This is Kiel's best kept gastronomical secret ; ) Yes, you can have a very, very good Italian meal…read morein Kiel - who would have thunk it. However, you have to have a reservation, otherwise Claudio won't let you in after you rang the doorbell. The place is tiny - by the looks of it an old car repair shop - and the decoration is, well, let's say eclectic. The food though is really great, freshly prepared by the maestro himself in his tiny kitchen. As long as your are OK with a small menu and a also rather short (but good) wine list, you are in for a treat.

I was craving Italian food on my first night in Kiel. I came across this restaurant, which turned…read moreout to be surprisingly classy. They had cloth tablecloths and checked my fast fashion jacket at their coat check, probably because it was cozy inside. This is one of those Italian restaurants that feels like it could be in Italy. The menu seemed authentic with some enticing options. I ordered a cocktail as an aperitivo before my meal. I didn't have a reservation and even though it was busy, they managed to find a table for one. Check out Ristorante Rigoletto when you visit Kiel.

Small restaurant (better to book a table), table away enough from each other, and really nicely decorated. Go for it!

Unfortunately I did not enjoy this restaurant at all. We were seated after a 10 minute wait but we…read morewere ok with that as the place was crowded. I ordered their specials for today: a pumpkin soup and their portobello mushroom risotto. Both dishes were utter disappointments. The pumpkin soup was very watery, not robust at all and extremely, extremely salty. Because I had not eaten since the day prior, I nearly finished the soup. But I could not justify finishing the risotto. It lacked flavor!! The only thing giving it flavor was the little salami pieces! That's it! And there wasn't enough of those to try to uphold the dish. Also, the service was slacking big time compared to other restaurants I have visited in the area. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one.
