Ristorante Trattoria Prima Fila in Castrop-Rauxel

Not really suitable for families and large groups. We were there with two children and several adults. The table was far too small for the number of people, and it was just awkward with the large pizza plates. The food was quite good, but also very expensive. The allergen list had many errors! Unfortunately, there were no children's meals on the menu, and there was no changing table. We waited ages for our food. Card payment wasn't possible either. We won't be coming back.

Friendly service, food good but nothing special.

In November 2025, I have to update my review. They didn't dare to adjust the prices to reflect the costs, and they drastically reduced the quality. After several disappointing experiences, we no longer go there... Food good. Delicious wines. Friendly service. Update 5 months later: We're in lockdown again and ordered a Christmas dinner for December 25th. Everything was great! Special requests were accommodated. Everything was delivered on time. The quality of the food was very good. We'd love to do it again next year – hopefully without a lockdown.

Hello everyone, We've now tried everything on the menu. We can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. The price-performance ratio is excellent. The dishes are cooked, prepared, and presented with love. You won't find any pre-made products here. Anyone who says otherwise, sorry, they simply don't know what they're talking about. The service is friendly and welcoming! Come and see for yourselves!

It was a very nice evening at your place and the cocktail was delicious.

Overall, we had a positive impression of the restaurant. The food was delicious and the price reasonable. The service was very friendly. Unfortunately, we had to wait quite a long time for our order to be taken and for the food to arrive. In total, more than an hour, which I found quite long when you're hungry. However, the staff were very accommodating towards the end and apologized. We'd gladly come back!

The pizza was really delicious. It was so big that even I, a handyman, couldn't open it. It was also good value for money. That's why I'll be back.

Friendly service, delicious food

The food is unfortunately a complete disaster. I can't understand all the positive reviews. We stood at the entrance for what felt like 10 minutes before someone finally greeted us. I ordered classic lasagna and was served lasagna with cooked ham. Since when do they serve lasagna with cooked ham? I've only ever seen it with ground meat. The lasagna was from the day before, or maybe even a few days old! Just old lasagna warmed up in the oven! It was hot on the outside and cold on the inside. A disgrace. I certainly won't be back. Don't be fooled by the reviews.

Top-notch food, top-notch service, top-notch ambiance. Everything was fantastic!

Top Italian restaurant. I've been here several times. I highly recommend it!

Very good food, family atmosphere, great service, I come back again and again.

Great service and delicious food! We'll be back!

The restaurant deserves a Michelin star.

An absolutely recommendable Italian restaurant! 🍝🇮🇹 The service was first-class – super friendly, attentive, and warm, you immediately feel welcome. The ambiance is beautiful, cozy, and stylish, just what you'd expect from an Italian restaurant. And most importantly: the food! Simply fantastic – fresh, prepared with love, and a true highlight in terms of taste. We'll definitely be back – a definite recommendation!

Very friendly staff. I was just passing through with my little daughter and received a warm welcome. Delicious food, excellent lunch. We'd be happy to return! Best regards

Very good cuisine very friendly staff

Unfortunately, due to the lack of flexibility of the service staff, we were unable to rate the food. When we inquired, we were told that there was no way to enjoy our desired salad other than the "house dressing," which we didn't want. After all, we were at an Italian restaurant. Lemon dressing is standard there. They were unable to offer a simpler alternative. That's not how you win new guests. What a pity. They won't see us again.

Discovered by chance on the way back from vacation. Very good food and very friendly welcome!

Nice pizzeria in the town center with the option of outdoor dining.

Prima Fila is a true insider tip for all lovers of Italian cuisine. The pizzas are crispy, perfectly topped, and fresh from the oven! The pasta dishes also impress with their quality and flavor. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Anyone looking for a taste of Italy in the heart of Castrop is guaranteed to find it here. Highly recommended! 🍕🇮🇹

Very good food. Prices are also completely reasonable. Fresh and delicious, highly recommended.

We were in town on a whim, looking for a good restaurant. We asked Google, and here we were :) Very nice atmosphere Clean restrooms Very friendly and professional staff. The appetizer and snack from the kitchen were delicious. Great food and drinks. Greetings from Heilbronn

Three of us were there for lunch today. We had a mixed appetizer platter, pasta with porcini mushroom sauce, piccata Milanese, and arugula with beef fillet. Each of us enjoyed a glass of wine. Everything was delicious, and the service was friendly. We look forward to returning.😋

A lovely little pizzeria on the outskirts of Castrop's city center. The terrace is a wonderful place to sit. The food is very good, the staff is friendly, and the prices are very reasonable.

Thank you very much for a wonderful evening. Delicious food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere. This wasn't our first time at Prima Fila, and it certainly won't be our last. We absolutely recommend it.

A great trattoria. Very friendly owner. Delicious food. It's a pleasure to go there.

Ich war geschäftlich in der Stadt und bin zufällig auf das Restaurant gestoßen. Ich war sehr zufrieden. Das Essen war sehr gut und der Service sehr nett und schnell. Ich würde jederzeit wieder kommen.

Best Italian gastronomy far and wide. Pizza, pasta, fish platters and everything else on the menu is always a pleasure. Anyone looking for a decent pizza should try their luck here. I'm sure you'll be thrilled. We really enjoy going here.

Incredibly good, friendly and competent service. Very good advice on wine pairings. Great day card. Good wine selection. Pasta is highly recommended. But also great pizza. Always happy again. Definitely a recommendation

He estado hoy día 2 de mayo Es un cumpleaños con 22 personas, todo perfecto, El equipo de trabajo es de 10, recomiendo 💯 x100, unos grandes profesionales, yo soy de la hostelería, y los tiempos son perfectos, Gracias a la gerencia por el trato recibido, Volveremos

Very nice atmosphere. Food is recommended.

Highly recommended. The pizza is top-notch.

Pizza and pasta 🍝 everything was delicious and great service. Finally, the best tiramisu 😋

Delicious food in a nice atmosphere! 😊👍🏻

Very tasty Italian and super nice service

Good service and great ambience. The food was fantastic! We come here more often now and will recommend it to everyone!

Very great cuisine. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Pizza, lasagna and a great salad, everything was delicious, service was great.

Brillant Place, very friendly 👍

My meal... salmon and sea bream fillet with a mustard crust was very tasty, but I missed some vegetables as a side dish!! My wife was happy with her salad too!! The waitress tried to be friendly. What I didn't like was that we, two couples, had to go to the checkout ourselves to pay the bill individually...I've never experienced that in 45 years of visiting restaurants. The atmosphere was actually very nice. However, the toilets were blocked during our visit. Women's and men's toilets had the same problem. Despite the guests informing us several times, the problem was ignored by the team!!! According to the motto, no one will notice.

Just been there for the first and last time. We wanted to choose a table and were stopped with the words: “No shit, everything is reserved!” Then there were still 2 places. Everyone ordered 2 dishes. Starter and main course. It had just been cleared away, my large bottle of water was not yet empty, when they “inquired” whether we could leave. There would be other people waiting and otherwise everything would be reserved and we would eventually have eaten. The food was just average, it was very noisy. We will definitely NOT be coming back.

Very pleasant and the service was really friendly

Great Italian restaurant, with special pizzas and other food offerings. Delicious Italian beer on tap, with humorous and friendly service. Highly recommended.

More than "Positive"" surprised!! Just got a table before Christmas!! We were greeted very warmly!! Service "at the table"" very pleasant!! Eat!! "" with starter!! and main course!! Very tasty 😋 We'd love to come back!! Price-performance!! 100% Wishes " to the entire team all the best!!

Great food, great prices. The service seems to have been a bit stressed but still nice. Ambiance is nice, especially outside. It could be a little more comfortable inside. Would love to come back.

Recommended by friends and thought it was great myself! Very nice restaurant with very tasty food! It's been a long time since I've had an extraordinarily great pizza and you can sit comfortably. But I can also recommend the lasagna and the tiramisu. We've been going there regularly ever since!

Tooles Restaurant in a small town in the Ruhr area. Good to very good seating and nice decoration. Good menu and lots of selection. Very good value for money

My favorite Italian. ;-) Family run restaurant. The family is welcome here. Great team!

Schon mehrmals hier gewesen, immer Toll, bis auf das letzte Mal, Abend mit Family, Wein wurde im Glas serviert, obwohl Flasche bestellt, als Vorspeise auch Gambas bestellt, nicht essbar, total versalzen und viel zu scharf, eine Hauptspeise wurde komplett vergessen🙈nein danke, alles sehr peinlich, Abend versaut…..

Ein großartiges, italienisches Restaurant mit einer wöchentlich aktualisierten Tageskarte und einer umfangreichen, regulären Karte. Lumache picante, Tagliatelle aus dem Parmesanlaib mit Trüffeln, Rinderfilet, hier ist alles empfehlenswert

Food is absolutely recommended, the quality of the stay suffers greatly from the lack of soundproofing in the rooms.

Friendly staff, good value for money and a large selection. However, it gets unpleasantly loud when it's full.

A super great service! The food is great! Boss and junior boss very nice!

The food was delicious, the service was very friendly and attentive Bruschetta very tasty and very reasonable for the price stuffed salmon with onion-mustard puree Tagliatelle with Manzo also very tasty Price performance is right👍

We went on a Saturday without a reservation. A table for two was made possible for us. Staff super nice. Food excellent. We come from Essen. But we're happy to take the journey!!!

A very nice restaurant. The food was very good and the service was perfect 👌🏼 we would be happy to come back

Ein wirklich toller Italiener, wir waren super zufrieden. Als Vorspeise gab es leckere Pizzabrötchen vom Haus, dazu haben wir ein üppig belegtes Foccacia bestellt - lecker. Auch die Pasta mit Steinpilzen und die Pizzen waren große Portionen und haben uns super geschmeckt. Der Service war ebenfalls sehr nett - was will man mehr ? In jedem Fall nur zu empfehlen !

Steak great. Service excellent.

A perfect house with delicious food and very capable and nice staff

Great restaurant! Great ambience! Great food! Great service! Real Italian flair! Absolutely recommended.

Great service and very attentive employees. For example, I had my jacket on for a while and they offered to turn on the heating for me. The pizza was very tasty. I'd love to come back.

Castrop Rauxel's best Italian restaurant. It won't be the last time we eat at this restaurant. I recommend everyone ☺️

We had a wonderful evening in this restaurant. From start to finish everything was just right. The service was attentive and friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. We especially fell in love with the tiramisu - it was by far the best we've ever tried! We couldn't help but order it for home too. We will definitely be back and are already looking forward to the next round of Tiramisu! Clear recommendation for everyone who appreciates great cuisine and first-class service!

Excellent service and great team! I have been a customer of Prima Fila for some time and have been impressed every time. The quality of the products is consistently top notch, but what really sets this place apart is the team. The employees are incredibly friendly, competent and courteous. You always feel well advised and welcome. Regardless of whether they have questions or special concerns, the employees always respond to the needs of customers and offer excellent service. It's nice to see that people are putting their heart and soul into the work here. I can highly recommend Prima Fila to everyone!

Great Italian food!! I went ate here everyday while in Germany. The waiters and owner are fantastic! 5 stars!!

Very cozy inside and out! Friendly staff! Good menu, top quality!

Great ambience and really good service! Thank you for the lovely evening :-)

The best Italian in Castrop! Absolutely recommended!

Everything was great, the food was first class.

I can fully recommend the restaurant, the food was very tasty and the staff was very friendly and accommodating

Very good service and great food

Very nice environment and very good service.

Great cuisine, fair prices and a pleasant atmosphere. The restaurant has been recommended to me several times and has now convinced me too

Delicious Italian dishes, gluten-free pasta available upon request. Nice seating inside and outside, very friendly and courteous staff, fair prices, top 👍🏼

Best fish soup I have found in the area so far. Quite expensive at just under €15. The rest (pizza/salad) was also good.

Very very tasty. Perfect. Always my pleasure....

Top service! Very good pizza and pasta!

My impression from the outside is very inconspicuous! So much attention to detail, not to mention the food...amazing...we were more than impressed with everything! The best Italian restaurant in Castrop-Rauxel! Period.

Thank you very much, great service, the food was incredibly good and I felt a bit like I was in Italy 🇮🇹. Grazie mille!

Bon giorno.. I'm surprised, good review. I experienced something different. Admit it. Late. In February I celebrated a special birthday there. I had the main course. Frutti di mare... What a disgrace... Leftover squid! ... And indefinable.. Without taste..never seasoned, let alone garlicky. When I mentioned this to, probably junior... Oh sound.*. I wouldn't eat it that way either, but my customers want it that way. Next time let me know and I'll do it for you.. Well, I didn't want to spoil the evening for my guests.. I stayed calm.. Their food, I'll be honest, wasn't great, but ok Not even a grappa, sorry.. I didn't have it done... Nevermind.. .

Authentic, cozy, truly Italian restaurant. Delicious food and friendly staff.

This is our first time here because good friends highly recommended the restaurant to us. It's just great, the food, the ambience and the service are just perfect. We will be back definitely.

Wir gingen ohne Erwartungen durch die Straßen des Viertels und fanden dieses Restaurant. Vorweg gab es Brot mit zwei Dips/Aufstrichen, die total lecker waren, dazu frisch gebackene Pizzabrötchen. Pasta und Pizza waren auch sehr gut und die Preis Leistung war auch super🤩

Good Italian, pizza is good, but the dough is not my thing. A matter of taste. Service good.

Very friendly staff, nice and inviting facility. The food is incredibly tasty 😋

A very nice taste experience! Service and staff TOP! Again and again. Thanks to Daniel🫡

Been here 20 times and have always had fantastic food and hospitality. ❤️❤️❤️

sensational food, great staff, nice ambience, you get something for your money here 💰. always my pleasure !

Our new favorite Italian!!! I have no idea why we haven't eaten there before. The food was super tasty and the portions will definitely fill you up. The starters and the main course were very good. The house wine was also very good. The bill was lower than expected for the quality of the food. The staff were very accommodating, but not intrusive at all. You can spend a lovely evening here! We'll definitely be back :-)

You get a lot for your money. Pizzas were fine.

Yesterday for the first time at Prima FILA, redeeming a birthday voucher. The four of us were all thrilled, the food was very good and the service was simply great. We will definitely be back, it was a great evening.

Great service and really nicely decorated. Pizza is super delicious The meat/fish dishes were ok, but very dry. I would offer smaller portions or a smaller selection of meat/fish. Because I'm happy to pay a little more for well-prepared dishes.

We were here for the first time today and definitely not the last time. The food was really very tasty and we are happy to have found a really good Italian restaurant. The waiters were very friendly and polite and did a good job. Our little one was kindly entertained every now and then and it was a nice lunch for us. 🍝😋

Mega good, delicious pizza, 🍕 painted like a picture. Just try the Margarita Pizza alone and you'll see what I mean. Best Pizza Castrop

Delicious food and very nice waiters. Can really be recommended!

Great atmosphere, good food, happy to have another mL

Rarely have I eaten such a delicious home-made meal these days. And perfect, attentive service to match.

The food was great, everything tasted very good, from the starter to the dessert, everything was great!! The service was very attentive and personable. A visit here is definitely worth it!! I'll be back 🥰

Heerlijk gegeten, bijzonder aardig personeel Super aanrader, ook vlotte bediening Bier ook super lekker Gezellige ambiance
