El Sol in Bad Nauheim

It's unbelievable how much seafood was in the Spaghetti Frutti di Mare!

We went out to dinner with our cycling friends today. We were all very satisfied and would gladly come back.

The food is fantastic! We haven't even eaten this well in Italy! We drive the extra 50 km to El Sol because no restaurant in the area serves food that's even half as good. Meat, fish, pasta—delicious!

Very tasty pasta. Courteous staff. Lovely evening.

The best restaurant I love it 😍😍😍💯✅🫶 Thank you very much

I was completely thrilled with the restaurant! 🍽️ The food was outstanding – fresh, flavorful, and lovingly prepared. The ambiance is also simply fantastic, beautifully designed, and inviting. I would especially like to highlight the service: extremely friendly, attentive, and courteous. The prices are absolutely reasonable and perfectly match the overall package. In conclusion: A highly recommended restaurant that I would happily return to anytime!

Pascale and Mario and the El Sol team (some of them family) are an Italian "home" for Bad Nauheim gourmets. Parking is available across the street in the parking garage or car park. There are spaces inside or in two beautiful marquees. It begins with appreciation, warmth, and familiarity. Service is a tough job, but this crew conveys a sense of ease, and if there are any problems, they discuss them openly. Here, they still offer free bruschetta, bread, and sauce at the beginning. It's not about free, but about hospitality. In other Italian restaurants, this has decreased in the beginning. We have been there many times, including on New Year's Eve, and I can say that the food has been of the highest quality in Bad Nauheim for many years. Today it was monkfish, firm like prawns, a taste highlight for monkfish. What can I say, heart and gourmet food always go together here. And an insider tip is the Berta at the end, if it was a special day.

The restaurant and its staff were well-organized; it was a pleasure to see how well everything went. The food was exceptionally good; we enjoyed it. We sat on the terrace and were lucky with the weather. With the candles, it was also very romantic.

We ordered antipasti platters for 15 people from El Sol for our celebration – and it was a complete success! The selection was incredibly diverse, everything freshly prepared and presented with great attention to detail. The flavors were varied and high-quality – from hearty to sophisticated, there was something for everyone. Our guests were absolutely thrilled, and it was lovely to see how happy everyone was with their food. Many thanks to the entire team at El Sol – we're already looking forward to visiting in person again! Best wishes, Carmen & Frank

Great food, service a bit slow, and tables are tightly packed. The restaurant is located between two car dealerships and feels like it once belonged to one.

I highly recommend El Sol. The staff are quick and courteous. The tables are beautifully set, and they even provide cloth napkins. And everyone (there were eight of us) enjoyed the food.

Yes, I can eat good food and it's very friendly. Unfortunately, they only accept cash payments, which I don't think is so great these days.

Excellent cuisine, impeccable service, a little piece of Italy right in the middle of a car dealership. The crew is happy to accommodate special requests. There's no such thing as "can't do"! To quote the chef: Perfect 👍👍

The pizza was delicious, and the service was good too. Unfortunately, the location isn't ideal—it's a bit noisy outside. A green wall or something similar could be built here. The menu has plenty of delicious options, so I'd gladly come back.

Yes, varied, friendly service, and good food. One small caveat, as with almost all Italian restaurants, is that the side salad could be a bit more imaginative in terms of its ingredients and sauces (e.g., cress, nuts, sesame, radishes, roasted pine nuts, etc.). Otherwise, everything was very good.

Top-notch service, I haven't experienced anything like it in ages. Incredibly attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and plentiful. Glancing at the neighboring tables, you'll be tempted to try the menu. It's worth noting that you can only pay in cash. It's not a problem in principle, but for people who never carry cash, it's a bit silly. But everything can be arranged. If you're looking for a good Italian restaurant with Spanish influences and top-notch service, this is the place for you.

Great restaurant with super friendly service and delicious food!

El Sol is known for its excellent and friendly service. The chef treats his guests like good friends. The food is delicious and, in my experience, authentic Italian. The restaurant is located on the premises of an Audi dealership, but this is by no means a distraction; in fact, it's a delight for car enthusiasts.

The food was okay, but nothing special. Staff were completely overwhelmed and rude. I/we wanted to pay and were sent from the table inside to pay, then back to the table, and then back inside again. When I got fed up, an employee started rudely yelling at me. Not recommended.

Delicious pizza, pinsa, pasta, salad... you name it, everything was great! And served by friendly and attentive staff. We were there for lunch with 20 people, and everyone was served their dishes more or less at the same time, which was perfect! Of course, given the number of people, we had made reservations well in advance.

It could have been so nice... a friendly greeting, Italian flair, delicious fresh pizza rolls with dip on the table, then at some point a greeting from the kitchen (Bruchetta) and very quickly the delicious and plentiful food with Italian commentary... bella Italia... Grazie El Sol. Up to this point, well-deserved 5 stars in every area, but then... as an employee of the drinks industry (who hears daily about declining sales in the restaurant industry), my heart bled so much that after we had sat for 40 (!!) minutes with two empty glasses and had had enough of trying to contact the service staff in vain, I went to the bar to pay. The ignorance of us during those 40 minutes could of course be explained by the fact that we were first-time visitors and not regulars. During this time, the regular customers were looked after and well catered for with the Italian flair described at the beginning. We would have liked to have had another drink, but... a shame and a bad taste in the mouth remains.

Very tasty food and great fresh cuisine. Excellent service and a lovely ambiance.

My absolute favorite Italian/Spanish restaurant for many years. Great dishes, subtly seasoned, and very attractively presented at absolutely fair prices. The daily menu is seasonal; I've never been disappointed. Whether it's meat, fish, pasta, or pizza, a visit to El Sol is a culinary vacation. Pasquale is a restaurateur par excellence, and the staff is always on the ball, but never intrusive. I look forward to many more visits to El Sol!

The four of us had a great meal and a great drink here. Luckily, we had reserved a table.

I wanted to get a pizza with a friend and then noticed that payment was only possible in cash. I didn't have any cash but my girlfriend did. My friend ordered a pizza. After my friend got it, the waitress said “I wish you bon appetit”. She waited a moment, looked at me and said “don’t bother” and left. I found that quite rude and inappropriate. That’s not how you get new customers!

Very nice staff with great service and the right atmosphere!!

Very nice and welcoming place, fresh food of excellent quality, dishes well served and well looked after, fast and precise service, excellent welcome from the owner and all the staff, they make you feel at home, I recommend it 100%, coming back every time is always a pleasure.

Very good service and delicious food

Another restaurant with love and a lot of holiday feeling, the food was so well prepared and tasted excellent, the service was terrific, attentive and very endearing. We felt 100% comfortable. ❤️🍀 Grazie Mille, è stateto meraviglioso, the cibo era perfecto ci siamo sentiti molto a nostro agio.👌🫶

Bella Italia in Bad Nauheim!! Grandissimo!! La cuccina is a stunner! The owners, the chef and the staff, unusual! You would have to invent such symbioses - if you hadn't found them. GRAZIE A LEI!! Saluti ❤️ 🫶 ♥️

I was there twice this week. Once alone in the evening and once at lunchtime with my wife. What can I say? That week in the evening I was so excited that my wife wanted to go there with me on Saturday alone to talk about it. I'm in Bad Nauheim for rehab and my wife visited me. The food here is really very good and also the price/performance ratio. Aaabut the controls should be slowed down a bit. By that I mean the petite blonde woman. If you ask beforehand what the difference is between pizza and pinsa and you choose the pizza several times, you should be able to serve a pizza. Especially since the restaurant was pretty empty at lunchtime. And if the guest kindly chooses the wrong dish anyway, you should at least call up the price of the dish you ordered and not the price of the wrong dish. Unfortunately, the lady completely screwed up here and then more or less ignored us. We remained friendly and when I later told my wife that the Pinsa was €3 more expensive, she was really annoyed. She won't want to go there anymore. I, on the other hand, had to deal with a very nice gentleman during the week who served me perfectly. It can be so different.

I can recommend this restaurant 100%. We have been to this restaurant several times. Most recently I was there with my wife - a very nice evening!! We work here with a lot of heart and passion. Great atmosphere, great service, nice service and a cool boss! 🇮🇹🤝🔥👍

We were there with a larger group. Before Srvice there was a small bite to eat as a “starter”. The pizzas are large, the spaghetti was unfortunately quite al dente...the salad was good. Paid 21 euros for 2 cokes and an Italian salad with a tip

I wanted to eat three dishes and since it would be too much, the service offered me a menu. I found it very good. So I was able to eat three different dishes. The mussels were the best I've ever eaten. The grilled squid was nicely grilled and not heavily seasoned, so you get the flavor of the squid. But you can season with good salt and pepper. The rump steak was as I ordered it. Medium rare. Seasoned with good pepper and salt, served with nice crunchy vegetables and fried potatoes. At the end there was a very tasty espresso. The service was friendly and accommodating. If I have the chance, I will come here again and again.

Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Food was great Highly recommended

Delicious! Thanks for the lovely evening, we had fish! Super! Very accommodating and warm staff :)

Eating so-so. There are much better restaurants in terms of price/performance... I advise against the fish platter. For over 30€ a piece of salmon, 1 prawn and a mini fillet of sea bream!!!

As always, very good food and great service!!

Best and tastiest restaurant in Bad Nauheim…Would only recommend it

We were guests in this restaurant for the first time today. The first impression was not misleading. Super nice atmosphere with great furniture. The waitresses were always very friendly, polite and accommodating. You can tell that the employees put their hearts into it! As soon as we arrived at the table we received a small greeting from the kitchen. By then it was over. The main courses were to die for. Super nicely prepared. Everything is absolutely freshly prepared. A true taste experience for the palate and soul! The waitress always had a smile on her face and took the time to say a few nice words despite the increasing crowds. You felt safe as a family. The long journey was more than worth it. We are already looking forward to the next time! 🫶🏻

Yesterday I ate at El Sol for the second time and it was so wonderful 👌😃😍 the lovely Befienungen really work with heart and passion and managed to give me a little short break from stressful everyday life, thank you so much for that ☺️🙏 everyone They are so attentive and super nice. The food is great! Sooo so delicious 😋. Every special wish was happily fulfilled. The ambience is beautiful and the atmosphere is really great. I will eat here very often from now on and can absolutely recommend this wonderful restaurant!!! 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and really thank you for the incredibly great service 👍🏻

I was there for the first time with my girlfriend and we were very happy with the food and the service and can only recommend it

Very tasty food Update 2022: still very good food and nice ambience!

I have rarely experienced such an unpleasant experience in a restaurant. I wonder how it is possible for a restaurateur to employ such an abusive waiter for all these years. You are literally being undressed with your eyes, and as if that wasn't unpleasant enough, you are also touched, which is absolutely cross-border. I've heard about it from other women too. I've always gone back there for family celebrations, but last time my family and I were given dirty looks by the waiters and even the owner because we dared to eat our pizza with cutlery. You are welcome to think what you want about it, but it is completely unprofessional to let the guests feel your dislike of this kind. I have never experienced such outrageous and unfriendly behavior and decided that day never to set foot there again, even the beautiful atmosphere doesn't help.

For me it has been one of the best restaurants in Bad Nauheim for years

Went there yesterday with friends for the New Year's Eve menu and were really impressed by the quality of the food 🤩. The team there is great and the atmosphere is Mediterranean. I'll probably eat there more often now 🥰 Grazie mille🙏 for a wonderful evening with you 🫶🏻🥂 and Happy New Year 🎊

Four of us had dinner here a few days ago. The appetizer platter had absolutely nothing to do with the one you see in the pictures here in one of the Google reviews. When asked what the platter contained, the slow answer was: grilled vegetables, fish and frutti di mare. A plate of leftovers arrived with sliced ​​squid, a slice of ham, tomatoes, mozzarella and some vegetables; a few slices of parmesan, but above all lettuce (of course, it's cheap). Nothing with shrimp or other fish. There was no taste. The service was strange - nonsensical conversations forced upon you, probably to be funny and increase the tip. But that was no longer the case when the waiter threw the bill on the table and quickly left. We were then allowed to calculate for ourselves what each couple had to pay. Apparently the restaurant industry isn't doing so badly that you can still deal with paying customers like this. It's a shame - there won't be a repeat! I don't understand why the restaurant chooses to use Spanish - just because there are 5 tapas on the menu, that's it for Spanish.

Super tasty Incredibly friendly staff and the price is great for the quality

It's a Spanish/Italian restaurant. The food is delicious and they have many options, including kinds. The greeting is very friendly and culture like, the service was rich in attention to detail and fast. Overall I have to say that I can recommend this 100%!

As always.....fantastic ambience, super good fresh food, beautifully prepared and an extremely warm, competent team.

Recommended for a short trip. Unfortunately it wasn't as expected. Italian tapas maker. Well had a fish platter. She lifted our duvet into the air that same evening. In the end, the free grappa probably couldn't clean up anymore. Shrimp were still raw. Who knows what else was wrong...

Very tasty food with excellent value for money and extremely friendly service. Unrestricted recommendation!

Attentive and friendly staff. Good value for money and tasty food. Go and try it 😄

Was great. Tastes very good. The service is excellent.

Very good lunch. The fish dishes are particularly noteworthy. They are also expressi top class. Only the tables for two are far too small for people.

We celebrated my birthday. I was celebrated really well by the staff. It was a vacation in Italy. I can highly recommend the Ei Sol.

We were in this restaurant for the first time yesterday. Luckily we had a reservation because it was filled to capacity. There were pizza rolls with dip and 4 bruschettas as a greeting from the kitchen. The main course was salami pizza (incredibly cheap and super tasty, for €8) and salad. Dessert was tartufo and tiramisu (both also very tasty). By the way, it was also great to see how all the fish were filleted at the counter for the neighboring tables so that they could then be reserved. It all just looked very appetizing. Despite being busy, the service was very attentive, really fast and, above all, super nice. Great ambience and a great price-performance ratio. When we said goodbye, there were even chocolate Santa Clauses for my children. Thank you for this great evening.

It's a pleasure to eat here. You get royal service, the staff are very attentive. You get a wonderful explanation and recommendation based on your own wishes. All in all, a successful romantic dinner. The only drawback is the location. The location next to a car dealer (car dealership) and at the same time on the main street isn't exactly the nicest, but it's fine in the dark at night.

Super tasty and very friendly. A little more expensive, but in my opinion the price-performance ratio is right here.

Top service, very good polite service, was there several times, the service was first class, the food was always fresh and very tasty 😋

The ambience is noble and secret at the same time. The welcome, farewell and service were excellent. The food we had was super tasty 😋. As a greeting from the house: pizza rolls with garlic dip and 1 bruschetta for each. Afterwards we had: Tortelloni with pumpkin ricotta and porcini mushrooms. mussels, Saltimboca with potatoes + vegetables, tortellini ala pana

My girlfriend and I visited ElSol for the first time today. It was a really nice evening. We were immediately served attentively and in a friendly manner. The food was also really good...salads are recommended, as well as tapas and pasta. We would be happy to come back. Unfortunately, for such a large, busy restaurant there is only one toilet available for men and women...you often end up waiting in front of it.

Very good food and very friendly service, I can only recommend it.

You can eat really good fish there. Great service

Tasty food, good selection of wines and aperitifs

The food is always delicious and the owner is always friendly. Thank you .

Very good and well-kept food. Very good and friendly service.

The restaurant is always worth a visit! The food is simply top! Rarely have such good and authentic Italian food been eaten. I always like to come back!

I would prefer not to give a star at all...Simply discriminatory and impossible behavior from the hospitality. This shouldn't happen again in 2022. It all started with the fact that the corona proof wasn't even checked. I was at a birthday party. The waiter first commented that they should have said a certain name when making the reservation so that they could get a better seat. It continued with the next saying when it became clear that I don't eat meat or animal products. I didn't want to make a big deal about it. The birthday child should be the focus and not just any diet. Zack the waiter comes with the next saying to the friend next to me. He was supposed to give me the rose so I could have something to eat…haha funny never heard of that. Unfortunately, after he didn't offer me an alternative to eat, he started getting insulting and said I should eat something real so I wouldn't be so pale. And then came the upper hammer. He asked me if I couldn't or didn't want to eat it. I said that it didn't matter and that I didn't want to discuss why I eat what I eat and how I eat it. Then he said he had to compare it with the situation in Ukraine. The people there would eat anything they could get. This comparison is just totally wrong and impossible. I wanted to get up and leave, but for the sake of my girlfriend I didn't. That's not how you treat people. This isn't fun anymore.

Today was the first time here in this restaurant 😀👍. Simply delicious and the service was very friendly and accommodating. We would love to come back 🤞😀

Very good service, very good food, I really enjoy going there!

Great food and very friendly service. Can only be recommended.

Very nice restaurant and friendly staff 😀

It really used to be better. The quality has deteriorated a lot.

I was here for the first time today. I ordered a pasta with truffles and beef fillet tips. My family had, among other things, veal schnitzel and the pasta with clams and the sardines. My pasta was ok. It wasn't as good as I've had in other restaurants. However, the other dishes were very tasty. The starter plate with bruschetta, chorizo, carpaccio and eggplant was also excellent. The food came relatively quickly and the espresso macchiato after the meal was also very tasty. The service was very good, the waiters were attentive and typically Italian, just wonderful. I would definitely come here again.

Hadn't booked a table, but still weren't sent away. Food delicious, service good, everything was great. Prices not excessive, appropriate!

That something like this still exists...everything is right here! 👌 Food was super tasty and prices were normal. Staff nice and very friendly. Great!!!!

great service, delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere. We were very satisfied and can definitely recommend the restaurant

We feel very comfortable at El Sol. We were impressed by both the lunch and dinner menus and the service was on point.

Very tasty and very friendly. Still the same and still incredibly fast.

Was there for the first time. Everything was perfect! Food (tortellini alla panna) was the best I've eaten in years. The atmosphere and the staff are simply great, you immediately feel like you're in a big family. Always my pleasure!

Nice restaurant, delicious food.

We had Italian salad and various tapas, along with an excellent Lugana. You can taste and enjoy the south! We can recommend it with a clear conscience. We'll be back 😊

Friendly, helpful staff. Delicious appetizers, very good dishes (e.g. rich and filling fish soup or steak in gorgonzola sauce).

Very nice restaurant with a large selection of dishes. Everyone will find something here. Price/performance ratio top. You can sit outside very nicely. Service very friendly and quick. We recommend. Best with reservation.

Service, restaurant and location is great! Very accommodating with an aperitif. The food is also very good, although not perfect.

Very tasty food, friendly service staff and a very nice and cozy atmosphere.

We were very satisfied. Food was good, service too, would love to come back

I went to El Sol for dinner with some friends. Unfortunately we didn't like the pizza that much. The cheese has a peculiar taste. It was probably not pure mozzarella but a mixture. The menu also says mozzarella and cheese, but I only noticed that afterwards when I looked at the menu. A waiter also noticed us unpleasantly. He was very friendly but had a pretty bad rash on his hands, which in my opinion doesn't belong in the catering industry. We found it very unappetizing, especially since you automatically look at your hands when the food is served. Psoriasis doesn't belong in the restaurant. At least not in the service. I don't want to comment on the other dishes because I haven't tried them. The young female waitresses were very friendly, but I didn't like that they were called by you. We are significantly older and we find it unpleasant not to be addressed as you.

Unfortunately, the Swiss national team lost to England in the penalty shootout that evening. The food was still delicious and the service was very friendly and prompt.

We really enjoyed eating in a romantic atmosphere. In the rain under umbrellas.

I've been going there every now and then for a few years now. The service is very nice and funny. There is a harmonious atmosphere. The food was very, very tasty. You always get something from the kitchen beforehand, for us this time it was bruschetta. There is very good wine and very tasty desserts. I will certainly go again.

Everything great!!! Thank you El Sol!

The restaurant and its food are great.

Great service with very nice waiters. Unfortunately, the food was rather mediocre, the pizza was overloaded with cheese and rather watery. You sit outside next to a large parking lot.

Very tasty food, nice service, we'll be back

Excellent cuisine!! Service excellent!!! Best Italian cuisine in bad-nauheim!!!! Very friendly staff! Reservations recommended...

Mama mia 👌👌👌, what a great restaurant! Went to a celebration at El Sol yesterday and everything was really perfect 💯. The menu selection for over 30 people was delicious, cooked to perfection and served at the same time, even though there were still many guests on the terrace. Hats off! A look at the menu shows that good food doesn't always have to be expensive. Big praise for a super nice and top culinary evening🍕🍝🍷. Not to mention the super friendly and attentive staff 💯👍🎶! El Sol is an absolute recommendation!

Very very tasty. Culinary great cuisine and even Pinsa.

Very good food, especially the baby squid and sardines. Hammer! The location right next to the car dealership is a bit bizarre, but you forget that when you eat.
