Lucullus Nero in Frankfurt am Main

Kinga and Harris were both lovely servers. Took care of us as we waited for our delayed flight.

Wait to be seated. You will wait. For ages. The staff must be terribly badly paid because they don’t really care. Eventually we got seated and waited another 10mins before we could order. The kitchen was pretty slow too and the food when it arrived was just tasteless. We ordered simple stuff like basic pasta dishes and they were all tasteless. All dishes were 15-20 euro apiece. Frankly I don’t know this place survives. Airport restaurants are always expensive of course but at least they are quick. They have to be quick. This place is geologically slow and the food is awful. Hopefully someone will read this review while they are waiting to seated and save themselves the time and expense.

We had a Great experience ans enjoyed the Food. Harris was a great server

After a long flight I was looking for something to eat and found what I was looking for. A waiter named Haris served me very professionally and quickly. Thanks Haris

The restaurant's ambiance was cozy and inviting, but what really stood out was the exceptional service provided by Wai Thu. Wai was knowledgeable about the menu especially the Rumpsteak that I wanted to try, her prompt service and warm demeanor made me choose to dine here and the experience was truly delightful. Highly recommended!

The reception staff here is full of anger is the question of whether an order is possible an angry situation? I almost got kicked out

I had a fantastic dining experience at Lucullus Restaurant, Frankfurt Airport. The food was incredibly delicious, and our waiter, Ferro, was outstanding. His kindness and professionalism made the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend both the food and the service! Thank you Ferro 👍

Excellent friendly service and very tasty burger.

The food is awful, at least the breakfast with the same name as the restaurant. The robot is cute and all, but it's hard to get distracted from the fact that you're being robbed. A lot of plates get returned nearly full.

I had a voucher from Lufthansa. This was not accepted. The waiter was rude. The dishes are ok, but don't expect authentic Italian cuisine. I suspect there are better restaurants at Frankfurt airport.

After weeks of travel & headed home, i craved a good burger. Their burger was excellent on any standard and far above any I've had in an airport. Steven, my server, was attentive and welcoming. The kitten robot he works with ensures your food comes out fast and right off the grill.

The burger was delicious, offering —exactly what you need during a busy travel day. A special shout-out goes to Harris, who truly elevated the experience. His calm and professional demeanor made the meal even more enjoyable. Harris was attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect without being overbearing. If you're passing through Frankfurt airport, Lucullus is definitely worth a visit, and if you’re lucky enough to have Harris as your server, you’re in for a treat!

Too slow. Sat down for 10 mins and couldn’t even get my order taken.

Even if a “cat” helps with service, we are glad that there is a real waiter. thank you, Haris

Food is ok, but they made a mistake in my receipt, and we're running after me to fix the mistake they did. Not a restaurant level :(

We wiped our plates clean, the food was amazzzzzing. Complements to the chef. And thank you Ferro for serving us well.

Staff very mindful and create good atmosphere. I am an SSP multiunit shiftmanager from Finland, I give the staff and the whole experience and the food 5/5.

Food is slightly above average. Prices are high, as expected at an airport restaurant. The overall experience is ruined by a waiter who did not speak English very well and quickly forgot what you just asked for. I ordered a starter and a main. I was barely gain way though the starter, when the main arrived. I tried to explain to the waiter that I want to finish the starter before having the main. Took me 3 minutes to make her understand. I also ordered dessert and espresso. Guess what. The dessert came well before the espresso. Would I recommend? Maybe. Not sure.

Kings was a great waitress with excellent service. She represented the Lucullus establishment very well!

This is a restaurant where the employees are racist. After eating with my companion, I paid with cash, and the employee told me to wait for about 5 minutes so she could give me change. I thought they were telling me to wait because they didn't have any cash, but they cleaned other's table and welcomed other customers as usual. They were never busy. I realized it was unfair treatment and asked for the change again. The employee asked me to wait again, so I protested that I had already waited over 5 minutes, and the employee immediately gave me the change. They apparently deliberately delayed my payment for no reason. This is clearly racism and employees should feel ashamed of their actions. Especially in Germany, we need to be more careful about this behavior. This is a store where the employees are racist. After eating with my companions, I paid with cash and the clerk told me to wait about five minutes so he could give me change. I thought they were telling me to wait because they didn't have any cash, but as usual they cleared the table and greeted other customers. They were never busy. I knew this was unfair treatment and again asked for change. The employee asked me to wait again and I protested that I had already waited over 5 minutes and the employee immediately gave me change. They apparently intentionally delayed my payment without giving any reason. This is clearly racism and employees should be ashamed of their actions. Especially in Germany we have to be more careful with this behavior. This is a magazine that employs people who are racist. After you have met me with your companions, you will pay in specs and the receptionist will wait 5 minutes for you to return the money. Je pensais qu'ils me disaient d'attendre parce qu'ils n'avaient pas d'argent liquide, mais ils ont nettoyé la table et accueilli les other clients comme d'habitude. Ils n'étaient jamais occupés. Je savais que c'était un traitement injuste et j'ai de nouveau demandé du changement. The employee is required to attend again and is protesting without having to attend for more than 5 minutes and the employee immediately receives the money. Ils ont apparemment délibérément retardé mon paiement sans raison. Il s'agit clairement de racisme et les employés devraient avoir honte de leurs acts. En Allemagne notamment, nous devons être plus prudents face à ce comportement. Questo is a negozio in cui i dipendenti sono razzisti. You can also work with my companions in contact with each other and the commesso will take about 5 minutes to finish the rest. If my request is made without any contact, you can pull the table and add other clients to the table. Non erano mai occupati. Sapevo che si trattava di un trattamento ingiusto e high chiesto di nuovo il cambiamento. The impiegato mi ha chiesto di aspettare ancora e io ho protestato dicendo che avevo già aspettato più di 5 minuti e the impiegato mi ha dato immediatamente il resto. Apartments Hanno delivered ritardato il mio pagamento senza motivo. Questo è chiaramente razzismo and i dependents dovrebbero gognarsi delle loro azioni. Soprattutto in Germania dobbiamo stare più attenti a questo comportamento.

We had a wonderful experience at Lucullus Nero while waiting for our flight. Our waitress, Tisch, was absolutely fantastic and friendly throughout. She took great care of us, ensuring we had everything we needed. Her warm and attentive service truly made our visit enjoyable. If you're ever at Frankfurt Airport, I highly recommend stopping by Lucullus Nero – especially if you're lucky enough to have Tisch as your server! Thank you for making our wait so much more pleasant.

Miss. Wai Thu is very polite and professional server. It was pleasure to be serve by Miss. Thu … Thank you again !

We waited about 30 minutes to order. The drinks then came quickly. When we asked after 50 minutes when our food would come, we were told that it was coming now. But it didn't come. All the other people who entered the restaurant at the same time as us had eaten and paid. When we asked further questions, we were cheekily lied to, saying that all orders had been canceled and that it was therefore taking longer and that the waitress was alone, where I saw her colleague serving at another table. Absolutely incompetent and rude. Unfortunately I can't recommend it as a stopover.

This restaurant doesn't know they're in an airport. It is the slowest restaurant here. It very overpriced too. You should try another spot.

We didn't have any expectations for this place, just wanted a quick pizza and craft beer before our flight. I was very surprised by the delicious pizza we got! Expensive as any other airport restaurant, but nothing else negative. Funny to be served by a robot!

After 20 minutes we still couldn't place an order. Have and then sat in the bistro. We picked something good looking (Black Forest). €9 for flour poisoning is simply too expensive. The thing was so dry. There was no ketchup either, that could have at least moistened the thing a little.

Good food, exaggerated kindness, thank you

I stopped here while at the Frankfurt airport. The environment was comfortable and it was nice to sit down in a proper restaurant. The service was slow, but that is because the server had so many tables. She was super busy. They needed more staff for the number of customers. Menus were available in German or English. The server spoke pretty good English and seemed very used to working with all kinds of guests. The food was good, though a little expensive, it seemed to me. This is a good place if you are looking for a sit-down meal at the airport.

I highlight the friendliness of the staff

Great food and service. Thanks Steven , everything is excellent.

Very courteous waitress :dragana

I loved the service, the experience of the robot and the best, Paola's attention in Spanish 💕

Excellent attention from Paola Very good work Paola! Thank you.

The Diavola and carbonara were delicious. Great wine. Authentic Italian.

Surprisingly great Diavalo pizza and spaghetti carbonara! Also, they have a fabulous wine collection with some real gems if you ask the manager.

on a 5 hour holdover @ Frankfurt Airport (so bleak, one of my least favourite transit airports) en route back to Sydney from hiking across the Balkans I was fortunate to find Lucullus Nero & experience the excellent service provided by Haris - he is a credit to your restaurant, so friendly & obliging. However I feel the ambiance of the restaurant is being adversely impacted by the food delivery robots - personal service is what matters! no robots please!

People are EXTREMLE unfriendly and rude and pretend they dont speak german

Very good service with both Steve and a robot taking care of us. A relaxing environment in a busy airport gave us a nice break from long travel.

Nice and relaxed service (was served by Haris 🙂‍↕️), the food was tasty and I also found the atmosphere very pleasant; the facilities are very nice! Since there wasn't that much going on, I was able to sit and relax and recover from the airport stress :)

Great food Friendly staff No complaints

Great service even better food!!

Kinga was an amazing waitress and the pizza was very good. Hectic traveling back to the states, but she made the experience much smoother.

Ich war irrt die Geldschein, und er hat 20 Euro mehr genommen .... I think the person serving me was the owner. I got confused about the bill for a moment and paid it by mistake. He swallowed it like nothing happened... Something's not working out, huh? I was doing it Rather, it's like asking what's the problem.. When I calculated it later, I found out that he took 20 euros more.

Amazing place! The staff is so polite especially Hris! I will definitely come back!

Very good food. We had a problem with our meal and the staff immediately solve the problem.

Haris was great - very professional and calm. Nice to feel calm whilst travelling all day.

Kinga exceeded my expectations. As did the food and atmosphere. The Cesar salad and pizza made for a great meal to share.

Haris was amazing and took care of us for our long overlay!

Dragma attention was great, kitty robot too 😸

We ordered a margherita with vegan cheese and got one with mozzarella. When we pointed this out to the waiter, he said we'd get a new one, but seemed like he thought it was our fault (not his). The Margherita with vegan cheese arrived after what felt like an eternity, but new cutlery was only available upon request. At least we didn't have to argue about the bill; we were charged straight away for just one Margherita. In general, we had the feeling that the employees had to do far too much at once and therefore - understandably - seemed to be very overwhelmed with the overall situation in the restaurant, and we asked ourselves how a restaurant could do so in such a "foolish" way can be operated at all. Not a recommendation from us.

It was very nice and relaxing to eat there. The food was delicious and the waiter Haris was great and really lifted our spirits. 🙏 was great

We spent the waiting time here after our missed connecting flight. The food was very tasty and Haris served us really personably and attentively.

HOW CAN YOU CLOSE AT 9 PM IM STARVING I NEED FOOD AND THERES NOTHING TO EAT HERE JESUS CHRIST

Paola was an amazing waitress!!! So nice and great service.

Very bad and mean supervisor He doesn’t want me to order another pizza Don’t go there guys 👎🏻

Really great food. Good food presentation as well. Impeccably good service. Very clean. I would highly recommend them.

The salmon is delicious and the service amazing! Kinga and Fero who were serving us were super nice and played with my 5yo, he loved it :)

Service was terrible. It took nearly 30 minutes to be seated and then left without ordering after waiting another 20 minutes with no server coming to the table.

Had a great time at Lucullus before my flight. Havis has been incredibly great and friendly, amazing service! Thanks again

The food is pretty good - we ordered a pizza which arrived using a robotic cart. We ordered Evian water which was on their menu but they gave us Vio instead. They seemed to not have Evian but did not say anything about it. They took cash only on the day we visited. The biggest issue was the forced service tip of 10% - I always tip food services, but deciding on my behalf how much I should tip is not okay if you ask me.

Lovely food! Just what I needed whilst waiting for my connecting flight. Service is great, and the atmosphere feels as if I am not even in the airport! Shoutout to Haris + Ferro! Best waiters ever 😊🤝

After 30 min seating and still nobody coming for the order, I am using the time to write this review and slowly going somewhere else

The food was satisfactory - however they use automatic robots to deliver the food and I assume for this reason are grossly understaffed. Please staff the restaurant appropriately so customers can efficiently eat and get to their gates.

Beware of ordering water, they charge you for it, and not only do they charge you for it they give you the big one, even though you didn’t request it, eight euros later. Also, read the final line on the glass of wine. Two different sizes and they don’t suggest one or the other they just give you the big one.

Very good service! Funny and nice waiter:)

Haris, the server, made the experience worth while. He gave great recommendations and showed genuine care. Fresh and flavourful food and a good menu variety.

Such an amazing dinner experience! Thank you so much to Haris for the wonderful service and taking such great care of us, and lifting our spirits after flight was canceled. We went back two nights in a row!!

Worst service with pasta with NO seasoning: My son and I had lunch at the restaurant. Alio Olio and i ordered had 0 seasoning and tasted like nothing. However, since it is an airport restaurant that is always busy, I did not say anything and quietly finished my meal. As we were finishing our meal, there were many people waiting in line, so I asked our server to bring the check so that other customers could be seated. We waited for 10 minutes, and despite making eye contact with the server multiple times, she neither brought the check nor asked us to wait. We then went to the register and asked if we could pay, but the server ignored us and continued helping other customers with non-urgent matters. After seating seven new groups and cleaning up our table, she once again went back to the kitchen, passing right in front of us. I said, “Can I please pay for this because we have waited over 10 minutes.” To my surprise, a male chef came out of the kitchen and started to mock my comment with the entire crew in German. Although I did not understand everything they were saying, they kept repeating “10 minutes! 10 minutes!” and laughed together while shaking their heads. The chef and another server glared at me and my 11-year-old son. This is one of the most ridiculous experiences I have ever had at a restaurant. I hope the employees would get some basic training on not mocking foreign customers and be respectful of them.

Amazing food and amazing service!

Pizza diavolo very good Kinga (wait staff)was friendly and efficient Hugo (cocktail) was too sweet and its Prosecco was flat.

Here you can have a good meal in a nice atmosphere during a stopover. Thank you Haris for the great hospitality!

Our server was Kinga, she was great.

Tips required. Airport restaurant. It’s delicious x

Kings was our server and she was lovely and helpful after airports were shut down and we had to stay in Frankfurt for the night.

Terrible service from Oxaliq, if you order something they will not cancel it even if it takes forever.

I was looking for a good and atmospheric place in huge Frankfurt aeroporto. And I found it. This place gives a good vibe and tasty Italian food. And the most welcoming waiter Haris made a great service, attentive and with big friendly smile. Thanks for service

Excellent Service of Paola 10 out of 10

Dragana was so helpful and friendly, very impeccable service from her.

Lucullus Nero at Frankfurt Airport provides a pleasant dining experience for travelers. The food quality is commendable, particularly for an airport setting. The pasta, though flavorful, was not quite perfect – it was slightly undercooked and served a bit cold. Nevertheless, the overall taste was satisfying. The staff at Lucullus Nero are friendly and accommodating, adding a warm touch to the dining experience. However, service can be slow due to understaffing, which affects the efficiency, despite the kitchen's relatively quick output. The restaurant doesn't have much atmosphere, but the decor and seating are well-designed, offering a comfortable and appealing environment. In conclusion, Lucullus Nero is a reliable choice for a meal at Frankfurt Airport, with good food and a pleasant setting, though there is room for improvement. Would try them again!

Miserable and overpriced airport restaurant. Pizza was tasteless and dry. Food is served via a robot which was filthy and had drops of other customers food all over it, and yet they still ask for a tip at the end.

Haris and Ferro were very kind and accommodating. They were good about food allergies and made me feel safe. We were in a time crunch before our flight, so they even made my food to go!

The food was really good and the staff was really friendly to the guests and you could see they are having fun together

Haris and Ferro were so wonderful! My daughter has severe food allergies, and they were incredibly helpful and made her feel safe. They boxed up our food to go, so she could have a delicious meal on our overnight flight. I am so grateful for their kindness! They made our day!

We have passed thru the Frankfurt airport on our way back to South Africa Haris serviced us a spicy salami pizza and it is the best I have had in my 41 years we in SA eat a lot of pizzas and we can learn from them well done Haris and your team the pizza is perfect 👌

Kaleem made our experience incredible .Great food great service overall absolutely amazing restaurant would recommend to all.

I would like to thank Paola and Dragana for a wonderful service and for making me feel at home. Keep up the great work and warm and welcoming smile🙏🏻🌸🌸

Paola was our server. And she was great. All though it was a pretty busy morning. She managed to be in a great mood and was very helpful!

Paola was great and very attentive. Great service and very prompt. Also like the robot hat brings the food :)

Paola was AMAZING!! I had a great time but she needs to understand that my real love us Bella. Oh and the carbonara was pretty good too.

It took a very long time for the food to arrive 😢

I had a Ceasar salad that was quite big in size but didn't taste like any of the Ceasar salads I've had before. It was somewhat sweet (notes of barbeque sauce), the chicken was cut along the grain and fried so hard it was dry, while the bread was chewy. There wasn't much of service (part of it was done by a robot, in the beginning a bit unfriendly waitress took my simple order and rushed away, in the end another one brought me bill when I asked for it) but the waitress still demanded me how much tip am I going to give and even highlighted the sum to stress that she wants tip. Can anyone explain why the restaurants at Frankfurt demand tip in such an aggressive way? Don't German laws require that people who work in restaurants get paid by the restaurant? Isn't tipping in Germany customary only when the service is good and even then voluntary?

Delicious food, great service. Thank you Haris for your care and your jokes

Excellent and pleasant service especially from Ferro and Haris. Food was filling and restaurant is nice to look at.

The service from employees Ferro and Haris is very good! They are very attentive and friendly. The food was filling and the atmosphere was comfortable. I can only recommend.

Awful breakfast. Awful coffee. And they charge 30% for tip and service. Be careful. Do not even try.

After all the very positive and VERY negative reviews I was skeptical and thought I'd play some roulette. And I must say I REALLY LIKED IT! The food came quickly (10 min tops) and it looked and tasted amazing (I had the carbonara). Indifferent to earlier reviews, the amount of sauce was just right, not too soggy, and the pasta had a nice bite to it. Heck, even the Rucola was tasty. All in all it was quite nice and filling pre long-way flight,if a tad expensive (18€ for 1 pasta oof). My explanation for the bad reviews is that this place is like russian roulette. Either you get them on a good or bad day, but it has the potential to be great. Also the cat Robot server is just so adorable.

The Food Robot Was The Best For Me

Beautiful, cozy Italian restaurant in the middle of a hectic airport in Frankfurt. It's obviously a very high tempo restaurant, but I had Haris as my server and despite how busy he was, he didn't sacrifice good service. That is always appreciated. It was definitely a great dining experience, not to mention the excellent pasta and wine I had.

Exceptional service by Haris and the chefs at Lucullus during a very busy time. Enjoyed the food!

Very inattentive service. No questions asked as to whether you would like to reorder something. Dishes are not cleared away. You have to walk there yourself to pay. Food is average.
