VAPIANO Köln Mediapark

4 N H - 2 months ago

This is the fanciest Vapiano I have ever visited with courteous chefs, good food but the bread was a bit tough to eat and nice drink options e.g. elderflower mint, pomegranate and others. Lots of seating options upstairs, downstairs and outside. There is a strange card system for orders and payments. I guess it keeps everything digital. Be sure to pay only when done ordering. Average €10.50/person

Very good place to spend time. We were at off peak time and could spend a nice time without disturbance.
Pasta was good and can recommend. Instead of Pizza, came up with Pinsa. They are expensive and does not taste as good as earlier Pizza.

I will keep it short …
The experience was horrible I won’t be coming back. The staff was so rude. The eye rolling when I went to order was embarrassing if it wasn’t raining as bad I would have left instantly.
The food didn’t make it enjoyable either. I’ll keep my distance.

Super slow service, had to wait at least 20mi.to ask for the food and them the time for it to be ready. The cook was taking his sweet time. Very expensive for what it is. This particular Vapiano doesn't even have pizza. Will not be returning.

A wolf in sheep's clothing. Gives the impression of being an Italian restaurant when in reality there's nothing Italian about it's food. Pasta and risotto is pre-cooked and the chef's know nothing about Italian cooking. They throw in some random Italian words to seem real but it's just smoke. parmigiano they put on the food is not even close to the real Parmigiano. It's tasteless and bland. In a nutshell it's just a fast food joint which looks hip but doesn't have the genuine taste or textures of a trattoria let alone a good Italian restaurant. As the Italians say, "Tutto fumo e niente arrosto"!

We waited 20 mins to find a table during rush hours. It's self service restaurant, the cocktail options are not so many but they're okay. Nothing great. We had a pasta, pizza and spaghetti. When we wanted to order for a penne, we were told it was not available also the chef said there's no more cheese at 8:45pm, around an hour or so before it closes. Didn't feel welcomed at all. There're better places to find a good Italian restaurant than this. I would give this a pass or a generous average rating.

Average food nice restaurant decor!
Service sucks (bad system)!
Mean greeter told me i cant use the bathroom bc im not a customer even though i was sitting outside eating their damned overpriced food for 30 minutes.
Way overpriced, i paid 23 euros for a small salad and a very small lasagna ( actually both are tiny imo compared to other places) plus 2 colas.
You have to wait so long to get ur meal!
