L'Osteria München Elisabethstraße — Restaurant in Munich

First of all: we had to wait even though we had made a reservation. But thankfully the waiter serving us was nice.

We were ”welcomed“ with awful and loud concert music, it was so distracting in our ears that we could not keep up a normal conversation. Our food came after 20-30 minutes, I didn‘t keep track of time but it was longer than expected.

Now coming to the worst part - the food. My friend ordered a pasta dish, which was fine. But my dish, which was a Zucchini Pasta dish with Scampi and Tomatoes - was so awful that I had to put a lot of salt and parmesan in it - note that I despite a lot of salt in my food. The lack of flavor was so disappointing, because I only heard good things about L‘Osteria‘s food. I couldn‘t finish it, even with a very hungry stomach. I couldn‘t express my criticism to the waiter because of the loud music and he was in rush because of the full restaurant.

Sadly, L‘Osteria will not be my first choice of restaurant ever. Only two stars because the food of my...

Overall not great, why:

Waitress - She became nicer over time, nothing to complain.

Food - Aubergine on pizza could have their skin removed, they slice it vertically so on the side you really eat just skin. Salad and Pasta were ok.

Service - Fun start here, on a Sunday midday with half the restaurant empty (empty outside and half empty inside), it took them: 18 minutes for the pizza (this is OK, these restaurant usually some take away orders to process) 22 minutes for the salad (assume they killed the chicken in the meantime) 25 minutes for kid pasta !!! WTF ?! Kid pasta so pasta oil and cheese !!! It's like they went to the farm and did the parmigiano while we waited...

So yes, what is on the right of the picture, what takes you 10 min to do at home, takes this restaurant 25 minutes with half of their tables empty.

Ha and yes, they don't have noise dampers under their chairs so some make awful noise if you dare to move it...

WE WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN! We have eaten here twice now on site and also ordered twice and had it delivered. The first times were a pure disaster, but we wanted to give it a second chance. But again, complete failure, why: the staff are more than unfriendly and treat you condescendingly, when ordering we had a delay of 20 minutes, which is still okay to some extent, it happens, but the pizzas and side dishes were cold and hard as a bone. When we called, they were very nasty and blamed us. On top of that, we were told to make the pizzas in our own oven to get them warm again or we could order again, but only with a delivery time of about 1.5 hours. The worst thing is the unfriendliness and almost blaming the customer and downright...
