Pizzeria & Ristorante Franco in Linz am Rhein

Incredible food! I came here as a tourist to see this town and ended up eating the best tasting Italian food. The staff is very friendly. I highly recommend it. I'll definitely be back someday!

Very nice service, dishes served very quickly, tasted very good and we highly recommend and will definitely come back here. Thank you

Excellent sole prepared to perfection! A real pleasure.

Whoever invented this Pizza Franco is a genius. I've never eaten such a great pizza. Simply amazing

We had dinner here on a short trip to the Rhine (accommodation recommendations). Very tasty pasta and starters at reasonable prices. Plus good service and a free parking space right in front of the door.

Can recommend this restaurant with a clear conscience Was there for the first time yesterday Food was super tasty 😋, Keller was very nice and accommodating 5 stars

Really great food. Fast service. We were there spontaneously.

We are completely satisfied! The food was excellent, the location was very attractive, the service was exclusive - and yet the hospitality was pleasantly down-to-earth and familiar. We didn't miss anything.

Simply delicious. Alternating weekly menu. Super friendly staff and very nice to children. You feel in great hands here and it's always something special to eat here.

Very nice location. Guests and staff are very friendly. The food, starter arrived quite quickly. Price-performance is completely justified. Especially in this day and age. I would love to come back here again and again.

A great local 😁 again and again

Ein ganz wunderbares Restaurant, in dem es der Inhaber geschafft hat, eine Truppe von Personal um sich zu scharen, die so arbeiten, als würde ihnen der Laden selbst gehören. Zu jederzeit aufmerksam, schnell, gastfreundlich. Das Essen großartig. Man fühlt sich nicht als Gast, sondern als Familienmitglied. Vielen Dank für den wundervollen Abend!

I was almost astonished to find an Italian restaurant in a place that is very popular with tourists that offers high-quality and quantitatively more than satisfactory food at reasonable prices. The service is absolutely customer-oriented and always friendly. Also fully recommended for larger groups!

Excellent Italian cuisine, attentive service, a little more space between the tables would be desirable

We went here for dinner on a Thursday evening. Vitello tonno, the lasagna (with meat) and the pizza parma & rocket as well as the tiramisu were all very tasty and recommended. The service was very attentive and friendly. We felt extremely comfortable and can highly recommend the restaurant.

Pleasant atmosphere, very good service, very friendly and absolutely tasty food including wine accompaniment. After a week we went here for dinner a second time.

Been to Franco's for a long time...and will be there again soon! The pizza was super tasty, nice and crispy edge, tasty and well topped, top service, nice, hardworking and accommodating! Restaurant very busy, you should definitely make a reservation (Friday, 7 p.m.).

We have been here several times and are always pleased with the good quality of the food and the attentive service. Everything on the menu and daily menu is recommended. The price-performance ratio is perfectly fine. We would love to come back (always).

Very pleasant atmosphere, good food (best TiramiSu) and very attentive service. Parking options at the house.

Very tasty food, I can only recommend it. I ate the bruschetta there as a starter and had the tagliatelle with venison goulash and red cabbage as my main course.

We highly recommend the tiramisu to everyone – we've rarely eaten such a delicious tiramisu! It's truly fantastic. The pizzas (salami pikante) were also delicious, but could have been a bit larger for the price! The service was super friendly and attentive. The interior could be a bit more Italian, but that's secondary to the delicious food. All in all, we highly recommend this restaurant. P.S. The drinks menu could use some non-alcoholic cocktails. Not everyone drinks alcohol, but they still want something special (not cola/juice/etc.) to toast with!

Bei einem Bummel quer durch die Altstadt kamen wir an mehreren Lokalen vorbei, alle leer…Dann fragten wir einen Einheimischen und der empfahl uns diesen Italiener. Voll fast ausgebucht und das Mittags. Nudeln mit Scampi und Muscheln, wirklich gut. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Ate for the umpteenth time, always perfect.

Very delicious food, each more delicious than the other. I want to try them all 😋 and cozy and comfortable atmosphere and service

Top address with impeccable food. Unfortunately there is little sound insulation... but you're happy to accept that. Photo shows an artistically captured decoration in the guest room.

Nice Italian restaurant with good pizza in an upscale atmosphere. Very child friendly. There is almost no alternative in Linz am Rhein.

Nice restaurant, modern interior, large windows with a view of the Rhine. If the weather is good, you can also eat from the terrace. Delicious food and very nice service!

Highly recommended, all in all great.

Excellent food in a cozy atmosphere. The service is very friendly and accommodating.

Perfect. No further explanation is necessary.

Very friendly staff, delicious food and a great view.

There were 12 of us today and everyone was thrilled! Very tasty 😋

I ordered a Salamino Piccante pizza to pick up. My goodness, it's delicious. But you have to search for a long time in the area to find a similarly good one.

We had to change our plans for a dinner with 20 people at another restaurant at short notice. With a quick call to “Franco” we got a table for all of us straight away. We immediately felt welcome and very comfortable there. Although the restaurant was very well staffed, the staff were always on their toes from start to finish, friendly, attentive and always concerned about our well-being. We got our food from so many people at the same time. We were all very satisfied, enjoyed the evening and will definitely come back.

The town of Linz on the Rhine receives a lot of tourism by buses and excursion boats

The food tasted good without being exceptional. The service was great, friendly and humorous.

After the Festival of Fantasy at Drachenburg Castle we were still looking for a restaurant and somehow we spontaneously ended up in Linz. So we ended up at Franco almost by chance and because the online reviews were consistently good, we decided to stop there. We received a very friendly and courteous welcome and - even though it was packed outside - we were given a table on the beautiful, large outdoor terrace after waiting less than two minutes. Here you will definitely have a beautiful view of the Rhine during the day. The menu isn't terribly extensive, but there's a nice selection of everything and something for everyone. The food was delivered quickly and tasted incredibly good. I also think these were the best gnocchi I've ever eaten anywhere. The service is always friendly and attentive. The price is also absolutely fair. A very clear recommendation from me. If we come back to Linz again, we will definitely be guests here again.

It was my first time there and I was very impressed with everything. The food was fantastic, the service was attentive and very friendly and the view later at sunset made for a successful evening. I'll be back.

Very well eaten, nice friendly service. Nice ambience

Very nice Italian. The outside terrace is great to sit on. We've been there a few times. Always very satisfied 😀

Great Italian. Delicious pizza. Good wines. Delicious fish. Thanks.

Auf der außergewöhnlich schönen, großen Terrasse, sitzt man an den sehr fein eingedeckten Tischen bestens. Leckere Scampis als Vorspeise und Seezunge als Hauptgang waren top. Sehr guter Service!

The ambience takes you back to the 70s. The location has been beautifully decorated and makes a clean impression. The staff is very courteous and attentive. You also have a view of the Rhine from the roof terrace.

Rarely good👍 and consistently!!! It's almost a shame that we haven't eaten at this restaurant in 8 years. Back then my wife and I decided on a pizza (oh what a surprise 😂) and it has remained firmly in our memory as one of the best. That's why we consciously chose a different dish this time to broaden our experience. My wife chose sea bass fillet with white wine herb sauce potatoes and vegetables and I chose a vegetable lasagne. And both direct hits!!! My honest opinion: I believe that no matter what you order here, you will always hit the jackpot. The chef of this kitchen is a true master. The same applies to the service area. The staff is polite, charming and cheerful, which contributes to a relaxed, cozy atmosphere, which is further enhanced by the wonderful ambience and the magnificent view of the Rhine. The prices are a little higher, but more than reasonable for the quality offered. Also worth mentioning is the particularly large guest room and the huge roof terrace, which can be free or covered depending on the weather. So it's also perfect for larger groups who would like to eat together. Anyone who chooses the Franco is doing everything right.

One of the worst pizzerias there is. It's better to go to the snack bar to get a pizza, at least the dough isn't a cookie from the freezer.

Nach einer Wanderung sind wir zufällig hier vorbeigekommen. Kurz und knapp: das Essen sowie der Service ist absolut Top! Das Ambiente ist sehr schön. Jederzeit gerne wieder

Very attractive restaurant. Beautiful, well-kept atmosphere, very friendly, courteous service. Bruscetta, Primitivo and Spaghetti aglio olio perfetto.

Long waiting times, lasagna average

We ordered on the go and paid on the spot and it tasted very good 👍 and top service 👍😌 keep it up 😊

Incredibly delicious food with a great ambiance

good pizza in a great atmosphere

We can only recommend this restaurant. 👍 From the service to the food to the ambience. Excellent

dined there for the first time. Haven't regretted it! Very good food, excellent service. Price/performance is absolutely right. Highly recommended! I will definitely dine there again soon.

Very beautiful here . We were even allowed to come in with a dog, which lay very well under the table. The waitress was super nice and even joked with us. Everyone was super nice. Food really tasty. Good portions. Gladly again.

Very good selection, food, drinks and service are GREAT.

Food great, service great and thanks to the pleasant volume you can have a good conversation, even though it was busy last time. Full recommendation. 👍🏻

Wonderful food and very friendly service

I love it ♥️. Friendly, tasty and great selection. The restaurant is very cozy and the staff is very accommodating 🍀

4 times 5 stars. It was very, very tasty, nice atmosphere and very nice staff. Thank you

Today, as I have so many times in the past, I had an excellent meal at Gino's. Since I had drunk one glass of wine too many, I ordered a taxi to go home. After they weren't there after 45 minutes despite asking three times, Gino came to the door, got his car and drove me 10 km home. More service is not possible. Thank you Gino, one star for Linz.☺️

Such a great restaurant, warmly run by wonderful people who really know their craft. You always feel welcome. The service is exceptionally good, super friendly, the food is plentiful and tastes of the highest standard. We've been enjoying going there for years. After the increase in VAT, prices have increased minimally, but hardly the profit or the actual earned income of the restaurant has increased, which should be greatly appreciated. We always like to come back. Kind regards from Ockenfels.

Yesterday we ate at Franco's for the first time because we received a voucher for Christmas. Everything was perfect, from the service to the food. We'll definitely be back!

Very good Italian cuisine. Very friendly staff. Nice ambience.

It's always a pleasure!!! The food was super tasty and the service is just perfect! Just try it out for yourself...!!!! Thanks to the whole team!!!

Unser geliebtes Stammrestaurant seit Ewigkeiten. Gestern wieder besucht und wieder völlig zufrieden. Große Gastfreudschaft ... herzlichen Dank!

Ein sehr schönes Restaurant, mit ausgezeichnetem Service, das Ambiente ist angenehm. Der Geschmack der Pizza war in Ordnung, ich hatte etwas mehr erwartet, war also von der Form, eigentlich vom Teig, etwas enttäuscht. Das Creme Brulee-Dessert war köstlich. Der Parkplatz könnte etwas größer sein. Trozdem würde ich auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Hervorragender Service - sehr persöhnlich (vielen Dank), phantastische Qualität, gemütlich und mit Sonnenterrasse mit Blick auf Linz und Rhein. Die Speisekarte bietet auch vieles für Menschen mit Prädiabetes oder Diabetes Typ 2 ... also zucker-freies, kohlehydrat-armes und damit keto-nahes. Ein Espresso hilft der Aurophagie. Leider ist der Zugang zur Toilette (nichts für Menschen mit Gehbehinderung) - siehe Fotos. #Pyramidalist

Hier lohnt es sich immer. Waren begeistert von dem Essen.

Wir kommen öfters her und sind immer begeistert, kann Ich nur empfehlen, Essen ist super,Personal ist nett und zuvorkommend, bei guten Wetter tolle Aussicht von der Terrasse über den Rhein. Besser immer reservieren, sonst bekommt man am Wochenende kein Tisch,abwechslungsreiche Tageskarte, Parkplätze vor der Tür, also dann...bis Demnächst.

Leckeres Essen und freundlicher Service.

Italienische Küche die lecker schmeckt, ganz tolle aufmerksame Bedienung und die Terrasse mit Blick auf Rhein ist einfach nur fantastisch

Sehr leckeres Essen und topp Service

Eigentlich alles gut, nix zu meckern, aber noch ein wenig Luft nach oben. Aber wer da hingeht, macht nix falsch.

Wenn wir wieder in der Nähe sind kommen wir auf jeden Fall wieder.

Für meinen Geschmack zu wenig Auswahl an Fleischgerichten. Vitello tonnato war früher besser, die Thunfisch Soße war nicht gut. Dafür der Wolfsbarsch hervorragend. Also Licht und Schatten. Fazit gut, aber verbesserungswürdig.

Toller Service, sehr gutes Essen und ein schönes Ambiente! Sehr zu empfehlen!

Nice italian for dinner. Reasonable prices as well

Terasse mit Blick auf den Rhein. Mein Lieblingsitaliener.

Schönes Lokal ,schöne Terrasse , mit weißer Tischwäsche gedeckt modern und ungezwungen . aufmerksames Personal. Gute Auswahl an Getränken und Essen .

Sehr leckeres Essen und nette, aufmerksame Bedienung. Die Terrasse ist immer wieder einen Besuch Wert, tolles Ambiente!

Well this was a lovely surprise. Any restaurant in England that describes itself as a Pizzeria is usually naff and poor quality and to be avoided. This was superb. The food was lovely and tasty, the service friendly and attentive and the view from the terrace great. We were so pleased we went. Youngest demolished a pizza big enough for an adult….whilst his father described his pizza as the best he’d ever eaten! PS The kitchen copes well with a table of eight

Ambiance très calme, authentique et posée, étant français nous avons un peu eu l'impression d'etre regardé bizarrement. Repas était bon.

Wir waren letzten Sonntag da und total begeistert. Das Essen war super, der Service perfekt und die Aussicht von der Terrasse war echt traumhaft. Wir können dieses Restaurant nur weiterempfehlen!!

I rigatoni con il ragù alla bolognese erano veramente buoni, per non parlare dello spritz al campari e del prosecco

Bei einem Schiffausflug nach Linz entdeckt. Ca. 10 Minuten vom Marktplatz, sehr guter Italiener, gehobene italienische Küche zu zivilen Preisen.

Un repas divin dans une atmosphère agréable par une belle soirée d'été. Prix plus que correct. Je recommande ce resto à la cuisine typiquement italienne sans l'ombre d'une hésitation. Vous prendrez bien un verre de Primitivo ?

Дуже мило посиділи з подругами. Було смачно!

Sehr gutes Essen, freundlicher Service und gehobene Atmosphäre.

Super miejsce na kolację. Polecam!!!

Gutes italienisches Restaurant, leckeres Essen und ein super mitdenkender Kellner machten den Abend zu einem schönen Erlebnis

Die Speisen sind sehr lecker. Die Wochenkarte bringt Abwechslung. Der Service ist Top - hier ist der Gast noch König.

Perfekte Lage, schöne Terrasse und super leckeres Essen, welches durch Tagesgerichte abgerundet wird. Perfekt auf für Geschäftsessen oder größere Feier .

Es war mal wieder toll! Wunderschöne Aussicht bis in die Eifel, freundlicher Service, gutes Essen zu fairen Preisen!!

Cappuccino war lauwarm, Nudel mit Lammragout lieblos , Fleisch scheinbar alt, Tomatensoße reines Tomatenmark?

Mit weitem Abstand das beste Restaurant in Linz am Rhein. Im Sommer fühlt man sich auf der großen Terrasse mit teilweisem Rhein-Blick wie im Süden. Entspanntes sympathisches Team, lässige Atmosphäre, sehr gute Pasta/gehobene italienische Küche. Ein Wohlfühl-Restaurant.

Super Restaurant in jeder Hinsicht, wir fühlen uns dort immer sehr wohl. Das Essen schmeckt sehr gut und es ist ein super Team.

Klasse Service! Unglaublich aufmerksame Mitarbeiter! Wunderbares Essen in schönem Ambiente!! Waren jetzt schon einige Male dort und es war immer!!!von gleichbleibender Qualität! Uns wurde das Restaurant von Freunden empfohlen, die dort seit einigen Jahren sehr zufrieden sind! Wir kommen gerne wieder 😊👍

Die Empfehlung für Linz wer gern italienische Speisen mag,sehr nettes Personal immer auf zack . Wir haben Reserviert da es immer gut besucht ist .Essen war sehr lecker 😋 und zu empfehlen ,auch wechselnde Tages Gerichte .Wir kommen gern wieder

Sehr netter Service . Obwohl wir nicht reserviert hatten ,da wir zufällig vorbei gekommen sind haben wir einen Tisch bekommen und durften den Top Service sowie das mega leckere Essen ( Pizza & Lasagne ) genießen.

Das Ristorante da Franco ist noch einer dieser klassischen Italiener, in denen die ganze Familie mitarbeitet und bei denen Gastfreundschaft noch gelebt wird. Das spürt man an der Nachfrage: ohne Reservierung hätten wir an dem Abend unseres Besuches überhaupt keine Chance gehabt. Der Service ist enorm fleißig und immer auf der Höhe des Geschehens. Meine "Gamberoni de la Casa" haben mir hervorragend geschmeckt - auch wenn ich bei der Kombination von Fisch - Gemüse - Spaghetti anfangs etwas skeptisch war. Gute Weinauswahl, ein faires Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und eine Atmosphäre, in der man sich als Gast einfach wohl fühlt. So einfach geht das!
