dining at Fellini's







That germans love italian food is no secret. In Göttingen this is brought to the next level. The international culinary options in the city are reduced to a couple of countries, being Italy the star of the show. Influenced by my mediterranean soul I have found myself constantly craving italian food, good, hearty, old-fashioned italian cuisine. So when I had to choose a restaurant to celebrate my birthday I hesitated for a while but I knew I just wanted to go to Fellini's. This is an extremely popular restaurant in town, and getting a table was a miracle. It has a really nice lively atmosphere, a very laid-back, more southerner, attitude that makes it a very comfortable and welcoming place.

I was so excited to be there that I had the biggest dilema ever when it came to choose my meal, and I hardly ever do that. In the end, I went for the oven baked gnocchi with gorgonzola. It was as simple as it can be, just plain soft gnocchi with the right dangerous amount of gorgonzola sauce, and some more melted cheese on top. It was all about the unique and complex flavour of gorgonzola and I thanked them for not going overboard with the addition of more ingredients.

The desserts were also quite good. Their pannacota was silky smoth, but it was the tiramisu that convinced me. Just to criticize something about it, they could have stuck to the italian way, and avoid the whipped cream and the chocolate syrup. 
Yet again the menu didn't offer full bottles of wine, but they could bring you a rather fancy vino della casa that was really good.

I can just say I was really happy with my choice and that I'm already looking forward to my next visit, this time devoted to try their pizzas, which looked rustic and authentic. 


For a full meal you are going to be paying around 17€, but I have to say it's absolutely worth it.
