In the heart of Cologne's Südstadt district, Café Formula Uno awaits visitors who long for an authentic Italian experience. The coffee bar was founded by Carmelo Bennardo, who moved from Sicily to Cologne at the age of six and found his second home here. The café epitomises Cologne's openness paired with Italian charm, which has earned the Zugweg the nickname "Little Italy". This mixture characterises the café's unmistakable cult status in the local landscape.
The Formula Uno's gastronomic offering is characterised by its simplicity and quality. Whether for a perfect start to the day with a cappuccino, which is also available with oat milk, or to round off the evening with a reasonably priced Aperol Spritz - the coffee bar is sure to impress. The homemade panini and croissants and the ice-cold Peroni beer deserve a special mention. The warm hospitality provided by the charming duo Carmelo and his son Christian gives the visit a personal touch that guests appreciate.
