Portofino Verden

Sunday was still wonderful weather, so we decided to take a trip to Verden. The city center offers jewellery houses and also a visit to the cathedral and the Andreaskirche is always nice. After we had visited the most beautiful house past the monument of John Lennon, we went back to the pedestrian zone at the Aller. The goal was the Portofino that I knew from earlier. The outdoor area is great, but unfortunately it was too fresh. There is another outdoor area on the rear, large terrace, very nice in appropriate weather. There are two interiors, right behind the entrance is the smoker area, after which a large, hose-like space follows. It was later afternoon and so we had the free choice of tables. Unfortunately, a wooden wall was looked at in the rear area, which should define the sanitary area. In addition, one looked at the stacked upholstery of the garden chairs. In general, the interiors urgently need a refresh, still the terracotta sounds as 10 years ago. The waiter was friendly and fixed. We quickly had a carafe Pinot Grigio on the table and then studied the extensive map. Two pages only pasta dishes, you have to go through first. My companion had an appetite for Bolognese, so the classic. The spaghetti alla Puttanesca amazed me. I know the dish from southern Italy, olives, sardines and capers make an interesting taste experience. If the cook understands to take the correct amount of sardines, otherwise it becomes too salty. After 20 minutes, two deep plates stood before us with very hot dishes. Something nice decoration wouldn't have hurt because the eye bites. However, the plates were colorful, now yes! It was not the super taste experience, but also not bad. There are in any case worse Italians, but also better ones. Also my companion could not get through to hymns of praise. I've done the lot of things, my companion said that there was a bit missing. A little spaghetti ice cream was ordered and for me an espresso was not really hot. The ice cream tasted good, I tried it, as a child's portion it was also plentiful, I found. My conclusion: I remembered it better and as I said: the ambience! However, the prices are perfect for the fast noodle. The house wine 0.5 liter came 8,50, my dish 8.00 euros and the Bolognese cost only 7.50 euros.
