I think it's a neighborhood favorite because everyone knows each other. It's my second time here (about 3 years apart) and it is as good as I remember from the first visit. Pastas are great; cooked perfectly. I had the American with spagetti and no olives. Put a little parmigiana on top. Bacon was lightly cooked. Perfect for this dish. Also had the special which was a German sausage in a spicy tomato sauce. The perfect German Italian dish. Owner brought over some grilled vegetables the were cooked to perfection. Did not have thIs visit, but the antipastas look pretty good too. Will have to return next time I'm back in Cologne.

I didn't know it was not the same place until we showed up! Ok - I called to see if they could switch from 8 to 10 - the person who answered didn't speak English but I thought he got it - my bad. They jumped through hoops and accommodated our extra guests which was not an easy task. LOVE the authenticity of this place. Great wines, fantastic food and excellent service. EVERYONE loved it and I was so grateful that they took good care of us since not only did I book the wrong restaurant I didn't update our reservation. They saved the day and it was a great place to boot. We will be back next year!

Die Begeisterung kann ich nur bedingt teilen. Bisher war ich zweimal da und es war einfach super…read moreund einmal schlecht. Das erste mal war es angenehm: ein netter Kellner, das Essen wurde verhältnismäßig schnell geliefert und war lecker. Beim zweiten Besuch wollten mein Begleiter und ich uns draußen an den Rand setzen. Ich muss zugeben, es war ein 6er Tisch, aber es war auch noch genug anderer Platz da. So steht ein schlecht gelaunter Koch oder Kellner (es war nicht so genau zu erkennen) in der Tür des Restaurants und fordert uns in einer unangebrachten Lautstärke und auch Wortwahl auf, uns nicht an einen so großen Tisch zu setzen. Selbstverständlich sorgte seine Ansprache dafür, dass wir von allen Gästen angeglotzt wurden, was irgendwie nicht angebracht ist. Warum wir nicht gegangen sind? Der Hunger war es und auch das gute Essen. Übrigens setzte sich eine dreier Gruppe an den 6er. Wir setzten uns an einen anderen Tisch, wurden von einer freundlichen Kellnerin bedient, mussten dann aber doch 40 Minuten auf Pasta warten. Wir hatten unterschiedliche Pastasorten bestellt, aber dann doch beide die gleiche bekommen. Nachdem wir so lange auf das Essen gewartet hatten (in der Zeit hätte ich es auch selber zu Hause kochen können), verzichteten wir auf eine Richtigstellung. Zusammenfassend: das Essen ist gut und preiswert, aber mit viel Zeit im Gepäck und der Chance auf unfreundliche Behandlung kann man im St. Angelo essen. Schade.

We were greeted in Italian by a very nice & welcoming young lady. It turned out to be the perfect place for a light lunch. We shared the antipasto plate, a basket of delicious bread & a bottle of water (which, much to our surprise, cost 6 euros. Half of what we paid for the antipasto) We ended our lunch with a cappuccino & left totally satisfied. We'll definitely go back for another wonderful lunch before we leave Cologne. Next time we'll add a pasta dish . We highly recommend Enoteca. BRAVI.

My wife and I were searching for a place for dinner on our honeymoon and stumbled upon this place…read morealmost by accident. From the outside it looked like a small, typical Italian restaurant and was fairly empty, which we thought was weird during prime dinner time. We decided to give it a try anyway because they had menus in English. But our expectations were low. We were greeted and seated immediately by a server who spoke English. He was fairly attentive throughout our dining experience. We ordered a Caprese Salad, a Lobster Pasta and a Risotto with marscapone and we were delighted right from the start. The Caprese salade tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and paired well with the toasted bread. The Lobster Pasta was full of flavor, cooked al dente, served with half of a lobster which also had lobster eggs. The Risotto was cooked just right with the perfect amount of bite. The only downside was the Risotto was quite rich and heavy from the marcapone so you definitely need something citricy to cut through the richness. We would definitely come back to try more dishes and you should too.

Service is good, sometimes, if you sit outside and there are not many tables, it looks like you're forgotten. Not very fast, but, as far as i've seen, that's very Italian. They actually look after you every now and then. Prices are OK i guess, no complains, but the Pizza menu could be better. They say they fulfill your wish and do any creation you'd like, but, sometimes my creativity is worse than Microsoft, i just wish i could see something in a menu that invite me to try it. They accept Credit cards only if you pay the whole bill. I can live with that, it's better than not at all.
