Core de Roma - Italian Restaurant in Altheim

Sorry, that wasn't exactly the best. I was there for lunch with colleagues. The service was okay. What was unpleasant was that the unused cutlery at the neighboring table was left on the bench while the table was being cleaned, where jackets and bags had previously been before the table was set. A slightly faded list of pizzas hung outside the display case, but they weren't even listed on the handed-out menu. Well, you can ask about them. The salad for lunch was drowned in a light sauce, presumably pre-ordered. At least the pasta from the daily special was hot. Unfortunately, that wasn't true of all the dishes. The lasagna al forno had probably been in the oven at some point, but it was briefly microwaved before being served and then basted with more sauce. Unfortunately, it was only lukewarm. The taste was okay, though. A basil leaf was added as a garnish. The portion size was very manageable. Even the women noted that they weren't full. We actually wanted to check out the website beforehand, but unfortunately, that wasn't possible because various virus programs had classified it as dangerous and therefore blocked it. We're giving it three stars because the taste was decent, the service was friendly, and the one-hour lunch break didn't have to be overrun. But at least for us, it will remain a one-time visit.

Finally, a REAL Italian restaurant that respects tradition! The Carbonara without cream was an incredible surprise! Just the right amount of cream, with an authentic flavor reminiscent of Rome. Congratulations for resisting the temptation of cream and choosing to make it properly. The Roman pizza is one of the best I've ever had: light dough, crispy on the edge and soft on the inside, quality toppings, and a unique flavor. A true delicacy that alone is worth the visit. Attentive and friendly service, a welcoming atmosphere: you feel at home, but with the quality of a high-end restaurant. I will definitely be back and recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Italian experience here in Germany.

We entered the pizzeria for the first time with mixed feelings. It was a gray, overcast day. The large umbrellas in front of the restaurant were still open, and it looked uncomfortably shady, so we went inside. There was little Italian atmosphere, unfortunately still a lot of the "old grape." We ordered spaghetti with tomato sauce and basil and pizza carbonara... and... we were absolutely thrilled! The service was friendly. The pizza had the thinnest and crispiest crust we've ever eaten. The toppings, however, were very good. The spaghetti was al dente, and the tomato sauce was homemade, very fruity and harmonious. Unfortunately, the outside wasn't inviting, but the food was recommendable! Oh yes, the restrooms were very clean.

The most abysmal restaurant experience I've ever had in a long time. But I was incredibly hungry, and unfortunately, I let that guide me. Ambience: It wasn't busy, the table we were assigned was dirty, and there was old cutlery lying around. Even after we sat down and ordered our drinks, the table wasn't cleaned or tidied. Food: I had spaghetti carbonara. When ordering, I specifically asked if there was any cream in the dish, and was told no, it was original carbonara. My carbonara was seasoned with curry, you couldn't taste any cheese, the egg was hardened, and it was noticeably lacking salt. We also had schnitzel with fries. The schnitzel was deep-fried, and the fat was significantly too cold. The schnitzel tasted only of old fat. The fries arrived cold and were unseasoned. The salad served with the schnitzel was from a package of ready-made dressing. The second star is only for the friendly service, but I absolutely cannot recommend a visit here!

Overpriced food poisoning. My partner's bill included the side dishes, even though the main course should have included one. For me, two prawns on the entire dish didn't justify such a price, and I'm sitting here a day later with stomach cramps, hoping it will stop soon. The appetizer was presented with total disregard. A chunk of discount mozzarella with discount Black Forest ham didn't seem very Italian. The waiter wanted to take a bigger tip, gave too little change, and then said he misunderstood it. If there weren't a small sign saying "Italy" on the counter, it would be hard to tell from the decor. Overall, the staff seemed uncoordinated. Never again.

If you want to eat delicious roast beef with onions, you've come to the wrong place. Instead of the 250g roast beef, you get a half-dead steak, just like on the menu. After complaining, we were thrown out. We then went to Brauwerk Zollerhof, where I was once again not disappointed and, as you can see from the pictures below, got a wonderful roast beef with onions. I got just under 450g for €28.

The pizza was great, and so was the beer. Very nice owners. It was lovely. I would go again.

The price/performance ratio for the salads was not good.

We haven't had such a bad meal in a long time. The salad was probably from a package, and the salad dressing tasted very bland. The main course was cafeteria-quality. We were disappointed!

Friendly owners and delicious, authentic Italian dishes! A true slice of Italy! Highly recommended.

Absolutely NOT recommended... I have no idea why the reviews are so mixed. Unfortunately, the roast beef with onions wasn't good; it was completely raw. The sauce was overcooked and appalling for the price. The schnitzel was, unfortunately, just breaded and tough. The wait staff just threw ketchup on the table. All in all: keep going.

We went there with the family and ordered three dishes. Unfortunately, my potatoes with the steak were probably already fried the day before and had just been reheated in the microwave. The salmon noodles were far too salty, and the cheese spaetzle tasted like a convenience store. Overall, the taste wasn't bad, and the staff was friendly. What was disappointing, however, was that the food was relatively expensive, but the quality didn't match the price.

We chose this restaurant for my wife's birthday and were more than satisfied from the appetizer to the dessert. There was no fault in the meal. Everything was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended. Thanks to the family.

What can I say... It was recommended to me, and I was a little skeptical because all the restaurants I've tried in the region are run by Italians who have been in Germany for years and cater more to German tastes than Italian ones. In the end, out of curiosity, I tried it... What can I say... Original Italian cuisine, I even had a special request that the Roman chef promptly fulfilled. Fresh products. Quality pasta. I'll be back several times until I've tried the entire menu.

These good reviews are incomprehensible. We were very disappointed. Our child ordered schnitzel and told the waiter it wasn't good. It was hard and like leather, which didn't interest the waiter at all. Our food was edible but only satisfactory. We also had to wait over half an hour to pay because there was no waiter in sight.

Unfortunately, the service is a complete disaster. Spend a little more money and get decent waiters who don't just speak Italian. The wait times are unbelievably long when there are more than five people. I waited 33 minutes for four drinks. A brilliant performance. And then making statements (yes, the other guests are still waiting) is absolutely unacceptable. There's no structure in the service. That needs to change as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it. Despite a reservation, the table was already booked, and there was a brief discussion about my name... I can only rate the pasta (intentionally—it doesn't deserve the name pasta). The portions were okay, but everything was relatively unimaginative and the flavor could have been improved. The carbonara looks great in the pictures. But that's because the color is enhanced with turmeric! Two stars for at least using real guanciale.

Unfortunately we had to leave because we were not served in a timely manner

After ordering, we waited 10 minutes for our drinks – an apple spritzer and a blackcurrant spritzer. I had to ask the staff several times about it; three of them spoke almost no German, only Italian. During that time, waiters kept coming out with orders and didn't know which table they were at. So they kept calling out "Pizza Margherita" and the like, hoping someone would answer. Eventually, he came over to me with the 4 Stagioni I had ordered, but it was almost cold. The result: a very disappointing and sparse topping for a mere €13.90, as you can see in the photo. At least the crust was delicious. In addition, the seating was far too close together, and the waiters sometimes had difficulty getting past the tables.

Excellent Italian food, prompt service, modern location in a historic building.

Great place, the food was amazing and people are really nice.

If you love Italian food, this is the place for you...I haven't eaten something this delicious in a long time🥰 Big thanks to the kitchen!!!👋👋👋 And all the staff...

Delicious food, attentive service, I can only recommend it. Harald

If you love good, very good Italian cuisine, this is the place for you! Highly recommended!

We had lasagna and spaghetti gamberti con pesto pistaccio. The spaghetti was homemade and very good. Unfortunately, the lasagna was only warmed up, and not even completely, as it was still refrigerator-cold in the middle. We pointed this out to the waiter (who also apologized), but there was no response from the kitchen. We don't want to take anything extra; we're more interested in offering constructive criticism and expect the chef or owner to respond. It's a shame, otherwise it would have been a better review, because the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the spaghetti was excellent.

We had to wait forever for our table to be cleared. It wasn't wiped down. After almost 20 minutes, we finally got the menu. After ordering, we waited 12 minutes for our beer, which arrived without foam and wasn't particularly cold. The pizza was okay. 2 hours to eat pizza.

Delicious flavor, spicy, meat and salad, sauce. It's nice and warm outside 😄🤌🏻))

For lunch, we had pizza with salami, ham, and mushrooms. It was delicious, with a crispy, thin base and fresh ingredients.

Haven't eaten such good spaghetti carbonara in a long time.

Good atmosphere, very friendly people and delicious food!

Super delicious, great shady terrace and extremely friendly service!!

Nice thin base Pizza funghi too bad the edges were burnt otherwise it was nice missed basil on it could have had a bit more flavor grazie mille ;)

It was okay. The salad was a bit disappointing (pre-mixed, barely any dressing on it, the rump steak was tough and extremely thin) – €20 is too much for that. The lasagna was good, but not classic (more like a tomato and cream sauce, no crust). The table wasn't wiped down. The service was very nice – unfortunately a bit too rushed; we were still in the middle of eating when the next course arrived. It wasn't a disappointment, but it wasn't something we'd repeat either.

Service is a disaster, and it's nothing like the always efficient team at the old "Traube." Firstly, communication is difficult because not everyone understands what the guest wants. Secondly, you wait forever for a drink, and often you're simply ignored because everyone is completely overwhelmed. We can't judge the food, but according to other guests, it's supposed to be quite good, provided you get it at some point. It's a shame, but service is the hallmark of every restaurant. Perhaps one or two of them should have just learned the trade first. 🤷‍♀️

We had a very good meal and it was good value for money. Fast service and friendly staff. You can also eat on the terrace.

The restaurant in Heiligkreuztal no longer exists. Information on the website would be the least we could do.

Very nice staff! Food tastes great! Only to recommend.

Simply delicious, and you can tell it's been prepared with love. A compliment to the chef, the staff is simply friendly and always smiling. It's definitely worth a visit, and I'll be back. Many thanks to the entire team.

Pizza was a Roma pizza, but rather worse in taste. Lots of cheese and little flavor. For pizza lovers, nothing better for a quick pizza than from a household oven.

Fabio's eggplant parmigiana is top notch!!!!

Highly recommended. Pizza base a little different than usual, but very, very tasty! Friendly and warm service.

We chose this restaurant for a couple's evening and were not disappointed. Delicious Italian/Sicilian food with friendly service. Gladly again.

A very nice, cozy Italian restaurant just great👍great atmosphere, delicious food. By the way, you can also take it with you. The service is very courteous, friendly and humorous. Cozy atmosphere. The best Italian in the area🍝🍕🇮🇹👍

We had dinner together in the fantastic restaurant today and we were thrilled. There were plenty of parking spaces in front of the restaurant. The staff welcomed and served us very friendly. We ate pasta and loved it. Very, very tasty and lovingly prepared. The staff even gave us a tour of the terrace, from which you can enjoy a romantic view of the lake. Certainly gigantic in summer. We are absolutely satisfied and will come back, thank you! They absolutely deserve the 5 stars ☺️

All pasta dishes are absolutely delicious Very friendly service I'm always happy to come back

Great scheff fabio dream pizzas

Fantastisch! Die besten Pastagerichte im Umkreis! Tipp: Spaghetti Carbonara. Sehr freundlicher Service. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Highly recommended. Friendly staff. 👍🏻

If you really want to eat authentically Italian food, you definitely can't ignore Core de Roma, Heiligkreuztal. The quality of the products is extremely high. The chef knows his craft. Everything is prepared completely fresh. Anyone who reads the menu will be left wanting more. At least that’s the case with us. Absolute insider tip for lovers of Italian cuisine.

Delizioso! One of the best pizzas I've had in a long time! The food is really fresh and extremely tasty, that's how fun it is! The pizzas are rather thin, not doughy but very well topped and fresh, the pasta dishes taste great and the boss and team are very nice! It can also be ordered for pickup or with delivery!

Excellent food like in Italy, excellent quality Made in Italy ingredients starting from the fresh pasta and great hospitality from the chef and the staff. We stayed one evening and for the rest of our stay in Germany we continued to go there every day. I highly recommend it.

Nice atmosphere, good food, attentive service.

We have always ordered. The food is super tasty, the employees are really nice and the delivery is quick and reliable.

This is my fourth time coming unannounced to this wonderful restaurant and every time I am enchanted... From the warm hospitality of this Italian family, from the tranquility of the pond next to the monastery, but above all from the Maestro's excellent cuisine. No matter when you come, everything is cooked fresh, authentically Italian "a la minute". The menu surprises with its variety, be it fish, mussels, meat, pasta or pizza. .today I first had a carpaccio of swordfish on a bed of rocket with freshly baked foccacia. The raw fish was gently marinated in lemon without too much acid, harmonious with the fresh taste of the sea, the arugula was crunchy, just picked from the garden, the focaccia was thin and arched fresh from the wood oven... Then the salad “core di Roma” is wonderfully fresh with artichoke hearts topped with fine slices of Parmesan. Then the aubergines were cut very finely and baked in tomato sauce with cheese. It came very hot from the oven. The sauce was made from fresh tomatoes and the whole thing was incredibly tender and homogeneous. The aubergines were without acid and with the skin on, very finely cut but still with a bite. The wine from Apulia doppio passato was precisely chambered and crowned the whole thing You feel a passionate chef who celebrates the cuisine of his homeland with genuine products and you wonder how he, in this small Swabian village with two hundred inhabitants, is able to create this magic day after day. Thank you Maestro!

Beautiful place! The outdoor terrace with a view over the pond and the original Italian food are a very special luxury for a reasonable price. The service was impeccable, reliable and very personable. The family business impresses with its high-quality cuisine and friendly staff. Grazie mille!! We'd love to come back :)

I was there with my wife, I felt like I was in Italy, the food was cooked to perfection, the friendliness of the staff, the friendliness of the chef, in short we were not in Germany but at home, highly recommended, we will see each other again as soon as possible

Last week, after a year, we were back in Heiligkreuztal and had dinner several times at Core de Roma. All dishes were freshly prepared and tasted very good. They cook there with love. We can wholeheartedly recommend the restaurant and look forward to seeing you again.

I often travel to Germany for work and every time I go, I stop at Core de Roma. It makes me feel at home, pampered and even a little spoiled! I highly recommend Core de Roma... because you really leave your heart there 💚 thank you!

Very friendly staff, Italian language skills are helpful for communicating, otherwise everything is great. The pizzas are different than usual, but excellent.

The food - especially the pasta - is incredibly delicious. I don't know of any comparable restaurant in the area where you can get such freshly prepared pasta dishes. Really a taste experience. The restaurant is beautifully located on a small lake. The hosts are very attentive and friendly! Absolutely clear recommendation!

Finally a real Italian restaurant!!!

Personale gentile e cucina da paura i primi romani sembra di mangiarli davvero a Roma e anche i secondi sono davvero speciali

Excellent food and very kind and knowledgeable staff. I will definitely go back.

Super tasty and really Italian. If you love real Italian cuisine, you have to come here

Food was very good. Good Italian cuisine. We had a very nice evening. Gladly again.

Excellent cuisine, the best in Germany!!

Excellent place, high level Italian cuisine, I recommend you go there in the evening guys

alles sehr gut good. Excellent carbonara. Very nice service and owners. I recommend it to everyone. I hope to return soon.

Hello, I have rarely eaten such a bad pizza, very poorly topped, knife blunt and the tablecloth dirty😏it didn't seem appetizing to us. You could do more with it because there were enough staff. Sorry because the staff was friendly. M. MATZ

Perfect in every way, I loved it, real Italian flavors and service.

There were 8 of us and we were very surprised that everyone was able to eat together. Service was quick and friendly. The food was hot, very well seasoned, whether pizza, gnocchi or spaghetti, everything was very tasty.

Mega delicious food. Everything fresh. Friendly staff. Very attentive. We felt very comfortable. Starter super tasty. Also recommended Suppli. Is a breaded rice and mozzarella. The main course was super tasty and also happened very quickly. And dessert was super delicious. We would definitely like to come back and can highly recommend it.

Delicious food: Risotto ai carcioffi/artichokes, Caccio Pepe, friendly and cheerful service, nice atmosphere inside and on the terrace by the pond.

It was very delicious. Price performance ratio is right. The operators were very friendly

Super nice service, nice atmosphere and very tasty food. Highly recommended 👍🏻🙂

Spectacular food, fresh fish, very friendly and very nice staff make me feel like I'm in Italy 😜👍

We were able to enjoy our second girls' evening here today. Everything like in Italy. The best restaurant beyond the Alps. Dear Fabio and team, thank you very much for the lovely evening

Posto bellissimo sia dentro che fuori, personale cordiale e mangiare veramente italiano a tutti gli effetti pesce freschissimo 😍😍😍😍 veramente bellissimo ottimo

Beautiful restaurant, I was there last year under the new management, excellent food, fantastic welcome, as if I were at home, the spectacular chef, very creative in preparing the dishes. The best restaurant I could choose. They deserve all 5 stars, both for the management and for the friendliness and work they do, best Italian cuisine ever, perhaps the only place that makes you feel Made in Italy even far from Italy..... anything but 5 I would even say 7 stars!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent Italian restaurant in the heart of Germany

I haven't found a cacio e pepe like this even in Rome... wuuuf

The location is beautiful but then there were "rats" the tables around us weren't cleared, you had to call the waitress to even notice that there was someone around us and after 20-30 minutes of waiting, guests simply left, which is understandable. Wrong food was served. Coffee, espresso didn't taste good.

You can't call it food, you had to look for the minced meat in the lasagne, the service gave you the impression that you were being disturbed, you had to look for the pasta with scampi, unappetizingly prepared, the downfall of what was served for Italian cuisine becomes

It is the only restaurant in the area. We were very satisfied. The white lasagne tasted delicious.

A wonderful experience, exquisite and satisfying to say the least cuisine that goes together with a wonderful location. Highly recommended to everyone, my partner and I will certainly return several times. Kind, courteous and competent staff, always ready to satisfy any of our needs. It's not easy to find a restaurant like this. Vote 10!

Excellent cuisine, exquisite staff.

True ITALIAN cuisine in Germany, delicious food not to mention the excellent service!

Great Roman cuisine! It's worth a visit, even a detour! Everything is fresh and to the point as well as balanced in taste. Class! And then the typical Roman charm in the service! Kind and courteous. Would be my favorite Italian if I lived nearby. Grazie mille.

True Italian cuisine. Friendly staff and quick service 🔝

The first impression counts. Unfortunately we were disappointed, we both had a pizza. Pizza Salami and Pizza Napoli. The dough was thin and crispy but there was no love behind it. There was also no typical edge as we know it. Unfortunately, the taste just got better. The glasses also had water stains. Unfortunately a bad recommendation.

We were there for lunch today and had a really delicious Italian meal on the beautiful terrace - an insider tip👍👌

There is a real feeling of Italian hospitality here. We drank beer and ordered bruschettas. The bruschetta was prepared according to the rules. That was nice because in German restaurants you sometimes get bruschetta as a normal sandwich with a tomato 🤷‍♀️.

Very good restaurant. In a quiet area with wonderful nature. Delicious food, excellent service.💐

Were there for the first time. The food tasted excellent and the portions were very good. Come again

Friendly staff. The food is all good, I recommend you try it

I arrived today and, despite the restaurant being closed, I got a portion of spaghetti carbonara and my after-work beer. The food was delicious and the friendliness of the owners couldn't be beat! Thank you very much! Yours Dieter
