After reading many great reviews about this place, I have to be honest and say I was disappointed…read more Now I will say that I only ordered a beer. That being said I tried two different dishes because people couldn't eat anymore. I tried the veggie ravioli and the black noodle seafood dish. The veggie ravioli I thought was bland but the sauce was quite good. And the black noodle seafood dish tasted quiet fishy which wasn't bad and the noodles were different but I enjoyed it. The place was really loud and smelled horrible like burning oil. It was like putting oil in my nose and Inhaling it. The food was a little pricy from what was being presented I'd say. The beer I ordered was Leffe. And it was a better version of a Weizen beer which are common here in Köln. A nice blonde beer with a smooth finish. Maybe worth a go one more time to actually order the meal I want.

I was spot on and the couple of miles walk there and back only made it better. We started off with the Godfather Pizza. Crust was perfect and the salami with the olives were incredible. The waiter then brought us three pasta dishes of his choice, and divided them into thirds. The pesto with shrimp was the best but the others were great too. Each pasta was cooked perfectly. We ended with a steak which again was split between the there of us, very tasty and cooked as requested, vegetables on the side were a nice compliment. No room for dessert but they all looked super yummy. Next time I'm in Cologne, I will for sure make another visit.

They have pastas, pizzas, main courses, salads and many other choices for food. Drinks list is also good with a selection of wines. Food here is priced ok albeit on the slightly expensive side. I had a tagliatelle with scampi which was really nice and the semifreddo with caramel sauce was also lovely. Service was quick and super friendly. All in all a great experience I would happily repeat again. It's a nice place for a meal.

If you are looking for the best Italian in town, you just found it. I have searched for this place…read morefor a long time ago, and at least I found it. Italian ingredients, italian style, italian waiters, and of course, italian boss. 100% traditional, this places offers a variety of dishes that will put you in a difficulty to choose. The portions are fair, and the prices decent. But from far the the thing that will win your heart is the atmosphere, just like in a small pizzeria, somewhere in Rome. A reservation would be recommended, especially on weekends. Really good for groups, or just a romantic dinner with your fiancé. Even though the location is not that "friendly" (situated in a top neighborhood, but far from downtown), I think it is worth it. So, just to make it clear, in my opinion, the best italian restaurant in town.

I made a reservation here for out team diner - for 8. I actually had this place mixed up with a…read moremarginal restaurant we went to last year (but the team liked it). I didn't know it was not the same place until we showed up! Ok - I called to see if they could switch from 8 to 10 - the person who answered didn't speak English but I thought he got it - my bad. They jumped through hoops and accommodated our extra guests which was not an easy task. LOVE the authenticity of this place. Great wines, fantastic food and excellent service. EVERYONE loved it and I was so grateful that they took good care of us since not only did I book the wrong restaurant I didn't update our reservation. They saved the day and it was a great place to boot. We will be back next year!

Italian Food in Germany.....it's really good. This place looks like a dump from the outside but…read morethe food and the service is amazing. I think it's a neighborhood favorite because everyone knows each other. It's my second time here (about 3 years apart) and it is as good as I remember from the first visit. Pastas are great; cooked perfectly. I had the American with spagetti and no olives. Put a little parmigiana on top. Bacon was lightly cooked. Perfect for this dish. Also had the special which was a German sausage in a spicy tomato sauce. The perfect German Italian dish. Owner brought over some grilled vegetables the were cooked to perfection. Did not have thIs visit, but the antipastas look pretty good too. Will have to return next time I'm back in Cologne.

We chowed down on our pasta dishes in this chill, low key restaurant and it was a great deal and the food was cooked by Ma and Pa according to the waiter.

Service is good, sometimes, if you sit outside and there are not many tables, it looks like you're forgotten. Not very fast, but, as far as i've seen, that's very Italian. They actually look after you every now and then. Prices are OK i guess, no complains, but the Pizza menu could be better. They say they fulfill your wish and do any creation you'd like, but, sometimes my creativity is worse than Microsoft, i just wish i could see something in a menu that invite me to try it. They accept Credit cards only if you pay the whole bill. I can live with that, it's better than not at all.
