Second real meal in cologne with my colleagues which was also random…read more Another Italian restaurant that was small but lucky enough we were able to get a spot. Starting off the ambiance was nice and warm with a very traditional Italian style decor. Oddly enough there was only one waiter and he was ripping it back and forth. He looked a little bit stressed but he was handling it quite well. There was a little bit of language barrier but for the most part he was nice and respectful to our ignorant asses. As for the food we ordered a few dishes to share. Appetizers that we picked were: Grilled octopus and salad - delicious as the octopus was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Dressing was almost like a Thai sweet chili. Scallops with lentils - well cooked scallops and the lentils were a nice addition. Tagliolini with porcini mushrooms - pasta was a little bit undercooked but not bad. A tad on the oily side and a bit bland. Main courses Entrecote with salad - well cooked meat with an arugula salad. Delicious Beef filet from Swiss cow - again well cooked meat with mashed potatoes and chantarelles. Delicious Overall the experience was good and somewhere I would possibly return but not a high priority as it wasn't mind blowing. Service 4/5 ambiance 4/5 taste 4/5 value 4/5

Average food, high prices and moody servers…read more We travel a lot with our kids and they are not strangers to Michelin star dining. The staff always comes by and interacts with the kids and does their best to accommodate. This time to my surprise, the staff commented when my 9 year old asked for ketchup. I guess this is too fancy for such requests... The prawns appetizer was band, the atmosphere was stiff yet loud and the main dish (branzino) lacked flavor for an Italian restaurant. The wine list was indeed well equipped. My highlight was the desert, but not worth the hefty price tag at the end. Our family will not be coming back and we will not recommended it unless you wanna spend $$$$ for an average meal.

I was invited to dinner here by a customer and being a Monday night choices for gourmet restaurants…read morein the Köln area were limited so we ended up here. To be honest I have no idea why this place has a Michelin star. Perhaps it's because the Italian waiter only speaks the daily menu and there is no written one or perhaps, it's posh table cloth ? Anyhow the star of the evening, the food, was only ok. I must admit it was slightly disappointing. I had fish as my main and I chose a branzino which at a good Italian restaurant should be perfect. It was pretty average and lacked any kind of flavour. To be honest I can't remember what I had for starter that's how memorable it was. Rarely happens to me but in this case, it did. Dessert was also average. Wine menu here is good with some nice choices with a Michelin price. There was 7 of us at dinner and I think most of them were only slightly impressed with the meal, I was not alone ;-) I don't think I would spend my money here again. There is plenty of good choices in Köln for fine dining.

Amazing little Italian spot in Köln!…read more The place is pretty small so make sure to get reservations! There is indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor is pretty tight so be aware. The restroom is located around the back in an alley! Staff was friendly and very welcoming here! Your meal comes with a choice of a salad or a potato dish! I got the potato dish and it was interesting but good!! O also tried the fish with crispy potatoes and it was amazing! Fish was very well seasoned! My friends love their pasta here! I tired a bit of the truffle pasta and it was great!

Great experience!!!…read more We sat outside and enjoyed the street feel and loved it. Service was great- pretty sure I was served by Jesus, or at least his brother, he looked so similar. Tempted to ask for a miracle. Spinach raviolin was excellent, as was the carbonara. Great work!!
