The story
Da Moritz brings solid Italian cooking to central Vienna, anchoring a family-owned group that has operated along Schellinggasse since 2001. Chef Sejfijaj Blerian guides the back of house, favoring straightforward technique over theatrical presentation. The team prepares pizza, pasta, and antipasti with a focus on consistency rather than novelty. This steady approach earned the restaurant a twelve-point rating from Gault&Millau, which notes the reliable execution behind every plate.
The menu centers on familiar Italian classics served alongside a selection of fish and shellfish. Guests frequently order the baked pasta dishes and wood-fired pizzas that arrive quickly enough for a working midday meal. A well-curated wine list provides both everyday bottles and cellar selections to match the day’s orders. Dessert remains predictable in the best way, anchored by a dense chocolate cake with a molten center that draws regulars year after year.
The interior avoids formal pretense, favoring comfortable seating and steady foot traffic from nearby offices. Lunch service caters to professionals seeking a quiet table, while evening covers shift toward leisurely dinners among friends. Natural light fills the space during daytime hours, and the layout supports easy conversation without crowding. The unpretentious setup keeps the focus squarely on the food and the company sharing it.

History
Between Stadtpark and Kärntner Straße lies the popular and unpretentious Huth family restaurant, specializing in Italian classics. Pizza, pasta, and antipasti are prepared here with solid skill. Accordingly, the establishment, thanks to its location, is a highly sought-after meeting point for business lunches or relaxed dinners. The assortment also includes fish and seafood—not quite as fresh as directly on the Mediterranean coast, but "la dolce vita" makes up for it. The chocolate cake with a molten center is always excellent. The well-stocked wine list, especially the bottle selection, rounds out the offering.
