It was time for pasta so we searched the area for some Italian restaurants. After going thru some promising and not so promising options we decided for "insert long name". We were greeted outside even when it was already cold and after the current usual checks, luckily no body search, we were brought to a table inside. It's not really spacious but I think they made the best out of the space they got. You can also sit outside with heating lamps. The decoration is interesting, I can't say it's typical or not typical Italian but it was fine. A lot of city names on the wall, wouldn't be my choice but well whatever. So back to the food. It was time for pasta, btw there was no pizza on the card, or was it, can't remember. They have homemade pasta, mostly filled stuff, which is not favorite so I didn't go for it. It took the one with Italian sausage and tomato sauce. My girl took lasagne. With that we had a full bottle of primitivo. Yes a whole bottle for two for dinner, absolutely normal. I liked the wine, really good. The wine was not on the card, we were told they are changing the card. That was a bit weird, they also told the same the other table, so why give out the cards? The lasagne was really soft and for me missing taste and could have been hotter. The pasta was fine. I could not complain but was also not wowed. And we had a lot of mini fruit flies visiting us at the table which was a bit annoying. The price was not cheap, but also not expensive. I would say upper middle class was the main target. The staff was attentive and friendly.
So it's a 4 since I...
Read moreThis was a wonderfully classic sicilian meal. We had a large group of 13 people, so we made a reservation. Per our waiter's suggestion, we went for a "guided" meal, in order to keep things simple. The first course was stunning, 4 morsels to wet the appetite, with a certain order to enhance the flavors of each. The second course was an amazing black ravioli with sliced truffles and mozzarella and parmesan. So creamy and delicious. The third course was our main course of veal, lamb, or fish. I had the veal, and it was quite succulent. We had a fantastic recommendation of a white and red wine for our group. I wish I could remember the names. We were all so full after the third course we decided to finish up and were encouraged to finish the meal with a limoncello. This was the perfect ending to this meal. The restaurant had a warm and welcoming environment, and the staff enhanced this. Our servers were fantastic, very considerate and made for a very enjoyable experience. All in all, 10/10 would...
Read moreI had a wonderful experience at Trattoria i Siciliani, a restaurant in Frankfurt that serves authentic Sicilian cuisine. I went there with my colleagues for dinner and we decided to let the server surprise us with his choices. I informed him that I was a vegetarian and he assured me that he would accommodate my preference. He brought us a four-course meal that was simply delicious. We started with bread, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, followed by four different starters. The goat cheese was especially tasty. Then we had gnocchi for the main course and spaghetti for the second course. The spaghetti was the best I have ever had. To end the meal, we had a refreshing lemon sherbet. The service was impeccable and the food was exquisite. It was one of the best places I have ever been to. I give them a...
