Lucullus Westhafen in Frankfurt am Main

The service is abysmally bad. After the main course, you have to make yourself heard to be allowed to order anything else. The main course was good, and therefore 2* for the meal. Unfortunately, the dessert was already dried out around the edges. That's unacceptable!! The ambiance is far too showy and has nothing authentic about it. Waiting 20 minutes and asking twice to pay is also unacceptable. The waiter tried to dictate the order in which I would have my drinks. That's unacceptable!!! The price charged is completely inadequate.

Fantastic brunch, very nice service, exceptional!

Favorite date night restaurant. Relaxed chic with excellent Italian dishes.

The food itself tastes okay, but for €20 (at the Fressgass festival), a ridiculous portion, and charging a €5 deposit, and then receiving paper forks is outrageous. I wouldn't recommend it (at least not at the Fressgasfest)!

We had a wonderful evening at Cron am Hafen! The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere cozy and elegant, and the service was excellent. A perfect spot for a relaxing dinner by the water. Highly recommended!

Brunch: Price performance is not right. Service unfriendly

Übelste Abzocke, unangenehme und lästige Kellner, Mann meint fast, die wären provisionsabhängig und Schmerzen in einem deshalb dreimal so viel auf, als man tatsächlich braucht. Die Karte außen vor dem Restaurant entspricht nicht der Karte im Restaurant. Erst nach dem Bestellen der Getränke kommt die Messe-Karte, die erheblich teurer ist. Das an sich wäre noch nicht einmal das Problem, sondern der Versuch, den Gästen immer noch zusätzliche Dinge aufschwätzen, die man gar nicht möchte. Kommt jemand und macht Druck, dass man etwas bestellen soll, das ist mehr als unangenehm. Wir waren zu sechst und keiner würde hier wieder dort hingehen. Die Gespräche mit Rauchen vor dem Restaurant gaben ähnliches. Jeder hat sich dort zumindest am letzten Sonntag sehr unwohl und bedrängt gefühlt. Wenn die günstigste Vorspeise 25 € ist, ist es ohnehin schon etwas merkwürdig. Ich kann von dem Restaurant in jeder Hinsicht nur abraten!

Worst rip-off, unpleasant and annoying waiters, you think they are dependent on commission and therefore talk you into paying three times more than you actually need. The menu outside the restaurant does not correspond to the menu in the restaurant. Only after ordering the drinks does the trade fair card arrive, which is significantly more expensive. That in itself wouldn't even be the problem, but rather the attempt to force guests to do additional things that they don't even want. Every 3 minutes someone comes and puts pressure on you to order something, which is more than unpleasant. There were six of us and no one would ever go there again. The conversations with smoking outside the restaurant revealed something similar. Everyone felt very uncomfortable and harassed there - at least last Sunday. When the cheapest starter is €25, it's a bit strange anyway. I can only advise against the restaurant in every respect!

Yesterday we had dinner at Cron am Hafen. Unfortunately, the visit was a disappointment: three people at the table received their food quickly, while two of us had to wait a full 17 minutes for their salmon lasagne - due to a problem in the kitchen. When the food finally came, the others had already finished it, so we declined it. We were offered an espresso as an apology. The organization as a whole was catastrophic. In the event of such a breakdown, the dishes for all guests should have been timed better. Only a very friendly waitress, who only works there once a week, apologized several times. Mistakes can happen, especially in the kitchen. But the fact that the process was so poorly coordinated is a shame - especially on an occasion that we actually wanted to celebrate.

Great for coffee, unfortunately food disappointing. Service rather mediocre

While the food was quite good, the service leaves a lot to be desired. Friendly is different.

The breakfast buffet is very varied and tasty, just a bit cramped.

Very bad service. Despite the empty glasses, we weren't asked once if we wanted anything else (which is rather unfortunate from the landlord's economic point of view). The food is good and the location is great, but unfortunately the poor service spoils everything.

A delicious meal with good wine in the spring sunshine. Perfect.

The starter accompanied by wine was nice and delicious. Chardony was beautiful. IL Roncal cabernet was an average wine. Sea fish was delicious but too salty. The place is very beautiful. Ambience was good

Very tasty brunch with everything your heart desires. Very high quality dishes and meals.

I visited Cron at the harbor today. Delicious food but very poor service. As always, I wasn't dressed particularly well and was treated like a second-class citizen. Other tables were treated very kindly, hence this review. It's a real shame for the place, as it really does serve delicious food in a prime location, but given the way they treated me, I can't recommend it. Don't judge people by their looks.

Nicely located at the harbor, good Italian food, the service is typically Italian polite

We were invited to brunch at Cron am Hafen today and can highly recommend the restaurant. The food was of very good quality, and the selection was very extensive and creative. We enjoyed the ambiance of the fully packed restaurant. The turnout is an indicator of quality, and we always prefer a full restaurant to an empty one. Cron am Hafen - We'll be back!

It is a very nice and enjoyable place with its beautiful view and dim atmosphere by the river. The place has a full Italian restaurant menu and a wide wine menu. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly and sincere.

Great here! Not cheap but good quality!

Like their meal and tripcal Italian food。 Very nice waitres and funny Near by the river that you can walking there with some sight seeing

They forgot my meal! I was watching while all my friends were eating!

Friendly but too expensive for what it is.

The fish was delicious. The service was a bit introverted but really nice and friendly. The starter was also delicious.

Excellent Italian, very good food, the fish is highly recommended. I'd love to come back.

It was the worst experience I’ve ever had in a restaurant! Upon entering, I perceived the restaurant as being high-end, so I didn’t think it was necessary to take my wallet out of my coat when the waiter took it. Unfortunately, when I was leaving, he handed me my coat and then my wallet, saying it had been on the floor. That caught me off guard, but I still didn’t think anything had happened. After returning to the hotel, I realized that money was missing from my wallet. The next day, I went back and spoke with the waiter who had served us. He defended himself, saying that nothing could have gone missing and that his boss had everything on camera. They never contacted me in two months and didn’t respond to my email. It’s a well-organized scheme by everyone to steal from guests!

The food tasted delicious, but the portions on the weekly menu were so ridiculously small that even a three-year-old wouldn't have been able to get enough. Or it was an undeclared starter, but then the price would be absolutely unreasonable. The service was a disaster. After dinner we sat for almost two hours with a lot of empty glasses and not once was we asked if we would like anything else.

The food is tasty, but the service is very unfriendly.

Small restaurant. Very good, rich buffet at Sunday brunch. Simply great. You definitely have to go there.

Expensive, small portions and poor service The price-performance ratio doesn't fit here at all. The portions – whether pasta or meat – were far too small, but the prices were completely exorbitant. In addition, a red wine with fuel was brought to the table that we had never ordered, but it was still charged €9.50 on the bill. Unfortunately we didn't notice the error until too late. The service was also disappointing: no attention was paid to whether our drinks were empty and generally the service was quite slow. Overall, unfortunately not a good experience.

We went there for dinner, ordered pasta and wine, both were ok, rather unremarkable. The service was bad, I guess if I had spoken German, we would have received a different treatment, but because my party didn't speak it and we ordered in English the server was unfriendly and we felt unwelcome, especially seeing the treatment the tables around us were receiving speaking German. If you do not speak German, do yourself a favor and spend your money somewhere else.

Absolutely unacceptable! On Monday, February 3rd, 2025, we had dinner with 5 people at Cron am Hafen. We had reserved and wanted to celebrate my birthday a bit. My son has been here several times and highly recommended the restaurant to us because everything was delicious. We were looking forward to the carpaccio, which is one of our favorite dishes at every Italian restaurant. We were pleased that you can "upgrade" it here (€5 per person then €23) in terms of size and ordered 4 times, plus a soup. Then came the (horror) thing, as soon as the waiter served the starter, we all noticed a sour smell, the edge of the cut carpaccio was gray, it smelled disgusting. We complained about this immediately and returned it. Then the best thing happened, a cook came out of the kitchen and wanted to tell us that it was normal, that it was dry aged beef, we said it smelled disgusting. Nowhere on the menu did it say anything about dry aged, we showed pictures of it from the last visit, they claimed it wasn't here. No apology, and no other carpaccio either. The main courses and dessert were good. The waiter who served us didn't know much about the drinks and often confused who had ordered what. Since there was little going on and there were probably 5 service employees present, they had enough time to talk loudly in Italian in the immediate vicinity of us, which we also found very annoying. Maybe we were just unlucky, but the chef wouldn't have eaten this carpaccio either.

The food is great...the staff is fantastic...

Das Essen ist mittelmäßig. Für den Preis würde man was besseres erwarten. Es gibt kein Frühstücksmenu nur ein Buffet für 24 Euro was aber den frischen Saft nicht beinhaltet. Die Portionen sind groß, über den Geschmack kann man streiten.

The three of us ate at Cron for the first time this evening. There's only one thing I regret here - not having been here before. Relaxed atmosphere with great food. The service is quick and attentive. A successful evening - not the last for us in the Cron.

Very good Italian. I can only recommend the weekend brunch.

For me it's one of the best Italian restaurants in town, especially the dishes are also Helal and there is also brunch on the weekends... I can only recommend anyone who wants to eat authentic Italian to be in good hands here

We were there on Christmas day which only had a limited menu. Staff seemed reduced which resulted in asking for drinks menu and other things which you normally get automatically. Maybe they had a backup chef. But food was not good and totally overpriced almost like taking advantage of Christmas and making everything more expensive. Two pieces of octopus almost 30 euros, seafood salad no flavor, loup de mer totally overcooked and dry. Their truffle tagliatelle with lots of cheese (?) and one large slice of truffle. A big chunk of filet, no flavor. No resemblance to an Italian restaurant. Cannot recommend at all to go there with a family for dinner.

Location great at the harbor. Unfortunately, the waitresses aren't all that friendly. Food was okay. All the baked goods were very dry, which was a shame.

Very nice restaurant, the service is great and the food is of high quality!

Brunch in a great atmosphere. Great fresh Italian food. Everything your heart desires. We would 100% be happy to come back.

Beautifully located location with high quality food

Fine Italian restaurant, nice attentive staff. With a beer (wine) garden on the Main. Always my pleasure.

The steak was good. Nice ambience. Good location.

Very tasty food and very friendly staff

Really good Italian at the Westhafen. Lunch varies and always delicious. Prices moderate for good quality. The service is always friendly and quick. Gladly again.

The food was fine, but the service was Terrible. We had to wait a very long time, and the waiter looked angry. She didn’t care us at all. She put down the cutlery and the food and drink very rudely. I didn't want to tip her so i just asked to pay. she asked me if I would not tip her. I said no thanks. And she showed me card machine and asked me again „you tip here 5% and 10%“. I said no again. After that she left without even looking at us. We don't just go to the restaurant for food. We go to the restaurant because we want to have a good time. I don't think I will ever visit this restaurant again.

Went on a Sunday afternoon without expectations. It took a long time before someone came to see us for both getting a menu, and having someone taking our order. My wife and me actually almost left. The service itself was also not quite good. We had a choice between 2 tables which both needed to be cleaned, and the waitress clearly wanted us to sit on the less dirty one, but showed her annoyance at us when we asked for other table (which was in the more lively/pretty area). The food was quite good. I had the salmon lasagna and it tasted very good. It was a little bit too creamy for me but that's just my personal taste. Price was fair too. We will probably never go again as it is easy getting the same food quality but in places with a better service unfortunately.

Very very tasty and highly recommended.

Great food, great service and recommendations feon Enzo ... an enjoyable evening indeed.

The restaurant is in the immediate vicinity of our office. I have eaten there several times with work colleagues and also privately (lunch). The quality of the food has always been 1A. Reservations are requested. Please be sure to pay attention to the day menu! You will be “served” and pampered by professionals :D Thanks and keep it up!! P.S. In the photo: Turbot with vegetables from this week's daily menu. Delicious.

Gaumenschmaus - sehr lecker. Bedienung sehr aufmerksam, zuvorkommend und freundlich. Haben mit wiederkommen gedroht :):):)

Italian restaurant in Frankfurt, but where the food is cooked in such a way that it could easily be the upscale classic gastronomy in Florence or Rome. The best ingredients, classic spices and traditional recipes all add up to what is served. The eye eats me.

Just a successful evening. Tagliatelle with truffles prepared in a parmesan wheel. A dream. There are already enough photos in the reviews. I would rather eat and enjoy having a nice evening than constantly taking pictures. Anyone who wants to eat well is very welcome here

We always went there for brunch and we always liked the variety and food quality

Nice location with friendly staff, prices corresponding to the location and the food are higher. But very well prepared and attractively served.

I've been there a few times now for business lunches, but unfortunately the staff is arrogant (not all but most) and not friendly at all. For example: Because we arrived a few minutes later than announced, we were greeted with a reproachful “You’re late,” even though almost all the tables were empty. You don't feel like a guest - on the contrary: you feel like you're a supplicant. Prices are completely excessive and the portions are not adequate. Location is good and you can also sit outside. I will not visit this restaurant again and cannot recommend it.

The tasting menu for two with 13 different dishes was delicious. The service was very friendly, attentive and good. There was no toilet paper in the toilet 😕 You should check this every now and then

Excellent food, tasty, but the waiter had to be persuaded to leave the plate and cutlery on the table when he found out that there were 3 of us and only 2 ordered salad. There was no positive sign on the faces of the staff. Everyone is tired, I understand.

We were in the restaurant for coffee and cake, which we announced before asking for a table. Homemade cakes are advertised on the door. Unfortunately, I can't say much positive about it other than the great location. Coffee and cake came about 30 minutes apart. There was no water with the espresso, which was exceptionally bitter, despite trying very hard to create a classic Italian impression. There were teaspoons for the double espresso, and large soup spoons for the tart and crème brûlée. The waitress was in a bad mood and had no inhibitions about expressing it, be it through (lack of) style or the way things were carelessly slapped onto the table. Splitting hairs isn't my thing, but when I pay €30 for 2x coffee and 2 pieces of dessert, a certain expectation arises, not only in comparison in my own price range, but also with cheaper and better alternatives. I can't rate the starter or main course, but given the grumpy service, I'll forego another visit.

Very good food stands out from slightly different dishes. Spent a very nice evening there.

Very nice restaurant with a view of the boats.

We were there on a Sunday and had brunch, there is a great selection of food. Everything was very tasty. We can only recommend this restaurant. Gladly again.

We have never experienced such poor service. The waiter was unfriendly and even rude, we waited a long time for a cup of coffee, dishes were only cleared away grumpily when asked. While pouring the water, the waiter jostled me with his elbow, so I had trouble holding on to the large bottle. In response to my shock, the waiter shouted “Sorry”. - The food was mediocre, the salads tasted bland, labeling the food would have been useful for allergy sufferers, the individual components were not always recognizable. We cannot recommend this restaurant.

Super nice and cute restaurant right on the Main. The service was very, very friendly and attentive. We'll be back!

Stylish ambience. Great location near the water. Good cuisine, too very good, lacks a bit of taste.

Our favorite Italian restaurant right around the corner! The Cron always offers excellent cuisine, the pasta is fresh and the wines are great. The menu is small, but the weekly menu offers variety! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the team is incredibly warm and attentive. No matter whether it's for a spontaneous evening or a special dinner - I always feel welcome and in good hands here. Unreserved recommendation!

We were satisfied with the service and the food 👌🏻 Prices were high, but not crazy high considering the top location - this is important to mention, as many gastro units in Frankfurt went completely overboard with their pricing policy over the span of the last 2 years.

For me the best Italian in Frankfurt. Always fresh and high quality products. Very original changing card. Keep it up!!

Wir haben laut Empfehlung des Hauses Lasagne al forno bestellt, bekommen haben wir ein lauwarmes, matschiges , übel schmeckendes Fertigprodukt al Mikrowelle. Das Essen war überteuert und ungenießbar. Ein Wort der Entschuldigung kommt nicht. Ich kann dieses Lokal nicht empfehlen, es gibt bei gleichem Preisniveau bessere und freundlichere.

We had lunch today in Cron am Hafen in Frankfurt Westhafen and ordered lasagna al forno twice from the daily menu. We received a lukewarm, mushy, bad-tasting finished product of very poor quality. Lukewarm and mushy, that's all the microwave could do. This lukewarm finished product bore no resemblance to an original Italian crispy fresh lasagne al forne. We each ate less than half, the indefinable food was so bad. We paid 42 euros for this inedible fast food. My assessment of this restaurant: there are better and cheaper fast food restaurants. A big minus!!

A nice Italian restaurant along the River Main. The atmosphere is very nice when you use the terrace seats at dusk in summer!

Sehr schönes Ambiente und leckeres Essen, allerdings wird man hier nicht beachtet und wartet auf die Bedienung und Getränke mindestens 30 Minuten. Auf das Esssen wartet man noch 45 Minuten. Die Tische stehen so nah zueinander, dass man jedes Gespräch unerwünscht mitbekommt. Leider muss ich di Punkte abziehen..

Very nice atmosphere and delicious food, but people don't pay any attention to you and wait at least 30 minutes for service and drinks. You wait another 45 minutes for the food. The tables are so close to each other that you don't want to overhear every conversation. Unfortunately I have to deduct these points...

very friendly, the wine and food recommendations were great, the birthday cake we had registered for was great.

Very high quality and delicious food. Friendly service and great views of the Main and the Westhafen. Priced higher, but appropriate for the outstanding quality.

Parking difficult (rewe opposite) otherwise nice location; Quite loud inside.

Very tasty food, cozy atmosphere with a view of the Main. Friendly staff, we'd love to come back!!!

Food was very tasty. But unfortunately it was very loud in the restaurant.

Nice little restaurant with good cuisine, well suited for a great lunch break right at the Westhafen

We were there for Mother's Day and had brunch. Large selection... The service was very friendly! I just found the one at reception (a bit strong) unfriendly. He didn't really listen to us and almost forced us to accept the place he had chosen... I didn't think that was okay at all. It would be sunny and too warm outside, my mother could get into problems!?!... we would have to take the table around the corner inside (his tone was very borderline).... he probably noticed his misbehavior later and came to us came, he was friendlier. But anyway, I'm writing my review. This is not how you treat guests. This has never happened to me before... There are better restaurants with better manners.

We went there for a cappuccino and the tiramisu. I also tried the brunch there before. All in all excellent. The cappuccino is world class!

Good quality Italian cuisine. Warm and pleasant service. After three visits, it's still a pleasure. Safe bet 😊

Very good service. The problem in German society when it comes to services is the expectations of most customers. This is what the other person thinks is being bought. Based on my own experience and approach to service, I was treated and served extremely well. A tip: stay at eye level.

Nice Italian restaurant right on the banks of the Main. Attentive host and very good Italian cuisine. I can recommend it and you should make a reservation if you want to sit outside.

Very nicely located restaurant on Frankfurt's West Harbor. Great pasta and very good service. We were very satisfied.

Nice restaurant by the water. The toilets can be reached via steps in the basement. The pasta was good.

We had a good pasta, but the entrance offers are a total rip off. We had the anti pati starters for 19€ pp. very cheep stuff, bad quality and super small portions, I would not recommend that! Make sure to only order pasta and nothing else.

We went to this restaurant for the first time last night, found it very pretentious and the lasagna tasted warmed up. Can't recommend the restaurant.

My favorite Italian in Frankfurt. Perfect food in quality and taste. Nice location, clean and well-kept pleasant service. Unbeatable in terms of quality and price-performance.

Brunch on Sundays) highly recommended, service is excellent and the ambience in Frankfurt is unique!

The pasta was good. The waiter tried to sell us the most expensive stuff and wasn’t too nice. The worst thing was the anti pasti: DO NOT ORDER THAT, it’s a total rip off for 19€ per person. It was a very little portion and not good at all. Good pasta, but the rest is a tourist trap.

Unfriendly staff who get upset when you ask for the bill for the third time after 20 minutes

Unfortunately in my case the service was very arrogant. The prices are extremely high, so I expect either larger portions or better quality. You sit close together and it is very loud for conversation. I can also go to the Losteria a few meters further and only pay a fraction. Unfortunately the price-performance ratio is not right.

Simply fantastic. Super nice atmosphere. The food was excellent. The service was very courteous and helpful and gave good advice.

Now as a start: I am Italian myself and I pretend to be able to cook. I do not go often because it is a bit pricey so when I go I have some expectations. It was a Wednesday with a friend visiting from abroad. Service was correct and friendly, table was quiet. Ambience also nice and stylish. Food was very good, mixed starter and tagliatelle al tartufo. Wine pretty expensive. Frankfurt prices. All together again a good experience !

Authentic Italian food at it's best

Enttäuschend und unpersönlich. Dass der Gastronomie-Chef uns wegen eines fehlenden Gast 20 EUR "No Show" auch noch auf die stattliche Rechnung gesetzt hat (wir waren zu 3 statt zu 4), spricht für das Gästeverständnis und die Kultur im Cron am Hafen. Die beharrliche Argumentation mit Hinweis auf Kleingedrucktes auch. Insofern: Nicht empfehlenswert aus unserer Sicht. Es gibt sicherlich in Frankfurt empfehlenswertere Brunch-Locations - ohne No Show-Gebühr auf der Rechnung.

We were there for breakfast brunch. Very large selection. There was nothing to complain about.
