Trattoria Il ritrovo

Very tasty 😋 pizza 🍕 and super friendly owners. We would be happy to come back on our next trip to Bochum.

Simply fantastic, a small, inconspicuous restaurant. And by small, I mean small, so definitely make a reservation. The food and the whole atmosphere are top-notch. I love small places like this, which is something you have to take into account when judging the ambiance. It's very spartan, but that's not meant to be derogatory—quite the opposite. If you're looking for really good Italian cuisine, this is the place for you. Very, very tasty at really fair prices. We'll be back next time we're in Bochum. Highly recommended! 💪

We stopped by after shopping and thought a pizza would be nice... It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's supposed to be tasty. Small shop, I think it used to be a chip shop. There are a few tables, and that's all you need for a small meal. We ordered two pizzas. They served us six pizza rolls and herb butter. The rolls and herb butter were already very tasty, and our expectations for the pizzas were rising. What can I say? The pizzas arrived, we tried them, and wow... We eat pizza often, in different restaurants and cities, but this was the best pizza we've had in a long time!!! Crispy, but not "burned" dough, well-topped, and, above all, with so much flavor. The service is friendly and attentive, too. The prices are higher than at most Turkish pizzerias. But considering the six rolls and the bowl of herb butter, and the quality and taste of the pizza, it's a good fit and justified. Next time I'm shopping in Linden, I'll be happy to come back.

Best pizzeria in Bochum

A very nice little ambiance and authentic Italian. The food was great.

We discovered this small restaurant thanks to its positive reviews. The service was the epitome of friendliness, and the food (lasagna in our case) was truly delicious. The pizza rolls with herb butter that were brought earlier were also delicious. It's really no surprise that it has such a good rating. Absolutely deserved.

Very tasty food, everything freshly prepared. Very nice owners. Small restaurant, it's best to make a reservation and take some time with you.

I went there for the first time a few weeks ago with a friend and ate homemade pasta and pizza. Both were delicious. Where else around here can you find homemade stuffed pasta? And the wine to go with it was fantastic. The hospitality and service were absolutely appreciative and very courteous. I don't understand the recent negative reviews at all; perhaps it's jealousy or competition? I'll definitely be back. It's great that such special places exist.

I went to the trattoria with my husband for the first time. I often go to Bochum Linden and always just drive past it. Now we finally went to the trattoria. We were there on a Saturday with good weather. I reserved a table outside at very short notice. When we arrived at the said time, all the tables outside were taken. The manager was super spontaneous and simply moved a table from inside to outside. Others wouldn't have done that. The food was also excellent. It won't be the last time we'll be there. Keep up the good work. World class.

Very good food. Everything is freshly prepared. You can also order by phone and pick it up. They also offer party service. Super delicious. Limited seating. Please call ahead. Regards, M. Struck

We've been guests there for many years and are always very satisfied and happy! The food, the service—we love eating there. It's a small, family-run restaurant, which we find special. I can't understand the reviews and find them lies and damaging to the business. My children say Franco makes the best pizza. And I agree! Keep it up...we always enjoy coming back. 🥰

I've driven past it many times. Yesterday, I stopped spontaneously at 9:40 p.m. and tentatively asked if the kitchen was still open. They immediately prepared us something hot to take away, even though the restaurant was still full. Fantastic food, top quality, friendly service. Prices completely reasonable. We'll definitely be back! :-)
