Da’s Lupo in Köln

We were there on Friday evening and even got a place for 4 people without a reservation. The prices are decent, but the service is really TOP! I haven't had such attentive and nice waiters in a long time. Thank you for the lovely evening :)

After an hour, we were finally able to order food, despite having a reservation. Another hour later, the appetizer arrived, another hour later, the main course, and so on. The atmosphere in the restaurant was so bad that we had to sit outside. The food was delicious, but unfortunately, the service was subpar.

Unfortunately the trip to the southern part of the city wasn't worth it. Service good. Food rather bad. It's a shame, it's also a little too loud.

We were disappointed with the food, which was on the higher end in terms of price. It simply wasn't balanced in terms of taste, the starter was too rich, the main course was too narrow... The service was very demanding that evening, but still very nice.

We come from Cologne and have wanted to try the restaurant for a long time. The ambience is cozy at first glance, but the smell of fuel paste (? candles?) plus the cigarette smoke from outside really bothered us when we went in, even though we weren't sitting right at the entrance. The waiter could At the beginning they only offered us a drinks menu because the menus were all in circulation, and the restaurant wasn't even 2/3 full. The drinks and the food (we had three starters, a main course and a dessert) were totally fine, but the way the food was served left me speechless. The waitress's hair (long pink hair) was OVER the food as she brought it to the table. This is a NO GO and should definitely be communicated. In principle, there were a lot of waiters there, but you still had to wait a long time and loudly draw attention to yourself in order to order more drinks, and, as I said, the place wasn't even full. We were disappointed.

I've always enjoyed going to Lupo, but yesterday the service was absolutely subpar. Despite a reservation, we had to wait 45 minutes for our table, the food came at 10 o'clock in the evening (1.5 hours after our reservation), the last course after 11. The restaurant looked totally chaotic, empty glasses everywhere and it was over 30 degrees inside. All in all, unfortunately not at all what it used to be and what you would expect for the price. They couldn't even offer us a free aperitif or something similar for these absurdly long waiting times. I'm not coming back anymore

There is no sensible entry regulation at carnival. Number of people in the store not limited, really perceived as a dangerous environment. No thanks. It's no fun like that!

Excellent food, relatively large portions

Unfortunately we were disappointed this evening, Everything in itself tasted good, but with the truffle pasta for 30 euros I only got a large portion of pasta with truffles with very little sauce and for my husband the portion was really too small. All in all the food was good, but for the price you pay you can get much better food in Cologne.

Really good food and great service!

Dear Da's Lupo team, three stars and ambience only one star because the smell of a charcoal grill was so pungent that even today my entire clothes and bag still smell of charcoal. When we asked, we were told that there was a problem with the ventilation. The extremely strong smell of barbecue, fire and wood really affected the evening. And some items of clothing can't just be put in the washing machine... that's really annoying. And when you then hear that the problem is known and the service person confirms that she "can't go anywhere after her service because she smells so strongly of barbecue," then I honestly find that worrying.

Cozy, very good Italian cuisine, the olive oil is a real treat, great wine selection, great for a special evening with culinary delights.

One of my favorite restaurants in Cologne. Great food, very cozy atmosphere, good drinks and very friendly service. I just like it a lot. Especially Inga. 😍

A great location with excellent food.

Nice atmosphere, the food was delicious, good wine. Unfortunately, you're not allowed to sit for as long as you want. This depresses mood and consumption...

Ich mag das Restaurant. War im Sommer da. Das war großartig. Gestern ging es nur so. 90min aufs Essen gewartet. Das geht nicht. Mein Essen war nicht mehr so warm. Im Ganzen Raum hätte man auch ein bisschen mehr heizen können

Very good service and delicious food!

We were served by a really nice gentleman and were allowed to taste the mixed starter plate and the venison. Everything to our absolute satisfaction and with a warm recommendation.

Great shop, perfect service and wine advice (Inga is unbeatable and always makes the evening special)!! Menu encourages you to try new things!! Great evening!

Wie immer ein sehr schöner Abend mit gutem Essen in schönem Ambiente!

Sehr schöner Abend. Super Service ( Inga makes you feel at home!); Weine und Essen sehr anregend!! Nur zu empfehlen!!

Sehr lecker. Den Preis wert. Etwas laut, Tische etwas eng. Wir haben uns aber sehr wohl gefühlt. Auch toller Service.

10/10 Great service, Unbelievably good food. An example to restaurants.

Great food, great service, very nice restaurant! Recommendation!

Service at star level. The waiter last night was really great. Greetings to Iran ;). Food, no question - really great. The wait for the table that we had spontaneously requested was sweetened with a cava. We would love to come back and leave a lasting impression because of the service. Thank you!

Staff very attentive and extremely friendly 💋❣️...very chilled and cozy

Delicious food, nice service, unfortunately we had to leave after 2 hours on the Saturday evening because there was another reservation,

There were five of us there and we had a wonderful evening! The young staff is extremely charming and courteous; also well informed about the excellent wine list! I really liked a Roero as an open wine - you rarely see that! The food was very good! A nice selection and perfectly prepared and seasoned. The portions are big! We shared starters and didn't really need dessert (but the selection was too tempting). We'll be back! Many thanks to the team for a successful evening!

Round thing! Nice shop, you can sit outside and inside. Nice and courteous service. Special wines. Very tasty, well-seasoned dishes made from high-quality ingredients. Portions are absolutely sufficient for a price that is almost too good. Been there twice now and will definitely go back :-)

Top Service- und Barmitarbeiter! Hatten einen sehr schönen Abend bei euch 😊

Excellent restaurant! The food was exceptional. Very generous portions and the service was superb. Would definitely come back next visit to Cologne

I haven't experienced such great service in a long time ❤️ Was here for my birthday and was immediately warmly welcomed. The dips with the bread as a starter were great - especially the one with mortadella. The pasta was fresh and had lots of seafood. The waiters are all very friendly and have created a comfortable atmosphere. I'd love to come back!

Ein tolles Service-Team, das auch bei kritischen Gästen stets professionell und freundlich agiert ;) Leckeres Essen und guter Wein in einem tollen Ambiente!

Very friendly restaurant and the food is excellent. Inga, Falk and Valery best service ever. Always happy❤❤❤❤

Thank you for the wonderful evening! Great food, super nice and attentive service and a really nice atmosphere. 🤩

First of all, big compliments to Valeria, who served us. It is very rare to have such nice, courteous and warm service and we really felt completely comfortable and well advised. Food was also wonderful. I can only recommend the truffle pasta to every truffle fan. :-) the prices are absolutely reasonable for the overall package. We'd love to come back!

Von der 1. Sekunde an ein wunderbarer Abend mit bester Aufmerksamkeit und Service der drei jungen Damen, die sich um unseren Tisch gekümmert haben. Wir kommen definitiv bald wieder! Vielen Dank!

Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience with this restaurant. We got there at 8:15am and had to wait 50 minutes for someone to take our order. We sat outside but as the weather was a bit chilly we asked if we could sit inside. Yes, of course – right in front of the toilet! It's really great to sit in front of the toilet and eat for two hours😖. The menu was not sufficiently informative regarding the ingredients. For example, I ordered beef carpaccio as a starter and it had a raw egg yolk🤢🤢, truffles and parmesan!! That was totally disgusting. How many people like raw egg yolks on their food? Also, there were no shrimp on my beef carpaccio, which you can see in the photos online. The main course was okay, but the dessert was really good, so I give it three stars overall. I will never go there again! Sometimes I don't understand people - why pay so much money for an average menu with the worst service? The photos and menu online may disappoint as I assume the menu is constantly changing.

Very nice, cozy restaurant with top service! We felt very welcome, the food was very tasty and the menu combo is a good idea.

Es war alles perfekt. Essen super lecker und der Service sehr nett, auf Zack und zuvorkommend! Wir haben uns insgesamt sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.

Wie immer: lecker und nett! Die Karte ist originell, der Wein ist gut und man sitzt und outdoor gemütlich mit Freund*innen

Stylish and cozy restaurant. The food was super delicious. The croquettes with veal bolo as a starter were terrific :) The truffle pasta was also simply delicious. Praise goes to the service. He was super accommodating and very customer-oriented. A big thank you goes to Valeria in service. She looked after us so professionally and attentively. Unfortunately, this is very rare. Great recommendation, we'll be back :)

Fantastic food!! In addition, I have rarely experienced such great and sensitive service :) All in all, totally recommended ☺️

Super delicious food. The service was very, very correct and all the employees were very friendly

Nice and cozy restaurant. The staff is very accommodating. The food is a real culinary delight. The wine recommendation was top. It is really pleasant that there is only a “small” menu. The restaurant was recommended to me and I will happily go there again.

Leckere kreative Speisen und toller zuvorkommender sehr netter Service. Alkoholfreier Spritz genial ! Gesamt-Preis total ok

Das Essen, sowie das Ambiente eine 10 von 10! Die Bedienungen sind sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Wir lieben es!

Trüffelpasta sehr teuer und schmeckt sehr künstlich. Kalbsbolognese sehr lecker

Food top. However, it took more than 3.5 hours from starter to dessert

Overrated in my opinion! The service was friendly, but everything was extremely disorganized. After 30 minutes something to drink finally arrived, and after 90 minutes the pasta finally arrived. Waiters had to keep asking us, as well as the neighboring table, what exactly was ordered. The pasta didn't really impress us, so it was ok, but I would have expected more for Massimo. The burrata was really good, hence the points, everything else was very sobering. I won't go to the Lupo anymore, but I will go to the Massimo in the Südstadt again.

Very nice food, friendly service and good ambiance. Due to busy evening the people who served the food missed a couple of things. Very recommended.

Food was great! Very nice spot on the street. Service was friendly but they gave the impression they were very busy. They were, but they were less attentive wbhich made the service less personal.

Incomprehensible! It was our first time eating there and we had a wonderful evening there! My truffle pasta was incredibly tasty, nice staff, very personable, the service was very attentive, great atmosphere. We were thoroughly impressed and will definitely be back soon.

We had a wonderful evening at Da’s Lupo yesterday. As soon as we entered we were warmly welcomed and felt completely at home from the first to the last second. The wine list offers something for every taste, and after sampling a bit, choosing the perfect wine was easy. Our culinary journey began with delicious Kalamata olives and an extraordinary treat: churros with parmesan and truffle mayo (see photo), which we can highly recommend. For the main course we enjoyed a delicious truffle pasta and a wonderful pasta dish with mussels in white wine stock. Both dishes fully met our expectations. The whole thing was rounded off with a perfectly prepared espresso. Thank you, Da’s Lupo, for this magical evening – it felt like a little vacation. We'll definitely be back!

Alles wie immer hervorragend (: Bedienung immer sehr zuvorkommend

Yesterday I went to Da's Lupo with my friends for the first time and was absolutely thrilled. Great ambience, nice service staff and fantastic food! I'll be back :)

The best truffel pasta, with AMAZING service! We had a lovely time with some fine wines. If you are in Köln, this is the place to be for a foodie.

Mega freundlicher Service Essen lecker Gute Location

Fantastico! We had a very nice evening with charming and humorous service. The food - starter platter for 2 and a main course of fish and vegetarian - was all very delicious, perfect portion size. We are full and very satisfied and would love to come back!

Unsere Bedienung Inga war herausragend!! Super persönlich und engagiert!! Das Essen war köstlich 😋.

Zunächst war es sehr dunkel, man gewöhnt sich aber schnell an das Licht. Empfang war herzlich, und der Service hat gute Empfehlungen für den richtigen Wein zum Essen etc. Das Menü war sehr lecker, der Vorspeisenteller sehr kreativ zusammengestellt mit interessanten Kreationen. Sehr lecker war die Vitello Krokette und der Spargel mit Rabarber und Burrata...Es warxein sehr schöner geselliger Abend. Später war es,sehr laut!

fine dining without chi-chi - we had THE perfect girlfriends evening in Da's Lupo yesterday. A wonderful ambience, super delicious and visually beautifully presented menu courses, an excellent selection of wines (and great glasses!) - and the icing on the cake (and now unfortunately a rare species) the super good service team, especially Inga!!! We'd love to come back. Best regards

Sehr freundlicher Empfang, schönes und gemütliches Ambiente. Der Service war ausgezeichnet und persönlich. Das Essen von Vorspeisen bis zu den Nachspeisen herausragend gut ! Eine tolle Atmosphäre wobei das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis alles absolut Top abrundete. Ein toller Abend der auf jeden Fall wiederholt wird!

Tolles Ambiente, leckeres Essen, nette Bedienung!!

I had a lovely evening here with a friend. We ate the menu with meat for €46, which isn't a bargain but considering the good food, it's a fair price. We particularly enjoyed the dessert, in our case a key lime pie. We first drank a bottle of white wine Blanc de Noir from Setzinger for €25, which I think is a fair price. The wine was very tasty. Afterwards there was a Spanish red wine, which was also delicious and cost €45. Overall, the restaurant left us with a very good impression and we would be happy to come back. The staff was very friendly and knew a lot about the wines

The food was very good. Super nice and friendly service. Location is also very nicely decorated. Absolute recommendation 👍🏻

I've wanted to go there for a long time. Unfortunately we couldn't spontaneously sit outside, but the atmosphere inside was also great. We had the fish/meat menu. It was all very tasty and so plentiful for me that we took dessert with us. The service was extremely attentive and very nice. That's why I'm happy to give it 5 stars. I'll be back soon. PS: I think the very small menu is great and means to me that everything is fresh. Something for everyone. And the decision is easier 😉

Well done, but something is missing to dampen the volume. Hard to have a conversation when it's crowded.

Fine Dining kombiniert mit alternativen Ambiente, passend zum Viertel der Südstadt. Unglaublich gutes Essen, hervorragende Geschmackskompositionen und einen unfassbar netten Service der seines gleichen sucht. Die reduzierte Karte ist auf den Punkt und die Menüauswahl grandios.

Sehr gut zusammen gestelltes Menü mit Weinbegleitung.

Thank you for the wonderful hours with you, best wishes to vero

Das Essen und der Service waren sehr gut, aber leider war die Musik so laut, dass man sich nicht normal unterhalten konnte. Ich finde, diese Lautstärke geht in einem Restaurant gar nicht und passt auch nicht zu diesem wirklich sehr guten Essen!

creative cuisine, friendly service, highly recommended

Sicherlich ein netter Laden, aber ich mag andere Läden der ,,Massimo,, Familie mehr! Im Da Lupo ist eine sehr kleine Speisekarte vorhanden, aber dennoch empfinde ich die Leistung der Küche hier nicht so gut wie in den anderen Restaurants. Das Ambiente ist, wie immer Geschmacksache. Alles in Allem ein netter Laden, aber ich bevorzuge die drei anderen Restaurants dieser Familie. Dennoch muss das wirklich nette und fleißige Service Personal gesondert positiv Erwähnen.

I was very disappointed! Not many option on the menu, my pasta , even though I asked without the chorizo, was so salty and the noodles overcooked I just couldn't eat it. Not even half of my glass was filled with the Crémant I ordered. The restaurant was full, the tables are very close to another, so my friends and I / we were 4 people) had to speak very loud in other to understand each other. Not again...

Das Essen war sehr gut. Die Lautstärke im Restaurant ist aber unangenehm laut.

Great food. Small portions on a small menu. Exquisite.

Es war lecker aber etwas überteuert für die Speisen. Die Bedienung war sehr nett. Mir gefiel das etwas alltägliche Outfit der Servicekräfte nicht.

Service war sehr nett. Essen gut und grundsolide. Leider aber ohne "wow ... mega!"-Vibes.

Es gab fünf Vorspeisen (Fleisch, Fisch und vegetarisch) zur Auswahl, sechs Hauptgerichte (Pasta, Fisch, Fleisch) und wahlweise Käse oder Süßes zum Nachtisch. Das Ganze gibt es als Menü für 40 bis 46 Euro je nach Hauptgang. Die Vorspeisen kann man zu zweit auch als gemischten Teller nehmen. Das haben wir gemacht und fanden alle Gerichte ausgezeichnet. Dazu eine lange Weinkarte, auf der sich auch die offenen Weine sehen und gut trinken lassen - zumal sich die äußerst freundliche und angenehme Bedienung die Zeit genommen hätte, sie uns alle probieren zu lassen. (Wir sind aber nach drei Weinen fündig geworden.) Wir haben den Abend sehr genossen.

Tolles Restaurant, sehr netter Service, je nach Karte 4-5 Sterne mit absoluten Höhen, manchmal überzeugen die Gerichte aber nicht vollends. Trotzdem eine klare Empfehlung und immer einen Besuch wert.

Hello dear team from Da's Lupo, I wanted to thank you all again for the great time on all carnival days. You are wonderful and I was happy to be part of the Massimo family. Thank you for unforgettable moments with you. Great team, and really highly recommended. Thanks Greetings, Jens

The ambience is very nice. The food was very nicely prepared, but the taste was rather disappointing (truffle pasta, mascarpone) so I expected more for the price! The service was very friendly, but could have been a little quicker.

Very friendly welcome, food was great, had a lot of fun and a very nice evening. Kind regards.

We spent Carnival (Fridays) here! Great music, very considerate guests & free water all evening. Really perfect. 👌🏼

Schließt besser einen Tag vor Karneval. Die Vorbereitungen stören, außerdem gab es nur eine sehr kleine Getränkekarte und dann war der offene Wein aus.

On Friday, as a single person, I was just able to get a table without a reservation (everything was completely full around 6:45 p.m.) and from then on a very pleasant experience began. The service staff are extremely friendly. The fact that I, as a senior, was called by the young ladies directly surprised me, but was also happy. You immediately belong to the relatively young audience. The menu is small, the menu is only available for two people or more, but you can order the courses à la carte. If I do this as an individual, the effort is the same, but more expensive. Funny rule. The food was outstanding, the portions may be a bit small even for older people. A misunderstanding when ordering was made up for without any fuss with a glass of Crémant. The ambience is dim but adequately lit, supported by warm candlelight. I felt well looked after and cared for throughout and will definitely come back.

Liebenswerter und professioneller Service in toller Atmosphäre. Preis/Leistung ist auch stimmig. Ich komme wieder! Oliver

We were more than satisfied. The food was delicious and the service was great. Special thanks to Hanna and Inga - top service: friendly, funny, authentic and they knew what they were doing!!!

Sehr schönes Restaurant mit mediterraner Küche, freundlicher und schneller Service. Geräuschkulisse leider sehr groß. Portionen könnten nach meinem Geschmack etwas größer sein. Trotzdem eine Empfehlung.

Conclusion after two visits: Overall okay, but the “WOW” experience is missing. Price-performance compared to the southern city is not satisfactory. Food: Not recommended for vegetarians and vegans. The menu was more varied after opening. As a vegetarian, the only option was the truffle pasta, which is available in larger portions and is spicier at Massimo. What if you don't like truffles? (“Otherwise we can only offer the starter platter as vegetarian” Service: Friendly, courteous, but impersonal – a standard among system caterers. You should be able to expect more in individual catering, especially if things work better in the sister restaurants. Ambience: On Friday evening at 6:00 p.m. the restaurant was still quite clear. Unfortunately the light is a bit bright, but apart from that everything was great.

Es war ein wenig voll an dem Abend, aber die Kellnerin hat uns einen netten Platz etwas weiter hinten organisiert nachdem ein großer Tisch mit vielen Personen frei wurde. Das Essen ist sehr lecker und die Küche ist schnell. Lediglich die Tische sind etwas eng gepackt.

Alles fein. Sehr leckeres Essen, aufmerksame Bedienung, schöner Ort! DANKE!

Das Essen war gut, das Abiente auch. Der Service war freundlich aber unpersönlich. Mann/Frau hat schlicht ihre Arbeit gemacht. Das Soll wurde erfüllt, aber bei den Preisen muss mehr kommen, damit wir wiederkommen oder weiterempfehlen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Michael

Essen und Service war super. Preis Leistung passt. Der Wein war einfach nur lecker

Es war ein rundum schöner Abend. Das Essen war richtig lecker und die Bedienung unglaublich aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Das Licht war auch sehr angenehm; nicht zu hell und nicht zu dunkel. Musik und insgesamt der Geräuschpegel so, dass man sich nicht „anschreien“. Danke für den schönen Abend. Gerne wieder!

Unfortunately, we didn't feel particularly valued as guests. The food was absolutely fine, the service was courteous, the atmosphere was nice. We made reservations from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Unfortunately it didn't work any longer. At 7.50 p.m. the bill came without asking, shortly afterwards the (card)/cash payment - without asking. The place was empty. It was obvious that the tables should be cleared for new, paying customers. It's a shame, we felt stressed and drank the rest of our drinks in a hurry. The espresso was served opposite, in peace. Unfortunately we won't be coming back with this concept.

Das Essen war sehr lecker, die Atmosphäre im Restaurant sehr schön und der Service einwandfrei und sehr nett. Leider wird auch hier mit Zeitfenstern für die Reservierung gearbeitet daher lieber nach 20:00 Uhr reservieren, dann ist das Zeitfenster offen. durch die im Allgemeinen sehr gestiegenen Preise in der Gastronomie für mich leider kein Restaurant für alle Tage, sondern für besondere Gelegenheiten.

Sehr leckeres Essen, netter Service und Ambiente. Faire Preise. Es war vielleicht etwas kühl.

I already knew Massimo's and was therefore even more excited about Da's Lupo. It's much more comfortable to sit here and the overall atmosphere is very appealing. The food is delicious and the service is very nice. I think a few things still need to be worked out in the new team (if you have questions about wine or appetizers, for example, it's better to call the boss first), but it will happen!
