After reading many great reviews about this place, I have to be honest and say I was disappointed…read more Now I will say that I only ordered a beer. That being said I tried two different dishes because people couldn't eat anymore. I tried the veggie ravioli and the black noodle seafood dish. The veggie ravioli I thought was bland but the sauce was quite good. And the black noodle seafood dish tasted quiet fishy which wasn't bad and the noodles were different but I enjoyed it. The place was really loud and smelled horrible like burning oil. It was like putting oil in my nose and Inhaling it. The food was a little pricy from what was being presented I'd say. The beer I ordered was Leffe. And it was a better version of a Weizen beer which are common here in Köln. A nice blonde beer with a smooth finish. Maybe worth a go one more time to actually order the meal I want.

Spencer & Hill was really good. I was with three colleagues, staying near the main train station…read morebut after reading the reviews I felt like this would be a great meal. I was spot on and the couple of miles walk there and back only made it better. We started off with the Godfather Pizza. Crust was perfect and the salami with the olives were incredible. The waiter then brought us three pasta dishes of his choice, and divided them into thirds. The pesto with shrimp was the best but the others were great too. Each pasta was cooked perfectly. We ended with a steak which again was split between the there of us, very tasty and cooked as requested, vegetables on the side were a nice compliment. No room for dessert but they all looked super yummy. Next time I'm in Cologne, I will for sure make another visit.

Die Begeisterung kann ich nur bedingt teilen. Bisher war ich zweimal da und es war einfach super…read moreund einmal schlecht. 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.

My wife and I were searching for a place for dinner on our honeymoon and stumbled upon this place…read morealmost by accident. From the outside it looked like a small, typical Italian restaurant and was fairly empty, which we thought was weird during prime dinner time. We decided to give it a try anyway because they had menus in English. But our expectations were low. We were greeted and seated immediately by a server who spoke English. He was fairly attentive throughout our dining experience. We ordered a Caprese Salad, a Lobster Pasta and a Risotto with marscapone and we were delighted right from the start. The Caprese salade tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and paired well with the toasted bread. The Lobster Pasta was full of flavor, cooked al dente, served with half of a lobster which also had lobster eggs. The Risotto was cooked just right with the perfect amount of bite. The only downside was the Risotto was quite rich and heavy from the marcapone so you definitely need something citricy to cut through the richness. We would definitely come back to try more dishes and you should too.

We ended up at La Dolce Vita purely out of coincidence. It was our second (and last) night in…read moreCologne, we wanted to sit outside, and we had been to the Eigelstein area the night before and enjoyed it. The waitresses were very friendly. We were served a basket of bread with a dish of olive oil and vinegar, as well as a small dish of tomato bruschetta. My husband had the rigatoni al forno (€8) and I had the tagliatelle with tacchino e funghi (€9). Both meals were absolutely delicious and I actually brought half of mine home. Definitely recommend.
