I love sitting on a warm evening at the house wall of the restaurant. It is located right at the Frauenkirche. On a warm summer night you will think you are in Italy :). I would only go there when the weather is good because I wouldn't want to sit insider (I am not a fan of the interior). They make great spaghetti vongole & spaghetti bolognese. I find the pasta portions quite big so I stick to a main course and then the tiramisu for desert.

The Odeonsplatz is a large square in central Munich which was developed in the early 19th century by Leo von Klenze and is at the southern end of the Ludwigstraße, developed at the same time. The square is named for the former concert hall, the Odeon, on its southwestern side. The name Odeonsplatz has come to be extended to the parvis (forecourt) of the Residenz, in front of the Theatine Church and terminated by the Feldherrnhalle, which lies to the south of it. The square was the scene of a fatal gun battle which ended the march on the Feldherrnhalle during the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch.
