Der Italiener in Trier

Excellent Pizzeria in Trier. My favorite: Pizza Livorese, if you like it spicy, taste it! Very friendly service.

Best pizzeria in Trier! A great show to watch the master making pizza. 🥰

We wanted to go to the Trier Christmas market and were looking for and found accommodation for two days. Rooms are a bit older but value for money is incredibly good! But I would be happy to replace the hairdryer ;) We had a room at the back, so it was very quiet and you are immediately at the main market. Class. But the food is a highlight. Anyone who likes Italian cuisine will get their money's worth here. The open pizza kitchen in the middle part is particularly great. And it tastes very good too! Clear recommendation.

The pizzeria is really amazing! The best in Trier. And the staff has been the same for years and is always very friendly. I would recommend anyone to stop here for lunch or dinner.

Pasta was very good, pizza unfortunately soggy in the middle

The food was excellent, the service was very friendly and nice, and the price/performance ratio was right in our opinion! We'd love to come back

Impeccable pizza served with good service. Flawless

Everything was great, very nice staff and the food is really delicious, I can only recommend it

The Ristorante Pizzeria am Frankenturm is a story in itself. For many Trier residents, it's the best Italian restaurant in the city; for us, it was always a place for a cozy get-together with the family, especially on holidays and birthdays. Since I've become more culinary-savvy, I've also sampled the menu here. My interim conclusion: Everything is delicious, but ultimately, the presentation contributes more to the overall impression of the dish than its actual taste. My last visit increasingly confirmed everything I've been trying to forgive for years. This time, it was Taglioloni al Tartufo. The mere mention of the name "truffle" conjures up that iconic aroma. For a modest price of €29, this delicacy was served to me, with a moderate amount of time between the other dishes. The additionally ordered Insalata Siciliana, half leaf lettuce/vegetables, half grated cheese (specifically grated mozzarella), initially came without dressing, which was quickly added later in the form of a thick sauce. The taste was fine, fresh, but also rather unspectacular. When the pasta arrived, this plate shone with a very delicate presentation worthy of fine dining – individual elements were visually appropriate, but less so in terms of taste, but that was only a peripheral distraction. What was sorely missing, however, was the delicate, earthy-salty aroma created by the fusion of truffle and Parmesan, but hope remained until the first fork sank into the mouth – nothing. Given the amount of grated truffles, one would have expected a lot, but this impression was confirmed when it was passed around the table. Ultimately, for me, this only meant that the truffles used couldn't have been fresh. What remained was the appropriate taste of an "Alfredo," the consistency also being fine, but the last few bites could only be savored from an oily soup. The tarnished impression of a few mistakes summed up in disappointment. The remaining dishes didn't seem to impress anyone too much either. In follow-up discussions, it was noted that this had happened several times. The subsequent three-times-presentation of the dessert menu by the staff has already become a habit. I will give the Ristorante Pizzeria am Frankenturm one last chance to see what a pizza is supposed to be and will adjust or add to this review accordingly. My conclusion: Yes, it may be the best Italian restaurant in Trier, but the reasons are sadly shocking: Unfortunately, there are no good Italian restaurants in Trier.

We were very satisfied with the food and service. Very child friendly. A dark-skinned couple sat next to us. They were treated just as kindly and courteously as we and everyone else.

Top loading, top service, top eating 🔥

Simply fantastic! Yesterday we had a wonderful evening at the Pizzeria Frankenturm. The food was incredibly delicious. I've been here several times and will definitely come back often. The atmosphere was again very pleasant, cozy and inviting. As always, the service was friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back! Absolutely recommended!

The Pizzeria am Frankenturm in Trier offers an authentic Italian restaurant experience with a charming courtyard. We praise the delicious pizzas and friendly service. The homemade tiramisu for dessert is especially recommended. The central location in the old town, near the main market square, makes the restaurant an ideal spot for locals and tourists alike. A visit to the Ristorante Pizzeria Hotel Frankenturm promises an unforgettable culinary experience in a historic setting.

It tastes fresh and delicious, so I can only recommend everyone to try the restaurant

Absolutely recommended! Great food, friendly service and fair prices!

Bad experience Were treated very badly by the service. I don't know where the problem was. We always had to ask for everything and the neighboring tables were served all the time. The pizza was delicious. The carbonara was super bad. Small portion, little bacon and more cream noodles. I don't think there was even parmesan in it. It's a shame given the good rating, we expected more

First of all, we got the worst seat. Then me and my partner were ignored for the entire time except when serving drinks and eating. The waiters were very passive aggressive, I think because of my skin color. The food was also very bad. Every table next to us was served and repeatedly asked if everything was OK. Because of my black skin color, I was ignored. We were looked at aggressively and in a derogatory way. I think it's a shame that in 2025 there will still be racism, especially among people who don't speak German themselves. I will never come there again and everyone advise against.

Very decent pizza at this place, and the price is just right. We arrived for lunch on a busy Saturday in Trier, and we stumbled upon this place. Servers are friendly and the kitchen in fast. I'd be glad to dine here again!

Amazing Restaurant 👏 It was my tastiest Risotto with vegetables in my life! Thank you! I'll definitely come back!

Food was very tasty, portions were very large. Price performance great. Service was attentive and friendly. Really 10/10 👍👍👍

Very tasty food. There are too many tables next to each other for me personally

Amazing experience. We came with a big group, and they were super fast with our food. And it tasted delicious. The staff was very friendly and understanding. Very good:)

Friendly staff, hearty pizza but average quality of ingredients/flavors - examples: it was certainly not Mozarella but a fairly ordinary melted cheese The olives were very bland (I don't expect Kalamata every time but this was really an entry-level olive)

Super tasty pizza and friendly service.

Arrived in Trier...and now enjoy... Among other things, in the ristorante Frankenturm. Rather inconspicuous from the outside, the kitchen is first class. This time I had penne alla panna...and it was perfect. Noodle slightly salty, firm to the bite, hot... the sauce was creamy, spicy, tasted of ingredients and seemed fresh. ..the herbs definitely. Otherwise...Italian...and despite the hotel...a real restaurant. Update 12/24: Pizza Caprese. Wow. The mozzarella was cold. That was exciting and another good pizza. The primitivo nothing special. The Ramazzotti isn't sour enough for me. Still...good location and a lot going on.

Terrible experience. No interest in giving patrons a good experience. It's a dark, dingy place, smells horrible. Owners motivated only by greed. For example, I ordered a glass of wine and got approximately 2 Oz. When I questioned it, I was greeted with shrugged shoulders. That's just one example of several. Staff seems miserable as well.

Super delicious 😋 the pizza 🍕 was very tasty and well topped. The pasta, homemade tagliatelle, was also very tasty.

Very tasty schnitzels. I'd love to come back.

Great food. Very friendly waitresses. Only recommended

Great restaurant very good food very welcoming staff I recommend 10/10 a big thank you and see you soon

Great restaurant, great service and really delicious food! Unconditional recommendation

Starting from the ambience, the staff and the food, everything was a 10/10. The staff was very accommodating and completely professional. There were no problems with any process. We had 1.5 hours because the table was reserved. Not long after ordering, the pizza arrived. You would think that quick preparation would diminish the quality, but the pizza was perfect throughout. Fresh ingredients and a crispy dough, which were perfect together. The price-performance ratio was also absolutely appropriate. Highly recommended!

We had a delicious meal with about 20 people (I had mussels 😀) and had a lovely Christmas party there.

Excellent food, professional service, acceptable prices.

Due to the many positive reviews, we came here with quite high expectations. The decor is well done, the service is quick and attentive. So the first impression was very positive. The map is manageable, which is a good sign. My barometer in Italian restaurants is the spagetti carbonara. And what can I say, they are served here with cream and smoked meat. Ragazzzi whoever makes pasta with cream will go to Italian hell. Cream belongs in dessert and nowhere else. Apparently the chef is not Italian. The second negative point was the Primitivo, which was served too warm. Unfortunately, this is more the rule than the exception. We've been to Tuscany several times and they can't read the label either. Our noodles were okay but not anymore. The empty dishes were quickly cleared away, but the empty wine glasses were no reason for the service to ask if we wanted to drink something else. Overall, we had the impression of mass processing; we didn't feel like guests.

I had a Sofia Loren pizza, which is famously made with eggs. However, not only was the egg on it, but also a lot of leftover shells. I put it aside on the plate and pointed it out to the waiter when I was paying. I got no reaction other than a shrug of the shoulders - not even an apology or a discount. I found it pretty bold and disappointing. By the way, the egg was more raw than a fried egg.

great food, cozy, staff very nice.

Great Italian restaurant with mega large pizzas. It was very good. The ambience is great and the open fire oven is impressive. The service guys were quick and very nice. My wife's lamb was also roasted beautifully pink. Gladly again. The store is always busy, so call or come early around 6 p.m.

An absolute hit! 🎯 The Ristorante Pizzeria Frankenturm impresses across the board. 👌 The concept is consistent, the service is top notch and the selection of drinks and food leaves nothing to be desired. 🍽️🍷 I was particularly impressed by the aperitif Ramazzotti Rosato Via - simply heavenly! 🍹 The pizza? Craziness! 🍕 One of the best I've ever eaten in Germany - perfectly baked and full of flavor. The cozy ambience rounds off the evening. 🕯️ We had an incredibly pleasant and relaxing evening. Any time! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We arrived to spend the night last night and the experience was disappointing. The bathroom was dirty with hair in the drain, no toilet paper (one being just the roll without any paper), the floor had drops of pee. The TV did not pick up any channels as you can see in the photos. We complained through booking where they informed us that they would resolve our problem but they did nothing. The only good things about this stay were the location and the bed, which is wonderful.

Great staff with fun on their faces… the food fantastic - very authentic Italian cuisine! Whether stone oven pizza or pasta - it tastes really good here.

Unfortunately, the last visit was less nice. The rocket was yellow and bad and there was soil in the salad.

Nice service, good food, you just have to be a little patient, probably because there is a lot going on. At least on weekends.

Positive: central, quiet, cheap What was very negative for me was that the hotel is not handicapped accessible and that there was no prior information about it. You have to climb 3 steps to the front door and there is no elevator! For me as a disabled person, this was a catastrophe! I had to leave my walker at the front door and carry my luggage upstairs alone. There is also no reception. You get the room key from an electronic compartment that can be opened using a code that you receive by email. No problem for younger people, but for older and disabled people I would advise against the Hotel Frankenturm.

There were four of us. Came by on a recommendation. The restaurant was very busy. The service was super fast, we had vitello tonato and bruscetta as a starter and various pasta dishes (e.g. a la Chef, with salmon, etc.). Unfortunately the pasta wasn't quite done yet. Still highly recommended.

Food deserves 5 star Hotel is 3 star per se. there is a towel that is randomly placed in the toilet when I stepped in the room. The voice insulation is also subpar - I was awaken by my neighbor’s alarm. There’s no AC but a fan. In sum, you get what you pay for

Excellent pizzeria with professional staff.

Just dined there. Nice, quiet atmosphere on a shady side street.

The Frankenturm in Trier offers the best pizza I have ever eaten. The drinks arrived within a minute, and the food was on the table in less than 10 minutes. The service was extremely friendly and the ambience was very pleasant and calm. The open kitchen, where you could watch the chefs working their magic, was particularly impressive. We would like to come again!

Always a great experience. Great service and super delicious food

Review refers to the restaurant. Every time we are in Trier we go to the Frankenturm, to the pizzeria. From steak to pasta to pizza, everything is great at a fair price. Staff amazing, very attentive, friendly and yet they have everything in view. Respect for that. Clear recommendation.

Not bad, but our room did need an upgrade, some necessary repairs. The bed seemed clean as did the bathroom fixtures. I won't go here again and I won't recommend it. The restaurant, on the other hand, is fine, we had a nice meal there It is directly in the center, you can park your car further away in a parking garage for €18 per night

The food was very tasty. Located in the center. The pizza is worth trying.

Good Italian cuisine, large portions, friendly service.

Simple hotel, Difficult to find as it is marked with a restaurant. Very good food.

Good and tasty Italian restaurant. Attracted by the good reviews on tripavisor, we were not disappointed. The pasta dishes we ordered not only looked good but were also very tasty. The pizzas served at other tables, too, although we can't judge their taste here. There remains a small downside: somehow, despite the right ambience, the feel-good factor didn't really resonate with us that evening. Maybe it was also due to the stressful pre-Christmas weekend that was already coming to an end and we were a little out of breath. All in all, worth recommending to anyone who wants to eat Italian food in Trier.

Visit to the restaurant for lunch. The food was good and the service staff was friendly. I can't judge the rest - the hotel and the rooms. Therefore only give general stars.

Very tasty pizza and friendly staff.

Food is amazing! Nice Ambiente. Service seems a little bit irritated when you are not a hotel guest and don’t have a reservation for 2 for lunch (during the week) - then they seat you in the tight corner even though all tables are free and remain free. Some waiters are just this way! That’s how you lose your tip.

Incredible restaurant place, the best you could eat in Trier, authentic Italian pizzas and pastas, everything in order. Good service and very friendly and experienced people

Stepping into Frankenturm in Trier, you expect the usual Italian eatery experience, but here’s where it takes an interesting twist—more on that in a bit. I came here with high hopes, and I must say, the place did not disappoint, scoring a solid 4 out of 5 in my book. Let's dive into the pizza first because it truly deserves the spotlight. The pizza at Frankenturm was a culinary delight. Perfectly baked, with a crust that achieved that elusive balance between crispy and chewy, topped with fresh, vibrant toppings that sang with flavor. Each slice was a testament to how keeping things simple but using quality ingredients can lead to greatness. It was the kind of pizza that you’d crave even after you've left the restaurant. Now, about the pricing—it was spot on. In today’s world where dining out can often feel like a luxury, Frankenturm offers a breath of fresh air. Fair prices for delicious food mean you can treat yourself to a pizza night without any accompanying wallet guilt. However, every rose has its thorn, and at Frankenturm, it was the surprising absence of complimentary bread before or during the meal—a rarity in Italian dining. Bread at an Italian table is almost a given, a warm welcome while you peruse the menu or wait for your dish. Its absence was felt, like missing a handshake when you meet someone. It was one of those moments that had me scratching my head, wondering if the waiter had perhaps forgotten, but no, it seems to be the norm here. Service-wise, the staff were attentive. Their promptness and approachable demeanor added a nice touch to the evening, ensuring that the bread situation was but a minor hiccup in an otherwise lovely dining experience. In conclusion, Frankenturm in Trier is a charming spot that I’d recommend to anyone with a serious pizza craving. It’s a place that marries good food with good value, set in a cozy atmosphere that welcomes you warmly—just don’t expect the traditional bread basket. Come for the pizza, stay for the vibes, and you’ll leave happy, planning your next visit.

Cozy atmosphere, delicious pizza, friendly service, normal prices Worth a recommendation 👍🏻

Real Italian in the middle of Trier, nice service, delicious pizza.

We came here based on a recommendation and were not disappointed. Mega pizza. Top service.

Nice location and you can enjoy delicious food, friendly staff and they are very quick in taking orders, you don't have to wait long for your food. I would like to come here more often to eat. Top restaurant

There were seven of us here. 1 minute from the main market. I am sooooo excited about the food, ambience and service!!!! We were served so friendly and competently. Then the food came...soooo delicious!!! The best antipasti, bruscuetta, pizza, homemade ravioli I have ever eaten (I tried everyone, I had the homemade ravioli with porcini mushrooms myself) The Pino Grigio and the Grappa...soooo good. We'll be back, I recommend this enjoyable experience to everyone Thank you so much!!!😃😋

Nice, attentive service, very good, tasty and large pizza.

Very friendly staff, the food was very tasty and I can only recommend it.

The service is top and the food is very tasty Highly recommended! My uncle Alban was there to visit and recommends it

The food was sensationally good. We had the stone oven pizza and it was perfectly prepared, and the salads were also crisp and tasty. The service is very courteous and friendly. Very familiar! We felt good.

Very tasty pizza, prepared very quickly. And very child-friendly, both the staff and the pizza makers in the open kitchen.

Food was delicious and staff friendly. I would go there again.

The pizzas were the best we had eaten in a long time! For the size of the pizzas (they go over the edge) the prices are more than reasonable! The service was very attentive!

Food and service were very good, staff were very friendly and helpful. I can't rate the rooms, we only ate.

We ate at the Frankenturm restaurant several times ago and were always satisfied. Last week we wanted to test it again and were unfortunately very disappointed... The food came after just 5 minutes and didn't convince us at all in terms of taste. We had pasta 3 times, two with pesto and one with gorgonzola sauce. The pesto noodles had very little flavor and there was way too much oil in the dish. The Gorgonzola noodles were okay but very mild and not really like Gorgonzola sauce. We wouldn't eat there again... We didn't really find the price performance appropriate either.

The staff were very nice, as was the food and it came quickly. The pizza was even outside the box and it wasn't expensive either.

Delicious food, perfect service! We thought it was great!

Very good pizzas, fast service in a warm place.

All dishes were very tasty. Friendly staff. Prices reasonable. Highly recommended 👍

Friendly staff even though they speak almost neither English nor French. But they are understanding Fantastic food and atmosphere

Absolutely delicious, large, fresh, delicious pizza in a lovely atmosphere. Great!!!😊

Very tasty pizza, quick and friendly service. Gladly again.

Food very tasty But the pizza is just too expensive at 14.90

Attentive staff. Eating schnitzel with mushroom cream sauce is a poem. A little more seasoning and herbs would also make pasta dishes really tasty. But that's also a matter of taste. You can definitely do it.

Very friendly service and the food was super tasty. Very good value for money, absolutely recommended

It can get very loud at night and in the morning

Food from the kitchen was amazing, and there is a primivito on the menu for the house wine. The rooms were wonderful as well, loved the left over balcony where it still has the original wording on the walls attached. Room was very cozy and a taste of the local history..

Pizza very good Oil spicy, could be a little spicier

Centrally located hotel with normally furnished rooms. A very tasty Italian restaurant right in the house. Delicious food, good service, we'd love to come back again when we're in Trier.

Had very good lasagne and pizza. The atmosphere is very cozy and the waiters will always take care of your concerns.

About the restaurant: tasty, large pizzas at an adequate price. Pizza - Specialle.

Super friendly and delicious food.

Very tasty food and the service was very attentive. The pizza tastes great there!

Good pizza, otherwise typically German!

I think it's the best pizza in town. Super friendly waitresses. We'd love to come back.

Very good pizza for a fair price. Attentive service and nice ambience. Recommended in every respect

Friendly service and very tasty cuisine

Rude. I was told they were closed when they were obviously open and had plenty of tables. Maybe they don’t like parties of one.

Review just about the restaurant:The food was delicious, the team correct and friendly and the atmosphere cosy. Will go there again.
