What a great spot for a business lunch with multiple agendas! The open layout of Vapiano affords patrons the opportunity to intermingle without hesitation. The atmosphere is light and bristling with a restrained temerity. First timers will need to pay attention when they're greeted or they'll be lost.
You'll get a card that places all your purchases on it. You go where you want, get what you want, and pay at the front when you're ready to leave. You're a big boy...you can do it.
The food here is nice. I've only had the pizza and salads and haven't been disappointed. Every employee I've encountered had been more than helpful.
My only advice to Vapiano would be concerning the pizza condiments at the end of the pizza counter. A spoon and a container of crushed red pepper make for a difficult experience when putting red pepper on your pizza.
Overall, Vapiano is bustling, fragrant, and a comfortable experience. Give it a try. I know I'll be back.
