The service can be grumpy and it gets quite crowded, but the pizzas are awesome and the rest of the menu, which changes seasonally, is solid to excellent.

Hits include the pizza pecorina, with chunks of aged pecorino toscana atop a perfectly-cooked, perfectly handled pizza crust. Bisteca Fiorentina cooked in the mouth of the wood-fired oven is a rare (literally) treat.

As yet, there is no "non-smoking" room and this place gets quite "geraucht", so it is a bit of a bummer.

Don't expect much: Czech Budweiser on tap, house brand brews, full bar and flat breads with various toppings cooked in a wood-fired oven.

The setting is in one of the oldest buildings in Wien in one of the most charming old streets. They have a small outdoor area for enjoying yourself but they close it relatively early out of respect for the neighbors.

Kolar is worth a visit for a refresher when you're in the neighborhood or even as a destination for a casual get-together with friends.

Warning: this place gets SMOKED OUT and has no nonsmoking area.

It's larger than you'd thing, and very "Old Vienna" inside. The menu is small and focused: Wiener Kuche. However, I've found that the food here far surpasses most other Viennese Cuisine places that I have tried.

The Tafelspitz here was the best I've had. It was perfectly spiced and cooked, and served with the most delicious potatoes and creamed spinache as well as two sauces. The Wienerschnitzel looked great (I didn't try it) and comes with a special glass duck for squeezing the lemon (You have to see it to believe it)
