L'Antipasto in Köln

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

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!

Really great pizza and bomb pizza!

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 ;-)

Delicious, friendly, uncomplicated

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

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

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!

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 ;)

Great food and excellent service! Unconditionally recommended!

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!

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

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!

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!!!

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

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

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

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

A small, nice Italian restaurant with local dishes

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

Very tasty! My favorite Italian restaurant in Cologne 😍❤️

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

Nice people, perfect location :)

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

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!

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

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!

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

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

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!

We were in l last week. Antipasto and we felt very comfortable. The service staff was quite okay, they were simply excellent... However, the young lady at the counter, she seems to be new, was very, very polite and very attentive, an absolute asset to the l antipasto, we hope that she stays there for a long time, we are happy see you next time

Unfortunately, we weren't able to enjoy the food at all because our reservation was simply ignored. Very disappointing!

Absolute impudence. You make a binding reservation for a table and it is simply given to another group. We received no call or information. Where is the decency of today's gastronomy? Just because the restaurant supposedly has good food (we couldn't try it) you can't treat your potential guests in this way. The chef is a very dubious guy. Hopefully that will change. Clear recommendation to give this store a wide berth.

- Eat semi - Prices salty - Barman didn't flush or wash his hands after using the toilet - Waiter audibly insulted dog walking past as a “dirty mutt”.

Very tasty pizza, very stressed waiters. It's a shame that there is no tap water at the table. A still 0.25 water costs €4. That's a bit disproportionately expensive.

I was very disappointed with my last visit to this restaurant. First of all we had to wait a long time before the menu was even brought to us. The service was extremely slow and inattentive. To make matters worse, we discovered an incorrect and overpriced amount on the bill. The staff was rude and unhelpful. Overall, the price-performance ratio was absolutely unreasonable. This is particularly unfortunate because we used to be guests here often and were always satisfied with the food and service. Unfortunately we won't be coming back in the future.

Very mixed visit. Guests who arrived after us finished eating before we had ours on the table. We got drinks 25 minutes after we sat down. Eating (3x pasta, 1x pizza) took far too long with really moderate occupancy on a Wednesday evening. The staff seemed largely uninterested. The food itself was tasty, but not enough to make up for the poor service or justify the very high prices.

Food good, service good! Everything eaten :)

Food came 30 minutes apart and we had to eat separately. And then the food came wrong too. Drinks also had a wait of 30 minutes. After we raised it, the rudest boss told us never to come back. Absolute disaster. Never again!!

Absolutely disappointing! - Never again! We had the wild herb salad with goat cheese and the wild herb salad with scampi. However, there was no trace of wild herbs! Both salads were completely carelessly prepared, tasted like nothing and the dressing was also missing. Upon request, a bottle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar was placed on the table. Far too expensive for a few mixed lettuce leaves (from the bag), white onions, radishes, two pieces of tomato and olives. The owner responded to our constructive feedback with arrogance and incomprehension. He became really rude and showed no customer focus. We left the restaurant super disappointed and won't be coming back!

Ordered with delivery service and received an absolute disaster. The bruschetta came in a pizza box and the tomatoes were exactly where they weren't supposed to be: NEXT TO THE BREAD! And we also received a completely wrong pizza that was too spicy for us to eat. We won't order from there again.

Today I had the pleasure of visiting L'Antipasto at Antwerpener Str. 39 in Cologne and treating myself to a delicious Fungi pizza to take away. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and a terrace that is perfect for relaxed al fresco dining. The pizza was simply heavenly! The dough was nice and thin and crispy, and the topping of fresh mushrooms and cheese was just perfect. I could literally taste the quality of the ingredients used here. Added to this was the friendly service, which made my visit even more pleasant. It was interesting to see that other visitors were similarly enthusiastic. Some also praised the authentic Italian cuisine and cozy atmosphere. It seems like L'Antipasto is really an insider tip that you should definitely try. All in all, my visit to L'Antipasto was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I look forward to visiting again soon and trying more delicacies. I can definitely recommend this place!

Since the restaurant looks very nice from the outside and you are practically a neighbor, I went there for a drink with my business partner this evening. We sat at a table for two outside by the window. Unfortunately, we had to watch as the person behind the counter responsible for the drinks took out his dentures and calmly emptied his cheek pouches with his fingers in his mouth. Then he spit with relish into the sink, put his teeth back in and then, WITHOUT washing his hands, picked up a blue cloth and continued polishing the glasses. We were more than served. When the owner of the restaurant was asked about the situation, there was only reassurance. His teeth allegedly fell out. There was no apology and nothing on the house. The proud bill was allowed to be paid in full. Hygiene seems to be very important there and doesn't really seem to be of interest. Once and never again! I'm still fighting nausea.

It's nice to sit outside, the service is friendly but chaotic. Unfortunately, the food wasn't anything special and the prices were a bit too high. The Vitello Tonnato is ok. The penne with eggplant was completely swimming in oil. The pizza was ok, the dough was a bit stiff and we didn't like the cheese that much.

Sehr sehr schwaches Essen! Trüffelnudeln war ein einziger Reinfall, mindestens die Hälfte zurückgegeben und niemanden hat es interessiert!

It's nice, but the food isn't particularly exciting and isn't justified for the high price

Super great shop! Waiter was his first day and was extremely professional and friendly. Food great too! See you next time! ✨

Quantity and quality have dropped significantly... Starter was good but the lasagna was really bad. No taste and the meat had to be searched for, something came between the bechamel and pasta… What a shame!

Top service, super good food! Highly recommended!

Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you're unlucky... On my first visit the pizza was excellent and the other dishes I ordered were good. Today the same pizza was either kept warm for too long or a pizza from a previous, incorrect order was brought to me warmed up. I could barely cut the edge, which was far too dry, let alone eat it. The middle of the pizza was swimming in excess oil. The pizza maker probably tried to save the pizza with an overdose of oil. The salmon was fried OK, but the small salad that came with it would have benefited from a dressing. The saltimbocca with rosemary potatoes and fried zucchini was hardly seasoned, but was also swimming in oil. A glass of white wine that was ordered didn't even come to the table, but it did appear on the bill. The service was a bit erratic, the tone towards the hard-working staff was rough, the seating was anything but comfortable and the tables were really squeezed together. I'm happy to give the store another chance because I know it can be better. We gladly accepted the limoncello that was brought as an apology. Unfortunately, today the price-performance ratio was anything but balanced.

Das Essen war sehr enttäuschend. Langweilig gewürzt und lieblos zubereitet bzw. angerichtet. Der gemischte Salat bestand aus nur grünem Salat, einer halben Tomate in Scheiben geschnitten und 3 Oliven. Dafür fast 10 Euro. Alles zusammen war viel zu teuer für liebloses Essen. Sehr schade!

Probably the worst Italian restaurant there is in Cologne

Best spaghetti carbonara I've ever eaten. Absolute recommendation.

Very tasty food, friendly service and great ambience. Highly recommended 👌🏻

Service inattentive, bottle of water forgotten, wrong cutlery, food served cold, but friendly. Pasta dishes were only ok in taste.

Today we (2 people) walked past it with our dog and spontaneously decided to have dinner outside. The order was taken quickly - we also ordered some water for our dog. Drinks came quickly (except the water for our dog), the food came relatively quickly (except the water again). After I asked 4 times if we could have the water, I was insulted in a very unfriendly manner with the words - “Should I serve dogs now?” The tone, the statement itself and the pizza, which unfortunately doesn't taste like anything, make me avoid the shop in the future and only give it one star.

Unfortunately I had a very bad experience. We sat down and asked beforehand if we could just drink something. This was answered in the affirmative. Then we waited a long time to order, only to be told in an unfriendly tone; that we have to eat something. And there were more than enough tables available, we didn't take anything away from anyone. It's a shame, it was an unpleasant experience!

We specifically asked if we could just drink something. After waiting 15 minutes we were told we had to leave. Definitely the last one.

Robertto was lovely and made sure to make me comfortable while waiting for the food and helped me in english while being very patient. Excited to gobble up my gnocchi!! Thank you so much ★彡

Thanks to everyone for the great holiday (my birthday) with you Alessandro, all the best to you!!! To you very soon

Simply great, very accommodating, special requests are implemented with our own ideas. Simply great team and great chef

Good pizza, unfortunately not a good Wildberry Lillet, fast and nice service, toilet very narrow
