Antica Pizzeria Nennillo Cologne
Pizza Napoletana in Köln
Lea from Cologne
Hidden in a small street in one of my favorite suburbs, you can find a small pizzeria you should not miss.
Furnished just with a few tables and chairs, you have to be lucky to get a spot, but there is always the opportunity for take away. It will be worth a try.
You have to try a lot of pizzas to find one like here, but a picture is worth more than a thousand words: the base is really thin, meanwhile the crust is fluffy and soft. Also, the sauce tastes like real tomatoes and you have fresh ingredients as toppings.
The secret of the dough is that it is a natural sourdough with 30% wholemeal flour. Nennillo is importing all products they use by themselves -- even the tomato sauce is made by Nennillo itself.
My favorite pizza is the Bufalina with red and yellow tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, Pecorino Romano and of course a touch of good olive oil.
If you are a big pizza fan like me, you should definitely step by.

Gelateria Köln Süd
High quality Italian ice cream
"Gelateria Köln Süd" has the best ice cream in Cologne. As we have no winter, I've had the chance to try all organic and homemade flavors many, many times.

Südstadion Flea Market
Trash or treasures
"Südstadion flea market" Cologne is the market I like most. It is only once a month, on the first Sunday. But maybe that's what makes it special.

Café Jakubowski
A real gem
"Café Jakubowsk" in Mülheim Cologne is probably the first spot I discovered in the field of gastronomy. I love their all day breakfasts and Sunday roast!

Habibi
Fresh falafel
"Habibi" offers everything you would call Lebanese "street food" today. Here my friends and I first went out for dinner. The falafel and hummus are great!

Vietnamese cuisine
"Lu" Cologne is a Vietnamese restaurant. Their portions are big, their ingredients healthy and fresh and it's about 5 min. on foot from my home!

Miss Päpki
THE café
"Miss Päpki" in Cologne is definitely a stereotype cafe. It reminds me very strongly of an old royal English tea house, but it's made with lots of passion.

Café Rotkehlchen
Feels like home
"Café Rotkehlchen" Cologne is my favorite super cosy cafe where you can easily feel at home and relax from a hectic day of shopping on the Venloer Straße.

Asien Shop Albertusstraße
Homemade Asian lunch
"Asien Shop Albertusstraße" Cologne brings me back to my childhood with its smells of spices, but the highlight is the Thai and Indonesian lunch table.
