"If a family has been leading an Italian Sicilian restaurant for 40 years without interruption in a German city, you can talk about a tradition of Italian Sicilians. Forty years at the same location, vis a vis of the Wuppertal swimming pool and not even an ideal location, about 1.5 kilometres from the city. We haven't been here for a long time, of course it's not 40 years ago, but two or three years. We entered. Just like before, always full. The atmosphere has changed to the advantage. No more South-European tourists Kitsch, more puristic and therefore contemporary. A friendly restaurant chef greeted us. That he wore a very chic short black pants (until the knee, surprised us first, but didn't bother us. His figure allowed to wear this designer piece in the German summer. He accompanied us to our nice 2 he table in a side room of the restaurant 's. They used to say Separee. In the Separee there were two more table, plus and above all more to the guests there later. The table was nicely covered, including flowers and an LED light cube. Just taken place a pretty, black-haired female operation appeared and handed us the cards. The offer made a careful impression. Of course, pasta, also pizzas, but also various beef fillets and something from the sea. There is also a daily map. The description of the dishes went beyond the standard Italian Sicilians. Everything seemed very creative. Either the Ragazzi in the kitchen understood their craft or they could sell themselves well. We ordered the drinks that were served immediately. In the meantime we had made our choice. Two times the Antipasto Taormina (12, Euro a Person , Filetto de Manzo (Rinderfilet mit Stein Pilz, 29, Euro und die Gamberoni a la Taormina (Riesengarnelen mit Parmaschinken, 26, Euro). While we felt a bit loud when entering the restaurant, it was in the Separee (but much quieter). The pretty blacks appeared quickly back at the table and served black olives with a chillie pod and some bread. In fact, only ETWAS bread. If you cut a small slice of light bread into four parts, then the ETWAS gives bread. That didn't bother me. Olives are not my case, but will be consumed by Hasimausi. And pure bread without a dip, no thanks. My view migrated to the two neighboring tables. Vatter, mother, plus son shortly before the end of primary school, plus publishing daughter of the type uh datt is here the pure etching bored age . Hasimausi cried to me to say nothing now. I also couldn't want it, but the black-haired beauty served the appetizers. First impression: WAU! No it was not a mass that was served but a presentation that was amazed. In the kitchen a foodstylist had to be active. The salami slices were draped to roses, as were the ham from parma. The buffalo mozarella balls rested in a bed of basil leaves. In addition, Bruschetta is covered with inlaid paprika and mushrooms, which were more reminiscent of tarts. It was noticeable that the bread had a much better quality than the previously served bread to the olives. What the optics of this antipasto promised then also created a lot of fun in the mouth. My dear Italian Sicilian, for that a thick compliment. Antipasto can throw on the plate many. This was clearly different. A very good quality of products, beautifully presented. We were completely satisfied with the appetizers, just as with the very attentive service. Always present, always immediately a reaction to empty glasses and in between 2 or 3 times the demand whether everything is okay. Now in the run-up to the main courts I had some time to take care of the neighboring table (with eyes and ears). And O miracles, Hasimausi did not speak out of her discontent. She was also surprised at the behavior of the (Great family at the side table. A lot of people remember the TV family Flodder. The pupil got on his smartphone with his left hand while he tried to interrogate spaghetti in his mouth with his right hand. Various attempts were repeated. After all, he used a fork. All this was crowned by the fact that cell phones sounded audible to us. Eben Video Games live and in color. The continuously bored daughter kept her head deeper and deeper into the deep pasta plate to put the spaghetti in the mouth with a spoon. She cried to her brother several times: You are annoying. All this didn't bother the mother, who also combined cell phones with the devour of her food. I didn't know this circus number yet. Eating at the same time and operating the phone is artistic. Only Vatter grabbed the phone in between. No one was noticeable yet at the table of (Great family words like DANKE compared to the service and at every beverage order the formulation ICH WILL was applied instead of ICH MÖCHTE. But you can blame such children. No, because the parents consistently pretend to behave in a restaurant. Behavior Conformity, thanks to heaven, fillet and shrimps were served. The daily supplements of both dishes consisted of a very fresh salad, with well-coordinated Mediterranean vegetables. The fillet was of excellent meat quality and was served on the point as ordered medium well. The garlic mushroom sauce was guaranteed to come from no bag. She was freshly prepared, a pleasure. My view wandered on the plate of Hasimausi. Four woundable large giant panels, half opened, ready to eat. Where the shrimps could only be seen, they were wrapped with parma ham. So almost Surf Turf in the Sicilian version. By Hasimausi an unrestricted praise. In other words, class. Dessert? Well, Dolci from the country that had to experience 64 governments since the end of World War II in 72 years has never been my case, just too sweet to me. And that's where my suggestion is to improve the Ristorante Taormina. Why is there no cheese dessert listed on the map? Formaggio from Berlusconi, Fiat Ferrari and Eros with Ramazotti is a top class, especially since the buffalo mozarella on the appetizer already convinced. Well, I could have asked for the Formaggio, but I didn't. Instead, we restricted ourselves to Grappa Espresso. What else was noticed: On the map of the Ristorante Taormina the ignorant guest is explained exactly what the different cooking levels for steaks (Rare, Medium Rare, Medium, Medium Well and Well Done mean. Certainly there are still eaters who don't know that exactly. What we found very funny, however, was the explanation for Well Done: WELL DONE is completely fried. You have ruined a piece of nature, but if you want it so, order it calmly. The service acts friendly, flott and was always present. 5 stars. If we were still convinced with a cheese plate at the end, the 5 stars would be inconceivable. But so completely convinced 4.5 stars. Without tadel cleanliness, please 5 stars. The ambience is simple, but as good as possible. For 3.5 stars. And what is served on the plate is worth the money without restriction. Therefore for price/performance 5 stars. We particularly liked that the restaurant does not promise any culinary (health services, but rather appeals to the guest in the card rather in the ground and honest manner. grazia tante. p. 1. The rest of the audience was completely fine and far away from the Flodder family, who had probably lost himself here. I think it was the exception here. ps 2. The two deposited images for the Ristorante Taormina here at GastroGuide seem to be ancient and do not reflect what was served us."

"And yet another review from 2012 from my beginning 2015 No desire to cook yourself and after the previous reviews, the very polarized also skeptical curious we decided to visit the Trattoria Lorenzo this Tuesday evening we did not regret it. The Trattoria, as you can see at the fixed interior, was once a mountain restaurant, now enriched with Italian details, which are expected to be found in a Trattoria. The photos of the homepage give a quite good impression. You sit on various antique chairs of old wooden tables, where the antic should not be a criticism, because it radiates cosiness and fits the style. We have reservations for the short term, but it turns out unnecessarily, as the place was visited very little. Tuesday to Thursday are by the way promotion days with offers, for example only on Thursday pizza. These actions are quite inexpensive and also for the smaller wallet. The menu is not particularly extensive, but offers something for every taste, there is a selection of appetizers, including mixed antipasti, a salad selection, noodle fish and meat dishes. The map is also available on the Internet. We ordered an open white wine, with the obligatory bottle of water, as an appetizer mixed antipasti, a mixed salad and as a main dish navy and saltimbocca. The beverages came fast, to criticize would only be that the rather young and polite, perhaps a little insecure waiter, put the drinks on the table and did not invade. The appetizers came after a reasonable waiting period. The mixed salad was fresh and crisp with balsamico and olive oil, with roasted pine nuts. The antipasti also with some salad, tomato slices, fried pickled zucchini, aubergine, onion, paprika, mozzarella, parmas ham and Italian salami, all double, therefore good to divide. Everything very fresh and tasty. The bread (baguette I would have liked a little crispy. We had to wait for the main dishes, but not too long, the preparation probably started only after we finished with the appetizers. It's not bad, because we didn't have to say anything, and we could have said it if we were in a hurry. The mullet was dressed on a bed of ruccola and cherry tomatoes, with rosemary flakes being cooked as salt potatoes and then roasted in olive oil. Potatoes sufficiently solid, not boiled and flavored. The hull dressed in several pieces, grilled might have been cooked a little longer. Among the Saltimbocca there were also rosemary spices, Zuchini and carrot strips and Broccoli, the vegetables were perfectly cooked with fresh olive oil. I would have liked the vegetables on an extra dish on a plate with the Saltimbocca. The saltimbocca from veal were perfectly fine, tastefully, I did not miss sages or parmaschinkens as described in a previous review. The sauce, as it should be, was wiped with wine and mixed with butter, not a thick cream tune as you ever experienced. Normally I know Saltimbocca collapsed with sage ham insert, here the ham was laid on the outside one side, but ok, the taste was not tolerable. Critical points would be that I would have liked the meat a little more tenderly and that the dish could be visually more beautifully dressed. I missed something here. The obligatory espressi, somewhere else they would go through as a doppelio were nice with crema, for our taste somewhat bitter, which could be relativeized with sufficient sugar. A small supplement to the espresso would not have been bad, but it can sometimes be expected in top restaurants where the espresso costs 2.80. On the house there was a very good Grappa Riserva, nicely mild and slightly sweet as I like him. Conclusion, we like to come back when it comes. I decided to evaluate the overall impression here (not the individual areas according to the scheme of kitchen travel. This review background is solved by a restaurant classification. This can apply to both a star place and a pizzeria or a snack. I think that's fair, every restaurant category will be fair, and I'd find it nice if other friends would join it and get this through for the overall impression here. Overall impression: 3 – if it results again (1 – certainly not again, 2 – hardly again, 3 – if it results again, 4 – happy again, 5 – definitely back to kitchen trip"

"An einem Freitagabend unseren Erstbesuch im Kabul in W -Wichlinghausen gehabt. Es gibt afghanisches Büffett. Die Erwartungen an die Küche waren irgendwo zwischen tükisch und arabisch angesiedelt. Man wird vom Inhaber freundlich begrüßt und alle Komponenten des Büffets inkl. Zubereitung werden erklärt. Besonders zu loben ist, das bewußt alle vegetarischen Komponenten separat gehalten werden und es somit auch Vegetariern möglich ist einiges vom Büffet zu geniessen.Suppe: Kürbiscremesuppe mit Gemüsen -> sehr lecker"Vorspeisen: gemischter Salat (nicht probiert), Maultaschen mit vegetarischer Füllung (sehr lecker) und mit Fleischfüllung, welche meine Frau nicht so gut wie die vegetarischen fand. Auberginen gebacken mit Tomatensosse - hier fehlt mir etwas "Gewürz" habe ich schon geschmackvoller erlebt.Beilagen: Weisser Reis (nicht probiert), Basmati brauner reis mit Möhren und Rosen - super lecker!.Hauptgerichte: Dann gab es noch Bohnen, Erbsen und kartoffeln als Gemüse. Fleisch war in Form von Lamm - super! Rindfleischbällchen (wie Köfte, sehr lecker) und vers. Hähnchenvariationen (nicht probiert)Nachtisch eine Art Vanillepudding mit Rosenwassen und Kardamon verfeinert und Äpfel und Mandeln - interessante Geschmacksnoten aber für mich deutlich zu süss (weniger Zucker wäre hier vielleicht besser gewesen.Der Preis für das ganze Büffet = 12 € pro Person.Fazit: sehr leckere "Hausmannskost" zu einem sehr fairen Preis. Wir würden beim nächsten mal eher einen a la Carte Tag auswählen, um vielleicht auch etwas speziellere Sachen probieren zu können. Insgesamt hat aber das Essen überzeugen können und der Service war 1a. Warum gibt es nur 4von 5 Punkten? Ganz einfach das Ambiente war mir etwas zu "gewürfelt" und zu wenig orientalisch. Aus Preis/Leistungsgesichtspunkten hätte ich ein ausgezeichnet vergeben, aber leider läßt Tripadvisor diese Abstufung nicht zu."

"Wir waren am Wochenende auf ausdrückliche Empfehlung zusammen mit einer Einheimischen dort, die den Besitzer seit vielen Jahren kennt und nur dadurch kurzfristig einen Tisch bekam. Ansonsten beträgt die Wartezeit wohl mehrere Wochen. Als bester Italiener angepriesen, hat uns das Ambiente zunächst ein wenig überrascht, um nicht zu sagen erschreckt. Auf engstem, recht schlichtem (um nicht zu sagen schmucklosem Raum stehen abgerockte Tische für ca. 18, vielleicht maximal 20 Gäste. Bequem und schön ist anders, aber das wurde schnell zur Nebensache. Ein Menü aus 15 Gängen sorgte für restlose Begeisterung. Kleine Häppchen, meist mit nur einem Bissen zu essen, ließen mich zunächst zweifeln, ob ich satt werde Spoiler: ja, wurde ich, sehr sogar! Fisch und Meeresfrüchte kamen in zügiger Folge und in verschiedensten Varianten auf den Tisch, außerdem bekannte Klassiker wie z.B. Vitello Tonnato, Burrata, ein Sorbet, ein Raviolo mit Trüffel, schließlich Steak und Kalbsröllchen mit Spargel und ein wunderbares Dessert mit vielen liebevoll angerichteten Komponenten. Eigentlich bin ich ja eher der rustikale Typ, der beim Griechen einen Riesenberg Fleisch verschlingt, oder der ein ordentliches Schnitzel mit einer doppelten Portion Bratkartoffeln braucht um satt zu werden ... aber dieses Menü, diese Art zu essen war eine wunderbare Abwechslung, die ich so noch nicht kannte. Bei einem Menüpreis von 79 Euro zuzüglich Getränke ist das auch nichts für alle Tage, sondern etwas, was es wert ist, zu einem besonderen Anlass genossen zu werden. Der Preis ist dabei absolut gerechtfertigt. Der Service ist herzlich und freundlich, man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Einen Stern ziehe ich für das Ambiente ab, was nach den Lobesworten meiner Bekannten nicht meinen Erwartungen (großzügig, stilvoll, Stoffservietten ... entsprach aber womöglich habe ich ja auch einfach nur das Konzept nicht verstanden und soll mich ganz bewusst wie am Küchentisch einer italienischen Mamma fühlen? Nichts für ungut ; Am Essen selbst und am Preis Leistungs Verhältnis hingegen gibt es rein gar nichts zu bemängeln, dafür würde ich sogar 6 oder 7 Sterne geben, wenn das ginge!"
