Excellent food and service. Maybe the music should have been more Italian to make the atmosphere more authentic but that’s just a matter of taste. Inside the setup is very cosy and tastefully decorated. The pizzas were great. Highly recommend. True to the top reviews posed so far.

We had a lovely dinner here. The truffle pizza was amazing, the dough had a perfect chewy texture and the truffle flavor filled my mouth. So yummy! The salad was recommended by the staff, and we weren’t disappointed at all. I loved the small mozzarella balls, and the fried scampi was so tasty. I’d give an applause to the dressing — of course, we asked for more of it! The pasta was absolutely gorgeous, the flavor was rich and the ingredients were so fresh. Not only was the food excellent, but we also loved the decoration and the vibe of the restaurant. It was cozy and homey. Definitely coming back, and highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a nice spot to enjoy a wonderful dinner.

Best Italian restaurant around Frankfurt. Good food, good prices & good portions. We tried the pizza with mortadella, pistachios & burrata, the cacio pepe pasta & the pistachio soufflé, all were so delicious!

We went today with my family of Italians and approve the pizza 100%. Soft, napoletana style, quick service and good ingredients. Pizzaiolo is also great from catania. Reccomend! Finished with also pistachio tiramisu, even though not a huge fan of pistacchio very good. Thank you all

My wife and I were craving for some good Pizzas on Sunday noon and had to walk 40 minutes to this restaurant because all the ones near us are either bland and unauthentic or closed. Turns out that was the best decision we made that day because the Pizzas here are so freaking delicious, if not the best ones we have enjoyed since a very long time. Besides the tastes, we were welcomed with friendly service and cozy vibes. The space is a bit small so I can imagine it gets packed during busy hours, so make your reservation and be on time. We had a good chuckle when we saw the Hawaii pizza priced at 99 euro, good sarcasm from the team. We have decided that this is THE Pizza place whenever we crave for pizzas, maybe that would be the same for you.

Has quickly become one of our favorite pizza places in Offenbach with the other being Rimini. The food has always been delicious, but we‘ve ended up with the wrong items (usually pasta dishes) delivered a few times. Not a biggie for us because the pizza was always correct!
