"Il vero Italiano! This place is fantastic. The family that runs it is Italian. Nino Sardella was a chef in Torino, Italy, and Marcello Mastroianni was a customer, thus the name of the restaurant. This is Nino's La Dolce Vita. Look for the photo of...a much younger Nino and Marcello. Nino and his wife and their son run the restaurant. The food is excellent Northern Italian fare that includes fish dishes. The finest is the catch of the day prepared in a saltzmantel, a coating of salt. The salt is removed and the fish deboned table side. It is one of the best fish dishes I have ever had anywhere. There is a wine menu, but we were perfectly happy with the house wine, which is served in colorful ceramic pitchers, either half or full liter sizes. Their grappa di Barolo is exceptionally smooth. The ambiance is wonderful. Lush green plants grow everywhere, and the décor is pleasantly Italian. Mrs. Sardella is an artist, and many of the walls are decorated with her paintings. We first visited Nino's in 2005 when I was a visiting professor in Magdeburg. We spent another semester there in 2007 and we ate there every week. We returned for a short visit in 2012, and except that we were all a bit older, nothing had changed. It is located just north of the University campus on a quiet residential street. Yes, this is truly the good life."

"who wants to spend a nice afternoon with coffee and cake with his partner or his friend should definitely look by. there are delicious hot chocolates in various flavors, limonaden and coffee and above all self-baked cakes, torts, pie ́s and muffins or cookies. also changing hearty meals.There is no fixed selection, but the cake offer changes. it is always approx. 6 different cakes/pies/pies to choose from, as a creation you don't get anywhere else. at least one is always vegan. for a piece of torte you pay 3,50€ and can also take them in. for children there is a small play."

"Schönes Ambiente aber leider wurde unsere Bestellung vergessen. Bei Nachfrage wurde uns eine Geschichte von einem kranken Küchenchef serviert... Nachbar Tische wurden aber zeitnah bedient. Vielleicht hatten wir nur Pech aber zum Hochzeit war das eben störend... Bedienung war trotz allem sehr nett und das Essen gut."

"it was not a pure Croatian cuisine. that was delicious. the price a little raised. personal friendly. my partner had cevapcici with pommes and 3 dips. all delicious except that the pommes were not handmade (pommes as from the deep freezer nix special we know definitiw better). I had black medals filled with plums in the speckmantel with a foil potato with cucumber very delicious. as a dessert we have glowed cream brulee. for 7,90€ it was too little but very tasty. all in all we were fed and it tasted us."

"There were of us for Friday night dinner, so the place was busy, but the service was very good. The menu is interesting, and for people (like me) who do not want too much exotic Asian, there were many choices. Those who wanted full-on...exotic, were also able to get it. It is fair to say that the main fare is Japanese, but there are other Asian tastes, as well. The food is beautifully presented, and the portions are of a good size. By accident, we went on a walking tour, and as part of it, were taken here for lunch a few days later. This was a set menu, but it was the same high standard of food, which to me, confirms the quality standard of the restaurant. Great location, expected prices...."
