L'Antipasto in Köln

Extrem überteuerte Preise für ein einfaches italienisches Restaurant.

Hatten beide Pizza gegessen, sehr lecker. Dünner Boden, Rand schön weich. Super. Schnell und freundlich

Ich bin regelmäßig hier für die tollen Pastagerichte. Das Brot was einem vorab serviert wird, überzeugt auch durch Frische. Und das Tiramisu ist ebenfalls ein Traum. Super lecker alles! Die Bedienung ist immer sehr freundlich und engagiert. Im Sommer ist es draußen sehr schön, im Winter kann man sehr nett drinnen sitzen. Sehr empfehlenswert👍🏻

Sehr leckere Pizza, Pasta und Antipasti. Toller Service.

Der Service war gut, der Mozzarella war nicht wirklich frisch.

Unfreundliche Bedienung. Teilweise aggressives Verhalten

Leider keine freundliche Bedienung, wurden verspätet bedient (Pizza to go). Eine unfreundlich Begründung zählt hier nicht für eine solche Behandlung von Kunden. Dies mag für Gäste im Restaurant anders sein, dies (Ambiente) kann hier nicht bewertet werden. Die Pizza schmeckt trotz Wartezeit gut.

Super leckeres Essen und toller Service! Wir kommen immer gerne wieder 🤩

Heute hatte ich eine sehr leckere Pizza und leckeren Rotwein. Der Service war sehr nett und schnell, obwohl es sehr voll war. Komme gerne wieder 😊🍷

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, and what a find! We went for the basics: lasagna and spaghetti carbonara. They served us freshly baked bread with olive oil and tomato on the side. Everything was delicious and the price was fantastic for such generous portions.

The pizza was okay, just average for the price. I'll give it a second chance and update my review if it wasn't great after all.

First the pizza was burnt, and then the young cook insulted me in Italian. I probably wouldn't come back.

The food is very tasty and I always enjoyed going there. However, I had a bad experience on November 11th. We wanted to use the restroom. I paid for two people and was yelled at at the restroom, and the manager was called. Then they realized I had paid correctly. Overall, it was a very unpleasant situation.

There were many guests due to the warm weather, but luckily we got a table and a bottle of water relatively quickly. It then took an hour for the other drinks we ordered to arrive. Almost two hours after ordering our food and repeatedly asking (neighboring tables also inquired), I wanted to cancel my main course, as I had lost my appetite and even the appetizers hadn't been served yet. At that point, the rather unfriendly owner, visibly stressed, came over. He apologized, but said a two-hour wait was within his expectations. They had been overwhelmed (the weather forecast apparently wasn't of much interest to him). I couldn't cancel my order on my own, as he gave me an ultimatum: "Either everyone cancels or no one does" – how can a restaurateur put me in such a situation, forcing me to choose my friends at that moment? I quickly saw the line of guests waiting for a table and understood the reason. His tone left much to be desired, and there was absolutely no willingness to compromise – a real shame. We left disappointed.

We've been there three times this summer and fall and have been absolutely thrilled every time. The pizzas are delicious and authentic, the tiramisu is divine, the house wine is delicious, the aperitif is delicious, the starters are delicious, and the service is very friendly. 🩷 Highly recommended!

Overpriced restaurant, Spaghetti Napoli 16€. For a starter costing well over 25€, the price-performance ratio is definitely not right.

I discovered a wonderful little restaurant in the Belgian Quarter. The food was exceptional, the service was fantastic, and the prices were reasonable. Thank you very much.

Very friendly service, got a table in just a few minutes, and the sea bream fillet was excellent. I'll be back.

Expected a lot, got nothing. Expensive prices for disrespectful waiters.

TOURIST TRAP! Disastrous service and mediocre food. They completely rip you off with drinks. A small Peroni costs €4.90. Stay away!

I tried the Cabonara, which was prepared according to the traditional recipe (without cream and with guanciale). It tasted good, but still a bit far from a proper Italian sauce. The sauce could have been a bit thicker, meaning more and higher-quality pecorino cheese combined with starchy pasta water. I had to add more salt because, despite the Parmesan, it didn't deliver enough flavor. I also would have preferred a thicker guanciale. Otherwise, the service was super friendly, and the price was right.

Exceptionally good food, high-quality ingredients. Gluten-free pasta available upon request. Attentive and friendly service.

Incredibly friendly service, which ensured that a superbly delicious pizza was made even late at night. The pizza has everything you need. The tomato sauce and cheese are delicious, and the crust is crispy. Completely satisfied.

Super friendly staff, great food, and great atmosphere! We'll definitely be back!

This is the best Italian in koln. The lasagne is excellent

Very nice Belgian restaurant with delicious food and good service.

We asked for a wine recommendation similar to the one on the menu, which was priced at €8.60 per glass. The waiter immediately suggested a "great alternative" and served it to us without mentioning any price difference. To our surprise, the final charge was €25 per glass. We felt deceived—this was an attitude that demonstrates insincerity and exploitation of the situation. It's a shame, because we actually liked the place. For me, a good restaurant isn't just about the food, but also the trust it inspires. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. And as a warning: Be careful.

Cologne's best Italian restaurant❤️ super good pizza, pasta, and a friendly team! You can sit outside or inside, and in the evening, the city buzzes around you :)

Nice Italian restaurant in the middle of Cologne. Traditionell and authentic food. Try the pasta 🍝. Overall we were very satisfied.

Very nice restaurant! We'd love to come back!

Outstanding Pizza! Didnt try anything Else. But its a real italian Shop and so it tastes!

We had pizza and spaghetti with truffles, and it was incredibly delicious. We haven't had such good Italian food in a long time. The truffle pasta was my highlight.

It was great again....I'd be happy to come back anytime!!!!

Really great pizza and bomb pizza!

A fantastic evening! Highly recommended here in the Belgian Quarter! Very attentive service! Pizza, pasta, and bread, traditionally and very, very deliciously prepared! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ THANK YOU so much!

Samuel gave us excellent wine advice and made the evening a wonderful experience for us. Thank you very much!

Highly recommended, a classic Italian restaurant. All dishes are homemade. Not fancy, but classically good. The atmosphere is very cozy, especially outside in the summer evenings. Samuel's excellent and polite service was also worth mentioning. You can tell he loves his food. I'd love to come back ;-)

Nice intersection where you always have something to see and it's still comfortable.

Delicious, friendly, uncomplicated

Very nice team and relaxed feeling

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to waiter Samuel, who made our visit to L'Antipasto a truly memorable experience. From the initial greeting to the final farewell, his service was outstanding: attentive, friendly, charming, and yet pleasantly unobtrusive. He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and wines, advised us patiently, and fulfilled our special requests with a smile. His professionalism combined with genuine warmth was particularly impressive – we felt like we weren't just guests, but welcome. Thanks to Samuel, we were able to enjoy the evening to the fullest. Employees like this make all the difference – a true asset to the restaurant!

Very good food. The service was impeccable, and the pizza was just as good. Highly recommended. I'll be back!!

Perfect for a cozy Italian meal in the evening sun

Wonderful pizza and pasta with fantastic service - completely happy 💖

It's undergone tremendous development in recent years. Urban flair at the outdoor tables.

Always great - even better today ;)

Super delicious, always happy to come back. Very courteous service

Great Italian restaurant in the heart of Cologne. The truffle pasta was delicious. A fantastic Aperol Spritz. That's the way to live.

Great pasta and service in the heart of the city. A vacation in Italy in Cologne! It's worth the price!

A thoroughly positive experience: the dishes from the changing daily menu, as well as the "classics," are of good quality and reasonably priced! I've always enjoyed being a guest and hope to be able to do so often!

We had a wonderful stay at L'antipasto. All our special requests were fulfilled, the food was delicious, the service was incredibly friendly and quick, and we were able to sit in the sun :) We'd love to come back!

Great food and excellent service! Unconditionally recommended!

Delicious food and drinks. I'll definitely be back. I recommend giving it a try.

We happened to pass by the outdoor dining area at L'antipasto and were greeted so warmly that we decided to stay. The service from the owner, his son, and the staff was very cordial, the wines were excellent and reasonably priced—and the veal liver with sage butter was divine. The owner told me that guests from the Cologne area come to L'antipasto just for this veal liver—I can understand why! Thank you for the lovely evening! We'll be back when we're back in Cologne.

The food is fabulous and the service is great!

If you want to get to a small corner of Italy, this is the place for you. It has the best pizza and Italian food in general.

Delicious food, again and again!!!

Delicious food in a great location, top notch! Absolutely top-notch service!

Super nice and delicious Italian restaurant. Absolutely fair price-performance ratio.

Very cozy, great pizzas, and incredibly friendly staff. We'd gladly come again 🩷

Nice people, perfect location :)

The carbonara was truly delicious! Everything was perfectly prepared, even for guests with gluten intolerance. The atmosphere was warm and the staff were incredibly friendly. You feel completely at home. A definite recommendation!

A very authentic Italian restaurant with very attentive service. Delicious pizza

Very tasty! My favorite Italian restaurant in Cologne 😍❤️

A great Italian restaurant in the heart of the Belgian Quarter, with fantastic service and good, authentic cuisine! 12/10 recommendation <3

Super friendly service! And the food was truly delicious! Thank you for a lovely evening! We'll be back again soon :)

The service was great. Thank you for the lovely evening.

We had a really lovely evening with good food. Excellent service, and a lovely outdoor seating area. We'll be back!

A small, nice Italian restaurant with local dishes

My absolute favorite Italian restaurant. Super friendly staff, great Italian food, and a very relaxed atmosphere!

It was, as always, fantastic! Delicious food, good service, and highly recommended… we give it 5 stars 🤩

It was really great, I would come again!

We had a wonderful evening at L'Antipasto. Delicious food and great service. We'll be back.

Great place, great staff, and the food was extremely good. Everything was great.

The pizza was very solid (nice and crispy crust), but it took a while to pick up. Unfortunately, the atmosphere in the shop isn't anything special.

Wonderful. The food is simple, but perfectly cooked, and classic Italian with a certain something. The staff is attentive and helpful, even beyond culinary questions. The place is very small, and you can sit outside right on the street, but it's wonderfully heated.

We had to wait A VERY long time for the food to come and eventually it wasn’t so good after all

Extremely unfriendly staff, despite a private emergency situation we were denied access to the toilets for incomprehensible reasons. 0 out of 5

Very unfriendly staff. Was already turned away at the door.

Nice atmosphere, solid food. Service was very nice but every now and then something is forgotten or mixed up. Very relaxing to sit outside in the summer evenings.

As a neighbor and long-time customer of L'Antipasto, I had to be very surprised that the waiter loudly called my puppy a "rat" just because I was walking on the public sidewalk along the restaurant's outdoor terrace. Mutual respect in Veedel looks different.

A disappointment. I wanted to order a pizza and the waiter recommended lasagne. Unfortunately the lasagna was subpar - no hack between the plates. Then we got spaghetti Bolognese. €16.50 is overpriced. My girlfriend's pizza wasn't hot. Conclusion: Overpriced and bad cuisine.

La Dolce Vita from the ashtray. Chefs smoke outside, hands remain unwashed afterwards, pizza tastes like smoke. Tourist rip-off in Veedels costume, audience like at the fire department festival in Bergheim. Anyone who expects enjoyment here also believes in home-made garlic butter from the delivery service.

We ordered 2 gluten-free pizzas, but they didn't have any left and so we had to order other food. The salad was incredibly small and was supposed to have olives in it, there were only 2 olives to be found. The regular magariatas were good though. The gluten free pasta took 45 minutes & was told it was because they had to change the water. However, 45 minutes is unacceptable because the two of them had already finished the normal pizzas and then the salad came and 20 minutes later the gluten-free pasta. Would not recommend the store for gluten intolerant people as there were incredibly long waiting times. Service was sarcastic and not very accommodating.

We spontaneously decided on the restaurant and it was exactly the right decision. The service was super nice and very friendly. After a while of waiting our pizzas arrived and they were very tasty and a good size. Requests for changes were accepted easily! The music in the restaurant was also really great and sweetened the waiting time. Nice shop!

Hello! Yesterday we had a company party and ate at L'Antipasto with 11 people. It was perfect all around. The service was extremely attentive, the food was great, and the atmosphere was very nice. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Every single one of us was thrilled. Many greetings, Veronika

As always, great service and the boss is great. I always enjoy going there.

Authentic Italian cuisine with very good quality ingredients and friendly staff.

I would like to thank the operators, the chefs and the very friendly service. The food is high quality and a real treat. The waiter is attentive, very accommodating and friendly. You just feel comfortable there. We'd love to come back.

We came for dinner there on January 1st. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, the cuisine is a delight, we recommend +++!

The food was very good and tasty. But service was so friendly and helpful, Had a really nice evening!

The staff is absolutely courteous! Great wine choice and amazing pasta. Hoped there were more options for vegetarian risotto and lasagna (there are other veggies besides mushrooms).

Delicious unusual dishes, but also normal dishes. Highly priced. Drinks are very expensive. Very nice service. A bit cramped.

“It’s unbelievable what Mr. Ale B. did for my company and me that evening. So much effort and finesse – an evening couldn’t be more beautiful. Even the shop owner insisted on offering us grappa on the house. #Like a Formula 1 😂 You almost forget how difficult it is to show so much creativity and positive energy in the winter days after the Corona crisis. Because taking a step outside often means being coldly ignored and unnoticed by society. At L’Antipsto, Amore meets Dolce Vita. Thank you for the wonderful evening

Immer wieder SCHLECHT Warum ich diesem Restaurant alle Jahre wieder eine Chance gebe, liegt daran, dass ich gegenüber wohne. Ein guter Italiener direkt vor der Haustür, das wäre ein Traum - nur leider erfüllt sich dieser mit dem L‘Antipasto so gar nicht. Heute: Eine einfache Bestellung für eine Pizza zum Abholen, die am Feierabend ein einfaches, kleines „Glück“ bescheren könnte, scheitert daran, dass die erste komplett verbrannt war, da der Koch sie im Ofen vergessen hat und abwesend war. Die zweite eiskalt, da aus technischen Gründen keine Kartenzahlung möglich war, Sicherung war rausgesprungen, Strom weg. Weil man zunächst nicht wollte, dass ich am nächsten Tag zur Zahlung kommen dürfe, lag meine Pizza lange während der Diskussion auf der Theke. Am Ende habe ich zu Hause eine kalte, sehr blasse, lätschige Pizza im Karton vorgefunden die als wenig spektakuläre Salami/Zwiebel ganz sicher keine 15€ wert war, die ich dafür bezahlt habe. Der Rand war gerade so durchgebacken. Wiederholt überzeugt dieser Laden in Sachen Sevice und (hauptsächlich) Qualität der Speisen NICHT. Und ich werde auf jeden Fall ab jetzt standhaft bleiben und ihm keine weitere Chance geben.

There were four of us and we really enjoyed the food. Spaghetti carbonara, as it should be, great pizza. Overall a nice experience.

Very nice owner and service. Good recommendations and the food was delicious. Again and again.

We were there with friends. It was super cozy and all the people there are very friendly, so you feel very comfortable. The food and drinks were also consistently very tasty. We'd love to come back!

The service from the staff and the food were great. Give an absolute recommendation for food

We opened the restaurant on: October 19th. Visited and it tasted really great. The waiter was very accommodating. The price is a bit more expensive, the ambience is not breathtaking, but you can really recommend the homemade fresh noodles!
