👍👍 That place was wonderful! The pasta were so great, and probably the best truffle tagliatelle I ever ate. Add to that the truffle burrata and some good parmesan, and they took me to heaven!

Ludari

Italian restaurant

👍 A nice evening including a spontaneous carnival performance. The atmosphere is pleasant, almost familiar. The fact that there is no "right" menu, just a small but fine selection of dishes, doesn't really bother us. Pasta Napoli is also offered as an alternative. If you want to try an alternative I...

Punto Pasta

Ego

Restaurant

👍👍 We were back at the EGO on Saturday. This time I celebrated the baptism of my little son there. As always, it was a great experience. The chef and owner Saverio LaLoggia has outdone himself again.

👍👍 It was indeed a great experience! The restaurant itself is located in a bustling area, yet not so crowded inside! It took only 5 min to get a table, even though we were told to wait.

Restaurant Il Bagutta

Italian restaurant

😠 I have never eaten Italian so badly. We went here for my wife's birthday because I wanted to give her a nice evening because of the high rating. Pro: the wait staff are really nice and try hard. Inquiries about the dishes (i.e. knowing your own menu) were answered with ignorance and had to be ask...

Mangia e vai Machabäerstraße

👍 Only place that was open late (past 9) on a Saturday night that still had space to accommodate our party. Friendly service. Food was decent. Had their salmon pasta, ordered a few different pizzas and basic pastas. Big portions! No one left hungry.
