Vella ‘s Restaurant & Loungebar

We only had drinks, so we can't comment on the food. The service was very fast, but unfortunately a bit rushed, even though not all the seats were occupied. Our table neighbors were treated very strangely, which was a bit off-putting.

Excellent food and super friendly service. We'll be happy to come back.

The view is great, the service is okay, and the prices are high. We still had a lovely evening.

We received a friendly and prompt welcome at the Vellas Restaurant and were given a lovely table overlooking the Baltic Sea. The food was excellent and to our complete satisfaction – we can therefore definitely recommend the restaurant. I would, however, like to make one small point: The staff seemed a bit reserved at noon and not quite as welcoming as you might expect from an Italian restaurant. It would also be nice if they didn't clear plates while someone was still eating. This is, of course, complaining at a high level, but it makes a big difference to the overall impression. All in all, a great restaurant with delicious food and a beautiful location – we'd love to come back!

Unfriendly person at the ice cream stand who deliberately didn't understand me when I asked about a lost item. The ice cream was mediocre. I can't recommend it.

Lovely ambiance, delicious food, and a beautiful view of the harbor. We really enjoyed our stay.

Really great. The four of us thought it was very good. A great place to linger. The staff were very friendly and cheerful. We found the food beautifully presented and very tasty. We'd be happy to go back.

I think the food here is delicious, and I think you're very nice and it's very chic here. It's the best restaurant I've ever eaten at.

So far, we've mostly been there as a hiking destination, for a glass of wine and a light snack. The appetizers are delicious, and the wines are excellently selected. We also went there for dinner and were not disappointed. The ambiance inside is very pleasant, and the terrace is sheltered from the wind.

The ambiance is truly beautiful, and the location on the island is truly unique. Unfortunately, the kitchen service varies considerably – the quality and taste are unfortunately not consistently good. Yesterday, for example, the pasta with fillet tips was served with just ordinary rump steak on tagliatelle, and the pasta with fresh truffles was completely missing. When asked, the only answer was that the truffle piece was too small to shave... So, it's better to have no truffle at all but still pay the full price. It really could be better.

The ambience and the service is good, the food is good but the portion size is a disgrace for the prices, you can't really talk about feeling full afterwards

The schnitzel was frozen. Very small, flat, and rock-hard. Simply inedible. A definite no-go for a restaurant. I wouldn't eat there again.

Priceless: the sunset at dinner

The food was very good. The fries were unfortunately unsalted, but you can add salt yourself. The prices are a bit high, but the ambiance is beautiful, with a great view of the small harbor. I highly recommend it.

Beautifully located on the harbor, the food was good, and the service was quick and pleasant. The price/performance ratio was right.

A fantastic view of the harbor. The quality of the food was excellent. The service was very attentive. The quantity of food was at best sufficient. Not recommended if you're hungry or with teenagers. You'll simply wake up hungry without an appetizer and dessert. In other words, while the service and quality are good, the value for money isn't there.

Great place to unwind. We had two cocktails, a mojito and a caipirinha. Both were delicious 😋. The prices were reasonable, and the service was very friendly and prompt. Great view of the harbor and the Baltic Sea. The only annoying thing is the amount of mosquitoes late at night. It's best to wear long clothes.

The food, service, and view from the terrace were all very good. Only the faucet in the bathroom was off, which was a bit of a shame, as it didn't fit the overall impression.

Very nice, the food was really good and reasonably priced

Unfortunately, I can't recommend it. The price/performance ratio was very poor. We'll avoid it in the future.

Super delicious food, 😋 friendly staff - absolutely recommendable, anytime again

The best coffee within a 15km radius!

Unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment. The tuna tartare bore little resemblance to a real tartare – coarsely chopped pieces of fish on a bit of avocado, completely unseasoned and carelessly presented. The fish soup consisted mostly of soggy white bread, the fish content was minimal, the flavor was bland, and unconvincing. Overall, much of it seems ambitious, but the execution falls far short of the price. They demand a lot here – especially when it comes to payment – but in return they offer neither quality nor a coherent culinary experience. Not like this.

Zusammenfassung: Horrible milchkaffee, overprice food, small portions, great view to the ocean

Small portions and big prices. The chef tries to push us to order an appetizer. We won't be coming back here next year.

We ordered grilled chicken schnitzel with baked potato and seasonal vegetables... what arrived was a large plate, two mini schnitzels, a potato, and nothing more than a smear of gray-brown something. (Unfortunately, no photo). After pointing out these "vegetables," the waitress told us, "But no one has complained yet!" Then we had a cup of stracciatella. Just joking, I asked if it had eggnog in it. It actually came with about a pinch of liqueur. However, it was charged an extra €2.50 on the bill... The staff was friendly, the view was good. I wouldn't recommend the food.

Unbelievable today, unique from the outside but... The service was obviously not in a good mood today. The worst thing was wiping everything with the same cloth, and the menu too. Just disgusting. 🤪 a no-go.........

The tagliatelle was delicious, as it was homemade, but not asking if you'd like anything else for 50 minutes after eating is unacceptable. The service was also sweaty, and the table setting was rudimentary, especially since the tables weren't clean and the pepper and salt mills weren't filled and looked more like they hadn't been used years ago. Opening hours aren't officially posted either. It's a shame, as the place has so much potential.

Negative 2 aperitifs for 17.90 euros without any appetizers, a shame because the place is beautiful.

Good view, unfriendly staff, unfortunately!

We spontaneously stopped by with the kids for an ice cream sundae this afternoon. We received very friendly service, and our special requests were accommodated very well. The sundaes and cocktails could have used a bit more garnish. The taste was excellent. Although card payments are accepted, it didn't work due to the poor Wi-Fi connection.

A fantastic restaurant. The food was amazing, the staff was excellent, and the view couldn't be topped. If we're ever in the area again, we'll be back. Greetings from Kamener Kreuz 😂😂😂

Enjoy the stunning view from the terrace on a bike ride along the coast. We didn't eat there, but the food looked delicious at our neighbors' tables. The drinks were good, the service was very friendly and attentive, and the restrooms were clean. So, go there and relax outside in the sunshine.

Very, very friendly staff. The food was also delicious. The weather was very bad, and despite dogs, which aren't actually allowed, we were offered permission to come in, which is a huge bonus. We are very satisfied and happy.

Poor service. The incorrectly delivered food was not replaced. Instead of at least expressing regret, we received a rude response and the implication that the fault was ours. Given the location right by the sea, this is unnecessary; disgruntled guests are replaced by plenty of walk-in customers.

Were here twice. We were very satisfied every time. The staff was always courteous, very nice and professional. The food was excellent. You can't get enough of Stella's panna cotta. Any time. Thumbs up.

“Waffle with strawberries” for just under €10: Squishy heart waffle swims in really sweet industrial strawberry mash, a medium-sized strawberry is cut open and then a 2mm thick slice is draped on each of the 6 hearts. Small scoop of ice cream and a tablespoon of fluffy cream. That's not how good gastronomy works. Not recommended.

There were three of us. The ambience is very nice. We have been coming to Timmendorf for over 50 years and always eat at this place, mostly fish. The food, breaded cod, grilled with rosemary potatoes with a side salad, was unfortunately disappointing. The fish was dry, the rosemary potatoes were swimming in fat, were mushy and the entire meal was lukewarm. However, I liked the way it was served. Our grandson wanted to eat pasta with tomato sauce, but a little more than a child's portion. We were then offered that we could order two children's portions. We shouldn't have done it because he didn't finish it because it really wasn't good. Pasta with tasteless red sauce, no parmesan on top and cold too. Conclusion: We will never eat there again.

Unfortunately we cannot recommend it.

Large and extremely tasty portions. Very friendly service...and the view over the harbor towards the sunset makes it perfect! Gladly again!

Nice friendly service, delicious food and a beautiful view of the water. From here you can hike along the cliffs or go the other way to the beaches. A good start and end point.

A lackluster fish sandwich to go, it has two varieties, and they don't understand if you want herring and not salmon. It's right next to the ice cream, a strange layout.

We moored in the marina for one night. Everything was just right, very good attentive service, delicious food, fish soup and Vella's tagliatelle. Price-performance ratio is really good. The view and the terrace with wind protection are an absolute highlight. Highly recommended, we will definitely come back.

We spontaneously stopped by Vella's. Unfortunately, it took a little longer due to the large number of guests, but the food was excellent! The view from the terrace is unbeatable! One more server would be good, so the rest wouldn't have to rush around so much. Overall, I highly recommend it!

We were there spontaneously and had ice cream sundaes 🍨. Highly recommended. The employees definitely have a lot of fun at work, very friendly, a heart for children 💪 Gladly again

It was very nice. Super friendly and the food mega delicious. We'll be back

Lt. Google Open Sunday lunchtime, but actually closed (hibernation?).

Located right on the harbor you can eat well with a beautiful view. The service is very friendly and quick. We'd love to come back.

We were here in November and were very happy that at least this restaurant was open, as tourism on Poel comes to a complete standstill during this time. There was a small menu with soups, lasagne and fish sandwiches that were completely sufficient as a snack. There were also great ice cream sundaes and coffee variations.

From the terrace you have a wonderful view of the sea. The staff were very friendly. The cheesecake is highly recommended and delicious.😊

We chose this restaurant because of the beautiful view. So we were in good spirits and very happy with beer and wine - then came the "food". We immediately sent the oysters back and the carpaccio was ice cold and bland. The "fish soup" consisted of warmed pureed tomatoes and a few tasteless pieces of fish. The pike-perch swam lifelessly in a roux that tasted unseasoned like cheap white wine. The wrong grappa was brought by a 6-7 year old girl after pointing out the bad food - an absolute no-go! Our mood was therefore outraged, which we were of course rewarded with 90 euros.

Never had such a bad Caipi. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails too expensive. Number 15 Price-performance okay, but for this price in the Hummerkorb restaurant in Warnemünde I ate better with a larger portion. Fish soup was okay too. Child-altered dish: Fish fingers with buttered noodles are fine, hard to go wrong. Dessert: Pana Cotta Top. Also according to my relationship, although I prefer to eat crème brûlée. My wife thought the food was good. It is desirable from the service to take empty drinks with you in between meals.

Due to only 1 star....disappointed...with the food.....baked potato, horrible, how long in the oven,.....bruschetta, not good. Look at the old market. Bruschetta in Wismar, that's oulität........goulash soup no go.....

Unfortunately it is no longer the good fish restaurant we knew from previous vacations. But we were also disappointed with the food, we had the worst pasta I've ever eaten and it wasn't cheap. It's a shame that you treat the guests like that... you don't expect much anymore, but you should be able to offer simple pasta. . Unfortunately, at some point the great location doesn't count for anything.

Friendly service, delicious food and it's very comfortable to sit near the harbor.

The location is great and the pasta was ok, hence 2 stars. The rib eye steak was really a disgrace. There came two tiny pieces of meat, both less than 1cm thick. At first I was almost happy, after the first request to look at the meat again, the food came back, the same meat just grilled again. It was inedible, as was the grilled vegetables that were probably left over from the celebration the day before (it was simply old and slightly bitter). All the food was returned, but was still charged in full. So if you want expensive and bad food, this is the place for you.

Food (salmon) not cooked through, bill wrong with drinks that weren't ordered, food overpriced...

Very nice restaurant, great location, nice staff and wonderful ambience at sunset. Unfortunately we have to deduct a star because the service seemed chaotic, orders were mixed up and food was forgotten. Also, 20 minutes after we ordered, the waitress came and reported that the spare ribs were out. She didn't have a card with her and my husband had to give an alternative on the spot. Unfortunately we didn't think that was that great. The food was very nicely prepared, tasty, but unfortunately only lukewarm.

Nice restaurant, right on the small harbor, next to the well-known lighthouse, fast, good service, friendly service. We enjoyed our drinks outside overlooking the boats in the harbor in the bright sunshine. What more could you want?

I had dinner at Vella's with my wife today and all I can say is pure excitement. An absolutely beautiful ambience, super friendly, careful service staff and price performance is also okay for the location. I had a rib eye steak and my wife had a rump steak, both medium, the quality was very good. Simply recommended. And for everyone who complains about price/performance, then you're better off at the chip shop with currywurst and fries. You simply pay for the ambience. We will be happy to come here again.

The worst food we have ever eaten in a restaurant. The food wasn't hot, vegetables were too salty, potatoes tasted very bad like they were cooked a few days ago and only warmed up. Not recommended

This restaurant seems to take advantage of the surrounding area (harbour/beach) to price their prices. I ordered number 17, chicken breast fillet and cannot recommend it. The price is around 17€ and I was disappointed when I was served the plate. I don't know who should get fed up with it. It is nicely decorated but the taste is poor. After seasoning the meat I was able to taste something. The potato served with it has also spent a long time in the oven. I expected quality and didn't find it here. Also noticeable in the women's toilet (door handles half broken, mirror dirty). If you want good grilled food, you should use the oven nearby and eat your own food on the local benches and invest your money more wisely than in this place. The staff was friendly.

We just had a great evening here with wine and very good food with a fantastic sunset and there was live music, all in all it was really great, the food and drinks were on point! Thanks for the great service and thanks to the kitchen!

Very friendly staff.The Italian food was perfect!Grazie mille

Very finely seasoned, delicious Italian dishes. Already with the starters (vitello tonnato and fish soup) it was clear that we would definitely like to come here again and again. There is also a wonderful view over the small harbor towards the setting sun. Absolute insider tip! Arrive and enjoy!😉

Very tasty food and atmosphere, top service and friendly staff.

The view was very nice, as was the atmosphere, but the food was too small for such prices, the service wasn't great either, my drink took far too long to arrive and they didn't have anything gluten free but vegan

Very nice restaurant right at the harbor. Perfect for the sunset. We had the plaice (very tender, delicious with pesto) and the prawns. The potatoes were very tasty 😋 the Virgin Mojitos were also great 👍 the two waitresses were very nice and asked several times if everything was ok, always with a smile 🙂 the food & the view had its price, which I personally found reasonable. We'd love to come back 😍

Delicious salads, friendly service

Dear people, please label potential allergens in the food. We allergy sufferers really depend on it!!! An allergen in itself is not something bad or forbidden (e.g. peanut), unless you are an allergy sufferer, then contact can really ruin your life. We had dinner at Vella on Poel. The fish was good, the service was friendly, the prices were reasonable. Unfortunately, there must have been flavor enhancers or preservatives in the rosemary potatoes, the butter noodles or the (unordered) sauce for the grilled salmon. Our 12 year old child is severely allergic to this sort of thing. There was no mention of allergens on the menu for any of the dishes our child ordered or tried. Nevertheless, the typical very unpleasant allergy reaction occurred. We know this, we can deal with it but to be honest: Nobody needs that, especially not on vacation.

Chicly renovated! If you're very hungry, you're in the wrong place here. Portion is tiny, you just won't get enough of it all! It's not cheap either! There were four of us and none of us were happy. Fries very soggy. The salad was mainly about plates full of greens - if requested, dressing was added. Nobody asked us if we wanted something more to drink, and the waitress wasn't so enthusiastic about paying by card. Ergo, there was no tip from us. We cannot recommend it and will never eat here again.

Starter: Bruschetta, very tasty., Main courses: Zander in white wine sauce, instead of sea bream (was out today), very little fish, rosemary potatoes sticky, sauce like jelly, most of the plate was salad (it looks great in the photo) ... we were disappointed.. Value for money wasn't justified for us.. in Kirchdorf in the fish restaurant it was much better... The service was super friendly...

The “To Go” had the worst and thinnest coffee you could imagine. Large portion of soft ice cream was fine.

Very outdated restaurant. The furnishings, as well as the presentation of the food, are simple, the outdoor area requires maintenance, and the service is good. Mainstream beer (Bitburger), Pepsi in Coca Cola glasses. Bad rib eye cuts (fell apart), served rare instead of medium, no crunch (not fried hot enough) in a pan not over flame. The restaurant advertises fish & steaks.

Basically the restaurant is ok! Why 2 stars? Happy to explain! First: I ordered a burger. Rolls and side dishes with sauce were good. But the meat is an absolute no-go! The meat was a frozen thin minced patty! Thin and dry! I also ordered mayo...this was pulled out of my pocket and put on the table in a sachet like at McDonald's. Absolutely no go for a restaurant of this “class”! Lastly, my wife's order for a beer was absolutely ignored! It doesn't work that way! All in all, my review is based on this one dish and short experiences! Nevertheless, the waitresses were very nice! Touch-ups here and there and it should get better! But the burger is really very, very expandable!

Service was friendly and fast. The quality of the food was not good. Grilled cod was dry, as was the zander. Salad was barely prepared and unimaginative. The rosemary potatoes were not freshly prepared and had a bland taste. The price at around 20.00 euros per dish was not justified.

Wonderful location at the harbor and very nice service! The ice cream is homemade, the dishes are well chosen but bland or not seasoned at all.

This local is really worth writing a review for! If you are looking for great service and very attentive service, this is the right place for you. That's how it should be, we felt more than comfortable, which unfortunately is rarely the case these days! To eat: The bruschetta was the best we've eaten so far. And we order bruschetta very often! They already deserve 5* for that. My third attempt to finally eat delicious fish on the island and this time I wasn't disappointed 👍🏻 My wife's salmon noodles were even better (for my taste) 👌🏻 Next door is the in-house ice cream parlor, also a highlight. The ice cream definitely tastes homemade and very tasty 👍🏻 I don't think I need to say anything about the location and the view, the photos are... Reviews speak for themselves. I think we'll go here again before we leave. 😇

The food was great. We sat outside and enjoyed the sunset.

Four of us ate there today. The food came very quickly, which surprised us. The seasonal vegetables were lukewarm to cold, the frozen schnitzels were pressed meat and not even crispy, the mushroom cream sauce was made from canned mushrooms and a lot of cream (also warmed up because a skin had already formed). The only really warm thing on the plate was the baked potato. So everything was great for drinks at the harbor, but you should really eat somewhere else!

Very tasty ice cream and cappuccino. And that with a beautiful and very nice ice cream seller. Thank you very much and greetings

When the weather is good, you can sit outside on the terrace, which is protected from the wind by glass panels. You have a nice view of the small harbor. The food (schnitzel hunter style) was ok. The schnitzel itself was ready-made. That's not so bad at first, but I believe that there are better schnitzels than frozen ones. The mushroom sauce was delicious and everything was garnished very attractively. Everything was perfectly priced. Otherwise it would only have been 3 stars.

1 scoop of ice cream costs 1.80 euros. Sea buckthorn ice cream way too sweet.

Hello, we wanted to end a nice evening and enjoy the beautiful ambience of the restaurant at the harbor. We ordered a schnitzel and ribs. The food came after just 6 minutes and looked very unappetizing. The vegetables were cooked to death, the baked potato was burnt and tasted mushy. The ribs were like leather and were swimming in barbecue sauce. The schnitzel was breaded but not properly fried, the parade was still light and flabby. The same vegetables and a baked potato. When we told the waitress that this food was not edible, she took it into the kitchen and apparently tasted everything. She came back with the opinion that everything was fine with this food. She couldn't handle our opinion and insulted us a little louder in Italian. Very unprofessional. The older waitress has missed her job and is welcome to play along with Sor. We know Mr. Rach and will send him over. 🤢

All butchers I can allow myself to judge that the meat dish certainly felt better, The fish was better. The enclosed items are not open to any food. The Sörfis was good.

The restaurant is nicely located. Unfortunately the waffles we ordered didn't taste good. They were dry and tasted like mass-produced goods. We expected more for the price.

The food was very good, but one service worker chased the others around and complained in Italian. She really wanted to get rid of us and thought we didn't understand her. Black hair tied back, glasses older, very rude, acted as if she didn't understand much German, pah. The others are super friendly but this horrible woman is a reason not to go there again. The young man was very patient and very friendly, he was more professional than this woman. It's bad, if you already speak another language, you shouldn't be rude to your guests, you could understand it. Disgusting

super tasty food, friendly service, very funny waiter. We'll definitely come back.

First the wrong food is delivered and then you have to pay for the more expensive wrong food. Tourist rip-off

Great location and beautiful view (which of course you pay for when you eat), very tasty food, although the portions are a bit small. Therefore, a star deduction, because if you want to be full here, you will be significantly poorer afterwards 😉

Good food, very nice service, perfect service and a great view.

Very good restaurant, very nice staff and super delicious food

There were six of us eating. We all had fish. Very tender and tasty. Since we weren't really full from the fish, we mentioned that. The boss brought a piece for each of us, which she didn't charge for. We found that really lovely and that's why we went there again. The boss is nice and funny and the others were nice too. A nice restaurant, clear recommendation from us.

Super Service. Very friendly and accommodating. Chic atmosphere with a great view. Food: small and fine menu with Italian dishes.

Beautiful restaurant at the harbor, food was very tasty, good wines and a fine grappa. Dessert recommendation: cassata!

We were guests at Vella's for the second time today. A very big compliment to the kitchen and the service. A culinary fireworks display paired with friendliness and attention. We felt very comfortable today and will definitely come back🥰 Unfortunately we neglected to take photos. There will be those next time.

Great food, right on the water, great service!!

It was very pleasant at Vella's ❣️ The service was very friendly. The sea bream: delicious. The teramisu is excellent (by the way, I am particularly critical of teramisu). Plus, the food was a feast for the eyes, decorated so delightfully.

Top service, delicious food - we will come back and recommend you

Great location with super nice staff. It was a very tasty meal with great service. We'd love to come back.
