“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Roberto's Ristorante Italiano is an absolute gem! We had an incredible evening here celebrating a special occasion, and everything exceeded our expectations. The authentic Italian cuisine shines through with fresh, high-quality ingredients—their fried zucchini blossoms and smoked burrata appetizer were divine, perfectly crispy and flavorful. For mains, the homemade pasta dishes (especially the gnocchi and risotto) were cooked to perfection, with sauces that were rich yet balanced, not overpowering. The ambiance is charming and upscale—beautiful Chihuly-style chandeliers, elegant Italian decor, and a cozy yet sophisticated vibe that feels like a little escape to Italy right in Vienna. Service was warm, attentive, and welcoming; the staff (including the friendly longtime waiter) made us feel like family. Portions are generous, and the wine list pairs beautifully with the food. If you're looking for genuine, chef-driven Italian dining without pretension, Roberto's is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back—highly recommend! Grazie mille! 🍝🇮🇹”
“Such a splendid experience here! We had Italian style beef strip and foie gras, and ordered duck, steak, braised fish for entrees. Impressed by the tenderness of steak, probably cooked in low heat for a long time. The fish is among the best I had in western cuisines, good combination of roasted outskirt and softness, original seafood flavor and sauce. Usually western cuisines cook all meat with the logic (or standard) of a steak, such as duck, pork & fish. We loved the beef stripes whose flavor was well covered by the sauce. The Foie gras was great from my perspective, and a different variety from common paste form, but it does leave a strong gamey flavor afterwards. I will definite come back and try the whole fish! Last I have to mention their outstanding service which made you at ease with respect. Most waiters here seem quite aged and just walk around the restaurant like at their home, with right amount of formal attitude.”
“Delightful NYE’s dinner experience at Roberto’s - on the special prix-fixe menu set for the occasion to celebrate the arrival of 2026, great options were offered, and there was truly the embarrassment of choice! We had “assaggini” to get us started, then the true appetizer, and primo and secondo course, and dessert - all delicious, super well presented, and very creative. One member of our dinner party needed also a GF pasta option, and it was graciously made available too. The wine list at Roberto’s is simply stellar, and the service was quite attentive. The dinner event was concluded by a Prosecco toast to the New Year and a lovely taste of the ultimate post-midnight Italian tradition, cotechino with lentils! Bravissimo Roberto!”
“We had an amazing dinner here. The ribeye steak with red wine sauce was cooked perfectly, juicy and full of flavor. My wife loved the gnocchi with truffle, creamy and rich in every bite. The beef tongue was so tender it melted in our mouths. It was also our first time trying drop peppers and they turned out to be a great surprise, sweet and slightly smoky. The complimentary breads were really good too, we finished them all before the main dishes even came out. We ended the meal with their deconstructed tiramisu, which was beautifully presented and tasted incredible. The decoration and atmosphere were spot on, warm and elegant at the same time. You can tell they pay attention to every detail. Definitely one of the better Italian restaurants around and we will be back for sure.”
