Eat Italian - Cologne

General We wanted to visit Christmas Garden Cologne in the zoo. Some time ago (December 2019 the China Light Festival at the Cologne Zoo was very impressed. But the show of 2021, unfortunately, was far from enough. That on the edge. We drove by car to the zoo and then with the mini-group card by train again across Cologne to some Christmas markets. In the runway we did not want to set ourselves to a restaurant because the time window would have been severely restricted. If the hunger in the afternoon was to report, we spontaneously wanted to enter a place (without reservation – but also no french yard to stand. It already has a neat room for guests. But also delivers and pick up goes. So it looked neat and the hunger was already there. Ambiente The restaurant has a very good location, close to the ring. Inside you will find a long hose room. The bar counter is particularly in the eye. You have the feeling of being in a cocktail bar. There are also some high tables and stools. However, we wanted normal deep places to sit. And we got a decent table without any reservation. I found the ceiling construction through the room quite noticeable: many roof lobes and cables blew over us in the air. Cleanliness Everything looks neatly maintained. The toilets were in the basement. The steps down were quite steep. But the plant was also well maintained. Service A young man was responsible for us and did a good job. There is a small lunch ticket from 12 to 4 pm. But also the complete offer can be selected (the pizza was from the big map, the others from the lunch offer and current dishes. All of this is on cribs on a clamping block. The delicious food Tagliatelle Lachs Babyspinat garlic onions Lemons White Wine Cream sauce – 9,90 € Pasta is hardly a risk. That's how it was here. According to the statement made and prepared al dente. The little salmon pieces were tidy. The remaining ingredients were also tastefully dressed. Altogether a decent plate. Gnocchi Brokkoli Gorgonzola cream sauce – 9,90 € Because of the Gorgonzola sauce, my wife jumped to the dish. But the gnocchi did not taste. They were too soft for them and hardly spiced. But the Broccoli pieces were still the salvation; for they were at least bite-resistant and fit well with the sauce. Pizza Buffalina Tomato sauce Buffalo mozzarella Cherrytomaten Rucola Balsamicocreme 14,00 € The pizza was probably also the best of all orders. She was tall, thin. Backgrad was good. The edition was attractively distributed and tasty. Drinks Aqua Morelli 0,75 l – 6,00 € Price Performance Ratio For Cologne's conditions in good location quite pleasant. We had feared higher prices; After all, we had not “lightened” the place before, but rather came in quite spontaneously. Conclusion 3 – if it results. Everything was fine for hunger in the meantime. But the little italian restaurant you love because of its flair, it was rather not; the ambience was too freaky. The dishes were neat but also not stunning. The homepage finally says: “Italy – that awakes the longing for the sun, sea, the food outdoors and all the delicacies that the country has to offer. After the scent of freshly grated parmesan, spicy herbs ...” and we did not feel that way. But the courts were no disappointment. It's all right this day. However, for further visits with longer residence time, it did not necessarily push up. (1 – certainly not again, 2 – hardly again, 3 – if it turns out again, 4 – happy again, 5 – absolutely again – after “Kuechenreise” Date of visit: 08.12.2021 – later noon – 3 people My pleasure experiences are also at [here link]

Unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment. I had called a few days before in the restaurant to discuss details. when we arrived, the service ladies were not very common, suddenly went only cash payment, the booked table for 3 people had been tried to deprive us of gluten-free alternatives, then there was not, so the reservation was completely pointless. never again!

Mega tasty we were very satisfied if I am again in a carol then I will go to dinner there again

Nice location with good food. Very good price-performance ratio.

Super leckere Pizza, tolle Atmosphäre, gute Musik live Dj, hat mir gut gefallen
