Tangente Restaurant & Pizzeria — Restaurant in Bremen

I was on a surprise visit to Bremen and found this place 'by accident' whilst walking through some backstreets of a very groovy part of town.

It already looked very cosy and charming from the outside, and the menu also looked very promising, offering a good choice of Pizzas and Pasta dishes, but also unusual dishes like fried oyster mushrooms or mussels.

As I went in I still had some time to bridge before my friend would arrive and asked for a jug of wine. I was then offered to taste the different wines they had before making my choice, a gesture I really liked.

Whilst I was enjoying the atmosphere, reading my book, I was also brought some complimentary bread and dip, to bridge my waiting time.

Once my friend arrived we both decided to order mussels, of which there was a large variety of different recipes to chose from, and they were absolutely delicious (we chose the spicy ones).

All in all, the atmosphere was very cosy, the food fantastic, and the staff were very forthcoming and charming.

I would highly recommend this place and will happily visit again on my next...

"Tangente Qualität - you know it, you feel it!" This is the phrase that I started to use ever since my first visits in December 2005.

Das Ambiente ist urig und die Bedienung war sehr freundlich.

Das Essen war jedoch enttäuschend und nicht so gut, wie ich es von vor einigen Jahren in Erinnerung hatte. Vermutlich gab es einen Besitzerwechsel...

Das Essen ist nicht authentisch italienisch (in Teilen eher arabisch oder türkisch?) ; ihm fehlt zudem die Raffinesse.

Die Cannelloni waren in Ordnung; die Pizza wirkte eher wie eine Fertig-Pizza. Der Antipasti-Teller war sehr enttäuschend und hatte keine Ähnlichkeit mit einer echten italienischen Antipasti. Wirkte ehre wie ein Teller von einem Imbiss. Viel Eisberg- und Rucola- Salat mit einer dicken Soße - eine Art Zaziki; dicke Scheiben Tomaten + Gurke, dicke Scheiben Feta-Käse, Oliven, eingelegter Knoblauch und Kichererbsen Salat.

Der "Antipasti -Teller" wirkte ehre hingeklatscht und nicht sehr raffiniert.

Ich werde leider nicht mehr wiederkommen, da mich das Essen; insbesondere der Antipasti-Teller und die Pizza nicht...
