Honestly, just barely ok lunch. Lots of food, but kind of bland and not very well prepared. Both had pasta of different types, one with shrimp and one veggie with a cream sauce. Both edible but kind of very ordinary. Served with chicken soup and a salad bar. ZB

A typical Italian restaurant. This one was bright and airy part of a small group of restaurants that included a Greek restaurant, a sports bar and so on, all dotted around a small area surrounded by trees. There was even a theatre so ideal for pre-theatre dining. The food and service were good. I ordered minestrone soup and a pasta dish, plus a glass of red wine. They allow dogs, which I found a bit off-putting, but there was only one dog and he didn't bother anybody. Actually, there might have been two...

This place was recommended by the hotel receptionist and was not part of a small group of restaurants near the hotel (Mercure Hotel Hagen). It was fine from the outside (another typical Italian restaurant) but I was a bit miffed by the service: I had to wait for a menu (they offered me a beer) then I had to wait to order the food and then I had to wait for the food. I ordered proscuito to start and was virtually given the restaurant's entire stock of the stuff (miles too big a portion) and then I ordered a side salad and a pasta dish with langoustine. The side salad was miles too big for one â three sliced tomatoes and mozzarella the size of a tennis ball. The pasta dish was fine. What annoyed me was the portion sizes. I was dining alone but I could have fed three people. What a waste. The whole thing was 43 Euros â and they didn't deserve a tip.

Dresel is a FIND. It is located in the middle of Rummenohl, a very small little village in a scenic part of Sauerland. It used to be a sleepy hotel with a nice restaurant. It had a fire and is now truly a gem as many millions of dollars have obviously been spent on updating and refurbishing the place. We stayed in room 16 which was equipped with an absolutely incredible bathroom, complete with a soaking tub for two, a rain shower, and an assortment of bath salts and towels allowing one to make maximum use of the place. While the bed was comfortable, it is obvious most of the money has been spent on updating bathrooms, curtains, etc. But the story does not end there. There is a truly wonderful bar in the basement, completely redone and sophisticated and charming enough that you could be in the best bar in Berlin or Frankfurt. Big easy chairs combine with a nice vibe and good drinks, complete with a nice single malt selection not seen too many places in Germany. There is a huge outdoor area where you can eat and drink in the warmer months, and breakfast which is complementary is served in a light filled room where the sunshine shines through driving away winter outside. Breakfast was prepared to order along with a great selection of rolls, yogurts, fruit, etc.Service at the front dest was efficient and enough english spoken. Cost was a very fair 119 euro.This is a wonderful place to spend a night or several nights. The room is equipped with a nice notebook describing fully the area and several nice hikes or walks should you be so inclined. The restaurant is first class and amazing for this little village. Service is a bit retarded and in need of training, but food is outstanding and equal to the best of Duesseldorf or Cologne standards.ZB

I was there with my bussines partner. We had one hour for lunch before our meeting.We decided for Rustica because it looks nice from the outside and we wanted just a quick meal.At the end it was more then just a quick meal, it was an experience and we were immediately sorry that we did not have more time. The interior is astonishing, their menu is very good, service is superb. I can not wait to come back!Thumbs up!!

We visited this restaurant based on tripadvisor reviews, after visiting a museum in Hagen. The owner welcomed us as if we were part of the family! The restaurant is unexpectedly cosy and colourful, which is in contrast with the grey-ish residential area. Not more that ~35 seating places. We had a shared starter (antipasto misto), which looked very good on the website. This was good, although a bit small for 2 (and for the price), additionally odd ingredients such as surimi have no place in an italian starter... As main courses, we both chose from the daily specials: I had a pasta with italian salsiccia (with fennel seed), and my husband had the recommended lamb with rosemary sauce: this was to die for: tender and delicious, and came with one of his favourite vegetables: chard (=coste). My pasta had a very nice tomato sauce and the italian sausage was fresh and authentic, but didn't blow me away. We then shared a tiramisú, which was really excellent. The house wine was also nice. All in all a very nice evening, we would love to try the pizza if we are in the area another time.

We have visited Novy's several times and were always content with their Asian influenced cuisine; you can can get Arabian tastes as well. Bute what is most impressive - besides a good wine list - is their great selection of mineral waters, not only several German sprudels, but waters from all over the world. I'm not sure if you can find out any differences - but it is a big pleasure to try it.
