Best Italian food near Graz, Styria, Austria
Find out what Italian restaurants to try in Graz. A bevy of universities give Austria's second-largest city its lively pace. Baroque palaces are a pleasant contrast with 16th-century courtyards and provocative modern buildings. The Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, teems with fine architecture, including the Burg castle complex, with its Gothic double staircase, and the graceful Uhrturm clock tower. A funicular takes visitors up the dramatic bluff. The River Mur dashes through the city, and thermal springs dot the surrounding countryside.

I went there with high expectations and it didn't disappoint. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious. It's not like 'hey, it's italian so you'll eat pizza'. No, there's a varied array of choices, for starters, mains and desserts. All of it was great, including the espresso dopio.

After barely getting a table the night before, I wanted to make sure I had a reservation for the evening. I had the hotel call two places, but neither could promise me a seat. I passed this place going back and forth to my hotel, so stopped the late afternoon and made a reservation. Now having just spent a month in Italy, my expectations were fairly low. The place bills itself as Sicilian, but probably only half of the menu items (which werenât that many) could be categorized as âSicilianâ. I decided to play it safe, so I ordered the mixed antipasto platter, which was fine â salami, prosciutto, capocollo, cheese, olives and some fried cauliflower. I ordered a glass of the house white, which unfortunately tasted oxidized to me. I pointed this out and was given a replacement glass of grillo. Main course was grilled calamari and grilled vegetables. This turned out to be quite good. The calamari were cooked perfectly. The big surprise were the grilled vegetables. They did not try to mimic Sicily by cooking eggplant or zucchini, but, instead, the provided was readily available locally â potatoes, cauliflower and winter squash. The vegetables were the best part of the meal and I give them credit for that. Only three people were working and at least two seemed to be both cooking and serving. The kitchen is tiny and open, so Iâm pretty sure each dish is done individually. The fish dishes were definitely on the pricey side, which is not terribly surprising. I didnât have a bad experience, just not overwhelmingly positive either.

Friendly place and a lively atmosphere. Great house wine, excellent antipasti platter, good desserts. But the main was a disaster for some of us! A few were lucky and chose the pork sauce (delicious) but the tomato/mozzarella vegetarian sauce was almost non-existent and very, very bland. Also, the pasta wasn't properly cooked - not even al dente. So, we had a good time and our friends assured us that it's usually much better here, however the main course was very underwhelming. Reasonable prices.

The food was great, but the restaurant is missing some ambient music and wi-fi. We also didn't know what we are ordering because menu was not in English (only in Italian and German). So some of us didn't know exactly what we ordered. We didn't regret going in this restaurant, but the experience is not for the first ranked pizzeria in Graz.

Good spaghetti and good brodetto. Not excellent, yet fresh and tasty. Portions are huge. Service is very attentive and kind. Relaxed setting and a small garden tables - interior though is less interesting. Average prices. In overall, a good choice for lunch or drive through (3 mins detour from highway)

I visited yesterday the "Osteria dei Sensi" in Graz (AT) with my wife. In a friendly and nice atmosphere, we had the pleasure to taste true classic typical italian specialities like "spaghetti alla scoglio" and the more sofisticated "risotto al limone", followed by well prepared "grigliata di pesce", together with very tasteful italian white and red wine.Last but not least, the chef and the weiters are true italian guys.If you like real and true italian food, try it!

I was there few days ago while doing my Christmass shopping in Graz. Restaurant is situated above the main square, so it is very near to the center of all happenings, shops and hotels. It is a small italian restaurant. The guy who welcomed us seemd to be italian and very hospitable and nice. Food was very good and so was the staff and ambiance.Attached is what we had for the main course. For the begining we took octopus salad which was very good and after thjat some linguini with sea fruits.Prices are not too high.
