Pasta Werkstatt - hausgemachte & frische Nudeln - Pasta - Köln in Köln

As always, the food was delicious, but that was about it. The glasses weren't clean, and the service was very inattentive. We asked several times for dessert...after half an hour, we finally gave up and paid.

I went to the Pasta Werkstatt today based on a recommendation. We were the only ones in the place, and yet the service was poor. The portions are very, very small, and we paid €65 for two people. The price-performance ratio is absolutely not right. We each ordered a portion of pasta, a Coke each, and shared bruschetta for starters. If the portions were reasonable and the taste was decent, then the €65 would be fair, but not under these circumstances. The pasta is homemade, hence one star, but it's still absolutely not worth a visit.

The food is good but very expensive and the portions are small. What a pity.

The food is really delicious, but too expensive for what you get. €3.80 for half a burrata, which isn't enough for all the pasta, is quite steep, not to mention the already high prices. The absolute highlight: The young waitress is absolutely phenomenal! Super friendly and accommodating.

One large table for good communication, a great concept. The excellent Italian food is served with a smile. It's often packed with partygoers. A perfect restaurant all around. The fried gnocchi appetizer is highly recommended. Crispy, yet super juicy and delicious on the inside.

The food was delicious, but the service and atmosphere were disastrous due to the street festival taking place right outside. If we had been told beforehand that there was a festival going on that day, we wouldn't have come. As we were coming from out of town, we had no idea about the street festival. The toilets were filthy as everyone from outside went to the toilet there. It was so loud that you couldn't understand anyone at the table. We waited 20 minutes before we were even asked for a drink. There were no starters or desserts that day either. We found that very disappointing. Half the menu simply wasn't available. Half the dishes were already sold out by 6 p.m. Bread wasn't available until after we had finished eating. All in all, very disappointing considering the food was delicious. We just ate everything quickly and left again.

Had to wait an hour to get food today; the server promised us a ‘gift’ for making us wait then never gave us anything when we left and paid full price; food was mid and there was a piece of plastic from their sponge in the meat, very disappointed

Simply wow...a very, very nice owner who personally looked after us, gave us recommendations, and even said goodbye to us personally. Now for the food...it was amazing. A very tasty starter and the pasta was also fantastic. The tiramisu was perfect. We'll definitely be back and I can only recommend everyone to go there.

Terrible pasta and truly rude service. "Customer is king" is NOT a priority here!

The food was excellent! Pasta with a twist. The concept is fantastic, I highly recommend it! The ambiance loses one star because the restaurants are so close together that you have no privacy at all.

Everything was perfect, great service and delicious food!

Three lemon seeds in my pasta, but even without this faux pas, I would rate the meal as average at best. Considering the focus here is exclusively on pasta, the quality and taste should be better.

Delicious homemade pasta, great, attentive service. Highly recommended!

Fantastic pasta – highly recommended Very attentive service The restaurant is quite small and not exactly suited for long sitting sessions; but since the dishes arrive quickly, this shouldn't be a problem.

Super delicious pasta! Very friendly and attentive staff! No long wait. Nice atmosphere. We really enjoyed it. We'll be back 😊

I love this shop, it's very cozy and small and the food is just perfect 🫶🏻 I have to go back again

Exceptional, friendly service. Fresh pasta in a pleasant atmosphere. We'd love to come back 😊

Service was very friendly and great. Food was boring and did not taste fresh. Pasta was super chewy, sauce did not taste like something an average skilled person could not do at home. All in all too pricy for the quality. Not recommended!

Very tasty spaghetti aglio e olio and a good non-alcoholic drink.

Excellent, authentic Italian pasta dishes and exceptional starters – a real treat! The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. I really like the decor and the music inside gives a real Italian flair. Definitely one of my favorite places!

The service was friendly and attentive - the staff made an effort. Unfortunately the selection of pasta types was rather limited, which is disappointing for a pasta restaurant. In terms of taste, it was okay, but for what was on offer, we didn't think it was quite good value for money.

Everything fresh and really tasty, high quality. I have never eaten such good pasta here.

The Pasta Workshop impresses across the board! The location itself is ideal – centrally yet comfortably located. The ambience is lovingly designed and fits perfectly with the concept of the restaurant: charming, inviting and with great attention to detail. I would particularly like to highlight the service, which is extremely friendly and attentive. As a guest you feel completely comfortable and welcome. The menu is clear and concise, which I find very pleasant - no overloaded pages, but a well-thought-out selection of dishes. A real highlight for me is the carbonara - by far the best I've ever eaten! Authentic, creamy, perfectly seasoned and a real taste experience. Another plus: For a fair price you can also buy fresh pasta to take away so you can bring a piece of Pasta Workshop home. For me it's an absolutely deserved 5 stars - and a clear recommendation for all pasta lovers! A reservation is recommended as the pasta workshop is busy at certain times!

The service was very friendly and accommodating. I wasn't entirely impressed by the selection and the food, but that's of course a matter of taste. I was also confused because others were ordering coffee and the reviews here also mention desserts, but there was none of that on the menu we received. Oh well. The atmosphere was cozy, but unfortunately the music wasn't my thing.

A really great shop/restaurant. We ate the carbonara, the best I've had in a long time. 👍 The staff is very friendly and attentive! Can recommend a visit to everyone.

I had food poisoning afterwards! Don't go there!

Very tasty pasta, really something special! The selection is great, as well as drinks, desserts, etc. We were there with a child and it was wonderful. We'd love to come back!

The best meal we've had in a restaurant in a long time! The quality of the food, the creativity, and the love for cooking can be tasted in every bite. Everything is just perfect here. And you're also warmly looked after. Thank you for the wonderful evening!

Very tasty pasta, not cheap for a plate of pasta but tastes very good.

Everything fits together here. If you're willing to spend a little more money, you'll get the finest pasta that's something special.

Great Italian, the atmosphere is great. The pasta is made on site. It's not exactly cheap there, but it's absolutely justified for the quality. The employees are very nice and attentive. There are plenty of seating options inside and outside. Been there a few times and would love to come back.

Here you know your craft! Culinary far ahead. Recommendation!

Great boss! Great team! Flo stole my heart! The food was incredibly tasty and the overall experience was extremely successful.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Allergies and requests were taken into account very well. The food was very tasty. We'd love to come back. Everything great!

I visited the pasta workshop for the second time. The ambience is really great. Unfortunately, on both the first and second visits it was noticeable that the service was not particularly friendly. On our last visit, a third person came later (after dinner). This was simply completely ignored. The food was okay but that could be better. Pasta itself was cooked very well, but both dishes lacked seasoning or taste. Very unfortunate.

Yesterday we walked past the pasta workshop, after a coffee at lunchtime the workshop came back to our memories. We were greeted warmly and easily got a table by the window. The ambience looks very inviting from the outside. The staff was very friendly and personable. The pasta was very tasty and was also well prepared. Price-performance ratio was perfectly fine. What I personally think is great is that the Pasta Workshop makes its own pasta and also sells it at the counter. Another positive aspect that I noticed at the checkout is that they participate in Too good to Go and sell excess food instead of throwing it away. Conclusion: great restaurant with good dishes and a relaxed atmosphere

The service was TOP because we ordered through Wolt and got our money back. We waited almost 2 hours for our food and then of course the pasta was cold and really bad, so I've never seen such a heartless portion of pasta with salmon before. My trash can was happy and so was the store we had to order from.

It was very delicious however take into consideration that the toppings are expensive and not in price included! You have to pay extra even though it isn’t shown on the menu. Be extra careful of the truffle‼️⚠️ Otherwise the staff was really really nice and kind. The portion were not too much but also not too small it was perfect size and it was served fast. So overall 4,5 stars

It's always delicious here and now there's even a lunch menu. I have never been disappointed in the pasta workshop ❤️❤️❤️

You can't get more Italy than that... Except of course in Italy :)

I love this place, the food and the team. We‘ll come back soon!

I can only recommend very, very tasty food. You can also buy noodles to take away so that you can prepare them at home. It doesn't take long to make. The restaurant is also very nice

We come here often and the food is always a ten out of ten as is the service.

Nice atmosphere and very friendly service :) Unfortunately, the pasta dishes are pretty bland; if we hadn't ordered parmesan, we wouldn't have tasted anything. The pesto is also super watery. So unfortunately it's not for pasta lovers :/

We tried the ravioli with truffle (burrata topping) and the rigatoni with salmon in a lemon-dill sauce - and it was simply delicious! We were particularly impressed by the truffle ravioli. The combination of truffle and burrata was perfect. You can tell straight away that the noodles are homemade. The rigatoni was also very tasty, with the fresh lemon dill sauce, which brought a pleasant freshness and lightness. Highly recommended! Another highlight was the service – super friendly and attentive.

I gave the Pastawerkstadt a second chance, I have to say the price is absolutely not justified. The portion is too small, everything costs extra, the taste is ok. As for the service, I have to say like last time, too loud, too rude. They were just talking too loudly behind the counter and I couldn't enjoy my food. The waitress took the plate away from me while I was still dipping my bread into it.

Very cool authentic Italian with super fresh pasta and super friendly staff. The delicious house wine and a tiramisu at the end are my tips.

Unfortunately the operation still has to learn a bit!!! Food disaster not recommended!!!

Homemade pasta and nicely decorated restaurant. Unfortunately, the pasta tasted a bit too salty

Super delicious food. Very good service. Gladly again.

Been there several times and always very satisfied.

Great, our reservation was canceled without comment. What's that supposed to mean? Absolutely unreliable, so you can't plan a visit.

Just wow. Here you get by far the BEST authentic carbonara in all of COLOGNE. In general, all pasta dishes are recommended. I'm always happy when I go to the pasta workshop :)

Very friendly - even to children! Good children's portions!

This is by far the best pasta in Germany! The fried gnocchi as a starter is definitely a must.

Best pasta (Carbonara in my case) I've ever eaten! I can also only recommend the fried gnocchi as a starter and of course the tiramisu shouldn't be missed either ;)

Probably the best spaghetti carbonara north of the Alps. Very friendly and attentive staff. Very happy again!

Very tasty pasta and tiramisu, super friendly staff. When full it's just a bit loud.

Seven of us spontaneously ate here. Service was very friendly, we didn't wait long for the food. We all had bread as a starter which was served with olive oil and olives. For the main course we all had pasta and for dessert the lava cake and tiramisu. Everything was very, very tasty and everything else that was on the counter looked delicious. At the end there was limoncello on the house for everyone. We can't say anything bad and go home satisfied and full.

We ate very tasty food. There are great pasta dishes, handmade and traditional. I particularly liked the ravioloni with pumpkin and turmeric cream and the tagliatelle Bolognese. Cozy atmosphere with friendly and open staff. Highly recommended! We'll definitely be back.

Very nicely decorated. The service makes you feel at home and the food is simply great!!!!

We really liked it, certainly not the best, but not the worst pasta either. Will try it again

The pasta was really really good. Unfortunately the sauce was bland and a bit disappointing. But I would definitely come again to buy the pasta! :)

As an Italian I have to compliment the restaurant Excellent fresh pasta, natural and Italian products The carbonara and pinsa are recommended

Wonderful pasta and very friendly service. Also recommended starter and dessert. I'll be back.

The most delicious original Italian passta that we tried in Cologne. Very nice staff and the waiter was really generous. After lunch we also bought fresh pasta to cook ourselves and were very satisfied. 😃 Really nice people

Everything was super delicious! The best pasta restaurant in Cologne🥰 The service from the waiter today was super professional!

The pasta tastes extremely good. The service was quick and friendly despite the restaurant being full. I ordered a veggie carbonara, which was with me a few minutes later. It was nicely presented, but without any unnecessary frills. I also drank an Italian beer (Peroni), which I also liked. I also have nothing to complain about in terms of price. Not super cheap, but also far from expensive. To end the evening I drank the house white wine. Well what can I say, exactly... I also liked it very much. Definitely one and worth more visits 😁 Big praise to the whole team, including the boss.

The food was super tasty and very good portions.

I ate a Cabonara and a Profiterol dessert. Service was super friendly, the food was also super tasty. Unfortunately the cabonara didn't remind me of the one in Italy. Is the workshop's own creation. In terms of price it was also perfectly fine. Would come again, but order a different pasta.

It tastes the way it tastes in stores like this. Anyone expecting authentic Italian cuisine will be disappointed. The service is bad.

The women and men in service are more than friendly and very warm. We really enjoyed the food!

Very tasty pasta, carbonara and fried gnocci highly recommended. A small mistake by the service was excused with a drink on the house. In general, the service is fast, friendly and accommodating. Happy to come back!

A very nice and cozy little restaurant with excellent pasta dishes. Very friendly staff who are on their toes and give great advice. Nice atmosphere with a clear view of the kitchen. It's fun and makes you happy.

Very tasty food. Fantastic pasta. And although I've eaten a lot of tiramisu in my life, this tiramisu was particularly creamy and delicious 😋 Always my pleasure

My daughter chose the restaurant. We were in Cologne for the first time. Great ambience and very, very good food. Very friendly staff. The starter...(gambas in mango chili sauce was a hit). The price/performance ratio is also very good. When I'm back in Cologne, I'll come back.

Pasta was very good and the fresh noodles made a difference. Unfortunately, that was already the positive. They ruined it for me because of the rest. A few years ago they suddenly had self-service for the 3 (!) tables outside. And it didn't say that anywhere. Then there was a device that buzzes when the food is ready (the whole place is mini). You had to go in, you were given a tray with all the food, and the staff watched stupidly as you tried to open the door inwards while balancing the tray. Now they have an automatic telephone voice if you want to order something. You have to wait forever and then say "forward" (in 2024). It's just that you won't be redirected. I called at 6:30 p.m. The telephone voice said: "Unfortunately we cannot accept your call at the moment. You can reach an employee between 6 p.m. and 6:05 p.m." ??? It's a shame, this inconvenience doesn't make up for the good food.

Great service and food is a 10/10. Many thanks to Sergio!

We were guests yesterday and although there wasn't really much going on, we found the service to be short and only moderately friendly. It started with the drink order, when my wife ordered a glass of wine, but she wasn't even asked which one, a glass of white wine was simply put down without comment. The food was then picked up and the starters came quickly. The scampi were very tasty, the goat's cheese was cold - it was flambéed and when we asked we were told it had to be that way... I know differently but ok. My wife's pasta (Lemon Mare Amore) was very good, and the portion was also generous. I deliberately ordered a classic red bolo, which for me is simply the benchmark when it comes to pasta - it was ok, but nothing more. Maybe I'm really picky, but this dish in particular has to be right when I offer it. Yes, it takes time and the right ingredients, but if I offer it and pasta is my hobby, I expect an original RAGÙ CLASSICO BOLOGNESE as it has been prepared in Italy for generations. This Bolo Red was a pretty stripped down and bland version that tasted overly "tomatoey". Finally it should be an espresso. Two came, for whatever reason - otherwise I would have ordered espressos. With espresso: no crema, cup not preheated properly and actually comes with a small glass of water... it doesn't have to, but it's common practice in Italy. We then complained about the espresso or espressos, which were taken off the bill and then the service was ultimately unfriendly. So overall not a very nice experience - apart from the bolo, the service is definitely not what I would expect from someone who wants to represent Italian hospitality.

Extremely nice, friendly and courteous service, including personal recommendations straight from the kitchen when a dish is changed due to personal preferences. From the moment you enter until you say goodbye, you will be served with warmth, humor and taste as well as quality in perfection. Gladly again at any time. Keep it up!

Very very attentive staff and fantastic food! From starters to dessert - everything was perfect

Whelle eat killer and service serious

The food is incredibly tasty and beautifully presented. The staff is very attentive and friendly. A place to feel good.

This restaurant is an absolute insider tip for all pasta lovers! The selection of dishes is limited to pasta and pasta, but that's exactly what makes it so special. All main ingredients, including the flour, come directly from Italy, and the pasta is made fresh in-house daily. You can immediately taste the quality and the difference to industrial goods - the pasta is perfectly al dente and has a fantastic bite. The taste is simply authentic and purely Italian. Each dish celebrates the simplicity and richness of Italian cuisine, focusing on the finest ingredients. Whether classic spaghetti with tomato sauce, creamy carbonara or sophisticated pappardelle with truffles - every dish is a little masterpiece. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and welcoming, with a touch of Italian charm. The service is friendly and courteous, and you feel like you are on a culinary trip to Italy. For anyone who appreciates real, handmade pasta and the genuine taste of Italy, this restaurant is an absolute must. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent Italian food cooked by real Italians. Good quality and fair prices.

A wonderful shop in Cologne's Südstadt! Beautiful lighting and furnishings, comfortable chairs inside and out and of course great food with consistent quality. A dream for every summer evening and beyond 🤩

The pasta workshop offers great food with perfect quality and fresh pasta. The service is also top. Absolutely recommended!

Recommended for a long time. Now with a new unnecessarily bloated module menu and unfortunately disappointing. Various pasta dishes are basically designed as basics. Everything possible is offered as a paid topping. You can do it. But that even the parmesan is considered an extra and has to be ordered for a fee?! So please. The service was loveless, the food is like that. Very unfortunate. I used to enjoy being here. Now I'd rather take my stars somewhere else.

Really a great place to go, we walked out of here very happy as always. Great quality of food!

The food there was very tasty and was one of the best I have ever eaten. I can only warmly recommend the spaghetti carbonara. The service was also very nice. Especially the student and waiter Laurin likes to come here again and again.

Best fresh pasta and salad in Cologne!

I love the tagliatelle with lemon cream sauce. Very friendly service!! Always my pleasure

The food really tastes like it was prepared by an Italian nonna. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating and reads your wishes from your lips. I would come here again at any time and can highly recommend a visit :)

If you really want to eat good pasta, then the pasta workshop is most likely your first choice. We didn't have to wait long and the food was very tasty. It is advisable to reserve.

Best handmade noodles! Incomparably delicious!

I've already given the pasta workshop a chance three times because I've only heard good things. But it's just not worth going there. 70% of the staff are unfriendly and mostly stay at “friends” tables, so there is mostly no service at all. The pasta was good though. These are my experiences from previous visits. Today was the highlight. We came to lunch. At first we weren't told about the existing lunch offer and we had to explicitly ask about it. After we ordered we waited 45 minutes for our pasta, even though there were hardly any tables occupied. Definitely not feasible for those who only have a short lunch break. And then the pasta tasted just average and wasn't even the pasta that was pictured on the menu (e.g. we ordered the charcoal Tagliatte Bolo-Red - was normal, and not a charcoal/black tagliatelle like pictured?!). Very very unfortunate…

Because of the very different reviews here, I was excited about the pasta workshop. I really liked the atmosphere. We were warmly welcomed. With our beautifully presented aperitif, we both received a bowl of peanuts. Great thing. Then there was some bread and olive oil. Unfortunately we couldn't try the fried gnocchi because the deep fryer was broken. We then ordered two pasta dishes, which we really enjoyed. Great noodles with a delicious sauce. Simply delicious - without a lot of frills. I don't need a huge plate with unnecessary decorations. Simple, simply delicious, a good portion at a fair price. We had a lovely evening in the pasta workshop, which I can really recommend.

Pleasant surprise. Very impressive Appetizer n homemade pasta - will visit again. V. Friendly staff n atmosphere.

Were not served after sitting for 5 minutes and then left... Absolutely not okay, at least bring a card when you are brought to the table. Unfortunately I can't say anything about the food.

Insanely delicious homemade pasta. ❤️
