Da Franco Ristorante

$
Da Franco's location on a promenade right on the Rhine and the sunny outdoor terrace is a big plus for this Italian trattoria, serving a range of thin-crust pizzas and salads along with a varied menu of pasta and classic meat dishes: crab meat ravioli with a sage cream sauce, veal stuffed with Parma ham and mozzarella, squid-ink tortellini topped with roasted salmon, lake perch sautéed with anchovies and white wine sauce. Be sure to factor in some extra time to compensate for the distracted wait staff.

Koegler Weinstand im Hof

$

The quiet, walled, rose-filled wine garden, run by the nearby Weingut J. Koegler and adjacent to their "weinhotel", is a wonderful town-center spot to enjoy their fine wines alongside classic Italian delicacies, including freshly-prepared pizzas. If you fall for their liquid produce, you can purchase bottles at the on-site shop.

Ristorante Sassella

$$$

When the Bundestag was still in town, this Bonn institution used to be cited in the press as frequently for its backroom political dealings as for its Lombardy-influenced food. Locals, prominent and otherwise, still flock to the restaurant, in an 18th-century house in the suburb of Kessenich. The style is pure Italian farmhouse, with stone walls and exposed beams, but the handmade pastas often stray from the typical, as in the salmon-filled black-and-white pasta pockets in shrimp sauce.
