The penne carbonara was completely oily, bacon instead of ham. There were eight of us there, and apparently paying individually wasn't possible; apparently, they don't do math here. One person would have to pay for everyone. Never ever!

I don't know how the good reviews came about. I was there with my wife. Beforehand, it's not a normal pizzeria. More like a fast-food chain. The only good thing was the pizza crust. Barely any toppings, no flavor, and very expensive. When someone asked if I was satisfied, I pointed out to the young man that there was almost no topping. His response—and I understand it completely—was to turn away and leave. Incredibly rude. Of course, we left more than half. We definitely won't be going back.

Happy Italy?? More like mad Italy! The service was terrible and rude. The pizza was just thrown on our table and almost hit my girlfriend. The pizza wasn't cooked, and the cheese tasted like it had been sitting in the cupboard for 10 years. We weren't allowed to sit anywhere, only at a dirty table. It wasn't worth paying for, and we wanted to run out of the restaurant. FUCKING MESS.

If you're looking for food poisoning, you should definitely eat here. The ice cream has been thawed and refrozen several times. Refreezing thawed ice cream can lead to an increase in bacteria and ice crystals. The ice cream was full of crystals, and to top it all off, I found a dead, frozen fly in my scoop. Disgraceful. Get the coffee ready for the NVWA inspector.

Absolutely terrible! The service took ages, and after I found a fly in my dessert, they couldn't even take anything off the bill as an apology for nearly eating a fly. This was because the food was ordered through a social deal, so they wouldn't have been able to remove any loose material. It was disgusting. God knows how long that fly had been in the ice.

The waitress and the kitchen staff were really nice, but the food really didn't taste good at all. We had a Margherita pizza, a tuna pizza, and pasta. The pizzas had absolutely no flavor, not even the tuna one 😀 My husband told me to try the pasta, and I immediately had to spit it out. It had flavor, but it wasn't really tasty... what a shame! But it's actually great there; there's a special room for kids to play!

Ich war mit einer Freundin zusammen in Happy Italy essen. Wir bewerten zusammen immer die Restaurants, wo wir essen gehen, und unser Fazit von diesem Restaurant ist: Wir haben 2 Pastas geholt und Colas für Getränke. (1. Der Geschmack) 7/10 Der Geschmack der beiden Pastas war sehr lecker. Bei der ,,Ai Funghi‘‘-Pasta waren die Pilze nicht so lecker, aber das ist Geschmackssache. Bei der ,,Meatballs‘‘-Pasta war alles perfekt, sie hat meinen Geschmack perfekt angesprochen. (2. Wie das Essen angerichtet, warm, Aussehen, Zeit, Hunger und Auge gereizt) 9/10 Das Essen war sehr gut angerichtet, es ist heiß und sehr schnell angekommen und hat den Hunger- und Augengefühl gereizt. (3. Preis von den Gerichten) 8/10 Der Preis der beiden Pastas war sehr gut. ,,Ai Funghi‘‘ 12,45 Euro und die ,,Meatballs‘‘ 13,25 Euro. Wir fanden, dass die 0,2 Cola-Getränke zu teuer sind für so wenig (es gab keine andere Größe), also wenn man viel Durst hat, muss man sich viele Getränke bestellen. (4. Essen/Getränke/Nachtisch-Auswahl) 10/10 Die Auswahl des Essens, der Getränke und des Nachtischs war perfekt. Es gab für jeden etwas, viel Auswahl, auch vegetarisch. Beim Dessert hatte sie auch eine gute Auswahl, die nicht üblich ist – also sehr gut. (5. Ambiente) 7/10 Wir fanden, dass die Tische sehr klein waren und dass sie sehr eng hingestellt waren zu den anderen. Die Atmosphäre war sehr gut, nur manchmal sehr laut wegen der Musik und der offenen Küche, aber sonst war alles sehr schön designt. Es hatte einen italienischen Touch. (6. Personal) 10/10 Das Personal war sehr nett und hat uns in Ruhe essen lassen. Wenn wir was brauchten, musste man nur einmal dem Personal Bescheid geben, dass man noch was bestellen möchte, und dann wurden die Gerichte sehr schnell aufgenommen. Auch wo wir am Anfang aufgenommen worden sind, war das Personal schnell da und hat uns zu unserem Tisch gebracht. (7. Weitere Empfehlung) 10/10 Wir empfehlen das Restaurant, weil man viele Gerichte zur Auswahl hat. Es gibt für große Gruppen perfekte Tische, die für mindestens mehr als 10 Personen sind. Für die Kinder gibt es ein extra Menü, und wenn sie gegessen haben, gibt es auch einen Spielbereich. Und man kann sich die Pasta-Sorten aussuchen, falls man bestimmte Nudelarten nicht mag. (8. Toilette) 1/10 Wir fanden, dass die Toilette nicht in Ordnung war, weil der Wasserhahn nicht funktioniert hat und die Toilette auch nur okay aussah. (9. Portionsgrößen) 10/10 Die Portionsgrößen waren perfekt. (10. WOW-Moment) 5/10 Es gab einen leichten WOW-Moment bei der Sommerkarte, dass sie einen Ice Cold Speculoos Latte hatten, aber wo wir ihn bestellt hatten, war der nicht so lecker und hat unsere Hoffnung wieder sinken lassen. Fazit: Man kann mit großen Gruppen perfekt dort essen, weil es für jeden etwas geben wird an Essen. Die Preise sind auch sehr gut. 77/100 Punkte

I was there with my girlfriend because we'd seen the Cinema deal, and it said everywhere that you get a pizza and a cinema voucher for about €15.95 per person. Unfortunately, we ended up paying €50, since apparently, drinks aren't included and the pizzas we ordered weren't "covered by the discount." After this, we walked out, irritated and disappointed. Luckily, we still had our cinema vouchers, but apparently, they only had about €7 on them. So, we ended up paying EXTRA for the movie. The deal turned out to be completely false; you pay for the cinema voucher, plus the pizza, and on top of that, the cinema ticket. This HappyItaly deal was a scam for us. They advertise all sorts of things, but nothing is accurate, which is truly a shame. I never write reviews about these kinds of things, but this time my experience was so bad that I really want to warn others about it. It's all about money. We won't be going back there anytime soon either, the food was definitely NOT worth the money, you'd be better off getting a croquette sandwich from the Appie.

I've been to Happy Italy Enschede three times in seven years. I find it a good, affordable restaurant. Coincidentally, this was my third time using a social deal for €9.45. They have a wide selection of pasta, pizza, salads, and desserts. The atmosphere is great, and the staff is friendly. We didn't have to wait long for our food this time (unfortunately, we did last time, but you can't always be lucky). Drinks are a bit pricey at €3.75 each, but still affordable considering the price of the food. I'll definitely be back!

The worst carbonara of my life: it went in slowly and came out quickly. I only ate it because I was hungry. Italians in the kitchen, but they don't know how to make a real carbonara. No pecorino, just parmesan—it's okay, but it's not what you need. And then they added cream! Every time this pasta is made like this, a grandmother in Rome dies.

Very nice big place with very fast service. We were not allowed to sit near the play area with our child because then the waiters would have to walk too much. The pizzas are covered in black ash from the oven. Your hands and plate are still black from the ash after eating. When you kindly give that feedback to the waiter, he laughs it off with the message "I like that just as much"... My wife's pasta was ok, no more than that. A non-alcoholic beer costs more than 5 euros... Ideal for a quick bite and with promotions via social deal or the cinema combo it is certainly not too expensive. Only regret is that they can't bake a pizza without a black base.

Good food, but the service needs improvement We’ve been to Happy Italy several times, and unfortunately, good service has been rare. The staff is often slow and seems unmotivated or unfriendly. On the bright side, the food is good. The pizzas are tasty and well-made, and the salads are fresh and enjoyable. There’s a kids’ play area, which is helpful for families, but the playground is quite basic. If you sit near it, the noise can be overwhelming, making it hard to enjoy a relaxed meal.

Recensie voor Happy Italië (via Social Deal) ⭐☆☆☆☆ (1/5) We hadden een Social Deal geboekt bij Happy Italië, maar helaas viel de ervaring erg tegen. Bij aankomst duurde het al behoorlijk lang voordat we ons eerste drankje kregen. Toen het eten kwam, werd het helemaal frustrerend: mijn pasta kwam als eerste, maar mijn vriendin moest daarna minstens een kwartier wachten op haar pizza. Samen gezellig eten zat er dus niet in. Toen mijn drankje op was, werd er niet uit zichzelf gevraagd of ik nog iets wilde drinken. We zaten daar te wachten, maar er kwam niemand langs. Dat geeft je echt het gevoel dat je vergeten wordt. Al met al een erg tegenvallende ervaring. De bediening was traag en niet attent, en dat haalt helaas veel weg van de gezelligheid waar je op hoopt tijdens een avondje uit eten. Hopelijk wordt er iets gedaan met deze feedback, want het concept is leuk — maar de uitvoering laat momenteel veel te wensen over.

Review for Happy Italië (via Social Deal) ⭐☆☆☆☆ (1/5) We had booked a Social Deal at Happy Italië, but unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. Upon arrival, it took quite a while before we got our first drink. When the food arrived, it became really frustrating: my pasta came first, but my girlfriend had to wait at least fifteen minutes for her pizza. So having a nice meal together was out of the question. When my drink was finished, they didn't ask me if I wanted another drink. We sat there waiting, but no one came by. That really gives you the feeling that you are being forgotten. All in all, a very disappointing experience. The service was slow and not attentive, and that unfortunately takes away a lot of the coziness you hope for during a night out. (the ladies who work there have no idea how the hospitality industry works and need to be better trained and monitored because you are losing a lot of money this way with such bunglers working!!! Hopefully something will be done with this feedback, because the concept is nice - but the execution currently leaves a lot to be desired.

Bought a Social deal on Father's Day. Reception was very strange and the service clearly did not make us feel welcome. Were assigned a table from far away. Someone was immediately at the table for drinks and the menu. Pizza and two pastas were ready in no time. Shrimp were still cold. Portions were fine. Only staff was absolutely not friendly and did not/almost not speak Dutch, except for 1 waitress. The food was almost thrown on the table. Pizza cut with a blunt knife. For dessert only the choice of 2 balls from 6 flavors. Also on the table within 3 minutes. In short, we were outside again after 40 minutes. The concept of this 'food shed' is completely ours here.

Nice place to get a pizza in a very convenient location nearby the station and centrum.

I prefer to get a pizza and eat at home since the restaurant is quite noisy and there are quite a lot of people usually, so keep it in mind. Overall, a nice place to get some food, but a little bit pricey.

I was totally wrong about this restaurant! I ordered a social deal for 13 people for 13.95 euros, including 2 small children who wanted to be close to the ball pit so that we can keep an eye on this. Unfortunately we couldn't choose that, even though all the places inside were empty. Also, no coloring page and pencils are handed out to the children. That was only for children's menus, but we had ordered adult menus. We also had to look for staff who could speak a word of Dutch, so I wonder where they come from. The service was just cold and unpleasant! Smoking on the terrace was only allowed by the staff, we were told, not by customers! A bit strange I would say. So I didn't really enjoy my birthday with my children and 5 grandchildren. Especially because there was no visibility either. A waitress who spoke Dutch was helpful and friendly. I would not recommend going here with small children! Even the pizzas were not cut into slices, so you had to do that yourself with a blunt knife that you could barely cut through! Once but never again!

Happy Italy is a popular eatery in the center of Enschede, known for its large portions of pizzas and pasta at affordable prices. The restaurant is aimed at families and offers a child-friendly environment with an indoor play paradise and special children's menus, such as the "decorated pizza" and the Unicorn pizza. Pros: child-friendly: The restaurant has an indoor playground and offers special children's menus, making it attractive for families. - Affordable: Large portions at reasonable prices make it a budget-friendly choice. - Vegan and vegetarian options: With 12 vegan and 19 vegetarian dishes, there is something for everyone. Downsides: we did have to wait a while for our order, but with good weather that was not such an issue.

It's more Unhappy Italy. My daughter convinced me to eat here. Partly because it wouldn't be expensive. Which was disappointing when I saw the map. They charge quite high prices. The two of us paid €55. The atmosphere of the restaurant is excellent. The service was pleasant. But the food was just bad! Nothing was fresh. As an appetizer we had bruscetta, the tomato was limp and so was the arugula. As a main course I had a pasta verdura which was very disappointing. The vegetables had clearly been frozen and were very soggy. The olives had the quality of a €0.59 jar. My daughter had a pizza that she barely ate half of because the meat was not very flavorful and fresh. We won't come here again.

The food is delicious, many variations in pizzas and pastas. Affordable too. Helped neatly and quickly. We have been coming there with good faith for years. If something goes wrong, they resolve it promptly. Great service and never disappointed. Atmospheric dining opportunity and our children like to come there, they can play in the play area so that mom and dad can eat and talk quietly without having to pay much attention to the kids. Here you can simply eat well and highly recommended.

Service is poor and radiates little positivity. We had to wait a long time to take our order and that for the fast Italian, what you could call an Italian, it's fun for the kids, but even if it were there. If he were to sit any longer, he would not be missed. Portions are getting smaller and you pay more, they are not improving!

We had a super tasty and large pizza and a pasta dish. We really enjoyed it. The atmosphere inside is huge and very stylish! Insane and worth a visit. Price performance is right and the service was good!

The food came really quickly. Pasta wasn't that tasty now, normally it tastes better. Pizza was good. Staff nice. And it's great that children have a play area there. Of course it would be nicer if it were close to the seats, but better than not at all. We thought it was great

Great place to quickly eat a pizza or pasta. A small play area for the children. Could be a little cleaner.

Today we had a delicious meal at Happy Italy and what great service we received from Emre Sarica! From the moment we sat down, we were served in a super friendly manner. Emre was not only extremely nice and polite, but also very fast in taking and delivering our order. He had an eye for detail and made sure we didn't miss anything. Really great service that made the evening even better. Thank you, Emre, for the fantastic service – we will definitely be back!”

Damn, ordered 2 pastas with chicken. No taste and then a very bad stomach ache. A very big recommendation. Never eat at Happy Italy again. Thanks for ruining my day too!!

Daughter had a voucher for a free pizza. At checkout it is stated that a reservation had to be made online, so the full amount must be paid. That they have had more problems with this but that they can't do anything with it. Stunned, but at that time there was no hard evidence, especially after we saw at Thuis.online that the voucher is valid when making a reservation or if you come by spontaneously. Very customer unfriendly and bad.

Wanted to eat a pizza with a friend. It said on the website that you could get a second pizza for free. “Make a reservation or come by spontaneously,” it says on the website with that voucher. Requested the voucher well in advance and when we "spontaneously" visited today, we were told that you had to reserve in advance, so we just had to pay the full amount. They said this problem happened more often with the voucher, but nothing could be done about it. If this had also been stated on the website, that you HAD to make a reservation, I would of course have done so, but it was not there. So it's a shame, but I won't be going back to this again.

Kids vinden de (sweet)pizzas hier heerlijk. Is echt een massa gezins pizzeria. Wat ik groot nadeel vind is dat wanneer t druk is de pizza er eerder is dan het drinken. Eerste rondje drinken werd na 35 min pas gebracht. Tweede ronde na 30 min tien pizza al op was. Er wordt veel geld misgelopen door deze slechte drank service.

A decent place to stop by for pizzas and pastas. The service was quite slow when I visited, but the food was alright and I particularly liked the lemonade options they had.

Ate here with my boyfriend. It took a while before we got a spot in the restaurant. It was a Wednesday night and we didn't have a reservation, so I understand that. It might be useful to move the waiting location a bit further into the restaurant, now we had to wait just behind the door, which caused a lot of cold air to come in. After getting a spot, we quickly got our ordered drink and later also our pizza. Just a great pizza, not a very high price and just full afterwards.

We thought we'd grab a pizza, but what a noisy place. Unfinished interior, and the food? This really has nothing to do with good food. Rarely have I eaten so badly. We will never come here again.

Ordered chicken döner pizza with extra chicken. Price 20 euros. However, when I saw the pizza I was unpleasantly surprised. Usually I was satisfied with the volume of the pizzas, but this time it was disappointing. That extra chicken was hard to find. And for that price too. Shame.

Without a doubt, the best dining experience I’ve ever had. Sapori e Ricordi is a unique place where you immediately feel at home. It’s a family-run restaurant where people truly care about their guests. From the moment I booked, I was impressed by how attentive they were — asking detailed questions about allergies and dietary preferences, even repeating some to make sure nothing was missed. While I personally eat everything and have no allergies (so all those questions weren’t necessary for me), for anyone with strict dietary needs, it’s clear they would go above and beyond to adapt. The food is amazing. You don’t order from a menu in the traditional way — instead, you’re served a surprise selection of dishes, each one prepared with clear skill and passion. Every plate that arrived was cooked to perfection: the flavours were balanced yet vibrant, the textures spot on, and the seasoning just right. There’s a freshness and depth to the taste that you can only get when the people in the kitchen genuinely love what they’re doing. Later in the evening, each of the cooks personally came to my table to check if I enjoyed the food and whether there was anything I didn’t like. That personal connection is something I’ve never experienced anywhere else. The gastronomic pleasure I experienced here is unforgettable. Sapori e Ricordi is worth travelling for — whether you live in another country or even on another continent, this is a place that will stay with you long after your visit.
