Il Borgo - Königswinter

A freight train, sometimes a train by the oberkasseler train station at the right-western Rhine railway line. we hear the sash, sash, sash, ... noise-reduced, because we sit in the ristorante il borgo behind closed large windows with semicircular top lights in the former observatory railway station building, but no twenty meters from the gleis. what was going on here? the appetit on fish and the high-quality Italian cuisine in the net under [hidden link] . the ambiente the ristorante il borgo welcomes its guests in a historic railway station building, which, including the built-in pavement roof, is under the roof of the monument. that the former railway station building was built around four years after the beginning of the German French war in 1870/71, you can look at the building in the construction style, but not in the degree of conservation. in front of a proper, yellow white, two-storey building, the railway station building from the greenderzeit, we park our way. parking is quite abundant. if you are close to the train station, another parking space is available near the foot. a picture-book-friendly beer garden left next to the construction from imperial times lets us hesitate in the selection of the place of our upcoming stay: an evening with moderate warmth under the excavating sun umbrellas on a fountain behind a wooden wall separating the railway line or taking a place in the former waiting room from imperial times? the temperature on this seventeenth maitag makes us the choice easy. we're going in. three plant-filled steps high, railway hall door open, railway hall door close, and we are in the former waiting room. Nothing, except the size of the room and the large windows with their upper lights, still remembers the original function. a long dark brown table top with light brown table top, modern and bar-like, takes a side of the room. a matching dark brown country with light brown handrail separates the room in two seating areas, the rear one higher than the front one. Moreover, there is a smaller, door-separable dining room and a few tables directly at the entrance door. the lower third of the yellowish white walls is wood-paneled, dark brown. red-padded seat benches cover part of wood paneling and allow guests to sit comfortably in dark brown tables with bright brown table tops. red-padded are also the bar stools in front of the counter. the tables are tastefully covered, orange-coloured table sets, yellow serviettes, yellow candles, a red long-sleeved rose in a white vase. glow, in the marketing called deng up and downlights, irradiate the walls, and some spots on the tasty backwards commercial modern paintings on the walls in 's right light, so poorly excluded later on leaving the restaurant we still have the children's playground in the adjoining to the beer garden. even for the little ones is thought. we like the ambiente. it's good here. four of five stars. the service we are welcomed by a young herrn, black dressed and red apron, friendly. he could be more Italian. we take place on one of the tables he offered us, and get presented the menus immediately. as drinks he takes a bottle of mineral water for my wife (5.90 € of the three quarterliter and for me a pinot grigio (4.90 € for 0.2 l. the young man understands his craft. he serves us the evening above courtesy, friendly and attentive. he asks for our satisfaction with the feeds, gives up several times, immediately lights the candle when we take a place. he gives us the feeling that we are welcome. his professional art to serve deserves four stars. eating the menu reflects in the whole what the restaurant advertises: real and high quality Italian cuisine. all that belongs to the program of a ristorante can be found on the map: antipasti, salate, suppen, pasta, pizzen, fish and meat dishes and desserts. the small guests are also thought of with children's plates. a large board on a wall in the dining room serves as a tag card. it presents several fish and meat dishes and desserts. the prices are in the area of what you are used to praising for some upscale Italian cuisine. for us, it's supposed to be fish today. therefore my wife chooses from the card filetto di rombo in crosta di erbe (steinbuttfilet in crimped crust for 22,90 € , and I choose for zanderfilet with sparing, new kartoffels and sauce hollandaise (also 22,90 € . we don't wait long, and our Italian-looking young man serves the gruß aus der koch. it is fresh hot broth and a crumbled, very sweet, especially the crispy bread. after a waiting period suitable for fresh preparation, the young man serves us the main dishes. on rectangular plates, decorated with crema di balsamico and crumbling, the fish fillets laugh at us. the stone buttfilet of my wife is served with rosemary and vegetables (tube slices, striped hollow leaves and flower cabbage. the filet is fried on the skin and covered with an oily crimp mixture. even if my wife has expected a crispy crispy crust, she is satisfied with the offered variant. the ceremonies harmonize very well with the delicate taste of the juicy roasted, solid-meat stone-beater. the vegetables are cooked in a bit dry, only a little must be salted. the rosmarink type-offers would have tolerated a little more rosmarin, but otherwise are well cooked. to my zanderfilet with economical and new kartoffels, the young herr serves a sauciere with sauce hollandaise. the spatula is perfectly prepared, not a bit woody, not too soft and not too hard. the hollandaise seems to me not to be a sauce from a bought eimer. the reduction tastes easily, very slightly acidic, as I like. the fish is also well prepared. he's got his own taste and röstaroma. the kartoffels have unmistakably buttery taste, because swung in butter. However, the shell of the kartoffels leaves doubt as to whether it is really new kartoffels. in new kartoffels I am used to a softer dish. my wife still wants her espresso (1,90 € and I mean bitter Italian (3 € for 2 cl. we rate the food despite the doubt of the new kartoffels and the somewhat strange crust at the stone butter fillet with good. the price / performance ratio ... also deserves four stars. we have eaten well, have been served well, and the prices we consider appropriate. the cleanliness my wife reports of a clean damentoilette, I don't need a walk to the toilet. the dining room is clean, crooked and best corner picobello. therefore also here a good for cleanliness, so four stars. the conclusion in the calculator medium is a smooth one for the conclusion from the individual assessments and this applies not only to computational but also to emotional. we are happy to go home and recommend il borgo for a visit.

This was a first time visit, but we immediately turned into fans. An Italian place with an authentic feeling to it, and run by Italians. The restaurant holds about tables, all of which were filled when we visited. A large selection of different bruschettas,...pizzas, pasta dishes, a few fish dishes, and various meaty selection. There is also a good wine list. We were very happy with our choices, the service was excellent. Just the main course took a little while to make it out of the kitchen, but it was worth waiting for. The restaurant is not right in the middle of town, and a bike is a good option to get here. Try it if you can

I'd been wanting to try this place for awhile, however when I finally went there, they would not serve me. I was a party of 1, but there were several open tables, including tables for two. I was told you there was no room for food (at 8:00). I ended up going somewhere else and had a great dinner. I probably will not go back or suggest this place.

We only wanted to go there once and then discover some more restaurants our next 2 nights but we went back each evening... The restaurant is in the Oberkassel station building, cool, you see the trains stop and start all the time. the restaurant was nicely decorated with taste, nice atmosphere. We were surprised to find a well-diversified card and chalk board with more dishes, even non-typical Italian ones. We tried 6 (2 persons, 3 evenings, plus starters, all were very well done). My dish was too well-done one evening, it was returned to the kitchen and replaced immediately with a new one. On the 3rd evening, we agreed a little menue slightly adjusted to our taste and to a particularly good bottle of wine. that was great. The wine card is small but well chosen and the host had a few more nice bottles in the cave but that was another story. The service was very friendly and professional. We very much enjoyed it, and it looked like being frequented by those living around the corner, good sign.

Super nice staff, delicious food, beautiful ambience. All right! Only the waiting period was long, but that could happen.
