Lucullus Nero in Frankfurt am Main

They actually close at 9:09PM not 10PM 😆

Delicious and great service from Ferro! :)

A restaurant at the airport. It's 🆗. Of course it's too expensive for the quality. I would say that every Pizzeria in Italy has a better Pizza 🍕.

Haris was an attentive waiter! Everything was great!

Bacon pasta is super salty, so salty, isn't salt free? The bacon is burnt, is it cooked carefully? How can such a simple dish be so salty, what's wrong with it? It's time to change the chef!

Hello, I ate salmon today, June 3, 2025, at your restaurant at Frankfurt Airport – and it was truly the best salmon I've ever eaten in my entire life. ❤️ The chef was simply amazing – everything was perfectly prepared and very professional! The server was also extremely friendly and equally professional. Thank you so much for this outstanding service! I will share my experience on all social media – this is by far the best restaurant at the entire Frankfurt Airport! ❤️

Great service from Wai Thee, so pleasant and helpful. Loved the robotic waiters. Burschetta was the best.

Really delicious food in Frankfurt airport….Ferro was a great server….love the cat robot that delivers food!!

Haris was wonderful. The robot was cute, but not as personable. The experience was nice and the food was great.

The pasta definitely requires significant improvement. It had little in common with a true carbonara — it resembled more of a watery soup with minimal flavor and some spaghetti mixed with bacon. We ate it out of hunger, but I wouldn’t order something like this at the airport again. The beer was good.

Bad overpriced food… don’t go there. I ordered a medium steak came vert well done. Vegetables were mushy and potatoes were cold. Cafeteria style sides. Paid 50 euro for a steak and water. Resturant will trick you by not showing the prices on the menus infornt of the Resturant. You will not have a good food experience here. AVOID!!!

Stylish restaurant and excellent service from staff - delicious food and wine Wai Thu waitress so kind helpful and went out of her way to charge my phone etc

La comida era tan deliciosa! Tenía una pizza y pasta y era enorme! La pizza era 10 / 10 y nuestro camarero de Grecia, fue fantástico!

Great service - Wai Thu was very accommodating and extremely friendly. Her food recommendations were spot-on!!!

The food wasn’t delicious. The potato was raw inside. They ask for tips for the lack of service!

Compared to other restaurants, it takes a really long time to take orders, serve food, and pay. It's not like he hasn't been to restaurants in Europe, but perhaps he's being annoying on purpose. When he sets the cutlery, he roughly gathers everything up and throws it in the middle of the table, and his tone is just rude. The pizza tasted good, but the pasta had a strange texture and tasted like cheap, thawed frozen food. I doubt it's actually frozen, but it's not cheap, so I recommend eating somewhere else.

This restaurant was a breathe of fresh air after a long flight delay. Haris, the waiter, was attentive, friendly and accommodating.

This is how a trip should start Thank you very much, very accommodating, dear Haris! LG Dirk

Excellent service from the waiter Haris Cool place to wait for your flight 👍🏽

Food was with no taste. Margarita was sour and with no taste. I regret my visit.

Excellent food excellent friendly service from WaiThu. Also enjoyed the robot waiter

The aglio olio tastes just like garlic and salty, and the margherita pizza tastes like the worst cheese pizza.

Fun to have a sit-down meal in the airport that was delivered by a robot!

Worst customer service and staff don’t know how to talk with customers. End up not buying anything from them. Garbage service

The service we received from Kinga was fantastic! Her friendly manner despite the high workload was admirable and beneficial! Thanks for that 🙏🏽

I stood at the “please wait to be seated” sign for 10 minutes and was told “someone will be with you” three times and was never seated. It wasn’t even very busy. A really awful experience, even by airport standards. The people working there and whomever is managing them do not seem to care about doing a good job.

Coffee menu available, coffee machine behind the counter, but coffee cannot be purchased. 'We do not have it in our offer'.

I had a great experience at Lucille’s Nero at Frankfurt Airport, thanks to our amazing waitress, Wai. She was incredibly personable, knowledgeable about the menu, and made us feel truly welcome. Her warm and professional service really stood out. If I ever find myself at this airport again, I’ll definitely be back…thanks to Wai! P.S. love the robot

terrible ..not so many people there and waiting for a Burger over 30 min.... then the waiter told me to wait another 20 minutes .. but he brought the bill right away ... I do not recommend

It's most enjoyable to have coffee with beautiful lady Wai Thu.I'm so happy and enjoyable. Thank you Wai Thu for the great service.

Arrived at the airport early in order to eat before our 11 hour flight. Showed up at the restaurant at 1840 and were told they were closed for the next hour for “break”. This is the only restaurant on the concourse and you close at dinner time, just ridiculous.

Wai Thu was our server and she was very good. Never had an issue and she was very kind. Completely enjoyed our experience with Wai Thu

Ferro and Haris were both fantastic. The food was delicious.

Stood there for a while "waiting to be seated" while staff mulled about and ignored our existence. When I gently asked if we should just sit at one of the many open tables, I was rudely told to be patience because they were busy. Then, when someone did come over I was told that orders were not being taken until 2pm? Huh? Thanks, you saved me dropping money on your overpriced food. Learn some manners, it doesn't take much. I'd rather eat dirt of the floor than spend money in this place.

Despite the stress in the shop, the Haris did a perfect job, I left happy, the next time I fly from the Z gates I'll definitely be back!

28 of us wanted to eat there at 3 p.m and they didn't take us it would take 2 hours with a choice of 3 dishes....very few guests Where does it take 2 hours to cook noodles?

One of my best stakes! Everybody is friendly and great environment!

Staff not interested in customer

Good food, and great service. Milena was specially kind and smiley.

They never took my order, when raised my hands they just say if you are not patient you can go to the place next door. Usually got really good service in Germany and was spoiled by this experience at the airpor.

Mi vuelo de Vancouver, Canadá a Ciudad del Cabo, Sudáfrica tuvo una escala de 11 horas en el aeropuerto de Frankfurt. Alrededor de las 11 am del lunes, febrero. 17 , 2025 Pedí un zumo de naranja, ensalada de frutas y té. Fue bueno, aunque caro. A las 3. 30 pm por la tarde me registré de nuevo para un capuchino. El camarero me informó rápidamente que el restaurante solo sirve comida y bebidas juntos. Tendría que ir a tomar un café como comida para llevar en una taza desechable. Como un viajero cansado que necesita un buen café de tarde, me parece que este restaurante tiene el máximo beneficio, sin tener en cuenta las necesidades de los viajeros. Viajo a Sudáfrica al menos una vez al año. Coma en otro lugar en el aeropuerto de Frankfurt. No en Lúculo Nerón.

Kinga was a phenomenal waitress. Very professional.

Great place for a meal before a flight. Oxaha did a great job and was very friendly.

Oxana was excellent ! Great service

The server oxana was nice and pretty

Nice place to relax, great food, and beautiful presentation. I would like to thank Aksana for going above and beyond to make my dining experience exceptional. Her sincere greeting and excellent service made all the difference

Хорошее место чтобы расслабиться, отличные блюда, и красивая подача, Я хотел бы поблагодарить Аксану за то, что он сделал все возможное, чтобы сделать мои ужин исключительным. Её искреннее приветствие и превосходное обслуживание сыграли решающую роль

Best airport food I’ve ever had! Pizzas are proper Italian style and service was quick and friendly

Very good food. Fast. Friendly, always happy. The waitress Oxana Dragana was super friendly and attentive.

Very good and fast service! Despite there being only one chef, the food was quick and the service was great! Many thanks to Thomas and Dragana

The waiter's service was unfriendly since not everyone understands the language perfectly and he ignored the service request when we asked if we could order

Very nice service at Pni Kinga 👍

Great pizza, great service. The staff made us laugh, specially Haris. All the best.

Absolutely incredibly good pizza, as well as Mozzarella de Bufala were excellent and it has to be emphasized that for an airport restaurant it is not like that everywhere in Frankfurt!

Food: Wide variety for an airport restaurant. Service: Excellent service, in my case very prompt and friendly, by Ms. Wai Thu (also helped by a funny robot). Atmosphere: I think it's the only place on Terminal Z where one can sit down away from the usual hubbub.

Had a lovely meal while waiting for my flight. Staff is friendly and the service is excellent

Thank you to my waiter Wai Thu for the excellent service and hospitality

My first time in the Frankfurt airport omw home to the states. Arrived in the morning around 8 looking for an American style breakfast - this is the spot! Thank you Kinga for your lovely service and personality!

The lovely waiter Haris served us, the food came quickly and was delicious. Highly recommended

Great service from Wai Thee! Lovely food & wine, wouldn't know you were in the airport at all . Thank you

Lara at Frankfurt was absolutely welcoming and phenomenal, she has made our experience at this airport 12/10. Highly recommend asking for her!

Food and service were great, Shima was very kind and welcoming. In case you’re flying United and getting kicked out of the Lufthansa lounge, make a stop here ☺️

Shim, the waitress, was very friendly amd attentive. Great food!

Was greeted by a wonderfully familiar and professional server named Haris, the food was exquisite, and the drinks were quite affordable.

Haris was amazing, modeling what service at an airport while dealing with a 12-hour delay should be. The robot-serving food was an amazing surprise!

Good food. Haris was a great and funny server 😁

Tired from a long flight and layover, it’s been “one of those days”, but then the great atmosphere and service here reminded me that there’s balance in the universe and it reaps rewards. Brought me back to life. Thank you, Haris.

A wonderful place to have dinner or lunch! We were stranded for 2 days at Frankfurt and had both our dinners here!! Ferro helped us both days in giving food suggestions and being nice!! After all the airport drama it was a refreshing change!

Was attended by Ferro and Harry and I must say I felt so welcome and customer service was on point 🙌🏼🙌🏼… I recommend this place to everyone.

With a long transit in Frankfurt airport, had a lovely dinner here to kill the time, Ferro made our time even better with his hospitality. Always a pleasure transiting through Frankfurt airport and stopping by Lucullus for a bite and drink.

Food was wonderful and Ferro was exceptionally helpful and provided wonderful service

Great place to eat well, recharge phone, and generally spend time... Better than paying for a lounge:) Ferro and the team provide good service.

Been there twice once in Dec 2022 and then on Jan 2nd 2025. Likely the best place to eat and stay for a bit if you don’t have access to the Lufthansa lounges in Terminal Z. Convenient for US outbound flights. Food is great. We ordered Pizza and dessert. Addressing other reviews talking about overpriced food, the food is not terribly overpriced, however the water is at 9EUR. Just don’t order the water. Staff is friendly considering this is an airport restaurant and there are no repeat customers. Be nice to them and you will be treated well. They are very busy and overrun with orders. They don’t bother you to leave or treat you bad if you order smaller portions. Robot regaled us and other customers as well. Capture a video as it arrives with your food and smiles at you !!

We had an 8 hour layover at the airport and after visiting various restaurants we are satisfied with the Lucullus. The service was polite and nice. We ordered a tuna pizza 🍕 and bruschetta as well as two cokes. The food came after 15 minutes. Both were delicious 😋, pizza with a crispy base and well topped, Bruschetta Classic well topped and tasty. It's a good place to stay and eat. Thanks

Mr Harris is a true gentleman. His serrvice is impeccable. This restaurant lives up to its motto "authentic Italian dining".

Food and drinks were exceptional, so fresh and fast prepared. Service is excellent, especially Haris, who was so nice and responsive. All recommendations!

The food and atmosphere aren't bad, but the service is really bad. I saw a review late after ordering that a tip was required, but when I looked at the menu, it said that you had to volunteer, so I just ate in peace. I hadn't finished eating yet, but he passed by and handed me the bill and said something. Then he came back again and urged me to pay because he had to go quickly. This is the first time something like this has happened and I am speechless;;; Anyway, while I was doing that, I saw a woman paying with a credit card, and she added a 10% tip as she wanted. The server did that on her own without any consent, so the woman got angry and said something, but she continued to ignore me and said she didn't know. It was already like that. I witnessed this and was upset because of the attitude of handing over the bill before the meal was over. I paid the exact change, but they said something about it not being this amount (and asking for a tip). This is what it says on the menu. When I asked him if he didn't, he made a threat that didn't even seem like a threat, saying that I would remember you. Haha; Don't worry, I'll remember it and never go again. He kept his bad attitude and put the coins back on the table. Who do you think is a beggar like you? Anyway, please read the reviews as carefully as possible before visiting. They say that if you write something in a review, you can do it voluntarily, but in reality, you don't..

The taste and quantity are okay. Service is a mess. There weren't many people, but when I raised my hand to order, it took a while for it to arrive. As soon as the meal came out, the person who served me brought out the terminal to quickly ask for a tip because he had to go. 10% checked on the terminal. While I was eating, he asked for money and said he would pay later. A lady at the table next to me paid with a credit card, but she added a tip without permission, so I was embarrassed. My wife was upset because she asked me to give her a quick tip 3 times while I was eating. I paid with cash and change, but they told me to pay for the service separately. I was taken aback when I saw that the service was included on the paper menu. And since tips are separate, I was confused when I showed them that tip was optional on the menu. I kept complaining, “I’ll remember you guys, I’ll never let you come here again,” and cleaned it up, making the kids stop eating, and left.

It was such a treat to sit at the airport, during an 11 hour layover, and have a delicious meal (with real crockery, cutlery, and glasses!). My meal was stunning and Haris was an attentive and lovely server. Definitely recommend!

Food was good. Airport prices. Food came quick. Staff was friendly.

I had a great cheeseburger with rosemary potatoes. Service was friendly and efficient.

The food is ok, but nothing more. But the service doesn't deserve a star. You have to keep in mind that the people who eat here are almost exclusively people who are waiting for their flight and therefore don't have endless time. But the service ladies don't seem to care. First they forgot what we ordered which made it take longer. When I asked to pay, I was kept waiting unnecessarily long. And when I expressed my dissatisfaction with the service while paying, the lady suddenly switched to English, apparently to avoid a discussion. Before that, she had no problems speaking German.

Steven took care great of us while we waited for our flight. The service was excellent and the food was good too. A huge thank you to Steven!

Pizza in Germany, don’t expect too much here. Thin crust style, not much flavor to the dough or even the ingredients. The weirdest thing happened was when this bus boy picture added, snatch some napkins from me for no reason. That felt very bullyiish and sexiest. My waitress saw it and handed me a napkin afterwards. He gave me some bar napkins. I needed the thicker napkins because I spilled some water in the floor. Telling him he didn’t care. Watch out for him if he’s lurking nearby, he is the napkin gatekeeper.

Haris did a great job and the pizza was awesome.

Food meh. Mixed salad pretty poor and too much balasimic dressing. Tomatoes looked like yesterday’s. Pizza was oily and bland, the ham too thickly cut yet tasteless, and there was some sort of pesto on the pizza which detracted from it completely. Service was ok when it was human - but they have a dinky robot that brings you food. Sounds good in theory, but it stops 1.5 meters behind you to one side, and then speaks quietly and it’s easy not to notice it or realise what it is there for. Then you look at the screen and it says a table number, but the tables have no numbers, so it’s still not clear it’s for you. Eventually you get up and look at what it is carrying (the tray is at the back and you can’t see it unless you walk around it). If it looks right, you hesitantly take it, hoping you’re doing the right thing and not taking someone else’s food or uneaten reject. If you ignore it, staff come, pick up the plate, and look equally confused while they try to figure out what it is and who in the vicinity ordered it. Apparently they don’t know the table numbers either. Prices don’t make up for it - 40 eur for a pizza, small salad and water! Expensive event for an airport. Large portion sizes, but that’s hardly a plus given that I didn’t finish and felt worse after than I did before. Then they asked for a tip… No redeeming features. Avoid.

Excellent attention from Wai Thu Congratulations!!!

I wasn't able to experience the quality of the food because after almost an hour of waiting for someone willing to take the order, I gave up and went to a nearby bakery - which I highly recommend, by the way. I haven't seen a staff so focused on their job for a long time. The situation of the place was somewhat saved by robots delivering orders - if it weren't for them, orders would probably have to be placed 3 days in advance

We didn't get served after waiting for 30-40min. Yes, the restaurant was full, but the waitresses worked as in the slow motion, the robot bringing food moved 10x faster than the staff. It's unacceptable on the airport when people are often in a hurry to catch the plane and with such prices...

The service deserves zero stars. It's a shame that you can't forgive them. Let's go!

Really bad service. First you have to wait to get a table, if you are lucky to get a table, you again wait to get someone to serve on table. If you get one to come, they will hand over the menu and disappear - even if you already know what you want and request them to take the order immediately, they will just decline it. I was told "this restaurant does not have a quick service". Food is okay. "Atmosphere" is noisy.

Ohje ! natürlich ists am Flughafen nicht so einfach ein schönes Erlebnis zu gewährleisten, aber hier kommen wir mit Sicherheit nicht mehr her. Qualität der Speisen und Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter waren echt ein Problem

It was a wonderful morning break for us . We found this nice restaurant in the busy Frankfurt Airport and had a great coffee and breakfast there . The waitress who served us ,Wai Tha ,was so nice and pleasant , patiently letting us know what the restaurant had to offer. A little robot bringing our breakfast was such a cute addition :) . We enjoyed our experience & we’ll definitely come back there when we travel thru Frankfurt again.

The pizza is delicious, it’s the only hot food restaurant here while waiting for your flight🫶🏻 Also, it should be good to see a lot of people ordering burgers.

The menu says tip is included. But lady writes on the recipe that suggested is 10% and that it’s not included. Watch out :) Good place for Italian food at Z gates. Smells very very good and service is quite quick but cheating.

Nice food and friendly stay. I was late at night but they were extremely friendly.

Inattentive wait staff just on their phones. If you value your time go somewhere else. The food was okay but not great.

My waiter, Haris, was extremely friendly and nothing was too much to ask. Lovely experience here on my layover.

A big compliment to Haris. He contributed a lot to ensuring that the service was top notch. He looks after the guests in a very friendly and authentic manner. This is very rare in airport restaurants - thank you Haris!

Good food, nice waiter Haris, I recommend a place to eat at the airport :)
