Hello, my insta account is: @manalbwehbeh . Today we went to Amore Mio ., one of the most wonderful places I have been to!! The waiters are polit & patient, clean and fast by servicing.. enjoy it alot!
Food was very good and staff went out of their way to make us a table when they were already full.
A nice place with good service. I really liked my pasta bolognese but others with me enjoyed theirs less - hence the 3 stars. I can confirm that the pasta was good and firm and that is an important hurdle for me.

Great place, delicious food and even more delicious desserts. The place was completely packed, a bit loud but the vibe was great.
There was a fig pizza on the specials menu which was absolutely amazing.

I went there to break the rule of ( Jaffa = seafood ) . A nice place that is too close the port from which you can sit and watch people , boats , waves and sunset in a peace of mind .
The guy who was serving me is an amazing & helpful one .

We ordered 🫡 :

- Halloumi salad , it took 8/10
-Portobello mushrooms with cheese and white sauce , mixes with green herbs and it took 10/10 !!! Ammmmazing taste !
- cheese ravioli with bolognese sauce ! Also the best ever .. 10/10 😍😍
- medium antrecote steak with sautéed veggies . 10/10 !!!!! 🥰🥰
- asked also for fried chrimps and chicken steaks that were ao yummy but my family ate them before taking a pic 🤪

Lemonade was delish and the bill was so reasonable !

Sooooo recommended !

A disappointment.
It has a very big choice of pizzas, but in the end, the crust is not great, and the topics are not of the quality I was expecting. Not good tomatoe sauce or proper mozarella.
We had a 4 seasons pizza with 4 different topics on each quarter. Great idea, but the result was not really good.
The tiramisu for dessert was enormous, but too heavy and lacking of flavour.
It's worth a 3.5.

Very pricy and the chefs seem to rely on slat and lemon way too much. Everything was very salty and sour ish. I could not taste anything from the original raw materials. And they claim to be authentic Italian but I never had anything like that when traveled to Italy multiple times. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

Been there too many times ;-) it’s a great place for dinner or lunch, the service is perfect, the food is excellent, nice wine list and great atmosphere. Ohh and leave room for dessert, the tiramisu is one of the best i ever tasted.

Went in for a business lunch. Food was well made, tasty and well executed. I got a ceviche and another fish dish and both were lovely. Decent wine list and good espresso to finish. We spent about $60 per person before tip.

Very good place for families. Rich menu allows to find a meal for any person. We took a beef, and seafood. Seafood is great and not ordinar. Beef was tasty and good done. Salads are fresh and tasty.
Service was very good too.

Close your eyes and put your finger on the menu, and you will have a dish that will delight your epicurean senses! On a hot day, make sure to quench your thirst with a lemonade ouzo slush or two or three or more! Enjoy, you won't regret the experience.

An upgraded version of "The old man and the sea" restaurant located nearby. Almost all dishes are equal. Interesting design inside. The music effectively divides the dining groups and does not interfere talking.
Main servings are not that big, just enough for one.

The food was delicious, there are 2 reasons Im taking off stars-
The tables were too close together and it felt like we were sitting with the table next to us. The tables were also tiny so we had to put things on the floor in order to have enough room.
The second reason is we got a carbonara. We made it our mission to try as many carbonaras everywhere we go. Here, was DEFINITELY not anything similar to Carbonara. It was a very saucy alfredo with bacon. Carbonara is not meant to be with cream, and even when it is with cream they put a little bit. Dont get me wrong, it was delicious, but definitely not Carbonara.
We also got the meaty pizza, which was very flavourless. Wouldnt recommend ordering pizza here.
The portions were big for the price and both me and my husband were very full.

Beautiful decor everywhere. I really enjoyed all the little touches.

Overall, I would recommend this restaurant. Just dont come for the Carbonara.

Pretty average..
Not sure what all the fuss is about.

They're nice, but the service was not great, considering the place was empty.

The bruschetta was OK.
The pizza - I would skip.
The pasta is not home made, but shipped from Italy. Yet, it was my favorite dish out of everything.
I took one with beef and cream, and enjoyed it way more than i thought.

But I will not go back there anytime soon..

We came to celebrate a birthday party. The bartender wasn't so helpful with the choice of dishes 😕 we felt a little lost.
They didn't even pour us a glass of water, we waited a long time to get the food and when it came, one of the dishes was burnt (crabs dish).
Overall, we decided to go and eat somewhere else.
Note that this is an expensive restaurant with small dishes, you expect to get a perfect service.

So, I don't know how to explain how satisfied I am with this family business. This is an old school style Italian restaurant. Here, you meet the owner, and he will serve you with passion. High-quality products and wine ! Great design, which reminds you of old style Italian restaurants. We were here big group and all of us are satisfied with their meals.

Thank you !

This place is a must when you are in Telaviv 🇮🇹

We had a group dinner here and it was great. Really good pizza and cakes. They have fun and different pizzas like corn pizza and a seasonal fig and goat cheese pizza.

Be sure to check out the cake case. The carrot cake was very popular at our table. I like the lemon one and found the raspberry one just average.

The restaurant was happy to accommodate a variety of diet constraints. The vegans at our table were happy with the menu options especial the vegan chocolate cake.

Some of the food was good, but that's the end of the nice part of the review.
Unfortunately, the service was absolutely horrible which set the tone for the evening.
We had to beg for water (asked over 5 times before we finally got it), the food came super slowly (we set there for 2.5 hours and not by choice), and the staff was not even apologetic about anything.
To top that, the bill was extremely expensive and non of the dishes were exceptionally good.
I wouldn’t recommend and I am definitely not going back!

Very nice Italian restaurant. If you like parmesan cheese, definitely order pasta -- they have a very unique & fun way of serving it. Good selection of varied dishes.
Probably the best pasta dish I've had in years.
I had the Pappardelle with a beautiful sauce. I was drawn in by the leaks in the sauce and in fact everything was just great.

I visit here for the first time, i looked on google … i regreted. We took a risotto but it wasn’t a risotto more like a riz children boiled… and i have so much salt and spicy on my linguini very not appreciated.
We not ta. about, you got not a good portion on the plate. Very sad first and last time here. Do we talk about service ? if you are from here you can have chance and they will be very kind otherwise you will not get the same portion, no water, no service and if you ask advise about the menu they laughed !
if you wonder how much we should pay for the dishes on the picture 188Nis we wait so long for the bill i asked if i leave or i will pay ! they offered the diner that’s the good point of the night So Just one Advise don’t come!!!!

It's a straight 5, no questions.
Food was delicious: gnochi zuchinni and pasta.
Dessert was fresh and homemade: lemon tart.
Drinks completed the experience.
Place is up and coming and it is by far a delight to spend an evening here.

Food was average, but service was awesome. Feel was amazing and the behaviour of service people was great.
Overall nice experience.
Hello everyone I want to tell you about yesterday's visit to this restaurant. This is the most disgusting, terrible restaurant in Israel and perhaps even in the world. My wife came, she was invited to the table by a certain Ahmed, who was standing on the host. She waited more than 30 minutes for the waiter to come to her, but no one came. Later, my wife's friend and I came. My wife left, and we decided to finally place an order. There was still no one there, and we decided to ask the same Ahmed on the host if we could make an order? And then it started, he started shouting, waving his arms, at first he started shouting that we had just arrived and we need to wait, we said that my wife had been waiting for more than 30 minutes, he started waving his arms even more, yelling that this was not McDonald's and our place in McDonald's, then he started yelling and accusing us that we were drunk, then he started snatching the menu out of my hands and yelling get out of here, grabing my hands and move towards the exit. I can't justify such behavior with anything, and hardly any self-respecting restaurant will allow itself to do this. As a result, it turned out that this Ahmed is the owner of this institution. And this is even more surprising. This is how only the owner of the garbage can behave, disrespecting not himself, not others. I wish you never to meet Ahmed and this institution. And it all happened in pride week. After that, another person came out, introduced himself as the manager, and the only thing he said was that I didn't see anything, but I apologize for the owner. Are you serious? In general, I strongly advise against visiting this institution and giving money to Ahmed in his pocket. He has no right to behave this way with restaurant customers in the civilized country of Israel and anywhere else in the world.

Classical Italian kitchen at its best in the center of Tel-Aviv.

With great waiters (pretty rare in Israel).

Highly recommend.

The only thing I would suggest to improve (subjective) is a wine list.
It was pretty short, especially short of local wines.

A nice family centered restaurant. Equipped to host large groups of people. Very expedient service. The staff are welcoming and exact. Comfortable enough prices for what you're getting in return, considering we are in T-A-Jaffa. The food is various and tasty. We ordered fish, 2 kinds of steak, burger, ravioli, grilled chicken breast and some firsts - all were served fast and were pleasing. The place has outdoor and indoor sitting. The outdoor is shaded by umbrellas, but considering it's the shoreline, you will not have any shade there after 12:00 noon. So if you want to eat your food and gaze at the marvelous Mediterranean Sea, better come before that time. The inside is atmospheric, air conditioned and inviting. Mind that families with kids come there, so do not expect it to be quiet. But if you come on weekdays, you'll have less of a chance to encounter families(not included - holidays, weekends, school summer vacation)

I got the gnocchi, which was very good! A bit on the salty side, but I still enjoyed it. My friend go the ravioli, which was also yummy. We shared a salad that was good too. Vibe was nice, service was great. I recommend!

Very nice atmosphere and attentive service. Dishes are well prepared with attention to esthetics. Portions are adequate and appetizers are easily shared. However, the price is very expensive for what it is. Paying over 250 shekels per person without drinks is a lot.

Gusto is a cute little Italian place near Kikar Rabin. I remember it being super delicious and I was a little disappointed last night. I think the quality has gone down but it was still fine (not more than that). I noticed the restaurant was empty. I feel like the effort has gone out of it. Hope they can re-engergize themselves and get back to delicious food.

This place is the heartbeat of the Jaffa Market restaurant scene. We smelled the fantastic food cooking long before the place opened. Yoval and Tal were absolutely superb wait staff. We ordered the spicy Italian Artichoke and the Pepperoni pizza with a side of shoug, a blend of roasted spicy peppers...it was so good to finally have something legitimately spicy. Make sure you get an ice cold beer to go with anything on the menu and you won't find a better place to eat in Jaffa Market.

The food was good, the steak exceptionally good, pasta was good the restaurant is so expensive and not worth the price in my opinion. Also, the dessert we ordered was absolutely disgusting. I don’t remember what it was called but it was purposely burnt as part of the dessert but it tasted like we were eating coals. I had one bite and didn’t touch it after. I was shocked that they would serve such a thing.

Absolutely delicious and a great location in Jaffa!
We were 4 and started with some bread, the tartar and a salad which were good. The peak for me was the main dishes, especially the ravioli! We took one main dish for each of us. We also took two homemade drinks.
The waitress was patient and nice as well!

The food was excellent. Very allergy friendly!! My nephew has 5 allergies (peanuts, peas, nuts, sesame, beans) and going to restaurants is very rare with him. Usually ordering only specific dishes with low risk and high alert. Here, the chef is super aware, made him the dishes himself to make sure everything was safe. He could choose from the entire menu. It was very exciting for him and for the family. We had a great experience and will definitely come back for more. Restaurant like these are too rare!

Disappointing. The food was low quality and not fresh - the worst ceviche I've ever seen. The service was unpleasant, I hope they're not mistreated/underpaid bc they looked absolutely miserable! We went to celebrate a birthday, but we decided to end early, skip dessert, and go home. At payment, we were asked how everything was, and they apologized when we said it was bad. Who knows, maybe we came on a bad day? Unfortunately, our birthday dinner was ruined.

Great big restaurant right near the sea. There are places both outside and inside. My wife and I ordered "Four cheese Ravioli" and "Pasta with chicken breast". It was tasty enough. Prices are about normal for this place. Oh, and we also liked the internal design of the room where we were sitting.

La Repubblica in Tel Aviv is a must-visit Italian restaurant, with exceptional food and service. The menu is crafted from fresh, quality ingredients and offers a diverse range of dishes. While pricey, the upscale experience and impeccable cuisine make it well worth the investment.

Great fast Italian food, mainly pizza and pasta. We ordered both the Caprichosa and Bufilina pizza, and three different pasta dishes: pomodoro, rose and fungi del bosque. Both pizzas were great, crispy and delicious. The pastas are more depends on personal taste, I loved the pomodoro and strong tomatoes taste, others enjoyed the rose. For the fungi, only two of the party of six enjoyed it.
As a tip, I recommend on Thursday - when there is a basketball game in Tel Aviv, to arrive before 18:30. Otherwise you are risking waiting a long time for a table.

We waited so long to get our food as they gave our food to other people! Because they have no system in place, like table numbers, to know where the food should go! They just go around guessing and asking people 🤦🏻‍♀️ Also, one of the pizzas came even later cause they forget to order it. We were only 4 people, not a large group! How do these businesses survive...

Such a great restaurant on the water in Jaffa. Spotless ladies room, clean restaurant surroundings, excellent service, seating both inside & out, & interesting menu that even has a locust dish! I opted for the chicken Caesar salad. It was delicious, with a generous serving of chicken, unique dressing, & came with a side of bread. If it’s a pretty day, you just can’t beat an outside table. I walked over from downtown Tel Aviv, & enjoyed surroundings along the water.

The restaurant was busy, even at 8pm when I arrived which was good to see. I ordered the fettuccine carbonara which had goose rather than the traditional pork. There was a lot of goose meat in the bowl which was quite nice. Also they shredded Parmesan from a wheel at the table and placed it on top. I also ordered the Ananas Beach, which is a vodka cocktail mixed with pineapple juice. It was good, but not a ‘must have’. I ended with their tiramisu which came with cream and a shot of espresso. The cake tasted quite good and was enjoyable with the coffee. I would recommend checking this place out if you are in the Dizengoff area looking for Italian food! (They also have a wide array of items on the menu besides Italian food)

This may be a stretch bud for the price point I genuinely believe this is the best pasta and pizza place in Israel. If this place were in America it would be an instant hit. Pasta is cheap and super customizable. Pizza is cheap and fantastically artisan. Lightning service even with a crowd. There is a soft serve ice cream and coffee bar inside as-well for desert. Worth a try.

It’s rare you find a restaurant where you want to order one of everything… highly recommended, amazing flavors and complexity, and great service as well!
The food is satisfactory (poor quality of tomatoes in a salad, overcooked rigatoni) but the service… It took 20 minutes for someone to take my order, and then another 20 minutes at the end to bring the bill and process the payment. At the meantime I got to look at the hostess taking vodka shots and smoking weed right in front of my table. I am very difficult to disappoint but it was definitely the worst service I experienced in Tel Aviv. Definitely do not recommend.

Loved this place! The atmosphere, the decor and the food!! The food was excellent!
The only bad thing I can write is that they made a mess with 2 of our orders, which caused me and my friend orders to arrive much later the the rest of us but they apologized and gave us free dessert as compensation. I definitely be coming back!

I don't know how their pizza is, but the soup was terrible. We ordered minestrone, and instead we got a flavorless vegetable soup without a single piece of pasta or bean, as was written on the website description. When I called to complain they were very unreceptive.
Also the garlic bread was dry.

We took some takeout on a rainy night, and we chose the rosé sauce pasta and an onion soup. They’re both fairly good, and the service was very nice and friendly.
I think the pizza here is better but didn’t get the chance to try it yet.

The pizzas were good. Not bad appetizers. I didn't connect too much to the salads. The tuna steak was prepared correctly. And the tiramisu was very rich with cream, a little dry on coffee or cacao flavor. Overall a good experience, a little expensive.

A good place for business lunch. The food is OK, usually there's plenty of space and the time is reasonable.
Once they made an order mistake, charged for 7 lunches instead of 2, but were very quick and efficient to fix their mistake.

Upscale restaurant located at Tel Aviv city center. The drinks and dishes are pricy. The cocktails are not that good (taste-wise and serving-wise) so rather to skip them and go straight to the wines.
On the dishes side- the corn ravioli and the calamari dish were amazing. The rest of the dishes were nice. Appetizers are average in taste in my opinion. The Kasata dessert was amazing and special. Service was kind and efficient. Interior design for upscale restaurant is mediocre.

Years ago I decided I would only leave reviews for restaurants i liked, but in this case i have to make an exception. I’ve been to this place twice, both were unpleasant experiences. The first time, because the endives salad we ordered had no endives in it, and when we asked them about it their attitude was snotty. And a couple of days ago, we found ourselves looking for something to eat around the area at night with some friends, decided on this place, and were told there was a long wait, to which we agreed, sitting on the benches outside to wait. During the half hour we waited we weren’t even approached by the staff to let us know they were on it, much less to give us a glass of something to help pass the time waiting. Once the table was free we had to wait another good (bad) while for them to clean it. The problem is the attitude. And even if the pizza and pasta and salads are tasty, I will never return, and recommend you find another place to spend your time and money

A lovely place.
We returned after more than three years (before the covid period).
We enjoy every dish, the fresh and high-quality ingredients with the right hand perform a magic evening.

warmly recommended!!!
We will definitely come back again

A cute Italian restaurant near Rabin square.
I ate here several times over the last few years and also ordered in. I have to admit it used to be even better, but still the food is great.
I mostly love the mozzarella salad and the ricotta ravioli.
Also we tried the gluten free chocolate cake which was incredible.

Enjoyed great food in a very friendly romantic atmosphere. Everything was pretty simple but fresh and high quality. We especially loveddd the buratta dish.
Will probably come back again If we ever seek a good italian in the heart of Tel Aviv.

Very nice Italian restaurant
We recieved a small table near the kichen.
The food was delicious,we had some gluten free options.
The restaurant located in the center, close to Rabin square.
There is parking lot in the area and a bus station.
The dishes were very tasty , Italian menu with a lot of options.
The price was a bit more then average, paid around 100 ils for 2 people.
The clientele were families (with children), couples ,friends .
The atmosphere was like of a crazy italian restaurant, noisy, the waiters was running near us to the kitchen because of the peak hour (probably), the music was nice .
The service was fast, the waiter took the order and served the dishes after 5-10 minutes of waiting.
The things that was not good for me is that the waiters was constantly running to serve the orders, the children that was noisy, the table that was a bit sticky, the crowdness of the restaurant.
In overall the restaurant is good the food is excellent, the design of the restaurant is interesting.
I will probably order from Wolt next time.
Recommended.

Surprisingly good! We were there for lunch, ordered the jerusalem artichoke ravioli and parpadelle arrabiata and they were both super delicious! The service was one of the best I had in TLV so far and the owner is a friendly Italian lady who speaks many languages, even perfect Portuguese ( I am Brazilian), so that was pretty impressive!
Someone ordered the food for me and had at it sent to the apartment that I just arrived at after a long flight. The address was off by a little and added 2 minutes to delivery time. When he arrived he yelled at me and treated me badly. I had no idea about the details of the order. Poor behavior!!

I won't return.
Food was average in general, for that price it was not worth it at all.
Service was horrible.
At the end of the meal, when we got the bill, the waiter asked for the first time how was the food.
We answered that it was ok but one main dish was not tasty, her answer was:
"At least you are not hungry anymore" 🤷‍♀️

6 adults ,dinner.
Amazing experience, very good food , very pricey.
Starter dishes are pretty small.
Everything tasted real good, 2/3 of the desserts we had were salty which is kind of refreshing.
Steak was great, cooked to perfection.
Would definitely recommend and come back again.

Very cool atmosphere with a very good and wonderful vibe from the waiters.
A food at a fairly high level!
As for the location, it is located in a rather crowded place but if you come in the evening it will be great. I highly recommend.

In terms of waiting time: we had a table and despite that we spent quite a lot of time waiting. Even after we were seated, it has taken too much time to write down our orders and to pay the bill. We visited for an hour and spent 20 minutes eating - the rest was waiting time.

The utensils were dirty, and when given to the waitress she just took it without the thought of bringing clean ones.

The pizza itself was very delicious although extremely expensive. And by pizza I mean the middle of the pizza, because the crust was super thin, unlike traditional pizza, and had the taste of laffa bread.

Would not come again.

First of all, all staff was so friendly!
There was English menu so convenient to communicate.
All pasta were good and also sweet potato pizza.
And the port view is nice!
We went there twice during our trip.
Want to visit again.
Gemma is a great restaurant that offers delicious food, friendly service, and a charming atmosphere. If you're looking for a special occasion meal or a romantic dinner, Gemma is a great option. However, it is a bit on the expensive side and can get crowded, especially on weekends.

2022 edit: Had another amazing business lunch, entrees were perfection, pizza was yummy and burger was wonderfully done. The French fries were too salty even for us and we didn’t finish them. All in all still a great place!

2021 - I have had several business lunches at Magazzino, and they were all delicious with great service.
This week we ordered two pie slices from the Magazinno desserts on wolt - and although one was out and they replace me it with another, the packaging was lovely and both pies were super yummy. Have to try more 😅
This place is incredible! 🤩 Gemma is a classic Italian restaurant with a Jaffa-style twist. 🇮🇹 The Italian dishes 🍽️ are delicious 🤤 - the pizza 🍕 is fresh and the pasta 🍝 is absolutely amazing! Definitely try the Artichoke Pizza and the Fungi 🍄 Pappardella. This spot has a great ambience 🎶 and fantastic service. 👨‍🍳 I wish I knew about this place earlier!
Very good food. Delicious and rich in flavours amd not too pricy.
Very good variety to "to please any pallet 🙄".
Generous portions and good table service.
Desert choices were many and great. Highly recommend the tiramisu and the Lemon pie.
Parking in the street is challenging but there are some parking lots (not cheap) not far. We would return.
Delicious food and great service.
We had large sharing plates and enjoyed great fish tartar, sirloin radiatori pasta, and green pizza. Of course all the other dishes were great, too!

Tiramisu was delicious s well, and well worth the praise it has gained.

Nice low-key place for pizza or pasta. Service was friendly. Pizza was good. Not what I would call inexpensive for pizza (around 65NIS for a personal pizza) but maybe that's just Tel Aviv prices. Certainly not unreasonable. Good by-the-glass wine list.
The vibe in this place is very nice and warm, it is nicely designed.. the food was fine, we took a salad as a starter to share and it was actually the best dish we had in the restaurant. I had a vegan pasta which was nice, full of mushrooms and coconut milk cream sauce, but it lacked a little saltiness and a kick, my partner had a pasta as well which he liked but wasn’t the best he had.. we both had a nice wine and water.. overall the experience was nice and fun, the food was OK but not the best I’ve had.. would recommend as a nice Italian restaurants in Tel-Aviv Yafo..

Italian restaurant with tasty medium sized portions, sits in a busy corner in the “flea market”, usually you will be seated in the sidewalk. Service is slow and not accurate, seems like there is no leadership, since the people who served us were nice.

There are many restaurants in this area having been opened and closed recently, but Po Mo looks Life and kicking place with great choice and variety of Italian cuisine, starting from pizzas and finishing with pasta!
All types of Italian ingredients can be found here I guess.
We ordered black pasta with frutti di mare and it was fabulous!
We tried also lamb pasta, and it was great too, dealing with huge pasta tubes filled with lamb meat and surrounded by sweet caramel sauce. That was unusual.
For tots starter we took special focaccia with avocado and tuna - one of the best focaccia I have ever tried.
Hiiighly recommended!
As for ACCESSIBILITY: There are four stairs to get to the terrace, so you will need help to access to this place on a wheelchair.
