"And again, we're on our way home on 12th. November the trade traffic jams on the A3 in Cologne. “Calabria in Siegburg?” I ask my wife while we roll to Frankfurt. She understands immediately and nods. After 7 p.m. we are finally in Siegburg and directly control the then fee-free parking “Mühlentorplatz”. From here it is just a few minutes walk to the Herrengarten, a residential and business area in the Siegburg pedestrian area. Here in Herrengarten 1 the Calabria advertises with “Italian specialties in the heart of Siegburg”. The Calabria stands out through an outdoor gastronomy and a winter garden-like pre-construction from a row of houses and business houses in a literal sense. The awning is actually only an extended awning, which has been fastened to glass side walls with sealing tape. In the interior, heaters provide sufficiently high temperatures, one of which ensures strong warmth during our visit. We take place here on a brown foursome table in cozy chairs with white-grey plastic mesh. From here we look into the wine bar on the ground floor of the reddish-brown-clinked building, through which we entered the pavilion. The path through the wine bar is not wide, on the one hand a modernly designed standout counter, on the other hand in front of an ocher-colored wall with a suspended Gabione a table row, to which a further table row is connected in front of a somewhat pre-built wall. The Mediterranean flair of the room is reinforced by the bright tile floor. The actual restaurant is located in the basement, which can be reached via a staircase next to the entrance door. At the walk to the toilets that are also in the basement, we get an impression of the restaurant. No one sits here, a guesthouse sits at a long table row in the wine bar, guests who still come after us take place like we in the pre-built pavilion. An impression of the restaurant is given by the pictures I have set. We evaluate the ambience as okay, so three stars. Service Quick is the service. We barely took a seat when a young man obviously gives us South European origin the menus. A young lady supports him, she's fast too. Both are attentive and friendly, clean up the used dishes in a timely manner, give and ask for our satisfaction. The service does a good job, four stars. The menu offers the Ristorante-Pizzeria usual, pasta, pizza, Mediterranean meat and fish dishes, complemented by a table with daily dishes at the transition of the wine bar to the pavilion. The level is already slightly elevated. We want a tasty, hot, at least well seasoned pizza. And a little salad may be. After we have chosen, the young man notes for my wife a – Pizza Mena with Italian Salami, Mozzarella and Champignons (10.90 € , one – Pinot Grigio (0.25 l to 5,60 €; 0.1 l to 3,50 € , one – mineral water (0.25 l to 2,30 € and for me also one – Pizza Mena and one – alcohol-free beer (2.50 € of the thirdliter). The Pizza Mena has recommended us the young man to our question, which of the pizzas is sharp. The salami on it is sharp. For caution, we order sharp oil. As I said, the service is fast. Nearly ten minutes after the order, the young man appears again with two steaming pizzas, apparently rich 30 centimeters in diameter, and a neatly loaded salad plate. The pizzas are exemplary baked, inside nicely thin, getting thicker to the outside. On the edge they are crispy, the salami slices are really sharply spiced, the oil ordered to increase the sharpness. Thick slices of Mozarrella are baked and melted. Fresh basil leaves and oregano give additional Mediterranean spices. The pizzas taste good. The mixed salad is a decent portion. It consists of leaf salads, tomato quarters, cucumber slices, corn, red onions, fresh red cabbage, ruccola, black olives, grilled zucchini and a honey melon slice. A baked dough strip lies above the salad hill, a small bowl with a scavenging, creamy dip is added. The salad is fresh and crisp, not dressed. The salt-peffer-oil-balsamico-position standing on the table is used instead of the scree-like crème for seasoning according to our Gusto. Even the salad tastes good. Both the pizzas and the salad are above average in size and quantity. We both fight with the pizzas and the salad portion and are glad that we have only taken a salad. Finally, we are pappy and highly satisfied with the consumed. The food is worth four stars, we've eaten well. Cleanliness Here we don't see any reason to mocker. Eßutensilen are clean, toilets, both men's and women's toilets, too. However, they have already come a little into the years and could make a renovation. Note good for cleanliness and four stars. The price-performance ratio service and food are good. However, the price level dampens the assessment of the price performance ratio. The amount and size of the portions does not change this. We do not value our pizzas and salads, both in the transmitted and in the word literally. Nevertheless, we think the price-performance ratio is okay, but not good, so “just” three stars. The conclusion We drive well saturated and satisfied home. We do not regret the visit to Calabria, and once again the appetite for a large, tasty pizza, we are happy to go back. A total ranking between okay and good we think is reasonable, therefore three and a half stars."
