Absolute Empfehlung- wir wurden sehr sehr freundlich bedient, das Essen war mit frischen Zutaten zubereitet und sehr lecker- die Soße gab es zum Schnitzel extra dazu, damit es knusprig bleibt- das fand ich sehr gut. Die Preise sind für diese Qualität wirklich top. Ein uriges Lokal von nebenan.

Wir sind für drei Tage auf dem Knaus Campingplatz. Der Italiener vor Ort sieht nicht einladend aus, also die Umgebung auf Google abgesucht. Wir wurden fündig und absolut nicht enttäuscht. Mega freundliche Leute, super gutes Essen und absolut überragende Preisleistung. Wir kommen am Dienstag direkt nochmal. Geheimtipp: Grünkohl mit Mettwurst und der Lavakuchen aber auch die Schnitzel waren super lecker.
