Da Zio - Ratingen

Ok I'll admit, after traveling so much in Germany I was getting tired of all the pasta and carbs. I actually love pasta a lot, but it was getting to be a bit too much. Food (4/5): First time I came here I was super disappointed. The gnocchi I got with the tomato sauce was not up to par on the gnocchi I had at Gioia. I think I expected something similar and when it didn't meet my expectations it made me extremely disappointed. Then the next time I came I got this pasta with tomato cream sauce and salmon and it was DELICIOUS. I was so much happier with my choice the second time. I realized that the tomato sauces here are too sour for my liking, I'm more of a cream or white sauce type of person. They also have these AMAZING complimentary bread rolls with these really creamy and yummy garlic butter spread! Service (3/5): service was decent, nothing special or anything about it. Exterior/Interior (4/5): the restaurant is pretty big and there's a lot of seating inside and outside which is super convenient!

Pizza as well as Pasta is good. The terrace is nice during spring and summer. They also offer very good lunch deals

Then I think there are certainly better alternatives... in the summer it is certainly nice if they can sit outside with a look at the church ... we were several paintings here with the firma .. except the pizza I can not recommend so... a lot of taste ... and unfortunately the pizzas here are not with mozarella as in italia .. the kitchen reminds more of Italian cuisine with German roots influences.. ... the staff is very friendly.

The personal was friendly and can speak German/Italian/German, eating was really good at a really cheap price. some say that they can judge the quality of an Italian restaurant/kitchen by cooking their pasta, they have it perfect.

In the evening with some colleagues here to the business dinner. the service was fast, even if there were a lot of people who at the same time eat. eating was excellent and the size of the dishes are quite large, so I don't think someone here is hungry. recommended!
