Bei MARCO!

Some restaurants are truly so special that I honestly rather not share them with you, but as the number of readers is still countable ;) I take the risk....

Please meet Marco: he and his team are running my absolute favourite italian restaurant CASA DI MODICA in Cologne.

I already love his starters (almost all of some them) but especially the Baby Calamari as well as the Tuna Tartar, which he by the way only has on the menue if he was satiesfied with the quality of his local fish market.

As main dish you may choose between PASTA, MEAT or FISH. I strongly recommend to go for the fish or meat dishes as these are really amazing. No matter which one you choose: all of them are really good. For the last couple of weeks I feel in love with his fish dishes (SEEWOLF and SEEZUNGE ! are delicious! Served with fresh vegetables of the season), but also the filet steak as well as the KALBSKOTELETT are delicious.

And if you are really lucky he may serve a SEMI FREDDO as dessert. He does not always have that on his dessert menue, but if so you start dreaming of this taste for years. I usually do not care for dessert, but SEMI FREDDO is a MUST HAVE, I mean it.

If you have a chance to small talk with Marco between the dishes please do and enjoy his awesome charming dialect. He always makes you feel like having at least a bit of Italy right in the heard of downtown Cologne.
