Bistro Degli Amici in Köln

Unfortunately that was totally wrong this evening - food good, service/counter absolutely bad. I had reserved a table for 8 p.m. I was told it wasn't free yet, so I took a seat outside and waited for my buddy. Shortly after me, a walk-in (not reserved) came in and got a great table for two on the ground floor by the window. My friend and I then had to sit at a table for four in the corner on the first floor. Well, we then shared the Antipasto Grande - it was quite good, but I don't want to know how small the Antipasto Piccola would have been. The wines are nothing special, unfortunately the Lugana was not available. We both had the Gnocchi Giganti al Pisctacchio - I can only recommend it, it was very tasty and especially tip top with Parmesan and the two other condiments. Finally, I ordered 2 x 0.2l Nero d'Avola... I pulled myself together the whole evening that we got such a shitty seat and then they cheekily served us the rest of the piss from the red wine bottle. In the photo you can see that it was almost 0.15l instead of 0.2l. We are restaurateurs ourselves and we see when we are being cheated on. On request we were given more (without apology) and on the second request we were given a glass of red wine. We then refilled the drinks ourselves. Super embarrassing, I really don't know why the store is rated so well. In any case, we won't come again. The competition does its job much better. And at €95 (including tip), the evening wasn't exactly cheap either.

Small, cozy restaurant at the tennis court and a few hundred meters from the Rhine. Super friendly service and very tasty pizza. Simply great. Gladly again after the winter break.

Very good food and the DJ was outstanding.

Great food, nice and attentive service, clear recommendation (despite the rather simple atmosphere)

Today 18 June 2024 I went to Ludari and discovered that it has closed, a nearby shop told me that it has closed permanently, a real shame in Cologne you will no longer eat Italian as well as at Ludari.
