Pasta • Pizza • Vegetarier • Italienisch


"Right after our evening walking tour, we headed to this area for a meal. Not preferring to pick a Spanish/Porteguese place, we tried out Via Toselli. It seemed to be a new place, and we took a chance after peeking at the menu.The decor is really modern, and they have an open kitchen which attracted us. The Pasta menu is limited to a few items, maybe they are still testing waters, which we think is fine. There are also quite a few options for vegetarians in Pasta and Pizza dishes.The service was quick, we sat right next to the door, we understand that customers would walk in or walk out bringing in draft of cool wind and could live with that (there were no other places free anyways). However, the staff had this nasty habit of constantly opening the door to peek out, to take a stroll, or smoke and they would not care that it affects the customers. We even complained once but it didn't make much difference.To top it, towards the end of the evening one of the waitresses seemed to have an argument with another server, which was a distraction...it didn't seem like a friendly banter.The meal itself was okay, we ordered arrabiata which was al dente, the sauce was fine but not a memorable one, and while the portion size was big they did not serve enough sauce to get the full flavor from. The price of dishes was definitely above average but we were in the tourist district. Via Toselli definitely had the potential, but just didn't deliver."

"My friends, please don't ever go to a good Mexican restaurant somewhere in the US or elsewhere outside of Germany as you'll never enjoy Mexican food as much again in Germany. The reviews here signal that this place is bearable. Well, it is if for no other reason than it's relatively cheap. I can't vouch for anything else. I've eaten at many Mexican places in the US. Even the franchises all over the place can beat Dos Amigos in taste. Taco Bell it ain't, but this is not good Mexican food. We had the chips with guacamole and this was disgusting. I really have not had such bland, blah dip in a long time. The salsa with these chips didn't taste anything like salsa. Outside of being red, it had nothing in common with salsa to be honest. Even the chips weren't good and you can get better from Aldi. We then had the vegetarian tacos and the quesadilla with chili con carna. Wow, these dishes both were bad. You can't really screw up vegetables but they managed to be bland here. Chili also isn't too hard but they missed on this point as well. Finally, the cheese on this dish didn't even look like melted cheese. It was somewhat like plastic. Anyway, the only reason for two stars is that the service was quite nice and really did try to fullfill wishes. We were there for dinner and it wasn't too full so I can't say anything about seat availability at lunch time. Anyway, long story short, don't make an effort to come here seeking out really good Mexican food. This is not where you will find it."

"Wir kamen ca. 20 Minuten vor unserer Reservierung im Esszimmer an, es waren bereits genug Tische frei, trotzdem hat man uns wieder in den Regen geschickt, mit der Begründung, der Tisch müsste noch eingedeckt werden. Da es Donnerstag war, waren wir auf das Tastingmenü eingestellt, der Service quittierte das mit einem gegessen wird, was auf den Tisch kommt. Das Amuse Geule bestand aus einer Kartoffelsuppe in der Espresso-Tasse und einem mediterranen Küchlein mit Pesto. Erster Gang mit Piadina war in Ordnung, Füllung etwas undefiniert mit Salsiccia und anderem. Zweiter Gang war Pfifferlingsuppe mit einem Tortelloni gefüllt mit Steinpilzen. Abgesehen davon, dass weder Pfifferlinge noch Steinpilze im Mai Saison haben, war die Suppe total versalzen. Auf unseren Hinweis an den Service wurde kommentiert, das wäre nur die Würze und zu viel Salz würde auf keinen Fall verwendet. Weiter ging es mit Pasta mit Kalbsragout, wieder sehr salzig, die Pasta zu weich. Haben wir in Italien zu günstigen Preisen weit besser gegessen. Als Fleischgang war Iberico Schwein mit Balsamico Kruste, leider keine Kruste, nur eine Haube; Fleisch war perfekt zart und sehr aromatisch. Zum Dessert wurden Crespelle mit Espressoschaum mit einem sehr guten Mandeleis serviert. Dies war der beste Gang des Abends. Alles in allem sind Preis und Leistung unserer Meinung nach nicht angemessen, die Gerichte waren geschmacklich nicht fein abgewogen, die kreativen Geschmackserlebnisse haben leider gefehlt. Der Service war bemüht, ich finde es aber befremdlich, dass ALLE Gerichte meinem Mann vor mir serviert wurden. Das kann leider das schöne, intime Ambiente in der Altstadt Neustadts nicht aufwiegen. Wir werden dem Esszimmer aber eine zweite Chance an einem anderen Tag geben."
