I walked out of there the night after they opened feeling like I threw my money away. They have no…read moreclue what customer service is. This was their second day open. You would think they would want to be sure everything was done correctly. When I ordered my burger well done, I bit into it, and will admit that the flavor combos on the cheese burner with jalapenos was pretty amazing. Until two bites later, the burger was not even medium, bit raw inside. I decided to take it back, thinking 'okay, they are new, and are probably working with some new people who are learning the art of burger cooking.' They made me a new one, but completely punished the burger, and me, for speaking up. It must have been pressed down several times to get all of the juice out and make it cook fast, but it was also completely burnt on the outside. if that was not bad enough, it was so full of salt that I couldn't eat it. I put it on the side thinking that perhaps because they were new, someone would ask me how it was. Not one person. While lI was waiting for the burger to be done, I started eating the sweet potato fries. About every second or third fry was cooked crisp on the outside but was raw on the inside. The temperatures for cooking the fries and the burgers are set way too high. A good burger is not fast food. When ordering well done at the Harp or at Duke's, it is lovingly prepared, cooked through and juicy. They have the art of the burger down. What a horrible feeling, spending so much money on a food after a hard day at work, only to be given crap and have nobody care that they are serving crap. Like I said, the first two bites were amazing. Please learn now to cook properly. Until then, I will stick with Duke's and the Harp. Maybe try the Lindenblatt Burger, which I also hear is pretty darned good.

I am staying in a hotel here for a trade show and taking the train to the tradeshow grounds. I ask…read morethe manager of the hotel what her favorite restaurant was. She said "the Greek place down the street. " She was totally right. This place is a great hidden gem. I've only been there two nights The first night was Saturday. They were very very busy, but they still fit me in without Reservations". I've always been leery about eggplant, but ordered moussaka. It was just plain awesome. Tonight I had a lamb dish. With big beans as they described it. It was awesome. The price was great. I love the interior of the place. I would certainly recommend if you're staying here to give it a chance. They do great work!

With the ubiquitous Italian restaurant practically on every corner, you'd think that Germany's star…read morecuisine would have to be a step above what you can find in America since they're so much closer to Italy! The reality of this is that most of these restaurants are lame stand-ins serving German-ized Italian fare which means my husband and I have been to our fare share of Italian restaurant flops in Hannover. Almost everything on the typical Italian menu around here comes "überbacken," which the Italians would probably translate into "melted cheese suicide." Exit the Italian wannabe stand-in, enter Fellini, a shrine to the famed director serving actual homemade pasta right in the Lister Meile in Hannover. It's a small space but brimming with hospitality and plates of honest good Italian food made with the attention to detail that the film director would have appreciated. The simple mixed salads that we ordered were already a preview of what was to come since they were basic lettuce, tomato, red onion and carrot arrangements, but nonetheless pleasingly arranged and plainly dressed with oil. They were super fresh and delicious. I didn't have to cut apart any iceberg lettuce 'icebergs' with a knife and fork to get it into my mouth. You could add your own salt, pepper and balsamic to taste with the extra condiments they brought to your table. The main dishes were earthy and satisfying. We had a few of the specials of the day including a steak dish with a coffee reduction sauce as well as the homemade salmon and spinach gnocchis in sage butter. The heady coffee reduction sauce and the gnocchi's unexpectedly heavenly texture with pieces of salmon and spinach incorporated into the dough itself had our taste buds asking for an encore but the portions were so generous we reluctantly had to decline dessert. At this point the curtains were already rolling down on this happy production but the smiling owner and head chef of the restaurant wouldn't let us leave without giving us a few hunks from a massive footstool-sized panettone they had gotten for the holidays. It was a Loison panettone and it was the freshest, moistest, most fragrant and absolutely the best panettone I have ever eaten in my life--a crowning finish to a stellar performance from an all star cast. I can't wait to go back to Fellini's to sample another act from this truly authentic culinary entertainer.
