Cornelia Poletto is one of the defining chefs of Germany. In her restaurant in Eppendorf, she combines Italian joie de vivre with north German produce and French craftsmanship. An elegant yet warm-hearted restaurant that has counted among Hamburg's culinary institutions for many years.

Together with head chef Felix Neumann, Cornelia Poletto keeps developing her cuisine further, with dishes such as potato ravioli with asparagus, Vitello Tonnato made from Holstein veal, or seabass in the style of "Sarde in Saor".“
Inside, the restaurant greets you with bright, modern elegance and relaxed warmth. In summer, you sit wonderfully on the pavement terrace – a piece of Italy in the middle of Hamburg. Together with the Cucina cooking school and Paolas Bar & Deli on the same street, a small culinary Poletto mile has taken shape here over the years.
Cornelia Poletto no longer has anything to prove to anyone. Today she cooks what she herself most likes to eat: clear, produce-driven and without any showmanship. French craftsmanship meets Italian lightness and north German roots – her own culinary "Moingiorno".
Host and sommelier Remigio Poletto accompanies the kitchen with great experience and a sure instinct for Italian and international wines. The list offers both well-known classics and exciting discoveries – always with a recommendation to suit the guest.
