Piccola L'Originale in Köln

I honestly love this place—we’ve been coming here forever. The vibe is great, the food can be amazing. But I’m seriously fed up with the Luna Rosa pizza. It’s never the same. One time it’s missing stuff, next time it’s got random new toppings, or everything’s just tossed on like nobody cared. I’ve said something before, but nothing changes. It feels lazy. And it’s sad, because this used to be our favorite spot.

The three of us ate here, the pizza was very tasty and we were treated nicely ☺️ Note only cash or PayPal possible

I know every pizza in Wiesbaden and I couldn't improve anything here. Really people. It's delicious. Are you in the mood for pizza? This is the pizza you want. Recommendation for real mundane people: garlic wild garlic oil 💖 hmmmm it's delicious. Have you not understood it yet? I'll say it again: delicious, delicious!

Love the pizza here. Whenever I am in Cologne, I enjoy pizza or pasta. Last time, I had lasagna and it was also delicious. Lunch menu is an in budget option where you can get water / mineral water, salad and pizza or pasta. It is around 10.99€

Great shop & great atmosphere. Perhaps one less table would do the shop some good, as it's already quite cramped ✌🏼

I've been coming to the Piccola Originale for 18 years and I'm always fascinated how perfectly delicious their pizza is. Sonia and her team welcome everyone warmly and make their small restaurant a very cozy dining room. In summer their outside tables on the Venloer Str put you in the middle of the Ehrenfeld life.

And everything tasted good! The atmosphere is great, you can have a good chat.

I ate a really delicious pizza in this pizzeria today. The Pinola pizza with goat cheese, honey, pine nuts, Parma ham and rocket. It was a dream. In addition, a very nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. I'm thrilled. Keep it up. I'll definitely come back when I'm in Cologne again.

Noodles are super tasty and a good portion! Pizza also good. My favorite Italian in Cologne 😍

Cozy, relaxed and very pleasant. On a short visit and happened by chance, stopped in and absolutely fit. Delicious food too, gladly again

Best shop, best boss, lovely staff, very friendly and always delicious We always look forward to seeing our boss and sister 👍👍👍

The best restaurant The staff is exceptional You can order your own requirements I go with love and am most satisfied the coolest restaurant in Cologne I recommend with all confidence👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝

Wonderful location ! Delicious eat and best Service ! I prefer the Pizza Luna Rossa and the 5 Terre pasta ! I don’t have no problem with my payment and the cook was very cute .

The unusual dishes on the highlight menu were a special taste experience!! Overall we had a wonderful stay. Always my pleasure.

Went here with work colleagues, ordered a lot of food and wine - but only cash payment was possible. The invoice that we need to submit expenses was only handed out after a tough discussion. An absolute no-go if you want to go out for something to eat in a larger group/business. Everyone can imagine why this is practiced this way.

Great children's corner, totally friendly staff. We came spontaneously and got a table of more than enough size for 7 people. Keep it up.

We came from Frankfurt, the service was simply unbelievably good, the food was very tasty and I would recommend it to everyone

Went there twice and were very impressed! Super nice service and delicious food! Happy to come back!!!

There were 5 of us. We enjoyed the food very much, so we would definitely recommend the restaurant. The ambience was very nice and there was also pleasant music playing.

We ate here for the first time today. We are thrilled. Will definitely come more often and will definitely recommend you to others.

Silvesterveranstaltung gebucht. Vom Essen kein Highlight erwartet, war somit o.k. Jedoch der Empfangstrunk war eine Zumutung. Eine stundenlange unverständliche Tombola ruinierte den Abend total. Alles in allem trotz nettem Publikum und Personal ein Reinfall.

GREAT PIZZERIA. FRIENDLY STAFF FAST SERVICE. VERY CHILD FRIENDLY. VERY GOOD DELIVERY SERVICE.

Very tasty, great atmosphere, it goes quite quickly. The service was friendly but also somehow a bit sober/reticent. What I thought was a shame that there was no oil or vinegar/oil with the bread. Definitely recommended overall.

When it's busy you can wait outside. The food is very nice. pizza pasta and risotto. Me and my husband are also chefs. everything is as it should be. I hope we see you again soon.

very cramped and small tables, but the service was very sweet! From the starters the best thing was bread, for free! My food was good but very heavy to be honest.

Pizza brandi...I can recommend it

We had made a reservation for a birthday, but our reservation was forgotten. The staff was very unfriendly. We should wait outside for 20 minutes, otherwise it would be our problem. Not again, ruined the mood.

We booked for a birthday a table at seven thirty and when we arrived there was not a table at all. they did not apologise and asked us to wait 20 mins outside in winter. The lady in charge is incompetent.

Unfortunately, we did not get to try the food due to the fact that the admin woman did not even bother to remember of our reservation. First, we did not get a table upon arrival despite a reservation. And that was only the start. We were told that there will soon be a table available, but we were six and the table was for max four people. After 5 minutes of waiting indoors, when the table was not seeming to free up, instead of making an effort to inform the people at the table, the admin woman asked us to wait outside because we are obstructing the way. When asked for how long, the answer was “I don’t know, maybe 10, maybe 20 minutes, not my problem”. It’s was 4 degrees outside. No apology, not even an acknowledgement that there is an issue with their own work organization. No effort to inform the people at the (reserved) table that they may need to leave soon. No any little gesture to soften the situation. If you book a table at this place, don’t expect to get it and be prepared for arrogant attitude as if it is your problem that they did not manage to make sure to consider your reservation. Would give ZERO STARS if there was such option. Though the food looked quite decent and the other staff members seemed to be nicer. The lady may consider repeating the basic 101 customer service course.

Cozy little restaurant, with a nice ambience a la viva l'Italia. Very tasty food with a changing menu. Thank you for the lovely evening 👍

Positive: If you don't know real Italian cuisine, you might be in good hands here. Disadvantage: However, if you appreciate them, you will unfortunately taste the inferior and over-seasoned ingredients, so that my actually very large appetite disappeared again while eating. Stars are only given for the nice ambience and the friendly service.

One of the best in town. Perfectly service

Very friendly service and very tasty and unusual pizza

Everything we have eaten so far pasta, pizza and starters has been very tasty. The service is very friendly and attentive. The only drawback is that it's a bit cramped and when it's full it gets very loud. I would recommend a reservation for the evening.

The pasta dish with chanterelles was disappointing. Boring cream sauce that could have been tastier, what a shame.

The offer on the window says: Gluten-free pizza. Unfortunately, if you order - there is no such pizza. You have to order in advance 🤪. Paying only in cash in 2024 is strange... but it's Germany.

Very nice restaurant, very good food and very nice and very nice waiters can only be recommended 🫶

Very cool atmosphere Enjoy your meal! Nice staff

Never got disappointed by Piccola (Original). Very good Italian, that I definitely added to my Dyli app for my friends to it in case they look for a reliable Italian! Be aware while pizza there is a very safe choice, lasagna or other pasta as well. The salad is a bit less “special” but I don’t usually go to italian restaurants for salad 😅

With all due respect, there were three of us eating and we have never been served so badly. A young woman who seemed like a boss was very unsympathetic. The pizzas were very hard and dry, and one of us was given the wrong drink and then we were asked if it was bad instead of replacing it. Unfortunately it is not what it once was. PS I've never seen caprese like this before

Nice shop, we really enjoyed the pizza. + very nice service 😉 would be happy to come back

Super nice atmosphere and very tasty. Only recommended

Very bad experience. Dinner with Italian friends, we came here to breathe a bit of Italy but the only thing we breathed was the rudeness and insolence of the owner. Never again. In Cologne it's much better

Extremely delicious Great service I would love to drive the 65 km back here to enjoy such a great meal.

Very friendly and nice service! The food was excellent! We would like to come again!

This restaurant seems to prioritize appearance over professionalism. When it comes to hygiene, there is much to be desired: the tables were sticky, the glass was dirty….. In terms of friendliness, the waitress was a bit rude to us until she discovered we also spoke Italian. The food was okay but could definitely be better. Overall, the combination of poor hygiene, initially unfriendly service, and average food leaves the impression that the restaurant values look over guest satisfaction.

Service inattentive, pizza very bland and interim billing - (bad for those who think evil, also only cash payment, tax office says hello) cannot be calculated apart...generally not a good result...

Super delicious food. The waitress/owner Josephine was particularly in a good mood and gave us great advice about food and drink. Everything was delicious 👌 Always happy 😀 See you next time

A beautiful, cozy restaurant with charm where you understand the craft and pamper your palate with lots of “AMORE”! The best fresh ingredients end up on the plate and the friendly service rounds off the visit. Gladly again.

Food was solid, but a bit expensive, service was nice. On the one hand it's a good location (central on Venloerstrasse) but on the other hand it's right on a busy street, so sitting outside isn't that comfortable. There are also tables, but in the summer you would of course want to sit outside!

PIZZA FOR 8 PM RESERVED UNTIL 10 PM BAD SERVICE DIRTY RESTAURANT

Super nice service. The food was good and the opportunity to watch the European Championships here was also great. The spaghetti was surprisingly prepared and my son devoured it to the last detail.

2024 and you can neither pay with a card nor get a glass of tap water when it's 30 degrees. We would have had another drink, but that's how we left. A pity.

Everything was fine, very good service, attentive staff and beautiful area ☺️🌸👍🏻

We come here very often and it is always delicious and beautiful

Food very tasty, but no card payment possible in 2024.

Really a nice little cozy restaurant, with very polite staff and delicious food. We go here for pizza and pasta more often now ☺️

Super tasty and nice! Favorite at the moment: Pizza Simpatica.

Very nice, warm service. The whole staff room always enjoys meeting here. :-)

The pizza is good!! A little expensive but definitely worth the price.

Very simple salad as a starter, could also be ready from Aldi. Pizza is actually okay, but there are better pizzas in Cologne for the price.

Everything great! Gladly again!

Mega delicious food and great service. Love it, definitely come back :) thank you 🙏

Mamma mia!! What power! As an Italian, it's always difficult to find something that meets your needs...just my shop! tanto amore e baci.. Frate peroni

Super nice and loving waitress who has a very friendly smile on her face. For that reason alone I was excited.

The employees are all very nice and you feel completely welcome

Great pizzaria. Food is top. Price-performance ratio is right

Excellent Italian restaurant! Everything was perfect – from the friendly service to the delicious dishes. Highly recommended!

Very tasty food and nice service :)

The best pizza in all of Cologne. Be always ♥️ We are treated well and are always happy to come here again. The Gorgonzola gratinated ones are amazing. I love this store 🙏

One of the best pizzas in all of Cologne and has been for over decades 🤤 And the girls are always just sweet to us 💜 So be careful, risk of addiction😅

We've been here once or twice a year so far. It's nice to sit outside on Venloer Str. Unfortunately, the two young male waitresses are not on their toes and inattentive, the girls are fitter, and the owner was very friendly. Pizzas have always been okay here, but too expensive for the average quality. Unfortunately, the Spaghetti Frutti di Mare was really not good, one of the worst I've ever eaten... The pasta was no longer al dente and was drowned in a very oily tomato sauce. The seafood consisted of squid rings, three tiny shrimp that you really had to look for and sticky crab meat. No clams, no mussels, no prawns, really disappointing for €18. Maybe we'll see each other again in the summer to drink Aperol and “people watch” on the Venloer, but not to eat.

Really great shop! Super nice staff and the food is outstanding, our new favorite Italian 😇

Great service, delicious food, I'll be back!!

Nur Bargeld - Rechnung erst nach zäher Diskussion - nie wieder! Essen war in Ordnung, aber nichts besonderes. Gibt genug bessere Alternativen in unmittelbarer Umgebung

The atmosphere is really chic and the relatively small restaurant is comfortably furnished. There's nothing to complain about when it comes to eating either. Unfortunately the service wasn't that good. Too chummy colloquialism, after the wrong food was served, there wasn't even an apology and the blame was dismissed. Cash payment only with the option of Paypal.

The best store the staff makes me feel like it's my store thank you

Everything is really delicious and very comfortable. Very friendly staff, we will definitely be back. grace

Pizza Bufalo ok, Pizza Truffle has a very intense taste.

Pizza was delicious, but prawns were really bad. Unfortunately, we were not informed that you can only pay in cash. Since we are not from Cologne we had to get expensive cash from the ATM. There wasn't even an espresso on the house...

The pizza was good but a bit dry. Cannelloni, on the other hand, was very good. The balsamic note in the salad was a bit too high. The young operator was very friendly and was able to fulfill all of our wishes. Overall it was a good experience.

Food was tasty, but not outstanding, service was very good, but picked up a dish incorrectly and then wanted to discuss who made the mistake...but her colleague was just great and saved it. Big room, not too loud, cozy, normal, nothing special. Overall, definitely recommended :)

The food and the dessert Were excellent. The pasta was homemade. High quality craftsmanship! The price-performance ratio was definitely appropriate. A cozy restaurant in a very well-kept condition with a top team and top-quality food. Highly recommended in Ehrenfeld! Perfect! Andreas Hoff

A must in Cologne - great food, good atmosphere. The whole package… like in Italy Grade 1++++

Delicious pizzas from the stone oven with fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly and helpful, the restaurant is stylishly decorated. The prices are not exactly cheap, but they are justified. We'd love to come back! Edit: We were here for the fourth/fifth and now sixth time and were not disappointed again! The pizzas and pasta are all fantastic! We look forward to your next visit!

Wir waren schon mehrmals in diesem Restaurant und sind jedes Mal begeistert von der herzlichen Atmosphäre, die dort herrscht. Die Familie, die das Lokal betreibt, heißt einen immer mit offenen Armen willkommen und erfüllt jeden Wunsch, den man hat. Das Essen ist einfach köstlich - die Pizza schmeckt unglaublich frisch und ist einfach hervorragend. Besonders positiv ist, dass sie auch laktosefreie Optionen anbieten, was nicht selbstverständlich ist. Die Auswahl ist groß und für jeden Geschmack ist etwas dabei. Ein besonderes Highlight ist, dass die Familie noch hinter den Tresen arbeitet und sich persönlich um die Gäste kümmert. Man fühlt sich wirklich wie zu Hause und wird immer herzlich empfangen. Wir können das Restaurant nur wärmstens empfehlen und werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

The best Italian in Cologne, the homemade pasta is incredibly delicious!

Great food and great service. We were all very happy and satisfied with the food. I had Spaghetti Vongole and was happy about the extra bowl for the mussel shells, as it's not a given in other restaurants. My friends had pizza and pasta Celentano. I'm looking forward to the next visit!

Super delicious Italian food, cozy atmosphere. The pizza is the absolute highlight.

There were 6 of us eating there and we had pre-booked a table. The seats had to be put together when we arrived and the tables were only cleaned upon request. However, we were compensated for this by good food and service.

I like going here, I like the atmosphere, although the food doesn't live up to the price here, especially the pizza but also the pasta. The service is nice, but sometimes a bit confusing. It's almost cheeky: you don't take a card and then ask for certain notes if you have a sum of almost €200. Guys, just get a card machine - the customers will thank you.

Italian Restaurant 100% Original and Halal Pizza Food venlOer Straße 216 Köln

Although I prefer neopolitan pizzas and they are baked more Roman style here, it was very tasty, but the garlic bread for the starter was particularly good. My friend also liked the pasta. Plus: friendly staff.

Die Bedienung hat im leeren Restaurant relativ unfreundlich zwei Frauen mit Kinderwagen weggeschickt, weil angeblich kein Platz da war. Auch sonst war die Bedienung (junger Mann) sehr unfreundlich. Das Essen war in Ordnung, aber absolut nichts besonderes.

Ein sehr gemütliches, kleines Restaurant mit Charme. Netter Service und gutes Essen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Wunderschön - und alle mega mega freundlich -

Das Essen war lecker, wir hatten auch eine sehr leckere Vorspeise,dazu wurde auch das Essen gleichzeitig für das Kind serviert, was sehr schön war, somit konnten wir alle das Essen in Ruhe genießen .Vielleicht wäre eine kleine Kinderkarte bzw Menü für Kinder super da kein Kind diese Portionen auf essen kann und es schade ist wäre es weg zu werfen

Ich habe eine Pizza Ruccola mit Büffelmozarella zum Mitnehmen bestellt. Normalerweise meine Lieblingspizza, aber die habe ich nicht aufgegessen. Ich habe gesehen wie der Bäcker noch Olivenöl über die Pizza geschüttet hat. Ansich geschmacklich ja bestimmt passend, aber es war so viel, dass der ganze Teig aufgeweicht war und die Pizza richtig getrieft hat. Zu allem Überfluss konnte ich nicht mal meinen Gutschein verwenden, da Piccola und Piccola L'Originale nicht zusammen gehören. Aber gut da können sie ja nichts für. Trotzdem gerade bei dem Preis von über 15€, war es das schlechteste Preis Leistungsverhältniss einer Pizza die ich jemals bisher hatte. (Ich habe zwar nicht dort gegessen, aber die Musik fand ich äusserst störend, sehr laut und ungemütlich - aber gut das ist auch Geschmackssache. Mich hätte es jedoch nicht zum dort Essen eingeladen.)

Delicious pizza and warm atmosphere

Stabiler Mittagstisch. Penne mit weißer Bolognese ist lecker. Super freundlicher Service.
