Birthday party
Celebrate your birthday in Wuppertal
A milestone birthday, a family gathering or an evening with friends: we turn your dinner into a celebration, with pizza, pasta and Sicilian hospitality.
Family, friends, milestones
A birthday that tastes of Italy
Wuppertal has been celebrating with us on Südstraße in Elberfeld, close to the Historische Stadthalle, since 1979. What began as Cateno Costa's family business is now run by his son Fabrizio, and he has a clear belief: every meal should become a little event. That is exactly why a birthday suits us so well.
Whether it is a fiftieth with the whole family, a thirtieth with your closest friends or a quiet family dinner for a seventieth: you sit in a warm dining room with wooden tables, roses on the tables and the scent of the open kitchen. Nobody has to cook, nobody has to clear up. You are a guest at your own birthday.
The food
Pizza and pasta for every age
Our menu has something for everyone: pizza for the little ones and pasta classics such as Carbonara or Linguine A.O.P., antipasti to share (Antipasto Misto, Carpaccio, Burrata 2.0), and meat and fish for those who want something festive, such as Saltimbocca, Filetto di Manzo or Salmone. If you eat vegetarian, you will find 16 marked dishes.
To toast, there are spritz variations, prosecco and sparkling wine as well as an extensive wine list, and to finish our dolci: tiramisu, panna cotta with pistachio or the warm Soufflé Bianco Etnea. There is also a special menu with changing dishes, so ask what is on it right now.
Would you like to bring your own cake or decorations? We are happy to talk it through beforehand; please mention it in your request.
How it works
From request to party
1. Send your request. The easiest way is a quick message on WhatsApp or the request form below: date, number of guests, occasion and special wishes. It is non-binding.
2. We get back to you. We check what is possible on your day and go through the details with you – on WhatsApp or in person at the restaurant.
3. Celebrate. On the day we take care of the rest. Family celebrations suit Sundays particularly well, when we are open from lunchtime and the afternoon can flow into the evening. Small groups without special requests can book fastest directly via OpenTable.
For prices, group sizes and possible packages we are happy to talk to you in person, as it depends on what you have in mind.

Frequently asked questions about birthday parties
Can we celebrate at Sunday lunch?
Yes. On Sundays we are open continuously from lunchtime, which is ideal for family celebrations with children and grandparents. You can see the exact hours further up this page.
May we bring our own cake or decorations?
We decide this case by case. Just mention it in your request or send us a quick message on WhatsApp and we will tell you what is possible.
Is there something for children and vegetarians?
Yes: pizza and pasta are almost always a hit with children, and 16 dishes on our menu are marked vegetarian or vegan. If you have allergies, please ask our staff.
How far in advance should we ask?
The earlier the better, especially for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We do not set a fixed lead time; send us your preferred date and we will tell you honestly what is still possible.
How do I get to the restaurant?
We are at Südstraße 26 in Elberfeld, close to the Historische Stadthalle. It is about a 3-minute walk from Steinbeck S-Bahn station and about 10 minutes on foot from the main station.
