BRING CASH! We just arrived in Cologne today. We were not in the mood for German food. Found that…read morethe reviews here were excellent so went here for late lunch. Staff was attentive, friendly and spoke English. I'm Italian and can be discerning on Italian cuisine so I was surprised to find how genuine and delicious the meal was. Pizza was prepared with a thin chewy crust and sauce and ingredients were very fresh. The insalata rucola was also delicious and fresh with plenty to share with my husband. The restaurant was elegant, artsy but not too fussy and not too noisy either. My only warning to travelers is that this restaurant doesn't accept payment via credit card! You must bring cash.
