Vapiano in Kaiserslautern

Food mediocre, very small portions. Shop including toilets very dirty

This Vapiano is beautifully decorated and offers a classic selection of Italian dishes. What bothered me about the food was neither the quality nor the preparation, but the portion size was a bit small for the price.

We came specifically from Saarbrücken on Sunday June 16th because the Vapiano there was unfortunately closed. As Italians, we have to say that Vapiano has by far the best pasta and, above all, you can't find homemade pasta anywhere else. We were there very early and were warmly welcomed with our two children in the stroller and taken to the elevator. To our surprise, there were even 2 play areas (I haven't seen them in any Vapiano before) and, coincidentally, on Sundays there were also 2 children's menus for free. The food was great as always (1 star deducted only because of the lack of salt in the pasta or perhaps in the pasta water?) Also, instead of the usual garlic oil, a whole clove of garlic was cut into the sauce. But regardless, the visit was worth it. Everyone was happy. Mom and Dad could eat in peace while the children had fun. And the man/coordinator present was really very friendly and helpful. We will be back !

I only give 3 stars for the service because you can't order the side salad from the pasta counter. So you first have to go to the salad counter and then to the pasta counter. Otherwise the noodles will get cold

People enjoy sitting here. In Kaiserslautern everything was always delicious and fresh. In some other cities I didn't have such good experiences with Vapiano. But Vapiano Kaiserslautern is a recommendation!

We were there for the first time. We didn't know the concept. At the entrance we were asked if we had been there before. We were given the cards and told that the order would be taken and paid for at the end. However, we didn't know it was self-service. We waited at the table for a while but nothing happened. None of the 5 employees came over to enlighten us even though there was nothing to do and everyone was standing together talking. We then went to the counter to order ourselves. What was negative was the hygienic conditions. At the counter, the grease on the bar dripped several meters from above (onto my hand and card reader). It was then removed by the employee after being informed. Our table was also unpleasantly greasy. On the toilet, the edge of the vanity was swollen with water and the bar was completely missing. Overall unhygienic. The food (pizza) had a crust that was much too hard and the colder the pizza got, it was difficult to bite through. Here I would suggest sending quality assurance over from time to time.

Very bad food...we'll never go there again.. Unfriendly team at that. Pooh

A very beautiful place, great atmosphere and excellent service staff. We received a service that could not be obtained in any establishment, the chef himself came out and helped us choose dishes.

Unfortunately completely overpriced. The prices are not appropriate for the self-service concept and the quantity and taste of the food. We had a pepperoni pizza and a lasagna and very disappointed. The atmosphere was generally quite pleasant, but the floor and tables were very dirty. The employees only had a shaky command of the German language, which made communication difficult.

Play area for the kids with draft beer, what more can you ask for? If you’re stopping by the mall with toddlers, stop by here and let them play with the hand me downs. Also plenty of room.

I ordered pasta and had to throw up all night long. I've never felt so sick after eating something like I did that day

Excellent service. Friendly staff. Delicious food!! Highly recommended.

Although there wasn't much going on, our starters were forgotten and they weren't ready until after the main course. You can safely give yourself the lasagne al forno; Apart from a lot of béchamel sauce and cheese there isn't much. The meat portion is homeopathic. The tomato cream soup is not fresh, but made with pureed canned tomatoes and is not really good.

Eating pizza Burati now, and I rushed to rate out of disappointment. It is overpriced and tasteless!

I address the observations during my visit regarding the staff, inventory and food directly to the manager. I hope my message leads to quick action.// update: after a good (constructive) phone call, I'm very excited to see what changes will happen here.

My first time eating here at Vapiano, the staff are very nice, food was actually good. My to go lunch place from now on whenever I'm at the mall.

The gluten free pinsas (pizza) are ok. Although they claim to have gluten free pasta, the only selection is really just zucchini noodles. But I'm grateful that they even care about gluten allergies - which is more than most restaurants in Germany do.

The food was good, pasta Al dente. Highly recommended.

Pleasant surprise! Really good pasta, and quick service! Greta Italian food.

😉👍.....Great, great location in the heart of KL!..... Delicious dishes with top quality and a perfect price-performance ratio! .... L'ets rock Vapiano! 🤣

Friendly staff. Nice area. Culinary herbs are on the table. My favorite part of this restaurant is that you can choose separately the pasta. Of course an offer is already given: for example Carbonara with Spagetti. I highly recommend you to visit this restaurant, if you want to eat some good pasta, salate or pizza!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Vapiano in Kaiserslautern and I have to say I was impressed! The ambience was inviting and modern, and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The selection of dishes was varied and freshly prepared. I particularly liked the fact that you could have the dishes freshly prepared on site. The quality of the ingredients was excellent and the flavor combinations were delicious. All in all, I had a fantastic experience at Vapiano Kaiserslautern and would recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable and tasty meal. Many thanks to the Vapiano team!

Mice! Unfortunately, mice were running around under our table and chairs during our stay at Vapiano Kaiserslautern. I find this intolerable and it was no longer possible to eat with a clear conscience. We won't come back!

Causal Italian restaurant for the whole family, chill spot with your shopping friends or come a grab a meal by yourself - either way their staff is friendly and helpful, food is made fresh to order and the prices are reasonable. We also found that most of the staff speak English. Great people watching place too!

Even though the quality has declined, we still enjoy eating here

Enjoy your meal. Professional service. Affordable prices... As always 🙂👍

The food was very tasty. But I had to queue at three stadiums (pasta, salad and wine) and it could definitely be better.

You can make a great system with the card. But when it comes to pasta, I prefer a real Italian restaurant. There's just mass here. Prices relatively high for the quality. The furnishings are nicely kept.

Always nice to go there spontaneously with friends or alone when you wanna have pasta or Pensa .nice atmosphere and friendly staff

Many products not available. Unfriendly service. No tomato soup, no beef. Shame...

Very tasty food! Happy to come back 👍

Good food and very good atmosphere

The concept of self-service does not match the prices. However, food is recommended.

Terrible! And I'm really a gifted Vapiano goer, I even went to the Vapiano in NYC. The food here is a super disaster! I had a salad “Mista” with chicken. Here I wasn't even asked whether the meat should be fried with garlic and chilli, nor was I asked whether everything should be added to the salad. The 3 men behind the counter spoke Arabic and stared at me. My cucumbers in the salad were already sour! Unbelievable and even when I said I only wanted a little balsamic dressing, the dressing, 2 ladles, was slapped on me. The tomato soup that I then ordered was brought from the back office and added water. I have never had a meal like this in any Vapiano in the last 20 years. I left my food there. In any case, I'll never go here to Kaiserslautern again.

Nice place to eat aldente pasta, fast and cheap.

It was the first time there and not the last 🥰🥰🥰

Fabulous restaurant 5 stars all round, pizza, pasta all cooked fresh to your personal order. Service is 1st class. A definite must visit if in Kaiserslautern

Super delicious FOOD AND VERY NICE AMBIENCE

I liked the ambience, a better Vapiano. I wouldn't drive here specifically for food, but if you're nearby and want to satisfy your hunger, you're actually in good hands here. It's cool that there are finally zoodles here, they were a bit watery but tasted good.

Food was good. But to whoever hasn’t been there before, it could be confusing how the service works. It would be nice if the host asks the customers first if they know how the dynamic works.

Experience was so so. Honestly, it's better to go to a local real (!) Italian restaurant instead.

Great for the price, fast, and it was nice to see the different chefs joking with each other. Really made for a friendly environment.

A pretty decent Italian place to eat. The cooks and servers all spoke Italian so thats good right? The way its set up is you choose from three different stations based on what you want. Food portions were decent and it was delicious after all. Well worth a shot.

Unser Essen war prima. Die Zubereitung ging relativ zügig. Die Nudeln al dente, die Mitarbeiter freundlich. Die Preise waren noch okay. Nicht so schön waren die Tische und Bänke/Stühle ,es lag noch was vom letzten Besucher drauf und der Tisch war verschmiert. Leider sah der Nebentisch auch so aus.

Abzockerladen! Mir wurden 2 Essen berechnet obwohl ich nur eines gegessen habe. Bei der Reklamation an der Kasse wurde ich nicht ernst genommen und ich musste alles bezahlen.

By far my favorite Italian restaurant in the K-Town area. Vapianos is an absolute must visit if you’re in the area. I’d recommend the Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara!!

Keine langen Schlangen, Pasta war lecker und die Portion ausreichend.

Always feel comfortable. Enjoy my food too .

Gutes Preis. -Leistungsverhältnis, immer wieder lecker,frisch zubereitet schmeckt es am besten😋ein Besuch lohnt sich immer

Alles top, sauber,frisch, lecker.

Das Essen kann ich nicht beurteilen, da ich dieses Mal nichts gegessen habe und das letzte Mal schon länger her ist. Das Personal war freundlich. Ambiente hätte noch Luft nach oben. Ich finde es teilweise etwas ungemütlich.

Eine vegane Pinza, die dann doch vegetarisch war, wurde anstandslos in eine vegane umgewandelt und die "verkehrte" blieb auch am Tisch und wurde nicht einfach weg geschmissen 👍🏻

Wer frisch zubereitete Nudeln mag, Semi-Selbstbedienung und freundliches Personal

Vapiano has a cozy vibe and quite a few seating options. The food is also very good!

I love the concept of having your dinner made in front of you. They have a good selection of pasta, pizza, gnocchi and salads.

Average chain restaurant food. Fun atmosphere. Food is fine- not outstanding.

Delicious! Had the pasta carbonara with bacon and chicken. Vibrant, amazing flavor. The bread is also very good, even with nothing on it. Thanks to the chef for a great meal and for the recommendation! Hope to be back.

Vapiano is overall a good restaurant, with live cooking stations, pleasant ambiance, and wide seating arrangements. Pastas are a highlight as whatever you choose (linguini, fussili, penne, etc) it is homemade! Whether an office gathering or hanging out with friends it is an ideal and reasonable place. It's totally recommended!

Also wirklich nicht zu empfehlen. Schmutzig am Tisch, alter Basilikum mit trocknen schwarzen Blätter. Nudeln trocken, nicht gewürzt, Salz und Pfeffer steht ja genug bereits gestreut in der Schale - nicht appetitlich!! Sorry, bin bedient.

Meine Spaghetti,waren super lecker.. Der nette Koch ,hat sich was besonderes für mich einfallen lassen.Alles frisch zubereitet,,👍🏻

Nice dimmed atmosphere and food was good, but don‘t expect authentic Italian food. Fast-food vibes. Self service, staffs were cold and not so welcoming. To order, the cooks were more busy chatting with one another than attending custumers(Only one of the cooks were attentive), also uncomfortable chairs. Overall an okay experience, but not the most enjoyable.

Frisch zubereitete Speisen zu fairen Preisen.

Always good food out of here, plenty of seating and always clean

Nicht unbedingt der Hit aber der Hunger treibt es rein... Essen sehr kostspielig und Teller nicht sonderlich groß, Auswahl aber okay

Immer wieder ein leckerer und gemütlicher Aufenthalt. Das Essen ist frisch und super lecker 😋.

Jídlo vám připraví přímo před vámi. Vše máte pod kontrolou. They prepare your food right in front of you. Everything is under your control.

I went here slightly right before 1300 so it was pretty empty and super relaxed. I don't know how new this restaurant is but it's definitely a hidden gem. Food was definitely worth it and the cooks are very friendly. Great restaurant!

I am still amazed by how great the food is here. First time back in about 4 years, and I still enjoy coming here. Very well lit and welcoming atmosphere with great service. I personally dont mind waiting for my food when i get to see it being cooked in front of me.The food was fantastic, and I left full and satisfied. Normally, my go-to is the Chicken Alfredo, but I went with the beef and broccoli with brushcetta. Overall, I can't wait to go back.

Food is great and quick service.

Been here too many times to count. Love vaps! They make the pasta right in front of you, it’s a different experience, sometimes takes a little bit longer because of that lol. They have pizza, pasta, soup, salad, sides of bread. They also have a bar on the opposite side from the pasta to order drinks, alcoholic, coffee, etc.

Si tratta del classico Vapiano, questa volta situato nel centro di Kaiserslautern. Il locale è molto bello, il cibo di media qualità più o meno soddisfacente a seconda del piatto scelto. Purtroppo sono rimasto deluso dal fatto che abbiano cambiato la mia insalata preferita (Nizza o Nicoise), sostituendo patate e fagiolini con cetrioli e rucola. Pessima decisione.

Das Essen war in Ordnung, alles andere war unangenehm. Das Restaurant war überhaupt nicht beheizt. Weshalb Pizzen komplett gestrichen wurden ist mir ein Rätsel. Ebenso weshalb man hier nach wie vor an dem maximal stressigen, gruppenunfreundliche und ineffizienten System festhält. In der Filiale im Disneyland Paris kann man per App alles an den Tisch bekommen und kann in Ruhe bestellen und dann auch gemeinsam essen.

A great selection of food. Visited twice and both times the food was amazing. Seating was spacious and comfortable. Staff was friendly and social, except for the busgirl. She was strictly business but that was ok.

Trotz Plakatwerbung an den Fenstern war nicht ein einziges veganes Gericht, welches auf der Karte aufgeführt war, erhältlich. Ich stand an drei verschiedenen Schlangen an und bekam jedes Mal nur ein „sorry, das geht nicht“. Keine Erklärung und auch kein alternativer Vorschlag. Eher genervte Gesichter. Mein Partner wollte eine normale Lasagne, die ebenfalls nicht zubereitet werden konnte. Keine Ahnung ob die Köche einfach nur keine Lust hatten oder wirklich die Zutaten fehlten, aber dann streicht die Gerichte doch bitte einfach von der Karte und sorgt dafür, dass den Kunden wenigstens ein Salat angeboten wird. Habe mich eher wie ein komplizierter Gast mit nervigen Extrawünschen gefühlt, sehr sehr uncool. Musste dann gehen ohne etwas gegessen zu haben.

We really enjoy the food here! The food is made right on the spot from Salads, Pasta and Pizza! You order everything including drinks and they place on a card for you and you pay at the end. Great for large groups as you can reserve or sit on the inside or outside. Limited parking so it’s better to come earlier rather than late.

This place is good, the service is fast and the food made to order. You order your food and they make it while you wait at the counter, then you put it on the card and take the card to the counter to pay when you leave. It's a great process and I can't eat here enough. There are several different pasta types, pasta sauces, pizza types, salads, a bar and plenty of tables. The parking isn't great, but there is a garage behind the building. Its across from the mall so you can walk off your food!

-Good food, freshly prepared -Prices decent -Minimally enthusiastic employees -A deafening roar inside, my wife and I already can’t hear very well - we simply don’t talk while eating here

They make your food at the counter here as you watch them make it fresh however as they’re speaking to you they never even look at you she have no idea if they’re asking you the question with a customer next to you a question. The food has very little taste and and the organization is quite chaotic.

Mal eben gerade Essen gehen ist leider nicht mehr in jeder Stadt möglich und da ist es schön wenn ein Vapiano in der Nähe ist. Personal ist freundlich und gibt zusätzliche Empfehlungen. Das italienische Essen wird prompt zubereitet und serviert dabei gibt es auch immer wieder saisonale Höhepunkte. Mein Risotto war sehr gut!

Regarde sur tripadvisor est on mon choix ce restaurant . Acceuil sympa , donne 2 carte , choix sur la carte est passe la commande .. Pas de serveuse , cool Le sevice 10 Le repas un delice 10 +++ Les reef beef un delice 10 Proprete tres bien est les toilettes aussi .. Une recommandation grand oui .. Merci j ai adorer est bien manger ..

I am not a big fan of pasta but this place won me over. They cook your food right in front of you. Made to order. Fast and tasty.

I went here twice. The location is really nice. I also liked the food cooked in front of clients' eyes. In my experience, I found both good and less good dishes here. Despite is not a typical Italian dish, I really enjoyed the Carbonara with salmon (see photo attached, the real Italian dish is with guanciale, that is meat). I also enjoyed the starter with mixed cold cuts and mozzarella cheese. Conversely, the rice with mushrooms contained really too much butter. Sono stato qui due volte. La location è molto carina. Mi è piaciuto molto il fatto che il cibo sia cucinato davanti agli occhi dei clienti. Nella mia esperienza, ho trovato sia piatti buoni che meno buoni qui. Anche se non è un piatto tipico italiano mi è piaciuta molto la carbonara con il salmone. Mi è piaciuto anche l'antipasto con affettati misti e mozzarella. Nel riso con i funghi invece c'era davvero troppo burro.

Sempre il solitodiscorso. Non si mangia male Ma certo siamo lontani dalla cucina italiana. Carino il locale, piacevole l'idea di veder cucinare il proprio piatto davanti agli occhi, Ma i menù sono improponibili e la pasta sempre scotta...... Come in tutti i locali di questa catena

Although the kitchen taste good for an Italian restaurant abroad, I must say that the hospitality is below zero. Extremely sad and unfriendly, you feel not welcome at all and they literally chase you out of the restaurant if you wanna stay a little longer,...

Really enjoyed the concept. Great food and very fresh. The chef spoke English and made it very easy for me to order. Everything was delicious.

An interesting concept to say the least. Food prepared fresh while you watch. I feel it's a bit on the pricey side but it's the only gimmick in town. Have eaten here on more than one occasion in the past few months. Would eat here...

There is a lot of selections to choose from. Desserts are great! However in Germany I find it necessary to know EXACTLY what you want as in any other German and perhaps Europe in general. I recommend this eatery. I’ve been there three times.

Love this place! I been to this restaurant I. three different cities in Germany and the food, beverage, and atmosphere is consistently excellent every time.
