Ristorante-Pizzeria San Giovanni

During my stay in Vienna, I ate here multiple times. I had a congress in the city center, but had a hotel at the edge of the city, so I was glad to find a place with high quality food and service near my hotel. Even though this place is situated near a busy road, it didn't feel as such. The hedge around the terrace takes care of that. The waiting staff is correct and helpful, quick to spot it when you're ready to order or without a drink. The food is very good, with a mix of classics and original dishes. Interestingly, they also had schnitzels, which seems to be one of the only things the locals would eat. Starters are really good, so don't hesitate to have a full meal here. Coffee is good. All the food is very affordable, so good value for money. If you're in this part of the city, I'd recommend you have lunch or dinner here at least once. It's conveniently located near a tube station. If you're on a budget, you might even want to consider coming out of the city center to dine here. They deserve to be busier.

Fantastic Food and attentive service. The owner and waiters know what they are doing. I cannot emphasise how consistently good the food is. Lovely wines too. Sit down available or take away available. A separate smoking room too. A garden too. On main street. Pizzas very good. My favourite is the Pumpkin Tortellini (Halloween time) the best i've ever tasted. A short walk from the tube stop Ober St Veit line U4 and only 20 mins to Wien Mitte. You won't refret the effort to travel to this place. It seems to be open all the time!

Moderate prizes, nice waitress, average waiting times but outdoors a little loud by the main road. Overall maybe the best italian dishes in Wien.

We have been back here several times since my first review. I am pleased to say that the quality of the food and wines are still excellent especially the pizzas. The service keen and friendly. The staff work very hard and the owner is a gentleman. Sit inside or outside.

The first indication that made me suspicious when ordering was that nobody in the restaurant knew what all'amatriciana is. For this reason I ordered pizza and it was fine. My gf ordered spaghetti Bolognese. That was the worst Bolognese sauce we ever had! Very little tomato sauce full with granted carrots. It was not eatable and we left it. The garden can be improved as there were spider nets on the fences. Will not return. Few years ago it was better.
