Here you can get italian food a la mama, but this is not the speciality of this restaurant. On the walls, ceiling and every free place here you can see pictures, trophys, signatures and parts of cars. It is hall of fame in Nurburgring. Frequently you can meet here a lot of stars of motor sport. During formel 1 you can meet here all people from this serie. Just book soon, it is almost the whole year full.

Favorite Dish: The argentinian steak from hot stone. I know it does not fit into italian food, this is just the one not italian dish in the menue. It is great, we are here almost every second weekend and I eat this damned steak everytime...
