The entire menù is written in Italian with many errors like porco instead of maiale....Very few dishes are really italian but there is some very similar. I ate a good caprese with a fresh mozzarella fiordilatte and good tomato. They make also a good pizza, more similar to the Rome's type but good taste. At first I thought there was some ketchup in the tomato' s sauce but trying their fresh tomatoes in the caprese I understood that is a particular taste of it. Not the best pizza in the world but one of the best in Essen. Good Italian wine. Obviously no one talks Italian, just a few talks English but they are kind and courtesy. Avoid to go when is full due to an extremely slow service

After waiting minutes to be served drinks, we asked for the English menu, which we never received. After another minutes we got our drinks and ordered our food using google...translate. Another mins later we got our starters. Then there was a minute wait between our plates being collected and our mains arriving. Our waitress was apologetic and did the best she could but it seemed that they were understaffed in the kitchen and out front Apart from the slow service, the food was good. The tomatoes on the bruschetta was very fresh and tasty. Pizzas were also very tasty. This would have been a star review if it was not for the length of time we had to wait
