Il Cancello in Köln

Very nice location and centrally located, unfortunately the sea bream was very, very tough, there was no explanation from the service, service was not customer-oriented, we didn't get more than one drink and had to wait a long time for it to be cleared away

Very, very tasty pizza with wafer-thin dough and great toppings!! The noodles were also very tasty!! Both from the daily menu - highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Worst pizza ever - also tastes like rubber

We've eaten pizza here several times and have always been impressed by the size of the pizzas! At first you think: "I'll never be able to do that", but in the end it's just too tasty :-) My wife manages half a pizza and we then take the other half home. We can almost both get full again in the evening or the next day. Highly recommended!!!

Went there for the second time with small kids and this time only had a short time window. We received preferential service, super fast, tasty and friendly. And the kids wandering around were also welcome everywhere. Huge portions :-)

Top. Delicious pizza that was really huge. Nice staff, who unfortunately brought me a small coke instead of a large one. Otherwise everything was great.

Very nice staff and great pizza. Unfortunately, it sometimes took a while for service to arrive.

food is average, atmosphere is strange and one waitress seemed particularly distracted with other tasks

Good Italian cuisine. Nice service.

We eat there often, pasta and pizza are delicious and the quality is consistent. Since dessert is often an afterthought for me, I ordered the tiramisu last time. And unfortunately I was disappointed, very sweet and sugary and instead of mascapone just cream, there was a mountain of cream on the plate. And unfortunately that's not possible for a typical Italian dessert at an Italian restaurant.

Pizza was very tasty and just big. The dough seemed more like Dürüm to me with little substance and hardly any taste. It falls apart a bit and has little character. But for the price it was ok.

Great ambience, great food and being served by Filiz .. fits 😎👍

It was my first time in the store and I have to say the coffee was incredibly tasty😊

Nice little Italian. Great pasta, pizzas too big (huge). Service could be more attentive.

Italian restaurant with very tasty food

We love this restaurant… it's always great to be here. Food, service, prices top. Particularly noteworthy are Filiz and Narek.

The appetizer platter was really tasty and well filled. The pizza was also very tasty and huge. The price-performance ratio is really okay and the service was also good. We will definitely come back.

Although the Italian restaurant opposite was closed, there were only a few guests in the restaurant. The service took its time. Bread was only brought upon request during the meal. The portions (fish pan and grilled calamari were large, but unfortunately not very tasty. Quality instead of quantity would have been better.

Good price/performance ratio. The food came quickly and was really delicious. Drink prices are also humane. The service was nice and courteous. Only the music was a bit too loud and not to my taste.

Absolutely recommended - there were twelve of us there, everyone was thrilled with the food and the friendliness of the staff :) ...and be careful, the pizzas are huge!

I'm thrilled. Nice atmosphere, delicious food, the pizza is extremely large and also extremely tasty 😋 and the service was attentive and friendly. Absolutely recommended 🤩

Me and my friends with whom I dined at Il Cancello were all pleasantly surprised. My Quattro Formmaggi pizza was the best pizza of my life, not to mention the enormous size of the pizza! The next time I'll be in Cologne I'll eat at Il Cancello again.

The service was very friendly and we got our food quickly. There is a wide variety of food and the ambience is also very nice and inviting. The prices are also completely reasonable. All in all, a visit is very worthwhile.

Great restaurant, very tasty, pizzas are huge, first class, friendly and humorous service!

Couldn't try the food. After one hour waiting for a pizza, I went.

Was seriously insulted by the waiter because I complained about a toenail in my food. I've never experienced anything like that before, unfortunately I can't recommend it at all

Today was my first time here and for someone who pays attention to food and expresses special requests, you should at least respond to them. If you want to do this with additional calculation, you can always do that. What doesn't work at all is when someone doesn't want something in their food and is then served a dish that contains a lot of exactly what they didn't want. In my case it was oil, which shouldn't be there at all. In the photo you can see how the plate is fully smeared with oil. The dish was good for someone who doesn't have any special requests. For this reason: my first and last visit. Dish: Tagliatelle Salmone

Ordered pizza and salad from here for €60. There was a maggot caterpillar in my food. When we alerted the staff, there was no apology, no compensation. We were advised to file a complaint with Uber Eats. We actually decided to approach the staff so that there would be no security for the restaurant. No effort would be made to make amends. We didn't even get our money back. We won't eat here again.

Best pizza in all of Cologne! Thin floor, huge and beautifully covered like in Italy. The service is always super nice. We are regular customers here.

Been a regular for years!!! More than happy with the food and service Bammm, boom, boom Greetings to cancel

Very tasty, pizza huge. Chicken with vegetables and salad also very good. Cozy restaurant with friendly and fast service. Happy to come back 😁

The food is very tasty and the service is very nice

Unfortunately they replaced the cook or he was sick that day.

Very tasty food and very good service.

Il Cancello is really great! The food tastes great, exactly how you would imagine Italian cuisine to be. The service is friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere is cozy and invites you to feel good. All in all a great experience that we would love to repeat!

Cold food, wrong packaging, unfriendly employees never again

Very friendly service. The beetroot ravioli were a poem

The pizza is very thin and super tasty. The shop is cozy and the employees are friendly and reserved.

Starting with the friendly, flexible and competent reception, through the perfect service and the ambience, it was a complete success! I haven't had such good pizza outside of Italy for a long time (!). The tagliatelle with both prawns and beef were also perfect. Thank you for the lovely evening!

Super delicious food and great pasta!

I was at il cancello today and ordered the manzo salad. I was overwhelmed. Very tasty. My friends had pizza and salad and they really enjoyed it too. The service was also very good Thank you, we'll be back

Be sure to check the payment amount carefully! Unordered items are added here. The service was very slow, the food mediocre.

The food is very tasty and the staff is very friendly. Super! Xwarin gelek xweş û xebatkar ji rûken û başbun…

The best restaurant on Eigelstein and in the area. Above all, a big thank you to Emma, ​​an incredibly great, attentive restaurateur. Thanks !

Very big pizza!!! Service is very good, great atmosphere. I lost my phone and the staff helped me find it. Definitely coming back!

Delicious food and very attentive staff. Prices are okay.

We visited this restaurant for drinks. The atmosphere and service was great!

Unfortunately, 1 star is too much, I've been here many times and always loved it, today I was there and wanted to look at the menu, the waiter was very unfriendly and disrespectful, even pushed me. I'm really disappointed, never again!!!!!!!

Very poor service and negotiation We just wanted to look at the menu. The waiter said yes, take it home. He spoke in such an unkind and disrespectful way

Extremely delicious food and great service from the staff. Food always came on time and warm. Highly recommended to eat there

It's a shame there are no half stars. It's not quite enough for a full five and four is actually not enough. Only one person per table should order the pizza, otherwise it simply won't fit. However, one could have been a little more confident with the seasoning. The hand in the photo belongs to a full-grown woman - as a size comparison.

Very tasty dishes, great prices, service and the entire team are very friendly, as you can also look over the pizza maker's shoulder. Portions are considerable, from pizza, pasta, to the daily menu, everything is recommended. Here, performance trumps price, and is Kölle's coziest restaurant with a cozy, great terrace. Even in winter, thanks to the beautiful birch trunks inside, it's very cozy for coffee and cake and just chilling out!

Restaurant with diverse offerings, in a very good atmosphere, prompt service and delicious dishes. It is well located, in a central and busy part of Koln. The decoration is friendly and as the lighting is rather dim, it creates a pub feeling.

Waited over 1 hour for a pizza and therefore canceled the pizza. The waiter said every few minutes "two more minutes and the pizza will come" "two more minutes". If you don't believe me, please go there on Saturday and test it yourself.

Very nice and friendly service, they make a lot of effort to satisfy the guest 👍🏼👌🏼, you just feel comfortable here 👏🏼, thank you very much for the great service 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Very decorated and with a large terrace. The staff very attentive and fast. We had to wait a long time for our dishes to be brought because they only had one cook for the entire restaurant but nothing that a good bottle of wine couldn't solve.

Delicious Italian food in Cologne with good service.

We had lunch there yesterday and were very satisfied. The food tasted great and we had great service! We felt very comfortable :))

Great service! Great pizza! Ambience great!

Very friendly service, you felt very comfortable and you were very attentive (especially Emma and another colleague served us very friendly)! The portions were good, the food was tasty but not outstanding. The pizza and the toppings (because of the delicious dressing) were my favorite.

Funniest italian restaurant ever. Every time someone calls the food Italian a poor nonna în Regio Emilia falls down and brakes her hip. Good beer tho so totally not an Italian experience.

Great food, nice ambience. The pizzas are to die for. Thanks to Emma for the great service

Nos recibieron cálidamente y aunque no teníamos reserva, nos dieron una mesa rápidamente. Menú todo en alemán así que gracias a Dios por Google Traducir pero nuestra camarera también era brillante y hablaba bien Inglés (gracias! ) . Bonita cesta de pan mientras esperábamos nuestro entrante. Bruschetta estaba deliciosamente fresco! Mis hijos compartieron una pizza, ya que habíamos observado que todos eran muy grandes. Buena decisión, ya que CASI se lo comieron todo. Mi marido amaba su salmón, calamares y gambas para su principal y me encantó mi pollo schnitzel! Habría lamido el plato si estuviera en casa. El mendigo de la calle fue rápidamente tratado y los alrededores siguieron siendo divertidos. Hermoso lugar. Todos disfrutamos mucho de nuestra visita prolongada aquí y volveríamos encantados.

It was sooooooo beautiful and super tasty. We'll definitely be back 😍

Delicious food, fast & friendly service. The pizzas are enormous but have a wafer-thin base, crispy edges and a fruity tomato sauce. The noodle portions are also sizeable and very tasty. My husband likes the sirloin steak with rosemary potatoes, chili, tomatoes and garlic vegetables and lemon oil. I would say the prices are fair.

So I rarely rate but this time I feel compelled because both the food and the service were excellent. I would like to thank you and will definitely come back just for the pizza 😋🤤

We had a very tasty meal here today. The service (Julia) was very attentive and very friendly. Definitely a very good recommendation. Price-performance goes together very well. Gladly again 😃

Von Tischzuweisung über Bestellung und das Essen selbst, die Aufmerksamkeit der Bedienung EMMA, nie hat man auffordern müssen, sie hatte immer einen scharfen Blick, sodass wir stets flüssige Nahrung zu uns nehmen konnte. Dabei war sie super locker und richtig freundlich. Es war ein perfekter Abend. Ich persönlich habe die pikante mediterrane Pilzpfanne mit verschiedenen kleinen Filetsteaks sehr genossen

They were really big pizzas that you could easily share between two people. It was delicious, gladly again.

Sehr nette Bedienung, Mittagszeit eher preiswerte Angebote. Hatte Linguine Vegetaria , war sehr lecker, gut gewürzt und schön serviert . Leider hat der Koch mit dem Öl übertrieben, die Restnudeln schwammen im Öl. Der Service reagierte nett auf meinen Hinweis, sie hätten zwei Köche und einer würde immer gerne viel Öl benutzen. Lieber Koch, bitte in Zukunft weniger Öl ans Essen.

Very tasty food. Price performance top. Great bruscetta for this price, was pleasantly surprised, rare to find. Minor deduction in the B grade, in the original Bruscetta the peel comes off the tomato. Noodles were great too. I'm so full and happy.

Nice friendly attentive service. Great ambience and super tasty, super large pizzas. Very spicy and fresh.

We ate here for the first time by chance. Food was very tasty and came super quickly. The service was a 10/10 - greetings again to the super dear Emma 😇

The food was amazing, very tasteful and well seasoned. The portions were very fair for the price. I really liked the food, it was delicious! My only comment is about the meet in both dishes that could be a little bit more rare. But I guess this is personal taste.

Friendly staff, orders were taken quickly, drinks and food were brought quickly. The pizzas are very large, 50 cm in diameter, and very well topped and tasty. The pasta with sauce is also freshly prepared and recommended. It was easy to talk to the boss

Wollte heute mit einer Freundin im Il Cancello essen gehen. Obwohl der Laden nicht sehr voll war, mussten wir durch Winken die wirklich freundliche Bedienung auf uns aufmerksam machen. Die Getränke kamen rasch, doch musste ich mein Bier aus der Flasche trinken, da im Glas noch der getrocknete Bierschaum vom Vorgänger klebte. Auch war das Besteck voller Spülschlieren. Über all das hätte ich hinwegsehen können. Aber dass auf meinem Ziegenkäse im Salat eine Made ihre Bahnen zog, hat uns endgültig den Appetit verdorben. Das war einfach ekelhaft und ich möchte mir nicht vorstellen, wie die Küche aussieht. NIE WIEDER!

Great restaurant in a direct location to Eigelsteintorburg. The service is very friendly and attentive. I had the Spaghetti Carbonara, absolutely recommended as it is made without cream. How it should be :-) The pizzas are crispy and very large and tasty. Il Cancello is highly recommended at a fair price!!

Beautiful and pleasant place, quiet and great atmosphere, everything is good here!🌌🌃🏙💌

La pizza era enorme (suficiente para alimentar a dos adultos) , sabía bien, pero nada especial. Precios muy razonables. El servicio, por otro lado, fue el peor que hemos experimentado. El personal era grosero, esperamos 40 minutos para la pizza, mientras que todos los alemanes recibieron su comida (en su mayoría pizza también) , dentro de 15 minutos. Quizás esto fue solo un error, pero el camarero no pareció lamentarlo en absoluto. Si no hablas alemán, mantente alejado fue el mensaje que recibimos.

The pizza wasn't delivered for the second time. The order has been lost. Would not recommend the restaurant.

Outstandingly delicious and huge Pizza Etna. One of the best of ever. Very, very friendly and nice waitress Emma. Very pleasant atmosphere. Top recommendation.

We ate the world's best Italian pizza "Etna" with you this afternoon, which was served to us very warmly and professionally by Emma... top marks for both!! We'll be back...we'd even be happy to venture out of our home district of Nippes again...😉 Kind regards, Marike

Great store! Very nice staff, delicious food and really affordable prices! It is worth it ..

Very nice, tasty, very good service. It was great

The food is absolutely fantastic - the homemade pasta is to die for, I absolutely recommend it.

I'm very happy that I can now order via Uber and Wolt! The pizzas are really amazing - crispy base, fresh ingredients and simply incredibly tasty. Absolute recommendation!

We had a very good evening meal here at a good price-performance ratio. Pizza and salad were fresh and the ingredients were plentiful. Service was also friendly and quick!

Very good quality of the ingredients used. Outstanding, friendly and fast service! It's nice to sit outside when the weather is good. Prices reasonable for the quality. Pizzas are huge.

Went here during the Euros. Good pizzas, Good beers, and friendly service!

Busy bar/restaurant near my hotel in Cologne, made it our local. Great service especially from smiley helpful staff. Now all Scotland fans of course! 🍺❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇩🇪

best Italian in Cologne!! large pizzas and delicious dishes that are delivered quickly. Super nice service. I always like to come back!! big recommendation!!! Everyone who is in Cologne has to go!

Very nice atmosphere with nice service and good food :) The pizza was huge!!

By chance we sat down in the Cancello, with an Italian family next to us. I thought nothing could go wrong. And that's exactly it, the truffle pasta and pizza blew us away. Extremely delicious. Great atmosphere, right on the Eigelstein. The super nice waiter told us his favorite address in Sardinia. Simply nice

Waiter and staff Wow Outstanding

Two of us had dinner here on a Wednesday night and the place was busy. Got a table straight away, service was excellent and the food exceptional. We had two fish dishes that were incredible. With a glass of red wine, bottle of sparkling water, tiramisu and two coffees the bill came to €63.70!!!! Bargain. Will definitely be back and couldn't recommend enough.

A very pleasant surprise! Dropped by just to have a beer and a glass of wine. Ended up having a (huge and very good) pizza. Super friendly staff, great pizza, really good value for the money. Highly recommended!

Nice atmosphere, friendly and attentive employees, boss is also great. Food is consistently high quality (ingredients) and diverse.

Great atmosphere, good food! It was a great European Championship game

Dropped by to have just a beer and a glass of wine. Ended up having a huge and really good pizza. Food was good, staff was super friendly, and sitting outdoors was cosy. Indoors the place is clean and tidy, the same with the toilets. Could not wish anything more. This place is highly recommendable!

Mega load. Great food and great service on all levels
