Mama Leone in Cologne

(Very) Fast kitchen and very tasty pizza (special), burger and sweet potato fries with truffle mayo Very nice surprise to eat so tasty and fast!

Drink and choice of food great. Clean and pure. Very nice staff.

The restaurant is located between many restaurants on the Rhine. There was nothing going on in the morning that is due to Corona. Cologne is a risk area. The service was nice and attentive. The food could be eaten, but it was absolutely nothing special. We sat outside and the heaters that provide warmth made it comfortable.

Superlecker

Perfect place,even when is raining to hang out with your friends

There were hardly any Corona rules ... Food was ok .....

The food was good, the steak was unfortunately a bit too well done. Service very good.

We had a great dinner and wonderful service! Our meal came quickly and our waiter (older man) was fantastic and personable. The Mama Leone Penne pasta is delicious and the bananawiesen is surprisingly pretty good. Great location too, we're so happy we happened to walk by!

Not really good burger, which we were waiting for 50 mins at 11am..

Unfortunately, the food is not as good as one would hope for. Resembles a snack bar but in no way a good tasty Italian restaurant. Therefore unfortunately not to be recommended.

Delicious food on the Rhine. Friendly waiters and various choices of food. I will gladly come again :)

Bruschetta Mista: the basil pesto was missing, was only coated with tomato sauce. Free of taste. Fettuccini with chicken breast: looked like it had been eaten before. Meat way too dry and it seems like a curry shaker has exploded over the plate. Schnitzel Wiener Art: when cutting, the breadcrumbs completely separated from the schnitzel, the fries were not through and tasteless. The Hugo is apparently not freshly prepared, but tastes more like a bottle from the supermarket Waiter played friendly, asks if it tastes good, but is not interested in the answer. Goes in the middle of the conversation. Served espresso doesn't help either. Let's get to the positive that Kölsch tastes good and the location is of course great, but that's not enough for another visit! Never again!!!

Have been there a few times now, the food was terrific, very comfortable chairs compared to many other chairs, which can bring an evening in the restaurant to an end quickly. I loved the staff every time. Incredibly attentive and friendly. Overall, a great atmosphere. I would go there again and again.

Hardly any spices in the meat and the bread should have stayed in the oven for much longer.

Super unfriendly staff. Even if the restaurant is located in the middle of the tourist stronghold and therefore counts on walk-in customers instead of regular customers, working in a slightly better mood is definitely more fun (for both sides). Never ever!

Good Italian right on the Rhine. The restaurant also has many places outside, so that on the one hand you have a good view and on the other hand you have sufficient protection from the neighbors in Corona times. I tried a pizza diavolo, it tasted very good. The dough was thin and crispy as it should be, great! It could have been a little thicker, especially with pepperoni or chiles. Unfortunately only the spicy salami was on it. Otherwise everything was ok, the service was quick and very friendly. The prices are adapted to the location on the Rhine ...

Very nice to sit outside in good weather. Prices are acceptable, of course you have to be aware that you are sitting in the old town on the Rhine and paying for service and ambience. The toilets were clean. They were served quickly even when the restaurant was full and didn't have to wait long for drinks or food.

Very tasty pizza, beautifully situated on the water

Food was tasting okay, tiramisu was excellent though. Not really please about the service. The older waiter was not polite and seemed annoyed, he did not pay attention to us and we had to call him for water, desert or the bill.

The waiter (older one) was really not polite, we only had drinks, so we can't rate the food. Location is really great but for that price in a restaurant you expect the personel to be polite and not to be asked to pay right after you ordered, when it is 90 minutes before the place closes.

Rude, expensive and unfortunately not tasty. People are sent away who don't want to eat (although there was more than enough space). Vinegar and oil were taken from us without question. Special requests are generally not possible. I really can not understand the good reviews. I wouldn't give this food out like that.

Food tasty only pay cach not corona prove

The service is friendly and quick. The food tastes good. It's really cozy.

We went there for lunch today. I can only report positively here. The food comes very quickly. But that doesn't detract from the taste. You always say "eat well, have a while". The staff is very friendly. The price-performance ratio is just right. You can definitely eat and linger here.

Friendly service. The only thing that deduces points is the fact that credit card payment and debit card are possible from € 20. This is pre-flood and is no longer acceptable these days. So always have cash with you

Very cheesy

Bad service

Great food and drink

The food was worse than supermarket microwave meals.

1 star for the food. 1 for the location.

Nice Italian food

Worst waiter I’ve seen so far. Unbelievable rude and bad service (the older waiter with glasses) . We just asked for a normal lunch, not even that was possible. The glasses were dirty and they didn’t even had bottled beer or ice tea. Shame for Cologne, seriously.

Very friendly staff thanks for all !!

Good place for traditional German food and nice views as well.

The worst food I ever had! Like ever in my life! And it’s not cheap! Please please please stay away!

What a wonderful place! Very tasty food, of course whole menu is italian, very kind people with great level of service. Appetizer was really tasty, like also lamb as a main dish - prepared perfectly, like also veggies which were added to main dish. Would visit again, definitely.

Great eating pizza and drinking beer by the Rhine

We paid 30€ for the worst pizza, pasta and coke that I ate in all my life: dry pizza with no fresh vegetables, dry pasta 4 cheeses and coke in a small glass from a machine and without ice and really hot. The service was unfriendly.

Food just ok but I would not go there again. At the end of the mediocre meal the older waiter suggested two grappa I thought was on the house by the way he persisted we have some. It added 12 euro to our bill. It tasted like disinfectant. He made a big issue that there was NO TIP INCLUDED in cost of meal. We felt the cost of the grappa was more than enough of a tip.i saw other people challenging their bill but understood why when we got ours. A rip off in my opinion.!

Good

If you want to spend time at this restaurant you Have to eat. My three friends and I ordered drinks and 1 pizza and the waiter refused to serve us. Worst place ever. If you don't want to spoil your mood in Cologne please don't go there.

In the heart of Colognes old city. Food is good, most of the staff are friendly. Another one Italian restaurant.

Coffee tasted amazing and the dessert was tasty too.The view on the river is very relaxing.

really disgusting fries Pizza with old oil and no courtesy from staff that makes stress for clearing the tables. Mc donalds is far better considering that this is not even a restaurant.

Great place with a very friendly staff and great pasta.

A lovely restaurant. My meal was amazing and the staff were attentive and service was fast. Lovely views of the river too.

Love

Above avg prices but a great location

Small portions, asking for tips, adding their own tip without telling or asking. Poor seatings .
