L'Osteria in Köln

totally nice Served quickly+ Way too big portions :-)

Pseudo Italian restaurant chain. South American music (Latin) Surprising mozzarella. Size of XXL pizzas but served on normal plates. Garlic pasta is chili pasta. No garlic. Not much Italian.

Service was great Atmosphere cool, not too loud to talk but not to quiet. Well located at Ebertplatz Pizzadough was unfortunately quite flavourless and tough. "Schinken"Meat was not good... But the Mushroomtopping and spinach is great!

We were there with 8 people on Sunday late afternoon. The staff was extremely friendly and in a good mood. When ordering, alternatives were pointed out and recommendations were made. The food was excellent, the pizzas were huge and delicious. For the more nutritionally conscious, there was even zucchini noodles with chicken. Highly recommended!

This place has become a real favorite restaurant for me. Every time I'm there, I immediately feel at home - not just because of the great ambience, but above all because of the warm staff. You are always welcomed with a smile and the staff are incredibly attentive without being intrusive. They manage to make you feel really welcome. The kitchen is simply great. The pizzas are huge and have the perfect crispy base, just the way I like it. And the pasta always tastes fresh and homemade. It's clear that the cooking here takes place with a lot of passion. The dessert tastes excellent!

Although you don't know the difference between a salsiccia and a pepperoni salami, the pizza itself is solid. However, if an owner of an Italian restaurant completely lacks interest in Italian ingredients, I personally lose interest in the store.

Food was tasty and affordable. Reservations recommended!

Tourist trap? Neither my friend or me think the food was “good” enough for the price we paid each. We somehow also felt like we were “forced” to tip the restaurant. As we didn’t know about the tipping culture in germany, we simply choose to tip to be polite. However, other places we've ate didn’t ask nor mention that the tipping wasn't included in the food, and their terminals also didn't have the option to tip. So the visit really made us confused about the tipping culture, and we left a little let down after paying 2x the price of what we've payed for dinner the previous days.

Nice outdoor cafe in a historic setting. Friendly service

The food was great, just a little too fatty, but the service from the young Mr. Sasan was great.

Everything was great, we would come back again and the young man Mr. Khaki served us great service.

Had a spontaneous lunch there today. The pasta was perfect, the pizza was wafer-thin without being dry. The service was super friendly and on the ball. We'd love to come back.

Very nicely decorated, but unfortunately a lot of traffic

Very tasty fresh pizza 🍕 I haven't tried any other dishes yet but it wasn't the last time I was there.

A pizza with Philipp is always great. Kani best waiter. Back soon.

Were there today and it was great! Very nice staff and the food was really good. Additionally, the restaurant was really nicely designed. I would like to thank Yalili :) (hope the name is spelled correctly)

I can more than recommend L'Osteria in Cologne on Ebertplatz. (About 10 minutes walk from the cathedral) Such a nice place. The pizzas are huge and the staff is absolutely and in all respects more than friendly. Top service

Dirty cutlery, dirty glasses, bread dried out and sauce tastes moldy

I generally like food, but only if the necessary attention is paid to the preparation of the food. Unfortunately, that didn't work today (08/01/24) for a pick-up pizza (unfortunately not for the first time either). I really like the edge, unfortunately one half of the edge was charred. I don't think it's okay to give out a pizza like that. I wouldn't have accepted that in a restaurant.

After the pizza, my husband and I got stomach ulcers and ended up in the hospital. Still questions?

Pizza and pasta has been good on previous visits, but not very good. The service was mostly bad. It's a shame because everything was very good after the opening.

Always an experience! Mega delicious food and great homemade drinks.

Super good service, the food was very tasty! To the boss: Thanks for the rose! Best regards Henri

Very tasty food and nice staff, especially Zabih!

We were there with a group of almost 40 people and everything went great and was very tasty.

We were here with a large group of 40 people and had ordered our food in advance. Everything was very organized and we hardly had to wait for our orders. The food was delicious and our waiter was really friendly.

Generally cool restaurant, unfortunately the last price increase has gotten completely out of hand, a Pizza Rustica now costs €16, compared to €11 two years ago, that cannot be justified by rising costs. It's also annoying that when I order online, I regularly have to wait 15 minutes to pick it up on site, despite ordering an appointment.

Not worth a visit. Pasta was mushy and soft; Ruccola wilted on top. Salad for starter came 15 minutes after the main course. Accompaniment received pizza and appetizer together. Pizzas are way too big. Most of the time half goes back into the kitchen/waste. Less would definitely be more. Also, the music is way too loud. Only the service was very friendly.

There is space for 16 people here. At first I wasn't happy with the place (a bit old-fashioned), but then I felt comfortable. Has something. Service staff was excellent. We felt we were in good hands. The food was also very good.

Comida deliciosa y buena calidad precio. El sitio muy chulo y el camarero muy amable. Las pizzas son grandes y la ración de pasta es buena también.

Delicious food and great service

Very tasty food, I really enjoy coming here :-)

Great welcome from the maître de plaisir, delicious drinks and the usual good food

Felt no service for every request, had to ask 10 times, knife and fork had to be sent back because they were so dirty when served. Rhine catastrophe Almost an hour has passed by the time the food arrives!

Waiters with humor, nice atmosphere, we were there with a large group and still got our food almost all at the same time.

Titiano great service!!!! Men's toilets terrible as always. But Jesus loves you! ❤️ He died on the cross and paid for everything.

Good restaurant with good setvice.

Food was delicious 👍🏻 Great service from the boy Mr. Sasan. We will be back definitely :)

Food as good as always at L'Ostetia. The service was super friendly. It was a nice lunch :)

Good restaurant, quite a choice for dishes, less for desserts. Read the menu carefully, because the pizzas are large, 45cm, but very good.

The food is great and the service is just always excellent. It's always a pleasure to be at Losteria Ebertplatz! 👏🏻❤️

It's a shame...was there with family, ate badly and unfortunately left disappointed. Pizza was good. Bruschetta was limp and soft. Only half of the lasagna was edible, the rest was so baked that you couldn't even get through it with a knife. Maccheroncini al Gorgonzola...unfortunately only made with cream, Gorgonzola was not tasty...left standing. The waiter explained to us that the lasagna is not made in-house and that's why something like this can happen??? When asked if he would like to try it, he said he wouldn't eat anything like that here. Men's toilet disgusting, water on the floor in all rooms, the shop has lost its charm...it's a shame

Really delicious food and a super nice staff. We'd love to come back.

After eating pizza (mushrooms with ham) we have a stomach ache for a week!!🤮🤮🤮

The panna cotta is very fresh and very tasty. I recommend them for lovers of this dessert.

I have to say first time and the last time we start with the salad INSALATA MANZO Beef fillet strips were counted 3 pieces the mango was a joke 2 mini cubes and the rest was green to me I say in the value of the goods none 2 euros and I think we paid 18€ no tomatoes no corn no cucumbers........ it looked like it was dead if you charge these outrageous prices you should also offer something like that it doesn't have a name anymore you can see it on it Photo the salad has no color and we would have to season or dress it and on the subject of inflation there is none, you make up the prices according to your mood On the subject of giant pizza, large, far too much topping, inedible. The dough is extremely thin. I didn't like the bread at all. The pizza was a disaster. See the pictures. It says a lot. I'm at a loss for words and stuff like that. People eat everything

My business partner and I wanted to try this l'osteria. We can only attest to the negative comments from various customers that “xenophobia” is prevalent here. The waiter with glasses, black hair and a black beard only saw us after 30 minutes! asked if there were two of us. We said yes. Then he said that the small, square table was for 4 people and said we should move around. Now the other tables were round, just as small and also with 4 chairs. The other customers, who sat in pairs like us, were not "relocated". After asking why we and not the others, the unfriendly waiter replied "that we should take you to McDonald's". The other guests - mind you, only Germans - shook their heads. Fazi: Pure xenophobia!

I made an observation outside today that makes me angry and sad. We sat at a table outside. Two young men with a migration background sat down near us. When the waiter came out with the cards after about 30 minutes, he told the two men to sit at a round table. The square ones would only be for 4 people. After one of them pointed out to the waiter that there were four chairs at the round tables and what a difference that made, the waiter then said in an aggressive and denouncing tone: Then go to McDonalds. The two then silently got up and left. It's really a shame to see something like that happen. My colleagues and I will avoid L'Osteria in the future. The waiter with glasses, black hair and a beard behaved disrespectfully and, in my opinion, racistly towards the men.

We visited the restaurant 2 days in a row and were thrilled with the food and service. If we come to Cologne again, this restaurant will be the first address.

In short: the large pizza is good. A very tasty, thin dough is clearly topped (Vegetariana). The lasagne is not! At a price of over 14 euros you should get a better quality. There are probably better frozen goods out there. CONCLUSION: It's better to just eat pizza!

We went there in the early evening and waited almost an hour to get my pasta. The taste was flat and seemed like they forgot the salt. Later, when we were about to pay, the waitress asked if everything was fine. I told her that unfortunately, something seemed to be missing in my sauce and taste was flat. She didn't react and just asked if we wanted to pay with card or cash. We will never go there again. 👎👎

The best service staff 👍🏼 Food was also perfect

Service wasn't what i expected went there with a group of freinds for 8th of March and reserved a table for 10 and have been told that the maximum we can stay is 2 hours and we need to get up.

Super delicious food and super nice service. Worth it for a great dining experience!

Super tasty pizzas, great service, and very good prices!

Ambience food 10/10 always happy great service ❤️

Unfortunately my visit to Losteria was disappointing. The staff wasn't particularly friendly and the service left a lot to be desired. The salad I ordered didn't seem very appetizing and didn't taste really fresh. When I requested a refund it was not accepted. Shame about the money and the experience

Enjoy your meal. Pizza on a thin pond. Tasty. Large pizzas are for giants

I ordered a pizza with ham, unfortunately I got a pizza that was very, very spicy and I can't eat it (RDS). Mistakes happen, I fully support them, no problem. I found it embarrassing that the "boss" and the waitress stood next to me and claimed that I had eaten half of the pizza and that she would have to charge for it now, given that the goods had a maximum value of 2.50 euros. If at all I ate a maximum of 30 percent of the pizza, and then trying to console myself with an espresso after the six of us had waited almost an hour for our food was unfortunately not possible. Stay honest and fair and own up to your mistakes, then I don't have to write negative reviews. For me it's definitely not about the few euros the pizza cost...

Very tasty, large pizza, super friendly staff, gladly again

A bit of compromise...I'm used to Aachen, it's a little bit better in terms of ambience and service. Nevertheless, L'osteria is always a popular place here and is generally recommended 👍 Thumbs up!

Fast service, good portions and ok price. The food is delicious, but the house soda could be a little more intense in taste.

This store is really miserable. When it opened it was really great but now thank you. Waited 20 minutes for someone to serve us after the seat was assigned, but no one came, the waiters even walked past us. It's really a shame that only low-level people come to this store.

Super delicious food and above all the service was top notch.

The food is very tasty and the service is very friendly.

Delicious. Very friendly staff. I can only recommend it, it tasted great.

Attentive service, great food! This Losteria is particularly good in pasta.

Very good service, nice employees. The food tasted good, highly recommended

A very nice afternoon at L’Osteria Ebertplatz Cologne. The food was very good, large portions and the service was even better. We had dinner here today with our work colleagues and we were all completely thrilled and would continue to recommend the restaurant without any hesitation. Thanks to the entire staff

Food was ok, service was friendly and quick, atmosphere was pleasant. Was only there for a quick snack, but will definitely come back with more time.

Zabih was a great waiter and we felt very comfortable 👍🏼

According to the waiter, it can take up to two hours to receive your food. All the other tables that came into the restaurant after us received their food sooner. Definitely not recommended for lunch during the break.

We enjoyed a comfortable and relaxing break. Good service

Very good food and the service was a dream. Gladly again

Great taste, great look of the food, great, very friendly and helpful service

Waiter was very competent. Food also very tasty. A great evening.

I haven't had such nice service as Tiziano's in a long time

Very nice staff, tastiest giant pizza.

I can't recommend it. Makes us wait outside even though there are tables inside. When we went in we were sent out again, even though we had 2 small children with us and we had already met 3 different waiters. Haven't experienced anything like this yet. Very unfriendly, bad-tempered staff. In addition, we and 3 other tables had to wait about 70 minutes for the food. Never this location again.

Incredibly unfriendly and unprofessional staff. First you are left to stand at the entrance door and wait. If you look for a seat after asking, you will be evicted from the restaurant when it is not full because the seat is supposedly intended for three people and not two. Ridiculous. Food okay, but also overpriced. And when you want to pay, you will forget again.

We were very satisfied. The pizzas were served quickly and we found the staff to be very friendly and attentive. Many thanks also to the nice manager at reception who made our evening better. We'll definitely be back soon! :)

Went to this restaurant spontaneously and got a table. Service and cuisine get 5 stars. Really friendly staff. Extra wishes were also respected. The food came quickly. Fresh ingredients and large portions. We would eat here again any time. Thank you very much for a lovely dinner for two with good service, delicious food in a lovely atmosphere.

Easter Monday evening the restaurant was of course full, which caused longer waiting times. But what happened to us was underground, we waited 45 minutes for a starter of bruscetta and only when we were finished did the waiter obviously order pizza and pasta for us, which then took another 45 minutes. Yes, they said it would be full, but there were definitely people who came later who had been provided with food beforehand and a group of eight people who had ordered at the same time as us had already left, including eating and paying, when we finally got our pizza. Never Again Osteria Ebertplatz

Service was very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, the food was a disappointment. I had spaghetti carbonara, which had almost no sauce on it and was therefore incredibly dry, but had a lot of bacon.

Courteous and relaxed service and delicious food at an acceptable price in a down-to-earth atmosphere. No more is needed. Gladly again.

Mega tasty..great quality and super nice service.

Pizzas are served quickly, pasta can take an hour. And if the pasta offered on the menu is no longer there, a different type is offered, but no information is given that an additional charge will be charged.

We were there yesterday with the family. Full house, great service. Only recommended.

Definitely the best L'Osteria branch! Very nice shop. Great atmosphere. The staff were very friendly, the food was delicious. We will be back. 11/10 - especially the pizzas are huge <3

By far the best L’Osteria branch in Cologne. Thanks to the friendly and funny staff, we had a really fun evening here. The food was top as always. We'd love to come back!🫶🏼

Dear Losteria team, I recently had the pleasure of visiting Losteria and I can enthusiastically say that it was a wonderful experience. From the moment I walked through the door I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The manager, whose friendliness and warmth were truly remarkable, made me feel at home straight away. The ambience of the restaurant is charming and cozy, which is perfect for a relaxed dinner. The wait staff was attentive and courteous and I felt genuinely cared for. Now to the most important part - the food. The menu offers a wide range of traditional Italian dishes and I chose the Margherita pizza and a selection of antipasti. The pizza was baked to perfection, with fresh ingredients and a delicious, crispy crust. The antipasti were also excellent, offering a variety of flavors and textures. All in all, my visit to Losteria was an absolute pleasure. The warm atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food make this restaurant a place I can definitely recommend.

Since we were now tired and worn out by frankfurters and chips, we went to a place where the familiar name echoed on the door, "the tavern", confident of finding refreshment and feasting on Italian smells... but it was with great tragedy that we found strange pasta and pizza adorned with strips of chicken, so that we shouted in unison: "German cook, give back what doesn't suit you". Paraphrase: German pizzas and very original dishes that you would never find in Italy. The three stars are for the beer.

Me and my brother friend from middle East of Europe trying to eat here for lunch. We have been sitting there for 10 minutes, one of the staff came and talk to us that we can not sit here so we should go outside wait or go somewhere which the tables are available and not reserved. Then I went to ask another staff behind the bar and he told me that I can sit anywhere I want. So for that time waits and get this line ether for service, I could understand for that “service for another skins” . 1 star is enough. I am a big fan of Italian food, but things I have been through here, it is depressing.

Outstanding pizza, quality is not on the same level in some branches, but today was already world class. I would particularly like to highlight the service of the waiter Tiziano (I was so impressed that I proactively asked for the name to write a review, which I never do). He was excellent in his advice without being intrusive, extremely attentive and consistently and proactively ensured the quality standard. You could see how he managed his entire area in the same way and thus had it under control. He should become a service trainer so that his service standards become the L'Osteria standard. Thanks for the experience!

The tables are a bit tight. Unfortunately, they only serve mozzarella made from cow's milk. Apparently there are dishes with buffalo mozzarella, but I didn't find it on the menu. He was probably blind or his glasses weren't clean. Unfortunately, you can't get real buffalo mozzarella on your pizza instead of mozzarella for an additional charge. It was ok, at L'Osteria you just know what to expect.

The pizzas were very large but also very good, the pizza base was really thin, perfect. What's really good is that you can combine two different pizzas.

Food was very good. Service took a while for the drinks, but was very nice and it was quite loud.

The food, ambience and service (Locke) was very accommodating and nice!

The food was top. We were served by Locke, a very pleasant waiter!!!

Everything was top notch Was served by Locke Simply wonderful!!
