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

I didn't really like both pizzas ordered. No much taste and ingredients of low quality. Tomate sauce not authentic, ... pastry is thin and crisp what is good but toppings not as expected... frustrating..

Went for a quick dinner after my girlfriend landed on the airport around 9pm. The service was very nice. We ordered a pasta and a pizza. It came VERY quick, and we also got some freshly baked bread with olives and garlic cream in addition. The quality was good, the portions are large, but they are very willing to let you take the rest home. Prices are very low!

Stopped by for dinner twice, the food and service were excellent both times. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly. They serve some appetizers for free so the wait for the ordered meals doesn't seem too long. The meals I tried were hot, delicious and made of fresh ingredients. Service is quick and nice. Prices are reasonable. Definitely worth to visit.
