"This very smart and attractive restaurant has an unusual outside seating area. On the main road side is a large stone picture frame water feature with many water spouts pouring down like a waterfall. The inside is very attractive and looks elegant and comfortable. My dining partner and I sat outside. She was not very hungry so has a wild leaf salad with a raspberry dressing. The dressing tasted great, the wild leaf salad & herb leaves were a little too bitter for her. I had a dish of tagliatelle with chanterelle mushrooms, garlic, white wine, cherry tomatoes and spring onion. The sauce was a little too runny but the flavours and al dente mushrooms tasted very good. My house chardonnay was also crisp with a light touch of fruit. Their 'fresh' fish dishes at over EUR 30 are top of the range prices more in common with Frankfurt. I would however go there again."

"Seit Jahren gehen wir in mehr oder minder regelmässigen Abständen zu Attilio in das Mare e Monti. Ich könnte eigentlich in 99,9% aller Besuche eine 5 von 5 Punkten- Bewertung abgeben. Doch eigentlich sollte / darf man es gar nicht, denn sonst wird es immer schwieriger eine Reservierung zu bekommen.Kurzfristig klappt eigentlich nie, aber letzte Woche hatten wir dann doch Glück. Ich kamvon einer Geschäftsreise zurück, einfach angerufen und es war doch tatsächlich ein Tisch für 2 verfügbar.Attilio hatte wieder einiges an "Schmankerln" auf der Schiefertafel und die Vorspeise, die wir hatten war sogar überhaupt nicht gelistet (manchmal hat die Küche noch ein "Secreto" parat).Wir hatten eine schöne Flasche Nero d'Avolo, eine Flasche San Pellegrino, die "geheime" Vorspeiseplatte mit luftgetrocknetem, leicht geräuchertem Entrecote (ähnlich Büdnerfleisch, jedoch mit einem sichtbaren Fettanteil wie Schinken) +zweierlei frische Salami im Fenchel- bzw. Pfeffermantel.Das Hauptgericht war ein "Bistecca alla griglia" und ein "US-Prime-Steak" jeweils mit Gemüse. Jedes einzelne Gericht war eine Freude für den Gaumen. Abgerundet wurde das Essen mit 2 Espressi.Leute, das ist "Dolce Vita", pure Lebenslust und dazu noch zu einem fairen Preis. Attilio und Team - you are the best in town!"

"The place was packed on an early Saturday night, but we had reserved. At first we were assigned a tiny table at the hallway where everyone who needs to go to the bathroom passes closely behind one's back. We expressed our dissatisfaction with this and then were offered a table close to the entrance that was somewhat better. Why not from the beginning? The staff was stressed and each time a different person appeared at our table. Some were friendly, others curt. The atmosphere was loud and hectic, which was not helped by the very narrow spacing of tables. In any case, in due course our order was taken and it did not take too long to arrive. This was possible, because clearly much of the food is prepared in advance and only heated up. For example, the Tajine dish was served in one, but it was clearly not prepared in it. The food tastes ok, but we would have expected more seasoning, it was a little bland. Portions are generous, perhaps even too large. There is a short list of bottled wines, but prices are marked up steeply. Altogether, the price tag seems a little high for the delivered quality. In summary, while there is nothing deeply wrong with Djadoo, we were left with a mere average impression. But they were turning three or four seatings per table, so many other customers are clearly more pleased."

"This family-run restaurant has long been our favorite. We first ate here in 2000 when we moved to Graefenhausen. Meanwhile we have moved away, but we still stop by to eat when we are in the neighborhood. The prices are still very reasonable, the quality is excellent, and the service is very friendly. The homemade bean soup (Bohnensuppe, 3.00€) is a good appetizer. For a main, we like the ground meat filled with cheese (Spezial Plejeskavica, 9.90€) or the schnitzel in a creamy cheese sauce (Schnitzel König Tomislav, 10.50€). Both are served with fries and include the house salad. Opening hours are daily from 11:30-14:30 and 17:30-24:00 except Tuesday. After 13 years, we were happy to find the Family Donlic there to welcome us for dinner. Nothing has changed, it is still excellent!"

"The hotel is located in the Arheilgen district. From the outside still quite inconspicuous, so it surprises all the more with a beautiful, upscale modern interior warm colors, fresh flowers, candles all matched, plus a friendly, warm-hearted welcome, we were positively surprised and it had taken us for the restaurant immediately. If the food should be good then there was nothing against a nice evening and what should I say we were not disappointed. In the warm months a beautiful outdoor area invites you to stay. There is a wide range of specialties from the Balkans, for example Muckalica, Bosnische Schnitzel, Cevapcici, Hirtensalat etc. but also German dishes Rumpsteak, Filet, Lende....... as well as fish scampispieße, Zanderfilet, Scholle. ... and some vegetarian dishes can be found. Who is plagued by little hunger is here also toasts, soups, vasper bowls etc. All seasonal offers that change daily are added. We enjoyed as aperitif : Quittensecco Prosecco with Quittensirup very good Hugo good appetizer : roasted anchovies with warm olive oil bread Prima As main dishes followed: grilled Calamari with potato spinach run very tasty and typical Croatian as our friendly service, while serving mentioned at this great taste, I plan to move to Croatia in thoughts already next summer vacation. Lamb back with princess beans and roast carafe meat tender and juicy, roast potatoes could have been a bit more delicious. Winter salad various leaf salads with red bees, freshly grilled mushrooms, scallops, shrimps and creeping foothills of the Burner grill plate various grilled meat with Djuvecreis The portions were generous, a good price-performance ratio, we were completely satisfied."
