La Piazzetta in Köln

If a visit to an Italian restaurant in Cologne is worth it, then it is this one!!! From the service to the quality of the food, it's just MEGA!! If we come to Cologne again, we will definitely eat out again.

Delicious food, the starter (bruchetta on the house) was wonderfull and the pizza and lasagna we had were super tasty! We realy enjoyed our diner here and would come again!

We had the much-celebrated fish soup. She is really highly recommended. Plus a glass of white wine. Finally, a good espresso. What more do you need? Everything was great, the service was quick and friendly. Let's go. The visit is worth it

Orribile, esperienza negativa. Il ristorante è un vecchio locale italiano caduto in disgrazia e venduto ai pachistani. Ho mangiato un piatto di spaghetti che sapeva da pollo tandori piccante...

Ate there very tasty, drinks prices were quite high, €2.50 for a Kölsch and €7.50 for a bottle of water, the seating was a bit cramped, but it was really a nice evening

Delicious pizza, good wine, attentive service. I felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

Vom Empfang bis hin zum Essen, einfach super. Sehr Bedienungen, absolut super frisches und leckeres Essen. Preis-Leistung passt absolut. Sehr zu Empfehlen!!

Wir sind durch Zufall in diesem Lokal gelandet und sind begeistert! So was von freundlichen Mitarbeitern!! Es war sehr voll und trotzdem sehr nett, für einen kleinen Plausch zu haben und super aufmerksam. Sehr leckeres Essen, toller Geschmack. Schade, dass wir so weit weg wohnen.

The fish soup is divinely good and spicy as hell ;-)

Authentic Italian cuisine. Just stumbled in on a rainy day and ended up in the heart of ❤️ Italy. Recommendation from the boss: Tagliatelle with wild boar ragout - we were absolutely thrilled. Top quality! Tender meat, perfectly seasoned and the tagliatelle on the side... it couldn't be better! We'll be back.

The service was excellent, the pizza didn't impress me but the pasta was tasty.

The only good thing was really the service. He was very attentive and accommodating. The taste of the food wasn't that great.

The salad was fresh and crunchy, the meat was tender as butter, the croquettes were a dream!!! Highly recommended!!! The staff is very polite and attentive. Like home, simply great! Thank you

Very nicely decorated small restaurant with super nice waiters and waitresses who are also available for a little fun in between. Very tasty food and really fast service, despite a group of 9. Always happy.

Very tasty pizza, friendly service, a visit is worth it, the price/performance ratio is also good,

Delicious. Very friendly. See you next time :-)

I had a very good Pizza Tonno. The plate was lavishly set. Dough very thin and crispy. I enjoyed it very much. The staff is very friendly and serves very quickly. The only detraction is the plastic chairs, which look very well maintained.

All in all a nice lunch. Food very tasty, service okay. Prices are sometimes a bit too high.

Maybe a little inconspicuous from the outside but every time it's incredibly tasty and the vibe is incomparable! I can only recommend lobster pasta to everyone

We paid €52 for 2x spaghetti with a hint of truffle and a bit of parmesan. Together with a really bad wine (Primitivo) and a bottle of mineral water we were at €108. What has actually happened to the prices, what is the relationship between all of this? Pasta has by far the largest margin in the catering industry, how much does it cost? Cents maybe?? The service was very good. However, the prices and the food on offer have no connection at all, it used to be nice, not anymore. We definitely won't be coming back. Continued success.

Super delicious pizza, absolutely friendly service - rustic, cozy, always a pleasure!

Thank you very much for the great lunch. Original Italian cuisine. Insider tip!! Here the chef knows what makes good food. We would love to come back. Thanks :-)

So for me it's more of a Mediterranean restaurant than an Italian one. Good selection of meat and pasta but too much garlic in all dishes for me. The service was very good and you can feel comfortable here.

The food is great. Personally, I recommend the stuffed mushrooms as a starter and the fillet as a main course. The portions are very generous so come hungry.

The mushrooms are excellent. The pizza was pretty good average. The number 88 was a beef fillet with pasta. Both were so good that you wanted to sleep in them. Definitely recommended.

Exceptionally good food on a warm summer night

We were at the Piazzetta in Menfi, we want to thank Saverio Orsini infinitely, for his excellent seriousness and professionalism. Thank you Saverio

Great meat quality Gambas class Really tasty oh and Inexpensive

We liked the look of this restaurant - lots of tables both inside and out. We hadn’t booked but managed to get a table outside. We were given complimentary bruschetta and bread with garlic dip, so didn’t need a starter. Our food (pizza and gnocchi) was really tasty and the service was excellent.

The food was okay, but the service was very intrusive. As students, we don't want an aperitif, a bottle of wine, a starter or a dessert. This has been asked intrusively far too often. When we said no again at the end for dessert, the waitress asked herself, "Then the bill?" It really felt like you were being thrown out. So, if you're a little tight on cash or just want to go out for a relaxing meal, you might want to avoid this restaurant. However, given this intrusiveness, you shouldn't expect the restaurant's ambience to be as upscale as the service conveys.

Great service, friendly, hardly any waiting time, you can sit outside and the food, including greetings from the kitchen, also tastes great!

The food was pricey but I simply couldn't finish the noodles they call spaghetti vongole (23€). Waiter forgot to deliver part of the order. Unfortunately the place looks nice but doesn't deliver.

Very nice little and quaint pizzeria. Service was top and in a good mood. Nice appetizer on the house. The fish was great. The steak was from medium rare to almost raw..but ordered medium, that needs to be improved.. But we'll go there again 👍

Pizzas excellentes. Personnel sympa. Service rapide malgré l affluence ( ils rajoutaient des tables au fur et à mesure d arrivées ) .

Super unfriendly service when asked if two tables could be put together; The answer was mushy and showed absolutely no understanding that people wanted to sit together as a family. I've never really had such unfriendly service before.

Rude staff and an extremely mediocre atmosphere. Not recommendable.

Bad service doesn't taste good at all, the pizza is too expensive for a mini pizza 15€

Excellent food, very nice service in an unspectacular but nice atmosphere.

Super delicious. Very nice environment. Tomato salad, stuffed pasta and pasta cordonblue - everything was really of the highest quality.

Great food, friendly service, things could be nicer outside.

What they conjure up from the small kitchen... always fantastic 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I can recommend it to everyone... But don't come too often, it's hard enough to get a table as it is 💞

Very tasty food. Thank you for the nice evening 👍

Food was very good staff are friendly and helpful and fast It all looks simple but the food is good

Sehr leckeres Essen und super aufmerksames Personal. Ich hatte die Fischsuppe bestellt, da ich gelesen hatte es sollte die beste Fisch Suppe sein Leider war ich enttäuscht, sie war zwar scharf aber fad. Das Kalbfleisch war sehr lecker, die sauce war arg rezent. Die Pilze waren göttlich und der Wein super lecker. Ein toller aussen Bereich und am Ende haben wir sogar einen limoncello geschenkt bekommen

Food is tasty but the portions are very small. None of us were full and ended up with 30-40 per person.

Excellent Service and every meal at the table was exceptional. Yes… we shared tastings around the table. Flavors. Presentation. Just really well executed dinner. Bottomless Bottles of Wine. Lasagne was incredible. Pasta Vongole… fresh and delicious. Beautiful Sole. Perfectly prepared Filet. Wonderful outdoor seating on a beautiful early summer evening.

Three stars for sitting outside is almost self-explanatory. Bruschetta as a service in advance, excellent. On the other hand, very sad, unfilled, pitted, super dry olives. Service top and friendly. Relaxed atmosphere. Main courses unfortunately only pizza, but in good condition. We become regular customers

Very tasty, absolute recommendation!

Price-performance !! Food was good but too expensive

Delicious food, this time fish soup and then spaghetti aglio olio et peperoncino. As always very good!! Good wines, prices $$ Friendly service, good atmosphere!

Nice Italian restaurant with a focus on meat and fish. The pizza was just average, but the bruschetta is outstanding and the service anyway. We'll be back - even if not for the pizza.

Top service, very tasty pizza. Highly Recommended!

Super friendly service. Very fast even when the restaurant was full. Pizza was nice

Great food, wanted to go there for the Pizza but both ended up eating lasagne and definitely did not regret that decision, it was delicious - service was very nice as well

Too much cheese on the pizza and extremely loud Cologne music on a normal evening.

Very friendly staff. I had originally planned to order something else, but the pizza smelled irresistible. Even though I briefly regretted my decision when I saw other guests' pasta dishes - as soon as my pizza was in front of me, the regret was quickly over, it tasted like a piece of vacation. Definitely a must.

Hallo guten Tag, Meine Name Nawroz, Ich bin eine spüle und Küchenhilfe. Ich suche ab sofort eine minijob Arbeit. Vielen Dank für Ihre Antwort

Top Italian! Fish soup is wowwww! Cool atmosphere!

It's unbelievable how much food La Piazetta can send out within a very short time, despite this small kitchen and every meal is of very good quality. Simple but very good bruschetta. An Italian favorite for many Cologne residents. Rather small restaurant but usually always full. That's why Cologne's Fler interior is full, but if you're used to the ambience, the hustle and bustle won't be too bothersome, for me it was rather unusual. Here we were also able to drink a very good white wine, which I would also like to drink privately in the future. All in all, it completely met my taste, a new experience for me as a restaurateur and respect for La Piazzetta.

I didn't like the atmosphere. A small, cluttered and very loud and styleless restaurant, as I found it. The sound was so loud that I couldn't hear my table partner. Later in the evening the light even went out. We waited an hour for food. It tasted okay, but the mushrooms weren't fresh and the pasta my wife ordered (part of the main course) didn't come with the main course. The service was not particularly friendly or attentive.

Food and atmosphere like in Italy! Always my pleasure!

The service was unfriendly. That food tasted good

Service totally intrusive Food very bad. Pizza hint thin and not edible. Very salty. And expensive too.

As always, great service and excellent food.

While the rest of my table had already eaten the appetizer and dessert, I was still waiting for my pasta. The service was super unfriendly and not at all helpful. My pasta still cost €26, even though I was only served it 1.5 hours after ordering. All of our plates were broken and the atmosphere on the plastic chairs doesn't match the high prices you pay there. It may have been better before, but I won't go there again.

Essen ist immer super frisch und lecker! Gerne wird auch individuell zusammengestellt! Personal immer freundlich und professionell!!!

If you’re Asian, and speak zero german. This place is not for you. The waiter cannot speak English and unwelcoming. He had a change of face when he served us. He’s a skinny guy with beard. We came on 20/12/21 around 730-8pm for short supper. All i have to say is food is so-so. Plus the most uncomfortable service by the waiter. They said not to be rude to waiter but in this restaurant is the other way round.

Ideal location, very tasty, just fits. Little Italian

As always, very tasty and cooked with fresh ingredients

Small but nice shop, had spaghetti carbonara (€14.5) which was super tasty and the recommended grappa was also very tasty

We often come to la Piazetta and have always received very good service. Food and drink very good. I'd love to come back again and again.

Have you ever eaten here? in this joy, this spirit, you become a PIAZZETTA friend, because Italy's sun shines here! "Salvatore, mi love!" beamingly greet the Padrone with the families the ladies, who always came here to eat. Well known in Cologne as "GIANNI", This was a place with tradition for a long time across the country already appreciated for its cuisine. Gianni is now cooking in Pradies, leaving us his, in which his son now welcomes us and our lives are sweetened. With hospitality and a lot of esprit as well as epicurean genius: whether antipasta, insalata, Pizza, Penne All Arrabiata, sandwich, zuppa or toast, everything is perfect, just enjoy it... meat dishes, liver, fish, classics, specialties, everything very seductive, There is always something for everyone here. Today I was there again - I love the lively place, the people and the atmosphere, which would be difficult to replace. From a bouquet of fine smells came the recommendation from the kitchen: Rabbit was today's tip with butter noodles, not to forget, which I really didn't regret - I'll definitely eat it again! Schaafenstrasse 1-3, go there and be there - You will certainly experience this I'd be happy to give it 5 stars! Heinrich Remagen January 24, 2024

Very good service 👍. Delicious and freshly prepared. The house wine is recommended. Always my pleasure

Rarely eaten so well. Super friendly service and a small, cozy restaurant. Gladly again

By chance I became aware of this Italian a few years ago. The quality of the food and the friendly staff are simply great. No matter what you order there, it is prepared with a lot of love and tastes very, very good. I really enjoy making the long journey from Franconia several times a year to eat out here. Every now and then I spontaneously went to Cologne and even then the boss made it possible to organize a table for me. That's really rare these days.

Tek kelimeyle muhteşem… İtalyada bu kadar iyisini yemedim

Muhteşem bir İtalyan restoranı. Baby kalamar ızgara çok lezzetli. Jumbo karidesli makarnası efsane. Şarap menüsü zengin. Personel çok ilgili ve cana yakın. Atmosfer keyifli. Kesinlikle öneririm.

Ein sehr gutes Restaurant mit italienischen Speisen. Hier kann man sehr gut essen und das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Dieses Restaurant kann man jedem empfehlen ohne Bedenken. Das Restaurant kann man ohne Bedenken weiterempfehlen weil einfach alles stimmt.

Freundlicher, aufmerksamer Service, die Chef's arbeiten mit. Frische mit Liebe und können zubereitete Gerichte , gute Portionen. Gute Weinauswahl.

Went there for lunch while visiting the town for Christmas shopping. Although we were a group 9, and the place was already crowded, the service was fast and friendly. We all ate more than enough and the food was delicious. Thank you for making our day even better.

Danke für den wunderschönen Abend! Das leckere Essen, der ausgezeichnete Service und das unvergleichliche Ambiente. Ein Fest und wir kommen gerne wieder,sobald wir Köln wieder besuchen ❤️

Hab die Spaghetti aus dem Granada Padano mit Trüffel gegessen und war total begeistert! Unglaublich lecker!

Great atmosphere with great service and very good food.

Pizza und Pasta waren sehr schmackhaft. Sehr guter Service. Kann man nur empfehlen.

Great food, one of the best Italians around. Love it!

Unerwartet tolles Essen. Auch das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war absolut akzeptabel. Die unglaubliche Speisekarte macht es sehr schwer sich für etwas entscheiden. Dennoch die Wahl der Nudeln aus dem Parmesan Laib mit Trüffel waren der Hammer… Die Umgebung ist etwas laut, aber der Laden ist auch den ganzen Abend immer gut gefüllt.

Sehr lecker und leckeres Brot und Bruschetta vom Haus vorweg

In allen Belangen ein Highlight!!! Personal, Essen, Ambiente tipp topp.

Pizza, service and atmosphere was good and fast. Price is maybe a bit higher than usual but its ok if we consider good portion and service. Non alcoholic drinks are expensive... 😆 Thats it for now

Sehr guter Italiener. Klasse Essen, freundlicher Service. Selbst im Oktober kann man draußen sitzen. Innen etwas laut, aber gute Stimmung.

Wie im Wohnzimmer mit guten Freunden perfektes, italienisches Essen genießen bei bestem Service

Das La Piazetta ist eine Institution, hier gibt es grundsolide italienische Küche mit frischen Fischgerichten und sehr gute Frutti di Mare.

Neben dem tollen Essen hat der Service sechs Sterne verdient. Ohne Reservierung wurde freundlich Platz geschaffen und wir wurden schnell und freundlich bedient.

6 Personen Freitag 20:30 Uhr Bedienung relativ neutrale Freundlichkeit aber schnell. Essen ordentlich aber überteuert. Lautstärke nicht ertragbar, man muss die Mitarbeiter bei Bestellung und Tischnachbarn bei Unterhaltung anschreien. Konzept nicht verständlich: um20:45 Uhr wird das Licht ausgemacht und auf maximaler lautstärker Pavarotti angemacht. Für 5 Minuten kann man sich nicht unterhalten während man vergeblich versucht sein Trommelfell zu schützen. Auf Nachfrage ob man die Lautstärke runter drehen könnte (schreiend), gab es nur die Antwort , dass das „immer so gemacht wird“. Konzept nicht wirklich gut durchdacht (chaotische Bedienung, mäßiges Essen, zu teuer, viel zu laut, von Italien Klassiker bis griechischer Wein) und noch schlechter umgesetzt mit sehr wenig Kundenorientierung. Im ganzen nicht zu empfehlen. Uns wundert, dass es solche Restaurants überhaupt gibt bzw. Anklang finden. Wir werden nicht wiederkommen.

Tolles Restaurant, immer wenn ich in Köln bin!

Service hätte 6 Sterne verdient. Sehr leckeres Essen, tolles Ambiente, nette Bedienung.

Wir haben uns wie immer sehr wohl gefühlt. Sehr netter Service und fantastisches Essen. Der Gedanke an den langjährigen Inhabers bleibt und macht ein bisschen traurig aber das Team ist weiter top.

Sehr lecker, freundliches Personal und immer gute Stimmung.

Очень вкусная паста с креветками. Вкусная пицца Quattro Formagio. Дружелюбные официанты и хороший сервис! Рекомендую!

Extremely tasty, good service and good atmosfere 😉
