We were greeted in Italian by a very nice & welcoming young lady. It turned out to be the perfect place for a light lunch. We shared the antipasto plate, a basket of delicious bread & a bottle of water (which, much to our surprise, cost 6 euros. Half of what we paid for the antipasto) We ended our lunch with a cappuccino & left totally satisfied. We'll definitely go back for another wonderful lunch before we leave Cologne. Next time we'll add a pasta dish . We highly recommend Enoteca. BRAVI.

Staff was attentive, friendly and spoke English. I'm Italian and can be discerning on Italian cuisine so I was surprised to find how genuine and delicious the meal was. Pizza was prepared with a thin chewy crust and sauce and ingredients were very fresh. The insalata rucola was also delicious and fresh with plenty to share with my husband. The restaurant was elegant, artsy but not too fussy and not too noisy either. My only warning to travelers is that this restaurant doesn't accept payment via credit card! You must bring cash.

Das erste mal war es angenehm: ein netter Kellner, das Essen wurde verhältnismäßig schnell geliefert und war lecker. Beim zweiten Besuch wollten mein Begleiter und ich uns draußen an den Rand setzen. Ich muss zugeben, es war ein 6er Tisch, aber es war auch noch genug anderer Platz da. So steht ein schlecht gelaunter Koch oder Kellner (es war nicht so genau zu erkennen) in der Tür des Restaurants und fordert uns in einer unangebrachten Lautstärke und auch Wortwahl auf, uns nicht an einen so großen Tisch zu setzen. Selbstverständlich sorgte seine Ansprache dafür, dass wir von allen Gästen angeglotzt wurden, was irgendwie nicht angebracht ist. Warum wir nicht gegangen sind? Der Hunger war es und auch das gute Essen. Übrigens setzte sich eine dreier Gruppe an den 6er. Wir setzten uns an einen anderen Tisch, wurden von einer freundlichen Kellnerin bedient, mussten dann aber doch 40 Minuten auf Pasta warten. Wir hatten unterschiedliche Pastasorten bestellt, aber dann doch beide die gleiche bekommen. Nachdem wir so lange auf das Essen gewartet hatten (in der Zeit hätte ich es auch selber zu Hause kochen können), verzichteten wir auf eine Richtigstellung. Zusammenfassend: das Essen ist gut und preiswert, aber mit viel Zeit im Gepäck und der Chance auf unfreundliche Behandlung kann man im St. Angelo essen. Schade.

The people who worked here were really nice and friendly especially to my friends who took us their because they come quite often. The service was a little slow getting our drinks and ordering I would say took about 20 minutes and it wasn't that busy so just a little too long. They brought us some bread with olive oil and vinegar with olives, peppers, and onion which was pretty good. Then we had some bruschetta with pesto on it which was quite good. Then I ordered a Pizza which was quite good and it was like I got 3 different types of pizza in one because it was divided in three ways. The first was a salami which was alright, the other was a spicy pepperoni which I really liked and the third was a very spicy crushed red pepper pesto. Wish I was warned before eating this because it was really spicy.

Moreover one pizza was quite smaller than the other and not warm enough.
