If you are that kind of person who admires that sweet guy who tries any kind of bug at Travel channel, this is definitely your place! Who would ever expect to order the authentic carbonara and get experid backon at an Italian , at least as they claim, restaurant. The worst part is that the waitor just didn't mind I left my food almost untouched! The pizzas were good enough, as my male and hungry family members said. You get my point of view!

Tasty Italien food in Giessen

Mar 2015 • family

We (3 persons) had a nice lunch which included gnocci, spaghetti bolognese and a combination plate of filled pasta. All the dishes were generous in size and very tasty. The house wine went well with the food. If you are looking for a reasonably priced place for lunch with decent food, you can't go wrong here.

Attentive staff; good pizza, extremely cozy

Dec 2014 • friends

This restaurant is one of the most comfortable and cozy places to eat and relax in Gießen. The pizza always seems to hit the spot and the menu is full of numerous choices. We made reservations which appeared to be unnecessary, but were told that during the Christmas season that a Sunday evening is considered slow. The appetizer of mozzarella, tomatoes and basil is delightful and was very fresh. The wine list is comprised only of Italian varieties. The wait staff is attentive, approachable, and helpful. Pricewise very reasonable. Das Restaurant ist wohl sehr gemütlich und die Pizzas schmecken. Leider wird nur italienischer Wein angeboten. Trotzdem ist das Restaurant empfehlungswert.

Very torn on a proper rating for Zum Loewen

Sep 2013 • solo

I travel solo, a great deal. I am sensitive that during busy times, many restaurants may not want singles occupying their tables. But when I approached Zum Loewen, there were several vacant tables. Nonetheless, the wait staff made it clear that they did not want to serve me. I stayed because I noticed another patron enjoying the mussels, and they looked darn good. Well I got the mussels, and a beer and it was darn good. So I would give them five for food and one for service, they netted a three.

German name, Italian cuisine: nice combination, finally!

Mar 2013 • business

A warm and friendly, prompt and impeccable service, Italian specialties: pizza, pasta, salads but German specialties too. Intimate, good for a romantic dinner or a business dinner. Good taste , fair prices! I will come back!

On Mondays, they are open

In Giessen on business on Monday during end of Carnivale and wanted traditional German food. However, all the German restaurants were closed. Found this authentic Italian restaurant was open. Had Brushetta and the Three Pasta dish. Both were very good with large pils. Finished with tiramazu and grappo which were also very good. Service was authentic Italian as waiter only ask if I needed something only when I got his attention. Other patrons were lively and added to atmosphere. €24 for 2 large pils plus food mentioned

Germans take Italian food very seriously

Nov 2011 • business

I have continual good luck eating Italian in Germany and this beautiful half-timbered building where Goethe ate served an excellent lunch. Service was prompt and fast, though as I watched people around me, I wish I had tried the pizza.

I don't have to.

Pretty excessive prices for a dining experience that I would call mediocre at best. A nice smile is obviously not included in the price of the €5 you pay for a soft drink here.

Always a pleasure!

We have been to the Lion many times and love Sabatino's fantastic cuisine and outstanding service. Consistently highly recommended. Not cheap, but worth its price!

Not good

May 2024 • couples

The food came quicker than the drinks. It tasted accordingly. We then had to wait half an hour for the bill. Not recommended.

Once and never again.

Nov 2023 • friends

I've never written a review, but I have to do it here. Because I've never eaten such a bad pizza. And my girlfriend's pasta was very salty. As were the prices. Never again
