RISTORÌ da Franco in Hamburg

We had a quick pizza and pasta. Both dishes were vegan. There are other vegan dishes on the menu. Friendly staff, pleasant service, and the food was delicious.

We've been coming to da Franco for 20 years and are still big fans!

My absolute favorite when it comes to the best pizza in Hamburg! Plus, the service is fantastic; you just feel comfortable and welcome here! I always enjoy coming back to Ristori!!!

I ate there yesterday (May 24, 2025) with my two sisters, one sister's fiancé, and a friend. We're not from Hamburg and reserved a table because of the good reviews. Overall, the place looked okay. However, we had to wait a long time to order. We got our drinks and food quickly, though. We ordered two pizzas, two lasagnas, and one spaghetti carbonara. The lasagna was very tiny for the price (just under €16). The pizzas were okay, the crusts were a bit burnt, and there was definitely too much tomato sauce on top. And unfortunately, it was lukewarm. Normally, carbonara is made with egg. This is not the case here. The pasta was just pure cream, which is terrible for someone who can't tolerate that. It didn't taste good at all. My sister was still eating, but our plates were already cleared away, which we found very rude. To top it all off, we all got stomach problems that evening. None of us can recommend this store!

Very friendly staff and delicious food. I can highly recommend it 😉

Today I ate the BEST pizza Margherita. Delicious! Exquisite! Perfect! I will definitely come back.

Spontaneous and perceived as good

Italian restaurant in Wandsbeker Quarree – pasta, pizza, perfection In the middle of the hustle and bustle of the Wandsbeker Quarrees there is a little piece of Italy - a place that doesn't have to be loud to impress with culinary delights. The Italian restaurant impresses with fresh, handmade pasta and cuisine that values ​​authenticity. But what particularly stands out is the pizza: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with a perfect base and finely balanced toppings - simply one of the best pizzas I've had the pleasure of trying so far. The quality is consistent, the taste is excellent - and so I come here regularly to enjoy exactly that. Whether classic with mozzarella and basil or something more unusual - every pizza is a little masterpiece.

Pizzas sometimes come burnt! But still delicious

Original Bella Famiglia in the Wandsbek Quarree. Andrea's modern bistro not only puts good food on your plate, the service has also remained unchanged for years. An open pizza station makes fresh, tasty pizzas, and all other dishes are also impressive. Original Italian cuisine with a family connection. What's particularly charming is that mom is still in the shop and watches over everything.

Very tasty food. Here you can get really tasty Neapolitan pizza from a stone oven. The food and value for money are good. Unfortunately, the location is not ideal (more of an Italian restaurant for lunch than a romantic evening) and the service is unfortunately a bit slow (so order the bill quickly if you are there during your lunch break) Recommended and worth a visit!

Nice restaurant in the EKZ. Good food, well priced, great service and staff.

I ordered the pasta carbonara from Uber Eats and it was simply delicious. Pasta is often critical to order at home but this was really perfect. Original carbonara. I will definitely come by the restaurant too.

The food is delicious and the service is attentive and friendly. I'll be back...

Top Italian in the shopping center! I wouldn't have believed it to discover Wandsbek Quaree, such a great restaurant. Starters, pizzas, pasta and especially the tiramisu. Everything is very special, with its own touch and with a great price-performance ratio. The restaurant is good all day, busy and closes at 8:00 p.m.

Unterirdischer Service, Essen durchschnittlich. Ich hatte ein langes Haar in meinem Essen. Nach Hinweis auf den Mangel keine Entschuldigung. Das Gericht musste sogar komplett gezahlt werden. War für mich der erste und letzte Besuch

The service was really quick, super friendly and the starters and main courses were typically Italian. Yummy! Price is reasonable because of the very good service.

Very tasty food, but expensive.

Great ambience. Clean, fast and friendly service. All the employees are real Italians. Pappardelle with meat was ordered. First of all, fresh bread with olive oil. The store is always full. Wait in line for a maximum of 10 minutes and then you will get a table. Strong recommendation!

We were there for the first time today. The ambience was too narrow, too bright and too loud for us personally, but that's probably in the eye of the beholder, but it was still nicely decorated in terms of style. We had pre-booked, but still had to wait a while, but since it was Saturday, that was understandable and bearable. The employee who welcomed us was super friendly and nice. The service, however, seemed a bit distracted. The food took quite a long time to arrive, probably considering the day of the week. But the food was all the better, I've never felt like I was eating a pizza so healthily, you could taste it and notice that the pizza was freshly prepared and the chefs know their craft. Instead of cheap pizza cheese, there was high quality mozzarella cheese on the pizza, something I've never experienced before. As promised, my companion's carbonara was also according to Italian tradition, perfectly seasoned and extremely tasty. In summary: If you just go for the food and don't really need a quiet ambience, this restaurant is an absolute top choice.

We have been guests there for many years, nice staff and authentic, original Italian cuisine, with a beautiful outdoor terrace where you can sit comfortably in the summer. The home-baked bread is amazing and is even free. There is absolutely nothing to complain about and every now and then a celebrity shows up. Everything is on the ground floor so barrier-free and the toilets are always super clean.

Inside a mall is a good option for quality food and super fast service. I are the pasta Al pesto and my friend the vegan salad both fresh and delicious.

Very tasty food, home made bread great pizza! Truffle pasta is a dream

Friendly staff and great pasta 👍

Always cozy and beautiful, great to linger and delicious! Service is always great and the food is delicious too!

Hello, I reserved a table last week and pointed out that I had a voucher for 60 euros. Today we want to redeem the voucher and the service man pointed out that I have a voucher. The boss pointed out to us that the voucher is no longer valid. It is only valid for 6 months. It was purchased on December 16th, 2023. No more buying vouchers, just a rip off. We paid 55 euros for the meal. Never again

The lunch menu is highly recommended.

The food is magical and super delicious. Also totally cozy for a cozy drink in the evening 😘

The best pizza in town. Fantastic dough with delicious toppings. Service is always super nice. We always like to come back.

Service terrible! It wasn't full. Waited a very long time, pizza came faster than the drinks! When the pizza came, I mentioned it, the waiter immediately grabbed the plates of pizza and took everything away with the words: "You don't like it." So, bon appetit!

My favorite pizza in Hamburg. Super nice staff!

The food is solid, the pizza is very good. Service, especially when the store is full, can be a long time coming. The dressing on Caesars salad becomes less and less over time.

Thanks so much for all of you! We will see each other! Exceptional! A ray of sunshine on my plate! 😘

We ended up there by chance while strolling. Ambience a bit noisy as it is well attended. Service was definitely tried, but understaffed and therefore everything felt like it took longer. BUT the spaghetti more than made up for it: al dente, perfectly seasoned, large portion and extremely tasty. Clear recommendation for the pasta there. Next time we'll test the pizza and report back ;-)

As always, super nice staff and delicious food

Was here for lunch. The taste and service were great, but the amount of gnocchi was a bit small, more like a Bambini plate. I would have been full from the pizza at the next table, but not really from the pasta I had.

Very nice and attentive service! Delicious and down-to-earth food! Cozy, even though it's in a shopping center! Special requests are no problem! We feel comfortable here!

Good coffee. Not superfast service. Haven't tried the food yet.

We've eaten here a few times and it's very tasty, whether it's pizza or pasta. However, unfortunately the service is no longer that good, because it happened a few times that guests who came after us were already given the menu and drinks straight away and we hadn't even gotten the menu yet. That's how it was this time too, the waitress already had the menus in her hand for us when a few young girls asked for a table and as soon as they were seated they already had the cards in their hands! The whole time he was scurrying here and there and we sat there, still waiting. Finally we left and ate at the Vietnamese restaurant upstairs. I don't think that's possible, just because a few young girls come in you won't be served and so we won't go there again, despite the good food.

Delicious pizzas, freshly prepared. I prefer the pizza Tonno. Comes with plenty of onions. From the stone oven. Lunch menu with dishes at cheaper prices. Table can be reserved. Ambiance: In the mall.

Super delicious pizza 😋🍕, highly recommended 😃👍🏼

It tasted wonderful, just like mom's, come over and see for yourself

+Delicious food. +Cosily furnished. -Portions are quite small. -Depending on the staffing situation, you have to wait quite a long time to place orders/be served (even during the week).

Super friendly staff and super delicious food! Both pizzas we ate as a couple were outstanding! We'd love to come back when we get the chance! :-)

Was a dream. Fast service, very friendly, super tasty.

Here I ate the best spaghetti carbonara ever and it was served by a great waiter. Point.

We got a really nice table for three people on a Tuesday evening and were warmly welcomed and served. The staff is very friendly, attentive and really quick. The food tasted very good. We would love to come back again :)

The taste of the food was great. You can tell that good ingredients are used here (the dough in particular was really good). The food tastes as good as it looks in the pictures. The only point of criticism about the food was the vegan pizza. Here the missing cheese felt like it was replaced 1:1 with more sauce, which made it a bit soggy. Maybe in the future less sauce, or one with less moisture, or a vegan mozzarella. Everything would be better. Unfortunately, the overall impression was greatly weakened by the service. We were in a hurry and so ordered for a specific time, which was approved by the waiter. In the end our food came 20 minutes later than promised, which meant we didn't have enough time to eat. When we asked for the bill during the meal, the waiter said "Already?" Yes, now, we were in a hurry and it was not without reason that we asked several times whether our food was coming soon. Oh well. One could also have said directly that the time is unrealistic or at least very tight. Then we would have eaten somewhere else. So that was quite annoying. The ambience is just like you would expect in a mall: Very packed, loud and bright. But it's nicely decorated. Conclusion: There could be 5 stars here, and the many good reviews are certainly authentic, but in our case it was only enough for 3 stars.

One of the best Italian restaurants in town!

The food is okay, just very crowded

Great food and very friendly service.

Unterirdischer Service, essen durchschnittlich und das Restaurant versucht schlechte Bewertungen über Anwälte löschen zu lassen

The food is average and the service provided is absolutely disappointing. The provider also tries to have bad reviews about a lawyer removed, which says a lot about the owner and their ability to take criticism.

Everything was just perfect… and the Food- God given!!

People are super friendly, you always feel welcome. Prices are reasonable. The carbonara is very good 😊

Yes, drinking coffee, just great..

A very nice place and good food

Beautiful pasta. Just the right amount of spice.

Very tasty food and nice restaurant, very centrally located

A nice Italian in Hamburg Wandsbek. The food and ambience were okay, but the service could have been a little nicer.

A very good Italian restaurant that I have been visiting for years.

For me, this was the best pizza I've ever eaten in Hamburg! Delicious! In addition, there is courteous, polite and extremely friendly service. People are happy to tip generously and will be happy to come back.

We wanted to have lunch there...the menus were thrown at us without a good day or hello... After looking at the menu we were ignored... no question as to whether we would like something to drink... then we got up and left... I'm sure no one will see us there again... Then there are the other Italians on Ritterstrasse (super friendly and delicious pizza and pasta)

We sat outside on a cul-de-sac from the Quarree. OK, but not cozy. Food was OK.

Absolute impudence that such a restaurant is allowed to complain. The food was just okay, the portion was tiny and the service was an absolute disaster. You can get over the fact that the food came before the drinks, but the fact that the plates are cleared away even though you're still eating and the service staff is absolutely rude and unfriendly is probably a complete disgrace. As a fully trained hotel specialist, I can say that I clearly learned things differently, so I would prefer 5 minus stars. It's best to go somewhere else!!!

A pleasant, spacious atmosphere, excellent service, good prices, I needed more variety on the menu

The service was very unfriendly and the food was rather poor...small portions and that was taken away from us without asking. I haven't experienced such impudence like this store in a long time. If you want to eat well, go to Firebird or something similar nearby

Super delicious food. Everything was freshly cooked and very tasty. We sat outside and were very happy to be sitting in the backyard. So you had enough peace and quiet to eat. Thank you very much. We'll be back. :)

You wouldn't expect such a good Italian in a shopping center. Pizzas are prepared quickly within sight. It's great to watch because someone knows their craft. Taste was great. Gladly again.

We ordered take out. Three pizzas and three pasta dishes. One pizza came without the parmesan that was ordered additionally. The size of the pasta portions was way too small. For 15,40€ (carbonara) I would have expected double the amount of what we got. The Pasta Aglio Olio e Peperoncino was fairly spicy, the portion was the same as the carbonara and the parmesan was forgotten (additionally ordered & payed). Apart from that the food tasted very good and arrived extremely quick, just quite disappointing concerning additional orders and the portion sizes of the pasta.

Relaxed thing, you can eat and drink a little something. Prices are reasonable. Food is of good quality.

I had no doubts about it already tried in Berlin and same quality in Hamburg

Perfect. Very good food excellent service. Surprisingly good for a mall restaurant.

Clear recommendation Good cuisine, friendly service.

Our pizza/pasta was so well... you could eat it, although without much enthusiasm. The service was very nice and quick. Sitting in front of the restaurant is also quite comfortable and there is no significant traffic.

Nice pleasant Italian with well-made dishes. Recommended.

Super cool Italians always super nice

Für einen Italiener in einem Einkaufszentrum wirklich gut! Sehr "italienischer" Service. Wirklich gute Pizzen, Teig nach neapolitanischer Art.

Definitely one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten! The service was great, the store was full but we still got our food quickly. Even before the drinks 😄 we will be back!

I have lived in Hamburg for 2.5 years. I lived in Venice for 1.5 years. Conclusion: Best pizza on the Elbe. Delicious!

Pizza with truffles. To melt away!

There were three of us and everyone loved the food. There was pizza in each case and the crust was nice and airy and the base was very thin. The topping, for me ham and mushrooms, was also good. The service was nice, but didn't ask us if we wanted to order anything after our meal. The plates had already been cleared away, even though not everyone had eaten. This behavior didn't go down well with us. The restaurant is located in a shopping center and therefore it is usually a bit louder. We didn't find it bothersome.

Really good Italian cuisine has never been eaten so well!!! Keep it up ! Fast, very nice service, price performance 1+*

Beste Pizza in Hamburg! 60 seconds to Napoli sind ein Witz dagegen! Geht zu Franco nach Wandsbek! Tolle Pizzen mit knusprig luftigen Rand und tollen Belägen. Ich hatte dort die pilante calabrische Streichsalami Nduja kennenlernen dürfen. Ein Gedicht! Pizza braucht nix weiter als erstklassige Zutaten. Und die gibt es hier! Toller 48 Std gegangener Pizzahefeteig, kräftige und üppige Tomatensauce, dazu ein paar Kleckse Nduja und frische Burrata! Das wird meine neue Lieblingspizza! Leider sind die Getränke recht teuer. Die Pizzen sind die Preise wert. Und: Mir ist tatsächlich aufgefallen, die Gäste grinsen tatsächlich voller Vorfreude, wenn ihnen die Pizza vor der Nase serviert wird. Sie sehen schon großartig aus und man will nur noch reinbeißen! 😍

Very nice staff, good tasty dishes. Unfortunately, two points deducted for cleanliness,

Service is always good, food and drinks are great. Makes you want to go on holiday in Italy.

In a shopping center. Friendly staff. Pizza is made using the show cooking process.

The restaurant is located in the EKZ Quarree. The interior is reminiscent of a bistro. It is very clean and tidy. The service staff is very friendly and quick. The food was good to very good. The bruschetta was super tasty and reasonably priced. The lasagne was also tasty, but the portion was a bit too small for the price.

I was there today and the first thing that surprised me was how friendly the waiter was, who immediately brought me the menu. I ordered within maybe two minutes, and after about 5 to 10 minutes the pizza arrived. I was surprised at how good it tasted – top quality! I will come here more often.

Pizza is not at all the best in Hamburg.... and it is too expensive for how it presented itself today. The dough on our 2 pizzas was excellent. Friendly staff, super quick pizza. But the rest seemed to have been done on a super-saving basis and without love!!! The "pizza with 5 cheeses and walnuts" looked like this: with a single strange layer of melted cheese and then with 5-6 small pieces of walnuts on one side - almost like a rubber slipper that all melted cheese... not even a whiff of oregano dry on top or a few leaves of fresh basil, meh.... What are the 5 cheeses in the title - God knows... The "raw and parmesan pizza" had very little ham - just 4 very thin slices - very transparent, very spread out and straight on top of a mountain of rocket. Come on with this rocket!... and its price is too high for what it looks like!!! Money wasted here today. It was our 4th attempt, that's it - we here for the pizza will never return.

Spontaneously made a reservation and was completely satisfied with the food. Service was really great too! Widen like that!!!

Very nice staff. See you next time

The restaurant isn't really a highlight. The food portions have shrunk and the service always seems rushed

Never order here. Absolutely disgusting how the pizza arrived here. Cold, absolutely inedible. As if the delivery man had wiped his footwell with the pizza.

I had a pizza there and what can I say, it was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Great atmosphere, very authentic. Will definitely come back!

Very attentive and extremely friendly service. Very tasty food. Price performance completely okay. Always happy to come back.

Delicious pizza. Great atmosphere in the restaurant, very positive, nice and helpful service! It is worth coming both for the food served and the atmosphere there. I recommend!

Even after the renovation, it is still too small and always very full, especially at peak times, which also speaks for the popularity of the restaurant/bistro. All price ranges are served, from quick and cheap (pizza) to upscale daily menu (e.g. veal schnitzel in white wine). We have never been disappointed in terms of taste!!!!! Despite the abundance of customers, the staff is always nice and attentive.

The food was quite good. Not the best pizza by a long shot, but it was tasty. The service was friendly and attentive. The ambience is just a shopping mall feeling... okay, but the charm is missing. But the operators can't do anything about it. It depends on the location.

A delicious carbonara, a creative but also delicious version of bruschetta.
