The food was outstanding and really value for money. This restaurant is a must go. It is rarely that restaurants leave a lasting memory but this one definitely did.
The asparagus in beer batter with salad and yoghurt garlic source as a starter were such a great different "spargel"experience. Wow.
Then I had an amazing, done to perfection, "Zwiebel Rostbraten" and my wife had the "Schweinebaeckchen". What a culinary experience.
The people in Aalen can be happy and lucky to have such a great place for fine dining where you get real value for money and all that in a great location with professional, friendly and correct service.
Go there and enjoy!

Friendly staff in local costume were amused that I wanted home made swabian spatzle (well I had travelled a long way from England for lunch). Set in the hills you can have a lovely walk to work up an appetite or walk off the calories.

This is a must do in Aalen. The food is outstanding and the owner and staff are very intent to provide a great dining experience. Nice wine selection, incredible cappucino, and definitley try the house lasagna. Never had a meal that was anything less than fabulous. Closed on Monday so plan around the schedule but I visit every single trip to Aalen!

Entered the place hoping for a bit of piece and quiet, along with a coffee and some ice cream. The bar staff shouted from behind the counter that I would not be served at an inside table (most of their business was admittedly outside) and that I would have to come and get my things. It would not have been a detour for her. I think she was just annoyed.

It's the second time I'm visiting the specific restaurant and still have a very good opinion.Realistic italian food in a german city. I would recommend it especially for pasta and pizzas, slthough we tried a plate with meat and pasta it wasn' t exactly as the original pasta and pizza. Also very good prices, friendly personel and good service..worths a visit definitly!

Still one of the best places in Aalen to go if you want some nice basic ( in a good way) food in the evenings. Especially for spare rips or anything else meaty, it benefits from the butchery on site.

Have been visiting this Restaurant since more than 30 years. There is consistency in food and service since all these years.
Personal attention by the owner of the restaurant is guaranteed. It's wonderful homecoming every time I visit.
Important however is to book a table well in advance, because this restaurant is popular in the region and quickly sold out each day.

Dein Pizzeria Salvatore ist ein familiengeführter Betrieb und das merkt man beim guten Service.
Das Essen ist lecker und die Portionen groß.

While visiting a friend, we decided to go out eating in Aalen and decided on Greek. The restaurant was full when we got there. The owner approached us in such a friendly way and shook our hands and offered us an Ouzo while we waited on a table to be free. As we got to our table we received another Ouzo and then ordered our meals. We first ordered appetizers. Mine was breaded Feta and it was excellent. Then I ordered the only vegetarian meal on their menu, the "Kritharaki" and it was a rice dish served in Metaxa sauce and baked with cheese. An excellent choice. My friend had a seafood dish that she thoroughly enjoyed.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was very pleasing and warm and the kind of place you want to just sit hours at and chat, eat and drink. The service was extremely friendly.
I would love to go back there again when I visit my friend in the future.

Great menu in this American style restaurant. Fantastic ribs and steaks and more. They had a special on, Bison steak served with fries and a very large salad. Meat was cooked perfectly, medium great tatste, very tender. Staff are very friendly, pricing great for what you get. Highly recommended, try to reserve before you go, especially if the weather is bad. I side is not that big, so not that many tables. In the summer there is a very large beergarden, so not a big problem. Well known in the area, close to town centre, free parking at the rear. Been there 6 times now, always good.
