"If a family has been leading an Italian Sicilian restaurant for 40 years without interruption in a German city, you can talk about a tradition of Italian Sicilians. Forty years at the same location, vis a vis of the Wuppertal swimming pool and not even an ideal location, about 1.5 kilometres from the city. We haven't been here for a long time, of course it's not 40 years ago, but two or three years. We entered. Just like before, always full. The atmosphere has changed to the advantage. No more South-European tourists Kitsch, more puristic and therefore contemporary. A friendly restaurant chef greeted us. That he wore a very chic short black pants (until the knee, surprised us first, but didn't bother us. His figure allowed to wear this designer piece in the German summer. He accompanied us to our nice 2 he table in a side room of the restaurant 's. They used to say Separee. In the Separee there were two more table, plus and above all more to the guests there later. The table was nicely covered, including flowers and an LED light cube. Just taken place a pretty, black-haired female operation appeared and handed us the cards. The offer made a careful impression. Of course, pasta, also pizzas, but also various beef fillets and something from the sea. There is also a daily map. The description of the dishes went beyond the standard Italian Sicilians. Everything seemed very creative. Either the Ragazzi in the kitchen understood their craft or they could sell themselves well. We ordered the drinks that were served immediately. In the meantime we had made our choice. Two times the Antipasto Taormina (12, Euro a Person , Filetto de Manzo (Rinderfilet mit Stein Pilz, 29, Euro und die Gamberoni a la Taormina (Riesengarnelen mit Parmaschinken, 26, Euro). While we felt a bit loud when entering the restaurant, it was in the Separee (but much quieter). The pretty blacks appeared quickly back at the table and served black olives with a chillie pod and some bread. In fact, only ETWAS bread. If you cut a small slice of light bread into four parts, then the ETWAS gives bread. That didn't bother me. Olives are not my case, but will be consumed by Hasimausi. And pure bread without a dip, no thanks. My view migrated to the two neighboring tables. Vatter, mother, plus son shortly before the end of primary school, plus publishing daughter of the type uh datt is here the pure etching bored age . Hasimausi cried to me to say nothing now. I also couldn't want it, but the black-haired beauty served the appetizers. First impression: WAU! No it was not a mass that was served but a presentation that was amazed. In the kitchen a foodstylist had to be active. The salami slices were draped to roses, as were the ham from parma. The buffalo mozarella balls rested in a bed of basil leaves. In addition, Bruschetta is covered with inlaid paprika and mushrooms, which were more reminiscent of tarts. It was noticeable that the bread had a much better quality than the previously served bread to the olives. What the optics of this antipasto promised then also created a lot of fun in the mouth. My dear Italian Sicilian, for that a thick compliment. Antipasto can throw on the plate many. This was clearly different. A very good quality of products, beautifully presented. We were completely satisfied with the appetizers, just as with the very attentive service. Always present, always immediately a reaction to empty glasses and in between 2 or 3 times the demand whether everything is okay. Now in the run-up to the main courts I had some time to take care of the neighboring table (with eyes and ears). And O miracles, Hasimausi did not speak out of her discontent. She was also surprised at the behavior of the (Great family at the side table. A lot of people remember the TV family Flodder. The pupil got on his smartphone with his left hand while he tried to interrogate spaghetti in his mouth with his right hand. Various attempts were repeated. After all, he used a fork. All this was crowned by the fact that cell phones sounded audible to us. Eben Video Games live and in color. The continuously bored daughter kept her head deeper and deeper into the deep pasta plate to put the spaghetti in the mouth with a spoon. She cried to her brother several times: You are annoying. All this didn't bother the mother, who also combined cell phones with the devour of her food. I didn't know this circus number yet. Eating at the same time and operating the phone is artistic. Only Vatter grabbed the phone in between. No one was noticeable yet at the table of (Great family words like DANKE compared to the service and at every beverage order the formulation ICH WILL was applied instead of ICH MÖCHTE. But you can blame such children. No, because the parents consistently pretend to behave in a restaurant. Behavior Conformity, thanks to heaven, fillet and shrimps were served. The daily supplements of both dishes consisted of a very fresh salad, with well-coordinated Mediterranean vegetables. The fillet was of excellent meat quality and was served on the point as ordered medium well. The garlic mushroom sauce was guaranteed to come from no bag. She was freshly prepared, a pleasure. My view wandered on the plate of Hasimausi. Four woundable large giant panels, half opened, ready to eat. Where the shrimps could only be seen, they were wrapped with parma ham. So almost Surf Turf in the Sicilian version. By Hasimausi an unrestricted praise. In other words, class. Dessert? Well, Dolci from the country that had to experience 64 governments since the end of World War II in 72 years has never been my case, just too sweet to me. And that's where my suggestion is to improve the Ristorante Taormina. Why is there no cheese dessert listed on the map? Formaggio from Berlusconi, Fiat Ferrari and Eros with Ramazotti is a top class, especially since the buffalo mozarella on the appetizer already convinced. Well, I could have asked for the Formaggio, but I didn't. Instead, we restricted ourselves to Grappa Espresso. What else was noticed: On the map of the Ristorante Taormina the ignorant guest is explained exactly what the different cooking levels for steaks (Rare, Medium Rare, Medium, Medium Well and Well Done mean. Certainly there are still eaters who don't know that exactly. What we found very funny, however, was the explanation for Well Done: WELL DONE is completely fried. You have ruined a piece of nature, but if you want it so, order it calmly. The service acts friendly, flott and was always present. 5 stars. If we were still convinced with a cheese plate at the end, the 5 stars would be inconceivable. But so completely convinced 4.5 stars. Without tadel cleanliness, please 5 stars. The ambience is simple, but as good as possible. For 3.5 stars. And what is served on the plate is worth the money without restriction. Therefore for price/performance 5 stars. We particularly liked that the restaurant does not promise any culinary (health services, but rather appeals to the guest in the card rather in the ground and honest manner. grazia tante. p. 1. The rest of the audience was completely fine and far away from the Flodder family, who had probably lost himself here. I think it was the exception here. ps 2. The two deposited images for the Ristorante Taormina here at GastroGuide seem to be ancient and do not reflect what was served us."

"Ich war schon 3 mal länger in Indien und gehe auch in Deutschland sehr regelmässig indisch essen, und kann das Delhi Roma nur allerwärmstens empfehlen! Die indischen Gerichte sind köstlich (die italienischen habe ich noch nie probiert...) und die Inhaber (ein indisches Paar) sind super nett und bemüht! Man sieht auch häufig andere Inder im Restaurant, was sicherlich ein gutes Zeichen ist! Unsere Favoriten sind die Nummer 35 und die Nummer 39, die wir auch sehr oft abholen und zu Hause essen. Übrigens auch kein Problem, etwas mitzunehmen und später noch mal in der Aluschale im Ofen aufzuwärmen! Das Ambiente im Restaurant ist nicht besonders schick oder gemütlich, aber ehrlich gesagt ist das in indischen Restaurants in Indien ganz genau so! Also, probiert es unbedingt aus!"

"Ok, I'm gonna be a bit harsh on this one... the place is actually not bad. We even gave it a second chance after trying the pizza (which was above average on the Wuppertal-scene), to see if it could become our favourite italian 'im Tal'.The restaurant is well advertised in the local press and always packed as a result, which I don't think is justified. Location might also help.The 'Do it yourself' pizza might sound like a nice idea, but certainly more of an american one than an italian one. If some non-italian feels like having pinapple or chicken on his pizza I can get over it, really, I can... but it shouldn't be encouraged. The bruschetta 'Fai da te' is a bit unusual but good. The tagliatelle zio Tino promised a lot and delivered little (taste)...It is personal opinion but the dishes lack authenticity... so just 3***."

"Wuppertal - niet eens zo heel ver weg van Nederland. Aanleiding voor het bezoek was de bijzonder zweeftrein, de Schwebebahn. Al meer dan een eeuw oud, en echt zeer indrukwekkend. Maar goed, als je ter plekke bent, wil je natuurlijk ook een fatsoenlijke hap eten. Een beetje rondkijken op Internet leverde dit adres op. En aangezien veel Italiaanse restaurants dezelfde gerechten op de kaart hebben, is een onderling 'kwaliteitsonderzoek' niet zo moeilijk.Amalfi ligt aan een vierkant plein, dat in de zomer ook de mogelijkheid biedt buiten te eten. Wij deden dat niet - een tikje te fris, naar ons idee.Binnen is de zaak betrekkelijk eenvoudig ingericht, met in de aankleding wat Italiaanse accenten. Donkere houten tafels, met place-mats. Jammer, wij houden van een echt tafelkleed en linnen servetten. Maar dat is inderdaad een kwestie van smaak.De bediening was attent, gaf adequaat advies en toelichting bij de specialiteiten van de dag.Onze keuze viel op carpaccio di manzo, carpaccio di tonno en caprese. Alle drie prima. De tonijn was heerlijk vers; naar mijn idee wel een tikje teveel citroensap. Misschien een idee op de citroen er los bij te doen, zodat de gast zelf de hoeveelheid kan bepalen? De rucola was in iets te grote hoeveelheden aanwezig bij de rundercarpaccio en de caprese. Maar: buffelmozzarella! En zo hoort het ook.Voor ons hoofdgerecht konden twee leden van het gezin helaas geen carré van lam nemen, omdat het niet voorradig was. In plaats daarvan werd van de dagkaart gekozen voor een prima entrecote van Argentijns rund, respectievelijk een moot tonijn met mosterdsaus. Beide gerechten waren prima klaargemaakt, en vooral over de tonijn hoorde ik enthousiaste reacties van de overzijde van de tafel. De ravioli met ricotta en spinazie op carpaccio deed dochter verzuchten dat ze dat de volgende keer weer wilde. Duidelijk, dus. Zelf had ik van de dagkaart een saltimbocca genomen. Die was perfect. Opvallend was dat de ham en salie niet, zoals vaak, met een prikker waren vastgemaakt, maar gewoon aan de vleeslapjes vast zaten. Dat eet wel zo prettig.Buiten Italië kun je, geloof ik, nooit zelf je contorni kiezen. Ook hier niet: de borden waren voorzien van wat goede verse spinazie, en patate al forno. In orde.En klinkt het raar als ik zeg dat de porties 'Duits van omvang' waren? Met andere woorden: we hadden ons buikje rond gegeten. Ik bedoel het dus positief.S. Pellegrino en een mooie fles Greco di Tufo erbij, en koffie toe - voor een dessert was geen ruimte meer... ;-)Na afloop kregen we nog een grappa aangeboden, en kwam er voor de kinderen uit de keuken nog een klein ijsje - auf das Haus.Dit alles voor nog geen € 175.Kortom, wij hebben hier goed gegeten, en zullen bij een volgende bezoek aan de stad hier graag terugkomen.Als ik al minpuntjes zou moeten noemen, dan dit: de afvalbak op het herentoilet was erg vol met papieren doekjes.Reserveren via de website van het restaurant leverde niet een toegezegde bevestiging per mail op. Toen ik voor alle zekerheid enkele dagen tevoren even belde, werd me gezegd dat ik die toch nog gekregen zou hebben, maar dat het zo via de telefoon ook geregeld was.Niettemin: van harte aanbevolen, zowel wegens de kwaliteit van het eten als de vriendelijke bediening."
