As a frequent business visitor to Muelheim and Essen it's…read moreimportant to find good places to eat and entertain . The menu looks, at first sight , standard Italian fair for the domestic German market, however the food was very good indeed. Anti pasti selection had many old standards,not radical cuisine,but the quality of ingredients was very very good. Linguini with porcini and truffle was super! Served in a Parmesan basket there was an added touch of flair with the chef grating a generous shower truffle on the plate at the table, very nice personal touch. Gorgonzola for last course took 20 minutes to arrive, but I'm sure that's because the chef wanted it to be at the right temperature... So no complaint on that score, Espresso , good authentic Italian roast, no Tschibo ersatz here. Attentive waiters and good value. Best place to eat within 3 km, no wonder they are busy ! Be sure to book in advance...wines ...long list, go for what you know...
