Magic in Laatzen

...so many good reviews in the last few weeks—we (two people, arriving a week ago, around 9:20 p.m., and regulars between 2000 and the end of 2022) must have arrived at a bad time. Two tables in the entrance area were fully occupied (people had already eaten, drinks were still being ordered). In the room behind, the last two guests were just paying, so only we wanted to eat. A young waiter took our order, then brought us drinks and a bread basket with an empty middle plate, which also remained empty. The food also arrived surprisingly quickly—penne arrabiata for me. These looked unusual, but since I was hungry, I started eating—they also tasted unusual, and the sauce was "stringy." There was no waiter in sight, so I headed toward the counter/kitchen, where I found what I was looking for: I asked the older waiter if my meal was "Arrabiata" because it looked and tasted different. Yes, yes, it is Arrabiata, he replied. I meant, but the dish "used" to not have meat sauce... He paused and suddenly said that I was right after all, then apologized and said I had received "Spaghetti Marcchiata" (or something similar) and that it wasn't a meat sauce, but a ham sauce... Aha!! I could swap it, too. As I said, I was hungry and it was already quite late - so I thanked them for the swap, but would finish the dish that had been brought to me. When we wanted to pay, the waiter in question came back to the table, gave us a curt "Ready?" and cleared the table. We finished our drinks, paid, and left, quite disappointed, the restaurant we once loved so much. We'll be coming back for dinner soon with friends who also know the restaurant from before, and I hope that everything goes as planned that evening. Karola

The lady at the order counter is not very service-oriented. I come every week and there are 5 people standing in front of the counter so I couldn't hear or see her when she wanted to announce that the takeaway food was ready. She calls out loudly, almost screaming "hello, hello, hello" instead of bringing me the takeaway food to the table where I was waiting, like every week. No, never mind, it's a shame because the food is very tasty.

We work with heart here! I felt very comfortable and the food was tasty! I'd love to come back!

Fast but good number. Nice card, with everything you need.

Yes, very quiet and simple. Nice service.
