First, this is basically a German restaurant that serves some pasta dishes and pizza. There are…read morebarely any truly Italian dishes. I had the veal saltimbocca. Very small portion served on a large cold plate with some decorative sauce embellishments. The meat was overdone and the sauce was basically a brown gravy that did not have any fragrance of white wine as it should have. No side dishes included. No pasta side dish available. NOT Italian. Others had the mushroom risotto. Very salty. The rumpsteak. Small, large piece of fat attached, no sauce served. The fish was the best dish but this was not Italian. The side dishes are expensive, small and just OK. So, the decor is stylish, the service leisurely, the food just OK and the prices very high. I don't recommend.

This wasn't the best Italian food we've had - the German influence doesn't help - but ambience and service helps the score. Both the combo appetizer and the Tiramisu are large enough to share.

I was craving Italian food on my first night in Kiel. I came across this restaurant, which turned…read moreout to be surprisingly classy. They had cloth tablecloths and checked my fast fashion jacket at their coat check, probably because it was cozy inside. This is one of those Italian restaurants that feels like it could be in Italy. The menu seemed authentic with some enticing options. I ordered a cocktail as an aperitivo before my meal. I didn't have a reservation and even though it was busy, they managed to find a table for one. Check out Ristorante Rigoletto when you visit Kiel.

Went there for a romantic dinner early november, on a week-end trip to Kiel, and it was perfect!…read more Really good food, (I had the gorgonzola ravioli), nice atmosphere, and excellent service. Small restaurant (better to book a table), table away enough from each other, and really nicely decorated. Go for it!
