TRATTORIA PUGLIA in Castrop-Rauxel

The mussels and tomato stock were tasty and sufficiently portioned. I thought it was a shame that no bread was served with it. Unfortunately, a lot of the brew went back.

There were two of us here and I have to say in advance that the “negative points” of my review are based on a high positive level. I also think it's a shame that you can't give half stars on Google. The preparation, presentation and taste of the food was very good and everything was to the point. If I mention Puglia in the name then I expect that more specialties of the region will be offered, such as Orecchiette. Service: Friendly and professional and attentive (speed of the food sequence) Top. 2 little things, next time I would like to be informed (like the table next door later) that there are also porcini mushrooms and what the fresh fish dishes are. Even if antipasti and the intermediate course are ordered to share again, we would also like to have extra plates so that we don't have to use the bread plates. Ambiance: typically high priced Italian. You should also think about how it will be received by guests who have reserved and are squeezed at the only table for two between two tables for four, where other guests had been given a table for four seconds before (other tables for four were also set for two). As I said, this is moaning at a high level.

Nice atmosphere, very good food, great service. It was a very nice evening with a 4 course menu.

Four of us were there last night and ordered different dishes. All the plates were empty because it tasted so incredibly good (homemade pasta, etc…). The service is also exceptionally good. We thank you for the perfect evening yesterday and say see you soon! We will definitely come back and highly recommend you!!!

A very nice atmosphere and very nice employees. Everything was perfect, fast service, no long waiting times. Very neat and clean. You can even have the rest packed up if you haven't managed to eat it all.

Too expensive. Pizza (18.80) does not correspond to the price-performance ratio.

Very good food and attentive service.

Delicious food and knowledgeable staff!

Great garden terrace, friendly service and excellent food, would love to come back

I have never eaten so well and simply enjoyed everything. Thank you for this great experience. Splendid.

Very nice restaurant, the decor and the beer garden do justice to a trattoria. Very good service. Simply eat 5 stars, from salad to pasta and meat dishes. Portions are a bit small, you won't feel full without a starter. But great dishes and menu.

One of the best restaurants we've been to a few times now. Yes, the prices are higher than in other restaurants, but the quality is also very good. We have always been very satisfied so far and would love to come back. The Zabaione, which is not always available, is particularly worth a visit. Absolute recommendation 👍

The food was really tasty but also had its price. We'll definitely go there again.

Nice beer garden, great ambience and good food with cheerful staff

So update We were there for the second time and, like the first time, very satisfied again in the beer garden of the restaurant Starter brusketta and octopus main course pasta with salcica and itl. steak medium doneness perfect dessert pistachio tart with espresso ice cream and zabaione with sorbet from the white chocolate service also top We were in the beer gate of the local ambience very nice service really good you can't actually pay the waiter friendly attentive had fun understood eat starters prawns in oil The daily offering included beef capaccio with truffles and salad, both very tasty bread and olives from the house main course Pasta pacheri with artichokes and vegetables very tasty From the daily special, whole grilled fish with rosemary potatoes and salad come again

Very friendly staff paired with tasty Italian cuisine

Only with reservation, otherwise you may not have space. Condition nice, food very good.

Paris in Castrop-Rauxel… ...at least in terms of prices. In fact, for the same pizza (salami, ham, mushrooms) in Paris (!!!) on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées (!!!!!) I paid €0.90 less than in this restaurant in Castrop-Rauxel, and the pizza was significantly bigger! (see my review of Cafe di Roma) Sorry, but €19 for a pizza is completely wrong! An Italian restaurant can certainly offer fine cuisine and charge a high price for it, but a pizza is and remains a pizza: dough, tomato sauce, toppings, cheese and costs around twelve euros maximum, at least in Castrop-Rauxel. We paid €75.50 for three pizzas, a coke, a water, a glass of open rosé, a large beer, a small beer. Inflation or not, that is clearly exaggerated. Of course you can find out about the prices before you go to a restaurant and admittedly we didn't do that here. But I just didn't expect that I would have to pay almost €20 for a pizza... because we're not in Paris. And in the end we stayed, even after reading the menu. Nevertheless, I would like to give the feedback here so that others might take a look at the menu beforehand and then decide. Aside from the outrageous prices, the pizza was good, but not the best I've ever had. What should be highlighted is the really, really nice atmosphere in the beer garden and the excellent service. Nevertheless: Although we would have liked to, we won't come a second time... because somehow you feel ripped off... without a view of the Arc de Triomphe.

We ate here with friends because of the many good reviews, but we weren't really impressed. The restaurant is comfortably furnished, but we found the prices too high for the food on offer. It was okay, but nothing special. Unfortunately that's not enough for 5 stars.

Six of us had dinner there yesterday. Everyone's opinion was that Puglia was top. The food, service and ambience are really good. The tables were well set, the service staff added the correct cutlery immediately after the order was placed, and they asked every now and then whether everything was OK. The wine was presented correctly etc. Kudos to all the staff, you are doing a very good job. Addendum We went to Puglia today for a birthday dinner with my parents. Everything was great again. The service, the food, the overall impression, everything was great. We would definitely like to come back.

Very tasty food, first-class service and a dream of a beer garden...

A lovely beer garden with delicious food and wine Can only be recommended

Great, authentic Italian cuisine. not the run-of-the-mill menu that you find everywhere. But of course there are also the “classics”. The quality - including the meat - is top, the taste is great and the host family is also nice.

Four of us ate there on Saturday. It was our first visit to the restaurant. The ambience makes a good impression at first glance, but at second glance you can see that e.g. B. the decorations on the windowsill are extremely dusty. We sat right next to the window, so you had to look at it. The same applies to the wooden cladding of the heating system. For the price of the restaurant, the atmosphere could be cleaner. The windows at our table also couldn't be opened. The air was very warm, unpleasant and stuffy. You won't find air conditioning there and the weather was too bad for the beer garden. We weren't 100% convinced by the service either; the friendliness was simply lacking. The employee tried to be professional, but that was it. However, the food was really good, both in terms of taste and presentation. I don't think we will eat there again. There were too many criticisms that we didn't like. For this price, there are other Italian restaurants where the overall package is also right. We'd rather visit these.

We had a very nice evening in the Tratoria on Saturday. The food was excellent. Only as the evening progressed did it get very warm in the restaurant. I couldn't find out whether the restaurant can be air-conditioned.

I was invited there for a friend's birthday. We were in the beer garden. Basically very good, unfortunately fine (wood) dust was trickling down from above. The winemaker said that this was just nature. I moved around the table. The food came very quickly and it was delicious. The prices are the same as in other restaurants. When it comes to drinks, it takes a while and you may have to remind yourself again. All in all a lovely and successful evening.

Food is really good and of good quality. Service definitely needs improvement in terms of friendliness, but professional. Nice atmosphere in the beer garden. Prices are suitable for Munich city center but not for Castrop Rauxel.

The food was once again very tasty and beautifully prepared. Your service is great. Very obliging. The beer garden is always a quiet, beautiful corner to linger. Up soon

Sat in the beer garden, great service and fantastic food. From the mixed starter platter to the saltimbocca and spaghetti with salciccia, fantastic. Again any time

Very tasty food and great service.

Our waiter Arda (I have no idea if I spelled that correctly 😃) has learned his trade and embodies perfect service that is worthwhile for the trattoria and guests. The food was amazing and super tasty, but the service from this dedicated waiter surpassed everything. Hard to beat when it comes to service and customer awareness. For a long time I thought it would be his own shop. We were there with about 15 people and felt absolutely comfortable. thank you for the great evening

High-quality, extensive menu, friendly service, helpful reservations

Spent a very tasty evening with a great ambience in the beer garden with very nice and competent service. All the ingredients are of very high quality and it was really tasty. It's a shame that at some point you'll get full. Keep it up! I can only warmly recommend Trattoria Puglia and its great team!

The service, very attentive and friendly, the atmosphere is very tasteful and the food (linguine from the cheese wheel with truffles and beef 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 very tasty, beautiful language. Thank you, I'll be back 👍👍👍🫶🫶🫶

A lovely evening with delicious food and friendly staff.

We loved the website and, as fans of Italy (Puglia), we went to Trattoria Puglia! Unfortunately we didn't get our money's worth so the food was way overpriced! The food is OK! But that was it! The wine list seems extensive but it isn't! Unfortunately, this restaurant has nothing to do with Puglia! We were just looking for a name that no one else had before! Charging €40 for a Tagliagta is already a number! Also the salumi platter for 2 pieces of cheese 2 slices of Copa, Motadella, and Salsiccia Calabrese €27.90?!?!? Hmmm well, my local, your local might justify it! However, why you can't exchange the side dish and the wine list doesn't say whether the wine is dry or semi-dry, which is then sold for €40 for a purchase of €5.50, is questionable! You pour into a half-full glass…..! Well overall we were very disappointed! A medium to moderate quality on a plastic tablecloth and garden chairs plastic rattan! There were strangers next to us even though there was enough space! Stupid for the operators that we were critics! We give it a nice 2 stars!!!!

June 2024: Great atmosphere, mixed starters very tasty, main courses as well. Delicious homemade noodles. Dessert is my highlight! Very friendly staff. Very quick preparation even though many tables were occupied. Clean sanitary facilities. Half a point deducted because it was quite expensive, especially the wine and starter. June 2022: Discovered by chance through a voucher booklet. Delicious. Very friendly staff. Starters, main courses, desserts and drinks top 👍. Salmon fillet awesome. Wines great. Hardly any waiting time. Anti Pasti a bit expensive. Lovely again!

An upscale restaurant but very 😋 tasty

The atmosphere outside is really great. The service was also very nice. My dish was okay but overpriced in terms of price. Unfortunately, the consistency of the pasta was not what I would expect from an Italian restaurant and was pre-cooked like the day before. I have to admit that I have eaten my dish cheaper and much better in other restaurants. It was okay but I wouldn't come back again because I know better restaurants. What annoys me now is that the card reader malfunctioned and I was asked to pay again. Lo and behold, now I have a surprise and it was debited twice. Now I can contact the bank and request a refund. Annoying. Hence star deduction. Edit: Since my bank wanted to clarify the matter with the restaurant personally, I wrote an email because the restaurant was closed for a few days. The answer is more than cheeky, although I wrote a fair review and also described positive things. During the phone call I was only asked if I had already clarified this with the bank, and the clerk also said yes. So I said this on the phone and an offer of a refund as stated in the email would not be discussed. I really hope that the reversal will take place and everything will go smoothly. We definitely won't come back again, especially after this cheeky answer!!

Exceptionally good Italian food, great ambience and nice attentive service.

Once again a lovely visit with great food and first-class service!

Everything is right here! We were here for the second time today and are absolutely thrilled. The food - from starters to dessert - is absolutely great. We eat out several times a week, but very few of them taste as good as here. By far our favorite Italian restaurant. By far the best pulp for me! And I've already tried many :-) The service is also great. Everyone is super friendly. We will, or are now, regular customers!!!

Very nice restaurant with really tasty food and good service. But you have to be aware that this is also reflected in the price.

We had a very, very nice evening with you today and the staff was very, very friendly and nice. The antipasti plate was very good, I didn't know it in that form before It was super great and delicious I'd love to come back.

Very good restaurant! Everything tip top Excellent food and service

Nice menu, friendly and attentive staff. Delicious food. We'd love to come back

A very successful evening. With good food and a great service team We'd love to come back.

A very lovingly decorated restaurant. Great food, very high quality and simply delicious. Service very accommodating. This will definitely be a regular place for us. However, the prices are quite high, but are okay for the quality and quantity.

Once again it was very good! From reservations to service and food, it's top notch. But it wasn't that well attended, it's probably due to the construction site in front of the door.

Excellent food, very nice and courteous service. Absolute recommendation.

Very pleasant staff, great service, the food was delicious. Only the music was a little too loud. But this is perceived differently by each individual

We had an excellent “carousel menu” there in February and will definitely be back.

A successful evening from start to finish. The food was a delight. The selected wines are fantastic. The atmosphere is super cozy. The service excellent. I haven't experienced such a cozy location in a long time. Before dinner, when the weather was finally nice, we were able to have our aperitif in the beer garden, which was not yet open and looked enchanted. We are already looking forward to summer. We'll stop by there often. The highlight was the Sardinian beer Inussa unfiltered, which we drank and loved on our trip to Sardinia. Probably the best Italian restaurant ever. Thank you very much for the culinary experience♥️♥️♥️🥂🍾

We chose the menu carousel and were totally thrilled. Great food great wine great service. We'd love to come back.

We had a very nice evening yesterday at Trattoria Puglia. Service was very attentive ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Food was very tasty, ambience was pleasant. We'd love to come back.

A dream of a restaurant in the heart of Castrop. We were there on the occasion of the menu carousel (4-course menu). The food was incredibly tasty, the service was simply great and the table was beautifully set. Only recommended!

Excellent food, great service - could order up and down the menu. Always happy 😊

Great food nice service. Everything fine.

Wow, soo good, a taste explosion. Really really good...

Update March 20, 2024 The trattoria has just reinvented itself. Everything has become a little quieter and more “dignified”. The new “Fine Dining” concept is a success. The menu offered (3 to 5 courses) was extremely tasty yesterday. The service was fantastic as usual. Particularly worth mentioning: One of us four guests has a gluten intolerance. A single note during the ordering process was enough. The kitchen implemented this perfectly for this person. -------------------------------- Original review from January 2024: Exceptionally attentive, competent and friendly staff. That doesn't happen often anymore. Thank you very much for the service. Good cuisine, as expected. All very tasty. No long waiting times. The distance between the aisles depends on the wishes of the guests. Price structure slightly high but reasonable in every respect. Was a perfect evening. Gladly again.

Good food, good service with delicious variations

Everything went well that evening. We had the vegetarian and classic menu from the carousel menu. We'll definitely be back. However, we like to eat early ~5:30 p.m., after 7 p.m. the restaurant became full and therefore louder.

Always delicious. Menu carousel is simply great.

The food was very tasty, even though the pizza wasn't baked directly on the stone. Unfortunately we came across a very bad-tempered waiter. When we didn't immediately understand the 3-course menu and how the courses were composed, we didn't get friendly advice but rather training from a senior teacher. Unfortunately we didn't get a 3rd glass for the large bottle of water for 3 people, a 3rd plate for greetings from the kitchen and there was no cutlery for the third person. The greeting was also not served in the middle. I was given the dips and my partner was given the bread basket. In the end, the waiter was apparently so annoyed with us that he stopped serving us. In any case, the colleagues were nice and helpful. Despite everything, a good shop and the owner doesn't deserve a bad rating because the waiter didn't meet the requirements. Would love to come back

The service staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The food was great both in terms of quality and quantity. We'll definitely be back.

Great dishes that change seasonally and friendly, attentive staff

There were two of us there and we really enjoyed it.

The food is delicious, the staff is extremely friendly, it was nice as always.

Great food and drinks, cozy space and super friendly service staff!!! We (4 people) had a wonderful evening👍🏼

Nice restaurant with great and not intrusive service. Food top. Pizza Calzone with tuna took some getting used to for me, but was super tasty and juicy. Gladly again

A very good Italian. The menu carousel was excellent. Even a la carte it is always worth a visit. Very great restaurant.

AMAZING! We come to germany every year on vacation, but the food is always a problem. The kid ate everything, super tasty, excellent service. We will be back soon, thank you!

Great ambience. Very tasty food with very good quality at reasonable prices. Particularly noteworthy is the super friendly and attentive service! :-)

So far we have always eaten the delicious pasta, this time it was supposed to be pizza. We were totally thrilled. For dessert we had a heavenly chocolate soufflé. Always my pleasure. And as soon as the temperatures allow it, we go outside again to the great beer garden.

Were there for the menu carousel. The table was very nice, the food was excellent! Everything was carefully and beautifully presented and also something special for an Italian restaurant. The wines were good and had quality. The only small point of criticism: the service was a bit inattentive towards the end. So the waiting time for the last course and also for the bill became a bit very long. It would also have been nice to ask whether a refill could be given again. Still a wonderful evening! We'll definitely come back.

Great place. Everything was great and a menu carousel with a great wine selection. Highly recommended!!!!!!!

We had a lovely evening. The food was very tasty, the service was friendly and attentive. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

If you have the opportunity to dine outside, you can enjoy an absolutely cozy atmosphere in the rustic garden. We will then use the indoor area in the colder seasons. Nice staff and very appetizing dishes. One drawback is the composition of the pizzas, which you only have to order according to your own wishes. Depending on the toppings, a "normal" pizza can quickly cost 20 or more and therefore exceeds the price of a pizza at the golf club on Timmendorfer Strand, which I find to be definitely too expensive. Even though it tasted very good. You should perhaps rethink this system and include some “common” pizzas on the menu. Otherwise a top restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Addendum: There are now also some “common” pizzas on the menu. Thank you very much.

Hab mich schon lange nicht mehr so abgezockt gefühlt.

Wildschwein mit Polenta genossen. Die Polenta ist mal anders, fein und sehr geschmackvoll. Sie kommt dem Stampf nahe. Eine gelungene Komposition

Immer wieder sehr gut.Hier stimmt einfach alles.Service,Essen einfach alles Top.

Hab mich schon lange nicht mehr so abgezockt gefühlt.

Speisen in Castrop-Rauxel: Gut - besser - Trattoria Puglia! 👍 Auf Einladung meiner Lebensgefährtin haben wir beide das 4 Gänge Überraschung-Menü (Kulinaris Card) mit einer Flasche Weißwein (Grauburgunder), vorab einem Prosecco , einem begleitenden Wasser und einem abschließenden Grappa bestellt. Meine anfängliche Skepsis in Bezug auf „Überraschung-Menü“ war sehr schnell überwunden, die Erwartung wurde mehr als übertroffen! Wir wurden sehr freundlich und professionell bedient, die einzelnen Speisen des 4 Gänge Überraschung-Menü waren toll angerichtet und haben hervorragend geschmeckt; kein Wunsch blieb unerfüllt. Wir haben einen wunderschönen Abend verbracht! Vielen Dank! Bis bald!

Waren mit unserem Sohn dort essen und waren rund um zufrieden. Besonders hervor heben kann man nichts da alles wirklich super war. Essen super lecker, keine lange Wartezeit, verdammt höflicher Service sowie Preis-Leistung klasse. Weiter so, wir kommen gerne wieder 😊

Habe mit meiner Enkeltochter super gegessen. War echt schön...

Das Essen ist toll aber leider auch nicht ganz billig. Ob Anspruch und Wirklichkeit hier 100% aufeinanderpassen - ich bin da zumindest ein bisschen hin- und hergerissen. Das Flair ist jedenfalls gefühlt sehr italienisch und passt vielleicht deshalb nur bedingt zu meinen deutschen Ideen von Gediegenheit. Partiell zielt es mir - wie kann man das sagen - etwas zu sehr auf "in-location". Andererseits ist es aber auch nicht so verkrampft schickimicki, dass es unangenehm wäre. Der Service ist nett und aufmerksam, der Chef macht nen umgänglichen Eindruck und die Weinkarte ist für mich als Laien durchaus beeindruckend. Für Geschäftsessen, zum Mädelsbeeindrucken oder auch für nen etwas gehobenen, netten Familienabend absolut geeignet. Im Sommer ist der Biergarten auch n echter Geheimtipp. Für die schnelle Pizza zwischendurch würde ich, u.a. angesichts der Preise allerdings eher abraten.

Ich hatte leider Fisch mit auf dem Teller der schon duftete und so schmeckte er auch der Rest war ok, und Bruschetta ohne Zwiebeln war nicht möglich?

War OK. Aber nicht so toll das ich öfter dorthin gehen würde. Hauptspeise ein bisschen lieblos.

Leider konnte dieses Restaurant aufgrund seines Services nicht überzeugen. Aufgrund von Erkrankung mussten wir kurzfristig die Personenzahl reduzieren, was zur Folge hatte, dass diese Tatsache als Argument dafür genutzt wurde, wieso es für das Restaurant in Ordnung sei, dass Essen erst falsch (kann passieren) und dann irgendwann, sehr spät, zu servieren. Wohlgemerkt handelte es sich um 4 Gerichte mit Fleisch (3 davon mit unterschiedlichen Garstufen aber immer das Gleiche) und einem Nudelgericht. Das Nudelgericht wäre zudem auch nur zu spät gekommen, da ich es ja nicht scharf wollte. (Was ich bei meiner Bestellung erst erfragt und dann folglich bestellt habe): Als wäre das eine Rechtfertigung warum das Gericht auch erst 15 Minuten nach Eintreffen der ersten beiden Gerichte gebracht wurde oder als hätte ich mit diese Information spontan einfallen lassen. Jedenfalls ist die verminderte Anzahl an Personenzahl für das Servicepersonal die Rechtfertigung für zu spät und falsch gebrachtes Essen. Frei nach dem Motto „was ihr könnt, dürfen wir auch“. Mit erkrankten Personen in ein volles Restaurant an Weihnachten zu kommen wäre bestimmt die bessere Alternative gewesen….Man gab uns die Möglichkeit zur Verbesserung die Geschehnisse zu erläutern. Leider vergeblich, da es sich bei dieser Konversation auch nur um Rechtfertigungsversuche handelte. Wie auch immer. Essen war ok, Service leider nicht gut.

Man braucht nicht viele Worte, einfach nur lecker.

Ich habe eine sehr leckere Pizza mit fluffigem Boden gegessen. Die Einrichtung gefiel mir sehr gut und das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend. Ich freue mich im Sommer schon auf den wunderschönen Biergarten.

Sehr schö e dekorierte Räumlichkeiten. Rustikaler Stil. Sehr hübsch...Ich bin im Sommer auf den Biergarten gespannt

Freundlicher, aufmerksamer Service. Trotz voller Auslastung keine langen Wartezeiten. Speisen gut zubereitet, ansprechend angerichtet, sehr schmackhaft. Eine sehr angenehme Erfahrung!

Gehört sicher zu den besten italienischen Restaurants der Stadt. Sehr gut auch für Vegetarier geeignet.

Einfach voll lecker Service super nett

Sehr schöner Abend mit super schmackhaften Essen und sehr netten Personal. Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen

Sehr gemütliches Restaurant, die Bedienung freundlich und aufmerksam und das Essen sehr lecker. Immer wieder gerne

Sie möchten freundlich verwöhnt werden? Richtig hier! Sie möchten in allen Gerichten und beim Wein verwöhnt werden? Richtig hier! Preise fair und das Ambiente wie es beim Italiener sein soll! Meine Empfehlung! 👌

Schönes Ambiente und leckeres Essen. Aufmerksamer Services mit guten Empfehlungen für das Essen. Gerne wieder.

Wie immer ein Genuss. Auch meine Kinder wissen langsam den Genuss der ausgezeichneten italienischen Küche zu schätzen! Wir freuen uns schon auf den 2. Weihnachtsfeiertag!
