My second time here, first was in spring with friend, now I took my boyfriend there. Truly amazing, their portions are big, luckily they offer takeout. Definitely will come back, if I’ll ever go through Köln again someday.
You need to check this place, however during busy hours I recommend reservations.

Thank you

I had a lovely experience here. I came in for a lasagna and it was delicious well prepared and full of flavor.
The staff were very polite, attentive and welcoming, which made the visit even better.
A nice place to enjoy good food and friendly service. I would gladly come back.

This was such a find. zi looked the look of it as I was shopping in the snow so came back in the evening. Great attentive staff who were Italian and the food certainly reflected that. The house Primitivo was delicious and I chose a Pinsa with prosciuto, basil, baby tomatoes and house made mozzarella. The crust was so light and chewy. The whole thing was great.

I visited this restaurant with a friend recently, & we truly had a lovely & wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly, in addition, the food was spectacular, very traditional & tasteful Italian Cuisine. Additionally, all the dishes were of reasonable price & the atmosphere was extremely comfortable & cozy. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, & I’d definitely recommend. The only disadvantage I’d say is that it’s slightly small, with only 4 tables available, however, since we’d reserved a table in advance, we didn’t face any difficulty in finding a table. However, I absolutely loved the cozy & comfortable atmosphere, along with the delicious food, & extremely warm & engaging staff. Overall, I’d highly recommend.

I had THE MOST delicious pasta dish at this restaurant during my visit to Cologne, Germany. I had the SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA ORIGINALE, the waiter suggested truffle oil as well and I was NOT disappointed! A wholesome meal, THE BEST ingredients – the BEST meal on a cold snowy evening. I will DEFINITELY be back on my next visit to Germany. The staff are super friendly, the restaurant is small, but SO cosy and with an excellent atmosphere. It’s a piece of Italy in Germany. Their coffee is a WINNER as well!

We reserved and had to wait 10min for our table, there was not a lot of space to wait and people needed to pass. So that was a bit awkward. But that’s part of the experience actually. It’s a cute and classical Italian restaurant. Good (and classical) staff and the pizza oven is in sight which is nice. Bruschetta was great, pizza was great, tiramisu was great.

This is essentially a trattoria but styled more like a local pub with its wood laden interior and bar. The staff is friendly and serve with promptness and professionalism. The portions are big and reasonably priced, but tastewise, the food they serve is nothing outstanding. The seafood is particulary bland in taste and clearly a mix of frozen products. As far as I can tell, they do not rely on ingredients of designated/protected geographical origin in general. As far as pizzas go, they have a neapolitanish look but the crust is not puffy enough. There are a few big black superficial burn marks instead of sporadically distributed small burns (leopard spots) hinting that the baking oven is operated at lower temperatures. Due to very high heat losses and associated costs (of gas or electricity) most ovens at similar restaurants are operated around 300 degrees Celcius or lower. The temperature is not an academic curiosity, though. It fundamentally determines a pizza’s taste and texture. Finally, tomato quality is always a good (and quick) indicator of the overall quality in Italian cuisine, because the aroma and the flavor of tomatoes is contributed by a multitude of chemical ingredients (sugars, volatile compounds, amino acids etc.) and almost impossible to fake or improve later artificially, especially during off-season. Here, they aren’t much different from what you could readily get from DM or Lidl. My actual rating would be a 3.5, and the current average rating is unrealistically high. There is nothing wrong with this place, it is just not an outstanding place to experience Italian food.
