The owners and operators are all from the area of Italy called Regio Calabria basically south of…read moreNaples and north of Sicily. The all speak German, English, and Italian of course. The food was good and I ordered a plate of Bruschetta and when it arrived I was astonished that I couldn't even see the plate with all the ripe tomato's on top. The oregano is from Calabria hand picked when they go back to visit each August I assume. I also had a plate of pasta with meat sauce that was good but as normal in the north, a bit thin yet still very tasty. The restaurant was full with what seemed like locals who also seemed to really like the place. Outside is a small river or really large stream that is fun to watch. I say Give it a try since it really is the only nice Italian restaurant in the town. For the record I saw what looked like a pizza place nearby but it didn't look like it was open or in business.

The setting reflects the quality of the food. Everything is dirty: tablecloths, spicy sauce dishes,…read moremenus, chairs. Not one frame hangs straight, lamp cables are hanging everywhere. We waited 20min for service, in a one-room, five-table place, where the kitchen opens onto the dining room. The pizza was equally terrible: burnt on the outside, still raw at the center under the sauce, very few dull toppings. The "sauce" is basic tomato concentrate, straight out of the can. It is not seasoned, there is not even a piece of basil in sight. Avoid at all costs.

My sister had the pork knuckle with knodlen (potato dumplings) and it also was excellent.

This review deals with the Colombi restaurant…read more The Colombi restaurant is probably Freiburg's best dining venue, and it has defended its Michelin star for years now. The restaurant is located on the ground floor of the Colombi hotel and is decorated in the traditional Southern German style. It divides into several different smaller, interconnected rooms that are named after their distinctive decoration items ("Falkenstube", "Arvenstube", "Thomastube"). The place itself is quite spacious, and especially in winter times, having a spot next to one of the tile stoves makes the experience all the more rememberable). Food is inspired by the French cuisine, and the kitchen often uses traditional regional Badenese ingredients and serves them in a more refined way. The menu contains lunchtime offers priced between 30 and 50 EUR, and the tasting menu comes to about 100 EUR. The wine list is quite extensive and contains a great variety of German wines (Freiburg itself is located in the Kaiserstuhl wine region). Personnel is sometimes a bit uptight, and the local staff seems to have been told to hide their local accent which seems a bit pretentious (like wearing dinner suits for serving at lunchtime). However, they are always very friendly and knowledgeable. I have been to the Colombi restaurant on many occasions during the last years and have never been disappointed. If you like a refined approach to local Southern German cuisine, then this is a place I would highly recommend. Although you will also find the classic dishes that are expected to be served in Michelin-starred restaurants (foie gras, dishes using exotic fish or lobster, beef fillet), this restaurant is at its best when using local produce. And it is even great value for money !
