I absolutely loved this place! Unbelievably cool atmosphere that creates the appearance of high class but with family style Italian comfortability. The wooden tables have neat stone centerpieces built in. The lighting is a bit darker and adds a romantic feel which I didn't mind being that I was on a date.
Vapiano has adopted a different style of service with bar stations depending upon the type of food you want: pizza, pasta, salad, etc. We decided on the pizza station, and the specialty pizza which featured capers, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian sausage, and black and green olives. Pizza only comes in one size but it was still plenty of food.
The service here was great although it is basically self serve at the bar stations. You order, then take a pager and sit down; once your food is ready they place it on top of the bar and you place the beeper inside the basket. It was quite a seamless process and the food was ready in no time. The food was excellent, but I was even more impressed by the layout and design of the restaurant. Vapiano will have no trouble keeping its customers happy.
