Ristorante da Franco in Remagen

Unfriendly restaurant staff. But the food was ok.

I've never eaten such bad pizza

Great pizza, great people, great atmosphere

Very very good value for money, the food is super tasty! Highly recommended!

Anyone who visits Remagen cannot miss Caraciola. Unfortunately, the famous Caraciola Cellar is not open to the public. But if you like Italian cuisine, I can highly recommend Franco. In the picture Spaghetti Mafia. Al Capone was here too

Wir waren mal wieder in Remagen und wollten etwas zu Mittag essen. Da wir vor einem Jahr ebenfalls dort waren, gingen wir wieder in diese Gaststätte unten am Rhein. Leider war das Essen miserabel. Die Pizza war offenbar schon vorgebacken, denn der Käse klebte. Die Pilze dieser Pizza Funghi konnte man fast mit einer Hand abzählen, sie waren alle sehr klein und vertrocknet. Das deutet daraufhin, dass sie schon vorbereitet war und nur noch warm gemacht wurde. Die Spaghetti klebten, eine typische Erscheinungsform, wenn diese ebenfalls schon vorgekocht sind und nur noch in der Pfanne warmgemacht wurden. Der Service war mäßig, wir hatten das Gefühl, dass man uns eigentlich gar nicht mehr wollte, weil man sich auf das Sylvester-Essen vorbereitete. Dann sollte man vielleicht besser mittags schließen. Jedenfalls werden wir dieses Lokal nie wieder aufsuchen.

2 part: unfortunately was invited again to the Franco. The food was miserable. Lasagna cold, bruschetta soaked in oil and the salad dressing was tasteless like water. Over the bruschetta the waiter started arguing with me. His statement: everyone who ordered Bruchetta that day thought it was great. I would be the only one who thought she was very bad. These discussions. The guest is king and you take criticism like a professional. Apologizes, done. But no, they were stroppy and cheeky. They only think about your income, they don't care about anything else. If I am invited again, I will definitely not go there. But recommend another restaurant. Part 1: I've been there several times and was disappointed by the food and service (also from the boss). The pizzeria is based on the name Franco. It no longer has anything to do with quality. I don't go there anymore either, I was only taken to the birthday party. I ordered (everyone heard it, including the boss) and the wrong food came. Instead of saying sorry, let's do it again, there was a discussion with me at the table that I wouldn't have said the order like that. Tried to cover up his mistake and continued to argue. No matter, he said at the end we'll do it again, it'll be ready in 5 minutes. Everyone at the table had finished eating and my food was still not there. There were excuses and things like, well, the food came and had no taste. I asked to pack up the rest of the pizza to take away. When I got home I noticed that they served half the pizza folded up like bread. Conclusion:. ●Able to accept zero criticism (although the mistake was with them, including the boss) ●Unnecessary discussion with the customer ●Curtained friendliness ●Be disrespectful with food ●You think you're so good/something better, but it's just the name why people still disagree. ●Arrogant and conceited My personal opinion "Never again!!!! I'd rather go to the brewery next door. The food is great, the staff is friendly and the guest is treated courteously.

Great service with very friendly waiter Maurizio, who has been working here for almost 30 years. I come by regularly to eat spaghetti, very tasty and great for cycling. Nice view and cheap prices, always plenty of space. I can't understand the bad reviews, especially when it comes to the service. People seem to be in a bad mood and complaining.

The location on the Rhine is of course very beautiful. But that's the only thing I find positive. Price-performance is underground. The pizza was soggy, as if it had been warmed up, and the salad was completely overpriced for the few green leaves. The half-frozen dessert was like custard cream, there was nothing half-frozen. The tiramisu was the worst thing I've ever eaten. Hardly anything reminded me of the classic recipe. The fact that I also received a piece that was cut completely crookedly is pathetic for a restaurant. The request for payment was seen several times by the “higher-ranking people” but was ignored. Instead, they talked to each other. Only when a waiter lower down in the hierarchy saw our payment request were we “allowed” to pay. I'd rather spend my money somewhere where you don't rest on the location of the restaurant.

Always delicious, the best pizza around

The four of us had dinner. everyone highly satisfied. unfortunately the day was saddened. 20€ for excessive parking time. who would like to thank the community of Remagen. There are also communities where you can eat well without the hassle of parking.

Fantastic Italian food at Ristorante da Franco After 14 years I visited the Ristorante da Franco in Remagen again, and it was a real highlight! The quality of the food is simply fantastic. The pasta with seafood and the pizza in particular are so good that even Cuxhaven could try a slice of it. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, making you immediately feel welcome and familiar. The atmosphere is cozy and invites you to linger. If you are looking for authentic Italian cuisine, you will definitely find it here. A restaurant that I can fully recommend! Greetings from Cuxhaven Djurka family

Pizzas are at frozen level, and they are even better!!!!

Very good food and great service.

Schöne Lage direkt am Rhein mit guter Aussicht. Gut um ein Getränk auf der Terrasse zu genießen. Leider ist die Qualität des Essens unterirdisch.

Thank you for letting me refill my water here on my bike trip. Thanks to the service staff and the ice cream stand, the restaurant has a certain Italian charm, which I really liked. Grace. The dessert of homemade apple strudel is highly recommended.

The salad was good, if a little bland. The staff is on top of their game, even if one of the waiters kept cursing in Italian for some inexplicable reason. 😂

Nice location, nothing more. Very unfriendly staff, card payment not accepted for 2 large drinks (€11).

Food was good. Service was not very friendly, bordering on rude.

The best restaurant, very nice people and very good service, the food is delicious and the waiters are very friendly

Food and location really, really good. Price is also right. Service seems bored and unfriendly unfortunately. No grin, no hello, no please, no thank you.

Great pizza and very tasty ice cream. You can also sit outside on the promenade with a great view of the Rhine. An absolute must when the weather is nice if you're in the corner. The service is professional and always friendly. Prices absolutely reasonable and fair.

You are overlooked by service and not served We walked away

Good food and very friendly service.

Ate the worst “Salad Capriciosa” of my life here yesterday. Absolutely carelessly slapped onto the plate. Tuna was no more than a tablespoon from a can, ham was cheap ham cut into small strips and the dressing was a kind of cocktail sauce that coated the whole thing in a very thin layer. Hunger drove it in, but never ever. There's really room for improvement here.

We stopped on a bike tour to satisfy our great hunger, after the waiter initially brought the wrong drink, and after correcting it, the pizza arrived. We identified this as a frozen pizza because of the holes in the dough from below and the topping that was shifted to one side in a pizza. For a traditional Italian company that even advertises that it was founded in 1980, there is no discernible tradition of craftsmanship here. I'm really disappointed, especially after the waiter walked around for another 15 minutes after asking to pay before he cashed in, and all without much activity. With a table right on the Rhine, the location is really great, but at a traditional Italian restaurant I expect everything but frozen pizza.

This Italian restaurant on the picturesque banks of the Rhine offers a delicious dining experience in a cozy atmosphere. The eatery has a pleasant outdoor area, perfect for enjoying your meal overlooking the river. The cuisine is of excellent quality, with dishes prepared from fresh and authentic ingredients. Service is friendly and attentive, while prices are average and represent good value for money.

We went there for ice cream 🍨. The ice cream could have tasted better. The waiter was a bit unfriendly...

The location is sensational, but that's what the owner relies on: a lot of staff, but very unfriendly and inattentive. When it was over 30°, there were no replenishments of drinks, no food was brought, the cutlery was dirty, and the service was unfriendly. Parmesan cheese was three quarters empty and the container was extremely dirty, which was dismissed with the excuse: it had been standing in the sun. First of all, you don't put cheese in the sun. Secondly, not three quarters of the contents are missing from the sun and thirdly, the vessel is from the outside. This doesn't make them dirty either - they would have been better off keeping this lie to themselves. As regular customers, we won't be visiting this restaurant again for the time being, especially since there was neither a proper apology nor, for example, a dessert on the house for the food that wasn't delivered! It's a shame how you deal with bad staff and a boss who says, we're disgusting here with the mosquitoes. It covers these vices through lies, which scares off regular customers. P.A. Remagen

Super cozy location right on the Rhine promenade - nothing more. Food is ok; not more. Everyone can make up their own mind about the price. Plan for longer waiting times, even if there is not much going on. Service can also improve greatly. No recommendation. I don't go here anymore.

Gute Lage. Der erste Eindruck lässt auf einen schönen Abend auf der Terrasse außen schließen. Leider dann doch nur Touristenstandart. Der Service ist noch freundlich aber das Essen absoluter Durchschnitt. Der Fisch im Salat noch halb roh und die Spagetti Aglio Oli mit Pepperoni hatte Mikrowellenstandart. Essen nicht gut, aber die Mitrarbeiter sehr freundlich. Tipp: 50 m gehen und ins La Cucina.

We are regular guests at da Franco☺️ Unfortunately, very bad service again today! It's a shame ☹️ There were three of us and we ordered 3 meals 🥘. Ordered extra with parmesan (an almost empty, used and not clean container/table setting came to the table) and hot extra oil with chili (was carelessly placed on the table in a large glass) for the pizza 🍕 Cara which was not brought! The waiter (not the same waiter who listened to the guests' requests, by the way) didn't notice when he served the other two dishes at the table to ask whether the third guest at the table had also ordered something. No… why should it?! No waiter came either - 5-6 waiters walked past the tables without even asking if anyone else wanted to drink or if everything was OK?! I then got a beer from the neighboring restaurant! After my food wasn't delivered, no one cared - just a small verbal apology from the waiter 😅 It should be a nice end to the day.. We are really disappointed 😞! And we have been regular guests for years🤦🏻‍♂️ greeting B. & G. Strauss

had a drink and tomato soup, there was no lunch menu. Fortunately we could pay by card, in DE they prefer you pay in cash.

It wasn't so nice, because smokers were in front of me and the cigarette smoke came to me, my husband's pitza was lightly topped and didn't match what was ordered, and my lasagne was for a small child, the wine was very cheap, you could smell it It did!!Tasted good except for the wine!But way too expensive for nothing!!Wouldn't recommend it

For me, bad reviews really have to be earned, but this one is highly deserved. The black-haired head waiter was simply being audacious when he complained that we had called him over even though one person in the group was missing and couldn't yet place his order. His words were paraphrased: “Should I wait here all day?!”. I honestly don't know how to answer a waiter whose job consists of serving customers. It's better to let the gentleman work in the kitchen so he can cook the tomatoes. If you then talk about the food, the salad was covered in sand. They must have prepared the salad unwashed and poured sauce over it. The cola was stale. I thought the total bill of €65 for three pizzas that looked like frozen pizzas was a bit high. The service is beyond deplorable and the store thrives solely on its location. We often eat in this area and certainly never here again 😄

I have been coming to this restaurant for the better part of 20 years and the food is as good as always. Good service, good food, good prices, can’t ask for much more than that. My favorite time of year is summer when you can sit outside and watch the boats on the Rhein.

Very tasty tagliatelle al salmone sat there.

Ordered food today with my wife Cannelloni and I spaghetti carbonara and 2 weizen beers. Wife got her food and after 20 minutes I still had nothing. I asked for the bill and it was no longer necessary for me. The waiter apologized that he was too busy and was very unfriendly. A second one came outside and said it was his fault. They did not provide a solution. Been at least 10 times in the past and now never again. Agreed not expensive, but it is the unfriendliness that ruins everything.

Ordering and serving was done very quickly. The food served was excellent. I will come back with the greatest pleasure!

Since there was an ice cream display case set up on the restaurant's terrace, we thought we would eat ice cream and drink coffee there. The employee came to the table without telling us the time of day and put the menus on the table for us. Before we could ask for the ice cream he was gone again. After a good 10 minutes he came back and looked at us expectantly. So far he still hadn't spoken a word. We asked for the ice cream menu as there was no ice cream listed on the menu. He said something incomprehensible, took the menus away and threw the ice cream menu (a laminated A4 sheet) from the next table onto our table. He gave us an annoyed look and disappeared again. No one needs such outrageous behavior! He seemed absolutely overwhelmed, stressed and once he learned the job - there wasn't much left of it. A very bad example for the industry! We then got up and ate a very tasty ice cream at the competition - the ice cream parlor Venezia. We received a very friendly welcome and service there. The Ristorante da Franco is absolutely not recommended! Not worth a visit and thank goodness there are plenty of restaurants to choose from in Remagen.

Great pizzas, original Italian cuisine, e.g. b. Potato salad with octopus.

3/5 stars - Mixed feelings on the Rhine We recently visited the Italian restaurant on the Rhine promenade in Remagen, attracted by the beautiful ambience right on the water. The view was breathtaking and promised a relaxing evening. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was not in keeping with the surroundings. We ordered three pizzas and one scampi. The pizzas were ok but the scampi was a disappointment. They smelled strongly of fish and didn't look very appetizing, which you could tell from the pictures we took. When we received the bill and raised the quality of the scampi, they tried to convince us that everything was fine, which did not lead to a satisfactory solution. In addition, the service was not convincing; an employee avoided eye contact and appeared rather unprofessional as he scurried past. Despite the beautiful location, I only give it 2 stars because both the food and the service could be significantly improved.

Great place to rest. Overall, it was nice there and the food was delicious. But..... A Lasanie for €13 should be at least as big as the bowl in which it is served. Ours looked like it came from a children's plate. Very little !! My pizza was a little more but a little more toppings would have filled you up. But...... It tasted great and the staff and the manager of the shop were first class, super friendly and also very quick. Thank you too to the kitchen .Quick and good !! TIP If you say please a red wine then you better choose what you order otherwise nothing will be precise. Will we eat there again? Yes . But hopefully there will be something more on the plate.

The ambience is really great and the ice cream is delicious. However, the pizza dough was tough, the bruschetta was too crispy, the pasta tasted so-so and the prices were too high for the quality offered. The service can be improved. The toilets stink of urine, I'm still waiting for my tiramisu - which I ordered twice, the waiter was quite unfriendly.

Delicious coffee and ice creams 🍦🍨

We had delicious coffee here after a long bike ride. Great view of the Rhine and very friendly staff.

Beware of food poisoning!! I ordered tiramisu here, which was already bad. It still looked good, but tasted spoiled. The service didn't care and so I still had to pay the full price. I'll never go to that restaurant again

In itself a nice restaurant with a great location on the Rhine. Very authentic service, Italian and warm. Unfortunately, the food (lasagna and spaghetti Bolognese) disappointed us. There were no herbs to be found and both dishes tasted very bland. The portion size was okay if you want to order several courses.

Very good food, friendly staff 👍

The food is okay, nothing special. The older waiter is very arrogant and rude. We don't come here anymore.

We have been going to this restaurant for the better part of 20 years now and the is always very good, still reasonably priced and friendly service. On a nice day we can sit outside with our dog and enjoy a good meal while watching the boats go by on the Rhein. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Food, location on the Rhine was great. Unfortunately, we were a bit ripped off: we ordered, among other things. 2 bottles of wine at 15 euros each. When billing it suddenly cost 25 euros per bottle. This wasn't on the menu. The waiter didn't accept anything about it, it was the price for a 0.5 carafe. No correction, apology or accommodation. And with 7 people we left quite a bit of money there. It's not about the price of the bottle but about the principle and the reaction of the waiter. That was a real shame

Katastrophe so eine schlechte Pizza habe in mein Leben nicht gegessen jede Döner Bude hat bessere Pizza als Italiener müssen sich schämen

Nice view of the Rhine. Food and service not that great. When ordering, it was pointed out that I was allergic to tomatoes, but I still got tomatoes on bread for the starter and was annoyed and took it back. Pizza average at best and pasta drowned in oil.

The worst pizza I've eaten so far and our friends were of the same opinion. Dry dough and no taste, as if the pizza had been standing for 2 days. You couldn't even cut the pizza with a knife, even though the knives were sharp. You could play flying plates with the pizza I've eaten better pizza at some kebab houses, it's a shame for such a company that's been there for so long and yet for me it's the worst pizza I've eaten so far. TK Pizza might have come out better out of the oven, as an Italian you have to be ashamed of pizza like that I wonder where the pride is. I'm Italian and I make the best pizza

Not everyone can be a pizzaiolo. Here it looks like it was prepared with hatred. Without love and spices.

Unfortunately pizza is a bit lacking in taste.

Mi sono trovata a telefonare per chiedere se fosse possibile prenotare un tavolo in quanto per arrivare a Remagen (dove si trova il ristorante) da dove abitiamo noi,c'è un pó di strada e la persona con cui ho avuto la sfortuna di parlare sl telefono al mio chiedere appunto se fosse possibile riservare in quanto non abitiamo vicino ed abbiamo due bambini di cui uno con problemi di salute ecc,mi è stato risposto "interessiert mich nicht " Oltre che scortese ho trovato la risposta estremamente maleducata

I found myself calling to ask if it was possible to book a table because to get to Remagen (where the restaurant is located) from where we live, it's a bit of a road and the person I had the misfortune of speaking to was I phoned to ask if it was possible to reserve as we don't live nearby and we have two children, one of whom has health problems etc., I was told "interessiert mich nicht" In addition to being rude, I found the response extremely rude

Place is very nice, very quiet, well we just went for a walk and then had a coffee, but the staff was very friendly. The panorama is fantastic. That was in Remagen.

Unfortunately the portions have become very small even though the prices have almost doubled

Nice and friendly, family Italian ristorante :) At the small square with Rhein view I always like to come here as staff like Maurizio is very professional and polite waiter. Anyhow Italian language is like music to my ears. Whatever the case is, you can always have the best Italian spaghetti icecream and espresso:)

Dogs are apparently not welcome there. In the heat, I had to look for the steam under the tables and fill it myself. I know hospitality differently!

Please eat at least one ice cream there, super tasty with a beautiful view

I ordered the salmon and shrimp salad. The salad smelled unpleasant and wasn't fresh. It was really disgusting and I had to leave the prawns and parts of the salmon on the plate. I cannot recommend eating here.

Nice view and restaurant nearby

Friendly, fast, good, not expensive

Very nice place with a great selection of very good dishes, good ice cream all at reasonable prices. On top of that, very nice service. Keep it up!

The food is delicious even if the prices have risen significantly. The service is a bit rough and you often have to wait a long time until you are taken seriously. So the overall impression is OK, but it could definitely be better.

Full star count from the 4 of us yesterday. Impeccable food, very friendly service, very clean place, including the toilets. This is how gastronomy should be! We had Italian specialties, schnitzel, pizza. Wine, and finally first-class espresso. Really recommended, plus the beautiful view of the Rhine, just a few meters away! Heart, what more do you desire! We will be back.

A restaurant with tablecloths, which no longer seems common these days. Excellent food with friendly service in a pleasant atmosphere and a wonderful view of the Rhine. I'll be back.

Got the wrong food for the second time. The bolognese was canned tomatoes with minced meat without any spices or root vegetables. That was a complete failure. Sirzplatz was drafty, right at the back entrance. The door kept opening and someone had to close it again. We used to eat there often and we can't recommend it anymore. UNFORTUNATELY

Delicious food, great service and great location right on the Rhine. The e-bike battery could also be contributed.

Everything fine. Food, service. We felt very comfortable.

Very tasty food at reasonable prices. Staff very friendly. Great location right on the Rhine.

Friendly service, with a direct view of the Rhine, especially in summer when you can sit outside. The food and drinks are really good. The service at the table is quick and the first drinks are brought quickly, and the food doesn't take too long, regardless of whether the restaurant is busy. The ambience in the evening was really nice and recommended. Parking spaces on the bank in the direction of the brewery are ok at a later time, otherwise a bit rare, in the worst case you would park on the other side of the station - about 10-15 minutes on foot

Das Lokal liegt direkt am Rhein, was im Sommer sicher ganz nett ist. Das Interieur ist anschaulich und gemütlich. Der Kellner war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Speisen- und Weinauswahl ist überschaubar. Das Essen war dann jedoch eher Durchschnitt, was bezogen auf den optischen Eindruck vom Lokal, sehr schade war. Es besteht kulinarische Verbesserungsmöglichkeit.

Very nice, rustic restaurant, with charming staff, right on the Rhine. Pizza was very tasty. Indoor and outdoor.

Always delicious at a high level. Very friendly staff.

We've been going there for years and have never been disappointed. We can highly recommend it

Pizza was very good, the dough was a bit too thick for my taste, but that's really a matter of taste. The tiramisu for dessert was delicious! Of course it's great to sit outside in the summer, but it's also very comfortable to sit inside now.

Cozy, very attentive staff. Food was very tasty and prepared quickly.

Sehr gute Speisen. Freundliche und kompetente Servicekräfte.

Fleisch war auf den Punkt perfekt. Essen war heiß und gut gewürzt. Man wurde recht schnell bedient und Personal war freundlich. Auch Hunde sind willkommen ! Nur recht laut und etwas hektische Stimmung. Preis Leistung stimmt. Im Sommer kann man auch schön draußen sitzen

Gutes Restaurant, große Auswahl an Essen,

Sehr Leckeres Essen! Die Mitarbeiter sind super, nett und hilfsbereit. Sehr Gastfreundlich

An einem Ort am Rhein in Remagen... sehr sehr lecker und tolle Auswahl! Selbst der Chef legt Hand an und ist ganz ,wie südländer sind, einladend und zuvorkommend! Gerne wieder!

Super nett, auch das Ambiente, gerne wieder.

Nette Bedienung und Essen war super...

Es war mal wieder etwas anderes .......uns hat es mal wieder super lecker 😋 geschmeckt........weiter so 👍

Sehr leckere Pizza in einem schönen Ambiente und netten Service!

Pizza war sehr lieblos belegt, aber vom Geschmack war sie okay. Die Bedingungen war etwas aufdringlich.

Über lieblos belegte Pizza und stumpfes Besteck oder die Preise kann man ja hinwegsehen. Distanzlosigkeit beim Servieren, es ist nicht das erste, wohl aber das letzte Mal gewesen, daß sich ein Mitarbeiter auf meine Schulter lehnt.

Ein super schöner Abend Gehen gerne wieder dort hin

Toll zum sitzen und Rhein schauen.

Herzlich gelegene Pizzeria am Rhein. Die Pizzas oder Nudelgerichte sehr lecker.

Heute zu Mittag gegessen. 2 Pizzen, 2 Getränke, 1 Espresso : 37 Euro. Sehr zügiger und freundlicher Service!

Tisch 303 am letzten Samstag Abend. Wir sind zu zweit - und bestellen unser Essen. Von den beiden Gerichten kommt das eine, das andere nicht... mit den Worten "Nudeln sind noch im Ofen - kommen gleich". Sie kamen nicht. Auf Nachfrage, weshalb es so lange dauert und wir eigentlich zusammen essen wollten, kommt die Antwort: "Die Nudeln sind runtergefallen. Müssen wir neu machen." Kein Wort der Entschuldigung, nichts. Und wie gesagt: die Erklärung bekamen wir nur auf Nachfrage. Das 2. Gericht kam dann, nachdem das 1. Gericht aber bereits aufgegessen war. Die Nudeln schmeckten nicht! Als es zur Bezahlung ging, gab es noch einen obendrauf: Auf der Rechnung standen noch "1 Latte Macchiatto" und "1 Amarena Becher", was beides nicht bestellt war, geschweige denn serviert wurde. Auch hier kein Wort der Entschuldigung, evtl. auch in Form eines Freigetränkes (welches wir aber wohl sowieso abgelehnt hätten). Rundum: ein absolut freches und kundenunfreundliches Verhalten (Benehmen kann man es ja nicht nennen) des Personals. Die Qualität des Essens auch nicht genügend. Leider ist in diesem Restaurant (?) nur der Ausblick schön.

Absolutes Kultrestaurant am Rhein in Remagen. Tolle kreative Tageskarten „ Originale italiano „ immer lecker immer gut …. Bravo … !!! Weiter so …

Sehr geliebter Ort, alles war mega super
