Nevertheless, I had this place on my list for ages and was really looking forward to it. When you first come in the atmosphere of a laundry place gives the whole thing a rather homey and relaxed atmosphere so it is rather easy to relax. You pick you drinks and after a few minutes the courses start. The reason why I was in between 3 and 4 is because single courses I've had better before but in total this place is a culinary experience and well worth the visit. Bring nice company because you are going to eat here for about three hours and food is best in good company. This menu costs 58 EUR and I recommend to visit their website to sign up for fish or meat courses because they switch daily. I feel very comfortable recommending this place.

The menu offers kind of everything: although for us Italians this might not be a good hint - a restaurant should have it speciality, not being able to do everything in a mediocre way, it was actually a pleasure to sit there and have difficulties among what to get. I finally made up my mind for the tagliatelle with Gorgonzola sauce (see pic), which looked great from the first moment I saw them. Properly cooked pasta, tasty sauce with fresh basil, maybe a little too much cream - but it's just personal taste. I couldn't finish it despite it being so good, it was a huge portion. The whole thing for 7.10€, very fair price. Also my friend's carbonara was great (see other pic). We'll definitely be back to try the pizzas and the second courses! Thanks Giovanni :)

We saw Vapiano's all over the place, a chain pizza pasta spot. It was bright and bustling, so we picked one to eat at. The place was clean, inviting and a bright spot on a very cold night. We read over the menu (they had english ones), went to the counter to order our salad and pizza. Next, we went to the bar to order the wine and my eye landed on that tiny little passionfruit panna cotta (two favorite foods put together for a heavenly flavor). I loved the decor, the kitchen is open and you can watch as they make your pasta or pizza. My husband and I both ordered a pizza, thin crispy crust, light on the sauce and toppings and just the way I like it, though my husband would have preferred more cheese. A lightly balsamic dressed salad and 2 delicious wines (chianti and malbec) from the well stocked wine list. We enjoyed our evening at Vapiano!

We got to chose from 12 spaghetti dishes which one to combine with soda - that was the lunch offer for 7.50. They also added a desert/espresso. The spaghetti were cooked just right (not super soft as common in Germany). The vegetables, sauces and for those who had ordered fish - it was delicious and little bit spicy. They offer sparkling white wine among others and it worked perfectly with the spaghetti with salmon. The interior of the restaurant lets you focus on the food. And yes, very clean toilets. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a safe choice or a place for groups.

Except the staff was amazing and made me feel comfortable. The seasonal tasting menu was well paired and the courses worked together. It wasn't too avant garde, although it was the first time I've had fried corn silk! The only con was they were overwhelmed by the rush and seemed understaffed in the kitchen as the output flow was not smooth.

It is a perfect place for a glass of wine or coffee and cake (the hazelnut cake was great!) but they dont offer real lunch or dinner food. There are some snacks though. The prices are pretty high in my opinion, yet ok to come and enjoy the atmosphere, but not affordable to become a 'stammbar'.
