Good morning

The Italian restaurant Buongiorno has established itself as a must-visit for lovers of affordable Italian cuisine in the heart of Luxembourg’s Gare district. Located at 16 Rue Glesener, in the 1630 postal code area, this establishment, with its warm, small-scale Italian pizzeria atmosphere, has attracted a loyal clientele for many years, drawn by its simple menu and generous portions.

Easily accessible from Luxembourg Central Station, Buongiorno boasts a strategic location for local workers, students, and passersby in a hurry. The restaurant offers daily service from Monday to Friday, with a break between lunch and dinner: open from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM and then from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM . It is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so keep that in mind before visiting.

Buongiorno’s menu showcases two pillars of Italian cuisine: pizza and pasta. Pizza is the house specialty, with a special mention for the Diavola, regularly cited by regulars as one of the best in the city. The thin, crispy crust, generous toppings, and perfectly cooked pizza appeal to both purists and those who prefer more indulgent versions. The daily pasta special changes every day, offering a variety of recipes that keep you coming back for more: penne Bolognese, homemade lasagna, tortellini with Bolognese sauce, carbonara, and many other creations.

One of Buongiorno’s major strengths lies in its value for money , particularly remarkable in a country where the cost of living remains high. A main course with dessert can cost around €10, while a Diavola pizza goes for about €12. These attractive prices explain why the establishment attracts a diverse clientele, ranging from office workers looking for a quick lunch to students on a tight budget. The takeaway option is a real hit: orders are prepared quickly and the pizzas arrive hot, perfect for a meal at home or in the office.

The service is another highlight consistently praised by visitors. The staff is distinguished by its friendliness, efficiency, and ability to adapt to specific requests, including in several languages, which is much appreciated in a cosmopolitan city like Luxembourg. The owner, often present in the dining room, contributes to this relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Several guests also mention that the enticing aroma wafting from the kitchen acts as a real magnet for passersby in the neighborhood.

In terms of practical services, Buongiorno offers dine-in , delivery , and takeout , providing welcome flexibility to suit your needs. The restaurant also accepts reservations, although it operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Note: dogs are welcome, which will delight pet owners.

That said, Buongiorno also has a few limitations worth mentioning for future visitors. As the establishment is relatively small, the atmosphere can be noisy during peak hours, especially at lunchtime. Some customers also note that the space isn’t ideal for a leisurely meal or a quiet conversation with friends, as it’s designed more for a quick and efficient meal. Dinner service ends relatively early, around 8:45 pm, which might be inconvenient for those accustomed to late dinners. Finally, a few negative experiences have been reported regarding hygiene issues (hair in the dishes) and the quality of some sauces, particularly the ham cream, which disappointed some diners. These cases remain isolated given the overall very positive opinion, but they are worth mentioning for the sake of complete transparency.

In short, Buongiorno caters primarily to those seeking an authentic, quick, and affordable Italian meal. It’s the perfect spot for everyday cafeteria- style dining , impromptu takeaway meals with colleagues, or solo lunches without the unpleasant surprise of a hefty bill. Pizza lovers will be delighted with the classic and flavorful recipes, while pasta fans will appreciate the variety of the daily special and the generous portions. However, those looking for a refined gastronomic experience or an intimate, romantic setting should look elsewhere in the capital.

To contact Buongiorno or place an order, the telephone number is 26 64 91 45 (+352 26 64 91 45 from abroad). The official website, accessible at pastabuongiorno.lu, also provides practical information. Whether for a quick lunch, a fast dinner, or a takeaway order, this neighborhood restaurant continues to fulfill its mission with unwavering commitment: offering generous Italian cuisine at prices that defy all competition in the Luxembourg gastronomic scene.
