Pizzeria Castello in Cochem

MEGA! Super delicious, generous portion sizes, lovely terrace, quiet location. It was hard to decide because the menu is so great. Daily specials are also available. Absolutely recommended. Don't go to the shops on the promenade, go here instead.

Highly recommended and well attended. Reservations are recommended.

Very nice Italian restaurant, extensive menu, friendly and attentive service, everything was good, we reserved the table in advance

Highly recommended. Friendly service in a lovely atmosphere.

Beautiful restaurant with a very nice interior! Friendly and smooth service. We had a delicious meal at a very correct price. Highly recommended.

The ambiance and location were very nice. We got a table right away in a very busy restaurant, and the food arrived promptly. The portion sizes were generous for the price, while the drink prices were a bit excessive. The quality of the food was good, but the taste was only average; the pizza had too many toppings, which meant the flavor was a bit drowning.

Very tasty food (and quick, too). The prosciutto pizza and No. 53 (pasta 😅 Fungi Gamberetti) are definitely recommended. The service was also excellent. And the prices were absolutely reasonable. I can't say much about the ambiance inside; we sat on the terrace. But it was covered with transparent "tarpaulins" and pleasantly warm. If we come back to the area on our next vacation, we'll eat here again. 😃

Very good Italian cuisine. The food is like being in Italy. A bit off the promenade, but definitely worth the visit. Established in Cochem for decades, it's always a good idea to reserve a table in advance.

Food was decent nothing special. The location and atmosphere is pretty neat. Need reservation due to space constraints otherwise you get pushed out before finishing your meal.

Nice Italian restaurant in a wine cellar setting near the Reichsburg castle. We visited the establishment with a group of 30+ people. The staff were friendly and professional. Ordering was quick and easy, as was the preparation and delivery of the dishes, despite the large group. The food was overall very delicious, and the desserts, especially the homemade tiramisu, are highly recommended. The price is average for the offerings. The food is rated 4/5 only because, despite giving the pizza a 5/5 rating, I felt the tomato sauce lacked flavor.

Our host recommended it and it has a high review rating! My gut call after reading reviews prior to going said we should go somewhere else but we gave it a try! Unfortunately the food was bland and not prepared the usual way for Italian food. My husband got the tagliatelle with shrimp and mushrooms and although the pasta looked good the sauce wasn’t! The shrimp were tiny ! I got the lasagna and although the sauce tasted okay the hamburger was cooked separately and layered plain in between the pasta with nothing else! The hamburger was so boring and had not cooked in any type of sauce before being layered into the dish! I have never seen this anywhere! The salad was weird and had canned tasteless olives! Bottled water was €7 ! They would be better off to charge more for their meals and use some better ingredients! Service and atmosphere was good but the food was not good! Don’t waste your money! No pictures is always an indication of my experience! Not sure how this restaurant has such a high rating!

Top experience at Castello – highly recommended! We spontaneously walked into Castello without a reservation, and despite it being busy, we were immediately welcomed in a friendly manner and given a nice table downstairs. The service was quick and very attentive, and we immediately felt welcome. The pizzas were delicious – crispy base, fresh ingredients, prepared in a truly Italian way. For us, this is definitely a place to return to. Perhaps even the best pizzeria in the entire region. Highly recommended for anyone who loves real Italian flavors!

The service was good, but I sadly cannot in good conscience recommend it beyond that. The food was edible, not offensive, but also not at all interesting or tasty. We both regretted eating here. We went here because it was one of the highest rated in the town, but seemingly this town is just not a culinary destination.

After the good review, we visited the restaurant on foot during our visit to Cochem. It's a little outside the center, but still easily accessible. A large table was kindly put together for us - nice service. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was somewhat clouded: Although the restaurant was not very full, the waiters were noticeably rushed around the dining room, which created a restless and somewhat tense atmosphere. This unnecessary “quick, quick” took some of the comfort out of the visit. The food was quite good, the decor was tasteful. However, the price is not exactly cheap.

Edit: Feel free to read the answer(s) from the owner, then you might know what kind of host you are dealing with here. I've really never seen anything like that. My answer: The restaurant wasn't so full that they couldn't have noticed us. There were two women standing in the counter area who ignored us. We really don't have any great expectations and are happy to wait a while, but here there wasn't even the minimum level of service or friendliness. There is also zero ability to criticize here. Unfortunately our visit was rather disappointing. As soon as we arrived we had to stand in the entrance area for several minutes - no one paid us any attention, we honestly felt like we had been ordered and not picked up. Things didn't get any better at the table. It took over 10 minutes for anyone to even take our order. Drinks didn't come until 15 minutes later along with the food. We are really not demanding when it comes to service but we were treated like second class guests. The neighboring table, apparently acquaintances of the house, was constantly looked after - no one showed up after dinner. No request for more drinks, no interest in whether we might want something else. We only got the bill because we made intensive eye contact, even though the restaurant was already pretty empty at the time. It couldn't have been due to a lack of staff or stress. The food was okay, but definitely not something we would go back for. The ambience is nice, but it was also incredibly loud at first because we were sitting near the kitchen and a waitress was emptying and stacking used dishes right behind us. Our expectations were really higher because of the positive reviews. But when I read through the negative or critical reviews now, it seems like we weren't the only ones who had such an experience. The owner's answers to this are absolutely subterranean.

An absolute recommendation!! Very cozy atmosphere, friendly service and extremely delicious pasta!

Ate delicious pizzas Large pizzas for a good price Friendly service

The interior is really a 10. The restaurant is so atmospheric, very beautiful. The food also tastes good. We received a sandwich with homemade herb butter and pepper on the house. The prices of the food are very reasonable. Tip: reserve in advance. We read the reviews and saw that people indicated this. It was also necessary, because it was very busy (Tuesday).

You will feel welcome in this restaurant. The menu is varied and each dish is prepared with care...

We (indian family with my dautghter) went without reservation- and no questions asked - Exceptionally well looked after, remarkably fast service, and when it comes to taste - no one matches - wonderful pizza, aglio olio, and Casata - oh, what an amazing taste - I look forward to coming back soon. Thank you.. !!

Great food, exceptional atmosphere and friendly owners. Absolute recommendation!

The portion was a bit to small, but overall it was the best place where we've eaten during our stay in Cochem

Food the Italian way. Everything original including the wine. Gladly again!

Be sure to make a reservation. Excellent Italian food

We are thrilled!! The perfect setting for my birthday dinner, everything was perfect! ! We will definitely come back there the next time we visit Cochem!!

This restaurant is great! Nice service and fantastic food

Best pizza I've ever eaten. Top

Best pizza in Cochem. Located in a cellar with picturesque round vaults. Very good steak and delicious pasta dishes. But you should definitely reserve in advance.

The selection of dishes is diverse and tastes 10/10. Simply great. However, the knives were very blunt, which made cutting steak/pizza very difficult. And even though we had booked a table straight away for 5:30 p.m., we were only served after 40 minutes, or the drinks were asked for. It took another 20 minutes for the drinks to arrive. So I was there for an hour without even getting a drink. The food was okay considering the waiting time and, as mentioned above, great.

The food was good. Me and my family had pizza’s and I could see they were made with fresh ingredients. Also the pizza had a nice thin bottom and a crunchy crust. The only thing which could be a little bit better is the use of more flavors. My wife and sons pizza were a little on the bland side. Although we reserved a table for five people, we had to sit at a four person table and the fifth person had to sit awkwardly in the route the waiters take to serve. The service was good, but no came to check if everything was in order and when we were finished no one asked if we would like anything for dessert. Overall I rate this restaurant four out of dive stars and I’d skip all the other Italian restaurants closer to the town center.

Food tastes very good and is enough. It was a shame that despite having reserved a table, we had to wait 45 minutes for drinks at 30°C, after standing in front of the closed door for a longer period of time. However, there was a lot of activity. Priority was given to guests without reservations. After 1.5 hours the food arrived hot and delicious. The drinks were nice and cold. The knives should only be sharpened once because you could only pull the food apart. Unfortunately, the staff was a bit stressed and they scurried through the corridors with blinders on. For the bill we had to go to the checkout, where there wasn't even an eye contact or a thank you, feedback, etc. came. It's easy to live in the cellar. Thanks anyway for the delicious dishes.

Very good pizza! The price-performance is really great. Nice and courteous service. Gladly again!

Food was top notch in terms of taste and price!!! Unfortunately, we forgot a starter and they wanted to charge for it. Instead of compensation, they even asked the chef if he had made the salads... Ambience was good, it was like sitting in a cave :) but good

Delicious food. Cozy atmosphere and nice decor. Quite noisy, especially when there are larger groups inside. Service appealed to noisy groups to be quieter, which was great! Reservations are necessary.

Very friendly staff and good value for money for our delicious pizza.

We went there spontaneously on Friday evening, on the recommendation of the guesthouse owner. We hadn't made a reservation and they were able to offer us a table, but they said straight away that we only had 1 hour and 45 minutes. But that was completely okay for us. We order two pizzas and a bottle of wine. The rolls at the beginning with the dip were very tasty. The pizzas were very good in terms of dough and well seasoned overall. The mushrooms on my pizza tasted fresh. We were full and would eat there again at any time. Price performance was good. The wrong wine maybe a bit expensive but it was okay.

We had the pizza calzone and a lasagna. The pizza was okay, although a little weakly seasoned. Unfortunately, the lasagne was not as good, the minced meat was completely pale and tasteless. It probably wasn't fried or seasoned

Very nice atmosphere and delicious pizza!

We went to dinner with our friends after looking at the Google score but regretted it. The waiters were both very rude and were careless even though they knew there were children. Our order, which was just boiled pasta, came last without asking for any extras. When we questioned this, we were subjected to rude and rude behavior. It reminded us how important service is in a restaurant, as well as taste. I would never choose it again.

Amazing ambience, food, staff, prices, everything! We loved it here.

I had ordered a lasagna, but what was served was a disaster. Soft mushy pasta plates with a tomato soup!!! I also occasionally found chopped pieces and a little cheese on them too. After we complained that it was nowhere near a lasagna, the waitress (who was probably the boss) was very unreasonable and said: no one has complained yet! But the pizza was okay! What you can only hope for here is that the tip really goes where it belongs!!! To be honest, I have to say that I didn't have to pay for the lasagna. That was only fair.

We came with four adults without a reservation, and even though it was very busy we were assigned a table. The food came quickly and was very good. Very friendly and courteous service. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food and not expensive at all. Good wine. Reservations in advance are recommended

We visited the Castello on the recommendation of a nice woman from Cochem. We were kindly given a table without a reservation and were served excellently. We had a delicious meal in the very cozy vaulted cellar. Absolute recommendation! The red house wine was great.

The rooms are comfortable. The service was very friendly and quick, although we would have drunk more if people had come to us more often after eating. The food was fresh, the wait times were reasonable and the portions were plentiful. The ingredients and preparation are rather simple and solid, but still tasty. The prices are okay. Dessert is not on the menu and would not be offered.

Great food and drinks with friendly staff Best in cochem

Everything is just right here. Ambiance, food and service are simply top. Even though the restaurant was very full, the waiting time was very short. I haven't eaten so well in a long time. It makes sense to reserve in advance.

Pizza, pasta, some Italian meat dishes, something to suit every taste. Very friendly service, quick despite the restaurant being completely full. The restaurant is set up in a vaulted cellar and is nicely decorated, just as we have often experienced in Italy (Liguria, Abruzzo, Tuscany). The visit was a successful evening for us.

Poor quality of food. Brucetta soggy, tomatoes on the bread not pickled or seasoned Just bread with tomatoes, rocket and a few strips of parmesan... Spaghetti Carbonara with cream sauce although explicitly ordered without Spaghetti Carbonara tastes like nothing Tagliatelle Gambaretti also without taste Sauce in the noodles more like cream soup... Even the pizza was bad, tasteless and way too greasy Only the dough for the pizza and pizza rolls was okay Location without windows very stuffy air.

Beautiful castle and quite a climb to get there.

An absolute top address in Cochem. The atmosphere in the vaulted cellar is brilliant, the food is excellent and the service is friendly. That's how it should be and therefore a clear recommendation.

Very tasty food in a quaint restaurant. Even gluten-free pizza is on offer, even if it is not explicitly mentioned on the menu.

The food is simply great. Great ambience and nice service

We ordered ravioli with spinach in pesto sauce. The ravioli were so-so, but the sauce didn't work at all. We just poured lukewarm tomato sauce over the ravioli. We were hiking, were hungry and wanted good Italian food. The restaurant also had a good rating, but it didn't suit my taste at all. The pizza rolls were definitely from the day before. The service was okay, but the ambience in the basement building was very nice. All the seats were full too.

Well, what can I say, we were guided by the many positive reviews. In hindsight it was a mistake! The restaurant is beautifully decorated, no question, but the food was just ok... The staff, especially the slightly older man behind the counter, was so unfriendly! Despite the reservation, no one was interested in us at the beginning. You have to pay the bill at the counter, like at McDonald's... I'm disappointed, it was my birthday dinner...

A super nice restaurant. I've rarely eaten such delicious pizza. It was a dream. Very friendly staff, and the ambiance is simply fantastic.

The best pizza I have ever eaten in Germany! An incredibly good kitchen. 10 out of 5 stars. The house wine is a genuine southern Italian wine that lets you taste the soul of the region. The atmosphere in the vault is perfect. The service was absolutely top. The best restaurant in Cochem.

Nice people from the service to the chef, the food was amazing and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Very tasty pizza in a great atmosphere with friendly staff. Reservation in advance is an advantage.

Best mussels I've ever eaten. Top service, fair prices, all ingredients fresh The salads are particularly recommended I'd love to come back🙌😄

The food was delicious and the atmosphere in the cellar was very cozy. Definitely worth recommending!

Super nice staff, delicious food, great atmosphere!!! Only to be recommended!!!

Difficult to find a good restaurant in Cochem. Castello is one. We had a delicious meal, fresh products, friendly service and a delicious Moselle wine.

Bij binnenkomst mega chaotisch en veel wachtende mensen dus we waren op het ergste voorbereid.. Maar echt het viel mee, werden na even wachten vriendelijk naar een leuk tafeltje begeleid. Onze 2 kleine hondjes mochten mee en daar werd zeer goed rekening mee gehouden en kregen een tafeltje in de hoek zodat ze er rustig bij konden zitten (in de buggy). Vriendelijk personeel, lekkere wijn, heerlijk brood met smeersel, garnalen vooraf, mijn man de pasta carbonnara en ik vlees met gorgonzolasaus als hoofd en als toetje de tiramisu. Allemaal zeer goed klaar gemaakt en smakelijk. Hondjes kregen bij vertrek zelfs een lekker hondenkoekje van de eigenaar. Ons is het zeer goed bevallen, geen slechte ervaring.

An Italian pizzeria, very good quality food. Ambience is perfect and cozy. Make a reservation in advance as this pizzeria is very busy. I'm already looking forward to the next visit.

Fantastic ambience, super friendly and professional staff and the food is divine 😍😍🤤

All 5 stars 🤩 without words. Best pizza 🍕 in a long time. Service was super friendly and very quick despite the fact that the restaurant was full. Thanks If we are in the area again we will definitely come back.

It's really cozy here in the vaulted cellar. Food excellent and service good.

For people who like Italian food

Good food, good service - what more could you want? We'd love to come back

Very tasty pizza eaten in a very cozy atmosphere.

Super delicious pizza and pasta!

Excellent food, friendly staff. Highly recommended

Very good restaurant. The pizza tasted fantastic. Highly recommended.

Unique restaurant, when you eat, you feel not in Germany but in Italy. Very good and friendly service. I can pass up pizza, I come every Monday just for pizza

A great restaurant in the middle of many tourist traps in town. We were there in the off-season when this restaurant was one of the few open. Food was great, relatively cheap (compared to others in town) and came quickly. The selection of regional wine was also great. Beforehand there were fresh pizza rolls with tomato butter on the house. The ambience of a cellar vault was well implemented.

I was in Cochem with my husband for a few days and had dinner there on the first evening. Everyone was very friendly, the food was so delicious, highly recommended. A very cozy, familiar Italian restaurant.

We enjoyed eating here and everyone was thrilled. Everything is perfect here - ambience, competent and friendly service and, above all, delicious, freshly prepared food! We particularly like pasta - homemade and al dente. Also important - the kitchen is clean, professionally equipped and professionals are working (the door was open briefly) Keep it up

Wonderful atmosphere with authentic Italian food. Very happy again. Maybe the waitress at the counter should make sure that guests can see her when she chews gum so unappetizingly.

Short and sweet but from the heart: great atmosphere, very nice staff and absolutely great cuisine. Four of us girls went out for dinner and made reservations for the next evening on our first visit. No matter whether pizza, steak, mussels or pasta dish: mega authentic cuisine and very tasty! We felt very welcome! If we're in Cochem again, we'll definitely visit the Castello! Absolute recommendation!! It makes sense to reserve a table, as it is understandably very busy.

Very nice restaurant. Good service and the food was very good.

Best pizzeria in Cochem in a nice atmosphere. In summer you can also sit outside there.

Very tasty food, although the young waiter still needs some training in friendliness. Here you go, bon appetit or whether it was tasty, he didn't know. Waitress and boss very friendly.

Fantastic food. Nice atmosphere inside!

Great atmosphere and the pizzas were also very tasty

Great restaurant! We went twice because the first time was so good. Delicious food, nice staff and good atmosphere.

Rarely, or rather never eaten so well, I can only recommend it. The staff is just great, thank you very much.

Very nice atmosphere in the vaulted cellar. Food selection and quality really good! Reservation is highly recommended otherwise it will be difficult to get a table.

During my visit to Restaurant Castello in Cochem I was pleasantly surprised. The interior is truly unique; it feels like you're entering a cave. This makes the atmosphere not only cozy and romantic, but also very attractive. The service was excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly. It felt like they really paid attention to detail and their guests. The food was also of high quality. I opted for a salmon pizza, something I had never tried before, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The salmon was fresh, the base perfectly crispy, and the combination of flavors was surprisingly delicious. If you are in Cochem, I definitely recommend Restaurant Castello. It is an experience that is a pleasure for both the eyes and the taste buds!

An Italian in a prime location in beautiful Cochem on the Moselle. The ambience, the taste, the smells from the kitchen make your Italian heart beat faster. I would be happy to come back. Your Gundaharius

The food and the service was excellent, the prices are really good as well, definitely the best restaurant in the town. Book table in advance

A beautiful Italian restaurant a little out of the way. It's worth a visit here. The ambience is wonderful, Italian flair, great, very friendly, attentive staff. The food simply without words. 👍. One of the best restaurants in Cochem. We have reserved another Risch for tomorrow

The food wasn't bad, but I can't say it was good. It didn't surprise me at all. The price was good, but the quality was lacking. The atmosphere, on the other hand, was very nice and pleasant.

Nice atmosphere in the wine cellar, attentive and friendly staff and super delicious food

First of all, on the positive side, the atmosphere in the wine cellar is very nice and the prices are okay. Unfortunately, the food was very bland and we all had to add a lot of salt at the table. We also didn't find the service to be friendly.

Almost the only restaurant in Cochem open after 8:30 p.m. Very friendly and fast service. There were 8 of us 😅. A fairly extensive menu.

A fantastic place. Cozy, a sea of ​​lights, you feel comfortable as a guest and well looked after 🫶

Went for dinner at Castello on Boxing Day, the service was friendly, we paid close attention to whether anyone wanted to order anything, nice/cosy atmosphere and the food was 👌 highly recommended!

An absolute pleasure. Sit comfortably in the vaulted cellar and receive individual advice. We are already thinking about the next time we will be there for dinner.

Nice restaurant in a wine cellar atmosphere. Service and the boss were very friendly and attentive. First of all, there was pizza bread with tomato butter as a greeting from the kitchen. For the main course we had 2 delicious pizzas, the base was nice and crispy and the amount of toppings was just right. Definitely a recommendation when visiting Cochem.
