No. 16 in Frankfurt am Main

I know the number. 16 for 30 years now. The prices of the portions seem expensive at first glance, but two people can easily eat it. I ate my best fillet steak here several times. The tiramisu is also the best (all dishes are sensational). Anyone stopping in Frankfurt should definitely reserve a table and dine here (warning, it's like sex here: slow enjoyment is the most lasting and best way. So please bring enough time for a nice evening)

Best Italian....Sardian restaurant in Frankfurt. Honestly insanely amazing. I once went on a Harry Potter Walking tour through London and this is on the same level. If pizza quattro formaggi was a restaurant, this would be it. Make sure to reserve in advance.

A very tasty Italian restaurant in Frankfurt-Bornheim. There is no pizza, just delicious authentic Italian cuisine served in pots. The portions are very generous, you can also have the leftovers packed up so you can enjoy them again at home. The appetizer platter was very varied and offered more than enough food for two people. You have to wait a while for the main courses, as the menu suggests, but you will be rewarded with very tasty pasta. The service was courteous and friendly, and the atmosphere in the restaurant invited you to linger. It's nice to be able to try such authentic cuisine instead of the classic pizza-pasta Italians. It is essential to make a reservation as the restaurant is very busy - even during the week.

Top Italy 100% Definitely the best restaurant in Frankfurt, unique and quality dishes with large portions and very fresh ingredients. The wine list is spectacular and the environment is one of a kind!! A culinary experience that will be difficult to forget.

Super tasty and great service 👌🏽

Very nice place, with an excellent menu! Just a small suggestion: Could you please consider to change the letters font in the menu? It was very difficult for all of us to read the menu, and we certainly lost a lot of information! It’s a pity! Your plates are simply fantastic but we couldn’t “read” them! 😌

Always green, TOP! Food, wine, portions... price/performance... excellent Sardinian cuisine... recommended and original!

N 16 is a very nice, private restaurant with a warm and youthful atmosphere. Rubén is a wonderful person, helpful and friendly, in short, the perfect host! Pretty good food, quick and friendly service. Well done!

It was so perfect. Big portions, good food and best services. One of the best Italian in town.

Fantastic food, great wine and top service. That's how it should be!

Very good pasta! It took a long time to bring the food but it was still very delicious :)

The food and service are top. Only the tables outside are much too small and there is a lack of decoration, tablecloths and good dishes. You don't feel like you're in an upscale restaurant. The eye also eats.

Our favorite Italian 🍷👌❤️ Authentic, well-prepared Sardinian food. Great wine, warm owners and simply quality food that we always want more of.

We have been regular guests for years and always will be. We love the host, the food (especially the world's best salad), the hospitality - everything.

Authentic Sardinian cuisine run by lovely Sardinian. Portions are mostly huge so bear that in mind. Try the lamb and the seafood pasta!

It feels like coming home. All dishes are very high quality. Service sensational. This is now a rarity. Absolute recommendation

Huge portions, very tasty. Recommend the Bomboloni pasta

Very authentic and very tasty Italian

Wonderful! Excellent restaurant with typical Sardinian dishes and generous portions (leftovers can be taken home). I ordered the Sardinian gnocchi, the fregola, a mixed starter and we drank the house wine: I was with some colleagues and they all thanked me for choosing the restaurant! Thanks also to the service for being really kind, as an Italian I can really recommend this place! I will definitely come back!

Super delicious restaurant. Note for smokers Smoking is also prohibited outside, but that wasn't a problem for me.

Pasta alla mom! Like a vacation in Italy.

It quickly became my favorite place! The service is A+. The food just like that! And the best thing is the food! Kind regards, John

Glasses of wine are given as full gifts as they were 20 years ago

Probably no longer an insider tip, but still something special. Excellent food and the concept is not run of the mill. One of my tip recommendations.

By far the best Italian Sardinian restaurant in Frankfurt. Great service incredibly good food

As always, delicious food, good service and a pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately the selection of open wines is small

Great authentic Italian carbonara. Only recommended!

Personal food experience, 5/5 stars possible

The best noodles in town! I always like to go there to enjoy the Sardinian cuisine. The steak is also very tasty and tender. There's nothing I couldn't recommend!

Anyone who wants a break from the run-of-the-mill Italian restaurant. Sardinian recipes, super tasty, fresh, homemade, great, young service team. Full plates, full glasses, full of Sardinian life. Highly recommended. Gladly again!

I ordered vongole pasta, which is not commonly found in Germany, and it was delicious, but not special. The wine was delicious, and I was impressed by the wine poured in a full glass, saying it was done the traditional way by my grandfather. I am taking off one star because the price is too expensive.

Ristorante 16 can be found in the middle of Bornheim and parallel to the lively 'Bergerstrasse'. In a quiet location with parking options. The food tastes good. The portions are enough for two people (which justifies the somewhat high prices). The staff are friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is very cozy and nicely decorated.

As always, great, large portions, good quality, friendly service, what more could you want.

We will definitely avoid Ristorante No. 16 in the future!!! As the innkeeper already said, there are many other Italian restaurants in Frankfurt. Luckily, yes, and many of them are very accommodating and service-oriented. Simply had the worst experience here. The chemistry with the innkeeper just wasn't right. We wanted to have a cozy meal with the family on the occasion of my big birthday. My evening was ruined by the innkeeper's attitude. The food was good, but nothing extraordinary. Some dishes were too salty. Service was quick and the service staff tried hard. The main thing I see as problematic is the reception and the way we treat guests. We were there 30 minutes earlier. Yes, of course it's too early, but it had to be that way. However, no one spoke to us for 20 minutes. No You are there too early, we don't have capacity, but you are welcome to wait here or maybe you can't come back in 10-15 minutes etc. Zero communication! More and more guests came and you just stood in the narrow entrance area. Also with a stroller and a sleeping child. When the table was almost ready, at reservation time, I went ahead and said that we would go to the table because I didn't want to stand there with the stroller any longer. I was told that it wasn't possible and that we had arrived too early and they were trying to get everything ready for us. The reaction was just excessive and loud. What doesn't work at all is to switch to Italian and call myself arrogant. I have never experienced such indifference and arrogance from a restaurateur.

This was the worst Italian restaurant I've been to in my entire life. It had no taste and lacked “love”. The staff wasn't particularly nice or helpful either. The ambience was mediocre and standard. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it.

I was very grateful for the information in the reviews that the portions are very large and are best shared. Then the prices justify themselves again. The quality was also outstanding. Reservation is a must, at least on weekends. I just don't like these 2 table times (6 p.m. - 8 p.m., 8 p.m. - XX p.m.), you either have to eat super late or get "kicked out" and have to end the evening somewhere else (unfortunately there are hardly any restaurants that don't handle this) . You can only pay with card from 50€. Hence 1 star deduction.

We've been eating there every now and then for about 3 years and we're thrilled every time. The food is always the same, great quality and everyone is very friendly and attentive. We look forward to our visit weeks in advance and have never been disappointed. Thanks for your great work :)

Great food, good portions and very cozy. Try the tiramisu! 👍🏼

This is mainly about food. When it's full it's loud and the ambience is quite plain. We shared a starter of Sardinian specialties. Delicious. My rigatoni with suckling pig was wonderfully al dente and very tasty. Huge portion in a tin pot. There are only 2 average open wines of the quality country wines without any special character. A bit too expensive for 7 euros from a 2l bottle. As far as I know, the variety of Sardinian dishes are not available anywhere else in France. Tip: simply share dishes, then you can manage the portions and the prices will be more affordable.

Great restaurant with very tasty pasta and even better staff.

Three words to describe this restaurant: Warm, delicious, home-like. You get authentic Italian food and the portions are really good!

I've wanted this much-lauded Sardinian restaurant for at least 30 years. I've only just managed it after moving to Löwengasse. It's certainly nice to sit on the terrace here in summer. Overall, the inside wasn't a good fēng shu for me, the yellow light bothered me somehow. We had ordered a table for our first yelp meeting, and due to some short-term hospital absences, it wasn't a problem to downsize. Despite the notoriously high prices, the house was still packed. 7 € for 0.2 l house wine white or red. Of course, as is well known, given to the brim. The staff is familiar with surface tensions, went really quickly and barely missed a drop. I didn't find the wines particularly remarkable. However, I was really pleased with the Starnberger Helle in the right Willibecher for €5. Bottle of Vöslauer water tasted good (€8). The portions are overall oversized, but look like a smaller amount in the large pot (which is often served on the table). I would have liked the antipasti mistu (€23), extremely tasty. The homemade sausages deserve special mention: heavenly and perfectly seasoned. I even finished 2/3 of the main course (€32). Extraordinary and delicious: Freguledda was the name of the dish: fregola (roasted durum wheat semolina that reminded me of large pearl barley) with fresh vongole veraci (clams), bottarga (Sardinian dried caviar), garlic, onions, basil, fresh tomatoes, parsley, a dash of white wine.

The best Italian place in Germany hands down, top-notch food and service make this a must have experience in Frankfurt, I hope there were more restaurants like this in the world

The 3rd generation is now working with us. The food is still great and we enjoy going there. The portions aren't quite as huge as they once were, but that doesn't have to be the case. Reservations are recommended if it is full as the acoustics are relatively loud. Lovingly managed...

Sorry but that was the worst service. It was insisted that we had to order a menu with 11 people. That's why one person had to leave the birthday group. Then we were hardly looked after and we sat there mainly without drinks. Generally unfriendly and arrogant :( The food is okay, but is completely ruined by the whole experience and really isn't worth it.

Excellent pizza, fresh and quality products, helpful and friendly guys. I recommend top pizza in Frankfurt

Unfortunately, it didn't meet our expectations - the staff was condescending and the prices were more than reasonable... I've eaten better quality in many restaurants here and was treated much more courteously! I wasn't valued as a customer here - it's a shame. Will avoid this restaurant in the future.

Wow! A great Italian in the heart of Bornheim. The pasta is incredibly tasty and very filling. It's enough to share a starter, a pasta and a dessert. The pasta is made in-house. Service is very friendly. Gladly again!

Der beste Italiener in ganz Frankfurt! Ich kann es jedem empfehlen dort mindestens einmal essen zu gehen, ansonsten verpasst ihr was. Kleiner Tipp: direkt beim Bestellen des Essens ein Tiramisu reservieren, sonst sind die ganz schnell weg. ;) Auch wenn das Restaurant etwas teurer ist, lohnt es sich alle mal ;)

Leider die falschen Räumlichkeiten. Nr. 16 war ursprünglich ein kleiner, Familien Betrieb in gemütlichen Räumen. Dahin sollte die Familie zurück

Frankfurt ohne Nr 16? Das wäre wie Paris ohne Eiffelturm.

Portionen werden über die Jahre immer kleiner.

Die Nr. 16 ist in der Weihnachtszeit immer wieder ein Highlight in der Frankfurter Gastronomie. Sehr schön und stilvoll geschmückt erzeugt es eine besondere weihnachtliche Atmosphäre. Der Service rund um Laura und Vincenzo ist aufmerksam und immer mit einem Lächeln unterwegs. Qualität vom Essen ist gut aber auch nicht mehr. Bei den Preisen könnte man etwas mehr erwarten. Pasta Murdega für 2 bestellt und ausreichend satt geworden. Der Tiramisu ist in Frankfurt der Beste den ich kenne.

Ein unfassbar fantastisches Restaurant. Jedes Mal ein Erlebnis. Es ist einfach immer wieder schön hier zu Essen. Die Qualität ist hervorragend. Geführt von 4 Geschwistern die jeden Besuch besonders machen. Die Portionen sind zum Teilen gedacht. Bestellt euch ein Glas Wein,auch dies wird hier zum Spektakel. Wer einen tollen Abend erleben möchte ist hier sehr gut aufgehoben.

Ein wahres Juwel für sardische Gaumenfreuden! Das Ristorante Nr.16 überzeugt mit authentischem Charme und einer herzlichen Atmosphäre. Die Gastgeber sind perfekte Gastgeber, und die Zubereitung der Speisen spiegelt Liebe und Leidenschaft wider. Ein echtes Zuhause-Gefühl – hier wird Familientradition mit köstlichem Essen vereint.

Top Restaurant in Frankfurt. Absolut lecker, ganz tolles Ambiente und grandioses Team...

Das 16 ist fantastisch: Ich habe mich wie auf Sardinien im Urlaub bei der Familie gefühlt. Tiramisu schmeckt köstlich, habe ich so gut noch nie gegessen!

Was soll man zu einem Klassiker sagen, dem man seit Jahrzehnten an drei verschiedenen Lokationen treu geblieben ist? Unverändert sympathisch, unvergleichlich mit irgendeinem anderen Restaurant, freundlich-lustig und extrem lecker! Hoffentlich kann ich noch ein paar weitere Jahrzehnte kommen….

Leckeres Essen und Wein mit Oberflächenspannung...

Bornheimer Institution. Grandiose sardische Küche - liebevoller Familienbetrieb. 110 % empfehlenswert!

Der Name bezieht sich wahrscheinlich auf die Hausnummer, denn im Ranking der besten Restaurants sollte es weiter oben stehen - zumindest meiner Meinung nach. Das erste was auffällt: toller Service - die Mitarbeiter sind alle sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und rücksichtsvoll. Was man auf den Fotos schon erahnen kann, wovon man aber trotzdem überrascht wird: ein Glas Wein ist wirklich ein Glas Wein. Gefüllt bis an den Rand. Und dann das tolle Essen: so viel leckeres auf der Karte, da fällt die Auswahl echt schwer. Was man aber definitiv probieren sollte: die hausgemachten Würstchen („Pizzahonga“). Bisschen wie eine sehr leckere Grillbratwurst mit italienischem Chimichurri - unglaublich gut! Also unbedingt nehmen, kriegt man auch einzeln. Die Auswahl der Hauptgerichte fällt schwer: viele leckere Sachen, mich hat besonders die Gnocchetti mit frischem Wild überzeugt. Aber Achtung: die Portionen sind echt groß, fast eher zum Teilen geeignet. Das Personal packt Reste aber auch gerne zum mitnehmen ein. Auch der finale Test, der Espresso, wurde mit Bravour bestanden. Ergo, gerade im Sommer mit der Möglichkeit, auf der tollen Terrasse zu sitzen, eine klare Empfehlung.

Riesige Nudel-Portionen und dazu sehr lecker, super freundlicher Service, was will man mehr? Preislich fair, wenn man die Portionsgröße bedenkt. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Keine (Debit)-Kartenzahlung möglich! EC-Karten werden abgeschafft und die meisten Banken haben diese schon ausgetauscht. Wir hatten Glück, dass wir noch genug Bargeld dabei hatten. Dafür gab es dann aber noch einen gratis Limoncello :)

Family-run Excellent Italian restaurant in Frankfurt serving traditional dishes. Service was super kind and food was great, only a bit salty to our taste. Definitely worth visiting.

Große Portionen. Wir haben unsere Bestellte Teller durch 3 geteilt.

Sehr, sehr schönes Restaurant. Die Gerichte sind wirklich sehr lecker und viel. Man wird definitiv satt (und glücklich).

seit 15 Jahren immer wieder das beste! Portionen (salat/pasta) sind groß, einfach zu zweit bestellen. tiramisu ist ein muss! bestellt euch mal ein Glas Rotwein/Hauswein - einfach mal machen...! 2022 heute wieder da... ein fest wie immer nun seit 20 jahren regelmäßig hier...! 2023-10 immer gut

Great Italian restaurant! Best seafood pasta spot you can have in Frankfurt

Schönes Ambiente, das einlädt auf einen tollen Abend. Wir wurden freundlich und zügig empfangen. Die Karte ist umfangreich und dauert eine Weile Überblick zu gewinnen. Bei der Auswahl vom Wein wurde Unterstützung angeboten. Die Gerichte sind gut ausgeführt und geschmackvoll auf ganzer Linie. Hochwertige Zutaten kommen hier zum Einsatz. Im gesamten eine absolute Empfehlung, Preis-Leistung passt. Danke für den schönen Abend.

Sind schon bestimmt das 20x bei diesem Italiener und vorweg. Es war immer super. Das Personal, das Ambiente ist einfach perfekt. Das Essen war auch eigentlich immer perfekt. Aber diesmal hatten wir die wie fast immer die Bombolonis und ein Thunfischsalat. Die Portion der Bombolonis ist kleiner geworden. Wenn man richtig Hunger hat dann eher für 1 Person , was bei gleich gebliebenem Preis nicht ganz so cool ist. Der Thunfischsalat war zwar lecker, jedoch musste man den Thunfisch da drin suchen. Das war früher auch nicht so. Bei dem Preis leider schade. Und ich bin noch der Meinung das die Fleischqualität der Bombolonis etwas nachgelassen hat. Ich weiß nicht ob von Rinderhack auf gemischtes gewechseltes wurde oder ob es die Fleischqualität an sich war. In allem aber immernoch das beste Italienische Restaurant was Pasta etc. angeht in Frankfurt. Hoffe es wird was das Essen angeht wieder wie früher. Werden weiterhin dort hin gehen.

Sehr gutes Essen und freundliches Personal

Sehr sehr lecker, Pasta, Salat und das Tiramisu! Super freundlicher Service. Hatten reserviert, sehr zu empfehlen

Ist wohl schon Kult der Laden, gutes Essen mit zu großen Portionen und Weingläser die bis zum Rand voll sind. Ehrlicher Laden, immer wieder gerne!

Mit Abstand die beste italienische Küche in Frankfurt. Das Restaurant ist jeden Abend voll und ohne Reservierung bekommt man kein Platz. Leider gibt es zu wenig Kellner und es dauert bis man seine Getränke etc bekommt aber das gute Essen macht das wieder weg. Die Portion sind sehr groß und eine reicht für fast 2 Personen. Die Pizza honga (Würste) sind klasse und der Rest ist auch sehr sehr gut. Immer wieder gerne hier

Super lecker und riesige Portionen. Man sollte aufjedenfall Hunger mitbringen wenn man hier her kommt.

Hervorragendes Essen, sehr guter, freundlicher Service, angenehme Plätze draussen und drinnen - immer gerne wieder.
