From the outside, this restaurant looks a lot less elegant than what it turns out to be once…read moreinside. Thanks to Eberstadt's slightly unusual approach to one-way-streets, we had to circle a couple of times before we found a parking space. Nearer would have been nicer, not least because of the slight drizzle. However, the cordial welcome warmed us up in no time. The whole time, service was efficient and friendly without being intrusive. This is not a pizza place, but rather a slightly upmarket Italian restaurant. We felt like meat and both chose pieces of fillet, he beef, me lamb. Both were done to perfection, if slightly bloodier than ordered. The beef was rare, juicy and tender. The three lamb fingers literally melted on my tongue. It hurt to send the third one back almost untouched, but my stomach was filled to capacity. My only complaint, albeit a very slight one, would be for more fantasy with the side dishes. An excellent, smooth grappa on the house was the final touch to a delightful evening.

Absolutely superb. Best Italian food I've had outside Italy.read more

Our family chose Sole D'Oro as the location to celebrate a shared milestone birthday for my wife…read moreand mother-in-law. It was a Saturday evening and we booked the restaurant for a large group of about 25 guests. We had not eaten at Sole D'Oro before but were briefed beforehand that their food was really good. So, we had somewhat high expectations going in. Our entire party ordered from the restaurant's regular menu. The staff really went the extra mile to making the night a success. They prepared special appetizer trays for each table and brought out baskets of fresh pizza bread. All of the food was prepared timely and meals came out quite quickly given the large volume of simultaneous orders going in. Everything was hot and fresh! Everything also tasted very good! In fact, had I not within a few days prior to eating at Sole D'Oro, ate probably the best pizza I've ever eaten, I would be rating Sole D'Oro Five Stars. But, because Sole D'Oro is a "Pizzeria," and I must rate it against the other Five Star gem, I am giving it a solid Four Stars! Sole D'Oro is very good, but as far as pizza goes the other place won that battle, hands-down! If you're interested in knowing who makes the absolute best pizza in the Darmstadt and surrounding area, check out another one of my recent reviews. I won't mention the name of that restaurant here, out of respect for Sole D'Oro. Now, there is onnnneee other thing that causes me to come off the Five Star review for Sole D'Oro. And, that one other thing is the thing that Sole D'Oro DOES win the "Best in the Area" category... the restroom. Yes, the restroom! Take a look at my uploaded Sole D'Oro photos and see for yourself. It was clean and well stocked but man, IT. WAS. TINY! All things considered, I would definitely eat at Sole D'Oro any day of the week! The service and the food was good and the staff attentive and friendly! You too should eat at Sole D'Oro, because hey! It's a great little pizzeria! Eat well. Be well. Cheers!

Elegant Italian fine dining with unpretentious and helpful waitstaff from... Italy!…read more Ordered a 600g (21oz) T-Bone steak cooked medium rare with a 0.4l mini carafe of delicious house red, and a little sparkling water. 36Euros. The steak had more bite like a grass fed cow would, and the deep beefy notes confirmed this. Lightly herbed and charred with olive oil. This behemoth was almost double the size of most other steaks I see around Europe. It was served with steamed vegetables heavy on seasalt and roasted peeled potatoes. The house red had a structured fruity nose and gentle tannins--just enough to compliment the steak. The waitstaff were efficient and came by to chat occasionally. The price reflects how nothing seems cheap in Europe, but amazing value may be had.

Sorry for the delay in writing this one! We visited Antik-Lokales back in late November 2025,…read moreduring our annual Germany visit to spend time with family there. On this particular evening, my wife and I went with my Brother-In-Law to Antik-Lokales. On the way to the restaurant, my B-I-L was telling me how it was Antik-Lokales who brought widespread pizza delivery to the Darmstadt area. Consequently, I was absolutely obliged to order pizza! Of course, I don't really need an excuse to order pizza!! And, on that note... I ordered the Lokales Pizza. My wife ordered the Lokales Salad with an added portion of Fried Chicken Breast. My B-I-L also ordered pizza; something spicy I think!? Anyhoo, we were all very happy with our food. It all arrived to our table hot and fresh and was all delicious!! In fact, I can honestly say that the Lokales Pizza I had was literally one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten!! As advertised, Antik-Lokales has a very rustic vibe going on; lots of dark, heavy wood architecture and dark lighting with candlelight flickering on tables. A really great place to settle-in and snuggle in a bench seat and have a hot coffee or even a good, perfectly chilled Pilsner. As a soldier, I served six years in Darmstadt and sadly, this was only my first visit to Antik-Lokales. I'm quite upset at my wife and B-I-L, because of this! Had I eaten in this restaurant during my time in Darmstadt, I would have certainly become a regular patron!! Great ambiance! Great service! And, great food!!! Whether you live in the area and are just looking for someplace to chill or grab a good meal or, you're just visiting or even just passing through the area, you definitely should not miss out on a visit to Antik-Lokales!! You will thank me!
