"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!"

"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."

"Oh, it's just that I haven't written an evaluation here for 3 months. Was it laziness, unlust or lack of time? Most of the time we've been in restaurants we've known for years. There are no significant fluctuations in the quality of food and services. So why should I describe such restaurants several times? In addition, there was a summer holiday, which after the administration of 2 servings BioNTech thanks to Ugur Sahin, could be enjoyed again relatively relaxed. Let's hope this remains. Probably there is a third BioNTech supplement soon. We write Tuesday, 24.08.2021. Yes In the middle of the week, we rarely go for food from lack of time. Fridays Saturdays are actually our favorites. Since we had friends from abroad, it was just in the middle of the week. Ruck zuck had transferred Hasimausi the car 200 meters from Primavera a Merano: spring parked in Merano. In the early evening, the remaining meters passed by the beautiful Laurentiusplatz, where the papal St. Laurentius Basilica is located. In the times of the election campaign before the Bundestag elections, the party regularly takes up politicians from the 2nd and 4th levels to celebrate. This evening I saw only a half of 15, a maximum of 20 green plaques in the square. And what politician in this way we asked ourselves was today's guest of the Greens? Like Annalenchen Baerbock or the Top Frisur model of the Greens, Dr. Anton Hofreiter? Neither. It was the chairman of the Group of the Greens in the Bundestag, Katrin Göring Eckhardt. Come to a city with 355,000 inhabitants and a whole 15 to 20 green claqueurs are present. This must create frustration. But you can't show the frustration, because behind the next tree, a journalist with a micro and a camera already sits and listens with the aim of punching the politician into the pan. But good, so everyone has to wear his burden. Although I don't choose green, I already had some sympathy with Mrs. Göring Eckhardt. I have only one election event that I attended about 40 years ago. Two or three sentences later. From now on we went to the restaurant Primavera a Merano located vis a vis. In the lower part there is a beautiful summer sun terrace, which turns into a fully glazed conservatory in the colder season, including a free view of the outdoor strolling audience. Although it is pleasant there in summer, we do not like the relatively narrow seating there. Especially at a business dinner, the neighboring tables get a lot of information live. Ergo usually takes us to the first floor. Unless the terrace is only small, which is hardly possible on weekends. The table was reserved for 4 people. As always perfectly covered. Pleasant feel-good ambience. A warm welcome. As always done by men between 25 and 40 years of age who actually live and implement the term service. Student service e.g. social sciences will not find a job here. The cards were handed. The question of drinks. Quickly there was unity after 4 x gosset, although we have been wishing for years that there would also be alternatives to this on the map. That is why we do not become unfaithful to the restaurant. We come here again and again, because the gastronomic Wolfgang Schmitz understands combining a kitchen from Italy/South Tyrol with German accents. To this end, new creative additions, even lunches for business lunches, are often added. The kitchen greeted with fresh light and dark nut bread, olives for Hasimausi and two herbs dips. We made our choice. The appetizers: For my lady the seafood salad 13,50 Euro For me Scampis and scallops 16,50 Euro The wine lover will surely find something here with the drinks. Loose 10 to 15 open wines are offered and over 100 bottle wines. After all, the Primavera has a vinotheque. The card ends up at a 2008 Opus One Mondavi Phillipine de Rothschild for 290, Euro, which tells me not much as a professional beer consumer. However, I have long since died in awe of de Rothschild, which are now also in the shelves of Lidl and Kaufland. Hope that all the harvesting winegrowers don't slaughter me ideologically here. Mea maximum culpa. For Hasimausi an open gray burgundy, for me lacking cum, a pils. As main dishes: For Hasimausi the Irish lamb cart 26,50 Euro For me a Limousin cattle fillet 25,50 The very cool tempered Gosset Brut was served quickly, the glasses were very generously gifted. Similarly, the gray burgundy then served for my dear lady. The service looks short if, for example, if bread was still desired etc. and served relatively flott the appetizers. Already the optics on the plate of my appetizer convinced. The scampis were well prepared, the scallops tasted slightly nutty, just as my taste nerves so desire. Leaf spinach. Thank God the fruits of the sea were not spilled and drowned with the lobster. Rather, the lobster Saucenspiegel was distributed alongside the marine animals. Thus, the guest determines how much or how little he consumes from this little bit and not the cook in the kitchen. And Hasimausi ? She expressed her full satisfaction over the Calamaris, Scampis, Crevetten, Pulpo and Shells, which this seafood salad wonderfully cried. Also our friends were more than satisfied with the beef carpaccio and the served antipasti. Fast, flotted and canned has been preserved. It was noticeable whether wine, water or beer was missing. Our friends from Brazil tasted the wine from the middle of Europe recognizably well. The service refilled and had always immediately realized that there was an increasing air in my Pils glass. Only Hasimausi acted as a responsible and qualified passenger car driver under the 0.5 Promille limit! NOCH! While we waited for the main courts and chatted about everything possible, I fell down a one that I wanted to report very briefly about a campaign event that is over 40 years behind. At that time, I was a young hopper. Announced at that time was a campaign event in the venerable Wuppertal stadium at the Zoo. The speaker: FRANZ JOSEF STRAUSS. Polarizing multiple Federal Minister with various scandals, CSU Chef and Bavarian Prime Minister. A highly dazzling and controversial political personality, unique in the German post-war period. In the evening the weather was cold and wet. Strauß arrived much late. He was celebrated like a star. How many visitors would probably come today if King Markus Söder of Bavaria would speak publicly here in NRW? Maybe 500 or 1,000 followers? At the time at FRANZ JOSEF STRAUSS there were a total of 26,000 enthusiastic visitors in the stadium at the zoo. Unimaginable today. Well, I changed the subject in order not to be embarrassed to have to discuss with our very sympathetic friends from Brazil about the Brazilian policy of Bolsonaro. Voila, two of the always present waiters served at the same time the four main dishes, each with announcement. Perfetto the service and also perfetto what was recognizable there on the plates. Perfetto went on. The first cut of the beef fillet exactly fulfilled my wishes. Like MEDUIM WELL ordered, the excellent meat from the cattle from the land of Macron was also cooked. Right on the point. Böhnchen and baked potatoes. Not so convincing the Barolo Sauce. However, I was satisfied with it, because my favourite is mostly the pure meat flavour and the pure meat taste that sometimes destroys the one or the other sauce. Conclusion. Very satisfied. A look towards Hasimausi on her Irish lamb carree. Great satisfaction. On her plate the same little as was served on my fillet. My lady explicitly praised the sauce was clear! Our friends wanted to eat a local dish. Mutig I had recommended Viennese calf carvings. With some concern, I looked at how the sliced piece of meat made in Austria was consumed. I reaped a lot of praise. Whether it really caused enthusiasm in the palate or whether it was just courtesy Made in Brasil, I don't know. No matter how, the mood was good. The padrone looked past the table. We ordered the wonderful raw milk cheese selection with grapes and figs. So are we in Marsalla. When the Morand fruit fires, or the Grappa il Merlot, were still very attractive, we decided that the taxi had to be carried out. But not directly after leaving the Primavera a Merano. There is one more reason why we always like to board here. There are several pubs, cafes, one or other lounge, bistros, wine bar and other restaurants in the vicinity of a few 100 meters. Everything from rustic to dense, from sturdy to fine dining. Enjoy this environment best on Fridays and Saturdays. A bit more about this, like the Luise Bar Cafe. So once again from a summer evening in Wuppertal, a spring in Merano. And that always likes. To the stars. For food without if and but 4.5 stars. Service and cleanliness earn 5 stars. The ambience would actually earn 4 stars if there weren't the somewhat cramped terrace. With 4.5 stars the PLV. What we like most emotionally is the fact that we do not have completely covered culinary promises, as unfortunately it has become increasingly common. There is then promised a high-fat cuisine, but then heated in the kitchen convenience food. That's different. Here it is still noticeably fresh and handcrafted carefully cooked."
