PURiNO Gelsenkirchen in Gelsenkirchen

One of our regulars for a spontaneous and relaxed evening. Always delicious and cozy.

Very child-friendly, great service, and delicious food, definitely recommended!

Great, tasty food, large portions. Good and friendly service. A very nice and cozy place. Reasonably priced for the overall great package.

Thank you so much for the super-fast service, it tasted delicious again. Best, Tolga Can

Very friendly staff, delicious food and a lovely atmosphere.

Incredible service. Great, super-friendly staff who always have a smile on their faces, no matter how busy things are. And the food?! A dream. Always freshly prepared and everything made in-house. Whether it's pasta or bread. And you can taste it! Simply an incredibly great shop where children are also welcome!!! 12 out of 10 points 😊

If I could give more, I would First-class service

Very friendly and attentive service

Everything was great! The service was super friendly and understanding despite the children playing, and the food was delicious :)

EDIT: STILL GREAT! Very child-friendly, delicious food, friendly waitresses Note: I can't judge whether the male waitresses are also friendly, as we were served by two lovely ladies 😉 but definitely. We'll definitely go back and see for ourselves 😅

Very nice atmosphere and really friendly, patient service. We received excellent advice and would happily return again.👍

Finally, real Italian cuisine again, tastes fresh and super delicious 😋 and a remarkable menu for families with children 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

We went there for the first time and were absolutely thrilled! Great service, lovely atmosphere, and really good food!

Very friendly staff and excellent food. I had pizza. But friends' pasta was also great. Definitely recommend it 👍🏽😉

Very nice ambiance, located right on the Gelsenkirchen harbor. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Nine of us were there, the food arrived surprisingly quickly, and the prices are really fair. Definitely recommend it!

Pizza Berlino simply delicious, crispy and juicy as you wish

You're surprised... Full marks in all areas, yet only a total of 3... If everything is basically great, but your colleague accidentally (of course) gets a whole jar of spices poured down her neck by the waitress, ... Then I expect more than an apology and an offer to cover the cleaning costs ☝️ if you can't clean it yourself. At least a drink, dessert, or generously, a voucher for the next visit. But nothing!!! That's indecent. I think so!!!

Beautiful Italian restaurant right on the harbor. In the summer, you can sit outside by the water. So far, I've only had pasta, but it was very good. One thing that really deserves special mention here is the children's play area. It's rarely seen in restaurants, but it's a life-changer. We all know that children are impatient and don't like waiting. This is a great way for them to pass the time, absolutely fantastic 👍🏼

Beautiful location right on the marina. The food is decent, but rather standard. The service is constantly changing, making it a bit inattentive, but always friendly. Parking is either on the street or for a fee, which is quite expensive.

This is a beautiful, dreamy place, it's a bit like being on vacation, just switching off :)

I was at Purino Gelsenkirchen on 14.9 and the pasta was fantastic I can only recommend it especially the Al pollo

I always enjoy coming here; the food is delicious. But it's often extremely loud, and I sometimes find it difficult to sit comfortably together.

They were sold out of an iced tea. The wait for the bill was 20 minutes. We went there because they have gluten-free options and it's right by the harbor.

We were a group of five visiting Gelsenkirchen and received very friendly and helpful service. The food arrived quickly and tasted delicious. The frutti di mare pasta was very generously loaded with seafood, red onions, and cherry tomatoes. The portions were more than generous, and we were all satisfied. I highly recommend this restaurant!

We were immediately welcomed in a friendly manner and were offered various dishes which is recommended and very friendly staff the food was great

A very nice restaurant, generous portions, and incredibly delicious. Very attentive service. A thoroughly enjoyable evening. The location is a bit out of the way, but it's in a quiet and beautiful setting.

Beautifully decorated And incredibly friendly staff The ravioli I ordered was a bit too al dente, though. I should have complained, as my stomach wasn't feeling so well that evening ;((

The location and ambiance are great, the food tastes good (8/10), and the staff is very friendly. Unfortunately, the food takes a long time, and you feel ignored. Better to have one or two well-trained employees than ten who seem insecure, are afraid of their eyes, and are already confused when you ask how long it will be or whether you can order.

Update August 2025 We strongly recommend checking your receipt for accuracy. We ordered a spirit and asked for it to be garnished with an ice cube and a small lemon slice. The small lemon slice was charged €1.50 each. This procedure is simply wonderful. We don't want to judge whether this is legitimate or not. Whether it's pure rip-off of the guests is within our power to judge. So, check your consumption! The manager didn't think it was necessary to investigate the matter after a complaint to the service. Although only four tables were occupied (including us), he chose to ignore us. Therefore, it's unnecessary to have a manager in the establishment who is just there. We'll gladly stay away in the future so as not to create any more work for the gentleman.

Everything was great, the acoustics were a bit loud but that's normal for such large rooms.

PURiNO Gelsenkirchen Review We visited PURiNO in Gelsenkirchen and were completely satisfied. The location right on the harbor is beautiful and creates a great atmosphere – especially on the terrace, you almost feel like you're on vacation. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was lively yet pleasant. The quality of the food was very good: fresh ingredients, delicious pizza, and appetizers. One small point that could be improved is the pasta dishes – they could be a bit more varied. Otherwise, everything was really great, and we felt very comfortable. In conclusion: A lovely restaurant with delicious food and a great atmosphere that we would happily recommend and will definitely visit again.

Great place! I always enjoy coming here. Excellent service, fantastic location, delicious food, and I highly recommend the apple passion fruit spritzer! Thank you for many wonderful evenings with you.

We spontaneously stopped by Purino on Wednesday and were very satisfied. The service was incredibly friendly, the food was good, and the drinks were perfect, too. We have nothing to complain about and will be back 😊

Purino has been my favorite place for years. Super friendly service, good food, and a lovely ambiance—both inside and out. As a guest, I always feel appreciated and simply love being there. A big thank you to the entire Purino team :-)

Sat outside waiting for 20 minutes, saw nobody of the staff. When a girl came to bring other people’s food, asked if we could order and ignored me and didn’t come back. We walked out.

Delicious food, nice decor, friendly and fast service

The food always tastes good. The staff is friendly, and the service is excellent. The noodles are homemade, and you can taste it. Thumbs up for the experience!

Four of us on a Saturday evening with a reservation. Bread and dips beforehand. Very appetizing and delicious. The main courses (pasta with beef fillet/pasta with scampi) weren't good. One dish was missing the white wine sauce, and the fillet dish was swimming in fat. The extremely friendly waiter reported the criticism to the kitchen and apparently received the response that white wine was expensive. What?! The pizzas were okay. The panna cotta was ancient and downright chunky instead of creamy. At this point, a shout-out to the management: you have a fantastic, motivated team! Create the conditions for them to serve their guests the way they would surely like to be served. Saving money is great, but please not at the expense of quality. Thanks again to the waiter! He was the highlight of the evening ❤️

Beautiful location, we had a delicious meal here. Terrace with a fantastic view of the marina 🛥😎

We had a pleasant stay yesterday, service was good, but I don't like the fact that people immediately address you informally.

It's truly a wonderful experience at Purino. The location right on the harbor is beautiful, and both the ambiance and the interior are appealing and cozy. The food, especially the pasta dishes, is a true delight. The staff is always friendly and accommodating, which makes the stay even more pleasant.

Very nice surroundings and good food. Unfortunately, the service was obviously understaffed and slightly overwhelmed. However, children up to 6 years old eat free.

Great food, super friendly and good value for money

Disappointing service – unfortunately no recommendation

Great food, great atmosphere! Incredibly good steaks!!!

The Purino is ideal for larger groups. The service was very good.

Unfortunately, this time was very disappointing! Extremely unfriendly service!! Pasta was overcooked, there was not enough sauce, and the food was poorly presented. Even on my return visit, the food didn't impress me. Pizza with only a few toppings and a very dry and much too wide crust... very long wait times. However, the service was very friendly this time. Next time we'll eat somewhere else and only have drinks outside here because of the lovely atmosphere by the harbor.

We discovered it by chance. We were very satisfied throughout. The food was unexpectedly delicious. I highly recommend it. Everything was top-notch!

Food poisoning after a bowl and very unfriendly staff. -10/10

Very nice. I always stop here on my bike. The ice cream is delicious, although I'm surprised it's always relatively empty.

The pizza dough is kneaded so well that I want to cover myself in flour and lie down on the table. The food is delicious, and the service is excellent. I'll be back.

We visited Purino for the first time today and were very impressed with the restaurant. Everything was perfect, the staff was super friendly, and the food was delicious. We'd love to come back if we're ever in the region again.

Delicious food and good service. Nice location on a marina.

We visited the restaurant for the first time, but unfortunately, our impressions were marred by a few details. The dishes were served in an unusual order – dessert first, followed by the main course, which was also served on a chipped plate. This unfortunately didn't leave a particularly thorough impression. The dishes were rather mediocre in terms of taste – nothing that made a special impression or would make you want to return. On the positive side, the friendly staff and the pleasant atmosphere are worth mentioning. The summer terrace would have been even more cozy with quiet, unobtrusive music in the background. Conclusion: A lovely place to sit and relax, but the culinary offerings clearly leave room for improvement.

Yes, for both indoor and outdoor use.

A few years ago, we were overlooked for two hours at Purino. We thought we'd give the place another chance. No luck. We were disappointed again. Things were quick this time, but: The first dish came out wrong. The pizza, however, was remade without any problems. Hence, 1 point. The second pasta dish was cooked far too long. The egg noodles were so mushy that they fell apart on the fork. The third ravioli dish was a disappointment in terms of taste. The ravioli was hard, and the filling tasted like a 5-. But given the prices, that was to be expected. We were served a dish with a broken plate. An absolute no-go. The waiter didn't come back after serving. It took 30 minutes for us to flag him down – and even then, it took another 5 minutes. Conclusion: we won't be back. We won't recommend the place either. Still, a nice location for Gelsenkirchen. That gets another point.

Saturday evening, the sun is shining, the place is busy but not packed, and the kitchen is completely overwhelmed. There are five of us, and the meals arrived over a period of 25 minutes. The first ones were long gone, then the last ones trickled in after 1.5 hours. The pasta was so al dente that it tasted bland and stuck to my teeth. The salmon was black on one side and was covered with a triple portion of Parmesan, even though I didn't order it because I don't like Parmesan. The pizza bases were so hard that they were almost impossible to cut. A fork would bend in the process. The restaurant manager was sympathetic, invited us all to dinner, and even gave us a meal voucher. We'll give Purino another chance. UPDATE 07/20/2025 Our last visit to Purino was a complete disaster – but this time around, things were about to change. The restaurant manager even recognized us and, together with a young employee, took extremely good care of us. The result: We were completely satisfied, had a lovely evening with delicious food, a pleasant atmosphere, and extremely attentive service. We'll be back soon... :-)

Great restaurant. Very good food. Very friendly staff. Unfortunately, parking is scarce. What a shame.

The food, in my case pasta with prawns, was very tasty. The pasta was not overcooked, just slightly al dente. The service was very friendly and unobtrusive.

Very good ice cream near the port

I rarely say it, but everything here was perfect! Food, service, view, everything! If we lived here, we'd definitely come more often.

Never again! The acoustics are overwhelming as soon as you enter the store – terribly loud and very uncomfortable. The ambiance is nonexistent, similar to a rest stop. Orders are slow. Starters are cleared away without question because the main course is coming. No requests for drinks. Half of the dessert was missing. The service was attentive, but completely overwhelmed, drinks forgotten, etc. When we asked about the poor service, we were told that an employee had simply gone home and she was now missing. The restrooms are abysmal! No soap, toilet paper all over the floor. McD's is almost more comfortable and cleaner in comparison. A shame. But definitely never again. Note: As compensation, we were given a round of drinks free of charge. At least something.

Food good, service good, ambience good but a bit noisy

Good food Great view of the harbor Always happy to go back

Unfortunately you have to wait up to 2 hours for your food

We made a reservation for 7 p.m. When we arrived on time, the waiter showed us to the table. My husband went to the waitress around 7:30 p.m. and told her we wanted to order. No one came by 8 p.m., and we left. We waited an hour for someone to at least bring us a menu and something to drink, but no one came.

We had a reservation and were seated as requested. The staff was very friendly and helpful. However, we waited an hour for our food, and overall, everything took a very long time. Out of 10 waiters, maybe two or three could take orders, which was very unfortunate, and we were constantly waiting. The ambiance and the location by the harbor were great.

Very unfriendly service! Even more unfriendly was the manager, or whoever he was. 🙄 The table was only wiped from right to left after 5 repeated requests... I had to add that the table was still not clean! Not pet-friendly!! They supposedly have a water bowl, but they don't know where the bowl is! The food was inedible and just slapped down! Wrong order, the pizza wasn't toppings as requested! I can't recommend it!!!

Table for 6 people very cramped, waiting time disproportionately long, food did not arrive at the same time.. Too bad, in the past already better experience at Purino

We were there on Friday, July 4, 2025, at 5:00 PM to have something delicious to eat before our concert at the Gelsenkirchen Amphitheater. After a rather sober welcome, we were able to choose a free table. After we were seated and were already surprised that several tables hadn't been cleared yet, we thought it would take a while today. After waiting 10 minutes, the waiter told us, "I'll be right over." After another 20 minutes of waiting, at least another waiter took our drinks. When the drinks finally arrived at our table after another 20 minutes, we immediately ordered our food from the waiter who had charmingly kept us waiting for over 40 minutes earlier. Another round of drinks was also ordered, and they arrived quite quickly along with the appetizers. Unfortunately, we then witnessed the waiter who had taken our first round of drinks greeting two or three groups of girls, who then, after we were still waiting for our main courses, received their food. We were simply forgotten by the kitchen. It was almost 7:00 PM by then!!! No food for two hours!!! After asking several times, we were told that our food was probably in the oven. We were really exhausted by this point because we wanted to go to the concert. The nice female waitress, who unfortunately can't do anything about her truly abysmal colleagues, then treated us to drinks "on the house." We only had to pay for the appetizers. We then left for the concert with half-empty stomachs. Actually, it's a nice place where we've been before, but they never see us again.

Delicious, authentic Italian cuisine. The staff is very attentive and friendly, despite being extremely busy. We had a lovely summer evening at Purino, with delicious food and cool drinks.

Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. We waited over an hour for our food – and when it finally arrived, it was wrong. The dishes were mixed up, and the service seemed overwhelmed. For a restaurant with this level of quality and price, this is simply unacceptable. We were looking forward to a pleasant evening, but we were disappointed. It's a shame – we won't be back anytime soon.

The restaurant's ambiance is truly beautiful and attractively designed – unfortunately, that was the only positive aspect of our visit. The noodles were mixed up, my friend's dish came without cutlery, and she had to wait until I got mine. Only after we pointed this out to the server was her plate taken away. The food arrived much too late. The noodles were hard and bland. A no-go for the price. When we wanted to pay, we had to wait an additional 30 minutes. The waiters seemed completely overwhelmed. Overall, unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it – it looks great, but the service and quality of the food disappointed us.

Pizza with a view of the harbor. Highly recommended. The pizza is very large and the toppings are plentiful. Good value for money. The staff is friendly and helpful. The house limos are also very pleasant and delicious in the summer.

Like a day's holiday with a special offer for parents with children.

We celebrated our son's baptism at Purino. From the beginning of the ceremony to the end, everything was perfect. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. The on-site organization was excellent. We were able to customize everything (including the decorations) the way we wanted. The food was delicious and arrived quickly, whether it was pasta or pizza. Many thanks also to Philipp for his great support and planning. We will definitely recommend the restaurant!

"Very disappointing – wait time was far too long." We ate at this restaurant and had to wait a full hour and 20 minutes for our food – with no prior notice or apology from the staff. This is completely unreasonable for a restaurant, especially when there was no obvious reason, such as a full house. The service was inattentive, and unfortunately, it seemed as if we had simply been forgotten. The long wait overshadowed the entire experience – we will definitely not be returning and unfortunately cannot recommend the restaurant.

The food is very tasty, although not Michelin-starred, which of course isn't what you'd expect here. All the meals arrived at the same time (14 people), were hot, and all very tasty. The ambiance is recommended for groups as well as families. Personally, I wouldn't eat here as a couple, as it's not exclusive enough. Nevertheless, I absolutely recommend it.

Unfortunately, we didn't like it at all. Neither the pizza nor the pasta dish. There are far better restaurants in Gelsenkirchen for the same price-performance ratio.

We were there for the first time on June 21, 2025, and we were absolutely thrilled. The ambiance, not just the Stölting Harbor, but also the restaurant's interior and large outdoor area are very attractively designed. Everything is freshly prepared there, and the kitchen, counter, and ingredients are all open to view. The service was very friendly and open. Drinks came quickly, and sugar-free sodas were also available. The selection of appetizers was also good; we had creams with freshly baked bread, which were refilled. A very extensive menu, everything your heart desires. I had a bowl with cauliflower risotto and chicken. My husband had homemade ravioli with truffles. To finish, we had an espresso, which was also hot, although unfortunately, we've often only gotten lukewarm ones at other restaurants. Completely satisfied, and we'll definitely go again. It's best to make a reservation, otherwise they might be fully booked. 10 stars 🌟

I went there for the first time today, and it was great. The location is cozy. The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. The waitress was also very nice.

We visited this place for the second time, and I have to say it’s a restaurant with fantastic food. Today I had the Strisce di manzo — it was absolutely amazing. We also had the Pollo e sesamo salad, which was equally delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful — we highly recommend this place. In my opinion, it’s the best restaurant in Gelsenkirchen at the moment.

Purino, a service desert. We were there for dinner. The waiter greeted us with the words "I'm fed up" and rested his head on our table while taking our order. The drinks were brought and served with his hand on the glass, refreshingly. I wanted to take the leftovers of my (very delicious) meal to go. When I asked for them to be packed, the waiter (a different one from the first one) threw all the cutlery next to the leftovers on my plate, and THE USED NAPKIN ON TOP OF IT! I wouldn't have been surprised if he had packed it too. The waiter (who had greeted us so warmly at the beginning) was meanwhile leisurely eating a popsicle while collecting the menus from the tables, then wiped his hands on his pants and took the money. When we went to pay, we started chatting. In addition to making completely inappropriate remarks about our appearance, he casually mentioned that he also sells vapes. The restrooms are so dirty that you'd think twice about waiting; hygiene has never been seen in this place. It still gets two stars for the really good quality of the food and drinks, and the restaurant's location is also top-notch! We'll definitely give the other restaurants at Gelsenkirchen Harbor a try next time we visit; this restaurant is a prime example of how poor service can ruin the overall experience – regardless of the shortage of skilled workers.

A very nice and delicious restaurant. The food is excellent, as is the ambiance. Located by the harbor, it's nice outside even in summer. There's even free Wi-Fi, since there's really no reception inside.

Very nice, super friendly and very tasty

Great location and super delicious food. There was absolutely nothing to complain about; in fact, it was perfect all around.

We waited 20 minutes for our drink orders to be taken, then another 10 for our food orders. After a total of an hour, we were finally able to eat. The food itself and the location were okay/good, but the extreme wait ruined everything.

The Purino is beautifully situated by the harbor and makes a modern, inviting impression. We sat inside. The dining room is bright, spacious, and also well-suited for families. A particularly positive aspect: children up to six years old eat free. This isn't something to be taken for granted, and we, as a family, greatly appreciate it. The service was friendly, a bit haphazard at times, but attentive and warm. No reason to complain. The menu offers a wide selection of pizzas, pastas, and salads. The flavors are solid and freshly prepared, but some of them feel a bit like convenience food. Still, it's perfectly fine for a casual family meal. The prices are fair and the atmosphere pleasant. Not a culinary gem, but a reliable place for a relaxed restaurant visit with children. Conclusion: Decent Italian cuisine with a strong family appeal. If you simply want good food without demanding great refinement, this is the place to go.

This was my second time at Purino in Gelsenkirchen, and I have to admit, I didn't really like it. I ordered pasta with chicken breast strips and curry. It was a mere five small chicken breast strips. The fusilli was overcooked and covered in excessive curry. The panna cota for dessert was a complete sugar bomb; you could feel nothing but sugar in your mouth. I also noticed that only young people work there, which isn't a bad thing. But especially in the restaurant industry and in the kitchen, it would be a good idea to hire a few experienced people.

Very delicious food. You can have different toppings on the pizza and share it. I think that's great. Nice atmosphere and super friendly service. We had a very nice evening. We'll definitely come back.

A great place to meet up with friends or family. Delicious food awaits guests in a pleasant atmosphere. The service is very attentive and super friendly. Highly recommended.

There are also nice places in Gelsenkirchen, and the GE Hafen is one of them. The price is a bit expensive, but still fair. (Cappuccino + a VERY good vegan pasta = €20). They also offer oils for seasoning your own dishes. The food here is really good. A very relaxed atmosphere. It's worth stopping by :)

We went there yesterday for the first and unfortunately last time. Our group consisted of seven people, and everyone who had pizza was disappointed. Yes, it's a lovely ambiance right on the harbor. The interior is also beautifully done, but also a bit worn. In my opinion, the food isn't worth the price, and unfortunately, for Italian food, it's only worth one star. The pizzas, at most, had their own dough, but everything else was just cheap toppings. We know a better Italian restaurant in Gelsenkirchen that we've been going to for years. The service is super friendly, but unfortunately, when we complained about the pizza not tasting good, they responded with just one. I'll happily pass it on 🤔

We were there with a group of 30 people. We waited an hour for drinks. Five appetizers were forgotten. The service was friendly, but we had to wait quite a while to pay. Not recommended.

Lovely restaurant, beautifully situated by the small harbor. Delicious pizza, well-filled, and fresh. A great menu and wine list. Friendly staff. We'll definitely be back.

Disastrous service, an hour-long wait for drinks, 32 people (who had pre-ordered) and several appetizers were forgotten. The waiters didn't know who had ordered what. Even after several complaints, no one was available to take care of the situation.

We went out to dinner with friends. We really enjoyed the food. We'd love to come back.

It was our first time there as a couple and we can only say it was simply perfect. We'll be back!

Great service, and also very dog ​​and child friendly!

Great restaurant, good food, very good price-performance ratio, friendly staff, we always like to go there
