Ristorante Peperoncino in Leverkusen

Disappointing visit to Ristorante Peperoncino in Hitdorf! Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with my visit to Ristorante Peperoncino today. We went there specifically for the pizza special – Thursdays are known to be Pizza Day. Before we ordered our pizzas, we asked the waitress – twice – whether all pizzas would cost €11.90 today. We specifically asked if the "Pizza Bianca Asparagus" from the daily menu, which was normally priced at €22.90, was also included in the special. Her answer was a resounding "yes" both times. When we later received the bill, we were quite surprised: This very pizza was charged €22.90 – not the agreed-upon €11.90. When we asked the waitress about it, she suddenly didn't want to hear anything more. Her excuse was: "I forgot!" She then called in a colleague – whose behavior was unfortunately even more rude. When we explained the situation to him, he reacted condescendingly and almost mocked our complaint. His only response: "What am I supposed to do now? This isn't my place – should I pay you for this out of my own pocket?" Such disrespectful treatment of guests is absolutely unacceptable. No consideration, no understanding. The almost €7 tip (10%) is very annoying afterward! Very disappointing! In 2025, good service should have been a given long ago. Ristorante Peperoncino definitely has a lot of catching up to do and has a lot to learn.

The visit to Peperonchino was excellent, from the beautiful ambiance upstairs to the great playlist in the background. The food was delicious and the service very friendly and attentive. Definitely a recommendation.

We'll be happy to come back. The spaghetti carbonara was amazing 🤩

On sunny evenings, the upper floor with its view of the Rhine is a dream. The food and service are top-notch. We'll be back!

Very pleasant atmosphere, great service! Highly recommended!

I was with you on my birthday with my family and had a nice place upstairs, which is of course great. A nice atmosphere is half the battle, and if the food is also that good, it's perfect - and that's how it was with you. Thank you for a lovely, delicious evening.

Didn't get a table despite booking. Waiter very unfriendly. Never again

Very nice service. Food certainly very good for pasta and pizza, high quality dishes not quite as good

Really enjoyed my meal here. The food was delicious, portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. The terrace is a great spot when the weather’s nice, calm and relaxing. Definitely a place I’d come back to!

We became aware of the restaurant through the voucher book. We were totally thrilled. Very friendly staff and a quiet, full atmosphere. But the best thing was the food. We would be happy to come by again.

It's always nice to sit under the glass dome on the first floor and enjoy the view of the Rhine while eating. The pasta and other dishes are very good and tasty. I don't find the pizza that convincing, the dough is always a bit tough and the toppings are a bit thin. I know that better. All in all, worth a visit.

Very good food with friendly service in a very pleasant environment

It's lovely to sit up in the inn. A good view when the weather is great

Everyone was very happy with both the food and the service

Very tasty, top service. Gladly again

Very nice cozy restaurant. Great view of the Rhine. Totally lovely staff. Pasta is recommended!

Very tasty food, nice atmosphere, nice service, highly recommended!

Nice restaurant right on the Rhine

Very tasty food! Sat upstairs in the winter garden with a very nice atmosphere.

Totally nice service, great food and drinks

Nice atmosphere and very great service.

Very nice, cozy atmosphere, great varied menu, very tasty food, bruschetta was a bit dry (not enough olive oil), but also delicious and the pasta was great!! Service was very good and Peperoncino is definitely a recommendation!!!

Our visit to Peperoncino was definitely worth it! From the tasty food to the service, everything was great! Above all, Nikola's service convinced us and gave us a comfortable feeling! This wasn't our last visit!

The two of us ate at Peperoncino today. The service was very pleasant and friendly. The food was served very quickly and was really delicious. The ambience and the direct view of the Rhine made our evening even more beautiful! We'd love to come back ☺️.

Very tasty food, large portions. The mixed starter can be easily shared. Attentive service and great views in the winter garden.

Beautiful view, very tasty food, very nice service. An all around great restaurant.

Very relaxed atmosphere and super delicious food! I'd love to come by again!

Very good food with a beautiful view

Very good Italian restaurant! Had pasta dishes and pizza - very good! Great view of the Rhine!

Everything was very tasty, appetizer plate, rose and pizza. Staff very friendly. Top spot in front of the restaurant in the best weather

Once again we had a lovely evening at Pep. The food was very good as always, the service was always on point. I really enjoy being here and would love to come back again and again.

Very tasty and really nice waiters.

Nice waiter and super good Italian cuisine!

The food was super tasty. Price performance is great. The service is very attentive. Highly recommended.

Delicious food, staff were nice, come often and always delicious

Food is always great! Service is always super nice and we go here often 👌

Very tasty pizza and friendly service. Highly recommended.

very tasty food and friendly staff recommended 👍🏼

very high quality and delicious food ✅

It was very tasty, super nice staff. Gambas all you can eat can only be recommended! The chef came out several times to make sure everyone was happy. Would come again and again.

The restaurant impresses with its great location directly on the Rhine - perfect for a visit when the weather is good. The service was also very friendly and attentive, which we would like to emphasize positively. Unfortunately the food couldn't quite keep up. The pizza was quite oily and quickly became soggy once it cooled down a bit. The portion of spaghetti was quite small, but unfortunately the taste was average. In our opinion, the price-performance ratio is not entirely consistent. We also found it a bit irritating that there were prepared appetizer plates on several unoccupied tables - throughout our entire stay. This left a slightly unloving impression, especially since we were sitting outside and it was particularly noticeable there.

To be honest, we expected a little more from the ambience. The restaurant benefits primarily from its beautiful location directly on the Rhine. The service was consistently friendly and attentive – we liked that. Unfortunately, the dishes didn't really impress us from a culinary point of view: the pizza was quite oily or watery and lost significantly in quality as soon as it cooled down a bit. The portion of spaghetti was rather small and the taste of the dish was unspectacular. Overall, we would have expected more for the prices quoted. We also found it a bit strange that prepared appetizer plates were standing on several unoccupied tables throughout our entire stay - even though there were no guests sitting there. That seemed a bit careless, especially since we were seated outside and it was particularly noticeable there.

We really enjoyed the evening and were served by an extremely friendly waiter. The food tasted excellent. We'll be back! THANKS!

Very tasty calzone - highly recommended. The service is extremely attentive, friendly and quick!

On the second visit there were light and shadows. The service was good, although not very warm. The Prosecco ordered as an aperitif lacked a bit of freshness. The starter bread that was shared was sparingly sized. The main courses (Dorodenfilet and Surf&Turf)) were good and tasty. The meat was cooked perfectly, even though no one asked how it should be. With the scampies (3 pieces), I would have liked two more. The final espressos with tiramisu and - on the initiative of the house as a gift - with chocolate cake allowed us to end the evening satisfied with the rest of the tasty rosé from the day's menu. Next time we'll probably choose pasta and/or pizza. They looked very tasty on the next tables and don't cost too much money. The deduction in the ambience was for the seat next to the music box in the admittedly great window seat.

Very tasty, good service and a nice atmosphere.

Nice view of the Rhine. The pizzas are bigger than the plate and very tasty.

Great food and great location ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended 👍🏾

It's worth a visit here, and not just because of the delicious food! The ambience is great, the pizza was really good and Nicola rounded off the experience perfectly with his service. Absolutely clear recommendation! We'll be back 🫡

Great service and delicious food!

Top service! Top food! Recommend without reservation.

Spaghetti Carbonara came without eggs, which I don't know and I didn't like it. I found the 70 minute wait for the food to be too long. Pizza was very good, the staff was very friendly. Overall it was a bit too loud and restless.

The food is very good, the staff is friendly, clean and you are always full.

Reserved a table for Saturday a few days ago. When we got there there wasn't a single table available. For the first time I was put off that someone would come soon. Then the lady comes and the only question was when we made the reservation! Shame because we had a reservation confirmation. Other guests felt the same way. Not even an apology or an attempt to find a table. A NO GO!

Gourmet block...great recommendation. We sat at the top with a wonderful view over the Rhine to Langel. Food is good and plentiful. The service was friendly and accommodating. In summer you can also sit outside. The drive there (26km) was worth it. Would love to come back.

We ate here for the first time today for my birthday. The ambience, the staff and the food were really excellent. Depending on which table you get, you also have a beautiful view of the Rhine. All in all, a great recommendation. We'd love to come back.

Super delicious food and great service—we'd love to come back! And not to forget—a beautiful view of the Rhine :-)

Mega store! Great service, brilliant location with a view of the Rhine and an excellent price-performance ratio! Be sure to go up so you can have a view of the Rhine. We'll be back!

Today we ate at peperoncino for the first time and we decided on the lunch menu! Staff is nice and friendly. The food was very good, the soup was perfect, unfortunately the main course was very poor, we only had 4 pieces of poultry on the plate, it wasn't really enough to fill us up, we had the feeling that regular customers got a lot more, otherwise the taste was very good. Maybe we were just unlucky 😏

We go out to eat relatively often... including pizza. We felt very well looked after here. Delicious, great restaurant, very nice waiter and the overall package was great. The only drawback: there was hardly any parking space due to a construction site opposite... but that won't last forever.

I've cycled past outside opening hours so many times - today it worked 👈 It was worth it, delicious food, friendly team, we'll be back!

I love restaurants by the water and when everything fits together, I'm thrilled! Rarely have I had such a good tomato sauce. I will come again.

Super delicious food and great service! We'd love to come back!

A wonderful evening that I was able to spend here! Totally nice service. Who guided you through the menu unobtrusively and incredibly politely. An evening I would like to spend more often. Absolute recommendation!!!

Despite the high volume, service was very committed and frequent. Food was very tasty. Always my pleasure

Beautiful ambience, delicious food and the service - a lot of love! We'd love to come back... Greetings from Schleswig

Very nice view, with delicious food and very friendly and courteous service. Always happy to come back :)

A very nice restaurant right on the Rhine invited us to linger for a long time in a quiet, idyllic atmosphere. At dessert we were treated to unusual art and more than just standard fare. We will definitely come back and can only recommend a visit here!

It's a shame that a construction site opposite is irritating the view of the river. When it got crowded, I found the volume to be very high. But I would like to highlight the food, the ambience and the friendly service, as well as the good parking spaces. A very harmonious price-performance ratio and worth a short trip.

Very good food and friendly staf!

Nice evening, thank you very much.

Great ambience, very friendly service and the food is simply fantastic! We'll definitely be back!

Great service, very tasty food, nice cozy atmosphere with a view of the Rhine.

Great place with amazing view on the Rhine, that we just missed because it had become too dark. Personnel was very friendly and the food was delicious. I very much enjoyed the live piano play during the dinner. That was just that extra touch to the atmosphere. Will probably try this again during the day.

Everything is perfect here, the food is delicious and the service is very attentive and friendly. We will certainly come back.

Really good food in a nice atmosphere. What I didn't like at all on my last visit was the topic of tipping. When paying by card, you are given the card reader in your hand and can choose a tip directly there. The screen is divided into four large buttons (10%, 15%, 20% and 25%). Very small and hard to hit with your finger, there is a message at the bottom of the screen that says “no tip” and “enter your own value”. There's really nothing wrong with tipping, which can be 10-20% if the service is good, but this way is a real no-go for me.

Delicious food and very nice service!! Plus nice view of the Rhine :) A feel-good atmosphere including a fireplace. Would love to come more often.

Wonderful restaurant with fantastic service. The meal was also delicious and ended with a great cappuccino.

Very friendly staff, fast service, very tasty food, the tartufo was great!! The ambience upstairs was great, we would like to come back again when it is a little brighter in the evening and you can enjoy the view of the Rhine!!

Very tasty and very positive appearance from the staff! :) we'll be back, best regards

The Ristorante Peperoncino is located in Leverkusen Hitdorf. Despite the location on the Rhine, there are enough parking spaces here. The food was very good, the service was nice.

Gamba's day. Every Wednesday. Highly recommended. Toni did a very good job. All you can eat.

Fantastic food, very nice staff!

Great food at a great price, with friendly service :)

Very nice atmosphere with a view of the Rhine. The pizza is extremely good both in terms of the sauce and the consistency. The Vitello Tonnato was sliced ​​very thinly or also tasted very good. However, there was a little too little sauce.

The carbonara was simply divine, heavenly…unique. The best I've ever eaten! Is Valentine's Day already today?😍😍😍

Incredibly delicious, great and relaxed staff.

Everything is great. Good food, nice location and friendly staff

Great varied menu Paccheri with gamba, cherry tomatoes and baby spinach very tasty

A super nice, entertaining evening with great food and great service.. We'll be back!

Delicious food, nice staff, great ambience ❤️

Super delicious food, great crew! Acoustics are a bit loud. But we had a great evening with live music and a good atmosphere

Great food, live music and wonderful view.

A wonderful evening, great food and a very good atmosphere!!!

A very nice evening spent in a great atmosphere, very good food and super friendly and friendly service as well as live music and dancing. We'd love to come back. Highly recommended 😉🙋‍♀️
