Trattoria Stella in Köln

I had the Rigatoni al Forno, my girlfriend had the Pizza Salami, and my son had the Pasta Carbonara – everything was absolutely delicious! The portions are huge, the prices are very fair, and the service is super friendly. Even though we didn't have a reservation, they still found us a table. Truly top-notch, 5 stars plus, we'll definitely be back!

Last Saturday, I was invited to a friend's 60th birthday party there. A beautiful restaurant, super good (and hot) food, attentive service, and a truly lovely, family-friendly atmosphere. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you

“Excellent service — very professional and friendly. The food was outstanding, especially the perfectly cooked dorada. Highly recommended! Grazie for the great evening!”

Amazingly delicious food, super friendly staff, and a truly cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended!

"A real gem! A small, cozy Italian restaurant with an incredibly warm atmosphere. The food is fresh, authentic, and simply delicious—like a mini-vacation in Italy."

Simply WOW! Great reception, fantastic service, and the food is amazing! The price/performance ratio is perfect, so if you want to enjoy a delicious meal without breaking the bank, you have to come here! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Super friendly service, idyllic location with delicious dishes. Finally, a really good pizza. We'll definitely be back!

It was delicious, I'll be back. Great service.

It was very tasty and very nice

Hi, I have been comming to Cologne 3.times for a year and this is just the best food and the best service I have had in Cologne. Thorhallur Ingi

Perfect food, impeccable service; you always feel welcome. I highly recommend it. And the prices are great!

We managed to get a table at short notice in the evening - very friendly and flexible service and super delicious food.

Very tasty food from a good host.

Super delicious food, very friendly staff, a really great Italian restaurant 👌🤗👍

Delicious food, authentic Italian, great service, would love to come back!

Cosy place with very good food and super friendly staff ❤️

A small Italian restaurant with very friendly service. The pizzas are quite large. They offer a variety of daily specials. There's relatively little seating inside. The price/performance ratio is reasonable. What I don't like is that they only accept cash payments. Very untypical for an Italian restaurant, and I always have a certain feeling about that. It's usually not just about €10 here...

As a family, we've visited Trattoria Stella in Junkersdorf four times and have been delighted every time. The food is always delicious and authentically Italian. The warm atmosphere is particularly noteworthy: The waitress from Stommeln and the owner, with their humor and relaxed manner, create a great atmosphere, making every visit not only a culinary experience but also entertaining. We received excellent service every time and are already looking forward to our next visit! ... even though we had a Düsseldorfer with us 🥴😜

Small but nice! With personal contact with guests and an eye for detail.

Highly recommended. Happy to come back!

Great restaurant – absolutely recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We had a great evening here! The food was delicious, fresh and prepared with a lot of love. The atmosphere is cozy and the service was simply top – friendly, attentive and always with a smile. You immediately feel comfortable. Definitely a restaurant we would love to come back to. Clear recommendation! 😊

Friendly welcome in a beautiful restaurant that looks inconspicuous from the outside. We enjoyed the pizzas. We will be happy to come back 😊

Really a nice, traditional atmosphere with authentic dishes. Super tasty, good, fast service. I'm already looking forward to the next time!🤩

Great location, very nice family contact, great food, that's how it should be. Grade 1

Small, charming trattoria with delicious, authentic Italian cuisine. Very friendly service and a great atmosphere. Absolutely recommended!

If you like good Italian cuisine and a family atmosphere, this is the place for you. Great, delicious food and very good value for money.

★★★★★ A real piece of Italy! A relaxing Wednesday evening turned into a little short vacation to Italy! As soon as you enter the restaurant you feel warmly welcome - the ambience is warm, cozy and authentic. The food? Simply heavenly! The pasta is al dente, the sauces are full of flavor and the pizza has a crispy base that harmonizes perfectly with the spicy toppings. I was particularly impressed by the freshness of the ingredients - you can taste the attention to detail. The service? Friendly, attentive and with real Italian warmth. Just the right mix of professionalism and relaxedness that rounds off the evening perfectly. A place where you can forget about everyday life and indulge in culinary delights. If you love Italian cuisine, you definitely shouldn't miss this restaurant! I'll definitely be back!

Top service and really good quality food. It's wow every time you eat with friends. The owner served us personally and was very nice. Food came very quickly and was really tasty. For me, Trattoria Stella is an insider tip in Cologne

Nice ambience, super delicious food and top service. I can only give it 5 stars. Always my pleasure

Trattoria Stella offers fantastic Italian cuisine with fresh ingredients and great taste. The staff is warm and courteous, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Italian food

I will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant! A clear recommendation for anyone who wants to enjoy real Italian cuisine in a relaxed but stylish environment.

A world class store. Service is always good, they know what they are doing. Food world class whether pizza noodle dishes or the great fish soup my God the sole on the choice of the house world class It's worth going there. In my opinion, price performance is still too cheap for the quality that is offered.

We had dinner here on Saturday evening. Brilliant food. My pizza was super big, tasty and crispy. Starters tip top. Service was great even though it was very busy.

Mega beautiful place, the nicest service in the world & really very good food!

Top shop, like the owners of the shop and the chef… because the food is really very good. Great taste, good ambience. Stopped by spontaneously based on a recommendation and were not disappointed :) Nothing with back cooked ham on the pizza!!! Really very tasty ham!

Very friendly staff and quick preparation of the dishes. Price performance is also right. Highly recommended.

Small but very cozy restaurant. Excellent service, great pizzas and reasonable prices. First of all, there is a greeting from the kitchen. The olives are great. Quite inconspicuous from the outside, but great atmosphere inside. Definitely worth a visit to convince yourself that further visits are worthwhile.

Everything tippi toppi mega rocket food 🥘 tasted world class leko fanni it was awesome 🚀🌈

Are there regularly and always enthusiastic about the food and the beautiful ambience. A small, cozy restaurant with excellent pizza and great pasta dishes. A very clear recommendation if you are in the area or are looking for a good Italian restaurant in Cologne. Nobody cares, but you can easily come and pick up your food.

Wonderfully delicious food, very courteous service, unfortunately a bit noisy when busy.

Very good quality - classic with finesse, very friendly service - has the makings of a “favorite Italian” reservation!

The dishes are super delicious and are only beaten by the outstanding service! We had a wonderful evening. Happy to come back!!

Great ambience, first-class service, delicious food! Any time...

Always friendly service, even with special requests, nice cozy atmosphere. Since it's always full, it's worth ordering in advance. If you come spontaneously, see what is possible. I can only highly recommend it. Last time I had a wonderful fried fish with crunchy, very tasty vegetables.

Very very pleasant. Everything with attention to detail. The food was delicious, the owner was very friendly. You should make a reservation.

Very cozy, very authentic Italian with good price/performance ratio and nice service. Always busy - table reservations recommended.

Totally beautiful and delicious. An insider tip for Junkersdorf.

Newly discovered, great food with excellent service. And a very interesting wine selection. I can only recommend. The owner is a cool guy.

Great service and the food is really great! I can only recommend

Wie haben mit insgesamt 21 Personen als geschlossene Gesellschaft die Konfirmation unserer Tochter im Stella gefeiert. Das vorbestellte 4-Gänge-Menü war ausgezeichnet, ebenso das gesamte Ambiente. Alles war so hergerichtet, wie wir es uns vorgestellt und vorher besprochen hatten! Wir fühlten uns willkommen. Wie sagte die Freundin meiner Frau so schön: "Ich fühle mich hier als Ehrengast!" Wir kommen jederzeit gerne wieder, ob im Rahmen einer Familienfeier oder auch einfach nur mal so im engsten Familienkreis. Dabei wichtig: Tisch reservieren!

Very warm and accommodating, the food was delicious 👍👍

Wow, I'm really excited. 😍 Great trattoria atmosphere! I tried my way across the map. Pizza very delicious, salad very fresh and the Italian classic Saltimbocca Romana served well and tasted just as excellent. Pasta Aglio Olio also very on point. I've been here before, but the new operators have now upped the ante. My new regular Italian when I'm in Cologne. Absolute recommendation! ❤️👍❤️

More is not possible! Thank you dear STELLA for an unforgettable evening! I celebrated a special occasion at Stella in a closed company with 21 people from young to old. From planning to invoicing, professional and at the same time warm-hearted support. Your creativity in choosing the menu in advance gave me confidence that the right thing would be on the table. The quality of the food (AntiPasto, pasta, fish, meat, asparagus, pizza) leaves nothing to be desired. Each course was a feast in itself! Always choose the right wine. Your hospitality was evident right at the reception: you live gastronomy and celebrate your guests! You approached all guests warmly, openly and always at the right proximity/distance and captivated everyone with the various aperitifs! And at the end you didn't look at the clock when the last people didn't want to leave on a Wednesday evening. The ambience speaks for itself: small and "awesome"... you set the long table so lovingly - it just fit! Added to this is the good timing between the courses... always enough time for the next course so that even unplanned speeches could be given: flexible and a lot of sensitivity in emotional moments. On behalf of all my guests, I would like to thank you (Oliver, Anna and Ivan) for a culinary perfect evening full of special moments! See you soon! Moritz

Were there for the first time last week...everything was so beautiful and delicious....will be back....finally a cozy little restaurant in Kölle....merci 🇫🇷isabelle and horst

It was our wedding anniversary yesterday and we wanted to have dinner at Stella's. Unfortunately there was an emergency with our dog, which meant we could no longer leave the house. We ordered food from Stella on site and picked it up. The food was really a dream, the service was really nice and courteous and the prices were completely reasonable for the quality and taste. The icing on the cake is that the owner even drove me home with the food because I had problems transporting all the food on my own. Stella will be our new regular restaurant :)

We ordered pizza, pasta and salad to take away. The food was very tasty! 😋

Very nice service, Saltimbocca had an indefinable dark sauce where the fat separated. It's a shame, because otherwise we tried very hard.

Trattoria Stella serves great food in a small, nice and cozy restaurant. Staff is extemely friendly and very authentic. Definitely worth a visit. Make sure to bring cash since they don't take card.

Wir sind aus dem Schwarzwald nach Köln in diese nette Trattoria. Service war super und das Essen sehr lecker. Unsere Empfehlung der frische Burata aus Italien und Tiramisu zum Dessert.

Saturday evening with three colleagues from a training course, strangers and hungry in the city, we were spontaneously given a very warm welcome and a table was made available for us. The staff is super friendly, took intolerances into account and served us incredibly delicious, freshly prepared food. Great Italian food meets pleasant Cologne hospitality. Everything is right here!

Leider nicht mehr das, was es mal war… das Herz fehlt, essen ok, macht aber in dem neuen Ambiente mit den neuen Besiitzern wenig Freude…. Schade!

I was there with a friend last week and we really enjoyed it! The service was attentive and very friendly and our food (both pasta) was great. The tiramisu was also a dream (thanks to the kitchen). The atmosphere is very cozy and furnished with love. We'll be back 😃

I ate there with two friends based on a recommendation and I have to say that their praise was understated! I had a Pizza Funghi and my friends had various pasta dishes, it was really great, I've rarely had such a good pizza. The wine was also extremely tasty, although we didn't even order the high-priced one. The restaurant is lovingly furnished and you immediately feel comfortable and welcome as soon as you enter through the front door. The service was courteous, friendly and funny, typically Rhineland-Kölsch. At the end there was a limoncello from the owners on the house. I will definitely come back and can really recommend this trattoria to everyone in all areas of the rating.

Found my absolute new favorite place! ♥️ A cozy little restaurant with charming owners. We went to the restaurant for the first time on Saturday. In a small group, we all ordered different dishes. Everyone was thrilled! Delicious! The waitress was very friendly, always smiled at us and told us a few funny things. Very, very great!! We'll definitely be back!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Small inconspicuous place. Yesterday before football in with a few friends. Nicely decorated, service really great. Recommendations would be made. Respond to requests. The starter and main course were all of perfect quality. Delicious rose wine. I think there were 5 bottles at the end 😁 make sure to reserve. An absolute recommendation.

Hier stimmt einfach alles. Wir kommen seit vielen Jahren nach Köln, auch alle 2 Wochen zum FC ins Stadion. Seit 3 Monaten haben wir mit der Trattoria Stella ein Restaurant gefunden, welches sich von der Küche, über das Personal den Chef mehr als nur für einen Besuch empfiehlt. Was die Köche aus der Küche zaubern, der absolute Wahnsinn. Neben der normalen Speisekarte, immer eine TOP Tageskarte, welche nach Absprache, so auf den Tisch gebracht wird, wie der Kunde es wünscht. Hierfür hat der Chef immer ein offenes Ohr und gibt gerne Empfehlungen an die Kunden weiter. Die Getränke, vor allem die Weine sind Top. Auch wenn wir gerne mal ein frisch gezapftes Kölsch trinken, so wird doch das Kölsch, wenn auch als Flaschenbier, immer frisch gekühlt ausgeschenkt. Wir fühlen uns in der Trattoria Stella so wohl, beim anstehenden Besuch wird schon der nächste Besuch fest reserviert, denn ohne Reservierung, ist es kaum möglich, einen Tisch zu bekommen. Das beste zum Schluß, die Trattoria Stella macht den Tag auch nach einem verlorenen FC Spiel trotzdem noch zu einem wunderschönen , erfolgreichen, genußvollen Tag.

I had dinner there on Saturday after mass. It tasted incredibly good. Everything was freshly prepared with love. The welcome was very warm and the atmosphere was very tasteful and cozy. I would definitely recommend anyone who is in the area to stop by. Many thanks to the great and lovely service and the entire team for a wonderful evening. I will definitely come again! Continued good luck!

Very good food and pleasant service, I would be happy to come back.

We hadn't been here in over a year and were delighted to learn that Stella had new owners. The place was full so the man and woman running the restaurant were very busy. Our dinner was fabulous (pizza, pasta, meat dishes) and served with warm attention. The other guests also seemed very happy with their food. I felt like the woman who served our table (Barbara if I remember correctly) went out of her way to make sure all of her customers were happy. Our dishes were all excellent, the Nero D'Avalo wine was moderately priced (compared to neighboring restaurants) and, above all, the service was excellent. You won't find better value for money within a 3km radius, so if you're in Junkersdorf be sure to book a table here. Good luck to the new owners!

A very nice evening with delicious food in a family atmosphere. Incredibly nice and committed hosts with a lot of heart and charm! Again and again!

War mit ein paar Freunden dort. Es hat uns allen super gefallen. Sehr leckeres Essen und freundliches Personal. Die neuen Restaurantebtreiber sind auch sehr nett und herzlich. Nächstes Mal gerne wieder!

Delicious, buonissimo, very attentive service, very nice boss. Keep it up, I'd love to come back.

Unfortunately no longer recommended. We used to go there often, but unfortunately the atmosphere is very unfriendly and not very service-oriented. The new owner is short-tempered, rude and makes you feel anything but a welcome guest! The pizza was still very good, the salad with chicken came uncommented with turkey instead of chicken and for me it was too much meat and not enough salad.

I'm still speechless - that's why I'm writing my second review in my life today. I have never experienced such outrageous, unbridled behavior from an employee (boss?). It's a shame because the pizza was very tasty...

Gäste sind hier unerwünscht. Das zeigte sich schon leider beim Betreten des Lokals. Man wurde nicht begrüßt und auch sonst meiden Gäste wohl das Restaurant. Es waren nur zwei Tische besetzt. Das Auftreten und Verhalten der vermeintlichen Chefin ist unakzeptabel. Da half leider auch nicht die leckere Pizza - wirklich sehr schade.

So schade! Wir waren jahrelang immer sehr gerne da, aber seit dem Besitzerwechsel ist es sehr leer im Lokal geworden und auch wir werden nicht mehr wiederkommen. Das Essen war zwar gut, die Pizza hervorragend, aber die neue „Hausherrin“ ist emotional aufbrausend, unbeherrscht und alles andere als Service orientiert. Wir waren zu fünft da und fragten, ob wir die Rechnung bitte teilen könnten woraufhin sie sich total aufregte, anfing zu schimpfen und sich persönlich von uns angegriffen fühlte. Es war irgendwie eine skurrile Situation, wir waren sprachlos und haben sie ungläubig angelächelt woraufhin sie dann total die Beherrschung verlor. Uns allen ist so eine Situation noch nie vorgekommen. Jeder kann ja mal einen schlechten Tag haben, aber diese Situation ging definitiv zu weit.

Thank you for the great food and a thank you to the service team 👍

Very pleasant atmosphere and a quiet but warm atmosphere. Team was super friendly and accommodating. You feel a little closer to Italian hospitality. The food was excellent. We ordered pizza, the artichokes were perfect, the cheese was just right and the pizza base left nothing to be desired. If I'm in the area again, I would come back here straight away, really great!

Great service great food Highly recommended

Great food and top service. Absolute insider tip!!

Unfortunately I have to delete my old 5* rating. The attempt to reserve a table failed the moment we said we had two children with us - before that everything seemed possible. This would never have happened under the old owners.

Unfortunately the star has lost its shine! After the owner changed, the restaurant lost its charm. The Cuomo family was the soul of “Stella” Everything has its time!

Super nette Bedienung, komplett unkompliziert und sehr lecker. Wir hatten aua Ravioli mit Salbei und Buttet als Vorspeise Vitello Tonato.

nice little pizzeria, despite many reservations we were able to eat spontaneously, pizza is recommended, desserts were also good, only: there was a small error on the bill

great authentic Italian cuisine. I have enjoyed coming here ever since I lived in Junkersdorf. I was absolutely thrilled with the new wine list! MEGA

Absolute recommendation in Cologne and one of my favorite restaurants. It is definitely advisable to make a reservation or call in advance. The trattoria is very comfortably furnished and the food is delicious. The new wine list really contains some great treasures. I'm also really excited about the pizza (also to go) and have never been disappointed here.

Hier kann man einen richtig schönen Abend verbringen, die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend! Das Essen ist hervorragend. Kann ich wärmstens weiterempfehlen!

Es war unser Lieblings Italiener, nun unfreundlich, Preise jeden Tag anders, Geschmack fade, Haare im Pizza Teig und Essen welches nicht geschafft wurde zu essen darf nicht eingepackt werden??

For the most part, our reservation was simply ignored on the grounds that a colleague had caused “chaos” and we were sent away. The food is very good and the male waiters usually make an effort. The female waiter is sometimes very rude and serves based on the popularity or importance of the customers. Often you wait a long time to be served because you are ignored. Other customers who seem to be known to the staff always have priority. Recommendation: with a Porsche ancestor and pretend to be someone, maybe you'll get a table 😂😉

Great little restaurant. Very tasty food and comparatively cheap. Clear recommendation!

We called and were allowed to spontaneously come over with 9 guests on Monday evening. Even though the store was already quite full, we found a nice space. We were warmly welcomed by a super lovely lady who served us sweetly and charmingly throughout the evening. The food was extremely tasty and, combined with the atmosphere in the small, cute restaurant, we had a really nice evening there. We would like to come again.

Sehr schönes Lokal mit freundlicher Bedienung und leckerem Essen.

Nette Menschen, gutes Essen - netter Ort zum gemeinsamen Speisen!

War zum ersten Mal dort und bin begeistert! Unglaublich netter und zuvorkommender Service! Auch das Esser von mir und meiner Frau waren hervorragend! 100% Wiederkomm Faktor!!👍

Lecker, leckerer, Stella! Kleine, feine Trattoria in Junkersdorf. Ich lieb's.

Super lecker und tolle Atmosphäre.

Wir sind auf Empfehlung für gute Pizza hier eingekehrt. Es war zur Mittagszeit und außer uns war nur ein Tisch belegt. Man kann nicht sagen dass der Service unfreundlich war, jedoch hatten wir am Ende das Gefühl, dass Gäste hier nach "Wichtigkeit" oder "Bekanntheit" bedient werden. Bei jedem Schritt hat man uns verhältnismäßig lange warten lassen und man kam auch so nicht an den Tisch um zu fragen, ob alles schmeckt oder ob es vielleicht noch etwas zu trinken sein darf. Gerade nach dem Verzehr der Vorspeise, haben wir irgendwann überlegt, ob man uns vergessen hat, da ja auch wirklich nicht viel los war. Das Bruschetta war wirklich lecker und der Pizzateig ist mehr als gut. Die Pizza selbst war leider überladen mit der Tomaten-Hackfleisch-Sauce (sie schwamm förmlich), die Garnelen auf dem Salat zwar lecker, aber für 18€ bzw. für einen Hauptgang eine Handvoll Salat...etwas wenig und auch nicht sehr abwechslungsreich in den Zutaten (zwei geschmacksneutrale Tomatenspalten, ein wenig Mais, Karotte und Zwiebel). Bei den beiden Garnelen, bei denen sich der Kopf bereits gelöst hatte, wurden die Kopfteile dann irgendwo auf den Salat gelegt (meiner Meinung hätte man sich das sparen können, denn so sah es eher unappetitlich aus). Schwierig wurde es dann nochmal bei der Bezahlung, denn ohne es gesagt bekommen zu haben oder es irgendwo geschrieben steht, kann man hier nur bar bezahlen. Vielleicht noch positiv anzumerken: die Toilette war sauber und roch angenehm.

Super schönes und gemütliches Restaurant. Es war die beste Pizza, die wir seit langem gegessen haben - sehr empfehlenswert!

Tolle Trattoria. Das komplette Team mitsamt der Bedienung harmoniert fantastisch. Essen top. Grazie

Sehr gemütlicher italienischer Laden mit netten Angestellten.Das Essen ist sehr lecker und man fühlt sich wohl.Gerne wieder
