This was my first Italian restaurant experience in Germany and how it did NOT disappoint!…read more We needed a spot that was open late at night without reservation on Friday, since my husband didn't get off work until 9PM. This is actually pretty difficult to find for a non-pub, but Bistrorante Da Adriana is a full service restaurant that opens late (11 PM) and had very comfortable dining. Their ambiance is that of a casual-upscale versus rustic Italian, but you can most certainly come in with casual attire. The hostess was super friendly and lit candles at the table for the mood while we peruse their HUGE menu of fresh pastas, salads, pizzas, and drinks. I ordered the classic carbonara with spaghetti pasta, husband ordered the salmone with spaghetti pasta, and we shared a tartufo Italian ice cream. I love ordering classics as my way of testing restaurant's ability to make staples and chef did not disappoint! The prosciutto was generous and you can clearly taste the parmesan and egg yolks. But my husband's salmon pasta was exquisite, I was SO JEALOUS of his pasta. The sauce was flavor packed and rich with salmon flavor without being overly fishy. You can sense the small bits of salmon without it being texturally chunky. And the tartufo ice cream was a perfect finish to the evening, perfectly sweet cold and presented beautifully on a platter. All this food for LESS than 40 Euro with two non-alcoholic drinks. Extremely affordable, especially considering the portion quality and service. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who has dietary concerns (HUGE selection of vegetarian options), need comfortable seating/non-smoking (I'm pregnant so this was PERFECT for me), large parties, and a late-night spot in the heart of Kaiserslautern. This little unknown spot definitely checks all those boxes and we will definitely come back here.

I'm not a fan, but this seems to be the norm here. This place gets one star instead of two because it's one of the places in Germany that disputes negative reviews and calls them defamation.

You sit down and then you go back to pick up your order, once your 'number' starts buzzing. While it is a hassle to eat here due to the parking and it being downtown, it's definitely convenient if you are already in the area or you just got done shopping at the mall. They have a separate entrance for strollers and a little area for the kids to play, color and entertain themselves - definitely appreciate this so they can do something with all that energy. There have been many kid friendly restaurants in Europe(more than in the US) - and you can add Vapiano to the list.

Vapiaonos is a cool pasta & pizza restaurant located on the second floor of a building in k town…read more It has upscale and modern vibes, and being upstairs you get some nice views of the surrounding buildings. When you get there, you are given a card that you charge all your food orders too. There are pasta counters where you place your order to the chef at that station. After they ask you a few questions on how you want your dish modified, they begin cooking right there on the spot. Don't go too far away because, they are speedy!! Everything I ordered took no more than a few minutes to prepare. You really don't even have enough time to get bored and check your phone - that is how fast they are. I ordered two rounds of pasta because one wasn't enough. Not to say the portions were small, but the food was that good I had to go back for a second helping. My first course was the chicken alfredo, to which I added a second helping of chicken. I also ordered a side of the bruschetta. The Chicken Alfredo was everything and more that I was expecting. Creamy, Cheesy, the sauce was the perfect consistency and flavorful. I had some fresh shredded, not grated, parm added to the top and that really set it off. The bruschetta was equally as delicious. I'm not sure how they flavored their tomatoes, if they even did that, but they tasted very fresh and diced the perfect sized for a small handheld dish. I really have no major complaints about the Bruschetta because it was such an amazing dish, I was just expecting there to be some kind of mozzarella cheese and a balsamic reduction of some sort drizzled across the top. Again, not a problem at all because of how well it was executed without. After seeing what one of my dinner guests ordered (pollo picante w/ zoodles) I had a small sample and instantly knew I had to have a full serving to myself. I ordered mine with ziti noodles instead and I was far from disappointed. The sauce that it was cooked in is hard to describe, but it was sweet and tangy and really reminded me of what I think orange chicken from your favorite Chinese restaurant might taste like. Both dishes I would easily order again or recommend to someone coming for their first time. My experience at Vapianos was a very enjoyable one, and they are well deserving of a 5-star review, but I'm going with a strong 4.6 because consistency between dishes were very noticeable. There were two orders of chicken alfredo at our table, but cooked by two different chefs, and it was very clear one was better than the other. The difference wasn't as noticeable with the pollo picante, but there was still a slight difference between the two dishes prepared by those two different chefs. For anyone living or visiting the area, it is imperative Vapianos be at the top of your list of restaurants to dine at. Visited 1 May 2023

Big gripe (mainly with many pizzas around here is that for some reason "American" = "throw some corn kernels on that" haha!) Overall: An alright pizza for the price.

I decided to try a few things to give me meals for a few days. I ordered: Italienischer Salat: Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, corn, cucumber, pepperoncini with feta and a Balsamic Vinaigrette-was perfect size for a lunch-sized meal or split between two people as a side dish. Shinken Specialty Pizza (ham, mushrooms, garlic) and I added toppings of red onions, green peppers. This combo is always a favorite for me and I was excited to see that they already had chopped garlic on it. Their garlic was perfectly marinated with some olive oil and basil. The dough had the right amount of chew and the sauce was fresh and tasty. It had ample cheese and toppings. This pizza hands down delicious and enough for one person for two meals or one dinner and two lunches, if you're me. Gnocchi bolognese al forno: baked gnocchi with a bolognese style meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. This was very good; the sauce had a slight tang to it, which was curious, but not in any way a negative. I got four meals out of this. The delivery was quick and the bonus is that you can order and pay anytime in advance and let them know when you'd like it ordered and delivered. It showed up on time and both the pizza and the gnocchi were still hot and the salad was very fresh. I'll try some of their other dishes in the future, but the pizza will always be ordered. An extremely reasonably-priced meal, too. This is a new local favorite.

I have been in Germany three years and this was by far the WORST customer service we've had --…read moreEVER!! We PCS next week and my husband had this restaurant on his "return bucket list" (such a devastating shame). As a "Yelper", I mistakenly checked in at the wrong restaurant and was excited to see an advertisement written in German which stated "Gratis" [perhaps an appetizer] or €10 [perhaps off the meal]. I asked the female server if she understood what the advertisement on my phone stated and she quickly and flatly said "No" after looking at it. I thought she might not have seen it so I moved the phone closer and she changed her facial expression to show she was not happy (what a sour puss)! It wasn't a big deal so we ordered our food and watched a second family enter the restaurant. Long story short: the second family's appetizer (and dinner) was served before ours. Amusingly enough, they were also offered a complimentary Amaretto drink while paying for their food (while I don't drink, we didn't get a drink offer or a good bye). During our meal the female server glanced (and frowned) when she saw I had apple juice boxes for my small children (five and six years old). I guess she was upset that we didn't order two additional 20 oz drinks for €3 (that they fill up with ice). She was wise enough to hold her piece after the lackluster service she had already provided. What I found more disturbing was her and another male worker (presumably her husband) sitting on their cell phones at a table with their backs to us the entire time. We had to say "Excuse me" several times to get their attention when we needed something. For example, we ordered two small pizzas and they sent one to the table without cutting it. When my husband asked her to take it to the kitchen (to get cut) I had one eye on her and one eye on the chef because I wasn't feeling the love at all! I am not sure if I offended her with the Yelp advertisement but she spent the remainder of the meal with a sour disposition which was very apparent and unfortunate. Having just visited Italy in May I would have to say that the food at this restaurant was much tastier! HOWEVER, I would LOW CRAWL to Italy from Germany on the hottest day of the year before I ever dined at this restaurant again to be treated like a second class citizen (had me ready to dig deep into my Charlestonian roots and give her a history lesson on how to treat people). This staff might want to take stock of their customer service skill sets which might help them determine why they had two families in their restaurant on a Friday. I also work in customer service and to get through the day you sometimes have to give your customers the benefit of the doubt (even if they are wrong -- I checked in at the wrong restaurant). HOWEVER, she could have simply stated that after seeing the advertisement with the restaurant's name on top! I know how to say goodbye in several different languages but the only thing I have to say for this restaurant (and that server) is "GIRL BYEEEE"! Needless to say they got a €0 TIP!!
