I went to La Contessa two times during my stay in Dusseldorf. Both times I had a great time with…read moremy family and our friends there. The atmosphere is very pleasant and relaxed. The second time we were there, so it happened, they had live smooth jazz music which complemented our time with friends. The music wasn't loud and didn't over power our conversation volume. The wait staff are professional and attentive, they speak English and the menu is also translated to English. If the owner is there, as well as the wait staff, you can ask for recommendations and wine pairing suggestions. On the first evening I had the liver and on the second time I had fish on risotto; both were delicious. For dessert we went with tiramisu; also very good. Overall, I found great value and quite affordable.

Cozy spot in a quiet neighborhood. Just a few tables but the large open windows made it bright and…read moreairy. It was a nice quiet place to bring customers, which was our reason for being there. Food was excellent. We started with an antipasto for the table and it was very nicely presented and freshly made. Only reason I didn't give them 5 stars was the calamari in my Risotto Milanese was a bit over cooked and a bit chewy, but this was the exception and the rest our guests were extremely happy with their food.

A birthday dinner for two last night, and we chose Saitta Vini as somewhere 'special' to go. We've…read morebeen there a few times before and the food is generally of a very high standard, with a wine list to match. It's pretty pricey (dinner for 2 came to EUR 160.00, including apreitifs and one bottle of wine). The food was excellent, starters (taglietini with black truffels & vitello tonnato) were delicious and the shared huge Sea Bass was cooked to perfection and served with a really fresh salad. Some pink champange to start and a delicious Sancerre were the perfect complement. There were only a couple of faults preventing a 5 star rating: They had somehow lost our reservation, so we were squeezed onto a small table - as nice as our neighbours were, we were effectively sharing a table with them, which prevented any private conversation. Also, as the evening drew on, and particularly in trying to get the bill, the service level dropped off as the restaurant became busier. Waiting for the waiter started to become a little tedious. Otherwise, highly recommended!

Third time here, third time the food was cooked perfectly. The wine menu is huge and there's…read moresomething for every taste. Highly recommendable is the steak. A beautiful piece of meat cooked to perfection (ordered medium rare twice and both times it was on point) and served with truffled mashed potatoes as well as a pistachio crust and balsamic sauce. Quite pricey but well worth it. The service is helpful and courteous. It was our second time there and the waiter remembered our wine selection from the last time, which was surprising. Overall a great restaurant with amazing food. Definitely on the more expensive side (as the location would suggest) so more suitable for a special occasion as opposed to every day dining. A reservation is recommended, especially on the weekend.
