Il Gondoliere -pizzeria - Wiesbaden

We were greeted outside and led to the table. Since everything was empty, we wanted to get to the neighboring table, which was okay. Alerdings was an employee, vlt Koch or owner, constantly next to us on telephone and smoking. We thought... hopefully he washes his hands. Well, that came to eat and it wasn't particularly delicious and something too expensive. We are even Italians and that was by no means authentic. In the end we had to wait for the bill for a long time and would not be adopted.

We'd go outside to the table. Everything was empty. An employee, chef or owner was on the phone and smoking all the time. We thought he'd better wash his hands. The food was not authentic Italian and not very delicious. The price was rather high for low quality. In the end, we were not passed once and had to wait for the bill for a long time. Not recommended

I came here for a meal whilst here for a business trip. The restaurant had a good feel about it, albeit quiet, and nice decor. It took a while to get served, despite there only being a couple of us in there, but the food came quickly and was really good. Unfortunately the staff member spent all of the time I was in the restaurant talking loudly on his phone, which I found very off putting and unnecessary as he could have gone elsewhere. He was also 'good enough ' to assume he could keep the change as a tip after he told me the card machine didnt work and I had to pay cash. Not quiet the way it works in my experience. A real shame that what could have been a lovely dining experience was let down by some basic service failings. I 'm sure the kitchen staff worked hard to produce the lovely meal, which was then devalued by the front of house service.

My wife and I walked up and down this street looking at the different restaurants and pick this place because it seems to be the most comfortable. We were met by Lawrence who greeted us and gave us a lovely table and helped us to understand the menu because we don’t speak German. The service was great, the wine selection Lawrence made for us was perfect and the food was delicious. I ordered a custom dish with homemade pasta and tomato and basil sauce and my wife had salmon with spinach and potatoes. Both dishes were perfect. We ended the evening with strawberries and ice cream which I feel to take a photo of. This is a great little spot away from all the tourists and everyone here seem to be a local. Enjoy

My son, who lives in Germany and I went to Il Gondoliere in Wiesbaden, to celebrate a special evening. On arrival, no-one asked for our vaccination status or I.D; mandatory at the time and odd, because we were the only diners and they had plenty of time to check us. The food was just ok; the vegetarian section of the menu only offered Penne with Pesto or Arrabbiata, so not very imaginative. I ordered a glass of the only dry Riesling on their menu. It was obviously ‘corked’ on arrival; the colour being dark; the smell and taste confirmed my suspicion. I asked for a replacement glass which they later charged me for!! . The manager informed me that I had wrongly chosen a Riesling ‘classic’ rather than ‘original’. There was only one choice on the menu! My experience of Riesling drinking over the years made me realise that this man was trying to cover up for this undrinkable and disappointing glass he had delivered to my table. Asking for the bill at the end of a very underwhelming meal, we were told they had no card machine and could we pay in cash. They couldn’t supply an actual bill and we later discovered we had been overcharged too. We left feeling very disappointed and uncomfortable; we had left a tip but it was not deserved. We found out the following day that the restaurant had changed owners recently and that the new owner was obviously trading on the good reputation the previous owner had created.
