You sit down and then you go back to pick up your order, once your 'number' starts buzzing. While it is a hassle to eat here due to the parking and it being downtown, it's definitely convenient if you are already in the area or you just got done shopping at the mall. They have a separate entrance for strollers and a little area for the kids to play, color and entertain themselves - definitely appreciate this so they can do something with all that energy. There have been many kid friendly restaurants in Europe(more than in the US) - and you can add Vapiano to the list.

Vapiaonos is a cool pasta & pizza restaurant located on the second floor of a building in k town…read more It has upscale and modern vibes, and being upstairs you get some nice views of the surrounding buildings. When you get there, you are given a card that you charge all your food orders too. There are pasta counters where you place your order to the chef at that station. After they ask you a few questions on how you want your dish modified, they begin cooking right there on the spot. Don't go too far away because, they are speedy!! Everything I ordered took no more than a few minutes to prepare. You really don't even have enough time to get bored and check your phone - that is how fast they are. I ordered two rounds of pasta because one wasn't enough. Not to say the portions were small, but the food was that good I had to go back for a second helping. My first course was the chicken alfredo, to which I added a second helping of chicken. I also ordered a side of the bruschetta. The Chicken Alfredo was everything and more that I was expecting. Creamy, Cheesy, the sauce was the perfect consistency and flavorful. I had some fresh shredded, not grated, parm added to the top and that really set it off. The bruschetta was equally as delicious. I'm not sure how they flavored their tomatoes, if they even did that, but they tasted very fresh and diced the perfect sized for a small handheld dish. I really have no major complaints about the Bruschetta because it was such an amazing dish, I was just expecting there to be some kind of mozzarella cheese and a balsamic reduction of some sort drizzled across the top. Again, not a problem at all because of how well it was executed without. After seeing what one of my dinner guests ordered (pollo picante w/ zoodles) I had a small sample and instantly knew I had to have a full serving to myself. I ordered mine with ziti noodles instead and I was far from disappointed. The sauce that it was cooked in is hard to describe, but it was sweet and tangy and really reminded me of what I think orange chicken from your favorite Chinese restaurant might taste like. Both dishes I would easily order again or recommend to someone coming for their first time. My experience at Vapianos was a very enjoyable one, and they are well deserving of a 5-star review, but I'm going with a strong 4.6 because consistency between dishes were very noticeable. There were two orders of chicken alfredo at our table, but cooked by two different chefs, and it was very clear one was better than the other. The difference wasn't as noticeable with the pollo picante, but there was still a slight difference between the two dishes prepared by those two different chefs. For anyone living or visiting the area, it is imperative Vapianos be at the top of your list of restaurants to dine at. Visited 1 May 2023

Now…read moreback in the US, we buy diverse stuff here (French butter from Normandy with sea salt crystals!) whenever we visit family, even if the drive is a little less than three hours now. Of course, we have to make a little stop for drinks. It's vacation, after all. This is the little bar inside Cora, not to be confused with their larger cafeteria style restaurant. Locals come here for a midday meal with a glass of beer or wine. Others have a cafe express. They even speak German here willingly. Of course, I insist of practicing my broken French (with a Parisian accent, lol). Bartender is a curmudgeon. It's so much fun to travel!

My friends and I ordered a variety of dishes from the wings (bone in and boneless - microwave - more breading than chicken), salads (overdressed, bad lettuce), burger (nothing to write home about).

I could talk about their generally overpriced food, and I could even bring up a few arguments about their menu. Or, instead I'll let their review average speak for itself. Few people I know like this place outside of it being a campy place to get wings, when you've managed to convince yourself that the last time you went there months ago it "wasn't that bad". "Wasn't that bad", what a great reason to come to a restaurant. One of the few American-style places on Ramstein Air Base, I'd be hard pressed to find any American who finds nostalgia or excitement in this place. I'd feel embarrassed taking anyone outside the realm of American sports bars here. J.R. Rocker's embarrasses me. The seemingly irrelevant NFL jerseys tacked on the wall tell the story of a sports bar attitude, bought and hastily tacked on the wall for a profit, with little regard for making this establishment special for any of its patrons. A true failure, that I hope to see die and see rebirth as something useful. Perhaps a White Castle.
