Ristorante Peperoncino in Leverkusen

I've been here several times and have never been disappointed. The food is great, the service is friendly without being intrusive and the location right on the Rhine is unbeatable. Live piano music is currently being played, which makes the upper floor a little louder but also nicer. Special requests, such as vegan alternatives, are also fulfilled reliably and very flexibly. I always enjoy coming here and am already looking forward to the next visit :)

Very good food, very nice and super good service. We sat upstairs with the pianist and fireplace. Always happy 😊

An amazing restaurant, calme, romantic, cozy, the food was just amazing, got the best pizza and pasta fruiti di mari ever

Great ambience, delicious food and always good service. A restaurant that you can easily recommend. We'll be back!

A great restaurant, food and service were top notch. We would be happy to come back

Food very very tasty. Service very very good. Ambience also very nice. 5 stars but well deserved, see you soon.

Very nice, cozy atmosphere. Staff very friendly.

It's loud upstairs when it's full. Otherwise everything was great.

Excellent food, super nice location with a view of the Rhine and really good service. If you want to eat deliciously and experience a culinary highlight, you have to go here! Highly recommended!👌🏼

Very friendly service. Nice location. Food tastes very tasty 😋

The food was delicious and we felt very well served. Definitely come back. Highly recommended restaurant.

Great pizza and pasta delicious

Very friendly service, great pizza 🍕 and delicious pasta dishes.

Nice restaurant, in a prime location. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly. Payment possible in cash and with VISA.

The food was very tasty, the portions are definitely more than enough, the staff is very friendly.

We always enjoy being there again. Nice ambience with outdoor area and glazed upper floor. The food and service are always very good. I like the events that take place there from time to time. Always my pleasure.

Amazing place. Going to come back many times❤️

Top restaurant, super tasty, price performance is ok. Gladly again

Wow, what an experience... The food was delicious for everyone... The room upstairs, with the glass roof and the beautiful furnishings, was perfect... and the fantastic view of the Rhine... Parking spaces directly opposite. .. Prices: completely okay, service very, very nice...highly recommended.

The food was excellent, as was the service and the wonderful view of the Rhine. We were there with 6 people and we were all very satisfied. Always my pleasure

Tische zu eng aneinander, dadurch Raum überfüllt! Zu laut ! Dazu Klavierspieler Lifes! Man konnte sein eigenes Wort nicht verstehen! Essen: die gebratenen Babykalamares waren zu durch , fast schon angebrannt, Roastbeef auf dem Antipati- Teller zäh und nicht genießbar! Wir haben die Enttäuschung gemeldet, Kellner wollte es weiterleiten, war mit dem sehr gefüllten Lokal ( davon 3 Gruppen) überfordert, aber blieb freundlich! Der einzige Pluspunkt! ...und dann mussten wir noch sehr lange auf auf Rechnung warten! Es waren über 20Min.!

Nothing more needs to be said here

Very friendly and attentive staff. We each had a starter and a main course. That was way too much. The pizza is very large and doesn't fit on the plate. But very tasty!!!

We ended up here by chance while passing through and had a surprisingly good meal. Nice place, nice view, great service, great pizza for my sons. But the best were the risotto and the lasagna, I hope to pass by here more often.

Nice little restaurant with very tasty food and very friendly staff. In addition, a very nice location directly on the Rhine. Price/performance very good. Absolutely recommended!! BHS

The food was super delicious 😋😋.

Nice location right on the Rhine, the pizza is big but nothing special.

Delicious food, very attentive service and an absolutely great location - right on the Hitdorf harbor with a view of the Rhine! We were particularly happy about the best original aioli, thank you Toni ;)! We look forward to the next time!

Cozy restaurant, attentive service, good selection of dishes and a very tasty tiramisu 😋

Good tasteful food after a long wait. Wrong time chosen as there was also a company there. The landlady compensated us for the waiting time with a Laguna 🍷. Hats off!! Otherwise recommended and always again. Oh, there is indoor and outdoor dining.7

Very nice staff and delicious food.

I ate there on Sunday July 28th. There were two of us without a reservation at around 7:20 p.m. First of all the food was 5/5 . Unfortunately the service here is very uncoordinated, we ordered drinks and food together. Then after about 5 minutes a plate came for the starter/these small breads. However, after almost 20 minutes we didn't receive any and neither did we receive any drinks After waiting another 10 minutes, we got the food and drinks together. They then apologized and said the note was deliberately covered under the glass tray so that it got lost. Our neighboring table simply received 3 dishes, even though only 2 were ordered. There was probably a lack of communication between each other here. When we went in to pay, we waited another 7 minutes after the food was ready, but no one came out. There were 4 cellars inside with cell phones in their lockers and 2 were washing glasses. It wasn't a lack of staff. I recommend that you digitize the order recording process so that this cannot happen

Been here three times now. Twice Noodles: Unusually good indeed. Pizza today: also very tasty. Clear recommendation.

The new tenant has brought a breath of fresh air. TOP food, TOP service, located directly on the Rhine. Unrecognizable from previous years.

I visited this small, chic restaurant for the first time and was very impressed by the outside. The winter garden on the roof was particularly a highlight. From there you have a wonderful view of the Rhine - even if the water level is currently low, the restaurant can't help that. There was live piano music playing the evening I was there. A big compliment to the artist, who really played excellently. But now to the essentials: the kitchen. The restaurant offers an authentic Italian menu and cuisine. Even the smell from the kitchen was seductive and immediately reminded me of my last vacation in Rome. The service was friendly and accommodating. When I asked for gluten-free pasta or pizza I was told no, but that wasn't a big problem. We didn't have to wait long and were free to choose our seat. We chose a spot on the balcony of the building. The menu was simple with starters, pizza, pasta and risotto as main courses. Typically Italian classics such as carpaccio, vitello tonnato, carbonara and lasagna were also represented. The first impression was entirely positive. The drinks menu wasn't overloaded either. There was a separate wine list as well as a simple selection of soft drinks and aperitifs. We ordered 2 Limoncello Spritz and a bottle of still water. My wish for a slice of lemon was granted, even if it was a lime - a citrus fruit after all. While we were studying the menu over our aperitif, we quickly found what we were looking for. As a starter we chose pizza bread and vitello tonnato – I can highly recommend both. For the main course we had orecchiette with porcini mushrooms, beef and truffles and paccheri with goat cheese. Both were a dream, authentic and excellent in taste. I can only recommend this restaurant. The prices are reasonable, the drinks are well chilled, the service is friendly and the location is great. There is parking right outside the door. All in all, a completely successful experience.

We were there this afternoon and everything was 1a. The food tasted very good. Everything was prepared very lovingly and looked great. The service was quick and courteous. We didn't lack anything. We would love to eat there again. Thank you very much.

Very tasty food, nice service and a pleasant atmosphere

Auf Empfehlung hin haben wir gestern dieses italienische Restaurant getestet und waren mehr als positiv überrascht: Gemütlich eingerichtet, eine reichhaltige Speisekarte, sehr freundliches Personal und Blick auf den Rhein gaben allen Grund zur Annahme, dass der Abend gelingen könnte. Für unsere kleine Enkelin gab es etwas zum Malen. Die Vorspeisen, gegrillter Pulco oder Scampis, waren geschmacklich sehr gut und auch reichlich; vorab gab es aus der Küche Maisbrot und Thunfischcreme. Die Hauptseisen, u. a. Pasta mit Lachs oder Rindfleisch, waren absolut lecker und auch reichlich. Ein gut gekühlter Rosé rundete unser Mahl ab. Dieses Restaurant ist zu empfehlen und wir werden bestimmt wiederkommen

We had a drink there on the first floor, outside area... The service was very good and very friendly. The prices are good. You have a beautiful view of the Rhine. We'd love to come back

Always tasty, always friendly, value for money is ok.

Very good food, attentive service

First place we ate on our trip to Germany for Euro 2024. Stumbled across it and it was a great choice. We had the lasagne and the Tortiglioni Salsiccia. Both absolutely delicious. Restaurant is a lovely place. Light and airy with nice view over the Rhein. Staff were also great. Really friendly. Loved everything about it. A great start to a great trip.

Nice little restaurant on the Rhine promenade in Hitdorf. The food was very tasty, the service was very attentive and the view of the Rhine from the upper floor was great...

Very friendly service, top quality food. Price/performance fits.

Everything's fine ❌ Unfortunately, AMEX is not accepted

Good pizza. View of the Rhine. Easy parking

We spontaneously went out for dinner here on Sunday lunchtime without a reservation. The restaurant is located in close proximity to the Rhine and has an outdoor terrace with a view of the Rhine. From the outside you can also see the beautifully glazed gable of the house, where you can also eat. You can park directly in front of the restaurant. The welcome and service were really nice, the menu was very varied and extensive. As a starter we chose the Frutti di mare salad and bruschetta, followed by tagliatelle with prawns in a tomato cream sauce with cognac and spaghetti with seafood. We were absolutely thrilled with both the portions and the quality of the dishes. 100% recommendation, we will come again.

Very tasty dishes. Nice service. Were very enthusiastic about the food.

We have eaten here very often. The food was always very tasty, especially the orecchiette, highly recommended. The restaurant is really beautifully located directly on the Rhine. You have a great view from above. The service is mixed. The first few times we were there the service was really slow, inattentive and not good. We were there about a week ago, the lady was really quick, friendly and attentive. All in all, we can highly recommend the restaurant. We'll be back. :)

Mega pizza 🍕 Nice service Unfortunately, with larger groups, there is extreme noise. Especially on the upper floor.

As always, very tasty and the view of the Rhine is fantastic

We felt like we were at our favorite Italian restaurant, only the food was even better, if that's even possible! Thank you for the great evening!

A very nice restaurant with a great Ristorante Peperoncino. The friendly and courteous waiter is particularly positive. There is a star deduction because there is still room for improvement when it comes to eating. The meat was good, the side dishes tasted a bit bland. Highly recommended in all! Just look:) Instagram @peperoncinorestaurant

Ein sehr schönes Restaurant mit tollem . Besonders Positiv hervorzuheben ist der freundliche und zuvorkommende Kellner. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es, da beim Essen noch Luft nach oben ist. Das Fleisch war gut, die Beilagen haben etwas fade geschmeckt. In allem sehr empfehlenswert! Einfach schaut:) Instagram @peperoncinorestaurant

Great restaurant, deliciously prepared food and very friendly and attentive service. We were there after FIBO and would love to come back….

We celebrated a great birthday upstairs in the winter garden with a fantastic view of the Rhine and the small harbor. The room is large and suitable for celebrations. The Italian chef knows his craft with good portions. And asks about the desserts of the day.

Toni's carbonara ist der absoluter Hammer...würde immer wieder dort essen. Ein spitzenmäßiger Service . Auch ohne vorherige Reservierung wird man dort immer schnellstens Bedient.

We've been coming to Peperoncino regularly for a year now. The location offers a view of the Rhine, either from the terrace or the beautiful view from the loft-like upper floor. The food is consistently excellent, whether pasta or pizza dishes, especially when Toni cooks, simply the best chef for us. Absolutely fair price, children and family celebration friendly. Staff courteous and a super nice boss.

Very nice view of the Rhine, wonderfully bright room above with glass facade and roof. The pizza was delicious and the dessert was to die for. The service was super nice and attentive. I recommend a digestive walk along the Rhine at sunset after dinner. The location is really great.

We've always wanted to stop here after a bike ride. It was time for Easter. Our expectations were exceeded. Beautiful ambience on the 2nd floor with a view of the Rhine. The service was very attentive and something you rarely get these days. Perfectly tasted from starter to main course. We are usually very critical but the pepperoncino blew us away. We'd love to come back ✨

Been there for the first time, outstanding restaurant. Super friendly, nice and good staff. Ate very tasty, nice that we found a favorite restaurant.

Food was OK. Dessert didn't seem homemade to me. Service is nice but at the limit.

Super good Italian cuisine, delicious wines, nice service, good ambience with harbor flair

This recession only affects the “Culinary Trip through Sardinia” on March 16, 2024! a culinary journey through Sardinia... oh my god, what a bust that was! It started off promisingly, a nice reception, a delicious and not exactly cheap wine was ordered, which of course raises expectations. There were a few small pizza slices at the beginning and then, yes, then nothing else happened. At some point a plate of Sardinian delicacies arrived 😬well, it didn't really blow any of us away, but well, wait and see - think positive At some point a record came out with pfff, Gnocchetti sardi or something like that. I've never seen anything so carelessly served. A platter for 9 people, nothing included, not nicely decorated with greens, looked like it came straight from the Erasco can and it tasted just as bland. At some point something like the main course was supposed to come, piglet ribs with no idea, something similar to ravioli, only better... The first four of our group got that, then the other tables and at some point the second part of our table was also considered - for a small rib each - counted? Why is a group not served together? Anyway, once that was just breathed in, the question came up as to whether we wanted some parmesan with it??? Sorry, too late. The ribs - er, the ribs, were almost cold anyway, so you don't have to wait for parmesan again. Finally, there was a round of mini cream puffs - freshly thawed in terms of taste and consistency, which reminded me not of my vacation in Sardinia but of the Aldi cream puffs that you sometimes get at children's birthday parties. Put - 6 I've heard it's good, that may be true, but if no one knows anything about Sardinian food you should stay away from it. And if you're not able to feed a full house at once, then you shouldn't do that either. Very unfortunate and annoying!

Very nice boss and friendly staff. Toni in the kitchen lives and loves his work and good Italian food and you can taste it too. Simply great. Highly recommended, always happy. LG and keep it up.

Telefonisch reservierten wir einen Tisch. Leider waren die Tische teils doppelt vergeben worden. Die Bedienung ließ ihre schlechte Laune an uns aus. Wir können Ihnen nun einen Tisch geben, aber wir würden Sie bitten, nach einer Stunde das Restaurant zu verlassen. Nach einer Vorspeise, einem Hauptgang und einem Getränk, bat man uns zu gehen. Wären wir nicht eine Stunde angereist, hätten wir direkt das Restaurant verlassen, ohne etwas zu bestellen. Essen ok, Service katastrophal, aber erst Abkassieren und dann Rausschmeißen, entbehrt jeder Vorstellungskraft! Nie wieder!

Very nice restaurant run by an Italian. Food was great and very tasty! The ambience invites you to linger. Great wine list 👍😁

Dear Peperoncino team, I would like to thank you very much for the wonderful culinary experience in your restaurant. I was amazed by the authentic Italian atmosphere and the exquisite dishes. The dishes in this restaurant are exquisite in taste and the variety of culinary delights makes every visit a real culinary delight. I would particularly like to emphasize the friendly service and the excellent service. A visit to Peperoncino is always a pleasure! Grazie mille! Best regards, Deeku

It is a very nice and family-friendly large restaurant, everything is very impressively furnished, you feel very comfortable as a guest here. We spontaneously went to the restaurant last night and were shown straight to a seat on the upper floor. It took less than 3 minutes for us to be given cards and drinks. The menu and individual wine list had a lot to choose from so there was something for everyone. We sat there for 2 hours and ate starters, main courses and desserts, each individual dish had its own special feature that made you want to try something of everything. Not only was the ambience and the food great, but also the service. Even though there was only one service person on site, he handled it brilliantly and didn't keep anyone waiting. Overall, it was a very familiar atmosphere in which you felt very comfortable. We would definitely like to come back.

Was there on a Saturday evening, the restaurant was very busy, but the staff was still very friendly and attentive We had to wait quite a long time for the food, but it was worth the wait, it was delicious Conclusion: recommended

Delicious Italian cuisine! Nice view of the Rhine, slightly higher prices. We will come more often!

Very friendly... great Italian restaurant... especially upstairs... panoramic view of the Rhine... a little bit like a vacation... Had my first date there with a very impressive woman... again and again...

Very nice restaurant, located right on the Rhine, the food was super tasty and the staff was very friendly and gave very good advice, simply recommended, 👍

The food. It was very tasty and the service was very friendly. I would love to come back.

Original Italian cuisine with a great view of the Rhine. Top quality, we would love to come back. The service was also excellent.

We had a very cozy evening with a very good server and great food. My steak was on point, the pizza was excellent and the dessert was excellent. We would be happy to come back. There is a terrace in summer. You have a great view of the Rhine. There are enough parking spaces available. Take a short walk along the Rhine before or after dinner

Waren heute zu Viert da, einfach in jeder Hinsicht ein Träumchen. Kann man nur weiterempfehlen.... sehr, sehr lecker TONI den Koch müsste man clonen 😊

Eins der besten Restaurants in Leverkusen. Frische Gerichte, tolle und große Auswahl auch an vegetarischen Speisen und dazu ein fantastischer Ausblick auf den Rhein. Zitat meiner mäkeligen Tante: "Das Peperoncino ist das einzige Restaurant in dem man nie selbst nachwürzen muss."

We loved it here. The food was delicious and fresh. The service was great. We didn’t make a reservation and they were still able to accommodate us. The wait for the food was normal (30ish minutes), considering that the restaurant was fully packed. I’d be very concerned if the food would be ready within 10 minutes 🥲 The price for each dish is more than reasonable. I honestly can’t understand most of the negative reviews, either they all just had a bad day or Germans like to complain about every little thing 🙈 for us this visit was worth it and we will be coming back!

Wir hatten das Tagesgericht (Mittagsmenü) das Preisleistungsverhältniss war gut. Das Pwrsonal war aufmerksam trotz relativ vielen Gästen

Mit herrlichen Blick auf den Rhein haben wir köstlich zu Abend gegessen 😋die Bedienung war kompetent und freundlich, das Ambiente top und das wichtigste, das Essen total lecker, wir kommen gerne wieder

Sehr lecker, sehr freundlich und super Ausblick auf den Rhein. Wir sind mehr als zufrieden. Vielen Dank an das Team

Das Essen ist jedes Mal tip top. Der Service ist super und die Lage, sowie die Inneneinrichtung auch toll ! Wir gehen hier gerne essen und haben kürzlich noch einen Gutschein für Freunde gekauft. 10/10 Sternen ✨👍🏻

Wir hatten heute das Weihnachts-Menü in der Vegetarischen Variante, es wurde für uns extra zubereitet. Geschmacklich wie optisch einfach ein Traum. Der Service ist der Hammer, jeder ist wirklich freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Lokal sauber und einladend. Preis Leistung unschlagbar. Wir waren begeistert und empfehlen es definitiv weiter :)

Waren spontan zu dritt dort. Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Portionen großzügig bemessen. Am besten gefiel mir das Tagesdessert und das nette Gespräch mit dem Koch Toni, der sich spontan zu uns gesellte.

Sehr nette Bedienung, super Essen, in einer Gruppe mit mehr als 20 Personen hatten wir vorab eine kleinere Speisekarte abgesprochen. Es war für jeden etwas dabei und allen hat es super lecker geschmeckt. Leider ist die Akustik oben etwas laut, ansonsten alles Spitze!

Essen in einem gemütlichen italienischen Restaurant mit wundervollen freien Blick auf den Rhein. Eine sehr leckere Antipasti, Spaghetti Perooncino, Spaghetti mit Muscheln und einem guten Wein. Maestro de Cuisine Toni kam noch anschließend zu unserem Tisch. Danke Toni für das sehr leckere Essen.

Sehr gute Pizzeria mit überschaubarer aber vielfältiger Speisekarte. Freundliche Bedienung und keine langen Wartezeiten. Bei Tag gibt es auch noch die Aussicht auf den Rhein. Eine Aussenterrasse im 1. OG ist auch vorhanden

Wir waren mit 7 Personen aus 3 Generationen im Ristorante Peperoncino. Kurz gesagt: Es war super. Bei der Bestellung brachten wir einige Änderungswünsche vor. Sie wurden aufgenommen und Variationen besprochen. Die Vorspeisen und Hauptgerichte kamen zügig an den Tisch, nicht zu schnell und nicht zu spät. Wir haben genossen, dass alle Teller individuell und mit Liebe zu Detail angerichtet waren. Spaghetti waren stilvoll gewickelt, Salate gut und reichlich zusammen gestellt. Wir fühlten uns sehr gut betreut. Selten sehe ich einen Lugana bzw. Primitivo als Hausweine. Super. Die Sicht aus dem per Holzofen geheizten Obergeschoss auf den Rhein hat ihr übriges getan. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Abend.

Mal wieder hat Toni etwas sehr leckeres gezaubert. Sein Essen und seine Art kann man nur mögen. Er kommt stets zu seinen Gästen und kümmert sich. Wor freuen uns auf ein geplantes Kochevent im kommenden Jahr. Danke auch an das restliche Team. Weiter so!

Leckere riesige Pizza gegessen. Gerne wieder

Ein tolles Lokal. Sehr leckeres Essen und der Service 1A! TOP!👌👍 Danke an das Team. Gerne wieder!

Gute Bewertungen verhießen einen schönen Abend im Peperoncino Speisesaal in der 1. Etage sehr schön - im Winter wäre Vorheizen jedoch angebracht. Es war unangenehm kühl in dem Speiseraum. Bedienung ausgesprochen nett und höflich. Vorspeisen Carpaccio und Bruschetta unspekatkulär. Muscheln italienischer Art geschmacklich gut - aber das waren echte Babymuscheln - sehr kleines Muschelfleisch Raviola Spinaci & Ricotta m.E. nicht selbst gemacht. Tomatensahnesauce dazu geschmacklich nicht gut abgestimmt. Nachtisch: Karte von italienischem Fertigeishersteller - geht gar nicht ! Kurzum: leider hinter unseren Erwartungen geblieben - so sympathisch die Kellnerin auch war und sich um uns gekümmert hat.

Hallo Ristorante Peperocino 😊 super Ambiente, das Essen was uns der Chef Koch" Toni " vorbereitet hatte, schmeckt wie immer ausgezeichnet. Die neuen Besitzer vom Peperocino sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. 😉 Werde das Reistorante jederzeit weiter empfehlen.

Nicht nur super leckeres Essen, sondern auch herausragender Service. Weiter so!

Einfach lecker 😋 und ein super Ambiente 🤩.

Das Restaurant ist eine 12/10 Waren dort mit 8 Leuten zu einem Geburtstag essen. Super Bedienung, sehr leckeres Essen und viel Auswahl. Gab natürlich ein kleines Ständchen plus Kuchen für das Geburtstagskind. Mussten nicht lange aufs Essen warten. Kann ich jedem einfach nur weiterempfehlen!!

Absolut weiterzuempfehlen. Super leckeres Essen, tolles Ambiente und super Service. Preis Leistung stimmt hier auch.

Sehr gut essen Personal freundlich sauber und wird man immer satt.

Endlich Carbonara ohne Sahne 💕. Mega lecker 😋. Liebe Grüße vom Hitdorfer Lädchen 🌷
