Pizzeria Gio in Kelkheim (Taunus)

You just have to read the previous reviews, which in my opinion are absolutely correct. Now there is also the fact that on Sunday, September 22nd, 2024 (in bright sunshine and 24 degrees) the website says: open. Can't it be clearly communicated on the website that the season is apparently over?! It's so amateurish how this beautiful place is run.

I was there today as part of a large group. The service was unbeatably good and the food (schnitzel with mushroom sauce, fries and salad) was very tasty. Fries nice and crispy, schnitzel well seasoned, the sauce with fresh mushrooms and a delicious side salad. The whole thing at a really humane price (16.50). A clear recommendation from me!

We were there with the family for coffee and cake on Sunday afternoon. Very tasty and large selection of cakes. The service was super nice and quick, even though the restaurant was very busy. We would be happy to go to the cheerful countryman again.

We held our wedding dinner here after the wedding and booked a table for about 11 people. So a small frame. Luckily we ate there again a week before and verified the reservation for the table we wanted, because it wasn't noted ;-) The table was set with white tablecloths and green napkins, the food was very good, especially the rump steak is really recommended. The service was "reduced". People did not actively ask what they would like to drink or whether they would like anything else. You had to take it into your own hands or hold on to the water provided. When it was empty, no one asked if anything else was wanted. The boss is actually very nice - now comes the big BUT that is brewing in me and prompts me to write the review: My daughter baked a wedding cake for us and brought it there in advance. That was a very nice surprise but they actually charged her 25.00 euros so that we could get cake plates and forks! She then had to fetch the plates as well as the forks, which were not automatically handed over. We understand that the innkeeper prefers to sell his own cake, but a homemade wedding cake is an exception for such an occasion, isn't it?! If he had been smart here, he could have sold a lot more coffee and drinks in general, but we hardly had a chance to order them because no one was checking on us. That disappointed us. We are Kelkheimers and wanted to enjoy our wedding meal in “our Gimbi”. We really expected a little more sensitivity and commitment. Then we would have stayed there longer. All in all, it felt a bit "hands-on". Too bad :-(

This was our first time at the Rote Mühle. It was a lovely outdoor area. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. The fried potatoes were top-notch. Delicious apple wine. Dogs are welcome, too. We'll definitely be back. 😊
