  • 7. Ristorante Sassella

    $$$

    When the Bundestag was still in town, this Bonn institution used to be cited in the press as frequently for its backroom political dealings as for its Lombardy-influenced food. Locals, prominent and otherwise, still flock to the restaurant, in an 18th-century house in the suburb of Kessenich. The style is pure Italian farmhouse, with stone walls and exposed beams, but the handmade pastas often stray from the typical, as in the salmon-filled black-and-white pasta pockets in shrimp sauce.

  • 9. Zum Krug

    $$$

    Winegrower Josef Laufer more than lives up to the hospitality promised by the wreath and Krug (an earthenware pitcher) hanging above the front door of his hotel and restaurant. The wood-paneled restaurant, with its old tiled stove, is cozy; the service warm and welcoming; and the regularly changing seasonal German fare includes trout from the Wisper river and game.
