Our culinary journey begins with the restaurant '87 Mamma Lina', located at Lange Str. 83 in the very center of Baden-Baden. This is a place that welcomes guests with a truly Italian atmosphere from the threshold. The restaurant's interior, decorated in warm Mediterranean colors, immediately transports us to the sunny coast of Italy. '87 Mamma Lina' is famous for its excellent pizzas, whose dough is perfectly thin and crispy, and toppings are always fresh and of the highest quality. We especially recommend trying their specialty - pizza with meatballs, which delights with its unusual combination of flavors.

The restaurant also offers a wide selection of pastas, including delicious tagliatelle with mushrooms and bacon. For lovers of the classics of Italian cuisine, we recommend vitello tonnato - veal in tuna sauce, which is prepared here according to a traditional recipe. '87 Mamma Lina is the perfect place for both a romantic dinner for two and a family dinner. The restaurant also has a heated terrace, making it possible to enjoy a meal outdoors even on cooler evenings.

Another spot on our map of Italian flavors is 'Osteria Stromboli', located on Rettigstraße 4. This small, cozy restaurant offers authentic Italian cuisine at its most traditional. The chef's specialty here is truffle paste, which delights with its intense aroma and depth of flavor. Vegetarians will appreciate the wide range of meatless dishes, including delicious ravioli with ricotta and spinach filling.

Osteria Stromboli' is also a paradise for wine lovers. The restaurant's sommelier will be happy to advise what wine goes best with the chosen dish, offering a fascinating journey through Italy's wine regions. Note the intimate nature of the restaurant - seating is limited, so advance reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and during the tourist season.

Both restaurants are easily accessible from downtown Baden-Baden. '87 Mamma Lina' can be reached on foot from the main pedestrian street in about 10 minutes, while 'Osteria Stromboli' is a short walk from the famous Caracalla thermal baths. For guests arriving by car, there are public parking lots near both establishments.

Continuing our journey through the Italian flavors of Baden-Baden, we can't miss 'Ristorante La Gondola', located on Du-Russel-Straße 2. This elegant restaurant, decorated in Venetian style, offers not only delicious dishes, but also a beautiful view of the city skyline. 'La Gondola' is famous for its excellent seafood and fish, prepared according to traditional Italian recipes. We especially recommend trying their tagliatelle with boletus and bacon, a dish that impresses with its perfect balance of flavors and textures.

The restaurant's interior, inspired by Venetian palaces, creates an extremely romantic atmosphere, perfect for special occasions or a romantic dinner for two. 'La Gondola' also offers a spacious terrace with a picturesque view of Baden-Baden - the perfect place for a lazy Sunday brunch or an afternoon espresso with tiramisu.

For those looking for a more intimate experience, we recommend 'Restaurant I' Veliero', located a bit off the beaten path on Balger Hauptstraße 31. This small, family-run restaurant offers one of the best dining experiences in the city. The chef, a native of southern Italy, prepares dishes that are a true explosion of Mediterranean flavors. The menu changes seasonally, always using the freshest local ingredients.

'I' Veliero' is famous for its excellent homemade pastas. We especially recommend trying their signature dish - spaghetti alle vongole, prepared with clams straight from the Mediterranean. For meat lovers, we also recommend their veal, which is prepared here according to a traditional Tuscan recipe.

Both restaurants offer a friendly atmosphere for families with children. At 'La Gondola' the youngest guests can enjoy a special children's menu, while 'I' Veliero' offers the option of preparing half portions for little gourmets. Note that due to the popularity of both establishments, advance reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and during the summer season.

Ristorante La Gondola' can be easily reached on foot from the city center - the walk takes about 15 minutes. 'Restaurant I' Veliero' is a bit further from the center, but is perfectly connected - bus line 201 will get you there in about 10 minutes from the main station.

To conclude our culinary journey through the Italian flavors of Baden-Baden, we can't leave out a place that is a true paradise for lovers of sweets. 'Dolce Vita', located on Hauptstraße 68, is not only a restaurant, but above all a patisserie and café, offering authentic Italian desserts and baked goods.

Dolce Vita' is the place to enjoy the best tiramisu in town - light, delicate, with a perfectly balanced taste of coffee and marsala. For those who prefer fruity flavors, we recommend panna cotta with raspberry sauce - a dessert that, with its creamy texture and intense fruit flavor, takes you straight to the sunny Amalfi Coast.

In addition to desserts, 'Dolce Vita' also offers delicious espresso and cappuccino, prepared according to the best Italian barista traditions. It's the perfect place for an afternoon break while exploring the city or for a relaxing end to the day.

It is worth mentioning that 'Dolce Vita' is not only about sweets. The restaurant also serves delicious pizzas and pastas, which can be ordered to go. We especially recommend their margherita pizza - simple, but prepared with the highest quality ingredients, which makes it taste special.

Dolce Vita' is easily accessible - it's located in the heart of Baden-Baden, within walking distance of the city's main attractions, such as the Kurhaus and Trinkhalle. It's the perfect place for a break during sightseeing or for a relaxing evening after a day at the thermal baths.

From classic pizzerias to refined restaurants to cozy patisseries, Baden-Baden has everything you need for a truly Italian feast.

Keep in mind that while all the restaurants described are family-friendly, it's a good idea to reserve a table in advance, especially during the summer season and on weekends. Most establishments offer menus in German and English, and some even in Italian, adding to their authenticity.
