What delights me about this restaurant is how intentional the menu is. It's located in a…read morebusiness-y hotel, although it's open to the public for lunch and supper. All the servers speak English and German. Here's what you get to choose between:
Two soups
Three salads (the "Insalata di rucola" is my favorite!)
Four pastas (and one gnocchi dish)
Three pizzas
One (delicious) hamburger
One (acceptable) club sandwich
Two fish entrees
One chicken entree
One lamb entree
Three beef entrees
So if, for example, you are vegetarian, you can order the Caesar salad one time, the mushroom pizza the next, then the gnocchi, and pick either of the soups, and then end your week with the ravioli. It's just enough variety to get you through a week. Or if you eat fish, then you can put salmon on your Caesar salad, get the spaghetti with shrimp on your second day, then the pasta with salmon (which is good), the codfish, and finally the salmon entree. It's all carefully balanced to provide just the right amount of options for a typical business traveler on a one-week stay.
Pizzas, pastas, and dinner salads all cost around $15 (tip already included, but they'll let you pay more if you want). The entrees run closer to $25.
Important note about pizzas: "Peperoni" in Germany is a long, skinny, pale green vegetable. The "peperoni pizza" looks and tastes nothing like what Americans expect. I liked the "Pizza prosciutto di Parma" much better than the peppers-and-sausage one or the mushrooms-and-smoked-cheese one. Their pizzas are big enough that we liked ordering one pizza and one salad, and splitting them.
If pizza is on your mind because you're traveling with kids in a certain phase, then the pizzas on the menu might not be a success. However, they will serve plain pasta with no sauce upon request, the french fries are good, and the ice cream is cheap compared to what you would pay in an American restaurant (about $2 per small scoop).
