My friend and I stopped in on a slow, quiet Monday in Nuremberg. Our waiters spoke to us in a…read moremixture of English, German, and Italian, ensuring that we were never really communicating. As minute after minute passed without them even offering water, my expectations decreased. The spaghetti was firm and not overcooked. On the other hand, it was served steaming hot - in fact, steam was trapped inside the pasta, making it harder to get into. The tomatoes in my spaghetti were acid-forward and dying for umami. The sauce needed to be cooked down to achieve the desired thickness. On the positive side, the pizza was better. We asked for honey to help add sweetness, which really confused our waiter somehow. Maybe it's not a common condiment in Europe? But they did have a squeeze bottle of it. I was hopeful for quality since they had a specials board, but really, this restaurant is a tourist trap.

After a long hot day of walking around Nuremberg we decided on Cucina Italiana for a late dinner…read more No AC inside so we opted for the patio. Food was good, not the best Italian but far from the worst I've had. Pizza had a nice crust and the pasta was hot and fresh. Not sure if it's a European or German thing but once you get your food you rarely see your server again and that was no different here. After finishing we sat for at least 15min before managing to flag over the server and ask for the desert menu - no upselling here! After getting the desert, profiteroles (we're ok), we again waited for an eternity to get the bill. Food, a solid 7 and service more like a 5. So many options in the old part that it's hard to say this worthy of 4 or 5 stars.

Worst experience in a while. Thinking I'll pick up some quick pasta at their street sales window to…read moretake home for dinner was a huge mistake. It started out easy enough. I ordered Bolognese pasta to go. Paid and was told it should be ready in a few minutes. No problem. So there I stand and wait. And wait. Another customer came by and ordered a pizza. Another came by and ordered pasta and when they received their pasta, I inquired where my pasta was. So I was asked again what I wanted and asked for payment. I explained I already paid but never received my pasta. It was clear this guy didn't believe me, yelled back at the kitchen, back and forth it went, then I was told it would be a few minutes. When the pizza guy received and left with his pizza, I inquired again about my pasta. Again they wwere trying to take my order and charge me. So I asked for a refund upon which the guy got really angry, refused and yelled that he will give me pasta. It was obvious he thought I was cheating him out of pasta. I did eventually get my pasta, but I have to say it was awful and definitely not worth the half hour I spent waiting for my 'quick' to go dinner. I am actually wondering if it was awful on purpose since it was plain to see that I was assumed to be a liar. So if you are going with the street vending, get a receipt for sure.

The patio is blocked off from the street traffic by umbrellas and big planters, which give you almost a backyard feel. Prices are very reasonable and the service is relatively fast and friendly. I see other reviews stating you had to order inside, but I did have table service out on the patio. I indulged in an Aperol Spritz, which was delicious. A large size generous pour I must say. I devoured my tuna pizza (yep that's a thing in Europe) as is was perfect. Lots of tuna, onions and capers with a delicious oven-fired crust. Highly recommend this place. I did not venture inside, so I cannot describe that part unfortunately.

If I was rating food alone, this would merit 4 stars. Service, however, would rate only 1 star…read more The setting was that of a bustling restaurant in an Italian neighborhood. The restaurant's menu (unlike some) had no English translation, though you can likely intuit the content of many dishes by some common, root language. My friend and I intended to split a pasta dish and had hoped to get an order of garlic bread. When we attempted to order that, the waiter seemed to shut down that option and implied that we would need to buy an additional dish to get garlic bread. So we ordered both a Margarita pizza and a multi-cheese sauce pasta (called the Formaggio), as well as some water and a single glass of wine. The food came very promptly, but with only one 'share' plate. We got a small carafe of water and a single glass (not two glasses). The pasta came with two slices of bread, which was not garlic bread. That said, the bread was delicious, as was the pasta. The pizza was not the best I've had, but definitely decent. As suspected, the amount of food was more than the two of us needed, but I feel like the waiter was trying to dissuade us from sharing a single dish. Also, he had talked down to another waiter trying to speak to us in German, saying to use English; but when he spoke to us, he did not have a very good command of English himself. Once we finished eating, dishes were very abruptly cleared away, without asking if we wanted dessert or possibly a take out box for the remaining pizza (or if we wanted our bill). We didn't necessarily want to take it with us, but it felt odd to not hear an offer for that. So, if you want good food and don't care about high quality service, definitely check this place out. Or, you may just need to lower service quality expectations in exchange for good food.

We ordered pizza #87, which had ricotta, tomato sauce and "bacon", though their translation of the term may have been a bit off, and the "bacon" was more like ham. We also got a plate of ravioli, which turned out to be 9 ravioli. My wife had I shared our food. First, the ravioli was great. They tasted very fresh, maybe hand made. The pizza was unlike anything I've ever seen before. We kept going back and forth with the waiter whether it was a regular pizza, a half pizza like we saw others getting, or a calzone. It was none of these. Imagine a square or rectangular pizza rolled up like a burrito - that's what it was like. Very strange but so good! Again it tasted fresh and you could tell the made it in a pizza oven. Regardless, it was spectacular. Also, there's a video camera in the kitchen and the feed is pumped onto a big screen TV in the dining area so you can see your food being made, which was cool; we knew our ravioli was ready before we even got it. Bottom line, this place is great and I would happily go here again.
