The best street food venues of type "Italian Cuisine" in Lower Saxony
The pizzaioli don’t just have a knack for baking the tender pizza dough to perfection at 480 degrees in 90 seconds after letting it rest for several days. The toppings are also prepared here with great care and precision. When it comes to the best pizzas in town, Bestia is right up there with the best.
A lively culinary hotspot in Emsig. At the heart of their offerings is sourdough, which is transformed into magnificent pizzas or paninis in the stone oven. Many guests also stop by just for a glass of wine and some snacks. The selection may not be huge, but the quality more than makes up for it.
Just a laid-back pasta bar. The pasta is freshly made and served in dishes like puttanesca or carbonara. Pair that with a nice glass of wine—and you’re all set for the end of the workday! That’s also when the bar is at its liveliest.
After work, this small restaurant fills up with food lovers, because owner Giorgio Marchioretti knows how to do more than just fill their stomachs. He likes to source his ingredients directly from his native Piedmont, because compromising on quality is out of the question!
For many years, Francesca & Fratelli’s pizzas were the city’s top choice. Today, the local restaurant chain has to share the top spot with other competitors. But that doesn’t take away from the pizza-eating pleasure of those who make their way to one of the four locations.
They serve pizzas (like “Burratina”) and pasta (like “Aglio e Olio”) at a good value. The atmosphere is nice. Two things are a bit unusual: The restaurant is attached to the tennis clubhouse and borders the zoo… If you hear loud cackling, it might be monkeys.
Bernardo and Marcella Locacciato’s warm hospitality and fresh, unpretentious Italian cuisine attract a large crowd—especially after work—who stop by briefly before heading home to recharge their spirits with a plate of pasta, a glass of wine, and a chat.
When the place is bustling, you quickly realize that the restaurant’s atmosphere thrives on its regulars. People are chatting, drinking—and, of course, eating: sometimes they enjoy a full meal, other times just a snack, but always with an Italian twist. Great pizzas!
What makes Gianni special is that they really know their stuff here—whether it’s making great pizzas and pasta, or dishes like “Saltimbocca alla romana” or sea bream with olives and cherry tomatoes, which you can order here without any trouble. Perfect for any day of the week!
They also serve steaks and leg of lamb, but guests mainly choose from the wide variety of hearty pizza and pasta dishes. It’s not just the pleasant outdoor patio that draws residents from the Kleefeld neighborhood: The restaurant is open all week, including for lunch.
Some say this place serves the best pizza in town, which is quite a claim considering restaurants like Ombra and Bestia. In the List neighborhood, Bistro Da Toni is undoubtedly one of the better restaurants that’s also reasonably priced—they even offer an affordable lunch special!
