Reyhan SafarnegaarAugust 21, 2017We tried the crema di fungi and the ravioli! Both of them were great. Waiting in line takes time but therefore you get your food ready in front of yourself. The ingredients are fresh made everyday!
- Phat BuoyOctober 18, 2014Chain restaurant. Very odd approach to self service. Would be better adopting the Nandos philosophy. Good value mid range italian fare. Tables come with chili oil and fresh basil plant - nice touch
- Reyhan SafarnegaarAugust 21, 2017You can get your pasta with any kind of them, any meat/vegetable you want and sauce!
Leo!April 19, 2013& since the first time I taste one of their pastas, I had come back for 3 days in a row just to taste more dishes! Fast, tasty food and so well decorated..! I just <3 it!
Manon Van Buren 🎈December 12, 2018Can never go wrong with Vapiano although keep in mind ordering a fresh pasta will cost you some time. Worth it tho, just be patient.
JorchOctober 23, 2017Good relation quality-price. Fresh pasta made in front of you, good quality and cheap. The problem is they are extremely slow. Two hours for lunch, for me it does not worth it.
Aljoharah AlameerAugust 12, 2013Food 7/10 fresh, fast & yummy pasta is better than the pizza. service 4/10is self service & you have to get in queue line for every section. atmosphere 5/10 more like upgraded fast food resturant.
James JenkinsAugust 11, 2016If it's your first time here worth getting instructions from the host about how to order and pay 💰
Tim LeideckerJanuary 7, 2012Tacchino Piccante works very well with the Conchiglie pasta. I can also recommend the chicken caesar salad. Pizza Diavolo can be made extra spicy when ordering, that means HOT!
Maria KöhlerMay 16, 2016I love Vapiano but you should avoid it at core lunch and dinner times. Waiting time is just way too long, especially at a tourist spot like this.
Moving GlowstreamSeptember 18, 2018vapiano as good, as everywhere in the world. blueberry cheesecake is love❤️
Thijs NiksSeptember 22, 2014Italian fast food. Often busy, so you will have to queue for a while. Beats tourists traps and other fast food places.
Konstantin KlyaginMarch 13, 2013Go for Granchi di fiume (crawfish + lobster sauce) pasta and carpaccio. Sehr lecker!
Frankie BuckleNovember 29, 2011The Thaitaly pasta was unusual but very tasty. I could see how the queuing could get a bit mental at lunch time, perhaps go for a late lunch...
Vittorio CanilliAugust 16, 2015Perfect if you like to stand in long crowded loud queues to get your meal!
Katerina ZerJune 4, 2018Tasty pizza. Self service, though a bit slow order preparation.. the kitchen closes at 11pm.- Kelsey MoserNovember 1, 2019Nice concept,pasta is okay, but the place is mostly about the atmosphere of fast Italian food right in front of you.
Loud and crowed place, self service, but the food is surprisingly good. Yes! Gonna come back to try its pasta! ;-)
Stefano PardiniJanuary 27, 2012Not bad! It's practically an Italian place and they're gonna treat u as well as Italians do. Italiani, non è male..! Non come a casa, ma ci sanno fare...
FlorianJuly 19, 2011I like the live-cooking-concept... But why do I have to wait about 15 minutes in line, seeing that so many pasta-stations are not in use? However: thee food is great at an afforable price.
Bjorn The Social TravelerMay 25, 2013Say hi to the people around you enjoying efficiently served Italian food. Be Social ;-)
Martina IllysDecember 15, 2015Be prepared to wait...a lot. The chef also didn't know the correct recipe for my pasta dish from their menu
Marcel PuppikOctober 30, 2016Horrible place. Food is OK, but you'd think after years they would have figured out how to design a shop where people in line don't block the war for people to walk. Don't recommend it.
Sary HearOctober 4, 2021Had the pasta with beef. For some reason they decided to cut the portions…. There is nearly no beef in the plate, ridiculous amount… expensive for what they give you… maybe this place lost its touch
Martin RisgaardNovember 28, 2010Go for the Arrabiata but be careful when the chef asks "medium spicy or extra spicy?"... He's serious about the "extra spicy" part! :-)
Pawel CDecember 7, 2014Decent pizzas and pasta, super crowded for lunch, order pasta if you're in a hurry
Tom MaxwellSeptember 4, 2015It seems like in an effort to make ordering items easier they actually made it even more complicated.
Mete Atakan AkmanFebruary 6, 2018Self service restaurant. Pasta was great. Pizza is mediocre. A bit loud. Must be tried at least once.
Martin DeliusFebruary 5, 2013If you are here. Leave and go to a place with good food where it is relaxing.
Ula GadjiyevaOctober 14, 2014Have you ever seen Caesar salad without any meat(any kind at all) and one tiny skinny piece of tomato?Come and see!:))Pizza was also tasteless.Topping was very scarce.Do not recommend.
Sushi etc. MilanoAugust 24, 2011Really interesting formula! Excellent for families, good and easy food.
No longer serving pizza but pinza… which is a rectangular undercooked pizza wanna pizza. Maybe the pasta and salads are still ok but avoid the pinza
Therese KlenfeldtJuly 21, 2019The self-service is crap! Why on earth do you have to stand in a line to see other peoples pasta being cooked?
Michael BangJune 18, 2017Helpless staff. Long que and really slow chefs - and they are rude too. Obvious bad hand hygiene on top. We left before we had to eat.
PaulineFebruary 7, 2017It has a fast food atmosphere but waiting times are long and prices are high compared to a regular Italian restaurant

"Pizza will take a while on sunny evenings - still kind of worth it! order a salad in the meanwhile: big, big bowl, with veggies on the side to cut up and dress. Feeds 3-5 people. deserts also great."
