AMOROSO an der Alten Oper in Frankfurt am Main

Top service, very nice staff The food and dessert have always been very tasty I usually order the ravioli of the day or pasta

Incredible wine selection, the wine list alone is a reason to come, professional service, absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared dishes that you can't get any better: Of course that has its price. But satisfaction is also 'priceless'.

If you're looking for a true Italian culinary experience in Frankfurt, Amoroso is the place to be. The menu is a delightful blend of classic and contemporary Italian dishes, each one bursting with fresh, authentic flavors. The pasta is a standout—perfectly al dente, with sauces that are rich and full of depth. The service is top-notch, with friendly Italians and knowledgeable staff who go out of their way to make your experience memorable. Highly recommend to sit outside as you can admire the Alter Opera building.

Great food, very courteous service, great location - perfect!

Chic, very cozy, something for real couples, great women and mega men, but the service shouldn't be so hectic

A nice little restaurant right on Opernplatz with a view of the opera. Especially in summer with rolling outdoor seating with a view of the Alte Oper. But even in winter it is very cozy inside in an upscale atmosphere. The service is extremely attentive and with genuine, warm friendliness. It's like a little trip to Italy. The beef tenderloin was good but standard. The pasta with black truffle (Tartufo Nero) was outstanding, truly a poem.

We absolutely love this place and we come often from far away. The staff is like family and the food is very delicious.

I ❤️ it! Ambience - cuisine - service Perfect 🤩

Food, service and ambience were great, highly recommended. The prices for some wine or some dishes seemed just a little too high to me.

Our lunch at AMOROSO at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. We sat outside on the sunny terrace which provided a perfect setting for a relaxed yet luxurious lunch. We started with fresh oysters as a starter, which were simply great. They were served with the necessary care, had the perfect freshness and a delicate taste of the sea that immediately put us in the holiday mood. We also enjoyed a perfectly chilled bottle of Ruinart Rosé, which complemented the oysters perfectly with its delicate fruitiness. The champagne was perfect for this moment - sparkling, fresh and just the right choice for the warm, sunny midday. For the main course we chose the spaghetti with truffles and the spaghetti alle vongole. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the combination of flavors was to die for. The earthy notes of the truffles harmonized perfectly with the freshness of the seafood, and the whole thing was so lovingly prepared that it was almost a shame to touch it. The service at AMOROSO was equally excellent. Attentive, professional and with a smile, the team made us feel completely comfortable without ever being intrusive. Every little thing was thought through, from the champagne to the perfect timing of the dishes. This lunch was a moment of pure enjoyment – ​​fresh oysters, delicious pasta, cool Ruinart Rosé and the warming sun.

Absolutely nothing special about the food. I could have cooked the pasta much better at home, with better seasoning. It took over one hour to prepare this dish. No one really cared. We came 1,5 hours prior to a concert at the Alte Oper and were almost late to the event. We had to pour everything down our throats and had absolutely no time to enjoy anyhting because it was so late. One table that came after us and ordered after us even left having eaten before we were even served our food. I don't recommend this establishment at all.

Waited an hour for the food. Service was nice, but you wait forever for the things you ordered and for the bill.

Unfortunately I cannot give this restaurant a good rating. We waited an incredible **1 hour and 45 minutes** for our food - without a single dish ending up on our table. The service was an absolute disaster. The waiters seemed completely overwhelmed, barely paid any attention to us and were anything but friendly. We asked several times where our food was, but no one could give us a clear answer. We ended up leaving without eating because the wait was simply unbearable. One thing is certain for us: we will definitely not go here again! In addition, the prices are absolutely overpriced and disproportionate!!!

The best restaurant and service on Opernplatz. Special thanks to Angelo and his team 💯👌🏻

The Amoroso restaurant has been an institution on Opernplatz for years, i.e. in the best location in Frankfurt. But it's not just the atmosphere of the location that keeps us coming back to this first-class Italian restaurant. The food and wine selection is first-class and many of my international guests are always more than impressed when I invite them there. Not to forget the service that meets these high standards. I would single out the waiter Angelo, who makes every visit seem like a reunion with friends. Amoroso? It's a pleasure.

The Opernplatz is an expensive place and the Amoroso is its flagship. The ambience is good, but there are many places with far better views and locations. Let's get to the point: For this price range, the quality of the food is just as out of the question as the drink prices are exorbitant. The interesting location and the generally good service don't help either. But the audience, who are not very demanding in terms of cuisine, like it and the restaurant is well staffed. If you don't have any special demands on the kitchen and don't have a problem walking out with a three-figure bill, you can have a nice evening. And it is precisely with this attitude that you should look at and enjoy the Amoroso; it is definitely not an option for gourmets and people with a reasonable sense of price.

Unfortunately not like it used to be. Food max. average. Prices are simply excessive for the quality. Very unfortunate. We always enjoyed being there.

Beautiful restaurant with a nice staff. Food is delicious and cocktails are amazing. You will not regret it.

Yes, the prices have risen, but like everywhere else you have to keep in mind that the location alone requires a very high rent. Here you at least know that everything is true: the food is great, the service is professional and the view, the ambience is cozy, everything is 5 stars. Thanks Angelo

Good food but definitely pricey. However, great location! Service was okay, had the feeling they either didn’t listen or understand what we were saying.

Friendly and attentive service, delicious food and wine.

Every time a wonderful evening with really good service. I can recommend the truffle pasta to everyone

There is a risk of experiencing open xenophobia from a service worker. If you are a marginalized person, you should avoid this place.

Restaurant is really good, but the waiter with long hair was very rude

We eat at Amoroso regularly and it's always fantastic! The Amoroso team is super friendly and always makes us want to come back. I recommend the pasta arrabiata, especially as a starter. The salt-crusted fish is always excellent, as is the tartare duo. Amoroso also has by far the best view of the Alte Oper compared to the neighboring restaurants. Absolutely recommended!

My visit to Amoroso was simply perfect. The stylish, cozy atmosphere and the fantastic view of the opera made the evening something special. The service was first class - attentive, friendly and with a passion for Italian cuisine. The food was excellent: fresh ingredients, expertly prepared dishes and a tiramisu that rounded off the evening perfectly. An all-round successful experience that I can only recommend to every lover of Italian cuisine. I'll definitely be back!

Service was excellent as always Food was excellent We felt super comfortable Super nice location

Unfortunately, the high-priced restaurant on Opernplatz was disappointing. Both the service and the food were third-rate and too expensive. Ordered drinks were not brought, supposedly warm bread was just hard and stale. Sorry, but that's not how you inspire your customers, it's a shame😠

I wasn't allowed to use the toilet

Best location on Opernplatz and that's what you pay the price for. Unfortunately, the food and service have declined recently. I hope that there will be more focus here again and that people will treat their guests more carefully.

6 of us ate there today. The service was an absolute disaster. The cutlery was literally thrown at my father-in-law. We were served by 5 different waiters in the 2 hours we were there. Nobody really felt responsible. Main courses arrived very late. Starters were delicious. The Jaupthang was also ok, but absolutely no value for money. The creme brulee was a touch of nothing. Was maybe 1.5 tablespoons total. As decoration there was brown old mint and a whole strawberry that was still frozen and looked disgusting. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant. The location is nice, but unfortunately it has nothing else to offer.

Actually nicely located at the old opera, but service was very bad. Not served at the beginning, then drinks & Received the starter - it was ok - forgot the next drinks and didn't manage to get the main course in 1.5 hours, not very friendly.

The food, the ambience, the atmosphere, the attitude to life, but also the drinks, especially the Espresso Martini from Flavio - best in town ;)

You are basically paying for the location as the food is average and the service is okay

Best during warm weather when the outdoor section of the restaurant is open.

Impeccable taste of fish. Delicious wine and vegetables. Atmospheric place. Great service.

Unfortunately, price-performance doesn't match here at all. The food is completely overpriced and, at the prices quoted, is of inferior quality. In addition, the portions are extremely small. The bread that you get at every table in advance with a dip and olives causes bloody gums and the dip tastes like nothing. The fish for over €40 is also well prepared but unfortunately tasteless. The vegetables were extremely few and cooked through. The service is annoyed, stressed and does not give the customer a feeling of well-being. Finally, a criticism that is certainly a matter of taste, but the audience didn't like it at all. The motto here is: “see and be seen”. Not our taste. As if that weren't enough, constant harassment from homeless people who ask for money at the tables is also included.

Bad quality of food, not a true italian restaurant since they cook everything in butter and the sercice super slow.. for such prices and location you have higher expectations

Quite a good restaurant but unfortunately a bit too expensive

Excellent food and service! Pasta just right, excellent schnitzel.

What a beautiful restaurant with opera house right in front of you. Delicious food, perfectly cooked to fine dining standards. Unfortunately it's too expensive so I couldn't order more and eat to my heart's content.

Very nice place, "a little expensive" for two €240 but very very romantic

I tried creme brulee, but the coffee was good. A slightly touristy cafe is not very good. Also, they make you sit down and ask you to give them too much.

Fantastic food in a very beautiful setting

We asked this evening if we could get a table. The first waiter said we should wait 2 minutes. After 25 minutes of waiting, another waiter came and took two people who came 20 minutes after us. When asked that we were waiting longer, the waiter became loud and explained passionately that he didn't know who was there first. We didn't react at first and waited another 5 minutes. After a total of 30 minutes of waiting, we were shown a table. After we sat down, 5 minutes later the first waiter came to the table and asked who gave us this seat. We replied that it was the colleague with the long hair. He then said: "Then tell him to serve you, I already have enough tables here." We waited another 5 minutes without being given a menu. After a total wait of 45 minutes, we moved on hungry. At Alfios next door we were treated with respect and hospitality. Waiters like those at Amoroso should never be employed anywhere, especially not in such a beautiful location.

Unfortunately, a lot has changed. The Amoroso has more and more the flair of the Fressgass. Service absolutely snooty and arrogant and then bad and rude. Toilets are in a miserable condition on Friday evenings. Paper towels and toilet paper cannot be found. Information to this effect will be ignored. Food is delicious, but incredibly expensive. The special charm of the location has been lost.

Out on the terrace at night, you get a great view of the lit up skyscrapers and plaza.

Second time at Amoroso. Food average and service very bad. Asked for a glass of tap water with the double espresso, which was refused with a stupid grimace. Not recommended.

My favorite Italian restaurant in Frankfurt City. The food lives up to its price. When it's full, you sometimes have to wait a while for food and drink to arrive. However, time goes by quickly given the atmosphere. If you like high-quality Italian food, you should visit the restaurant.

Great location and very good food. Unfortunately the service is just bad! The staff is very arrogant! You only get attention when you signal sales. You also have to wait a long time for the food. Here's the waiter's remark - it's your own fault if you come on a Saturday lunchtime! That doesn't work at all! Especially not for the price!

Unfortunately only mixed feelings... Had a pasta with fish - very thin and fatty sauce - the fish was rather rubbery. However, the price is correspondingly high, so you could expect a little more here - maybe just a bad day... However, the atmosphere at the place is very nice!

The food is so delicious, great restaurant. Thanks DINO

We ate at Amoroso for the first time on Saturday evening and will definitely go there again. The food was really exceptionally good. The service was top and we had a fantastic time.

We waited on the terrace for 30 minutes for the order to be taken and then another 20 minutes for the drink to be brought. 3 different waiters served us. The pasta we ordered was very salty.. disappointed with the service and the salty food! tasteless!. a far cry from Italian pasta.

Nice culinary experience, well prepared food, good wine. The Team was very friendly and nice! Good food good food good food

Amoroso has it all: excellent service, delicious food and a magical atmosphere. Every detail has been designed with love for enjoyment and hospitality. An unforgettable culinary experience that I can recommend to everyone. 🇮🇹🍝🍷

Absolutely amazing. Even better than in Italy (from an Italian)

I liked it so much that I returned a few days later. I found the staff extremely kind and friendly. The first day we went we ordered a burrata and an artichoke to share which were very good, as a second course I ordered the ravioli of the day which were fig with Serrano ham and they were spectacular, however what took the prize of the night was the pistachio dessert. A delicious pistachio volcano which we devoured every last bit. We also ordered cheesecake for dessert which was also very good. For our second visit we ordered two carpaccio in the center and for the main course I ordered a pasta with truffle that was very good. Obviously we repeated the pistachio volcano for dessert. The place is small and cozy, it has a great terrace with a view of the opera that can surely be enjoyed a lot in warmer times. The prices are somewhat high but if you want to treat yourself to a delicious dinner I definitely recommend it.

Great restaurant, very pleasant atmosphere, very friendly and very attentive. Exquisite dishes. Any time!

Excellent pasta lovely location friendly staff

Der sprichwörtliche Hunger hat uns im Dezember,durchnässt und frierend ins Amoroso an der Alten Oper getrieben.Es war etwa 16.30 Uhr und genau das ist schon lobend hervorzuheben.Wo findet man heute noch ein gutes Restaurant,daß mittags oder wie in diesem Fall sogar durchgehend geöffnet hat.Wir aßen gegrillte Calamaretti auf Wildkräutersalat (perfekt),Vitello Tonnato und (eine riesen Portion) hausgemachte Agnolotti mit Fassone-Rind gefüllt mit schwarzen Trüffeln.Alles von allerbester Qualität und Frische.Der Service ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam (Parmesan wird am Tisch frisch über die Pasta gerieben)Die Weine sind gut und werden stilvoll in schönen Gläsern serviert,die Ambiente ist sehr gemütlich, so wie man sich ein italienisches Restaurant im possitiven Sinn vorstellt.Wir kommen bestimmt wieder. Harry Borst,Koch

Comida preparada e apresentada com primor; ambiente pequeno, mas bem aconchegante e equipe gentil e acolhedora. Recomendo.

Spontan zum Glück noch einen Tisch bekommen, bevor wir in die Alte Oper gegangen sind. Ambiente sehr geschmackvoll, Service wirklich sympathisch und aufmerksam, Essen unglaublich lecker! Gerne wieder…!

Toller Service und leckeres Essen und guter Wein

Es encantador, acogedor y el servicio excelente!

Ihr seid ein Traum! Danke, dafür!

Very friendly staff. We were late, there was no table available. So we had a perfect diner at the bar with extremely friendly service. This was a memorable evening thanks to the guys of Amoroso.

Leckeres Essen, hervorragender Wein...wir hatten einen tollen Abend letzte Woche bei Euch. Danke!

Super gegessen mit sehr aufmerksamen Personal

Die Seezunge Wildefang einfach vorzüglich! Das Personal super locker und freundlich. Der Gast steht absolut in Vordergrund. Danke ich komme wieder.

Das Amoroso enttäuscht NIE, ob nun Hauptgang oder Dessert! Es ist einen Besuch wert auch, wenn die Preise gehoben sind.

Wir waren zu viert hier essen und es fabelhaft. Der Service war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Als Vorspeise gab es gegrillte Calamaretti und Carpaccio, beides hat hervorragend geschmeckt. Der Hauptgang, Trüffel tagliatelle und Fisch, war exzellent. Es wurde sehr großzügig Trüffel verwendet, nicht nur fürs Auge 😉 Preislich ist es sehr teuer, aber angesichts des Essens und der Lage in Ordnung… Frankfurter Niveau.

Für das Preisniveau habe ich mir mehr erwartet. Insgesamt lange Wartezeiten, essen war nicht schlecht aber auch nicht der reisser. Tolle Lage, freundliches Personal, was aber teilweise lange auf sich warten lässt.

Very nice place to lunch outside with view on the Old Opera (one of Frankfurt’s nicest spots). Excellent food and good service.

مطعم ايطالي الاكل لذيذ والخدمه ممتازه

Hervorragendes Essen, angenehmer Service, preislich eher im Topsegment

Danke für den schönen Abend. Sehr guter Service und Qualität der Speisen.

Rundum Gut. Guter Aufmerksamer Service, gutes Essen, Top Lage an der Alten Oper. Preislich bisschen Abgehoben, aber für das Gesamte Paket schon Ok. Falls wieder in Frankfurt, dann bestimmt wieder vor Ort. ✌️

Ein Muss für Jeden, der authentische italienische Küche mit der wohl schönsten Location in Frankfurt sucht. Direkt an der alten Oper, 1 Minute vom Parkhaus entfernt.

Service unacceptable ( Server drinks with other guests while we are waiting to order Aperitif ) Aperol Spritz not sparkling Pasta 32-35 € (different to Price at the HP: 26,50€) Atmosphere terrible (barking dog), hectic waiters

Das Essen war sehr gut. Der Service der Kellner war hervorragend.

Aufpassen.. hier nimmt man es mit den Preisen nicht so ernst .. habe gestern für ein kleines Wasser, ein Glas Wein und einen Salat 56€ bezahlt .. kann vorne und hinten nicht stimmen ..

Beste Trüffelpasta ever! Dazu Top Weine in bester Lage :)

Waren schon öfters im Amoroso. Die Lage an der alten Oper ist natürlich top.Essen, Freundlichkeit des Personals und Ambiente sind unschlagbar. Wurden immer freundlich und charmant empfangen. Weiter so und bis zum nächsten Mal 👍🥂🍾

Ein Vorzeigeitaliener an einem Standort, wie er prominenter kaum sein könnte. Das Amorosa ist direkt an der Alten Oper in Frankfurt. Ohne Reservierung geht hier an vielen Abenden gar nichts. Wir konnten Anfang September draußen sitzen. Trotz Hochbetrieb war der Service flott und freundlich bis witzig. Das kennt man von männerdominierten Italienern auch anders. Das Essen ist hervorragend. Die Vorspeisen nach Brot und Butter waren wirklich reichlich. Auch die Hauptspeisen sind nicht klein. Grenzwertig sind die Preise. Ich ziehe keinen Stern ab, weil man das wissen kann vorher. Wem es zu teuer ist, kann und sollte sich in Frankfurt etwas anderes suchen. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es, weil man als Vegetarier verloren ist. Jedenfalls laut Speisekarte.

Wem das Motto der heutigen Oberflächlichen ist "sehen und gesehen werden", der ist hier genau richtig, denn ich gebe zwar gerne Geld für gutes Essen aus, aber nicht wenn man abgezockt wird. Übertrieben kleine Portionen für grosses Geld, aber der Laden ist voll, sodass ich daraus schliesse, dass eben vielen das Motto wichtiger ist.

Ganz hervorragend, sehr hochpreisig aber das Geld wert. Das Kalbskotelett war ein Traum. Werde sicher wiederkommen.

Estive no local para almoçar com uma menina no dia em que conhecemos o centro de Frankfurt,mas me assustei com os preços.O local é comum,serve na rua,como tantos outros,mas tem preços abusivos de mais de 20 euros cada prato.

I wish I could give a better review. The spaghetti with vongole clams was quite good. There was a piano player nearby which would have made the meal quite enjoyable. Unfortunately, the service was slow…except when it came to clearing my table of the remaining bread and olives while I was in the WC. They did that, although they still did not bring the check. After I ordered, I needed to wait 15 minutes for water and even longer for bread. I needed to flag him down to ask for cheese on my pasta. He never checked back to see how it was (I would have liked some pepper). I was eating alone, so these waits were extremely noticeable.

Sehr schöne Location. Kellner sind überheblich und unfreundlich. Dafür wenigstens langsam und unaufmerksam. Das Essen besticht nur durch uberhöhte Preise. Das es weit besser geht erfährt man übrigens genau nebenan 🤗

Sehr schönes Restaurant mit sehr gutem Essen und Getränken. Leider haben sich andere Gäste ungefragt dazugesellt.

Alles perfekt sehr freundliches Personal gutes Essen und großartige Wein Auswahl komme gerne wieder

Excellent food … nice ambience and outdoors are incredible

Preislich ist das AMOROSO sehr weit oben angesiedelt, man fühlt sich wohl und man fühlt sich willkommen. Ich werde wieder hingehen.

Keine Frage, direkt an der alten Oper zu sitzen ist schön. Wir haben uns das Amoroso ausgesucht und auch vorher reserviert. Beide Gerichte der völlig überteuerten Karte, die wir gewählt haben, waren nicht vorhanden. Der Wein musste 2 mal nachbestellt werden, wurde vergessen. Eine Lautstärke, durch die eng gestellten Tische, wie in einer belebten Einkaufsmeile. Ja, alte Oper ist ein schöner Platz, aber das Amoroso gibt es nur, weil es die Alte Oper gibt. Ein eigenes Flair und einen passenden Service haben sie nicht entwickelt. Aber in Frankfurt gibt es auch noch andere schöne Plätze und wirklich gute Restaurants.

Schon beim Betreten sehr netter und freundlicher Empfang .Alle Mitarbeiter die zu unserem Tisch kamen waren zuvorkommend und keineswegs aufdringlich.Unser Essen top angerichtet ,Geschmacklich hervorragend,und super Qualität.Wir kommen mit Sicherheit bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Frankfurt wieder .

Sicher ist das Restaurant eher hochpreisig, aber lieber gehe ich einmal hier essen als zweimal mittelmäßig. Der Service ist toll, freundlich und entspannt, das Essen und die gebotenen Weine exzellent. Was will man mehr?

Locale piccolo (anche se con veranda esterna), gestito da italiani. Cibo molto buono, servizio veloce e attento. Non male ma spazi veramente ridotti (eravamo 20 persone) Comunque una bella esperienza. Lo consiglio.

Nur ganz kurz: freundlicher Empfang und Service und ein köstliches Thunfisch-Carpaccio! Das Lokal werde ich mir auf jeden Fall merken!

Wir waren mal wieder im Amoroso zum Abendessen und hatten einen netten Abend dort verbracht. Die Bedienung war wie immer italienisch unterkühlt aber sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Getränke und Speisen waren lecker. Wir freuen uns schon auf den Sommer, wenn wir dort ohne zusätzliche Heizung draussen sitzen können.
