Vapiano - Essen

Great experience! Nice idea and good food. Different style for an Italian restaurant. You pick your choice and see the food being made. Great choice in Essen

Like NANDO's in the UK you order your food at the counter, but if the server is cooking you will wait a long time, and if the person in front orders more than dish you will wait longer. You will collect your food at...different times so dont expect to eat together My lasagne came COLD. I asked for it to be taken off the bill, not reheated. I got a free salad. Not impressed. It's a great but flawed concept! My second Vapiano and still not impressed

Easy, good food, no hurry, for everyone. Yes this is the best description of va piano, from pizzas, to risotto, to pasta, to vegetarian noodles, good wine, good beer and great dessert. The ordering went perfect, at least if you are in the wright lane,...otherwise you can be waiting a long time while other service desks are empty. The pasta are really good, I always chose simple versions as those are more close to the real italian pastas. The installation for ordering using a touch screen was not great, that user experience can and need to be improved. But good food and good price

I have eaten in various Vapianos before but never tried the pizza. I tried it here. Disappointing I would rate the pizza as average, or a bit lower. Stick with the pasta instead..

Very nice lasagne, clearly made from fresh ingredients and very tasty, will definitely visit here again on my next trip
