Ristorante Costa Smeralda in Traben-Trarbach

Well, you don't get the impression that a negative review leads to anything here. I can only agree with all the previous one-star reviews: as a guest you feel "annoying". I've actually never been served so disinterestedly in a restaurant. And it is completely incomprehensible: The location: TOP! The view: GREAT! The food: GOOD! But the employees: ABSOLUTELY UNDERGROUND!!! No, you really can't recommend this to ANYONE. It's a shame about the good food. Addendum in 2024: It's so ridiculous to respond with a standard answer after more than 2 years... ....that just underlines your attitude towards all the bad reviews: You don't care at all!

Very tasty pizza and pasta dishes. Very nice staff!

Stopped by here by chance on Monday afternoon. Not much in the town is open on Mondays so we stopped here. It was almost empty at 2 p.m. Pizza and pasta tasted good. We're looking forward to having something delicious to eat with you next week 😉

We were here in April and wanted to eat something, but our feeling of not doing so was confirmed. The other guests who were served their food all looked dissatisfied and the neighboring table even gave the food back. Luckily we stayed with a coffee that didn't taste good and left the restaurant after politely asking three times for the bill. Conclusion: Not recommended! *** Addendum 11 years later *** Thank you for your late response to my review that I wrote 11 years ago. It is interesting to see that AI is now being used to respond to reviews. However, this also shows that responding to customer feedback was probably less important to you back then. Perhaps it would be worth considering using AI not only for standardized answers, but also in the area of ​​customer service or process optimization. In this way, you could actively contribute to actually increasing customer satisfaction instead of reacting to it a decade later. I wish you much success in further improving the quality of your offering!

The food was simply subpar and so was the service.

Flowery name for an extremely mediocre pizzeria. Quite uncoordinated staff, orders are forgotten or take over 1 hour. (2 pizzas, and it wasn't that crowded.) Unfortunately very taciturn waiters. You feel very unwelcome...as if you're somehow a nuisance... Addendum 2024: a response to the review has just been posted. After 4 (!) years. Four years!!!!! Oh man.......

Ate fine pizza and salad. Sat outside on the covered terrace. Thank God because it started to rain. The restaurant was later packed. I can't say whether that's always the case or whether it's because of the rain. I was there again when the weather was nice. Lots of activity there too. With luck we found a place and the pizza was delicious 😀.

Very disappointed. We ordered food and didn't have everything on it, despite the lack of people.

Price performance fits. Friendly staff. Food very good...

Excellent work by the waiter, Italian speaking Spanish to please the table.

If you like traditional pizza this is the ideal place in Traben.

We waited 3/4 hour for two salads even though the restaurant wasn't well attended. The salads consisted mostly of green lettuce, a tomato and a few slices of cucumber. The turkey strips were cold. The dressing consisted of a dash of balsamic vinegar.

Picked up pizzas. Good pizza, everything made in-house. From a real wood oven. Due to the crowds on Friday evenings, there sometimes seems to be less attention for customers. However, the contact is friendly, pizzas were ready quickly, well cooked, well topped. There is a kind of 'living room atmosphere' in the restaurant. So slightly less tightly organized than in many other restaurants. All in all great experience.

There were 6 of us and we had lunch there. This pizzeria is not recommended! The restaurant was very dirty. We ordered 3x cola, an apple spritzer, an iced tea and a non-alcoholic wheat, 3 pizzas and 2 pasta dishes. The apple spritzer tasted watery, the cola tasted bland, the iced tea was watery, the pasta dish with 4 types of cheese wasn't a pasta dish with 4 cheeses, but only with pure cream sauce, the possible cheese didn't pull any strings, the pizza parma was actually covered in plastic wrap. When we complained about the "Parma" pizza because it contained plastic wrap, the waiter apologized and brought us the ham to show us that it was wrapped in plastic wrap. He didn't accommodate us in any way and apologized succinctly, even several times. Then someone knocked over a jar of salad oil at the next table. The service staff succinctly "cleaned" the floor, the innkeeper slipped several times, no one came up with the idea of ​​cleaning the floor, so there was no risk of slipping. The women's washrooms were not clean or hygienic, the water on 2 of 3 taps was running and could not be turned off. When it came to billing, I had to argue with the waiter about only paying for half of the pizza with plastic wrap because I didn't want to eat it anymore. Pieces of plastic film kept appearing in the Pizza Parma. In the end I had to ask him that I only pay for half of the pizza, which he did unwillingly and in cash after paying by card, so that literally "the boss doesn't cause any stress".!!! We will not enter this pizzeria again!!!!

Hier met vrienden prima pizza’s op het terras gegeten en van het uitzicht genoten. Bediening was prima. En dat alles voor een nette prijs.

Our food was definitely not seasoned! The noodles were a mess. Once and never again!

€4.50 for coffee with no taste and unfriendly service. AVOID!!

We ordered food to take away. There was supposed to be a Frutti di Mare, where we were at home we noticed that instead of the Frutti di Mare a pizza salami was packed and of course the Frutti di Mare was charged at €15.

Beautiful place to eat, especially to avoid the downpour outside. My soup was just right for a damp day. Husband's salad with tuna was oversized but he finished it.

Die vielen negativen Bewertungen über den Service kann ich nicht teilen, der war nämlich sehr aufmerksam. Auch das Essen war gut, es gab nichts zu beanstanden, auch keinen Gestank.

Wir sind durch Zufall in diesem Resteraunt gelandet, da das Resteraunt in dem wir essen wollten voll war und wir nach einer alternative suchen mussten. Leider waren wir auf voller Linie enttäuscht. Wir hatten als Vorspeise Knoblauchbrot und als Hauptspeisen eine Pizza und ein Jägerschnitzel. Schon auf die Vorspeise mussten wir ca. 20 Minuten warten. Das Knoblauchbrot war ok, aber nicht überragend. Auf die Hauptspeisen haben wir dann nochmals weitere 30 Minuten gewartet, so dass wir drauf und dran waren zu gehen. Als das Essen dann kam waren wir sehr enttäuscht. Den Pommes hat man angesehen, dass sie nochmal frittiert wurden und die Jägersoße sah wirklich unappetitlich aus. Um den Beilagensalat flogen bereits Fruchtfliegen herum. Absolut nicht den sehr hohen Preis von 20€ Wert, die es gekostet hat . Die Pizza sah gut aus, jedoch war der Teig kaum gesalzen, so dass auch hier leider die Enttäuschung überwog.

nice staff, terrace, food was good Prices are ok. I just wished that the salami slices hadn't just been half slices.

People avoid this store.!!! The boss is very unfriendly to his customers and that is still said gently. There are many better options in the area.

Pizza was very tasty and the staff was extremely nice.

Dit is in orde. Een goed terras. Een goede middagpizza van de chef. Snelle bediening. Echte houtoven. Maar naar de staat van de toiletten mag je niet teveel zien

Schöner Ausblick auf die Mosel. Leider wird unter der Terrasse der Müll gesammelt. Stinkt sehr, daher überhaupt nicht zu empfehlen.

We asked if we could use the toilet and were kindly let in by the waiter. But then Bossf really hit on me, really bad! I was willing to pay too! He yelled at us and demanded to pay. 1 euro each. And didn't even say that the toilet around the corner is obviously free. Absolutely rude and unfriendly...

Prima pizza. Fijn buiten zitten. Houtoven voor pizza. Fijne sfeer. Vlotte bediening. Met mijn broer heerlijk gegeten

Absolute no-go Waited an hour for the pizza. Was forgotten. No excuse! No free drink for the long wait. When the pizza finally came, it was doughy. No excuse. Rather unfriendly service. This is not how you treat your guests. Not recommended

Ich war mit meiner Schwester im Moselurlaub. Der Service war mehr als freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir waren öfter dort und haben verschiedene Gerichte ausprobiert. Alles war echt gut und sehr lecker. Immer sauber und schneller, aufmerksamer Service! Der Blick von der sehr großen Terrasse ist einfach nur schön. Wenn ich wieder in der Gegend bin werde ich bestimmt wieder dort einkehren.

Die Pizza war okay. Die Pasta war nicht besonders gut. Der Service war grauenhaft. Das Personal war sehr unfreundlich und nicht sehr motiviert. Das Restaurant ist nicht zu empfehlen.

Food was very tasty and good portions, except the schnitzel was very small for over €20. There was a lot going on, which is why the waitresses were sometimes a bit lazy. Unfortunately, we once found a hair in the food, got the wrong dish once and then the main course came before the starters, which was all sorted out after a short communication problem. Despite everything, really very friendly.

Delicious stone oven baked pizzas. Highly recommended...

The pizzas were really tasty from the wood-fired oven. The staff was a bit corny, but the service was otherwise fine. the lasagna was also very good!

This is the worst ice cream we've ever eaten. The cream was out of a can and the order didn't come in one.

We ordered a pizza, which was very tasty, but unfortunately very thinly topped. Despite several ingredients, we saw more tomato sauce than anything else. After an initial language barrier, things became relaxed and the waiter turned out to be very amusing. The ambience with a view of the Moselle was pure relaxation after a long hike. That's why we give it four stars.

Eten is redelijk, maar de bediening ongeïnteresseerd en onbeschoft. Hoewel we bij het bestellen van de pizza aangegeven hadden dat we deze wilden delen, werd er uiteindelijk toch moeilijk gedaan over een tweede bord en onaangekondigd extra kosten berekend.

The restaurant has plenty of seating and a beautiful terrace with a view of the Moselle. The food was very tasty and came quite quickly even if all the seats were occupied. Staff was friendly and attentive. All around a nice Italian restaurant.

Unfortunately very unfriendly service. Shouting among staff in front of customers. The cards were thrown onto the table without a word. But the Aperol was delicious.

Atm is from restaurant and calculates 6 euro cost without notice.

Unfortunately, this restaurant cannot be recommended in any way - in other words: find another place in Trarbach.

A great location in itself. The two service staff were...rather annoyed. True to the motto: Tourists again. You sometimes make a living from it. Have you thought about it? The food was ok. The canneloni after half cooled down as much as the atmosphere. It's a shame actually. The toilet was the worst for me. No towel paper and the motor on the electric hand dryer was hanging out. Plus the many exposed cables. Sorry. Nogo. And then the payment. There was no bill! 2 x 13.50 plus 10 gives 37.50. That's why there was only a small tip. My conclusion: A restaurant in this location basically has an easy time generating sales. You just have to want it. And that starts with friendly service.

SCAMMERS!!, at least that restaurant where you have to take a high staircase to the terrace. I ordered a beer and a water, all in all about €8.00. I wanted to pay when leaving, but that was only possible in cash. I didn't have any cash with me. They pointed out to me a handwritten note on the door, which I had not really seen, stating that payment under € 20.00 could only be paid in cash. I had no cash, and an offer to split it, so I pay €10.00 was not accepted. She even threatened the police, and the waiter became aggressive. I didn't feel like dealing with anything so I paid €20.00 by card, of course under protest. SCAMMERS!!!!!!!

Can only support the reviews regarding TK-Pizza's assumption. We had the same assumption and the price and taste are absolutely not a highlight. Nice view from the terrace but I wouldn't dine here again...

Normally no star, children's portions and a lot of money are worth it

Food not as described on the menu. Glasses dirty, service disaster.

Go there every year. Apparently the owner has changed. The pizza was terrible, which had bad consequences for both of us. In addition, the pizza was not topped like on the menu. Pizza was completely tasteless. Some frozen pizza is better. Service also left a lot to be desired. Glasses contaminated with lipstick. We were there last time. It would be nice to know where the predecessor is now.

Unfortunately the only pizzeria in the area. If you don't have an oven, you'll probably have to get the ready-made pizza here for €10 and up.

Pizzeriastuk med helt okej mat. Absolut inget utöver det vanliga. Perfekt uteservering med utsikt över Mosel. Bra service!

Very nice staff. Very good food. We were on the terrace with a view of the Moselle. It was a very pleasant stay.

Not special, but not bad food either, more like 3-4 stars, but since most people give 1 or 5 stars… staff friendly and nice view. Just a lot of complainers giving one star because of a tiny mistake.

Floors dirty, toilets dirty, something broken everywhere (e.g. radiator thermostats stuck with adhesive tape, open cables on the wall) Coffee was only lukewarm. Luckily I didn't eat anything here...

The pizza wasn't super bad, but not really good either. Tasted like frozen pizza only too expensive. We wouldn't order food there again.

Pizza tastes good, cappuccino for €4.50 is a disappointment for an Italian restaurant.

Very good pizza, spaghetti with seafood was also good, prices okay, restaurant but nothing special.

Food is delicious and tastes good. We had 2 x starters, 1x pasta, 1x salad, 2 balls of ice cream with cream and. Sauce. 2x Cola, 1 gr. Dark beer with Cola and 1x water. 62 euros On the terrace you have a beautiful view of the Moselle.

Great value for money. We go there regularly and can only highly recommend the food, ambience and service. Great team, great location, great food!

The service was fast, but probably too fast.. The calzone I ordered was all raw and after returning it and asking for something else they were clearly upset and tried to throw it back in the oven. However, I was already disgusted and requested spaghetti since it’s something easy and hard to mess up; well they decided to give me a kids portion. They left the charge on the bill for the calzone and wouldn’t remove it. I gave it two stars 1 for the view and 1 for the beer. Won’t return.

Unfortunately, the bruschetta was too salty, even though I'm someone who often adds salt. Operating staff worked more in assembly line mode. No cordiality. Chairs hurt your back in the long run. Otherwise beautifully located with the terrace facing the Moselle

Delicious food, beautiful view! Toilets can be more hygienic.

Excellent pasta. Incompetent service for low attendance

We have been here several times and tried different dishes. The pizzas were all perfect. Our little one always orders a margarita pizza from pizzerias. You can often actually use these to estimate how good the rest of the pizzas will be. Normally there's no higher praise than "it was good" or "it wasn't so good" - here he told the waiter that it was the best margarita pizza he'd ever had. As we all know, children's mouths tell the truth - so much for that :-) Pasta and casserole dishes were different, but always at least well made. We were always treated very warmly by the waiter. Absolutely likeable restaurant with a great view, which also makes up for the not 100% attractive interior design.

Looking for a chair on the terras. Waiter very unpolite towards my grandchildren following us. Just walked out ANGRY without eating or drinking. Disgusting behavior of the waiter. Below all level and lack of respect.

We had a salad, very bad idea, the salad all watery and just thrown at the plate together with the other stuff and balsamico over it, finished. 15€ for such a plate is ridiculous! It even looked not tasty! Even the bread with it was to pay for it.

Always worth a motorcycle tour, keep it up

Beautiful terrace with a view over the Mosel. Pizza from a wood fire, with good taste and base.

Better not Waited far too long for food Sand on the pizza (hidden in unwashed arugula) The waiter wasn't particularly interested

Pizza served after 1 hour of waiting, pasta served to the next table by mistake that they wanted to give back to us even though the table had already started eating it

Location on Google Maps is incorrect, many reviews are for the panorama restaurant and not for this pizzeria. This pizza place is great and not expensive. Oh yeah, Kawasaki > Ducati🤪

Gute Pizza aus dem Steinofen. Die Preise sind angemessen. Die Atmosphäre könnte noch etwas besser sein. Im hinteren Bereich hat man einen schönen Blick auf die Mosel.

Very good oven pizza. Nice service. 👍🙂

We ate delicious pizzas and the service was also very friendly.

Went for dinner today. The pizza (from the wood-fired oven!) tastes sensational here, as do the pasta dishes. Very friendly and courteous service. Always my pleasure. It's a shame that you can "only" give 5 stars. We can only recommend it.

Super tasty lasagna, pizza with a crispy base and fruity tomato sauce and delicious fresh salad. Fast and very nice service and new owners (!!) who are doing a lot of things better. What more do you want.... We'd love to come back. :-)

Super delicious food, very friendly service, nice, rustic atmosphere. We'd love to come back.

Waiter was very friendly and accommodating. Yes, the atmosphere is a bit old, but the ingredients for our three pizzas were all fresh and plentiful.

I was served the worst pizza of my life here today. Burnt from below, the (vegetable) topping tasted like: nothing! The espresso on the house offered as compensation was almost cold. Not recommended! Any price is too expensive for this dinner!

Excellent service starred dishes you must try it!

Great food, great service, always happy

Ordered 2 pizzas to take away yesterday, prepared quickly and very tasty... good dough and very well topped...

Very friendly and good pizza. The salad was also good and especially the Aperol Spritz and Campari Spritz. Thanks!!

Very tasty food! We had bruscetta and pizza and we really enjoyed it! The staff was super friendly! No long waiting times! The only thing that needs to be checked more often is the toilets.

When it comes to food, 5 stars would be absolutely justified! The pizzas were very tasty, from the wood oven, the ingredients were of good quality! The service was also good. I didn't expect a waiter in a suit and as long as he or she is nice and offers me good service, the rest doesn't matter to me. The ambience is actually not the nicest and is more reminiscent of an old ice cream parlor.

3 people.. Pizza and spaghetti with meat sauce, nothing to our taste. In need of renovation.

Very enthusiastic about the food and the friendliness!

very tasty food and friendly service

Sehr freundliches Personal und gutes Essen. z.T. Moselblick

Sehr zuvorkommende Mitarbeiter und richtig leckeres Essen

Nett, freundlich und schmecken tut es auch moch

Sehr freundliches Personal, Leckeres Essen, schöne Aussicht.

Wir sind eher zufällig in das Restaurant gestolpert und haben den Besuch nicht bereut. Super Pizza und Pasta. Zur Pizza ist zu sagen, dass man in Italien nicht überladen belegt, UNS gefällt das, so hat man mehr vom Teig und der Soße. Ambiente leider ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen. Preis/Leistung auf jeden Fall gegeben, sollten wir mal wieder in die Region kommen ist ein Besuch sicher.

Sehr schöne Aussicht auf die Mosel. Leckeres Essen und tolle Bedienung. Super Preis Leistungsverhältnis. 😍 😍

Sehr gut. Der Pizzabäcker Massimo backt hervorragende Pizzen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Leider habe ich eine Ölflasche umgeworfen und sie ist am Boden zerbrochen. Das war eine große Schweinerei, nochmals vielmals Entschuldigung. Wir waren sehr zufrieden.

Waren in der ersten Advent Woche in Traben Trabach, haben gedacht geben da mal eine Chance wegen der Tafel Holzofen und Original Italienische Küche,wurden aber echt enttäuscht 😞 😞 Zutaten waren frisch keine Frage aber Ambiente total abgerockt ,Sitzbezüge mit Löcher usw.Kellner in Freizeit Kleidung und geschmacklich ist da sehr viel Luft nach oben, Sorry aber tut mir leid ,sollte man nicht unbedingt hingehen,aber jeder hat sein eigenen Geschmack...hatten Salat und Pizza ,für ein Holzofen viel mehr erwartet.......schade...

Wir waren gestern auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt in Traben Trabach. Highlight des Abends war der Besuch in diesem Restaurant. Das Essen außerordentlich lecker, die Bewirtung außergewöhnlich gut und als itüpfelchen die wunderschöne Aussicht auf die Mosel. Vielen Dank für den wunderschönen Abend. Wir kommen wieder.

Sehr gute Pizzen und Pastagerichte, außerordentlich freundliche und zuvorkommende Chefin und Personal.Wurden immer über den Stand unserer Bestellung informiert. Lokal mit toller Aussicht auf den Fluß und das andere Ufer. Kommen gerne wieder.

Wir waren heute in traben Trarbach Das Restaurant ist echt eine klasse für sich!! In der ganzen Region wird versprochen italienisch aber dieses Restaurant ist zu 100% italienisch 3,1 Sterne kann ich beim besten Willen nicht verstehen ich war jetzt 3 mal in Italien und liebe das Essen dort weil es anders schmeckt als bei uns eben original Pizza und diese ist eine original Pizza jedes Stück ist ein Genuss!!!! Nirgends wo ich bis jetzt in Deutschland gegessen habe habe ich solch eine Pizza solch eine bruscetta oder solche Nudeln gegessen einen riesen Respekt an den Küchenchef wir kommen wieder!!!!

Nice Italian restaurant with views of the Mosel River. We went for lunch and our table of 6 was greeted right away with quick drink service. The whole front and part of the ceiling is all glass offering views of the river and a brighter atmosphere on a cloudy day. They also have an outdoor terrace that’s open during the warmer months. The indoor seating area had a vintage ocean restaurant vibe. We had lasagna, pizzas, and pastas. The rigatoni bolognese was hearty and delicious. Espresso and Apple strudel with cream and ice cream was a perfect end to the meal. They also had salads and steaks on their menu. The food came out fairly quickly, especially since there was so many tables to serve.

Niet slecht maar ook niet lekker. Wel één verwaarloosd pand en interieur.

Die Pizzen werden hier noch auf einem Steinofen gebacken. Sehr lecker. Auch die Nudelgerichte sind zu empfehlen. Jeden Tag ( kein Ruhetag) von 11.30 bis 22 Uhr geöffnet. Also wer mal Mittags Hunger bekommt, nichts wie hin. Zur Weihnachtszeit (in Traben-Trarbach gibt es einen besonderen Weihnachtsmarkt in einem sehr grossen Weinkeller / also unter der Erde) einen Tisch reservieren. Der Inhaber ist super nett.
