Guido Al Duomo — Restaurant in Munich

In the mood for some good food? Need a paws (dog-friendly) between department stores? Not in a hurry for the old town’s fast food? Here’s the spot, just out of earshot from the buzzing Marienplatz. Around the East-curve of the Frauenkirche and adjacent to Killian’s Irish Pub, you’ll find an Italian culinary upgrade in the form of Guido Al Duomo.

So, why here and what’s good?: it has charm, inside and out, elegant yet traditional, cozy yet a little exclusive (in a good way). Swift, friendly and professional service, where the owners (Bolognese siblings) will often go out of their way to welcome patrons old and new.

A great outdoor eating area and atmosphere in all seasons, the perfect place for lunch. Whenever we come here, we always feel welcomed and unrushed and have never had anything but great food. It’s always busy, but in a good way with Italian flair and an enticing vibe. About 20-30 tables inside and outside (depending on season).

The food: fresh, seasonal, traditional, yet refined. A master sommelier is also on hand to perfectly pair wine with food. Servings are more or less generous depending on what you order - experience leads to best choice.

Not so good: prices are a little steep, a little, but you’ll be hard to find this quality and atmosphere anywhere nearby. This is not really a quick stop, fuel-up kind of place, and possibly not for most tourists too (?), rather for those who like to take a bit more time enjoying good company with...

I like the vibe and the location, I was once for lunch there and both vibes are great. The food is nothing special, and absolutely overpriced for what you get. For example a starter with burrata for 19 euros and they serve only half of Burrata 😆 sorry I didn’t take a picture. Alongside the sea bass we ordered three side dishes, one of it was forgotten. We ordered still water and afterwards it somehow switched, we were served only sparkling. The service was a bit confusing, since our waiter just decided to spill his problems/stress on me when I asked about the table outside (my sentence included the words, “sorry”, “if it’s possible” etc.). Conclusion: very stressful environment for the staff, leads to rude comments to the guests; the place is very central and most likely focuses tourists, that’s why building a nice connection with guests is not important. Quite unusual for an Italian restaurant. The waiter that served us outside was very kind, that was a huge switch from the experience before, he said he was from Morocco. I left 20% of tips and I really hope he is getting them. I made a whole guide on Italian restaurants in Munich on Google maps and this one is very far away from...

Place is expansive with bad service and no sense of Italy at all.

Sitting here right now. We ordered drinks (aperol was bad) and was deciding about food for some time… we were having drinks for 10-15 minutes and all that time on the table were two small plates with little olive oil on it. I remember Italian restaurants but never saw it, plates with oil but NO bread. Only after we ordered food they brought some bread. But that old was not enough for the amount of bread they brought ;) and thay save olive oil and don’t give anymore than was on the plate. I don’t tell that when we asked for a little more bread, the answer was exactly “we don’t have any more bread!” We ordered 2 beef carpaccio for 23 euro each. And caprese ( with not good tomatoes). We asked balsamic and it wasn’t served as...
