I’ve had some bad experiences in bars before, but this was an entirely new level of awful. Walking in, it felt like stepping into a dimly lit, poorly maintained dungeon. The sticky floor stuck to my shoes like it was trying to keep me from escaping. The bartender looked like they had just rolled out of bed and didn’t know how to make a basic cocktail. I miss the old days and the nice people that used to work there.
We visited for the first time after making a table reservation. The attractively decorated pizzeria was packed. The waitresses showed no signs of stress. Quite the opposite; we had a little chat. It didn't take long for our order to arrive on the table. We enjoyed our meal immensely and will definitely eat there again when we're in the area.
In summary: Everything was great.
Well the pizzas in the preview looked good. Last night the edges were burnt black and therefore not edible. The atmosphere is uncomfortable because the pick-up orders are constantly arriving or... were picked up. No thanks
Rustic neighborhood Italian in Urdenbach - simple and delicious
Pasquale was recommended to us by an Italian. We visited the inconspicuous restaurant in a residential area in Urdenbach at lunchtime. It is a very unusual Italian restaurant, the decor and size of which is reminiscent of a snack bar. When we got there we were greeted with a handshake by a friendly waiter. Since almost all high tables were occupied, Alessandro offered us two free seats at a table for 4, which we shared with 2 other guests - this was communicative and we learned details about the restaurant and the rustic chef and owner.
Chef Pasquale has cooked his way into the hearts of the people of Urdenbach with his love for authentic Italian cuisine. Most of his guests have been loyal to him for many years. His pasta dishes enjoy cult status. Fresh Italian classics are offered on the table above the open kitchen and on Fridays Pasquale cooks fresh fish soup.
The pasta dishes we ordered (penne al arrabiata and tagliolini with black truffles) were perfectly cooked and delicious - pasta makes you happy :-)).
The extremely friendly and attentive service is worth mentioning. Alessandro poured us more mineral water several times - fortunately it wasn't San Pellegrino.
Visiting Pasquale was a very Italian culinary experience. He is probably the most individual Italian in the city with a unique family atmosphere and really good cuisine - that's how Cucina Casareccia works.
The small restaurant has been open since 2004 and is filled to capacity every day - no reservations are accepted and Pasquale only accepts cash payments.
The slightly different Italian restaurant in Urdenbach is certainly not for everyone - but for fans of original Italian cuisine it is an insider tip with cult status.
Pasquale is the Italian counterpart to the former cult Austrian Poldi in Heerdt - who is unfortunately long history.
