I really appreciated that they served complimentary bread and pinsel at every table — both were absolutely delicious! The house-made olive oil, cozy atmosphere, and friendly service made it feel like we were truly dining somewhere in Italy. The pinzza is a must-try — highly recommended! I’m not sure why someone mentioned there was no Italian finger food in their review. There definitely is — in fact, this is the only place where I’ve found fried zucchini flowers on the menu. We did have to wait a little longer for our food, but that was totally understandable given how many pinzzas we ordered. Would definitely love to come back!

Das Restaurant Essenza ist ein absoluter Geheimtipp! Die Weinauswahl ist hervorragend und perfekt abgestimmt. Besonders an warmen Sommerabenden ist die Terrasse ein Traum – gemütlich und stilvoll zugleich. Die Atmosphäre lädt zum Verweilen ein, man vergisst völlig die Zeit. Unsere vier Stunden dort vergingen wie im Flug – wir kommen sicher wieder!
