I can say without equivocation that the dinner I had here was, in my humble opinion, the best one I have ever eaten. And for years, my absolute favorite meals were at the House of Prime Rib in San Francisco as well as Sinatra at the Encore Hotel in Las Vegas! For my starter, I ordered the "Two kinds of asparagus" with grilled peach & Almond Genovese. For the main, I ordered the 60-hour braised beef shoulder. With that, I asked the waitress for the best red wine she had: She recommended the absolutely delicious Terre della Baronia. But before all that, the waitress appeared with an appetizer plate of breads & cold cuts. Delish! For dessert, I ordered the Tiramisu (of course!) and a nice glass of port. I've paid ten times the price of this meal at other restaurants and got nowhere near the level of satisfaction as I did here. The service, food, atmosphere, and price combined was pure culinary alchemy. Next time I find myself staying at the hotel, I may very well book consecutive evenings here at Trattoria Enoteca!

I love the Schloß Bensberg hotel itself and this, is one of three restaurants in the hotel. I have…read moreeaten in all three restaurants here. This would be my least favorite of them all. The ambience is excellent and the restaurant is warm and welcoming. The menu is Italian with a modern touch. They have an a la carte menu as well as a fixed menu with upto 5 courses. The wine list is reasonably big and the prices are on the high side for the choices they have. I settled for the four course menu, as did the other two guests I was with. They chose a wine pairing but, I did not. The flavours are ok but, nothing special. The only dish I loved tonight was the 60 hour slow cooked beef shoulder and, it was really good. The other three courses were average. I did not like the dessert at all and, it was my least favourite of all the dishes tonight. The service is friendly and accommodating however, I did feel, it was lacking a bit of coordination. The restaurant was not busy tonight and, I would have expected a bit more. All in all an ok experience but, I would not rush back here in a hurry. It's pricey Italian that fails to deliver great flavours in my opinion.

I was really thinking about how many stars to give, and it doesn't metter how hard I tried to find…read morea reason to take away a star, I can't. The restaurant is located inside the shopping center in a very central location on the ground floor. The tables are not really isolated from the rest of the shopping center, still this is not a reason for discomfort. However if you are looking for some candle light romantic place, keep searching ;) The service is great. Even if I was there couple of times this week, the waiter was the same, and because I like consistency, that's just perfect. At first sight the place looks small, so you wouldn't expect a really big choice. Well you just don't know how wrong you are. I have been too bigger Italians whit less too offer. Pizza, pasta, lasagna, and much more. Desserts and coffee are also on the menu. Now to the best part. Partly because it's small so everything is fresh, and partly because of the consistency I was talking about, the food is just great. I would recommend without any restraint to try anything from the menu. So if you are looking for alternative for the other Italians in this area, our just looking for something new, this is the place to be.

Though the menu is not cery various, everybody will find something just perfect for him. It's no need to say that you won't find neither internet nor TV here.
