Trattoria del Sole in Ratingen

very good food, good service, we will come again, recommended

Good food, good service, we will come back soon to eat excellent food

The most outrageous act I've ever experienced! You're in another city over New Year's Eve - you book a table six weeks in advance and receive your reservation confirmation immediately. On the evening of your booking, you stand outside the restaurant only to find that it's closed! A call to the number provided was the icing on the cake. They told us the restaurant was closed and that they hadn't accepted any reservations. The only strange thing is that they have the reservation confirmation (see photo!!) It couldn't be more dubious!

So, we received a super-friendly welcome, the food was delicious, and we'll be back! I have no idea why some guests wrote something different about the restaurant in their reviews 🤷‍♀️. Thanks for the lovely evening!

These bad reviews are unbelievable. It's good that I'm forming my own opinion. I've tried the food, and folks, go there yourself or have it delivered. The food is super delicious, everything fresh. The service is very friendly, another aspect that's unfortunately often lacking. I highly recommend this restaurant. We'll be happy to come back.

I've been there twice now and would love to come back. Delicious food, fast and friendly service, and always the option to choose from a variety of daily specials. The prices are absolutely reasonable, too. The pizzas, spaghetti, and meat were all great 👍🏻

On my first visit in summer 2022: Warm welcome, very good quality food. Very pleasant atmosphere! 5* Now in May 2023: Unfortunately, long wait times, bored service. Called at 6:00 PM, ordered a pizza for 7:00 PM, and still waited 25 minutes. 2* The owner should improve this as soon as possible!

The worst thing about this restaurant is their fake website and my negative review. I was so disappointed with everything there that the restaurant even deleted the review the very next day. Please don't eat there, sorry, but I've never experienced anything like it in my over 60 years of life. Pure horror.

One star is too many! We were looking forward to a lovely, cozy, and delicious evening and were bitterly disappointed. Despite having a reservation, the restaurant was not prepared for our arrival. A table for our number of guests had to be frantically and hectically pushed together. A garden chair was brought inside from the cold because there wasn't enough seating inside. The drinks arrived relatively quickly. However, the waitress meant well, and three drinks spilled over when they were placed down. No cleaning? No chance! We ordered various pizzas and pasta dishes, all of which were served one after the other. The first of us were already finished by the time the last pizza was served. This was met with a smile from the waitress... The taste of all the dishes fell completely short of our expectations. The Pizza Diavolo came as a Margarita with three small slices of salami. The pepperoni advertised on the menu was missing. When asked, they were told they were mixed in very small pieces. I looked for them: there wasn't a single pepperoni on the pizza. The spaghetti aglio e olio, which listed cherry tomatoes, was also missing cherry tomatoes. We asked about this, too. The waitress explained that it was a misprint on the menu. The restaurant ALWAYS prepares its spaghetti aglio e olio without cherry tomatoes (?!). The waitress constantly justified herself and tried to excuse the shortcomings: Other days, it's not like this; the pizza always tastes good, only today it's a bit oily... It was no better at other tables. The first people left before their food arrived, others didn't get any food at all because they ran out of pizza dough. When the card reader finally didn't work and we were asked to pay in cash, the waitress just asked, irritated, whether we hadn't been informed of this when we made the reservation. NO, when we made our reservation two weeks ago, we weren't informed that the card reader wouldn't work today... The pathetic attempt to connect the device to the Wi-Fi failed after the attendant dropped it. This evening was the perfect scenario for a hidden camera.

Based on the positive reviews so far, we reserved a table for 9 people two weeks ago for Saturday, December 9, 2023, at 7:00 PM. We arrived on time, but nothing was prepared. We helped set up the tables and then ordered. Different cutlery from different eras lay on the table. When ordering drinks, we noticed that there seemed to be only one Pilsner glass. The waiter's explanation was, "All the other Pilsner glasses were broken." Oh well, well, you'll just drink your Pilsner from a soda glass then... We were hungry and had an appetite, so we ordered the appetizer and main course. After 30 minutes, we were told they were out of vitello tonnato. After 40 minutes, the carpachio arrived, not thinly sliced, but schnitzel-thick... And at 8:30 PM, the main course arrived. The pasta we ordered with cherry tomatoes wasn't on our plates. The waiter's explanation was "there's a typo in the menu"... The pizzas we ordered were inedible and dripped relentlessly with oil when we lifted them from the plate. It was simply unappetizing and inedible. I had only ordered half a Margherita pizza as a precaution, as my expectations were already negative upon entering the restaurant, and unfortunately, they were confirmed from start to finish. At the next table, I noticed that three guests had also ordered pizzas around 8:00 p.m. The waiter then informed them around 8:45 p.m. that they were out of pizza dough... None of us (9 people) enjoyed our food, and the waiter had the opportunity to limit the damage at any time. What did she do? She even offered dessert in this difficult situation... amusing. We then, for understandable reasons, decided to forgo dessert and wanted to pay. Since we all live in the digital world, we wanted to pay with an EC card. Then, and only then, did the waitress announce that the Wi-Fi wasn't working and that we had to pay in cash. We then asked why we weren't informed of this upon entering the establishment. The waitress then said that if we didn't pay in cash, she would call the police... Of course, we paid in cash for—I don't know how to describe it—that evening in that room with its hot and cold conditions, and we will never enter that room again. I find it completely inexplicable that there is a single positive review. Unfortunately, you have to give at least one star to rate it. 0 stars would be more justified, however, given the room and the service. What a shame about the journey and the wasted time.

Auf der Suche nach einem Restaurant in unserer nähe, entdeckten wir das Trattoria del Sole. Meine Frau bestellte sich die Spezialität Spaghetti Carbonara, unser Dreijähriger Sohn aß mit mir zusammen eine Große Pizza Salmone e Spinaci. Beide Gerichte waren unbeschreiblich lecker. Wir sind so fasziniert von diesem Restaurant und deren Gast Freundlichkeit, dass wir beschlossen haben das Restaurant am kommenden Samstag erneut zu besuchen! Wir empfehlen das Restaurant auf jeden Fall weiter!

Nettes Personal, gute Auswahl und prima Essen!

Heel toevallig dit restaurant bezocht op een tennisbaan vlak langs de snelweg en beste mensen, wat een verrassing! Vriendelijk personeel en een alleraardigste kok die fantastische gerechten tevoorschijn tovert! Naast de kaart met veel al pizza’s een kaart vol dagverse producten. Dorade met risotto of een heerlijke pasta kip met veel groenten. De ambiance is wat oubollig maar ga er zeker eten voor een goede en betaalbare Italiaanse diner!

Sehr leckere Pizza und knackige Salate 😊🙏🏻

Sehr sehr leckeres italienisches Essen. Top Personal. Gerne wieder!

Einfach nur perfekt! Das Restaurant haben wir das erste mal besucht und waren begeistert. So lecker und so liebevoll angerichtet! Es war schon fast zu schade diese wunderschön dekorierten Teller anzufassen und zu essen. 🫢 Abgerundet haben das alles aber die Restaurantbesitzer und das Personal. So sympathische und liebe Menschen. Wir kommen jetzt öfter! 🫶

Unglaublich lecker. Ab sofort Stammgast 🫠

Heerlijk gegeten bij deze Italiaanse uitbaters! Ook voor Nederlanders op weg naar huis een ideale plek om heerlijke italiaanse gerechten te eten! Very good food! You must go here!
