Very overrated! Staff is arrogant (understatement) and food…read moreis mediocre. Far (!) better Italian restaurant on the other side of the river in Wyck! We've tried this place twice (to give it "another chance"), but cannot discover its "reputation". The formula of leaving your phone number and wait to be "invited" to dine, should say enough: arrogance all over. Which is not founded by the food you will be served: that is OK to GOOD (but definitely NOT outstanding). The fact that ruins the experience is the lack of decent service; FOOD 3,5 / Service 1. Definitely NOT recommended (again: cross the bridge to the Rechtstraat for the real Italian restaurants... Yes: more than one...!)

I didn't care for the fact that my plate was chipped and the French fries were something I maybe should've seen about substituting. Overall the décor and atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I certainly would return to and recommend this restaurant.

Yelp really let me down with this restaurant. We were in Aachen on vacation and looking for a place…read morefor dinner and the reviews led us to this place. The food was OK, definitely nothing special. But the service was an absolute joke. The servers just stood around and talk to each other, right next to our table sometimes, instead of doing any of their work. We ordered drinks and watch them chat about the weather and about a new grocery store in town for more than five minutes, right next to our table. Then one of them turned to the bar, which was just a couple feet away, and finally poured our drinks. And, in a first for me in Germany, the beers were poured about an inch short of the legal measuring line. (beers in Germany have to be poured up to the mark that matches the size such as .3L, etc) I thought that was illegal? The decor is cheesy, kind of like a Pizza Hut. This place is highly un-recommended. (Though it did seem popular with over-70 set.)

the best simple authentic italian restaurant ever... the…read moreservers were all sweet and kind. the bread was amazing with oil and butter... all of the pastas were fantastic! very lively atmosphere and reservation is the must. but we were very lucky and got there quite late - was still crowded though. they made a table for us although it was full since they figured we were a group of students who really desperately wanted their dishes.

This is the second time we ate here, with some 5 odd years between…read more The place is exactly the same as then. It's always crowded and even with reservations you will have to wait a couple of minits for a table. They will give a free aperitif while you wait. We had an appetizer together, funghi e lumache, which was ok but not great. The escargots were chewy. For mains i had the filetto funghi porcini (entrecote with cep), which was nice. My wife had tagliatelle mari e monti, which was excellent. I would have given it three stars, were it not for the price we payed, which was steep in my opinion. I think you can eat great here, but keep to the pasta.
