In Los Angeles a salon pasta would come with little salmon pieces. Here the pasta came with 2 generous sizes of salmon and it was so good! The pizzas were amazing and large size. Made in a classic clay-like pizza oven, the dough was tasty and ingredients were fresh. We all left extremely full. Prices were low to me for what we got plus beer our bill was cheap. If you're in Köln and looking for a nice night out for Italian food then come here. Been around Köln for 5 weeks and this was the best restaurant here. I suggest making reservations ahead of time. Someone else said it on here so I did it. It was full the whole night. It's worth it to come here!

A week of meat and potatoes was quite satisfactory, being that I am meat and potatoes kind of guy. We had made a effort of avoiding Italian restaurants while in Germany, due to prior horror stories; was talked in to coming here for our last meal. It was a late lunch and we were the only customers at the restaurant. When I pick up the menu I was instantly disappointed. The selection seemed limited and the English translation did not add any flair. We must have spend 10 mins looking over the menu and no one seemed excited about their upcoming choice. The waiter who was Italian sensed our reluctance, and offered that he would make the choices for us."I will take care of you", which did little to ease our minds, but the ones among us that was more adventurous, soon agreed. We started with some excellent wine selection, follow by some amazing appetizers, and the amazement continued. Every single thing was beyond excellence. But the pasta was the highlight of my meal. A simple cream oil sauce on aged fettuccine, with fresh truffle shavings. I had a Argentine filet to follow as my main course, and I was more than willing to trade it in for more of the fettuccine. I have had good steak before but I have never had any pasta like it. It was the simplest yet the the most amazing noodles I have ever had. My great regret was not finishing the left over pasta from my colleague's plate (he had a unnatural aversion towards truffles), but etiquette stood in my way. The meal lasted 2 and half hours, and ended with an equally exciting bill, and prolonged discussion on whether a tip(which was proportionally sizable) was part of the local custom. In summary, a must try while in Kolon.

We were greeted in Italian by a very nice & welcoming young lady. It turned out to be the perfect place for a light lunch. We shared the antipasto plate, a basket of delicious bread & a bottle of water (which, much to our surprise, cost 6 euros. Half of what we paid for the antipasto) We ended our lunch with a cappuccino & left totally satisfied. We'll definitely go back for another wonderful lunch before we leave Cologne. Next time we'll add a pasta dish . We highly recommend Enoteca. BRAVI.

Das erste mal war es angenehm: ein netter Kellner, das Essen wurde verhältnismäßig schnell geliefert und war lecker. Beim zweiten Besuch wollten mein Begleiter und ich uns draußen an den Rand setzen. Ich muss zugeben, es war ein 6er Tisch, aber es war auch noch genug anderer Platz da. So steht ein schlecht gelaunter Koch oder Kellner (es war nicht so genau zu erkennen) in der Tür des Restaurants und fordert uns in einer unangebrachten Lautstärke und auch Wortwahl auf, uns nicht an einen so großen Tisch zu setzen. Selbstverständlich sorgte seine Ansprache dafür, dass wir von allen Gästen angeglotzt wurden, was irgendwie nicht angebracht ist. Warum wir nicht gegangen sind? Der Hunger war es und auch das gute Essen. Übrigens setzte sich eine dreier Gruppe an den 6er. Wir setzten uns an einen anderen Tisch, wurden von einer freundlichen Kellnerin bedient, mussten dann aber doch 40 Minuten auf Pasta warten. Wir hatten unterschiedliche Pastasorten bestellt, aber dann doch beide die gleiche bekommen. Nachdem wir so lange auf das Essen gewartet hatten (in der Zeit hätte ich es auch selber zu Hause kochen können), verzichteten wir auf eine Richtigstellung. Zusammenfassend: das Essen ist gut und preiswert, aber mit viel Zeit im Gepäck und der Chance auf unfreundliche Behandlung kann man im St. Angelo essen. Schade.

Listen up...This place has a hidden gem. The tiramisu at PastaBar was better than anything I had in Rome. The updated version still had the thicker cream but this time there was a bit more liquor (ok with me) and came with fresh fruit (outstanding). I've heard they also have a great chocolate cake (which was sold out). I will go back to PastaBar for tiramisu each time I'm in Koeln, and plan to try the chocolate cake as well. FYI - I deduct one star b/c the pasta was ok. Even though this place apparently makes pasta for Moroccan royalty, I preferred the more al dente pasta found in Rome.
