Ristorante Pizzeria Sale e Pepe (Wieder geöffnet!) in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler

The two of us were there for the first time and we were more than satisfied. The service was simply excellent; discreet, helpful with optimal advice and simply friendly…. The spaghetti with truffles and parmesan was to die for and the tiramsu was perfect

Yes, we were completely satisfied.

Indeed it was a nice welcome, the service was impeccable. On the other hand, the food was just mediocre Scampi aglio e olio [15.50] were served in a kind of soup bowl, the garlic broth was somehow without any bang and since the scampis were floating in the broth, they were of course no longer really crunchy. The bread served with it wasn't baked perfectly either. 6 out of 10 Spaghetti Carbonara, the carbonara cream was very dry and without the corresponding melt. Guanciale only in homeopathic dosage. 5 out of 10 It was also very loud in the restaurant.

...our dinner for two at "Sale e Pepe" on Saturday evening was not the birthday highlight we had hoped for, but rather a sobering meal without any shine... unfortunately! Starting with the reserved table right next to the entrance door, to the carelessly prepared starter, one of the two main courses at a sub-cooled temperature with not exactly appetizing and tasty follow-up, including sorry for the service staff, but also a somewhat tolerable reaction and discussion! Professionally it's a little different and for the price we would have expected something better! Too bad "sale without Pepe"...

Best Italian restaurant in the region!

The best pizza I've ever had! With distance!!

Super tasty food, very friendly service, moderate prices.

So far everything is good! But I had to deduct a star for the pizza crust, which is quite large.

Just one word is enough: WoooooW This was our first time there since it opened after the flood. From walking in, to the service, ambience and the extremely excellent food. Mama mia 👌🏼😉 I haven't felt so good in a restaurant for a long time, you're great! We'll be back 😋

Very tasty food and friendly service. Always my pleasure.

great atmosphere and very good food!

Mega delicious food, super friendly service. All in all, great ambience.

Wow, what a treat! I was a guest for the first time today and I'm wondering WHY only now? I've never had such good Italian food. Everything is just right here, the ambience, the friendly and attentive service and the incredibly great food...if Italian, then only at Sale e Pepe❤️

Very tasty food, friendly service and nice ambience. However, for my pasta dish I would have actually liked a little more pasta with the sauce, which tasted very good.

It was a wonderful evening with friends at friends' houses. The food is absolute madness. Highly recommended if you are here. Everyone comes along... but always make a reservation, otherwise it will be difficult. Unfortunately you can only give 5 stars here. 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Es gibt kaum ein Lokal im Ahrtal, dass so professionell und freundlich von der Bedienung her geführt wird, wie das Sale e Pepe in Bad Neuenahr! Und das sage ich als Ur-Ahrweiler (und wir geben ungern zu, dass in Bad Neuenahr etwas sehr gut ist). Das Essen ist ausgezeichnet und empfehlenswert. Aus gutem Grund sollte man vorher reservieren.

Four of us were there yesterday and overall we had a lovely evening. It was busy, but the service was still very, very friendly. The food and drinks were super delicious. However, there was a difference in the quantities between the recommendations on the first page and the "normal" dishes. Our pasta dishes and salad were good portions, but the tortellini filled with chanterelles were rather sparse - almost not enough to fill you up for the price. The biggest drawback I would like to mention, however, was the waiting time for food. We had booked the time slot from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Our order wasn't taken until after 6 p.m. - including the drinks. These came quite quickly, but we waited 20 minutes for the starter. Our food didn't arrive until almost 50 minutes later (around 7:10 p.m.). That was a very long period of time. Above all, it almost felt rushed because after eating you didn't have much time to relax and have a drink and nibble on dessert in peace. We did that, but everything was pretty squashed in the last 20 minutes. Therefore there is a star deduction. This still needs some tweaking.

There were six of us in the restaurant on a Wednesday evening. Very hospitable, attentive and courteous service! At our table we mainly ate pizza and pasta, which tasted delicious. We were also well advised on the wine selection.

Unfortunately it was very cold in the restaurant, but my food was great

Unfortunately the orata was fried for too long. Pasta and salad, on the other hand, were very tasty For 27 euros that was a disappointing result

You are a guest here! It's really nice to be welcomed, a warm welcome at the door, an escort to the table, a friendly smile. But that's not all, the kitchen is in no way inferior to the service! The dishes are tasty and a feast for the eyes. Price performance is 100% balanced. Clear recommendation!

It was a wonderful evening and the food was of high quality

Very chic and cozy quiet atmosphere. Service very nice. The food was fresh and very tasty

Went for lunch on Sunday without a reservation and still got a table. The service was very friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent and plentiful. Can recommend this restaurant with a clear conscience.

Probably the best Italian in town with a newly renovated restaurant, who knows his business and still acts as a host! Good team! Decent kitchen! Opening times are now very reduced. Shortcoming: Unfortunately, no normal “good” mineral water!

Clean and well maintained. Staff friendly. Food is good.

super tasty. Friendly and considerate staff. We'll be back 😊

Great place to have a wonderful and delightful dinner for 2. Lovely staff, with a great sense of communication & on point recommendations as activities after dinner from Mariana.

Best noodles ever and super friendly service! Top

Very good pizza and perfect pasta.

Food was excellent, staff extremely friendly and competent

Excellent meal! I'm gluten free so I wasn't able to have any pizza or pasta as there are no Gluten Free alternatives but there are other items on the menu that are naturally gluten free. I had the mussels (from the specials menu) amd a salad. Finished off with an excellent creme brulee.

Delicious food with matching wines and excellent service. Highly recommended!

Actually a very nice restaurant, but a very arrogant and unfriendly staff. You listen to people gossiping about the guests in the restaurant while you wait for your dish to be picked up. On our last visit my partner was served the wrong pizza. The male server heard Pizza Bruchetta instead of Pizza Proscuito. The server argued that we had pronounced it incorrectly and had no idea that it was also the service staff's job to clarify what was ordered. In addition, Pizza Bruchetta is not a pizza that you find on the menu in an Italian restaurant, but seems to be very specific. We were not shown any concessions, only offered to let us return the pizza at full charge. No free drink, or apology, or anything like that was offered, but we did get several unfriendly looks while we ate the pizza. Despite everything, we remained polite and then received unfriendly behavior from our colleague, who no longer greeted us when we said goodbye. We were shocked and ashamed. We didn't enjoy the stay. There are better restaurants in the area.

Had dinner there last night and it was a successful evening. Not pre-ordered, but luckily a table outside just became available. The salad with goat cheese, walnuts and honey was very tasty and bread was served with it. He also enjoyed his son's lasagne. The service was very friendly and kept an overview. She has my approval. I would highly recommend this Italian restaurant to family and friends.

My husband and I dined there last weekend. It was very tasty, a nice restaurant where you can feel comfortable. The employees were very nice and accommodating. If we ever find ourselves in Ahrweiler again, we'll go there again.

The food is excellent. Service very friendly and attentive. Price performance is definitely consistent. I'd love to come back. Reservation recommended.

A nice place with good food and quick service. They pffer takeaway too. Had to wait for a place and only had limited time before table was reserved, but it fitted our plans perfectly. Food was delicious. Open part of the restaurant is on the pedestrian walk, people walk past your table and there may be smokers around hence one star less. Overall recommended!

Best pizza I've eaten in 20 years. Great.

We were at Sale e Pepe with 4 people for a celebration. We couldn't have chosen a nicer place. The service was extremely accommodating, polite and very attentive. There's nothing negative to say about the food, everything was very tasty. It is particularly worth mentioning that, in addition to the "normal" menu, there is also a menu with seasonal dishes (for us, chanterelles). The wine list should also have something for everyone. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back. Sale e Pepe is highly recommended.

Waited over an hour for pasta and pizza. Pasta sauce completely over salted, pizza not cooked through. The restaurant was only moderately attended. Customers at the next table were refused to share a pizza. Either they should order 2 small pizzas or leave. Customer friendliness looks different. I don't need it again.

Unfortunately I don't have any photos, but the food is excellent and we always enjoy coming here - across the Rhine -😉

In this still battered place, the restaurant "sale e pepe" is a ray of hope and a real eye-catcher. Last week, after spontaneously deciding to eat here, I was lucky enough to get a table outside for about 1.5 hours. That was completely enough for me as an individual. The indoor and outdoor areas filled completely within half an hour; All tables that were already occupied when I arrived were allocated a second time. No wonder given the quality of the food. The house is ultra-modern, very stylish and well maintained, the service is perfect, extremely friendly, competent and fast. A refreshing Red Hugo started an outstanding meal. It consisted of a tender carpaccio and a perfectly cooked bistecca alla griglia with Mediterranean side dishes. Plus a well-chilled Lugana. All dishes were attractively prepared. The price/performance ratio is balanced and the location of the house on a quiet street is perfect.

Very good pizza with great service! Priced high but reasonable.

very good food, everything fits. Reservation recommended.

Very nice and slightly upscale restaurant. The waitresses/waiters anticipate your every wish. The pizzas are very large and taste simply good. In my opinion, the portion of spaghetti aglio e olio could be a little larger.

This was our third time eating there and we would love to come back! It is very tasty and, above all, freshly prepared, the service is super friendly, all of our wishes were fulfilled. Top restaurant!!!

Auf der Durchreise machten wir eine tolle Entdeckung. Der Empfang ist professionell und freundlich. Die Dekoration ist angenehm. Die Pizzen waren sehr gut und der Cocktail sehr frisch. Vielen Dank ! (Französische Touristen)

Sehr gutes Essen, sehr gute Getränkeauswahl, sehr zuvorkommender Service ( bei Erwähnung des Hochzeitstages gab es ein Glas Prosecco aufs Haus). Kommen auf jeden Fall wieder und empfehlen auch gerne weiter.

We were a larger group and were happy to accept the offer of a mixed appetizer platter. It was very tasty and very filling. Unfortunately the main course, the house pizza, couldn't keep up. It was all floating on the pizza and didn't seem inspired. The payment took over half an hour, so that the first guests were back at the hotel long before the rest of us were finally allowed to pay the bill. That really disturbed the overall impression.

We've been there for the second time now and have to admit that we liked it even better this time. The waitress was wonderful. She memorized everything, even with a group of 17 people. Hats off. Knew how to classify every drink and food for every person.

Amazing, great pizza, real carbonara (not that stupid cream and ham nonsense that you unfortunately often get), a great selection of starters and Italian beer on tap. The service could be a little more on point, but was consistently friendly and accommodating.

Delicious food (great pizzas), good bruschetta and very attentive service. Upper price category.

The food here is quite nice and the service is good. Just make sure you look at the wine menu well. All glass prices are listed at 0.1 l. However, if you order you automatically get a 0.2 glass which makes them double the price you saw on the menu.

Food was very tasty. Service friendly and professional. Price ok

The best Italian here in Bad Neuenahr Ahrweiler in my opinion, my parents were also very enthusiastic, the rump steak and the beef fillet medium were a dream, I haven't eaten this good in a long time

There were 6 of us eating - the service was above average. The food was prepared quickly and bread with olive oil was provided on the house. It was a great experience because the entire crew was extremely friendly and professional.

Great atmosphere, very nice staff and very tasty food. We had pizza, pasta and tiramisu. My recommendation is to then have an Espresso Coretto (Espresso with Sambuca).

Food great, but very unfriendly. We received the bill WITHOUT request 😕

We decided at short notice to reserve a table online at Sale e Pepe, and our first impression was extremely positive. The ambience of the restaurant was charming and tastefully designed, which immediately created a pleasant atmosphere. What was particularly pleasant was that the floor-to-ceiling windows were completely open, creating an airy and inviting environment. This contributed significantly to our well-being. Our starters and main courses were mostly delicious, apart from the spaghetti carbonara, where the egg was unfortunately set. Although this was disappointing, it did not detract from the taste of the dish. The service staff was friendly, but a bit short and reserved in their communication. Nevertheless, we were served nicely. Overall, our visit to Sale e Pepe was a positive experience with a few minor flaws. We will definitely come back and hope for an even better experience next time. Dogs are welcome in the restaurant.

Despite my wrong table reservation (thanks to Google Maps, we turned to the wrong Sal e Pepe), we got a table after waiting. The service is very friendly and attentive. Italian hospitality is lived here. The ambience is a mix of rustic and modern, but looks very homely thanks to the wooden tables and the color scheme. The food came quickly. The portions were absolutely sufficient. Everyone enjoyed it excellently. We had tagliatelle manzo, spaghetti carbonara and a classic pizza margherita.

Best pizza in a long time! This quality can only be found in Italy, in very few restaurants. The dough, the cheese, the selection... fantastic. The ambience is great, especially the historic natural stone wall and the floor-to-ceiling windows create a feel-good atmosphere :) The owner and the service team are super friendly. Definitely worth a visit!

We were registered and there was a confirmation, but there was some irritation because there was initially no reservation in the restaurant. After we had already visited this pizzeria a few times this year, we ordered a shared appetizer and a shared large pizza, just like on our last visit. The waitress made it clear to us that we couldn't order a large pizza together. The restaurant manager also confirmed this. He explained to us that this had never been the case and suggested that we take two small pizzas, which, however, were not noted on the menu. The surprise came with the bill. Instead of paying €17 for a large pizza, we paid €30 for 2 small pizzas. Hidden price increase?

We made a reservation at short notice, Saturday evening, and were lucky. The restaurant was already almost full at 6 p.m. The restaurant looks classy and elegant without making you feel out of place if you aren't positioned. Service nice, professional and attentive. My pizza (sale e pepe) was huge, quite tasty but there was a lot of pesto on it which became quite dominant in taste over time. A little less might be more here. The tiramisu could have used a little more espresso and amaretto, both of which didn't stand out. Nevertheless, it was tasty and we were very satisfied! By the way, he's the only Italian I know who sells his San Pellegrino at the 'normal' price. Fair!

I ate there twice with my wife. Once before the flood and once after the flood. Was disappointed both times. One time, unfortunately, it was also our wedding anniversary. For my wife, it was the salmon that was still half raw. For me it was the pizza (at least €17) that was totally over seasoned. Never again!!!

Visited restaurant based on a recommendation. First of all, I'm going there with great anticipation, based on this recommendation. Side salad was ok. Lasagna wasn't bad in principle, but unfortunately it was only lukewarm in the middle. For whatever reason. Same with my table neighbor. I was a bit disappointed in the taste, it was also lightly seasoned. Conditions were quick and friendly Restaurant you can visit, ambience is ok, maybe the chef had a bad day

Everything was great, very tasty 😋

Discovered by chance, nice, well-kept restaurant, very friendly welcome. We ate spaghetti aglio olio, perfect with a slight chili heat, great bread, good olive oil. The pizzas at the next table also looked very good. We will come back in any case.

Very nice restaurant, attentive and friendly service. Food delicious, espresso and panna cotta highly recommended. Prices absolutely reasonable. We'd love to come back.

We went spontaneously on a weekday. We were lucky that it wasn't full and we found a table, but I heard it's always recommended to reserve. The waitress was very friendly throughout the entire service. The food was delicious, one of the best Italian restaurants I've tried in the area. Quality and price were fair, we will definitely come back without hesitation.

Everything delicious Service very nice The corn didn't go well with the steak salad Drinks and food selection is 👍 Very dog ​​friendly

We had booked a table and it was very good, all tables were occupied. The food and service were very good. Absolutely recommended.

I have now written this review based on 3 different incidents with the restaurant. 1. Table reserved with the working group and eaten there on site in the evening. Warm welcome at the entrance. The ambience looks inviting with the “grass wall” and the “moped” and other small details, but personally it is too dark for me despite the lamps at the tables. Well then... I really like the menu because it is clear and not too busy and also has daily specials. At the beginning there was fresh bread from the house with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I ordered a salad with fish and it was really excellent. Absolute recommendation for a proud price of €20. Personally, it bothered me that wheat beer was only available in 0.33l size with the glasses. I'm aware that it's not a pub, but even in Milan I can get a 0.5l beer from very good, well-known Italians. Of course I understand the economic background. ;-) The service was attentive and friendly, but you can tell the difference in treatment between “celebrities and regulars” to “newcomers.” That's unprofessional for me. In my opinion, the price-performance ratio for what is on offer is not entirely justified. 2nd and 3rd incident was a pizza order that was consumed at home. 1x Frutti di Mare for a whopping €18 and the second time salmon & spinach for €15. The pizza was in the box for 5 minutes from when it was picked up to when it was consumed and the taste was not a treat for the palate. The dough tasted bland, no crunch, limp in the middle and the tomato sauce had no drip. Personally 5.7 out of 10 points. For the price it's completely unjustified. I think a solid basis with strengths and weaknesses. There is still room for improvement.

Top restaurant! Friendly, competent staff, therefore a RECOMMENDATION!

I love this place very much, the service is great, the food is very tasty and everything is beautiful here

Unfortunately, I ordered the black pizza twice, the special thing on the extra menu. I got a pizza with light dough and it was served without an apology. When I pointed this out, sepia ink was maligned. Another time the parmesan chip was missing. 👎👎👎

UPDATE Opened again after renovation and even more beautiful. Food of top quality, the service is once again particularly praiseworthy. Everyone is there with heart and mind and knowledge - you can't expect more. All the dishes looked great, nicely arranged on beautiful dishes. My first address whenever I'm on site. Monday and Tuesday closed. It's worth making a reservation, as the restaurant is very busy just a few minutes after it opens. still the best place to eat pizza in Bad Neuenahr. Also has many other Italian dishes, but I prefer the hand kneaded pizza...

Very nice place to stay. The food tasted really good. The quality is excellent. Service was also 1a. Very attentive and immediately took care of our needs. Reservation was easy and hassle-free online. Thank you very much for this pleasant evening

Super delicious pizza!! We recommend

Delicious .... Beautifully decorated....comfortable Very fast and great service ... Everything was really top... Gladly again soon 🙂

Great as always. Best pizza in Bad Neuenahr.

Unfortunately, on a Sunday evening, apart from the four of us, there was only one other couple as guests.

Top cucina top personale molto gentile, il proprietario è molto simpatico , i prezzi sono ottimi la cucina è perfetta senza nessun errore , 100% cucina italiana

Eine Top Pizzeria/Restaurant sehr gemütlich, gepflegt und lecker 😋

Sehr schönes Ambiente, freundliches Personal. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Immer wieder gerne.

Sehr schönes Lokal, das Essen war sehr gut. Der Service war Spitze und es hat alles gepasst.

Immer wieder lecker, mehr gibt es nicht zu sagen

Essen, Service und auch das Ambiente sind top. Nicht günstig, aber angemessen für das, was man bekommt. Sehr weiterzuempfehlen :)

Ich war zum Essen am 2. Weihnachtstag mit meinen Vater dort und bin begeistert. Das Essen war sehr gut, kam nicht hoppla hopp, sondern im angemessenen Abstand und alle waren freundlich zu uns. Kann ich nur empfehle!! :)

Megalecker! Toller Service und wunderschönes Ambiente

Super Italiener. Tolles Essen, prima Weinauswahl und aufmerksamer Service. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Netter Italiener im Zentrum von Bad Neuenahr. Sehr freundliche, zuvorkommende und aufmerksame Bedienung. Das Essen war sehr gut. Wir hatten einen sehr leckeren Tomatensalat und anschliessend noch Pizza. Aber Vorsicht😂, die Pizza ist verdammt groß und sehr üppig belegt. Also vorher nicht so viel andere leckere Sachen essen. Die Preise sind auch durchweg angemessen. Allerdings sollte man vorher einen Tisch reservieren. Hatten wir zwar nicht, aber die nette Kellnerin hat uns an einen Stehtisch in einer Ecke verfrachtet und gesagt, das in der nächsten viertel Stunde etwas frei würde.

Wir hatten mit dem Team der Allianz Agentur Grüber&Grüber einen tollen Abend mit fantastischem Essen und herausragend gutem Service!

Lecker und Preiswert mit tollem Service! Liebe Grüße von der Allianz Grüber & Grüber.

Tolles Essen super Service es war ein super schöner Abend. Danke an das ganze Team

Super netter Service und das Essen war einfach nur köstlich

Tolles Restaurant, Reservierung nötig! Sehr gutes Essen (keine "normale" Pizzeria), freundliche und höfliche ServicemitarbeiterInnen und das alles in angenehmer Atmosphäre zu einem noch bezahlbaren Preis. Solange der Preis nicht noch weiter steigt, kommen wir jetzt regelmäßig. Noch weitere vegetarische Gerichte wären schön....

Kleines aber sehr gutes Restaurant. Echte italienische Küche. Ein Tisch ohne Reservierung zu bekommen ist schwierig. Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.

Spaghetti Carbonara, ist der Hammer.

Bester Ort für eine leckere Pizza in Bad Neuenahr Ahrweiler! Das Ristorante Pizzeria Sale e Pepe hat mich mit seiner authentischen italienischen Atmosphäre und den köstlichen Pizzen beeindruckt. Die Pizza war frisch zubereitet, hatte eine knusprige Kruste und großzügig belegte Beläge. Der Service war freundlich und aufmerksam. Ein perfekter Ort nicht nurfür Pizza-Liebhaber!
