Trattoria Bar Celentano

Neighborhood restaurant with real Italian food. One of the closest places you will find in Germany to a family-run trattoria. The pasta dishes are excellent, in particular the day's special. The pizzas are good too. The house wine drinks easy as does the kölsch. They are often packed but they will always try to get you a table, either inside or on the non-assuming but pleasant terrace. They show all the major football matches but that won't get on the way of a good meal. Anthony Bourdain visited for his Cologne episode of Parts Unknown, and that should tell you something.

This is the second time we have been here and the friendly service and food has been consistently great. Celentano serves up well crafted and fresh dishes. My husband had the pizza with seafood (same as the first time and it was perfectly al dente). This time I had pizza Napoli (with sardines) and it was so nasty that I think inhaled the whole pizza in minutes. I also had the Chardonnay which accompanied well with the dish. Don’t pass up this place, it is a local hangout but they have warm hearts for everyone!

We stayed at Cologne for 2 days and because our host recommended this place, we gave it a chanche. What a super evening. Even though the place was really busy, the food and service was very good. They know how the handle with stress situaions. If it was possible I would like to gave 6 stars. Keep up the good work!

Been here so many times. Restaurant is low-key, but they serve the best italian food in Cologne. Pasta always al dente and staff always friendly!
