Great Italian food and service!! Working a trade show in…read moreEssen several years in a row and have returned multiple times.

Leider so, wie man sich einen Italiener in Essen vorstellt. Einfache Holztische (????), eine super…read morenette Kellnerin und mürrische Kellner, Pizza mit viel zu wenig Salz, schlechten Meeresfrüchten und trockenem Oregano drüber geknallt. Naja, was soll man machen, in diesen Zeiten. Bienvenuti, amici - friss oder stirb. Ich bin sicher, sie haben es nicht leicht - aber ich hab es auch nicht leicht. Und 23€ für ein großes Altbier und diese Pizza ist mir einfach zu teuer (für Trinkgeld reicht es immer!!! MUSS).

Dear Pasta e Gamberoni,…read more Unfortunately, I live on the other side of the world but I will visit you next time I am in Essen (hopefully this year!) Your truffle spaghetti is out of this world yummy, with huge chunks of shaved truffle, Your spicy tomato sauce is also one of my favorites. Also, your panzerotti in cream sauce. Your gambas (giant shrimp prawns) appetizer is delicious as well as your mushroom beef carpaccio and the prices are more than reasonable. I love how intimate and cozy your atmosphere is. + how sweet all the people who work and dine there are. Your bread is like crack, and I could swim in your balsamic and olive oil selection. Don't ever change. xo Sincerely, me.

Worst customer service ever. Reserved a table upfront. But when we arrived, all tables were taken…read more It took forever to get some attention from the staff. Then they were extremely rude and told us to go for a walk (in icy conditions in December!!!). We were told maybe we would have more luck later. Don't even try to make a reservation, it does not help. They also don't seem to appreciate your business at all. I was never ignored so much or treated so rudely in any other restaurant before in the entire world. Would not try to go back, if they paid me to do so...
