What People Feel
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Nice atmosphere, tasty food and big portions! It’s strongly recommended. However, it was a Friday evening and many people were turned down because they didn’t have a reservation, but most of the tables didn’t fill during the night. Always struggling to understand the rationale!"
"Pizza as it should be, perfect thickness, crunchiness, toppings are not too much, pizza was super tasty and balanced! 10/10 definitely my favorite place from now on."
"I once met a professor in food on a train. He said that the french kitchen is overrated. The italian is far better, especially the southern one. Il Locale proved him right. A fantastic "ristorante"!"
"A tiny Italian gem in Ottensen. The owner is very friendly and caters to all your needs. Highly recommend the pizzas and the Suppli!"
"Delicious food in nice atmosphere with friendly service. Enjoyable dining experience!"
"Great place to eat pizza, the tomato sauce, the crunchiness of the dough and the choice of cheese as well as the toppings, everything was well balanced. The lasagne was delicious, too. Thanks a lot for a nice evening!"
"Best italian restaurant I tried this year. Thin pizza, not the fat thick one. We had the one with anchovies and olives and it was really good. The ingredients nicely spread so each slice would get a pieces of each ingredient. We also had the spaghetti with garlic and it was really good, not too much garlic as they do in some other places.. I think this place is excellent. Also the guys running the place are Italians, I know because I spoke with them in italian, not that is an important fact but if you are Italian just know that they will understand you if you don't speak German ."
"Really good pizza and salad! Pasta/meat: no so great but if you stick to the pizza, you will not be disappointed!"
