Antichi Sapori

After a few initial hiccups—let's forget about the first visit for now—we've now returned to see for ourselves. The chef is extremely attentive and friendly. The menu offers authentic Italian cuisine, not some "Germanized" dishes. I think the prices are perfectly reasonable for the good quality of the food. The carpaccio was absolutely fantastic, and the sea bass was very high quality and definitely fresh. We'll be back!

We received a very friendly welcome and prompt service. The food didn't take long to arrive and was beautifully presented. Despite the modest portions, it was filling! You could tell that the ingredients were fresh. The appetizer is a delicious bruschetta, which was very tasty. The grilled salmon was very good. So was the pasta with tuna. We had no complaints, except for the menu, which is definitely under development. We'd be happy to come back!

Authentic Italian cuisine! I've eaten fish there three times already, prepared very fresh and deliciously, just as I've come to expect from Italy. The wine selection is excellent, the price is reasonable, and the quality of the ingredients is perfectly acceptable. Service is very friendly.

As a guest from Berlin, I was here today with my parents. The service was sensationally attentive, the menu was extensive, and above all, there was a fantastic selection of fish. What many people don't understand is that it's a restaurant, not a pizzeria! Even though the owner caters to local tastes and even offers pizza and pasta. Prices are mid-range, but completely reasonable for the quality: quality over quantity, nothing run-of-the-mill, and a personal, family-friendly atmosphere. My parents had excellent fish with steamed vegetables, attractively presented. I had beef fillet with porcini mushrooms and found the portion much too large. The meat weighed about 500g! Given the good quality, as a self-employed person, I wonder: how does the owner make a living? €30 ​​is a ridiculous price for that quantity and quality! Anyone who's outraged by spaghetti for €48 for two people should also be fair in adding: with a generous, fresh (not frozen and thawed) shrimp and scampi offering, something like that costs a fortune just to buy. Of course, you can also offer thawed, culturally grown food in Asia for half the price and with the same quality...if that's what you're after? The meat was tender and cooked to perfection, the side dishes were a bit too rich for me. For many in the region, though, it's probably exactly what they're looking for (similar to a traditional spit roast). The supposedly overcooked vegetables are a classic Italian style—and very tasty. The wine prices are absolutely reasonable for the selection and quality; you can taste every wine beforehand. Overall, a great restaurant with an excellent menu, delicious dishes of very good quality, a large, fresh selection of fish (which is why not everything is always available, which is a sign of quality for me; canned and frozen food are always available), and extremely good service. If you're looking for quantity over quality, please go for a kebab, and if you want to drink cheap beer, you can go to the pub by the train station—that's certainly not the concept of this shop, and thankfully. Even in Berlin with stiff competition, this place has a chance of success. I'll definitely be back and can only recommend it to culinary lovers and those who appreciate good food. ❤️

Dear common Idar-Oberstein farmer's idiot, If you're looking for the usual Lambrusco for 1 euro and your favorite dish, MSG cream mash al forno, you've come to the wrong place. They really strive to create authentic Italian cuisine here, which you quickly sense when talking to the chef. We received a very friendly welcome and the same level of service throughout the evening. Across dishes like vitello tonnato, carpaccio, bruschetta, pizza, pasta with porcini mushrooms, and lasagna, we had absolutely nothing to complain about. Rather, we were surprised by, for example, the very high-quality salami that topped the pizza. There's still plenty of room for improvement in the menu design, but even I had to learn to overlook it and not let it spoil the impression; a few rough edges are forgivable. The prices are in the mid-to-upper range, which, considering the somewhat uninspiring menu, may seem a bit odd at first. However, you get truly delicious food and extremely friendly staff (including the chef). If you like Italian food, you should definitely stop by here. We will be back.

Finally an Italian restaurant in Idar-Oberstein that doesn't adapt to German tastes and prepares the dishes authentically. I can understand that people who don't travel much and only know the cream sauces and pizza margarita here in Germany are not that enthusiastic, BUT the food is very tasty. The fish selection is enormous by I-O standards. Furthermore, the wine selection and service are fantastic.

Excellent hospitality, as if you were at home. Friendly and easy-going staff. Impeccable and fast service. Always with a smile. The food is excellent, Italian stuff and above all quality. I recommend the pizza, excellent and digestible

My favorite Italian restaurant (after three visits): + Warm and dedicated family owners + Comfortable atmosphere on the summer terrace + Good wines + Fresh and high-quality products + Selection of dishes, especially fish and seafood, which are rarely found in this form in the region + Pasta dishes that are outstanding in both taste and quality. + All the desserts I've tried so far have been a feast for the palate ! The visual design of the menu could be improved to match the overall quality. ! The pizza knives don't always serve their purpose. Conclusion: An Italian restaurant for something special, less for a quick, simple pizza with a beer, more for the connoisseur who appreciates good, high-quality products and enjoys spending time in a beautiful restaurant, and is willing to spend some money for that.

High-quality food at reasonable prices. The waiters are polite and courteous.

The scampi and shrimp were really good. The service was professional and very welcoming. Recommended.

Very tasty food. I'm thrilled

Very friendly staff and very good food. I would give it a 1-star rating.
