Authentic Italy in the heart of Hamburg – a real insider tip! La Pasta da Franco is a little gem for anyone who loves fresh, homemade pasta and genuine Italian hospitality – warm, welcoming, and homely. The menu is straightforward – and the quality speaks for itself. The pasta is homemade, perfectly al dente, and served with authentic sauces.

In conclusion: Anyone who loves Italian cuisine should definitely try La Pasta da Franco. In my opinion, it's one of the best pasta restaurants in Hamburg – absolutely deserved 5 stars!

I was really hungry, and the portion was just right for me. Great value for money. I don't know when I last ate such good pasta for under 10 euros.

Great value for money. Serves one person. But my husband and I eat well. Simple and inexpensive.

Good pasta for €10 The value for money is really great. When I'm back in Hamburg, I'll definitely stop by again 👍

Perfect for a quick lunch. Prompt service and quick food that's even hot! Another recommendation: Spaghetti a la Dennis 🤤🤤🤤

Best pasta in Hamburg, I've been there at least 25 times -- simply amazing!!!

Excellent value for money with an interesting concept. Definitely something different than the classic döner kebab. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolutely recommendable Italian restaurant! The value for money is perfect – fair prices with excellent quality. The service is excellent, warm, funny, and very personal. You immediately feel welcome and in good hands. We'll be back again and again!

You get yelled at, but the noodles are nice👌🏻

Quick pasta. Everything's fine. Large portions.

The penne with salmon was delicious and the portion was large 👍😋!

The staff is very friendly and always helpful. I like to eat my pasta here with lots of Parmesan. The portions are generous and filling.

Super delicious and with flair! :)

My local for a long time. Best pasta and espresso in Hamburg.

Incredibly nice and friendly people behind the counter 🫶 The food is fresh and reasonably priced 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The food is really good for the price. The employees are always happy and energetic the pasta itself is really good for the price especially the portion size is great. I would like a bit more options but definitely one of my favourites !

Highly recommended. Excellent value for money. Super tasty and a huge portion. Very cheerful staff.

The food was excellent! The portions were filling! Highly recommended! Keep it up 👍

Franco is simply fantastic! The food is always fresh and incredibly delicious.

The pasta was al dente, but what's even better is the performance and the music... unbeatable... high blast... always happy to come back...

Very friendly staff and very tasty spaghetti

Really good portion of pasta with a really good taste. I would go there again for sure.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delicious pasta and a great atmosphere! I was absolutely thrilled! The pasta was fresh and truly delicious – you can simply taste the quality. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and you immediately felt welcome. This place is definitely good value for money, especially in such a great location near the town hall. I can only recommend it – I'd love to come back!

Super delicious pasta with two toppings and a choice of sauce. Large portions and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Disappointing Experience – Would Not Recommend My visit to Pasta da Franco was unfortunately very disappointing. The ambiance is deliberately loud—an apparent attempt to mimic the lively nature of Italian dining—but it comes across more as chaotic and disrespectful. Shouting across the restaurant doesn't create a welcoming or enjoyable atmosphere; instead, it disrupts what should be a pleasant meal. The food was equally underwhelming. Ingredients seemed processed and lacked freshness—particularly noticeable in the chicken on display, which looked unappetising and industrial. Perhaps most concerning was the lack of basic customer communication. In a city as international as Hamburg, and in a service as global as dining, the staff’s inability to communicate effectively in English is baffling. For a restaurant catering to both locals and tourists, this level of unpreparedness is unacceptable. Sadly, this experience left much to be desired, and I would not recommend it.

Great food, great taste, quick and cheap, simple but authentic, especially the staff including the chef Franco himself.

If you're in Hamburg and craving freshly prepared pasta, you should head to "La Pasta" da Franco in the Schlemmerpassage opposite the town hall. For 10 euros, you get really good quality and a large portion. My portion of penne with shrimp included a whopping 7 king prawns... Unbeatable value for money. Highly recommended.

Very tasty and really nice staff

Great pasta with different sauces are offered here. Nice staff We would be happy to come back

It doesn't taste at all and it's super unfriendly!

Delicious. Price: Top performance.

Super tasty noodles for a fair price

Great value for money 👍 Only recommended.

At a good price, really tasty in the middle of the city. The ambience deduction is due to the building rather than being influenced by the Italian snack restaurant, hence the deduction. Whenever I'm in Hamburg, I like to come by

Totally delicious pasta for under €10. The portion is so big that it can easily feed two people

Good pasta for little money. Pasta cooks quickly. Portions are very large. At lunchtime it is very hectic, loud and confused here. You can either choose suggested pasta variants or put together your own pasta with two ingredients and a selected sauce. There are two types of pasta to choose from. The carbonara may be with cream. You definitely had to season it. The employees are very friendly. Everything very quickly. Totally okay for the price

Sat there for a long time with no service. Afterwards left. Way too expensive.

Simply great, good Italian. Pasta and quick

Fast, friendly, tasty, fair prices. Always my pleasure

Completely satisfied! Very, very tasty pasta & great staff!

Very fun team 😂🥰Incredibly delicious goulash noodles!! From now on my favorite when I'm in the area and I'm craving the world's best noodles again! Grace 🙏

A good selection of freshly prepared pasta for €9.90 with a really decent portion. Plus draft beer and a few good wines. Super friendly and quick service. The furniture is a bit old and some of it is clearly visibly damaged, but it's still a really nice place to sit at the counter in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the passage.

There is better pasta nowhere in Hamburg. The price is very good, the portions are good and the staff is friendly. Simply great!

I'm amazed, the best pasta shop in Hamburg. The value for money of this store is incredible. I don't understand how in 2025 you can still sell so much pasta for such a fair price of €10.99. Theoretically, one portion is enough for two people and the pasta tastes great. You can't go wrong if you're in town and try the store. The shop is incredibly charismatic and welcoming. The atmosphere is always good and the service makes you feel really familiar. You can see the passion and passion with which the restaurant is run and the concept behind it. unique. I can only recommend it. I give it a solid 11/10.

Good noodles at a fair price. They were a little too salty for me. The service is nice but stressful - loud, rushed and easily confused. The ambience is suitable for lunch.

Food tasted good average. I ordered with bacon and mushrooms. It came only with bacon. The portions are good. The service is friendly and distant. All in all, value for money is right. OK for a quick meal

Super delicious pasta! I always let myself be surprised and put together the pasta. The atmosphere is loud and restless due to the location. But that's how it is in food courts. Since I always take it with me, it doesn't matter to me. Franco and the entire team are super friendly and of course they exude their Italian charm. Always happy to come!

Very tasty pasta eaten with goulash. Staff very friendly. Ambience not nice, as many restaurants are housed in one building right next to each other.

More is simply not possible. Great selection of pasta. You can put everything together. Not a long wait, great service and cheap.

Great food. Super fresh. Great staff. Whenever we are in Hamburg we have to go there

Great team + service! Very, very busy and popular at lunchtime but also very, very loud! Good portions...good value for money

Tasty pasta, quick food. Recommended 👍🏻

No coffee to take away. Welcome to the Stone Age. And then I said it so unkindly. Ciaaaaaooo 😊😊😊

I ordered a paste and a pizza from a very nice restaurant. It was very tasty. I have to say it was also good. The lingerie was good and the ones they offered were also very good. This restaurant can only be recommended, but be careful, you have to register at the beginning otherwise I will not accepted or meant to be

Nice staff, very tasty. Was great!

Discovered by chance yesterday. Really great and the whole staff was super nice.

Absolutely great. Top quality at a great price. Draft beer and great wine. Great, always friendly staff with an exciting atmosphere. A place to linger and let yourself drift, but also when things have to be quick and good. Always happy to come here. Many thanks to the team and the boss.

Always a good atmosphere and delicious pasta!

Very clean local and delicious cuisine really, friendly staff reception.

The best linguine I've ever eaten! From ordering to serving the food, very, very nice people! Thank you for a piece of Italia in Hamburg

Very, very tasty. Perhaps the best pasta in Hamburg.

I went to eat spaghetti, the portions of food are large. But for each additional supplement, you need to pay 2₴ extra. A lot of sauce, but for example tuna or ham, two or three parts. At the Thai cafe, delicious spaghetti, more meat, vegetables.

Fast, tasty, fresh - we were there twice in 3 days in Hamburg. Employees are always nice and friendly, pasta is super fresh, free parmesan on request. Portions were large, we had no complaints. Big recommendation

I have known Franco since 2008, when he opened the small bistro. Then as now, the best price-performance ratio in downtown Hamburg. Probably even beyond that. I worked in downtown Hamburg from 2008 to 2016 and ate there regularly. After that I moved to London and I haven't found an honest plate of pasta like Franco's there in 3 years. Then I worked in Hamburg again and Franco's pasta was still just as good. I've been working in Frankfurt for a year now and there isn't a bistro like that there either. I've been coming here for over 14 years. I've aged now, but Franco's pasta hasn't. 😊 Insider tip, pasta with goulash or pasta agli e olio with scampi 🥹 I wish everyone who has read this to the end bon appetit And I wish my friend Franco and his team many more good years. ❤️

Top! Absolute recommendation. Fresh pasta. Freshly prepared. Delicious. Friendly staff.

La Pasta da Franco is simply great!!! The food is mega!!! I don't have to say more.

Always great! You can put everything together yourself.

There are better Italian restaurants in Hamburg

The food was delicious and we got to play the DJ😂♥️

Best pasta I've eaten in 40 years!!!

Best pasta and nicest staff ever! Whenever I have the chance to come to Hamburg, I eat here!

Typical Italian! Classic Italian cuisine, price performance is right here. The only thing that is annoying is the volume here and the lack of space. But good portions at fair prices!

We ate very well. The price is okay. Can be recommended with a clear conscience.

Very tasty noodles. Large selection and everything fresh

Very tasty for reasonable money 😊😊

Super fast service, and large tasty portions.

Check out the man with the red hat, always in a good mood 😀

Quick pasta for a good price-performance ratio. The service staff are super nice and you can choose anything from the counter. Of course there are also traditional classics, but you can also get creative.

La Pasta da Franco is somewhat hidden. I was slightly overwhelmed by the whole selection, but the chef recognized this, spoke to me directly and explained how I could put together my pasta. I chose pasta with green pesto, crayfish and sun-dried tomatoes. On top there was grated cheese. It was very tasty.

He is always very friendly, the food is very good and moderately priced

If you want to eat quickly during your lunch break in Hamburg, you can stop by Franco who will serve you strictly in less than 5 minutes. They don't accept debit cards or cards, only cash, which is quite limiting especially considering that you are in Germany. I don't recommend any dish in particular, you stop here to eat a plate of pasta quickly and without praise.

Nice pasta for a reasonable price , loving the cheese machine !

Gets a Garfield approval from us. Sauce and ingredients freshly mixed as desired, price absolutely great for the city center.

Excellent food, well served dishes and affordable prices. I highly recommend it.

1000/10 The food is super delicious and the staff is super nice. Come there at least once every week. 😋

Very good pasta with great service and very friendly...

My God, why did we only discover the Italian on the last day? La Pasta da Franco is well hidden in the Schlemmermarkt. Just to understand, the Schlemmermarkt is a market hall that houses various food shops. Including La Pasta da Franco. La Pasta da Franco is a real crowd puller. At no other stand were there as many people queuing as there. Please note our creed: Where there are a lot of people standing in line or sitting, the food is very good. That was clearly the case there. First we sneaked around the seats to see what they had on their plates and what the food looked like. We couldn't resist and were now spoiled for choice. What should it be now? You can choose two ingredients and a sauce from the counter. Among other things, you can choose: Salmon, shrimp, crayfish, Italian goulash, etc. + tomato sauce, cream sauce, tomato sauce, etc. Our food was freshly prepared and tasted very, very tasty. The price of 9.99 euros is justified. Please keep in mind that La Pasta da Franco is not a typical restaurant, it is in a covered market. So is the ambience. But the most important thing is that the food tastes good!!! grace Forca Italy!

Simply great dynamics, nice people and good food at a fair price! Regular guest guarantee

You can get full well. Unfortunately it is very loud there. Conclusion - quick food for a reasonable price

This is a Hamburg lunch place. Lots of people come there to take their pasta or eat it there. It is good! Choose the type of pasta and then a sauce and 2 Extras. We come here often and appreciate they cool for us

Would definitely be my go-to shop after a stressful & tiring day. The staff is contagious with a good mood and good music, the food is delicious and the price is right too. We (from Hanover) would like to come back again.

I had dinner there with my daughter on July 22nd. It was really tasty 😋 😋 and very cheap. The portions are very huge, one plate is enough for two people.

I love the pasta 🍝 super friendly service!

Best pasta in Hamburg! Always good vibes

I managed to do this much better and cheaper in my student apartment.

Food very tasty 🥰. Service very nice 😊. Ambience too loud.

The noodles are super tasty and the staff is really friendly, I can totally recommend this shop, I always enjoy eating there. The tomato sauce is also vegan and highly recommended!

5 stars for entertainment alone, great location and great pasta...
