Fellini - Leoben

This place has to be distinguished from the restaurant of the same name at the shopping mall in the center of Leoben. However, the two are affiliated. Actually, the “Fellini” at issue is situated at the periphery next to a large crossroads and represents primarily a delivery restaurant. In spite of that, its building, which resembles a pavilion, also harbors two small dining rooms for smokers and nonsmokers, respectively. Either of them comprises only four tables. They looked quite decently and had been tastefully decorated for Christmas. Unfortunately, they are poorly separated and therefore the smell from the smokers’ area also spread in the nonsmokers’ area.The waiter was exceptionally friendly and provided a speedy service. The permanent menu included not just pizza, pasta and risottos as one might expect, but also fish and a choice of dishes of the Austrian cuisine that went beyond the usual classics such as “Schnitzel”. It was complemented by a menu of the day written on a chalkboard at the entrance.The pizza I had chosen was served after only a moderate waiting time. It was crispy and good. Its most striking feature was its enormous size, which definitely exceeded the quantity a single person is supposed to eat at lunch. Seeing that and its reasonable price, value for money was great.
