RESTAURANT DIE ECKE, Augsburg
Our go-to date spot – and the only pizzeria in Augsburg that teleports you to a Naples backstreet! Their crust blisters perfectly in the wood-fired oven, and the fior di latte melts like silk.
Why we’re regulars:
🍕 No-gimmicks pizza – Dough fermented daily, leopard-spotted crust. The Margherita is deceptively simple but life-changing.
🍸 Unexpectedly great cocktails – Their Aperol Spritz with house-made bitter is my pre-dinner ritual.
💫 Where love tastes better – My husband and I celebrated our first anniversary here, and it’s still our ‘can’t-resist’ romantic escape. Pro tip: Book the ‘tavolino all’angolo’ (corner table) – the coziest nook for whispering sweet nothings
