Das Leben Ist Schön in Frankfurt am Main

The restaurant offers a lot of pizza and pasta that it can be difficult to decide, but I can recommend the tagliatelle with wild boar ragout - they were really delicious, so the portion could have been even bigger! Drink selection is good and our service was very funny and charismatic, that's what makes it fun :)

Very rustic but cozy authentic Italian restaurant. Delicious food, friendly service. Italian flair with lots of photos on the walls and Italian film posters in the hallways. Highly recommended!

Ciro and Cosimo were not only good but also super nice. Really kind-hearted guys, finally a pleasant and sincere chat between exchanges of points of view and lots of laughter. Between Italian, German and various dialects we ate two nice pizzas and some bitters as well as some excellent espresso martinis! If I ever find myself in Frankfurt I will definitely come back!

Nothing has changed here for years - in a positive sense. The food is very good and the service is unobtrusively attentive. We would love to come back.

Very nice atmosphere, but unfortunately the food is not. When we told the waitress honestly, he didn't let us finish and walked away. After we gave little tip because of this, the waiter complained about it to his colleague barely a meter away from us - sorry, but that's not possible in front of guests!

Pizza with biscuit base. Goes in the direction of a fast (food) pizza shop. Great for large groups. Pizza okay - good

Spectacular! The staff is the main and best ingredient of the place.... genially friendly. Highly recommended

Very tasty and cool atmosphere. Great Italian.

It's really a very nice restaurant. However, it was very crowded and therefore incredibly loud, even on a Tuesday. But the food was really good, which is probably why it was so crowded.

Solid and good food, although the seating at the tables is a bit tight for larger groups. Otherwise everything was tip-top.

Can be a little loud at times but the food and the service is spot on

Eat deliciously like in a trattoria

Nice restaurant, with delicious food and great service. However, it is very tight when it is full

Walked past it by chance and ate some wonderful pasta. Super friendly service, great food. Price performance top. I'd love to come back.

I would call it standard. It doesn't taste exceptional. The portions are small. In my opinion, the price-performance ratio is not right. You have to like the catering service, typically a bit hasty and cheeky but not disrespectful. Very stylish inside with the 100s of pictures, nothing special outside.

Very friendly service. Traditional Italian classics at fair prices and good quality. Good wines. Nice, cozy atmosphere in the Union grounds, nice terrace. For FFM Berlin atmosphere.

Love the food here and the service. I have been there 4 or 5 times when I travel to Frankfurt. Very friendly staff.

We haven't been there for a long time and yesterday's visit was certainly the last. As a starter we had a Caesar salad. This really had nothing to do with a real Caesar salad. The dressing was a ready-made product and super thick. This was simply dumped on a green salad. The pizzas were ok but definitely nothing special, so you have to go there again. There are definitely better and tastier pizza shops around. The service was friendly.

Nicely decorated, large restaurant with an outdoor area, great selection of pasta and pizza dishes - but the waiting time is very long, even though the restaurant wasn't full. We first had a starter (carpaccio, delicious), which came quickly. The pasta then took about 45 minutes to arrive. On the one hand, the service wanted to give us time for the starter, but on the other hand, we had clearly already finished it and sat around hungry for a long time. Too bad. Nevertheless, I would come back and maybe ask for the main course earlier. We paid just under €55 for 1x carpaccio (delicious!), 1x pizza bread, 2x pasta (Caserecce all' amatriciana - delicious and also very spicy and Penne Siciliane - unexpectedly delicious, smoky tomato sauce). The only bad thing was that my pasta was extremely hot and my partner's had already cooled down.

The quality has been maintained for many years

Great food and nice service! Gladly again😊

The food was delicious. The ambience is great and the waitresses were all committed and super friendly. What I found unfortunate, however, is that the truffle pasta is only served with truffle oil and not real truffles. That's what it says on the menu, so I knew that from the start. But it would be the icing on the cake! The bruscetta was to die for!

Unfortunately, an unsuccessful evening. The service today was subpar, apart from the fact that two meals were forgotten and then it took a long time until it came. We weren't asked once if we wanted something to drink. We always had to let us know and then twice because that was also forgotten. The truffle pasta was more like pasta in butter with parmesan but the pizza was super tasty. Unfortunately, no one asked whether it tasted good or whether everything was good. The ambience is great. Unfortunately, the men's toilets were dirty and the entire floor of the squat toilets was wet.

Everything about this place is absolutely perfect. It is definitely not expensive. You can't get better Italian food anywhere in Frankfurt. Drinks are also very delicious. I highly recommend Rigatoni Boscaiola. If you want to understand how good this place is, go to L'Ostria in the beginning of the same street and have the same food and see the difference.

Food excellent, service quick and atmosphere pleasant. a win!

Friendly service, good food, delicious salad. Rustic atmosphere.

Loved their chicken pasta❤️ With red pepper oil it was spicy and delicious 😋. Would recommend. Lemonade was also great 🍋

Beautiful outdoor terrace, covered in shade, facing the quiet courtyard at the back.

Great pizza, nice atmosphere, I come here regularly. Always something going on...

The food was very tasty. A small negative point is that our group's food and drinks arrived at the table with a delay, but this was due to the fact that the restaurant was very busy and is therefore understandable.

Very lovely place to enjoy some Italian food. The service is friendly and very accommodating! We enjoyed and can recommend the fresh salads beforehand, as well as the truffle pasta, spaghetti with prawns, and ragú pasta. The place has many pictures on the walls which gives it a cosy vibe.

Das Leben ist schön - ist bereits eine feste Institution in Frankfurt. Es ist der Place to be für alle, die bestes italienisches Essen genießen möchten. Die Atmosphäre ist einladend und das Personal immer freundlich und aufmerksam. Jeder Besuch ist ein Genuss für die Sinne und eine wahre kulinarische Reise nach Italien. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Friendly, tasty and worth a visit.

So the Italian version Carbonara as it says on the menu was bad on a scale of one to ten it was a 2.6 The bruschetta was a three out of ten The tiramisu was a good 6.5 out of ten

We have eaten here several times now. Whether it's lunch or dinner, the service is always super friendly and the food comes quickly! You can also eat a great salad here and the tiramisu is especially delicious!! We'll definitely come back :)

A nice place to socialize together. The food is good, the staff is friendly and the price-performance ratio is also good. Always recommended if you have something to say to each other after long meetings.

Look the food is great and have eaten here many times but when you ask 6,9 EURO's for a minestrone soup and all it is, is a tiny bit of water with 3 small pieces of carrots in, it is better to take it off the menu... I feel bad writing this as I never had a bad experience her. I just hope they act upon this feedback...

We are Italian restaurateurs ourselves and were on the move, which is why we spontaneously decided to have lunch here after the many positive reviews. My father ordered the Italian Carbonara version, which is prepared without cream. The dish came prepared with a whole egg. It was scrambled eggs with bacon and spaghetti. Note for readers: Only the egg yolk goes into an original carbonara. Even if there is no bacon in a carbonara, we won't complain about it here, as it was, to be fair, mentioned in the menu. My father asked the short-haired waitress if the chef was Italian. She replied "Yes" and turned around and left while my father continued to politely talk to her. She didn't respond or stop or come back to our table. No go! My mother ordered an appetizer plate. This came with artichokes and black pitted olives, which you would normally only find on an inferior pizza, raw, carelessly cut green peppers, fried champions, only 1 slice each of vitello tonnato, coppa, salami. Mysteriously, there were also lemon seeds on the plate, which didn't come from the tonnato. The antipasti plate wasn't seasoned and unfortunately we couldn't ask for an olier because the waitress disappeared completely. The bread that was served with this was from the day before. No go! My friend ordered a tuna and red onion pizza. The only thing where apparently not much can be done wrong. I had a pappardelle with wild boar ragù. Unfortunately, the noodles were extremely soft and not from the same day. In terms of taste, the ragù was edible. To clear the table, the lady came to the table and asked if everything was okay. My father said that he was unfortunately disappointed with the spaghetti. Here, too, there was no demand from the waitress, which meant something was wrong with the food. She simply replied with a fake smile that she would tell the kitchen. When we got to the kitchen we heard loud complaining. There was also no demand from the chef at our table. No go! Finally, we politely called the lady “sorry” to ask for the bill. She didn't look at us, but continued to look at something behind the bar. We were sitting right next to the bar, so she couldn't miss us! So we kept talking and ultimately politely asked for the bill. Again she answers “Yes”. Her gaze was still tilted downwards. No eye contact at all. No go! Did the team have a bad day? I don't know! However, the restaurant only had 3 tables with us at the time. So you can't speak of stress during peak times, but you can speak of dishes that have already been prepared so that guests can be processed quickly during peak times. Unfortunately, quality and taste are completely lost. Where are all the Italians where you can enjoy your meal at the table like Mom and Nonna?

Wir sind hier öfters geschäftlich am essen. Die antipasti Platte ist göttlich, und der Service ist wirklich immer sehr bemüht auch wenn wir wirklich viele Leute waren. Der wolfsbarsch war überraschend gut und auch die pasta Platte war super lecker.

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in Frankfurt! Super delicious, freshly prepared food in an exceptional location. The friendly, courteous staff is magical!

Near to downtown , original Italian food

Very nice service. Delicious food. Prices still within a good range

I ate the Fiocchi formaggio e pere. Unfortunately the dough wasn't that fresh and some fiocchi were half cold. However, the atmosphere in the restaurant is good and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall a mixed experience.

Accueil excellent. Le personnel est plus qu’accueillant, souriant et très polyvalent. La cuisine est bonne, italienne. Les pizzas, les pâtes, les gnocchis mais surtout la bruschetta sont très satisfaisant. Un plaisir de dîner dans cet endroit chaleureux à la décoration atypique et à l’ambiance conviviale.

Delicious pizza in a cool Italian atmosphere. The pizza is a great size. Not too small and not too big. The service is attentive and relatively quick. We thought it was a shame to pay extra for some garlic oil for the pizza. Something like that shouldn't be the case. There is also no bread or olives in front. That could be improved. We still like to come every now and then for a delicious pizza and a wine.

In Life is Beautiful, the food is delicious too! The bruschetta are really delicious. The pasta dishes were really good and ok for the price.

No convenience food. Delicious and freshly made.

A very nice and tasty Italian restaurant. The service is always friendly and fun. The food is really tasty and fresh. There is great pasta and pizza. The only thing I have to complain about is the pasta portions, which could have been a little larger. It's also nice that you can sit outside when the weather is nice.

Waited 60 minutes for a plate of gnocchi.

As a group of 10 people, we came hungry to eat at Alex after a seminar without a reservation. We were immediately given a warm welcome, the waiter was very friendly, the food was great for everyone and the atmosphere was extremely pleasant. Life is Beautiful is a highly recommended restaurant, with something for every palate.

Es passt mal wieder alles, schnelle Bedienung, freundliche Ansprache, gute Preise. Kein Geschwurbel und kein Geschwätz…. so, kann Gastro auf der Union sein und bleiben. Hervorragend…..

The pizza was delicious and baked perfectly, just the way I like it! Beforehand, I enjoyed a refreshing Aperol Spritz, which was the perfect introduction to the meal. The service was exceptionally attentive and friendly. An all-round successful lunch

...but it wasn't the food. You can eat good and bad pizza in Ffm - here it was pretty bad, my son and I felt bad about it during and after the meal. No recommendation for eating pizza!

Very good pizzas. Friendly.. Oh dear.. Warm staff! Prices are very ok.

Lively Italian restaurant with a rustic atmosphere and numerous pictures spread across the walls of the interior. The atmosphere seems very harmonious. The food is quite varied and of good quality at a fair price. The service is also very quick, friendly and accommodating. Recommended!

Delicious food, friendly service, sometimes a bit too loud in the restaurant

Would love to go again, it's a nice restaurant 👍👍👍

Very nice, great food and attentive service. Mauri is great!

Chicly furnished, very cozy location! As of this review, it was my fourth visit there. Unfortunately, it is noticeable that the staff and service take a very long time to take orders/food. Things were different in fall 2022/spring 2023. However, the food is great and tastes just like a real Italian restaurant. ;) We'd love to come back!

It was delicious as always. Attentive and friendly service. Life is BEAUTIFUL. We'll be back very soon.

Yes, life is beautiful. We'd love to come back. The pizza was very tasty and was authentically cared for by Maurizio

The best pizza and pasta in the town! Very friendly atmosphere.

Best pasta, 😋 you feel like you're in Italy

Very friendly, delicious menus always happy here

The worst Italian of my life, I'm even more likely to go to Pizzaria Roma in Fürth. We were there with the company, the service was extremely slow, even though the shop was a maximum of 50% full, the pizzas were rather mediocre and the Gnocci Gorgonzola were pure cream without any Gorgonzola taste. The penne arrabiata wasn't even remotely spicy, it tasted like Napoli sauce from a can. Veal schnitzel was too salty. The only good thing is the dessert, which is why it only gets 2 stars.

A place to go if you go to Frankfurt

Dinner with colleagues after a long day of work. Place is one the most popular restaurants and reservations are needed. It is really crowded on a midweek evening. It has nice atmosphere however not spacious and lot of noise making good conversations difficult. Food is good though my saltimbocca was drenched. Not the best Italian restaurant in my experience.

Pizza was super tasty. Topping fresh and spicy and dough crispy. Food came quickly and hot. Drinks took a while, but still within limits. Has an Italian flair, also due to the volume

My favorite restaurant in Frankfurt 💞

Nicely decorated restaurant with good food and friendly and attentive staff.

Very, very narrow and cluttered, it took an extremely long time until we were served.

Very nice restaurant. The pizza is sensational. Super thin base with crispy edges. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The many photos on the wall create a nice atmosphere.

Went there spontaneously, very good food and friendly staff

The shop is beautifully decorated, lots of pictures on the wall, it smells like pizza when you come in. Food was delicious, service was also great. The only drawback for me is that it is a bit very narrow and squashed, we had to squeeze a bit together at the table and almost had the people from the other table behind us. Because of this narrow space it can get a bit too loud.

The service is really great, what the boys and girls can do in one evening, unbelievable and yet always friendly and in a good mood. Unfortunately, the food is just okay, and my portion of noodles wasn't particularly generous either. I wouldn't necessarily go there again for the food.

A bit outdated ambience, but that probably gives the restaurant its special charm.

It would be hygienic if the tables were cleaned regularly. Unfortunately, these are always totally sticky

There is always an improvement, but it is difficult to get there. Good Italian cuisine in a simple, cozy atmosphere and typical Italian hospitality. Conclusion: definitely reserve a table.

very good. The food is delicious. The service is also very friendly. There were still a lot of people here until nine or ten o'clock in the evening. Highly recommend eating here.

Very very tasty and great service. With the wonderful pictures on the wall, the restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere.

Amazing flavors. The pepperoni pizza was spicy just like I prefer. The spaghetti bolognese had an amazing spicy taste. I would recommend all of it.

The name says it all and that's all you need... pure joy of life... typical Italian at a very good level without being aloof - authentic!

Einfach Lecker, perfekt zum Mittagessen.

Preis - Leistung könnte besser sein.

Vorab möchte ich erwähnen, dass ich insgesamt zwei Male in diesem Restaurant gegessen habe. Beim ersten Mal war alles soweit in Ordnung bis darauf, dass die älteren Kellner etwas gestresst waren und der Ton gegenüber dem Kunden nicht wirklich vornehmend zu sein scheint. Dann sollte man jedoch mehr Personal einstellen, da sich dies ansonsten negativ auf die Kundschaft auswirkt, was man anhand der anderen Bewertungen erkennt. Jetzt zu dem Grund, weshalb ich einen Stern vergebe. Ich hatte beim zweiten Mal einen Caesar Salad mit Hähnchenstreifen bestellt. Nachdem ich alles verzehrt hatte merkte ich schon, dass irgendetwas in meinem Magen nicht stimmt, weshalb ich auch kein Trinkgeld da gelassen habe, woraufhin ich von dem Herren nicht mal verabschiedet worden bin. Kurz gesagt: Ich hatte die schlimmste Nacht meines Lebens. Insgesamt habe ich mich im Abstand von dreißig Minuten sieben Mal übergeben und Durchfall ohne Ende gehabt. Fakt ist, dass es mir nach dem Essen nicht gut ging. Ich versuche weder das Restaurant schlecht zu machen noch jemanden runterzuziehen. Ich teile lediglich meine Erfahrung, damit sowas nicht wieder passiert. Das Lokal an sich ist mal was anderes.

Essen super lecker! Service sehr aufmerksam und freundlich....Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Wunderschönes Ambiente. Wollte mit meiner besten Freundin eigentlich woanders hin, aufgrund der Spontanität hatten wir uns dann für hier entschieden und bereuen es keineswegs! Sehr aufmerksamer Service das Essen war auch wirklich ein Genuss vom Salat bis hin zur Pasta aus der empfehlungskarte. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Abend lieben Dank an das Team und besonders an den zuvorkommenden Kellner!🫶🏽

Seit Jahren gehen gern hier her und genießen das leckere it. Essen!

Comida é maravilhosa... ambiente muito legal... o serviço deixa um pouco a desejar o dono não fala inglês, e não tem interesse em ajudar... mas vale a experiência pela comida.

Schönes Restaurant mit sehr schönen Bildern an den Wänden. Pizza ist ganz gut aber es gibt viel bessere. Das Restaurant lebt von seinen Style und der Location.

Muss echt sagen, die Pizza war gut und knusprig. Netter Service!

Essen sehr lecker, von Chef bis Bedienungen alle sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sehr zu empfehlen 👍

Eigentlich ein super schönes Restaurant. Die Wände mit den Fotos finde ich super. Zum Essen. Die Pizza war ganz gut. Die Artischocken auf der Pizza jedoch schlecht geschält und hölzern. Ansonsten gut. Das Schnitzel war nicht paniert, was nicht schlimm ist. Aber es war einfach zu dick, überhaupt nicht geklopft und somit irgendwie zäh. Soße und Kartoffeln geschmacklich gut. Das größte Manko empfand ich jedoch die viel zu enge Bestuhlung. Man saß soooo eng aufeinander. Wir saßen an langer Tafel direkt an der Wand. Wenn einer raus wollte mussten 5 andere aufstehen um Platz zu machen. Gemütlich ist anders. Ich weiß nicht, ob es immer so eng bestuhlt ist oder nur in der Vorweihnachtszeit. Service war nett und unterhaltsam ☺️.

Service gut essen super Ambiente super

Wegen Umbauarbeiten war leider der Pizzaofen gesperrt, die Pasta war gut.

Wir waren als Teamevent hier. Das Restaurant hat sicherlich seinen Flair, ist aber geschmacklich und akustisch eher oberes Mittelfeld. Leider hatten wir den Platz direkt am Ein- u Ausgang was unsere Damen etwas frösteln lies. Das Servicepersonal war ausgesprochen freundlich und trotz der Hohen Anzahl an Besuchern recht zügig :)

Wie immer tolles Essen und sehr netter und schneller Service. Unser Lieblings-Italiener.

Un lloc entranyable. Una cuina italiana molt bona amb una acurada presentació. El personal molt simpàtic i agradable. En definitiva, és un lloc que recomanarem.

I enjoyed the Kaprese and Bolognese, both bursting with authentic flavors. Exceptional food and a perfect atmosphere make it a must-visit in Frankfurt.

Seit über 20 Jahren beste Pizza und andere italienische Gerichte!
