What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
L'Osteria Gelsenkirchen is celebrated for its incredibly large and generously topped pizzas, alongside a vibrant, kid-friendly Italian atmosphere. While many praise the quick and friendly service, some diners have noted issues with food temperature and occasional unavailability of certain menu items, along with a distracting presence of flies in one instance. Despite minor drawbacks, the overall experience often leads to a desire for return visits, especially for the pizza.
"The pizza's are enormous, really we haven't seen such big pizzas in a long time. And the service was super quick. We were many and still had our food in under 15min all with a smile and kind waiters."

"We had a gorgeous time right before a big concert in the nearby Veltins Arena. The receptionist had a table - despite of the busy situation - for us and Maria our waitress was friendly, managed extra wishes effortlessly. The food was good, the wine and grappa delicious. Well come back."
