Macaroni in Aachen

Delicious food. But prices aren't exactly cheap.

A rustic, dignified Italian restaurant, flair, friendly employees, very good cuisine that stands out from “normal Italians” ❤️

The first time we visited was in October 2024. Sunday afternoon, we came for lunch and the service was very nice. Today was our 2nd visit, we came excited to experience the food and hospitality once again. However, it hasn't happened. Saturday afternoon, around lunch time, barely 6 guests in the restaurant. From the entrance already they gave an unpleasant attitude. We were seated, and after being served, I can only say that our first impressions are watered down. Raviolis were bland, grocery store cheap bag flavour, for 24EUR. You could do it better at home. Lamb chops were decent, but nothing more. Rose wine was good. Anyway, we will hardly go back again.

Very tasty food (I had pasta with strips of rump steak) in a lovely, authentic atmosphere. The service was also very friendly, but at times a bit inattentive and not proactive enough. All of this is complaining at a very high level ;)

Everything here tastes simply fantastic! When I'm craving authentic Italian food, this is my first choice. Plus, the super friendly service – I absolutely recommend it!

A very nice restaurant with an Art Nouveau atmosphere. The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly.

War sehr kurz entschlossen hier essen zu gehen und hat mich nicht enttäuscht, im Gegenteil das ich hier eine authentische Küche erleben durfte, mit Meiner Meinung nach exzellenten Küche und Personal kann ich nur allen nahe legen hier mal vorbei zu schauen und sich verwöhnen zu lassen. Auch die Lokalität selber war eine Augenweide. Komme, qwenn ich hier wieder mal bin auf alle Fälle wieder.

Nous avions choisis ce restaurant pour une soirée en amoureux et sur base des commentaires ainsi que la carte proposée. Le cadre et le service sont vraiment agréables, le repas était bon (entrées, plats et dessert à partager plus bouteille de vin) mais il manquait d’ajustement, d’assaisonnements, sur base de la carte et des ingrédients on s’attendait à plus de « saveur ». Le vin était très bon.

We had a pizza, a Doctor Oetker is even better!

Yes, it was very tasty. A great evening!

It's the second time I go to this restaurant every time I visit Aachen. The food is excellent, good quality and fresh ingredients. Definitely a place that is very worth it.

Excellent restaurant with good atmosphere

Fish bream and prawns fresh, okay, but capers and olives without taste; Fried potatoes with peel (undesirable)

I can definitely recommend it here. However, I didn't use the toilets at all, there was no need. Very nice service and very tasty food, we had salmon noodles with recommended and very tasty white wine. The only thing I personally didn't like (hence deducting a star) is that the tables were placed too close to each other, not even half a meter apart. You couldn't talk much because the people sitting next to you at the table were sometimes so loud that you were constantly distracted because you inevitably heard everything.

Very nice, fast service. Food came quickly and we both enjoyed it very much. Also just like the ambience. You have to visit it.

Nice restaurant with beautiful Art Nouveau elements. Atmosphere like in a Parisian bistro, the tables for 2 are unfortunately so small. Service is rather casual. The food was reasonably good considering the price.

Vorzüglichen Essen in gemütlicher Atmosphäre und zuvorkommender Bedienung. Da fühlt man sich gleich wohl und willkommen.

Das war die beste Spagetti Carbonara, die ich in Aachen gegessen habe. Der Kellner war sehr freundlich Und der Wein, den er empfohlen hat, war auch wirklich gut

Very nice surprise! Delicious Italian food in Germany! The servers were very friendly, what more could you ask for!

A special place with special people with excellent food and selected Art Nouveau armoires. Thanks for the great evening 🙏🏼 AMY🐾 also felt very comfortable!

Nous avons passé le réveillon. Personnel acceuillant et gentil. Nous avons très bien mangé. Le cadre est très joli mais plus petit qu'il n'y parait. A faire!

SUPER FAST VERY FRIENDLY SERVICE VERY ATTENTIONAL

The pasta was okaj/good. The pizza was not good. Friendly people but nothing special

Delicious food and very friendly service!

The lamb shank was so delicious. All employees very friendly and quick

Very unfriendly staff. The boss is very angry, not friendly at all. There is far too little topping on the pizzas. It is also very dirty.

A warm visit to the Italian restaurant at Christmas time We visited the restaurant spontaneously without a reservation and were warmly welcomed and quickly shown to a table despite the Christmas crowds. The festive atmosphere and the friendly service made the evening particularly pleasant. The food was served quickly, was warm and delicious - you could taste the freshness of the ingredients. The mix of excellent service, delicious food and Christmas flair was simply perfect. We'd love to come back!

To sum it up briefly: Location Top. Eating a flop. Unfortunately the pasta was almost tasteless/watery.

Bonnes salades et pâtes. Bon dessert. J'ai été surpris qu'à l'addition un pourboire me soit réclamé. Après vérification ce n'est pas une obligation de le donner. Donc j'ai trouvé cela un peu "cavalier".

Staff were friendly and service was good. Would definitely return.

Very nice little Italian restaurant, quantity a bit below for good eaters but very good service from the top waitress who made a big effort to speak French, super nice

Super tasty authentic restaurant. Were in Aachen and spontaneously got a table. The lamb fillet is the stunner. And there is Ichnusa beer!!!!! Many thanks to the team

Super great Italian. Thank you for the excellent and unusual meal for two ♥️

It was cold and uncomfortable. The food was okay, but nothing special.

Très bonne cuisine Restaurant bien placé Accueil agréable Beau cadre Lasagnes excellentes Bon rapport qualité prix !

I was at Macaroni with my mother (walker). Although it was very busy, the service was attentive and tried very hard to shorten our waiting time. The food tasted good (salmon and lasagna). We'd love to come back.

We were there yesterday with a group of girls and we were all very disappointed. The food was oversalted, some of it was undercooked and the prices were extremely overpriced.

Very tasty food and great atmosphere!

Ein Restaurant, dass auf Touristisch ausgerichtet ist. Preislich etwas über normal, Portionen etwas klein, aber ausreichend. Das Essen kann nicht frisch zubereitet sein, dafür war es nach der Bestellung zu schnell am Tisch. Überaus freundliches und aufmerksames Personal.

We had a delicious meal here in the winter garden. Downstairs there are many Art Nouveau elements, upstairs there are less

One of the best Italian restaurants in Aachen. Very good address ✨️

I've never experienced anything so inflexible! When ordering there was a simple extra request, pizza without cheese (due to intolerance) not possible -> the waitress said: "Only what is on the menu, no special requests as there is too much going on in the restaurant". Then we got up and left.

very dissapointing and overpriced food, service started nice, but after they setve you the food they 100% forget about you

Second time in this Italian restaurant and a little disappointed compared to the first time. Hence the mixed rating.

I’ve passed this restaurant many times and assumed it was like the pasta/macaroni restaurants in the USA. I was very pleasantly surprised to see such beautiful decor and enjoy one of the best authentic Italian pizzas that I have ever had, including those I’ve had in Italy. The table of 8+ people next to us were all enjoying the pasta. I heard them tell the waitress how pleased they were with their meals. My adult niece and I highly recommend Macaroni and I look forward to visiting again the next time that I bring guests to tour the city of Aachen. Special thanks to the chef and to the very friendly host/waitress.

More than 5 stars in my opinion – this evening was truly exceptional! Everything was just right. The stylish, special ambience immediately created a feel-good atmosphere, which was perfectly complemented by the attentive and warm service. The food was not only excellently prepared, but also a real treat for the senses, and the selection of drinks left nothing to be desired. Every detail testified to quality and love for the guest. It was a great evening that I will remember for a long time. I'm sure it wasn't my last visit - I'm already looking forward to the next time!

Super great service, great ambience and the food is simply great! Clear recommendation!!!

Wir sind spontan ins Maccheroni gegangen, wurden freundlich empfangen und bekamen einen zwar sehr engen 2-er Tisch, aber es hat gepasst. Pizza und Pasta waren sehr lecker. Der Service sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Es hat alles gepasst!

Very good table. Friendly staff

Welcoming reception, nice and cozy furnishings. Delicious and tasty food. Fast and accurate operation.

It was really delicious! Unfortunately we were put in the winter garden, which is nowhere near as nice as the restaurant downstairs and, above all, much too loud.

Great food, spent 2 very nice hours here.

Excellent cuisine. Maybe a little light for big eaters. Nice service but nothing more. And no luck, a table of 18 people at the same time as us...it was noisy.

Really rude staff avoid at all costs - young staff who just serve with an attitude

Top class, unique service from Christina, the food was very good as always, Mary and Dieter would be happy to come back!!!

Walked past it a thousand times... In this part of the city center, almost everything, especially the restaurants, is geared towards tourists... Nevertheless, they also go out for a good meal occasionally 😉... I was here because of an appointment with friends and I'm wondering I'm sure you can eat and drink well here in a historic atmosphere! Also: friendly service! So: gladly again!

Such a beautiful location in the heart of the city center, the food is great and the service is top notch, nice, friendly and obliging, so eating is a lot of fun. Again and again and highly recommended, please reserve in advance as it is very busy. From all 6 of us girls, 5 stars plus

It was so pleasant to eat there. Friendly service. Nobody was upset that my guest was 20 minutes late and I had taken the table. The meals were tasty, especially the scallops starter and the dish 44, black spaghetti with salmon, calamari rings and small prawns. The friendly smile of the waitress and the owner asking if everything was okay rounded off the evening. And the atmosphere made you feel good. The prices are anything but exorbitant. I will definitely eat there again on my next visit to Aachen.

It's just that the restaurant has been recommended many times and I'm really looking forward to it. It was just after 9 p.m. and the restaurant was busy. There were a 4-seater table, a 6-seater table and a 2-seater table available at the front left. When asked if the kitchen was still open, the gentleman behind the counter said "until 9:30 p.m." He told us from the counter that we could sit down, so we headed for a table for four in the corner. The waitress immediately came, slammed the menus onto the tiny table for two and turned on us with the words: "No, don't sit here, if there's another big group coming I'll need the table." We politely asked if we could take a seat, and there was another loud announcement: "Nah, I said" We then left the restaurant. The lady then complained about us to the gentleman behind the counter, that's not possible. When you scare away your guests like that... We definitely won't be coming back and won't recommend the place either.

Very good food. You shouldn't eat too late because you want to finish early 😉

Wir haben super lecker gegessen. Freundliche Bedienung, nette Atmosphäre. Wir verstehen die negativen Bewertungen absolut nicht. Besten Dank

Again in beautiful Aachen and I can only say the restaurant is super good from A-Z. Great service, cozy atmosphere and delicious food, whether homemade pasta, steak or pulp, etc. everything was top.

Ich war tatsächlich über die negativen Bewertungen verwundert. An diesem Donnerstagabend waren wir mit Kollegen inkl. Chef (waren für drei Tage auf einem Seminar) beim Macaroni essen. Die Begrüßung war offen und herzlich. Uns wurde unser Tisch gezeigt und direkt die Menukarten ausgehändigt. Allein die Karte zu lesen hat mir das Wasser im Munde zusammenlaufen lassen. Meine Kollegin und ich haben uns eine Vorspeise geteilt (drei Variationen von Bruschetta). Diese waren für uns zwei definitiv ausreichend, waren super lecker und haben uns Lust auf mehr gemacht. Nach dem jeweiligen Aperitif wollten wir eine schöne Weinbegleitung haben. Die absolut sympathische und authentische Kellnerin Iris hat uns einen traumhaften Wein empfohlen (dieser gehört ab sofort zu meinen Lieblingsweinen-> danke Iris!🫶🏼). Es folgte der Hauptgang, der sowie das Dessert wieder top waren. Im Großen und Ganzen ein wunderbarer Abend mit tollem Essen und Service. Ich würde definitiv wiederkommen!

Letzten Sonntag habe ich mit einem befreundeten Paar das Restaurant besucht. Das war auch mit Rollstuhl kein Problem. Nachdem wir die vielfältige Speisekarte studiert hatten, haben wir uns alle 3 für eine Pizza entschieden. Jeder hatte eine andere und wir waren alle sehr zufrieden. Die Bedienung war freundlich und das Ambiente angenehm. Wir kommen gern wieder! In den Sommermonaten empfiehlt des sich allerdings, zu reservieren. Das Restaurant ist sehr gut besucht und bietet sowohl innen als auch draußen Tische.

A wonderfully atmospheric place. Very nice service. Delicious food. I heartily recommend it.

Great food as Italian as u can get !!!

Danke, schlechte Bedienung Essen hat uns nicht geschmeckt Viele Leute im Restaurant dennoch für uns nicht empfehlenswert

Location is great but the service makes it really unpalatable. Incredibly unloving and bitchy staff. The store is closed.

We were at Macaroni with a larger group on a Saturday evening. Even though it was very busy, the service was friendly and quick. All of the food for our group arrived at the same time and we were all satisfied.

I have eaten several times in one word, great, very good food, good, extensive menu, excellent service, I would love to come back here and so would my sister and her husband.

The ambience is very nice, unfortunately the food was not convincing. When we visited Aachen, we decided on Macaroni because we had a very good meal there a few years ago. Our disappointment was therefore all the greater. The bruschette's bread was soggy and the topping was disappointing. The lamb chops were so-so and the pesto that came with them had a bitter aftertaste. The crème brûlée was reminiscent of an egg custard 🫣 Unfortunately a disappointment across the board

This is a great place to spend an evening. The building itself is full of character and the food and service is excellent. We arrived without a reservation and Iris went out of her way to find us a table so we were not disappointed. The evening was made extra special by the great wine, and we were given plenty of time to enjoy this after our meal, and did not feel under any pressure to leave as soon as our meal was finished. We will definitely return the next time we are visiting the area.

We had a great evening at Macaroni. Nice friendly atmosphere. Our server was lovely - can’t remember her name but she had excellent English having lived and worked in Manchester. Food was excellent. I had Vitello Tonnato and Saltimbocca - both excellent. Very good value too. Highly recommended.

We were in the restaurant today and got a miserable impression: there is an unpleasant smell inside, the interior was probably very chic once (30 years ago), today - in need of renovation, the food was inedible and too expensive: a pizza - 15 €, Dumplings - 17€ Never again!

A nice Italian restaurant. Furnishings are a bit nostalgic, but the food and service are great. We had tasty pizza and pasta and a great tiramisu. Price okay too

Delicious food. Great service. Fair price. Nice location. Credivard accepted. Toilet available. Indoor outdoor dining. No vegan/vegetarian options noted.

What we received was of good quality; After about 90 minutes we canceled the order for the main course; We had the impression that they had forgotten to order this in the kitchen. Unfortunately, communication was quite poor and it was difficult to keep things in line. There was also no further order for drinks; a shame as what came out of the kitchen looked very good. Another try will definitely follow - everyone has bad days.

Roll in place and very Italian...so you can feel very comfortable here and the food was great.

Restaurant verspricht viel mehr als es bietet 6er Tisch für 7 Personen ( mit Reservierung) kein Platz für den Salatteller! Geschmacklich waren weder Pasta noch Pizza überzeugend lieblos arrangiert und serviert Preis/Leistung unterirdisch…..eine Flasche „selbstgesprudeltes“ Wasser ( 0,7) für 7 Euro , Salat Calabrese( 1 Tomate , 4 Scheiben Mozzarella, ohne besonderen Geschmack )…16,50 Euro Unfreundlicher Kellner , vergisst die Hälfte und rennt beim kassieren ständig zum Telefon.

Excellent Italian restaurant. One of the best I've eaten in, including in Italy. Food was very flavorful and freshly prepared. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were very busy, but still able to get me a table. I would recommend a reservation. I had Mama Mia, which was freshly made spaghetti and beautiful grilled prawns.

Great restaurant, food was very good

Nous avons été agréablement surpris par le service, à la fois rapide et efficace. Les pâtes fraîches étaient absolument délicieuses, cuites à la perfection avec des sauces savoureuses qui nous ont régalés. On sent vraiment la qualité des ingrédients et le savoir-faire en cuisine. Pour couronner le tout, les prix sont très raisonnables, ce qui rend l'expérience d'autant plus satisfaisante. Un excellent rapport qualité-prix ! Que demander de plus ? Une adresse à retenir pour les amateurs de cuisine italienne authentique et sans prétention !

Ate there today...it couldn't be better...very good food...very nice service...great atmosphere and all at a reasonable price...5 stars

They wanted an additional €60 from us because three people didn't show up for the agreed meal (accident). And that even though there were plenty of seats available in the restaurant. And then they indirectly asked for tips. Never again!!!

Probe la pizza Hawaii SIN PIÑA,muy buena, y tengo que contar que el retrete era dorado,espectacular.muy recomendable

The rude, unprofessional, brash waitress with red hair (old) detracted from the lovely ambience. Your disrespectful behavior spoiled our mood.

Very, very, very tasty food in a nice restaurant. Pizza and tiramisu are awesome. Gladly again and again

Excellent. The service was perfect and the food was very tasty, well cooked, great quality. I would repeat with no doubt.

Waiters are so rude. We waited for about 30 min to order food. We were waiving hands to get their attention but they waiter comes and says “i am not your dog”. Of course you are not my dog, i am just trying to order… unbelievable

This is a nice place for a date! The atmosphere inside is very welcoming and the food is also good! 😊

I am appalled at the treatment I received at this restaurant. The service was not only incredibly rude, but also openly disrespectful. What shocked me most, however, was the blatant racism I faced. It's a shame that something like this still happens in this day and age. I'm giving it two stars because I don't want my review to be dismissed as mere hate speech. But this behavior is absolutely unacceptable and I will definitely not recommend this restaurant to anyone. It's sad and outrageous that people are treated like this here.

Nice place to eat after visiting the Cathedral. The food was outstanding, atmosphere great and the service good

Quite ok. Fast service. It's nice to sit on the street.

The best restaurant in all of Germany, TOP

Excellent Italian restaurant. Perfect atmosphere, very cozy, great service (Iris!) and very good food!

For the first time I didn't like it, it's a shame! Also waited an exceptionally long time. It's a real shame because I've often spent lovely hours there.

The pasta was soggy and the pesto didn't taste like anything. Correct service

Great atmosphere! Very tasty food, unusual dishes. Not your average Italian! High culinary art. Good wines. Would love to come back.

An authentic restaurant where you can find the atmosphere of Italy

We were eating at Macaroni with 6 friends. Everyone was very satisfied. From the aperitif to the main course and dessert, everything was really good. The atmosphere is very nice and we spent a great 3 hours there.
