Pizzeria Gio in Kelkheim (Taunus)

We ate here for the first time today. The schnitzels (Viennese and Frankfurt) were delicious, and the fried potatoes and fries were crispy and hot. The green sauce was also very good, though a bit small for the large portion. We received a very friendly welcome, service, and farewell. The menu is clear and varied, not overwhelming. My only complaint is the speed between ordering and receiving our food. It took less than eight minutes. Nevertheless, we will definitely come back.

We had reserved a table but were told to sit there or upstairs. We were sitting in the middle of a horde of noisy children who frequently bumped into the chairs, which didn't exactly contribute to our comfort. The food was really good though 👍

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful spot... Unfortunately, nothing remains of it—except for the view. First, the opening hours were reduced to Fri. - Sun. Unfortunately, even that is no longer reliable. I've walked there from Königstein several times on such days, only to find that it was either closed, or I was more or less politely informed that there was a private party taking place that evening, something about which, of course, there was no previous information online. Then, suddenly, it was no longer possible to pay for drinks in cash. So, you now have to pay for each drink—even if you pick it up yourself—with a card. Cash has already been abolished here in anticipation, and your bank now knows how much beer or wine you've consumed at Rettershof. Cheers! The latest "innovation" is that a smoking ban has been introduced on the "beach"—that is, under the open sky(!). When I asked the reason for this, the hotel manager told me that this step was taken due to occupational health and safety. However, this raises a question: Who is actually supposed to be protected by such a ban? After all, there are no service staff who could even come remotely close to smoke in the open air! Motto: We are politically correct to the core – even for no reason at all. In my opinion, everything is being done here to ruin what is essentially a fine institution. In any case, I will no longer stand in the way of these efforts by generating revenue and will have my drinks served – usually even cheaper – at a table in another beer garden in the future. What a shame!

Cozy atmosphere, delicious and plentiful food, very friendly service, short wait times. Great playground, additional rooms for private parties on the ground floor, plenty of parking nearby. A beautiful nativity scene is currently set up at Rettershof, very close by. It features lovely sayings, figures, etc. Various events organized by the city of Kelkheim take place in this courtyard.

Highly recommended! It's a bit out of the way, but definitely worth the trip. The schnitzels we had were excellent. If you're in the mood for good German food, you absolutely have to stop by. Friendly service and a great location. Prices are perfectly reasonable too. The only suggestion for improvement would be the menus. They're very poorly printed and don't do justice to the rest of the ambiance. A bit confusing as a first impression.
