant in town!

The open at 6pm and we arrived around 6:20 pm, and the restaurant was very busy! We didn’t make a reservation but would advise that you do as many tables were reserved. And as soon as we leave, our table was occupied by other guests.

The interior gives you a vibe that you are on a ship. The team works efficiently and greets you with warmth. It was a lovely experience.

We ordered: pizza speciale carbonara wheat beer Radler

The bill came to just over €30 and the portion size was generous. Would definitely...
