About This Spot
Stepping into Restaurant PIANO on Gehägestraße feels like entering a warmly lit Italian kitchen tucked away in the heart of Hannover—a space where the buzz softens to a gentle hum and the aroma of freshly prepared dishes invites you to slow down and savor the moment. Despite its intimate size, there’s a comforting ease here, a sense of genuine hospitality that unfolds between friendly servers and the quiet clink of glasses.
The atmosphere strikes a thoughtful balance between cozy and lively, making it a natural choice for a relaxed evening, a quiet lunch, or a memorable dinner with friends. The seating arrangement encourages conversation without feeling cramped, and the attentive yet unobtrusive team enhances the experience with their welcoming smiles and open presence.
What makes dining at PIANO truly special is how the flavors echo familiar Italian warmth while drawing you into unexpected culinary details. You might find yourself lingering over a perfectly tart tomato soup or savoring the subtle sophistication of truffle-infused tagliatelle paired beautifully with fresh seafood. These dishes aren’t just food—they’re an invitation to share in the rhythms of everyday Italy, from the first bite of a silky panna cotta to the comforting finish of a rich tiramisu.
Complementing the culinary offerings is a thoughtfully curated wine list and a selection of classic Italian beverages that gently anchor the experience, whether you’re unwinding with a Stella Artois or ending on a spirited note with an espresso grappa. The thoughtful touches—from the olives offered alongside warm bread to the quiet assurance of dedicated parking and guest amenities—speak to the care woven into every part of this local gem.
For those who treasure food not just as sustenance but as a way to connect, Restaurant PIANO offers more than a meal; it’s a quietly joyful gathering place where authentic flavors and genuine moments come together in harmony.

The restaurant has very good tasting food. The pizza tastes homemade. Offering olives with bread as an appetizer was a nice and unique thing. The waiter was good. The seating area is not bery big, but it is good. The restaurant has toilets for guests. There are also specialized parking spaces for the guests of this restaurant.

Five stars for Piano! This place was fantastic. We were a group of 4 and did not have reservation and since the location is not very big, we did manage to find a table for 4 unannounced. The appetisers were amazing! Very tasteful. They have a wide selection of wines, which are authentic to Italy. Really appreciated the openness of the waiters and for the romantic evening we had there! Would highly recommend it.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Restaurant Piano in Hannover, and it was an exceptional experience. As an Italian restaurant, they truly excel in delivering authentic and delicious cuisine. For my meal, I started with the antipasti, which was a delightful assortment of flavors and textures, setting the perfect tone for the evening. For the main course, I enjoyed the octopus, which was cooked to perfection – tender and bursting with flavor. To top it all off, I had the tiramisu for dessert, which was a sweet and satisfying conclusion to a fantastic meal. The portions were generous, and every dish was tastefully prepared. The ambiance was equally pleasant, with the option to sit both inside and outside. The restaurant was impeccably neat, and the staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend visiting Restaurant Piano for anyone seeking an exquisite Italian meal in Hannover.

Piano is an absolute gem. We had the carpaccio and the margarita, pizza and a tiramisu to top it off. Couldn’t be happier with the food service and pricing. A wonderful spot if you’re looking for Italian food in Hanover!
