AZZURRO - La Cucina Italiana — Restaurant in Frankfurt

Arrived at 8. Drink orders werent even taken until 9. No menu. Seemed annoyed to have to take our order. No menus or food prices. Had to go inside after sitting for 2.5 hours to ask where or food was, and ask them to turn on the heat as we were all shivering. No food until 11pm. Steaks were basically raw when they finally came out. Not even a hint of apology for the terrible service, aside from giving us a round of cheap beers, skipping the order for the person in our party who wasn't drinking. The only thing they were quick with was asking us to pay the bill.

Not worth it. Don't go here.

Update: Instead of responding to this review, or looking to improve their service, they have now sent me and another member of our party a letter from google review removals claiming we weren't there, and threatening legal action. Anything to keep the high review...

The antipasti plate was an abundance of joy, from salmon tartar to grilled prawns, vitello tonnato to prosciutto wrapped rock melon…The tuna main course, however, was the star of the night: perfectly grilled with a tasty crust and tender interior topped with a thick balsamic and berry reduction, this combination was outstanding! All the ingredients are fresh and of great quality.

As charming as the service was, the waiting time between the individual courses was just too long. Around 3h...

Very inventive cuisine, I am so impressed with the taste associations. The pachieri with salsiccia, crusted tuna with artichoke heart salad, the beef cheeks in red wine sauce and calameretti a la provenzale are all exceptionally well refined dishes. To me this is one of the best Italian cooking I have ever experienced in any country. It is not only anchored in tradition but it also adds a creative element to each and every dish. My only critique is that the Tiramisu doesn't need to be quite so sweet, it takes away from the bitterness...
