Grissini Restaurant & Terrasse in Köln

Very tasty Italian food with a great view over the Rhine to Cologne Cathedral

We celebrated our anniversary in this restaurant. The food was great and the service was very friendly. When making your reservation you can specify what occasion you are celebrating - this will be taken into account.

Delicious! Very NICE staff! It was a very nice evening! Thanks to Rico.

Food was super tasty and chic, charming ambience with a great location on the Rhine. We got a great place for two families with children and felt very well looked after.

Very lovely! Ideal for a datenight.

We only had one snack each. However, the goat cheese and pumpkin soup were extremely tasty. The staff was friendly. One point deducted because it was thought that the outdoor area would no longer be necessary at the end of October and we had to sit inside in the hottest weather. The neighboring restaurant still had its terrace open. We chose breadsticks because they were more appealing.

The food is delicious and the view is worth it 😊

Ein sehr schönes Restaurant mit schöne, Ambiente, tollem Blick und sehr leckerem Essen. Eine gute Abwechslung zu den meisten italienischen Restaurants. Der Service ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Kann ich nur empfehlen!!!

Beautiful location directly on the Rhine with a view of the cathedral. Very friendly service, very tasty food, a little more expensive. Always my pleasure.

I celebrated my 30th last night. Celebrated my birthday at Grissini - it was fantastic! The food was delicious and the staff was quick and friendly. The restaurant is nicely decorated and lit. We had a table with a view of Cologne Cathedral. I was in contact with Daniel M. in advance to make reservations and the menu for my guests. He was also extremely professional, responded quickly and stuck to our agreements. We would love to come back and definitely recommend the breadsticks!

We only drank a glass of lLimoncello Spritz. But it was a very pleasant atmosphere.

Nice atmosphere right on the banks of the Rhine. After crossing the bridge, walk to the right.

Exzellenter Service und sehr leckeres Essen. Nur zu empfehlen und auch selbst würde ich divinitiv wieder kommen. Die Bedienungen waren sehr Professionell, freundlich und herausragend gekleidet/gebildet. Weiter so!😊

Excellent service and very tasty food. Highly recommended and I would definitely come back myself. The waitresses were very professional, friendly and excellently dressed/educated. Keep it up!😊

Noble restaurant with a beautiful view. Some of the dishes seemed to be seasonally adjusted and, like everything there, were of high quality and good. The service was very friendly and quick. The ambience and the view are simply perfect. The prices are slightly higher depending on the quality and the location, but reasonable.

It's not cheap but it's worth it just for the views, the great food and the great service from the waiters, a ten.

WOW, so etwas habe ich schon lange nicht mehr erlebt. Wir waren weit vor der reservierten Zeit im Restaurant, was aber überhaupt kein Problem war. Der freundliche und zuvorkommende Service war ausgezeichnet. Das Essen war so lecker! Wir hatten als Vorspeise Bruschetta in einer sehr leckeren Variante. Als Hauptgericht jeweils Pasta, einmal mit Gorgonzola und einmal original Carbonara. Beide Gerichte waren sehr, sehr lecker und die Portionen waren sättigend. Die Aussicht auf den Dom setzte allem noch die Krone auf. Zusammengefasst ein mehr als gelungener Abend. Hier wird Service und Qualität noch groß geschrieben und ein Besuch lohnt auf jedenfall.

Can I give this restaurant a 1000/10 ?? YES. That’s how amazing this place and the food was. Craving Italian food, stumbled upon this gem in Cologne. We called ahead and secured a reservation for ourselves. What we had: - Pulpo - Vitello Pane - Paccheri Filetspitzen - Spaghetti Truffel - Tiramisu For wine we chose the Sauvignon Blanc Mantele. When I say that this place exceeded all my expectations of Italian food, I ain’t joking. And I also tried Veal and Octopus for the first time. So let’s start with starters, Pulpo is a dish made with tender octopus and Vitello Pane is made with tender veal wrapped with bread. These two dishes were absolutely delicious. I don’t think I can describe it better than that. As for the mains, we had pasta and I am gonna say that this was the best pasta I had. The creamiest, with extra cheese, beef tips - it was absolute heaven. I sincerely ask everyone to have their Tiramisu. Just have it!! And do I even have to comment on the wine? I don’t think so. The service was by far the best service I’ve ever had. The waiter was so kind and meticulous, he gave a great food recommendation above to pair with our wine, was patient enough as we had come in late towards the kitchen closing time and also didn’t hurry me as I was taking my time in savouring the best meal of my life. The staff is very friendly, the place has the best vibe & atmosphere and the view of the river is the cherry on top. Please visit this place!! <3 <3

Very tasty food and nice atmosphere.

Good food with Italian roots. Great view and outstanding service. Thanks to Brenda.

Wir haben heute Papas 90 Geburtstag im Grissini gefeiert. Die Aussicht auf den Dom bei dem heutigen schönen Wetter ist grandios. Mit Vor- und Hauptgerichten und mit Aperitif und Wein waren wir auch sehr zufrieden. Geschmacklich alles sehr gut. Und zum Schluss zum Espresso hat das Restaurant meinen Papa mit einem Mega schön dekorierten Tiramisu verwöhnt. Vielen Dank an das komplette Grissini Team. Ihr wart wirklich super aufmerksam. Danke für den tollen Nachmittag.

Great location right on the Rhine, nice view of the cathedral. Very attentive service and delicious pasta dishes. I sat on the beautifully located terrace on a beautiful late summer day - like a short trip to Italy!

Great Italian restaurant on the Rhine with a view of the cathedral. Went there as a group and had a 3-course menu “a la Mama”, where you could choose the dishes yourself from platters at the table. Starters were a blast, the pasta main courses were super tasty and the pana cotta / tiramisu bedside dish rounded everything off perfectly. And then super nice, fast service and great weather. Simply perfect...

Full marks for our visit in every respect.

Super rude service, waiter treated us like garbage and said he can't keep selling us just drinks?? What else are you gonna do in a restaurant?? Really overpriced and unserious establishment.

The view is beautiful. The service is super nice, despite the fact that they were short-staffed due to employee illness. The price-quality ratio of the food is not in balance. Wine not tasty, as if it had been left for too long. Pasta was not tasty and truffle not fresh, beef tagliata was too sinewy and almost impossible to chew. Not recommended, unless you enjoy a beautiful view and are willing to settle for lower quality food.

The bruschetta with fresh tomatoes, basil and a small amount of fresh mozzarella was very good for 15 euros, but when we didn't request drinks, the waiter suggested that we have still water and we agreed, but it was 9 euros which was MUCH more expensive than we expected. Servers were not friendly and didn't check back.

Pasta was perfectly al-dente. Staff catered to my language immediately, service was quick, and the view across the river is tremendous. I would come again.

Ich bin unfassbar begeistert. Das Essen, der Service, das Ambiente. Einfach alles perfekt aufeinander abgestimmt. Es war jeden einzelnen Cent wert! Werde auf jeden fall wieder kommen.

Great experience ALL down to a waiter named Rico! 👌 I have visited this restaurant twice in the past month. Both times, despite the restaurant being incredibly busy and seemingly short-staffed in the kitchen, Rico has made the evening unforgettable. He’s been polite, professional, and truly passionate about his job, handling multiple tables with ease. His warm service is the reason we keep coming back. While the kitchen can sometimes take longer than expected, the food is always worth the wait, and Rico’s exceptional care makes you forget about the wait. Thank you, Rico! Will definitely be back. 🫶 Cal

Ridiculously rude staff in the restaurant. After having waited over 15 minutes and some ignored waiving to order a first drink, someone finally came. I pointed out that over 15 minutes is a long wait before a waiter asks what to drink. The waiter replied somewhat stressed that it was busy and then literally: “that in this restaurant the client is not king”. He said it with a very poor body posture with a clear message, so after having overcome some perplexity I left…. This was a first and last time at Hyatt cologne

Beste Lage mit Domblick! Zum Sundowner ideal. Service leider recht langsam und speisen etwas überteuert für die Qualität. Sollte man aber für den Blick mal machen

It felt like being in Italy... beautiful.. I will be back..!!

Wir hatten uns sehr darauf gefreut, unser Abendessen im besagten Restaurant direkt am Rheinufer in Köln zu genießen, besonders nach einem angenehmen Spaziergang vom Kölner Dom aus. Leider wurden unsere Erwartungen hinsichtlich des Services nicht erfüllt. Bei unserer Ankunft baten wir darum, einen der freien Tische direkt am Wasser zu bekommen, wurden jedoch von einem sehr herablassenden Kellner in eine Ecke des Außenbereichs verwiesen, obwohl direkt am Fluss noch Plätze frei waren. Als wir nachfragten, ob wir vielleicht doch an einem der Tische am Wasser sitzen dürften, da diese scheinbar nicht reserviert waren und wir auch nicht lange verweilen wollten, wandte sich der Kellner abrupt von uns ab, vermied jeden weiteren Blickkontakt und wies uns eher schroff an, uns dann doch selbst einen Platz zu suchen. Diese unerfreuliche Behandlung führte dazu, dass wir uns entschieden, das Restaurant zu verlassen, ohne etwas zu bestellen. Es ist schade, dass der Service nicht dem wunderschönen Standort des Restaurants gerecht wird. Wir hoffen, dass dies ein einmaliger Vorfall war und dass das Management Maßnahmen ergreift, um sicherzustellen, dass zukünftige Gäste eine angenehmere Erfahrung machen können.

Meine Frau und ich haben uns das Grissini bewusst für den letzten Abend in Köln ausgesucht - nachdem wir es zwei Tage zuvor auf zwei Drinks schon ausprobiert hatten. Wir hatten einen hervorragenden Platz mit Blick auf Dom und Hohenzollernbrücke, Ambiente passte zum Abschiednehmen, und wir wollten bewusst nichts Deftiges aus der Kölner Küche... Was wir wählten: Tartar zur Vorspeise, Trüffelnudeln als Hauptgericht, dazu einen wunderbaren Negroamaro, Tiramisu zur Nachspeise - Klassiker, natürlich, und da zeigt sich besonders, ob jemand kochen kann. Obendrauf: Sehr zuvorkommender Service. Wir können das Grissini nur empfehlen.

Essen mit Blick auf den Dom. Qualtät und Quantität sind gut bis sehr gut. Ein Brotsalat sollte z.Bsp. seinem Namen gerecht werden. Service freundlich und es wäre schön, wenn sich dieser etwas mehr um seine Gäste kümmern würde … da ist Luft nach oben.

That was incredibly delicious and really cozy! I reserved another table for our anniversary.

Excellent cuisine with friendly service. The ambience is breathtaking. Looking across the Rhine to Cologne Cathedral.

Italian sounding but not quite Italian...

Schöne Aussicht, schönes Ambiente. Essen mittelmäßig, dafür aber sehr teuer. Insgesamt aber ein schöner Abend im Grissini

Angenehmer Service Essen teils hervorragend; teils sehr ordentlich Ambiente an der Hohenzollernbrücke mit Blick auf den Dom gigantisch

In such a beautiful place you don't necessarily expect good cuisine BUT here you do 😎👍🍀

Toller Italiener, sehr leckeres Essen und sehr freundliche Bedienung. Der absolute Pluspunkt ist die Lage: direkt vor dem Hyatt mit Blick auf den Dom .

Fantastic location with a view of the cathedral, it couldn't be better

The food alone was very good, the staff was also friendly but the waiting time for the food was too long! In addition, the prices weren't cheap and it was very loud inside, but otherwise highly recommended if you want to spend money 😜✌️ Oh, and there was no pizza -Aura

Great location, great food, great service!

Outstanding location on the banks of the Rhine with a view of the cathedral. The food was ok. Neither more nor less. The pasta with fillet tips was a bit disappointing, the tiramisu was delicious. The service was friendly. No storms of enthusiasm but given the location and accessibility it is still a recommendation

Very good view of the cathedral, the food was delicious and everything was very friendly

Nice atmosphere, delicious food and great service from Rico.

Good food...Sat on the terrace. Dessert Tiramisu was good but slightly watery at the bottom. Thanks for the service from Rico.

Everything is great at this riverside restaurant in front of the Hyatt Cologne. Service, food, location, views.

Absolutely no recommendation, very bad staff quite unfriendly. For that money you get in Cologne definitely better

Recommended. With a very nice view from the outside terrace of our beautiful and majestic cathedral 😀.

Sehr freundlicher Empfang, toller Service. Hatte nur die Tageskarte übersehen, da wäre mein Lieblingsessen drauf gestanden. Vielleicht kann man die verpeilten Gäste, wie mich, daraufhin weisen, dass es sie gibt. Wir waren zu viert Essen, Bewertung für die Vorspeisen: top, Hauptgerichte: gut bis sehr gut. Wir kommen sicher wieder. Danke für den schönen Abend

Everything was great, the food was delicious, the service was very friendly and accommodating and there was a great view of the cathedral from the terrace.

Sehr leckeres Essen, serviert von einem zuvorkommenden Menschen mit französischem Akzent .... und das mit einer tollen Aussicht. Preis/Leistung passt

Mega view from the terrace! Nice personel! Food was good too.

Nette, umsichtige Bedienung gibt den passenden Rahmen für gutes Essen und einen tollen Ausblick. Gerne wieder.

Es hat alles gepasst. Essen war sehr lecker und die Aussicht ist ebenfalls sehr schön.

Great ambience, great food, nice service. Recommended.10 out of 10 Stars

Very tasty food, high price level. Beautiful view of the Rhine.

Super tasty food, very friendly service. Nice view of the cathedral.

Nice terrace with a view of the cathedral. Food was very good Service very friendly

On our first visit on Friday there were only two tables occupied. That's probably why we had 5 different waiters. Is not a problem. The salad with sheep's cheese was almost without salad. The sauce for the tea noodles didn't seem homemade and was very soggy. The truffles were plentiful but lacking in taste and aroma. The white bread with the salad was charged at €4. On the second day we wanted to sit outside again. It was drizzling at 24 degrees and there was no wind. A row of tables outside was dry under the canopy. Two tables were occupied and four were free. After the captain on duty told us mushy - like the previous day's sauce - that they can no longer serve outside, otherwise his employees would get sick, we left again. As a result, we discovered a Super Mexican restaurant around the corner that pampered us excellently throughout the weekend in a great atmosphere. Only 800 meters!

Top Essen Loup de Mer ist sehr zu empfehlen. Prompter Service, schönes Restaurant

This restaurant is located in the heart of Cologne, with an astonish view of the Cathedral. There are outside tables. The food and tiramisu desert were great.

It's really great right on the Rhine!

Delicious food and great views of the Rhine and cathedral

Unfortunately, service was completely inattentive, so you often have to wait 30 minutes for a waiter. Unfortunately, pasta was too dry. Ambiance very loud

🌞💜👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍🌞💜 07/24 Just 👍👍high.top It would be nice if the little thing about the toilets wouldn't be.1/2 hourly Check look, wet floor, paper towels on the floor doesn't look good. Without words Everything fits here! What else should I write here? You have to experience it yourself. 04/13/24 Almost perfect except for little things!!!

Very nice location with a great view of the Rhine and the cathedral. The food is very tasty, unfortunately the very friendly service lacks a bit of speed. Some guests prefer to get their drinks themselves instead of waiting for the waiter. The staff here should urgently be trained. Otherwise great.

We spontaneously went out to eat outside on a sunny day. The view was amazing as was the ambience. Our waiter was also very friendly and accommodating. Small improvement here: feel free to ask more often if everything is still OK or if you would like something more to drink. Our glasses were often empty. About the food: the taste was very tasty, it was freshly prepared and the pasta was prepared al dente. The only drawback: we actually had to wait over an hour for the food. All in all, we would definitely come back!

Just had something to drink. Very attentive and friendly staff Update: July 2024 Now we also had dinner there. It was very, very tasty... great ambience, delicious and a particularly beautiful presentation of the food... pure enthusiasm

Very friendly - manageable but original menu, very tasty

Nice place for coffee and tiramisu with a view of the Rhine and the cathedral.

Beautiful view of the cathedral, delicious pasta...

A great restaurant! The service is very friendly and accommodating, on a given occasion there is even a small gift from the house, great! The dishes are fresh and very carefully put together, the portion sizes are enough and the prices are definitely reasonable. The view and the location speak for themselves, if you want to end the evening after a city trip, for example, this is the right place for you :-)

Grazie mille💖 very very tasty 🥰 my risotto was simply unsurpassed! Good service and friendly staff! Great atmosphere! We will definitely come again!

Very chic, inexpensive and tasty restaurant in the heart of Cologne! Well located with a view of the cathedral. Spaghetti alla Amatriciana or with truffles are recommended here, among other things. Courteous service and the affogato at the end was a success.

Leider waren die Kellner nicht so oft am Tisch und haben nachgefragt ob man noch etwas möchte ansonsten top

Nice restaurant right on the Rhine.

super nice service and fantastic food

High-quality restaurant 🍴 with competent staff from different countries. Very interesting. The meals are delicious 😋 and a little too fresh on the plate 🍽 for the prices in the 🍴 restaurant. Everything clean 🤙 🚽 Toilet also clean. Great view of the Rhine and Cologne Cathedral. Greetings from Bergisch. Greet from Germany near Cologne.

Lovely setting Food and service is lovely. Lively atmosphere. On the upper price range but worth it.

Wirklich toller Blick. Das Essen war sehr lecker und frisch zubereitet. Es wurde auf Wünsche eingefangen. Absolut zu empfehlen.

Traumhafte Lage mit Blick auf Rhein und Dom. Super netter Service und grandios leckeres Essen. Was will man mehr?!?

Beautiful Italian food in a lovely setting (although the impending storm prevented any dining on the terrace)

Die gesamte Atmosphäre war sehr schön und der Kellner mit dem französischen Akzent war sehr freundlich. Das Essen war lecker und auch das Pane Salami und Bruschetta war einfach köstlich.

Very nice restaurant, great food and great service from Rico. Highly recommended, it was my husband's birthday and he received a dessert with a candle and a message in Spanish!! It was just perfect and sweet

Great restaurant, the food is great, the view is perfect. We will be back.

Everything fine. Ambience great.

The location and decor of the restaurant are beautiful. I had one of the best pasta dishes ever there. Highly recommended.

Great food with great service. Massimiliano was super with us!

Absolut empfehlenswert! Wundervoller Blick auf Köln. Kleine Karte mit guter, abwechslungsreicher Auswahl. Top Service! Restaurant war komplett voll aber der Service aufmerksam und schnell. Rico war unser Kellner und wir waren begeistert. 🤩 Waren das zweite Mal dort, für einen besonderen Anlass. Wir kommen wieder! Ganz großes Lob an das gesamte Team!

The food here was excellent. We also had several vegetarian options to choose from and our server Rico was great as well. He was witty, funny prompt and gave us great recommendations as well. The tiramisu bruschetta, and risotto were the highlight of our meal. Would definitely recommend visiting.

The view of the cathedral is enchanting, but that's probably because of the cathedral. The food was okay and generally the decor is nice.

Italian restaurant with outdoor dining and views of the Rhine and cathedral. The food is mediocre and both the food and the alcoholic drinks are overpriced.

We celebrated my birthday here in a small circle. My sea bass was outstanding. Everyone else was happy with their food too. The view is simply awesome. Good attentive service.

Wir haben hier im kleinen Kreis meinen Geburtstag gefeiert. Mein Wolfsbarsch war hervorragend. Alle anderen waren auch zufrieden mit ihrem Essen. Die Aussicht ist einfach genial. Guter aufmerksamer Service.

Of course, the Grissini impresses with its location and the view. That's why you eat here, especially in summer, in a great atmosphere. The service was okay, the food was very tasty. It is a little more expensive, but value for money is right here.
