Vapiano

I have to admit, I find it too pricy, but since I work closeby I stop by on a regular basis (takeout, I hate waiting in lines!)

Price wise, it is not bad and economical.

It's some kind of a pasta-fast-food-restaurant, with great pasta and pizza. The desserts are delicious, served in glasses or preserving jars. Stylish!

Only the price I've to citicise: 9,- € is too expensive for a self service restaurant pasta (they raised the prices half a year after opening).

It is one of these where you take your friends from all around the world to show them this cool concept restaurant. Some people might not like the concept of getting in line to get your food (but on the other hand you can watch your food being cooked, so that's a plus, right? And you're asked what ingredients you might want to add, so that's just another plus, right?) and charging everything on a magnetic magic card that stores all your meals and drinks and makes you pay for them on your way out at the cashier.

It might seem pricy at first glance, but it isn't. It's delicious. I highly recommend the pesto noodles. Never tried a pizza, because I first want to get through all the noodle dishes. Been there a couple of times.

It's quick. It's stylish. It's pasta. It's a fun place to hang.

Best. Italian. Food. Ever.

nice concept. nice people.

The olive trees and the basilicum are great ideia =)

Tasty pasta, god coffee, nice after-lunch chillout area. Although I'm not a big fan of system gastronomy I'll probably have lunch there from time to time.

It features really good pizzas and one of the best pasta bolognese (try it with "dinkel fusili") I've tried. I like the fact that you can have gummi bärchen at exit. That always makes my day ;-)

And, as the other comments say, prizes are too high for self-service.

), friendly cooks, short waiting times and pretty good pasta. The chip card system is a bit gimmicky and the food could be a Euro or two cheaper, but it's still a place I'd recommend.

this is how they usually waste your time:
waiting to order: 30 minutes, waiting for food: 30 minutes, eating: 5 minutes, waiting to pay: 2 hours

Food is really not bad, and the atmosphere can be quite pleasant.

The chip card system - though criticised by some reviewers here - at least makes it possible to have a decent lunch during your allotted lunch hour! The problem with waiters in Vienna - at least sometimes - is that they have a habit of ignoring you when you need them most.

Their chip card solves a problem I just don't have - what's wrong with waiters? The food is good but not excellent, so their way of cooking is a bit gimmicky. Admittedly, I didn't see this is as a fancy fast food place, but as a weird restaurant. It all depends on how you approach it I guess.

However, their coffee is excellent and the decor and design are nice.

I love the modern, pulsating, lively and "on the go" atmosphere" it radiates. It's not a place for romantic dinner for two, but a great spot for "after shopping chat" while on Mariahilferstrasse.

when i heard of the vapiano i was stoked and thought it was a good idea and i was not dissapointed. they have a chocolate cake to die for (it's called death in cocolate ironically) and their pasta is awesome and not too expensive (starting from 5,50 to 8,50)

it's cool to watch the cooks preparing your meal and have a quick chat with them. certainly a place where i can be found sometimes.
