"My husband and I were in Hamburg for several days. We had read promising reviews of Il Buco Ristorante before arriving in Hamburg and made a reservation for an early dinner on a Friday evening. We had such a good experience at dinner on Friday that we went back there for dinner two nights later. It did not disappoint the second go-around - it was even better! The restaurant is lovely - cozy and comfortable. And the food is absolutely delicious!! We ate different things both nights, and it was all amazing! The food tastes as good as it looks...photos of our food are included. Thank you for a memorable dining experience! 😊"

Restaurants in Hamburg
Hidden down a side street off Hansaplatz, this neighborhood favorite is easily missed, but it’s worth seeking out for its excellent plates of vitello tonnato (cold sliced veal with a creamy tuna sauce), saltimbocca (marinated veal with prosciutto and herbs), and truffle pasta. The restaurant's intimate atmosphere, similar to grandmother's living room, extends beyond the candlelight and banquette seating to the amicable staff and spoken menu, which features many of the filling and comforting pasta, meat, and fish dishes typical of rustic Italian cuisine.
10 grandiose Italiener in Hamburg
Il Buco heißt zwar übersetzt „das Loch“, bei Il Buco ist aber zum Glück eher von einer gemütlichen Höhle zu sprechen. Der Italiener am Hansaplatz liegt im Keller, gehört mit seiner Terrasse im Sommer aber zu den schönsten Außengastronomien in St. Georg, von welcher man das Treiben beobachten kann. Die Speisekarte ist in ihrer Schlichtheit genial, beherbergt sie neben klassischen Vorspeisen wie Vitello tonnato auch Parmaschinken mit warmen Maronen und Honigsud.
11 gemütliche Italiener in Hamburg
Das kleine Restaurant in St. Georg hat gerade einmal Platz für acht Tische – die kuschelige Atmosphäre ist also schon einmal garantiert. Und das trotz der Nähe zum sehr trubeligen Hansaplatz. Eine Karte gibt es im Il Buco nicht, dafür sehr nettes Personal, das die Gerichte vorträgt und erklärt.
