I have been to this location at least 5 times because my partner likes its convenience to the Globus and others stores in Lahnstein. The last visit was in late May 2015. In the past, I have sat both inside and in the winter-garden. And I have also eaten both lunch and dinner at this restaurant.The location is OK. The Restaurant and Pizzeria is located in the middle of the block on AdolfstraÃe in Lahnstein. The location is convenient for those in Lahnstein or for those shopping at or near the Globus in Lahnstein.On almost every visit, we were friendly greeted by the owner or waiter/waitress, as we arrived. However, on one occasion as we arrived, we asked if we could sit in the winter-garden and the waitress disappeared for a while without saying a word. She just left us standing there at the entrance. Then finally, she came back and escorted us to a table in the winter-garden.The restaurant is decorated with a somewhat Italian motif. The tables are nicely decorated with a table cloth, a candle, and cloth napkins (which I prefer over cloth). In the winter to keep the cold air out, they have a curtain that hangs inside the doorway. Both inside seating and seating in the winter-garden is tight. When the tables are full with people, both inside and in winter-garden there isnât much space between tables. In fact, when the tables are full with people, it is chair back against chair back. It would NOT be a place for a group special occasion. The Menu is easy to read and understand. Plus, salads, soups, and vegetarian meals are also available. The food is sometime OK and other times not. Prices are above average, fair and the portions are appropriate. On my last visit, I had the Schnitzel with salad and fries. Substitutions of another type of potato or rice for the fries, is possible. While the food came hot and together, as it should be, my schnitzel on my last visit was dry and hard. So, unfortunately I can NOT recommend the Schnitzel. However, I can recommend the Tomato Soup, Salami Pizza, Spaghetti, and Tortellini, which I have had in the past. Despite the food not always having the best taste, the place is always busy. Noise level can be quite loud both inside and outside, since there is little material in the floor, wall or ceiling to absorb the sounds.During one visit there were small gnats flying around our table in the winter-garden. We mentioned it to the owner and at the time he did little to correct the problem. However, on subsequent visits the gnats were gone.As a mentioned, one can either sit inside or in the winter-garden. In the winter-garden the area is covered by a retractable roof. Because it does get warm sometimes in the winter-garden, one can request that it be retracted. Some parts of the restaurant need renovation, repair, or replaced. The outside winter-garden ceiling blinds were bent and look broken. The winter-garden ceiling glass/plexiglas looks dirty. Unfortunately, the optical view of these items has an influence on the atmosphere, the taste of ones meal, and therefore they detract from ones overall eating experience. We are always friendly wished a pleasant day, as we pay the bill and are offered a Grappa before leaving the restaurant.This Restaurant and Pizzeria has its own Internet page, which is very well organized and informative with an On-line Menu. However the internet page is only in German. There is no parking lot, so one has to go hunting for a parking spot on the street or down the street. Depending on where one parks, one may have to pay to park, if they want to pay again to have the privilege to eat at this restaurant. Based on taste, price, service, and atmosphere, overall this restaurant receives my low recommendation.

We almost got a table when we noticed the loud-speakers and the bunga-bunga music, so we left in a hurry.

Good things:Portions are fairly big.Prices are reasonableFood quality/taste is averageGood location and outdoor servingBad things:The service is bad. We waited for more than 45 min. for our starter and the place wasnât full at all. Furthermore, guests arriving at the same time or after us got their food before we did. When we asked politely (even in German) if they had forgotten our order, the waitress acted offended and even arrogant. With an irritated attitude she told us that the food was being prepared. Not a single polite comment throughout the whole meal to make up for it or excuse the waiting time. We even saw the waitress speaking badly about us to a colleague and pointing fingers. Even the guests next to us which were local people told us that this was really bad service and offered some bread while we were waiting. Itâs a shame that bad service can ruin the experience of a decent meal. Wouldât go there again for sure

We arrived late and they told us that the kitchen was closed, but would check if they could accommodate us and they did, which we greatly appreciated. The ambience is wonderful, with the restaurant overlooking the Rhine, apart from it's decor. The staff were really nice and spoke very good English. Food was cooked well and service was relatively fast.

Friendly and welcoming staff, good value food & drinks, and the food was brilliant, the menu being a mix of croatian and italian.We were really touched when on our last night we'd stopped for drinks on the way back to our hotel, and were recognised from our previous visit, to be given some home-made cakes which the staff team were sharing as it was one of their birthdays. We will definitely return!Dear 456charlie,it was our pleasure to have your positive energyin our Restaurant!In a high season it is not always easy to make an unforgettable memories to our guests, but a people like you and you friends are our motivation!Off course that we hope to have you in our Restaurant again!

We had dinner twice while staying in a holiday apartment in the area. The pizzas were excellent, the pasta was between decent (Cannelloni) and very good (4 fromaggi). When we were there the service was fine, but the restaurant was also not very full.Recommendation: The house dressing on the salad is the better choice.

Ich hatte 2 x Pizza und 2 x Gyros bestellt. Geliefert wurde 2 x Pizza und 1 x Gyros. Pizza war ok. Gyros war ungenieÃbar und aus der Pfanne. Die Qualität und Service lassen zu wünschen übrig.
