La Sorpresa in Bad Homburg v.d.Höhe

The service was super nice, but we had a little higher expectations of the food. It was OK for our taste, but not overwhelming. Because of the very nice people there, we'll definitely stop by again at some point and try something different. Maybe we just weren't so lucky that day. :-)

The food was very tasty and the staff was also very friendly. We told you what you need to pay attention to. I ordered liver Vienna style with vegetables and profiteroles for dessert. It was great 😋The restaurant is really recommended. Always my pleasure

Service and ambience good, food tasted excellent, portions a bit small

Good Italian restaurant. Relaxed location at Luisenstrasse 126 in Bad Homburg

We always like to come back! The food is absolutely top notch. In the summer you can sit on the terrace and it is also tastefully decorated inside. The choice of food is varied and there is something for every taste. There is no pizza and that's a good thing. The tagliolini with scallops are simply incredibly good! We are really looking forward to the next visit.

Super tasty, great service, deliciously prepared food... Again and again...you are always greeted so warmly, as if you were part of the family

The food was an enrichment for the palate, spaghetti with vodka sauce. The service was very reliable. This will be a repeat.

We were served a very tasty meal in the cozy little beer garden! We ordered a starter and pasta as the main course. The boss was very attentive and even asked after the appetizer if a break was wanted. Here you can take your time as a guest. TOP. We will definitely come back to try the pizza.

Literally the best Italian I have been to out of Italy. Perfect pasta ragu and the tiramisu was sublime. Such a great host

Sehr entspannte lockere atmosphäre. Super freundliche und zuvorkommende Gastgeber. Außerhalb der Karte sehr vieles möglich.

As always, I was thrilled again. For the starter this time I had ravioli filled with asparagus, which was in keeping with the season - a poem, it tasted so fine and pleasant. For the main course today there was once again sole on the plate - this is also highly recommended. Great service, matching wine, all in all a very nice evening.

Very tasty food, friendly service. Price reasonable.

I really liked it! Great food, really delicious! Impeccable service, quick, friendly and attentive, all around perfect evening. I can only recommend

A friendly family business, with a boss who is always in a good mood, with a lot of wit and humor. Pleasant atmosphere. Very attentive staff. Extra requests were gladly accepted. Always my pleasure!

Rather inconspicuous from the outside, you will experience warm Italian hospitality inside. We had lunch here and were amazed by the genuine Italian cuisine and impeccable service. The restaurant is definitely recommended.

We are in Bad Homburg for rehab and were looking for an Italian restaurant. Luckily we found la Sorpresa. The food and service are great. Since we have Italian roots, our demands are accordingly. We weren't disappointed. Have reserved for the next visit straight away. Highly recommended for those who know how to enjoy real Italian cuisine.

Very friendly service and very tasty food.

Outstanding restaurant! THIS is good quality food, excellently prepared. It's a pleasure to be a guest with this team. No visit to Bad Homburg without La Sorpresa

It couldn't be better! Our absolute favorite Italian. Exceptionally good food, always special daily recommendations, cozy atmosphere and friendly service. Just to feel good!

Hmmmm who would have thought that there would be such delicious Italian here in Bad Homburg. Super nice service, nice decor and pleasant atmosphere. There was already free bruschetta and delicious bread with olive oil on the tables. The menu isn't very long, but it's nice and you can also eat on request. If possible, everything is done for the guest. We felt comfortable and ate well. Be sure to reserve.

Wann immer wir in Bad Homburg sind, ist das „rote Haus“ unsere erste und letzte Institution. Essen bei Giovanni MUSS sein! Wir haben schon etliche Freunde ins „La Sorpresa“ gelockt, und alle waren begeistert. Vom Essen, vom rustikal-italienischen Ambiente und der fröhlich-lustigen Stimmung, die Giovanni und sein Sohn Eugenio verbreiten. Man hat immer den Eindruck, hier fühlt sich jeder wohl. Kein Chichi, alles ehrlich, alles echt.

I've been eating here occasionally for years. It's always excellent. Nice, cozy atmosphere and friendly service.

Strong service and very good food. We like to come here - on special occasions. We were recently here for a friend's 50th birthday and felt very comfortable.

Great food, great service, nice atmosphere. Price/performance ratio is right with very good quality. The background noise was quite loud, but the restaurant can't help it if parents let their children run around unsupervised

Very good cuisine, cozy restaurant, attentive and very friendly team. We will definitely come back, highly recommended.

We absolutely love this Italian restaurant in Bad Homburg. Celebrated our wedding anniversary with our family at the place. Both the food and service crew were awesome! Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good and heartening meal! Good strong espresso to complete the meal at the end!

It had been a long time since I had been invited to dinner there again. It was exceptionally good. Food, ambience, service everything was right. A little more upscale but simply perfect. Hence the many stars. Thank you for that.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Abend und das Essen war fantastisch. Vorspeisen top, Hauptgericht top. Nachspeise top. Rose top. Was will man mehr?

The restaurant is good but not very good. If you were to tweak a few things, I would also rate La Sorpresa 5 stars.

Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt. Der Service ist aufmerksam, freundlich und zuvorkommend! Das Essen war sehr gut! Wir waren zu fünft und alle zurfrieden und glücklich. Wir kommen wieder!!!

Family-owned and run Italian, a favorite of locals for many years. Changing menu, pleasant decoration. The owner is the nicest person and always has a story to tell. Wife and son in the service team. Good homemade Italian food. Inexpensive.

Exzellentes italienisches Restaurant mit sehr freundlichen und kommunikati Personal. Die Speisen sind nicht nur sehr gut, sondern auch so, dass man satt wird. Änderungen oder auch neue Ideen werden gerne und offen aufgegriffen, man versucht dem Gast seine Wünsche auch wirklich zu erfüllen. Auch die Preise sind in einem vernünftigen Rahmen, so dass sich auch ein häufigerer Besuch anbietet. Nach unserem Umzug nach Bad Homburg ist das La Sopresa unser Stamm-Italiener geworden.

Sehr freundlicher Familienbetrieb mit angenehmer Atmosphäre, das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend, herzlich und war zu jeder Zeit ansprechbar. Das Essen war super schön angerichtet und sehr lecker. Wir haben dieses Restaurant als Catering für unsere Hochzeit im nächsten Jahr gebucht und freuen uns schon jetzt unseren Gästen die leckeren Speisen von La Sorpresa anzubieten. Immer wieder ein Besuch wert!

Joli restaurant, le personnel est extrêmement gentil. Les plats sont délicieux, les produits de qualité, petite bruchetta de bienvenue, un vrai régal. Le restaurant est un peu excentré de la rue principale de Bad Homburg mais il vaut vraiment la peine d'être testé ! Nous y sommes allés entre collègues de travail et nous reviendrons !

Aufmerksamer Service, schöne Atmosphäre und super leckeres Essen!!!

War heute zweites Mal innerhalb 2 Wochen da und das Essen war sehr gut!

Wir hatten wir reserviert und mussten diese kurzfristig Anpassen, was jedoch kein Problem war. Schon am Eingang wurden wir freundlich begrüßt und auch am Rest des Abends war der Service toll. Die Weinempfehlung war perfekt und auch das Essen hat allen geschmeckt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Super nettes inhabergeführtes Lokal mit gemütlichem Ambiente und fantastischer Küche. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Sehr leckere Speisen zu vernünftigen Preisen. Charmante Bedienung.

Super, lecker, toller Service, alles bestens, sehr gerne wieder

Ein Super Restaurant im kleinen Familiären Ambiente.Das Essen war sehr lecker

Essen war sehr lecker der Service war sehr gut sobald irgendwas gefehlt hat kam die Bedienung die auch sehr aufmerksam war bei den Leistungen und der Qualität des Essens kann man sich nicht über Preise beschweren.

Gutes Restaurant essen hat geschmeckt und der Service war auch gut.Ein wenig laut im Restaurant man kann sich sehr schlecht unterhalten.

Die Außenfassade lässt ein so schönes Inneres vielleicht nicht vermuten, doch es wirkt gleichzeitig typisch und elegant, zum Wohlfühlen. Essen und Service rundum perfekt, wir werden wiederkommen.

Ein Restaurant mit unglaublich viel Charme und Individualität! Italienische liebevolle Kochkunst trifft persönliche, aufmerksame & glaubwürdige Bedienung. Für mich die Nummer 1 im gesamten Taunus!

Papardelle mit Pilzen haben mich positiv überrascht. Perfekt gekocht, aber nicht verkocht. Schöne Einrichtung.

Wir sind immer wieder begeistert. Hier stimmt einfach alles. Top.

Unglaublich lecker. Service gut und freundlich. Immer wieder gerne.

Es war ein wirklich sehr schöner Abend! Super leckeres Essen und wunderbar gastfreundlich! DANKE - wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!!

Genau so muss italienisches Essen schmecken. Ganz egal was man bestellt, es ist authentisch und fantastisch! Die Bedienungen sind sehr zuvorkommend, freundlich und aufmerksam; und dabei fühlt man sich herzlich willkommen. Das Ambiente ist gepflegt und wunderbar familiär. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Wir haben am Wochenende mit 70 Personen in der Nähe von Bad Homburg gefeiert und Catering bei La Sopresa bestellt. Alle Gäste fanden das Essen sehr lecker, und zwar alles, sowas findet man leider kaum noch beim Büffet mittlerweile… Also wir sind sehr zufrieden, sowohl mit der Qualität des Essens, als auch mit der Organisation und Betreuung. Viele Dank, die Feier ist gelungen!

Toll, toll, toll. Besser geht es nicht, hohe Qualität in schönem Ambiente mit hochmotiviertem Personal, das gute Laune verbreitet. Wir haben einfach ein Überraschungsmenü bestellt und heraus kam das, siehe Bilder. Der absolute Wahnsinn mit extrem hohen Genussfaktor.

Leckeres Essen und herzliche Gastgeber. Waren gestern da und hatten einen sehr tollen Abend.

Wunderbares, authentisches italienisches Restaurant. Service megafreundlich, Essen wunderbar. Absolut zu empfehlen. Beim nächsten Besuch in Bad Homburg würde ich direkt wieder herkommen.

음식 맛있고 분위기 아기자기 좋은 이태리 레스토랑. 가격대비 양이 좀 적은거 빼고는 무난함

Ambiente top, Essen sehr gut, Personal sehr sympathisch

Die Speisen sind spitze, der Service ist unterhaltsam, Sonderwünsche sind kein Problem…wir sind immer wieder gern hier

Essen 12 von 10 Sternen ⭐️ Service 12 von 10 Sternen ⭐️ Alles frisch und hausgemacht 🤩! Der Service einfach liebevoll und das auch mit Kindern! Wir kommen wieder ❤️

Waren das erste Mal mit Freunden im La Sorpresa, aufgrund der sehr guten Bewertung hier bei Tripadvisor. Und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Sehr schönes Ristorante mit ebenso schönem Ambiente. Man fühlt sich sofort wohl, ein bisschen wie in Italien, und so soll es ja auch sein. Das Essen hat alle Erwartungen übertroffen und war einfach sensationell gut. Wir haben einen neuen Lieblingsitaliener und kommen defintiv wieder .....

Sehr leckere butterzarte Lammhaxe! Zabaione frisch aufgeschlagen und gut!

Ich hatte meine engsten Freundinnen und Freunde zu meinem Geburtstag eingeladen. Es wurde ein famoser Abend. Das Essen war - wie immer - sehr gut bis hervorragend. Pasta-Favoriten: schwarze Linguine mit Jakobsmuscheln und Spaghettini mit Venusmuscheln. Ich hatte dann einen wunderbaren Osso Buco und auch meine Gäste waren von ihrem Secondo begeistert (Saltimbocca so, wie es sein soll, Kalbskotelett toll). Prosecco und Wein waren sehr gut. Die Bedienung (Senior und Junior) war bester Laune und es wurde viel gelacht. Grazie mille!!!

Locals and regulars come to La Sorpresa where the dad is the patron and his two friendly sons secure the service. There is an appetizer station set in an old fishing boat and the atmosphere and decoration are country-style Italian. Checkered tablecloth included. All the typical Italian dishes, Vitello Tonnato, Pasta of all kinds, fish, and meat. A friendly place makes you feel at home. They also have a special lunch menu.

Neben dem wirklich sehr leckeren Essen, welches sehr appetitlich angerichtet ist, bekommt man hier einen super netten Service, Empfehlungen neben der Karte und ein schönes Ambiente in einer sauberen Lokation. Preise sind angemessen - wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder! Danke!

Es war mal wieder super lecker. Auch dieses Mal wurden wir nicht enttäuscht. Gehen echt gerne hin und freuen uns immer über den guten Service und die Empfehlungen aus der Küche. Frisch, saisonal abgestimmt und ein Augenschmaus. Freuen uns schon auf den nächsten Besuch.

Toller Service, tolles Essen. Sonderwünsche werden gerne berücksichtigt und Vorschläge gemacht. Lockere und familiäre Atmosphäre. Gehen immer wieder gerne hin, weil man sich einfach nur wohlfühlen muss! Weiter so und bis bald!

My friend and I had dinner at this Italian restaurant in Bad Homburg. I am Canadian and my friend speaks fluent German. When we were seated we were told to put our winter coats on the back of our chairs. The waitor spoke very rapidly to my friend in German and did not look at or talk to me once. When he took our orders it was the same attitude. The food was well prepared but we had to wait quite awhile to be asked if we wanted dessert or coffee. When we received the bill the total was 76.50 euros which was fine. We put 90 euros ( one 50 euro note and two 20 euro notes) in the folder which the waitor took and never returned with our change which should have been 13.50. We had no intention of leaving a 13.50 tip on a 76 euro bill especially considering the dismissive and rude attitude. We waited to see if the waiter would return. He did not, we were reluctant to confront him, and we left without anyone saying danke, grazie, just nothing. This experience was appalling and completely unacceptable. I can only think this happened as it was assumed we were " tourists " as we were speaking English at our table. I am a long term traveler to many European countries and this has never happened to me before in any restaurant. Terrible.

The food was terrible, not even the salad was fresh. The Salad tastes much worse than what is normally served at McDonalds. When you sit outside, what you hear is the loud noises from the street. All the friends who came with us were disappointed and we all wonder where the good reviews came from for this restaurant!!

Always good, always friendly. Ample outdoor seating just a few minutes walk from the city center and train station.

We have been walking-by this place for the last 20 years and never tried it. We made reservation and were seated in the garden. The service was absolutely friendly and helpful. All meals what we ordered were top delicious, nothing to complain about! We found the prices adequate for the quality of service and food. We are going to return for sure, this place is a clear recommendation! To consider: tables outside close to the street traffic can be a bit loud...

Have been here twice already and will be certainly back. Delicious food, extraordinary wine and deserts. Very friendly and welcoming staff!

Really enjoyed our meal here. The staff was very friendly even though there was a slight language barrier. The staff there seemed to speak mostly Italian and German, though the manager did speak pretty decent English. I speak English, and only a few greeting-level phrases in Italian and German. The food here was really great! We ordered the lasagna as an appetizer. It was honestly really good! The sauce was really superb in my opinion. I saw another reviewer say good, not great. Please tell me what lasagna you're getting so I can try it! I got the carbonara and WOW it was very tasty. It was the original Italian version with just egg yolks and bacon grease as the sauce, but it was so flavorful! My friend ordered the mushroom ravioli and it was also super fresh, hand-made, and tasty. I had the panna cotta for dessert and my friend had the tiramisu. You got a bigger portion of the tiramisu, but both were also yummy! The prices for everyone were quite reasonable as well. If you're in the area, you really should try this place. It's a little slice of Italy in the middle of Germany!

Friendly staff, quite a nice setting inside and self made pasta. They praise themselves of the best lasagna in town. It was very good indeed, but not great. In the Aglio Olio the Gaelic was burnt. Otherwise the food was very good. Would definitely come back.

This resto is recommended by others and triggered us to go. Parking is on the street. There is a terrace where you can sit nicely in the shade. We ordered starters, mains and desserts. All courses were very tasty. We enjoyed the good food and portions. Staff is very kind and will make sure you have a great evening out. Price Quality ratio is (very) good.

The Sorpresa is a really good restaurant top quality dishes are taken care of the gastronomy is appreciable and the quality of the service is unexceptionable. we tried various courses and all are up to expectations. Council !!!

Very fresh ingredients and a lovely outdoor terrace. Just down the street from the shopping district. Only have Italian and German menus so it is difficult to order in English. However I just asked for a recommendation for a good daily special. They gave me freshly made home made ravioli where they made the noodles and all of the ingredients. It was very lovely and tasty.

We have eaten here numerous times and it has always been excellent! From appetizers to pasta to fish or meat, great taste and service! A great neighborhood fine!

Italian food is not the first cuisine you think of when visiting a small town in Germany, and yet La Sorpresa is, as its name indicates, a surprise. Situated near the center of town, its menu offers a great deal of authentic Italian dishes made with fresh ingredients, from pasta made in a wheel of parmesan, to succulent fish cut and served in front of you. There are also delicious desserts, great coffee and a nice selection of liqueurs and digestives to end your meal. On top of the food, Giovanni (the owner) and his team are really friendly and make you feel at home.

We come every year to Frankfurt on business and every year we have dinner here at least once, the food is always great, the service too, I always ask them to buy Branzino so they can especially make it for us, Branzino al Sale ! Just sooooo good

Absolutely well deserved. From start to finish perfection. This is how restaurants should be run. Excellent service with outstanding food and wine. If you only have 1 night in Bad Homburg then make sure you visit here. Closed on Mondays. I can usually knock a...

Good, fresh Italian cuisine using best seasonal ingredients. Fresh seasonal white asparagus were much sweeter and tastier than those at the Hotel Steigenberger, for example. Fresh fish, simply but tastily prepared grilled with olive oil and garlic. Pasta was al dente. Very tasty spaghetti with...

It was the best Italian food we ever had. The chef surprised us with the most delicious dishes. The hospitality was overwhelming, so we can recommend this restaurant to everybody. We want to take him with us to Holland...‼️‼️‼️

La Sorpresa is a nicely appointed restaurant where the chef serves and cooks himself. White table linens and candle light make for a nice atmosphere. The menu is not big, but very well put together with appetizers, fish, pasta and meat dishes and, of course,...
