The first time I came here, I had no idea how they operated. I went inside, and the host gives me…read morea card. I was thinking, "OK, now what?". Then I told the host it was my first time ever at a Vapiano, and was unclear on what to do. He explained to me that I can go to any of the stations, whether it was pizza, pasta, dessert, or the bar. You go to the stations and order what you like, and then swipe your card. At the end of the meal, you present your card to the host, and you'll pay right there. So basically it's like a self-serve buffet, except you get fresh-made pizza and pasta cooked right there in just a few minutes. The pizzas was pretty good, Italian-style with a thin crust and a couple of toppings of your choice. The pastas were also pretty good; I had the spaghetti bolognese myself just to see how it was. The reason being is because I compare all spaghetti bolognese to the one I make myself at home. Not meaning to sound arrogant here, but I think my spaghetti sauce beats most restaurants anywhere, and as bold as it sounds, I would take the Pepsi Challenge against any of them, anytime! But I digress...
I had a couple of glasses of red wine; the first one was a table wine, and the second was a brand from South Africa, also pretty good. I was already satisfied at the end of the meal, so I had no room for dessert.
Overall, a terrific experience, and great food! Buon Appetito!
