At first glance, the small but fine restaurant invites you to stay in a cozy atmosphere, but unfortunately the appearance fades. If it gets a bit full, the noise level is so enormous that a cozy conversation at the table can be quite exhausting. Unfortunately, it is also necessary to measure the service that is impeccable at the first impression. At the beginning, he murmurs great with aperitif and menu recommendations, but during the course of the visit, I felt long waiting times for new drinks and the main course as disturbing. With regard to food, we must say full of recognition, in Dortmund and the surrounding area there are not many restaurants that can reach these delicacies the water.

When we arrived, it was noticed that next to us there were long rows of tables for 10 people each.... total for 70 people who arrived shortly afterwards. Young people who obviously came from the Westfalenhalle and were invited to dinner by the company. The noise level was unbearable and we were no longer able to entertain. The constant race of the people, right past our table, reminded of a railway station hall rather than a restaurant that claims exclusivity. The food was also quite inconvenient due to the stress in the kitchen. I first ordered snails in pepper sauce. As it turned out later, it was the same sauce that my wife had later on her steak. As a main food I ordered variations from quality fish and two other guests different steaks as well as once Saltimbocca. The supplements for the fish and the steaks were completely identical and quite taste-neutral. 4 half small carrots with a hint of rosemary, with some leaf spinach, a few steamed carrots and a cauliflower....Thats it!! The claim that the restaurant raises and the prices that are required for the food are in no proportion to what we served. A normal Grappa Prosecco, which I ordered after dinner, was 16!! Euro calculated. Overall, we had 260 for 4 people. to pay euro, which is in no proportion to the services provided. A telephone call with the management the next day also did not yield any results. For us who have been in De Luca several times, this location has settled due to insufficient price performance ratio.

I had ordered a screw in pepper sauce first. as it turned out later, it was the same thing my wife had on her steak later. as a main dish I ordered variations of quality fish and two other guests different steaks as well as once salzim al bocca. the supplements for the fish and the steaks were completely identical and quite taste-neutral. 4 half small carrots with a hauch rosmarin, with a small leaf spinat, a few steamed tubule and a flower cabbage. that is it! the affirmation that the local rises and the prices that are required for the diners are not in any relation to what we are serving. a normal Grappa prosecco, which I ordered after eating, was calculated with 16! euro. total we had 260 for 4 people. to pay euro, which is not in a relationship with the services provided. also a telephone call with the administration the next day did not bring any results. for us who have been in the de luca several times, this locality has settled due to the inadequate price-performance ratios.
