This is a lovely Italian restaurant amidst a hotel cluster by FRA T2. I was staying at the Holiday…read moreInn and it was a 5 - 7 minute walk down the road in front of a Rewe shop.
The inviting storefront is matched and exceeded by an elegant interior that smacks of recent construction. There is a generous indoor seating area with additional outdoor seating. Organization at the entry is a little lax because you expect a greeter who shows you to a seat. But that is not the case. Both times there, I had to seek out an employee near the front who said we could sit anywhere we liked.
The service during dinner in both cases was very good. Servers were pretty good about being attentive and/or accessible even during busy times. Our last visit was on a Friday evening and they were packed by the time we left.
On my first visit, the kitchen was closed and only pizza was available. But this was OK as their pizza was pretty good. I had the Prosciutto and Rucola Pizza, which was quite tasty. My second visit was during regular dinner hours with a colleague. We started with a Bruschette Misto, which featured an olive and pepper mix, a pate and a cream cheese for toppings. It was excellent. For mains, my colleague had the Lasagne and I sampled the Penne Bolognese. My colleague reported his to be very good and I enjoyed mine as well. We tried the Panna Cotta for dessert, which was excellent.
The second visit where we had a full dinner was probably indicative of the cost. For the two of us with appetizer, water, a 500-mL flask of wine to share, mains, dessert and one coffee, the final outlay was 60 euro (including a small tip).
Overall, I really liked this place. I'll probably return next time I'm staying in a hotel in the area.
