Michele - Gießen

Appetizer was good. Main court OK. Gnocchi with butter and sage rather disappointing, hard parts. You can also make pasta dishes in the way yourself, especially at the higher price. We better go back to the neighbor. Staff very friendly.

On 21.10.21 we were there for dinner at four. Lunch. From the four courts ordered, only the GNOCCHI were okay. Pizza Margherita dry like stone. Pasta Mafioso in best case only average. Average for €13.50? But the hammer was the Pasta Carbonara! The bacon that was processed in it was definitely no longer edible. Pasta Carbonara and Mafioso also went back for the most part. It's not Italian cuisine. Not close. Conclusion? I'm sure we won't go.

We had previously informed ourselves about the Google Maps reviews about the Michele restaurant, and were amazed to find a new, very adult besides the many good reviews. This gave us the opportunity to make our own judgment. On our arrival it was very empty, yet a quite uncomfortable atmosphere came up: In spite of the rest of the restaurant, the operation worked very well, right next to us a new force was worked quite loudly, and the phone was constantly ringing a penetrant ringtone as in old 80s ISDN devices. After more than 5 minutes, the card was taken, although they were stored only 1 m away. It has also been omitted to ask if it may have a drink request beforehand. A pair then took place at the side table and was asked if they were vaccinated. This was affirmed, but the staff failed to show a vaccination card, although this is clearly prescribed by the legislator. That our assigned seat was quite convenient, you can tolerate, but with the negligence with which health security was handled, we ended up leaving the restaurant without having ordered anything. Despite the well-known lack of personnel, these fundamental things should work. In the sum, we did not feel comfortable and not welcome therefore only a star a pity the photos on the Internet looked quite promising.

We stayed for the first time yesterday on recommendation, 5 stars for the friendly staff and the really delicious food (the Bruschetta and the noodles were our highlight), we would like to come back!

More appearance than being I am disappointed and had hoped for something else due to the super reviews and the website. The appetizer Antipasto Fantasia was a normal antipasto Mista as you can find it at any Italian. The handmade noodles were not to distinguish from normal purchased noodles and I doubt that they were made themselves. And if so, what's the point if you don't notice the difference? The food (Pasta with salmon) tasted faded and was completely without a touch. You cook at home a lot better. The choice of wine was extremely limited by 35 Italian wines and the beverages we had to drink from dirty glasses (Tipp: After rinsing the glasses after polishing and not with water stains. It was also disappointing that there was no truffle, but that was only told us after the order. And before the question comes: No, we didn't tell the service because they were overwhelmed last night and we had to say 3 times that we wanted to pay and waited for the bill forever. The operation was also not really interested, because finally, 3 plates were not even half finished ate before us. It seems you can do better. Where did the love for cooking and hosting remain? Eating for 100 euros should be happy and not such a disappointment. More appearance than reality I am disappointed and was hoping for something different based on the great reviews and the website.

The handmade noodles were indistinguishable from regular store bought noodles and I doubt they were homemade. And if it does, what's the point if you don't notice the difference? The food (pasta with salmon) tasted bland and was completely lacquering in flair. You can cook so much better at home. The wine selection was extremely limited not a trace of 35 Italian wines and we had to drink the drinks from dirty glasses (tip: polish the glasses after precipitation and don't leave them with water stains. It was so disappointing that there were no truffles, but we got that only said after the order. And before the question comes: No, we didn't tell the waiter any of that because they were overwhelmed last night and we had to say 3 times that we wanted to pay and waited forever for the bill. What really neither did the service, because after all there were 3 plates in front of us that had not even been helped eaten. Apparently you can do better than that. Where has the love for cooking and hospitality gone? Eating out for 100 euros should make you happy and not be seeking a disappointment.
