Zum Löwen - Gießen

Great todays special food. One of the best foodplaces in Giessen so far. Todays special includes soup starter. Pizza does not look very great :/

We were recommended this restaurant by our hotel concierge and informed that it was one of the oldest buildings in Gießen.The restaurant is located deep within the pedestrianised shopping centre and was in easy walking distance to our hotel on Westanlage.We ordered a range of starters; the tomato with the mozzarella was sweet and flavoursome and the bruschetta was also very good. I ordered a large steak with pepper sauce and the knife glided through the meat. I would have preferred the pepper sauce to be on the side and not poured over the steak but this is a minor point. Everyone else around the table appeared to enjoy their main courses too with dishes ranging from calf liver, calamari and pizza.Desserts were standard fare, i.e. ice cream, cheese board etc and they even had English language menus for those of us that spoke no German or Italian.

For Italian food lovers. Best Spaghetti marinara ai cattogio in town.. A well assortment of Italian dishes, fresh sliced Parma ham..

Myself and a colleague enjoyed coming here a couple of times, nice food and atmosphere all the staff spoke English which was a bonus too, the food is nice and the price not too.bad considering its in the centre

If you are that kind of person who admires that sweet guy who tries any kind of bug at Travel channel, this is definitely your place! Who would ever expect to order the authentic carbonara and get experid backon at an Italian , at least as they claim, restaurant. The worst part is that the waitor just didn't mind I left my food almost untouched!The pizzas were good enough, as my male and hungry family members said. You get my point of view!
