Great food... Special Veggie Pizza was awesome.. They made it real tasty .. Ingredients like Tomato, Onion, Peppers made it special.. They made it hot and spicy for me...love it. Service by Oxana and Milena were fantastic... They were friendly, nice and willing to help extra mile... They think i am a comedian. They keep checking on how am i doing... If i need anything else... Great folks and wonderful management. I was there for close to two hours. Ambiabce for this place was so good . Robot was picking up the food and brings to the table.. What an amazing.. Oxana brings to my table. The place was not so noisy or loud... They had a bar also run by the same organization.. They have a separate bar seat.. I was only in the dining room. Learning about the Frankfurt and German news... I can speak few words :))))))))just kidding.

Great place to grab a plate while waiting for my next flight. Amazing views of the tarmac, seating comfy and staff very pleasant. Ordered the Caprese and was not disappointed. Actually was filled and didn't eat all the cheese or the bread. Also got Vodka Tonic to wash it all down. 10/10 would stop here anytime I am going through Frankfurt. Seeing as it's been 18 years since I last stopped through, maybe I will get lucky and be here sooner! read more

This is basically the only restaurant in the Z gates at Frankfurt airport. Food - It was okay, the carbonara was decent and the rigatoni bolognese was good. Service - Very slow, there were only 2 servers in the whole restaurant, food took quite a while to come out. Overall, this place is okay. read more

It's expensive because it's airport food, but the menu had a good variety and the spaghetti carbonara was excellent!! Service was pretty good, friendly. The decor for an airport restaurant was pretty nice. Again, expensive (because items the airport), but good customer service, menu selection and food quality. read more

Do not come here if you're looking for a high quality, speedy service and great good. This place is great to kill some time because there are barely any servers and those who work there have are not putting on any effort. I guess they are the only proper sit-down restaurant at the moment and are seriously taking advantage of that. Also, beware that getting your check will take a while. The girl seemed seriously overwhelmed, because it took 20 minutes after I asked for it. Got a Spetzi (Coca Cola+Fanta) and a pizza Luicia. The drink was on point. The pizza not so much. The only decent thing was the dough. There was barely any sauce, and the few splats were super bland, as was the cheese and the salami. The few mushrooms were decent. Again, a great place to chill and kill time. Just don't expect anything great. read more

I had a long layover in Frankfurt due to a delay. Due to the largeness of the airport and my worries about possibly getting back to the right area with sufficient time, I decided to stay put near gates Z, where my flight would depart from, instead of venturing out. Unfortunately, this area does not have comfortable seating nor does it have a priority pass lounge - it also does not include many sit down dining options. I chose to go here. It was Dec 31 around lunch, and I was immediately seated around lunch time (although I did see that some parties were turned away later). I ordered quite a bit of- a beer, spaghetti carbonara and some bruschetta. Service was fine - they weren't particularly friendly but direct. I was served pretty quickly for my beer and my food arrived on a little serving robot (I saw it wheel food around to other tables as well). Beer was great but food was mediocre. Pasta wasn't really up to par - quite salty and a little greasy (the plates that I saw passing by also looked a little oil-laden). The bruschetta was probably the most disappointing - 3 pieces were provided and I only ate half of one before I decided I would eat the toppings separately from the bread, which I left on the plate. There was so much oil that if I pressed my fork down in the bread, I could see pools of olive oil. Tomatoes were fine and tasty though. I thought they were a nice refreshing pairing to my pasta. Overall... I probably would only come back if I wanted a nice seat and a beer. read more

If you like eating dry salmon at a dusty table and then getting stopped by the bathrooms to pay a second time for the same meal, this place has you covered. I was double charged and only realized later when both transactions posted. Pretty stressful way to end a meal before a flight. Hard pass from me. read more

I had an extended layover at the Frankfurt airport so I opted to grab a bite to eat. This is one of the few restaurants in terminal 1 near concourse z. Looking over the menu I was not really eager to try the place. However, with limited options they won! Please note that they do not offer an extensive breakfast menu. Your options will be limited. I was in the mood for breakfast and ordered the egg with a bread basket and added a side of tomatoes . I also ordered a coffee beverage to drink. The service was ok. No one really came to check on me to see if I needed anytime. The food was ok. Not something I would have to have again. read more

Delicious carbonara! Server was polite, food came out fairly quick, small misty was good as well, dressing was light, not overpowering. We were here at a quieter time,, overall excellent. read more

Service was tardy and unprofessional. I had to remind an unapologetic waiter of our order after a 45 minute wait! Food is average for a restaurant which claims it have authentic Italian cuisine. Ambiance is non-existent. Also cheated - given a coke but charged for a beer and charged for a tip without consent. This outlet preys on unsuspecting tourists, please check your bill before payment. read more

Sat down for early dinner while connecting flights in Frankfurt. The restaurant is Italian but it's definitely not authentic. We ordered two pizzas after reading good reviews. I give it 3 stars. The cheese tasted like cheddar cheese. The Salmon was the best dish. Good and flavorful salmon, spinach and potatoes. The biochemical gnocchi was ok. The beer was good as one can expect in Germany. Service is 3 stars. I take into account that this is a restaurant in the airport. But still. I had better meals in Frankfurt airport. read more

Worst service with pasta with NO seasoning: My son and I had lunch at the restaurant. Alio Olio and i ordered had 0 seasoning and tasted like nothing. However, since it is an airport restaurant that is always busy, I did not say anything and quietly finished my meal. As we were finishing our meal, there were many people waiting in line, so I asked our server to bring the check so that other customers could be seated. We waited for 10 minutes, and despite making eye contact with the server multiple times, she neither brought the check nor asked us to wait. We then went to the register and asked if we could pay, but the server ignored us and continued helping other customers with non-urgent matters. After seating seven new groups and cleaning up our table, she once again went back to the kitchen, passing right in front of us. I said, "Can I please pay for this because we have waited over 10 minutes." To my surprise, a male chef came out of the kitchen and started to mock my comment with the entire crew in German. Although I did not understand everything they were saying, they kept repeating "10 minutes! 10 minutes!" and laughed together while shaking their heads. The chef and another server glared at me and my 11-year-old son. This is one of the most ridiculous experiences I have ever had at a restaurant. I hope the employees would get some basic training on not mocking foreign customers and be respectful of them. read more

Vey bad customer service manager is really rude and disrespectful i travel alote and like drinking cappuccino there He is always in this way as long as this person is there i am not stopping at this place read more

The worst service ever. The restaurant is not at all full, but a long line at the gate waiting to be seated, several seated guests looking for someone to come serve but none of staff come for a long time and instead stand in group in front of the counter screen. All guests look fed up. Frankfurt airport seriously needs to take down this restaurant and replace with the better one to serve the many customers in transit. Anyone comes here because they have no other choice. But this restaurant will irritate all people transiting in Frankfurt airport. read more

As a date of April 8th, around 17:30, Me and my family had the most unpleasant experiences with all the staff at the restaurant. We were waiting to be seated and there was one waiter, who has an Arabic appearance and was short with dark hair, saw us and went back to the staff in the kitchen, who were loudly chatting. We were waiting for a few minutes and asked if we could go ahead and sit. And this guy just showed us a very rude hand gesture. We sat at the table and this guy walked and threw the paper menu. As we decided to leave and walked out, this guy plus whole kitchen crew just watching us and laughing to each other. Please check on the CCTV if you have. The most disgusting service ever in my life. read more

Walked all up and down the gates for Z trying to look for a decent place to eat on my 2 hour layover. Found this little joint next to a sandwich/bar sort of restaurant and decided to go with Italian instead. The kitchen is open and the seating area has a nice view of the planes - it's got lovely seating and nice chic decor. That's where the positives end. There was a hostess who seated me and one waitress who ran around trying to serve everyone - it seemed like it would be much more efficient to have the hostess be a waitress as well. The food came out rather quickly, I ordered 'sphagetto aglio e olio e peperoncino.' The noodles were very thick and somehow childlike - as if a kid had picked out something bulky at the store and tried cooking noodles for the first time. Rather chewy. It was a bit underseasoned although it had a nice kick. The portion is reasonable,and ~12 euros wasn't bad in terms of European prices. If I'm ever in the airport again I'd come here again - but it wasn't by any means an amazing experience. Booth seating, two sided paper menus one side in italian and the other in english at every seat. read more

This was one of the few restaurants at Frankfurt airport that offers sit down dining. I had a few hours to kill and stopped by for breakfast. I ordered their breakfast plate and frankly it's exactly what I wanted. Service was OK. I could see where the complaints come from but my experience was reasonable. read more

Basic solid place for a quick pizza and drink before your flight. We shared the veggie pizza and it was legit, not the best thing ever but also not terrible. Veggies were fresh, pizza flavorful. Crust a little charred on the edges but it is a thin crust wood fire pizza. All in all, not bad. read more

Lucullus Nero was ok for airport food. Nothing special, only came here because there were few options for real food in this terminal. We decided to split a pizza because they looked pretty big. We tried their pizza topped with bacon, onions, and cheese. It was tasty and the crust had a good crispness to it. The biggest problem here is their service, it is VERY slow. It took forever to even get drinks, do NOT come here if you think you'll be late for your flight. We arrived 3 hours early for our flight, and by the time we finished eating a single pizza and some water, it took up 2 hours of our time. Overall, I'd probably pass and choose to eat somewhere else in the Frankfurt airport next time. read more

Lucullus Nero - Truffled eggs and roasted potatoes - Italian Near Me - Frankfurt, HE

Surprisingly good pizza and excellent beer. Surprising because this is an airport and food is usually somewhere on the bland to disgusting spectrum at airport restaurants so expectations were not high. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the pizza and I say that as something of a pizza connoisseur. The pizza was plentiful, good pepperoni toppings, bread on the generous side and the beers exactly matched the pizza. If I pass this way again I will definitely return here. Service was excellent although the waiter was on the insane end of 'matiness' but it all added to the gaiety of the occasion. read more

After 10 days eating sub par Indian food, this place was a beacon of light in the dark world of curry and masala. Oh, and the coffee! Finally a decent cup of coffee that isn't Nescafé granules! The chocolate croissant was superb. As well as a few other items in the breadbasket. Service was friendly. They have a great selection of breakfast options. It's pretty high class airport food. And the view of the Lufthansa planes coming and going is great. And free wifi. There's nothing as satisfying as a shower, a decent cup of coffee, and a chocolate croissant after 22 hours of flying! read more

Initially I thought you had to wait to be seated by no one said hello and these other two guys were wondering same thing then the waiter said to just seat yourself. I had to grab some lunch before my flight, this looked the most decent as I was looking for some comfortable seats. Unfortunately there was no couches available as it was busy. About 1 or 2 waiters so you literally have to wave someone down. Ordered the pasta carbonara... Looked awful tasted like something I can make at home and I am not a good cook but it did the job of putting some food in my system. For 13,90€ I was hoping for better quality. The small beckers beer I had was 3,90€. Small selection of beers and the other one I wanted to try only came in a big size. Was hard to finish the pasta and it wasn't that big ! read more

The shrimp in the green salad is delicious, although there are only three of them. The prices also tend to be a bit high. But you get to sit on a comfy next to the windows overlooking the planes, so it could be worse. Regrettably they don't have a whole lot of beers to choose from (even for a non-beer drinker who would venture to try some while in Germany), and vegetarian options are rather limited. It's also located by the atrium where multiple wings of the terminal meet so I presume they get a lot of traffic this way. I would say sit here and relax while enjoying some Italian cuisine, rather than the cafe-style place right in front called The Bar if you have a longer layover that makes comfort more important. read more

Service was just awful. The waiter purposely ignored me and almost everyone around me. I literally got my food before my water or drink.

This place sucks. We checked with the kitchen staff prior to sitting down. We wanted soup, 14 minutes later we are greeted by the server.

We are now trying to chow down our food in less than 15 minutes. read more

The restaurant is in an isolated area with other restaurants so it's away from the airport hallway traffic which is nice if you want to get away for a bit. The food is great to my liking being someone that is health conscious. I had the muesli and a cappuccino and both were very good. The muesli was made with fresh yogurt, fruit and granola. No added sweetener or sugar unless you ask for the honey. Very healthy and delusions! I would come here again for the food and ambience. The service however was slow even though there were only a handful of people in the restaurant. I hope they are more fully staffed during lunch. I had a couple hour layover so the service time was ok for me but probably wouldn't be a good spot for those looking to eat fast. Pros: Ambience, nice decor, tucked away with other restaurants Food is delicious and healthy and reasonably priced Cons: Slow service if you are looking for a quick bite read more

A nice Italian restaurant in the Z section of the airport where you really do not have many options for food.. I tried spaghetti aglio & olio which is my favorite but did not like it more than the ones that i eat in İstanbul.. My husband ate gnocchi which was superb, and i left my spaghetti and ate his gnocchi :) You can watch the planes when you're having a nice time before your flight.. Its coffee is nice too.. Liked it :) It just felt too much to give 7 euros to 0,75 cl water.. Anyways, its an airport :)) read more

Terrible service, terrible service, terrible service. Only thing that saves from one star is that the pasta was cooked to al dente perfection and the consistency of the tagliatelle was great. Back to the service, this is up there with among the worst for me. It could have just been my waiter, but nonetheless falls in management to fire poorly performing employees. Don't sit in the older bald man's section!! When I arrived 3/8 tables in his section were filled. So not an overwhelming environment for tables with max of 4. When I sat down, there were no menus on the table I chose, so I grabbed one from the next table. No biggie, but indicative. Was asked for what I wanted to drink pretty quickly, but went downhill after that. I stood up to get things for myself three times. Once to get the waiter's attention for a beer, since my food was taking so long and the sparkling water was not gonna help my patience. All he seemed to be doing all the time was punching things into his computer. Taking all of his attention, and hearing apparently. I was close to him and said "excuse me" multiple times. Second time was after I saw the other waitress whose section was MUCH larger carrying around my order looking for a home for it. Given my failure to get his attention to get a beer, I just got up and went to the kitchen to sleep if that was my order and it was! Who knows how long it had been sitting there. I saw my waiter intentionally walking towards the kitchen, so I go out of the way and let him do his job, sure enough it was mine and he brought it to the table. Time to eat, right? No silverware. He didn't even notice. He was off to the bar to talk to the bartender. One thing he was good at? Pouring beer. So I got up a third time to search out silverware. Was too hungry at that point, had run out of time and patience. I wasn't the only unhappy one. A total of 5 other tables around me expressed verbal displeasure - with the table next to me just getting up and ordering from the other waitress at one point because they had been seated so long without even a greeting. Have time and patience? Sure, come here. read more
