Da Luigi - Koeln-Ehrenfeld

Since LUIGI, for our project team 6 international participants, the name is an epitome of very good food, exquisite service, great ambience. For a few years, we have always met here to complete our meeting. Everything started a few years ago when I looked in here on a walk through Cologne. The friendly staff felt like a good acquaintance and looked at a table with a view, so I could watch the colorful drift on the Friesenwall. The coronation was when I made my food in Italian and ordered it. There were the eyes of the service staff. It became problematic for me when he asked me questions in Italian, oh ever, I somehow didn't understand him, it was another Italian? ... laugh. Now my little mice are Italian only enough for an order, but not for an Italian communication. But what now? I understood my current situation. In any case there was a big laugh in the kitchen, the ice was broken and friends born. Since today I have been here regularly and get great Italian dishes from the kitchen, especially the pasta dishes have made it to me. Our project team with 2 Romans is also thrilled every time there is Carne, Pesce. And of course there is also a good Italian red wine. The mood in the team is always excellent and many discussion points during our meeting can be solved very well in this environment. I think we'll come back here in the future.

Always worth a visit! The owner is a character and cooks everything himself and is always up for a lil chat. Selected Menu, but everyone will find a dish to eat -even vegans! Simple set up, but has its own peronality. If you enjoy crowded...artificial places, a packed menu, soft pasta then you shouldnt come here.

So guests eat in italy. Honest and simple but tasty. So is the true Sicilian cuisine. Ideally suited for lunch.

I wasn't impressed at all by this place. I don't know how other reviewers here define home made' but past in this place is definitely home made as you can even see boxes of pasta standing on shelves and being used by the cook. Probably...the sauce is fresh made but my sea food sauce was nothing special and for the rather high price I was expecting much more. One strange thing about this place is that before your meal you're offered bread but there's no bread/olive oil served with it so I don't really know what you're supposed to do with it.

Small little place with one guy (quite a character) running the kitchen service (at least the night I was there). Lovely home-made freshly cooked pasta dishes. Great value.
