    I am in love with this cafe! ***** 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 The owners (Carmen, her son and others) are lovely, with Italian temperament and Cologne joie de vivre, you immediately feel in good hands here, almost as if you were family. The coffee is excellent ~ the kick: the sugar whipped with espresso. There are freshly baked pastries, homemade lemonade, a colorful variety of changing creative "antipasti" in a small display case and a daily special, which is always offered in a vegetarian version. Typical Italian cuisine at a fair price and cooked with love. I almost forbade myself to give such a TOP rating because what a shame it would be not to be able to get one of the few tables here at lunchtime... However: the average time spent at lunchtime is short because many people appreciate the quick lunch here (the food is steaming in front of you in a few minutes) and I just have to support these great people there! 10/10 with all my heart! ❤️

    Wir haben unsere kleine Weihnachtsfeier dort gehalten. Tolles Essen mit super nettem, familiärem Ambiente. Man hat das Gefühl die eigene Mama bekocht einen. Die Chefin und ihr Sohn sind ein tolles Team. Absolute Empfehlung! (Translated by Google) We held our little Christmas party there. Great food with a super nice, family atmosphere. You feel like your own mom is cooking for you. The boss and her son are a great team. Absolute recommendation!

    (Translated by Google) This beautiful little bistro belongs to my friend Carmen, but that is not the reason for my 5 stars, but the quality, the freshness and the varied menu. Il piacere has no fixed menu, il piacere actually has no menu at all. Carmen decides the day before what she would like to cook, she may then throw everything back because she can still find something better or fresher on the market. So the daily menu is always a culinary delicacy and surprise. (Original) Dieses wunderschöne kleine Bistro gehört meiner Freundin Carmen, das ist aber nicht der Grund fur meine 5 Sterne, sondern die Qualität, die Frische und das abwecklungsreiche Menü. Il piacere hat keine feste Speisekarte, il piacere hat eigentlich gar keine Speisekarte. Carmen entscheidet ein Tag zuvor was sie kochen möchte, möglicherweise schmeißt sie dann alles wieder um, weil sie doch noch was besseres oder frischeres auf dem Markt findet. Das tägliche Menü ist also immer eine kulinarische Köstlichkeit und Überraschung.

    Dear family-run little restaurant. Very good, simple lunch, looking vegetarian. Small but fine selection. Good atmosphere and loving family in the kitchen and behind the counter.

    Capo Carmen & the boys do a great job - familiar, semplice and simply good! Unfortunately, the family from the Veedel and surrounding offices only meet here for lunch on Mondays and Fridays. Tasty and cheap, that’s it! I like to come alone, for a quick business lunch or with friends! A dopo & grazie, Mammmma! ❤️🫶🏼

    I was able to celebrate my birthday there in private in May. Despite the spontaneous booking, lots of questions and all sorts of obstacles that arise at such a celebration, the owner was very accommodating to me, was friendly throughout and even gave me a fair amount of trust. The price was more than fair, the preliminary discussions were pleasant and the location is very cozy and inviting. The celebration was wonderful! I'd be happy to come back! P.S.: The coffee tasted great too! :)

    (Translated by Google) A nice, authentic café. Very delicious coffee and great pastries. Unfortunately no vegan "milk alternatives" but that can still come ... ? (Original) Ein nettes, authentisches Café. Sehr leckerer Kaffee und tolles Gebäck. Leider keine veganen "Milchalternativen" aber das kann ja noch kommen... ?

    Authentisches Essen, toll im Geschmack. Betreiber ist eine Familie mit Herzblut. Einfach echt, sehr zu empfehlen. Gerade für einen Mittagstisch. (Translated by Google) Authentic food, great in taste. Operator is a family with passion. Just real, highly recommended. Just for one lunch table.

    Wir essen hier immer wieder gerne und man bekommt auch italienische Hausmannskost die man nicht so kennt, was das Ganze noch mal spannend und um so leckerer macht. Es gibt immer eine Hauptmahlzeit mit oder ohne Fleisch und dazu noch eine Variation an frischen Salaten oder Kuchen. Ab und zu gönne ich mir ein Espresso mit dem leckeren Espresso-Zucker. Den habe ich so auch hier zum ersten Mal gesehen. Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung für die Mittagspause und auch mal abends!

(Original) Super leckeres Essen und der Kaffee war auch richtig lecker und powernd!! Ich fühl mich dort so wohl, wie im Wohnzimmer- Sehr gut gestaltet!

    Mittagessen, wechselnde Tageskarte, frisch italienisch - Dieses Lokal ist optimal für eine Mittagszeit unter der Woche. Zu dem wechselnden Tagesgericht (stets eine vegetarische Variante mit dabei) gibt es leckeres Brot mit Kräuterjoghurt vorneweg. Die Tagesgerichte sind häufig klassische Drei-Komponenten Gerichte: Fleisch/Fisch+Sättigungsbeilage+Salat. Wer lieber Rohkost zum Mittag möchte bekommt einen bunten Teller mit verschiedenen saisonalen Gemüsesorten in Öl, Kräutern, Essig. Es gab Zeiten, als die Portionen enttäuschend klein waren, aber das hat sich glücklicherweise gelegt. Man wird satt undzwar mit sehr qualitativen Speisen.
