Ristorante Pizzeria Europa - Wiesbaden

Live near here. Visited again and they remain AWESOME! Family owned, super nice and friendly. Treat yourself!

This Ristorante & Pizzeria, formerly called "Europa" has a new name, Matera, and excellent food, service and atmosphere. Since this traveler stayed in the area only two months, I cannot speak to the previous management, etc. However, it is great little restaurant now. The service is impeccable, with a well-rounded menu and comfortable décor. There are seasonal specialties and daily chef's creations to augment the Italian appetizers, soups, salads, pastas and pizzas. We visited twice and had the same great experience each time. Specifically, I greatly enjoyed the salads, both the Caprese on the first visit, and their house special salad the Insalata Matera on my second solo trip. It was much more filling than I expected (see photo) featuring four each of grilled shrimp & chicken medallions. The lovely owner assured me I could order a small size of the house salad on my next visit. Her English (I do not speak Italian or German) is very good which was very helpful, and her friendly personal service was appreciated. I also tried their spaghetti carbonara on the first visit and loved it. The pizza, which I was too full to finish, was less inspiring. My date was very pleased with his selections, which included wines from the region and also a good selection of Italian vintners. Next time I will save room for their appealing dessert menu and an espresso!

Wij kwamen hier terecht dankzij een stop die we maakte tijdens een file. Even de weg af en een hapje eten was het idee.Al snel zagen wij het bord Pizzeria dus de keuze was zo gemaakt voor de kinderen.De bediening is correct, snel en netjes. Ze helpen je graag en zijn erg vriendelijk.De Pizza's waren echt perfect. De bodem licht krokant zoals het hoort, de vulling afdoende en de randen keurig ingesmeerd met knoflook olie. De tent zat tot de nok toe vol dus de lokale bevolking weet ook prima de weg te vinden naar dit restaurant. Allemaal dus veelbelovend.Wij zouden er zo weer gaan eten als het op de route lag. Zeker een aanrader mocht je in de buurt zijn.

Under new management and new branding, this bustling restaurant has a lot to offer at a reasonable price. As most dishes cost less than 10€, this is an excellent choice for an occasional night out or to pick up lunch/dinner to go.
