Restaurant Piazzas — Restaurant in Cologne

The place is overall good enough to eat something if you're a local, but I have mixed feeling about recommending it to someone who isn't one.

The cons: The seats aren't the most comfortable, but they're enough for what they're there for, that's all though, the environment doesn't seem so "Italian - ish" if that's what you're looking for, and the menu doesn't have a big variety at all. If you're someone who's socially uncomfortable or you don't have social anxiety, I wouldn't recommended, and that because of the distance between the tables which is almost non-existent. About the prices, if I'm honest, I would maybe think twice about going there if I knew about the in the first place, but they're not the worst that I've seen for spaghetti.

Now about the pros: The place' atmosphere might not be the most "Italian" you've ever seen but it has a pretty okay atmosphere (*). I don't know about the other dishes but the food, the noodles with shrimps that I bought and ate, where super-good and I would go there with someone who hasn't tasted them again. The place seemed overall cleaned and the service was friendly enough that you'd feel "warm". Also, for the building's position, the restaurant is pretty big from the inside.

(*At the time and day when I was there, there also we're not many people so I couldn't compare it against if there's many people there...

Found this place ages ago when it first opened. Food was great and the staff were friendly. I visited multiple times pre-covid.

Visited again today. They were rude probably because they were stressed out. Then they asked me to pay in cash. Minimum €50 spend for card payment.

There's no problem for me to get cash etc. It's the whole way they treat their customers really doesnt let customers (it could be just me!) feel uncomfortable.

I was really looking forward to a proper meal here. Now I don't think...

Das Piazzas ist eines unserer Lieblingsrestaurants in Köln. Gerade wenn wir in der Innenstadt unterwegs sind oder spontan abends noch Essen gehen möchten, ist dieses Restaurant unsere erste Wahl. Das mediterrane Menü ist immer top frisch und sehr gut abgeschmeckt. Fleisch- und Fischfans aber auch Liebhaber von vegetarischen Gerichten kommen hier auf den Genuss von kreativen und qualitativ hochwertigen Speisen. Wir empfehlen klar einen Dreiklang bestehend aus Vorspeise, Hauptgang und Dessert zu nehmen. Außerdem gibt es eine gut sortierte Auswahl an exquisiten Weinen.... :) Bitte unbedingt eine Empfehlung geben lassen. Das Ambiente ist modern und gleichzeitig gemütlich. Man fühlt sich einfach gut, wenn man dort ankommt und Platz nimmt. Trotz, dass das Restaurant einen Steinschlag vom Kölner Dom und den umliegenden großen Straßen von Köln gelegen ist, liegt das Piazzas mitten in einer Ruheoase. Für eine Snack in der Mittagspause, kann man im Sommer sogar auf der Terrasse sitzen. :) Der Service ist sehr zuvorkommen und freundlich. Da wir seit Jahren schon Stammgäste sind, sind wir eher bei Freunden, als in einem Restaurant. Die Chefs haben ein offenes Herz und haben ein gutes Gespür für Menschen.... Unserer absolute Empfehlung für ein schönes Abendessen als Paar oder mit...
