Stromboli da Angelo — Restaurant in Hanover

although my dish looked good, unfortunately, it just tasted like oil.. . my spaghetti scampi was cooked to death and then buried under a lot of oil. so much so that i was forced to eat a full basket of bread. my coke zero was also completely flat, no gas at all. anyway, when the waitress asked me several times if everything was okay, i told her that i didn't really like the food. i thanked her, paid my bill plus tip, and got up. the reason for this review is not really the food, but the incident that happened afterward. the owner called me over in an impudent way, even though i was already on the other side of the street. i still went back. the owner came way too close to my face and demanded that i complain to him and only him. he also repeatedly mentioned the word complaint, to which i explained to him that there had never been a complaint and that i wanted to avoid exactly a situation like this. the owner then tried to explain what I did wrong by ordering the dish. with his finger way too close to my face, he tried to intimidate me in front of all the other guests who were sitting outside, in the middle of the pedestrian path. i didn't let anything go back, paid, tipped, and got up. i had to go through all this just because the owner wasn't open to criticism. criticism that i, as a paying customer, shared exclusively with the waitress after repeated requests. i absolutely cannot understand the behavior and certainly cannot tolerate it. we definitely won't be...

Very disapointig and expensive. Too much salt in every single dish. Lasagne over an undercooked at the same time, swimming in some strange tasting liquid (tomato i guess). Pork a la romana with sage just way too salty, like they had to mask the low quality of ingredients. Antipasti bland, no taste at all. Insalata mista - they were obviously too busy to cut the veggies properly, leaving me with almost half of a cucumber to deal with. They serve olives with some bread at the beginning, which is a nice gesture. But olives were old and stale tasting. Service ok, but forgot our order for the second drink. Vine is ok. The tables are uncomfortable close to one another. And still... this place is full! For me, that's just unthinkable.. I don't understand how people think that food here tastes good - and for that...

Was soll man sagen. Das Stromboli ist so eine Art Leib-und-Magen-Italienier derjenigen, die im Umkreis in der List wohnen. Was auch heißt: In der Regel ist es sehr voll, auch wenn im Sommer Plätze draußen sind. Eine Reservierung ist also in der Regel angebracht.

Es gibt eine gute Auswahl Standardgerichte, die man bei anderen Italienern in Deutschland auch findet, die Küche bemüht sich aber, etwa über die Empfehlungskarte, auch etwas mehr zu bieten. Und das gelingt in der Regel recht gut, das Essen ist eigentlich immer zu loben. Und der Service bleibt, auch wenn es aufgrund der vielen Gäste hektisch wird, immer freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Manche behaupten, im Stromboli machten sie mit die besten Pizzen der Stadt - so viele verschiedene Pizza-Bäcker hab ich jetzt noch nicht ausprobiert, dass ich das unterschreiben könnte. Auf jeden Fall sind die Pizzen sehr gut - wenn wir mal so gar keine Lust zum Kochen oder Ausgehen haben, holen wir uns die Pizza lieber da, als sie bei einem Lieferdienst zu bestellen.

Man sollte sich keine Wunder erwarten oder gar eine Reise durch diverse unterschiedliche italienische Regionalküchen. Aber als fast schon klassischer "Italienier um's Eck" bietet das Stromboli solide, gute Küche, mit der man eigentlich immer anständig...
