La Valle

Frommer's Review

Right off the Marienplatz in the heart of Munich, this is one of the best restaurants and pizzerias in town. There's an elegant bar for a pre-dinner drink, the interior is decorated in a classic Italian style, and the service from the largely "south of the border" staff is among the finest in the area. Luigi, the owner, is always on hand to provide menu advice, especially about the day's creations of fish, pasta, or meat specialties. For starters, the minestrone is about the best in Munich, as are the pastas, especially the rigatoni with onions and bacon in a hot tomato sauce. Pizzas come with toppings ranging from cheese and mushrooms to salami. There's always a grilled fish of the day, perhaps king prawns with fresh herbs, each with fresh vegetables. The best meat dish is the tender veal in a white wine-and-lemon sauce.
