L'Abbraccio in Oud-West

Great restaurant and pizzeria to visit with family. The pizzas were fantastic and everyone massively enjoyed them. It was very busy but the staff were working hard and it showed!

I went to dinner a couple of weeks ago with my partner and his father, and we loved it!!!!! The food is excellent, quality ingredients of Italian origin, delicious pasta dishes that fill you up but don't make you run out of the restaurant, and the pizzas are incredible. The presentation is also very careful, you can see that they put a lot of care and love into what they do. The atmosphere is a 10, the waiters are very friendly, especially Tomasso. The owners are charming, and if you know how to speak Italian you can surely have an entertaining conversation with them. I've been living in Groningen for two years and this is my new favorite restaurant!!

Was offered dinner for my birthday, we wanted to try something different. What a good choice! Delicious food, super tasty pizza, thin base, beautiful thin crust, tastefully topped. Chosen for the Peasana Gorgonzola. My table companions for a Tonno and the other also for the Peasana. The torta della nonna is a nice ending to the dinner. Highly recommended!

We had a delicious meal here. The atmosphere is somewhat spartan, which you would not expect from an Italian restaurant.

Very nice Italian family restaurant. Every time I enter, I immediately feel the Italian hospitality. This is paired with a few delicious types of wine, which always contribute to a good conversation ;) and then you can eat the tastiest pizzas in all of Groningen. To finish, I can always enjoy a fantastic homemade tiramisu with a limoncello drink. I no longer live in Groningen, but almost every time I return, I have to eat here. Highly recommended!

Super cozy, delicious food, informal atmosphere, good service, a real party

We ate here in August and picked up 3 pizzas yesterday. Here is my experience of this pizzeria. * Pizzeria L'Abbraccio in Groningen has firmly established itself in recent years as one of the most beloved pizzerias in the city. Located in the heart of Groningen, this pizzeria offers an authentic Italian dining experience that is hard to beat. What really sets this pizzeria apart are their unique pizza bases and edges, as well as the generous and flavorful toppings. * The Pizza Base and Edge The pizza base from L'Abbraccio is a true work of art. The first bite immediately leaves an impression: the base is thin and crispy, yet firm enough to support the rich toppings. This perfect balance is achieved through a careful maturing process of the dough, resulting in a light and airy texture. The edge of the pizza, or the "cornicione," is particularly thick and fluffy. This edge has a golden brown color and a slightly crispy outside, while the inside is soft and delicious. The combination of a thin base and a thick, airy edge provides a taste experience that you will not soon forget. * Rich and Tasty Toppings In addition to the exceptional bases and edges, L'Abbraccio is also known for their generous and tasty toppings. The ingredients used are of the highest quality, often imported from Italy. This results in toppings that are both fresh and authentic. The tomato sauce is rich and full of flavor, made from ripe tomatoes and carefully selected herbs. What really stands out is the creativity and care with which each pizza is topped. Whether you choose a classic Margherita with creamy buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil, or a more adventurous pizza with truffle oil, mushrooms and Parma ham, you won't be disappointed. The flavors are always well balanced, and every bite offers a new discovery. * Atmosphere and Service The atmosphere at L'Abbraccio also contributes to the overall experience. The interior is warm and inviting, with a rustic Italian charm. The service is friendly and attentive, which contributes to a pleasant and relaxing dining experience. *Conclusion Pizzeria L'Abbraccio in Groningen offers a pizza experience that is both authentic and innovative. The unique pizza bases and edges, along with the rich and flavorful toppings, make this pizzeria a must-visit for any pizza lover. Whether you come for a quick bite or an extensive dinner, L'Abbraccio will not disappoint you.

Very cozy restaurant, good food and friendly service. Recommended!

Had the tastiest pizza in a long time yesterday. When I started reading the menu, I was already sold on the first pizza. It sounded wonderful, well it was. It is also a nice place to eat, not too big, just wonderfully friendly, pleasant service. The snack board is definitely recommended as a starter. So nothing but praise for the pizza, delicious! And the espresso at the end ✔️.

Best restaurant in Groningen! The atmosphere is fantastic and the staff is very friendly, the food has a rich and authentic flavor! I loved it and will go back

Great food, lovely staff and a perfect atmosphere. Their pizza baker Elia is an amazing person with an incredible vibrant personality. Liesbeth and Marino are some of the kindest people there are and the food can only be described as amazing!

Highly recommended as a local. Delicious food from real Italian family.

Delicious food with a warm welcome. Compliments to the chef!

Ate 3 times, tried different dishes. I think it is very tasty, decently priced and friendly served. Compliment! My table companion takes the position that the carbonara was with cream instead of egg/parmesan. Didn't let me taste a bite so can't confirm this. I found his whining about it irritating. The decor is not ultra hip or cozy, just nice and fine! Take Roseetje with you, she's good.

What a great place in the streets of Groningen. You should eat here!!!

Honestly the best Italian restaurant I tried in Groningen! Authentic Italian food in a nice and cozy restaurant. Do yourself a favour and try the lasagna with porcini and salsiccia, it is just phenomenal! BRAVI

Ate very tasty pizza. Atmosphere was good, cozy decor and nice service. The latte macchiato was a perfect ending. Worth repeating!

Delicious food, super friendly service. And highly recommended

Attentive friendly service and tasty food

Friends recommended this nice restaurant to us and invited us to a friends reunion. We chose Italian antipasti as a starter. Even though there were five of us, we chose a platter of antipasti for 3 people. What an amount of different snacks were on that shelf; gorgonzola, mozzarella, Parma ham with melon, various olives, salami, asparagus with creamy sauce. Very nicely presented. This together with delicious Italian sandwiches (a bit too salty in my opinion) As a main course, each has a delicious pizza. Good white prosecco and red wine. We were so full that there was no room in our bellies for dessert. At the invitation of the business we received a bottle of Limoncello as an apology because the waitress accidentally dropped a glass of red wine. The girl felt so guilty and sad, but since I worked in the catering industry for years, I reassured her and told her that this happens to every waitress/waiter. The service was excellent. We will definitely come back.

Good, authentic and beautiful Italian dishes, fast service, calming atmosphere - from the music to the interior design - and lovely, friendly staff! The name of the restaurant is apt. Recommended 🤝

What a nice and casual hospitable atmosphere! And then there is also a nice wine list and delicious food! Had a great evening for a very reasonable amount of money! And that within walking distance. See you soon!

Fantastic food and top service.

Very nice food and very helpful staff. Very nice pizza and very nice desserts. It was a very nice restaurant experience and had very nice Italian dishes.

Had a delicious meal at L'Abbraccio. Enjoyed the lasagna ai porcini e salsiccia and the pizza Leonardo. In addition, the wine also tasted very good. And of course for dessert the homemade torta della nonna! The service and owners are super nice and it is always pleasant. In other words, a fantastic place in Groningen!

Very nice food with a nice atmosphere. The staff is very helpful and kind. It has very nice desserts and apart from great pizzas, it also has special Italian dishes.

Delicious pizza and very good and friendly service. This is definitely worth a visit during a trip to Groningen! We were even asked if the leftover pizza could be wrapped.

Delicious pizza, just like in Italy, with a thin and crispy base, but richly topped. Best pizza in the city of Groningen. Also recommended for people who have to eat gluten-free. Friendly staff and a warm atmosphere.

Delicious pizzas. And also available gluten-free pizzas and pastas! Only in Italy can you eat so well. In addition, a cozy atmosphere and good service.

Ate at L'Abbraccio with my sister, brother and husband. The name does justice to the restaurant. A cozy Italian restaurant with friendly service and delicious food. I opted for a spaghetti aglio olio pepperoncino with prawns fried in white wine sauce. Yum... portion was just right. Not too much and not too little and enough prawns. For dessert I chose the tiramisu. You could tell it was made with love. A full soft taste. The others had a pizza (bolognese, paesana gorgonzola and frutti di mare). A pizza with a nice thin base and a not too thick crust, just as it should be. They were all very positive. The panacotta was also very tasty. We will definitely come back here again.

Delicious food! Good quality and everything is very fresh. Nice and nice to have such a restaurant nearby. Pick up is also great!

L’Abbraccio is my escape to Italy in every bite. The pizza is a dream, and the service couldn't be better! A hug to the heart. Here, every dinner is a love story with food.

Delicious food here! Recommended!

L'Abbraccio is a great place to visit in Groningen for a cozy, authentic, and tasty Italian dining experience. Everything from the artisan pizzas and pasta dishes to the Italian radio music playing in the background contributes to an immersive environment that leaves me wanting more every time. The restaurant is owned by a small Italian family who have put a lot of thought into their service. The staff is friendly and accommodating; much like the menu which offers vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free options, and kids portions as well. Nobody else in Groningen does it like L'Abbraccio. Highly Recommend!

Flavors are good. Price-quality ratio is not entirely correct considering the number of dishes. You don't get presented enough. Lasagna is an example of this. Pizza tasted great, but my pizza with eggplant had a few pieces/strips. Unfortunately my pizza was soggy in the middle. Warm cake with great taste. Presentation is beautiful. Unfortunately, the service couldn't handle the crowds, but it was friendly.

Had a fantastic evening at la braccio, which means embracing and that's how it felt Very friendly service and delicious food Recommended! The antipasti beforehand is delicious and festive

Great appetizer board and a perfect pizza

Delicious food for a great price.

Had a wonderful evening with delicious food, extremely friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Recommended!

Last Saturday we had a delicious meal at l'Abbraccio. We know the family from Gieten from restaurant Bella Storia, where we regularly visited. Now received a very warm welcome again in Groningen and ate a perfect pizza as usual. We will definitely come back again.

This restaurant has a craft that I have not experienced in a long time, let alone here in the Netherlands. Definitely a perfect ratio between sauce and ingredients. My favorite pizza Carbonara, made in the original Italian way, perfect coagulation of the egg in proportion to the sauce and ingredients that certainly make the difference between the real craft of Carbonara, or something else. My compliments to the chef. The base was crispy and equally thick throughout the pizza. Thoroughly enjoyed this pleasant surprise.

Beautiful location, very atmospheric

Very cozy restaurant with friendly staff and absolutely delicious food! I really enjoyed this place and can recommend it. The pizza was tasty with crazy thin dough and the pasta was very tasty, too. Lovely! Dankjewell :)

Delicious pastas and wines, and according to my table companions the pizzas are also exceptionally good.

Ik kom hier heel graag! De pizzabodems zijn dun en krokant met goede saus, en rijkelijk belegd. De pasta’s hebben een gebalanceerde saus/pasta verhouding en zijn echt lekker. Daarnaast is het personeel erg vriendelijk met hart voor de zaak! Ter afsluiting heb ik nog nooit zo’n lekkere tiramisu gehad als hier.

Aangenaam verrast! Heerlijke pizza, krokante, dunne bodem met verse ingrediënten belegd. Totaal niet vet, voor t eerst in m'n leven de hele pizza opgegeten. Tafelgenoten aten pasta en gnochi en die hebben ook hun vingers erbij opgegeten. Voor ons geen andere pizzeria meer. Top!!

Very good pizza and exceptionally good service :). I will come back.

Beste pizza van de stad! Heerlijke pizza’s, lekkere voorgerechten, lekkere wijn. Ik zou deze plek absoluut aanbevelen.

Echte Italiaanse pizza in Groningen, voor een eerlijke prijs. Echt het gevoel alsof je even in Rimini bent. Ik ben heel blij dat L'Abbracio hier nu zit. Ik raad dit restaurant aan iedereen aan!

Klein maar fijn wel reserveren!!!

Wereld bedrijf met heerlijk eten. Wel wat langer moeten wachten, maar dat had volgens de bediening te maken met de vakantie periode. Begrijpelijk. Ik raad dit restaurant bij iedereen aan die van lekker eten houdt.

Heerlijk eten. Super vriendelijk personeel en prima prijzen. Heel blij dat ze in onze buurt zitten!

Gezellig buurtrestaurant, ongedwongen sfeer, prettige bediening en heerlijk eten

Best pizza in town! Nu meerdere keren heerlijk gegeten en afgehaald. Heerlijke pizza’s en gezellige sfeer.

Heel fijn personeel, van plank tot pasta, alle gerechten worden byzonder goed klaargemaakt.

Een echte Italiaan, een aanrader. De "plank", zowel vlees als vegetarisch is overdadig en erg lekker.

Stukje Italië in Kostverloren. Leuk restaurant, prima eten, vlotte bediening en vriendelijke prijzen.

Fantastisch restaurant. Vriendelijk personeel in een familiare sfeer. Pizzas waren zoals het hoort in Italië, dunne bodem en erg smaakvol. Aanrader

Veruit de beste pizza in Groningen en een aanwinst voor de buurt. Ik zou hier dagelijks kunnen eten, maar dat mag niet van mijn vriendin. Tot snel!

Erg lekkere pizza's en voorgerecht. Huiswijntje kon iets beter voor de prijs maar mocht de pret niet drukken. Toprestaurant id buurt!

Fantastisch heerlijk gegeten lekkere pizza en antipasti en goed bediening,ik zou iedereen aanraden,leuke sfeer!!!

Leuke plek in onze buurt en heerlijk eten!!

Heel erg lekker gegeten! Super vriendelijk personeel en je hoeft niet lang te wachten op je eten. Absoluut een aanrader voor een avond echte Italiaanse keuken. Voorgerecht is de anti pasti een aanrader en vergeet ook vooral niet een dessert te nemen. Wij hebben genoten en komen zeker terug!

Gezellig en leuk kleinschalig restaurant. Top service, en heerlijk eten. Wij komen natuurlijk weeeeeer terug !

Heerlijk hier gegeten met vrienden! Authentieke Italiaanse keuken, met heerlijke pizza’s die in de (deels) open keuken gemaakt worden. Bediening en eigenaars erg vriendelijk!

Gezellig, eetcafé-achtige pizzeria. Prima pizza gehad en dito nagerecht. Prima bediening. Kan wat rumoerig zijn, maar onze plek was prima.

Heerlijk gegeten, bij onze vertrouwde pizzeria op een nieuw adres.

Heel gezellig binnen en nu ook lekker buiten op het terras, ik heb gehoord dat het van de zomer word uitgebreid dus dan kom ik weer lekker voor een antipasto en een italaliaans biertje

Meer dan een buurtpizzeria. Alles goed eigenlijk, de wijn, het troebele bier en vooral het eten. Fijne mensen

Délicieux pour tous les plats : pizzas et pâtes. Service extrêmement efficace et aimable.

Lekker gegeten hier! Super eten en niet al te lange wachttijd. Restaurant gezellig aangekleed.

This place is great! We have dined in and we regularly get the pizza to take away, the food is always delicious. Pizza is the best in Groningen (imo) and the pasta dishes are great. The service is friendly and the owners really know the food and hospitality. Highly recommend this place.
