Trattoria i Siciliani in Frankfurt am Main

Entering Nino's restaurant means enjoying an experience that goes far beyond simply dining out. From the first moment, you're greeted with rare kindness: Nino has an innate ability to put everyone at ease, with that sincere smile and discreet attention that makes every guest feel like the most important person of the evening. It's not just "hospitality," but a true savoir-faire that transforms dinner into an unforgettable experience. The cuisine is the other key protagonist: each dish tells a story, that of the most authentic Italian tradition, yet reinterpreted with a level of mastery that leaves you speechless. The ingredients are of the highest quality, carefully selected and treated with the utmost respect. Nothing is left to chance: from the elegant yet never artificial presentation to the aromas that anticipate intense and perfectly balanced flavors. It's rare to find Italian cuisine abroad that's so faithful to its roots, yet capable of rising to a higher level. Paradoxically, one gets the feeling that Italy is celebrated here better than in Italy itself. The pasta, homemade with surprising lightness, the main courses that showcase the ingredients without ever overpowering them, the desserts that conclude the journey with delicacy and imagination: every course is a revelation. Every bite invites you to slow down, savor the flavors, and recognize the passion that Nino and his team put into their daily work. Beyond the cuisine, the restaurant's atmosphere is refined but never pretentious. It exudes warmth, authenticity, a rare balance between elegance and familiarity. It's the ideal place for a romantic dinner, an important business meeting, or even an evening with friends looking to share something special. Ultimately, Nino has created a place that's more than just a restaurant, but a true cultural and gastronomic experience. His kindness, combined with his extraordinary talent, makes this place unique. Every visit is a confirmation, every dish a journey. Anyone who loves Italian cuisine should absolutely treat themselves to an evening here: it will be difficult to settle for anything else afterwards. Sincere congratulations to Nino and his team: this restaurant is a gem that deserves to be discovered, loved, and remembered.

A fish fillet with potatoes for 39.00 euros! Sorry, not again!

A very friendly team, fresh, delicious, and handmade pasta. Everything is prepared with love and care, and at fair prices.

The pizza arrived quickly and was really fresh. The price was right, too.

Great food and nice people. Highly recommend.

Great pasta, attentive service, fair prices (affordable but not cheap), pizza bread as a side dish, we will be back

Good food and service, especially as we were a group of 55 people. Great wine list. Would definitely go back in a smaller group.

The quality of the food at Trattoria Siciliani is rather mediocre. There is no printed menu available, which makes ordering a bit inconvenient. Prices seem to be on the higher side compared to other Italian restaurants in the area, and overall the experience did not fully justify the cost.

A great experience. Not cheap, but worth the price. The food, service, and ambiance are truly great. 👍

10/10 great experience with excellent food and clients.

Great place, delicious food, and very friendly service. I left full, smiling, and well-cared for ☺️❤️

Pizza below average, prices above average.

Amazing Italian spot! The food was fresh and full of flavor – the pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauces were delicious. The Aperol Spritz was refreshing and well-balanced, and the coffee was just incredible – rich and authentic, just like in Italy. Cozy atmosphere and friendly service. Definitely worth a visit!

Delicious food, I recommend it 100%! I'll be back next time :)

The best Italian restaurant in Frankfurt

Everything went well as we expected!

Highly recommended, but extremely expensive. A 0.7-liter bottle of Lambrusco costs €49!

great service, tasty food and cozy atmosphere

Great atmosphere and service. Food was delicious all fresh and very tasty

I dined at this restaurant while on vacation. A truly pleasant experience! The food is excellent, carefully prepared with quality ingredients. The location is welcoming and meticulously maintained, perfect for both a romantic dinner and an evening with friends. The service is impeccable: fast, attentive, and always with a smile. Special thanks to Mr. Nino, whose warmth and friendliness make the atmosphere even more welcoming. We'll definitely be back!

Everything was perfect! Friendly staff and delicious food!

Not really convinced... Service ok but not really welcoming or warm. Everything is relatively expensive (8.5 for a bottle of water and 3 for a glass 🙄). The pizza was good though and the setting was quite nice.

Unfortunately, it's overrated and overpriced – be careful with the appetizer! ​Due to the many good reviews, we had high expectations, which were unfortunately completely disappointed. The food was only mediocre for the rather high price. ​What annoyed us most, however, was an "unfair trick" with the appetizer: Since it took us a little longer to choose our main course, the waiter proactively offered us antipasti "for the table," which we accepted. Instead of a shared platter, as we expected, we received individual, poorly presented plates for each of the six people, each of which was charged €22.50. (We immediately returned one plate because the person didn't want to eat it at all – and this wasn't charged either.) The appetizer wasn't worth €20 in terms of taste, and since not everyone liked everything, a lot of it was left on me, so I wasn't hungry for the main course. ​The pizzas were also unfortunately just average and didn't improve the overall impression. We absolutely don't understand the hype surrounding this restaurant. Even without the annoyance with the appetizer, it would have been a maximum of 3 stars. For comparison: The next day, we had a fantastic pinsa at a nearby restaurant – at a fair price and with honest service. Everything was just perfect there. Unfortunately, we can't recommend this restaurant.

The menu, for example, lacks a side dish other than salad for the fish. But otherwise, the food is really delicious, and the service and ambiance are great.

Unfortunately, I have to report a truly disappointing experience at this restaurant. The service was extremely unpleasant and ruined the entire visit. The staff seemed annoyed, inattentive, and unfriendly. There was hardly a smile, and questions were answered very reluctantly. As a guest, you felt completely unwelcome. The quality of the food was also unacceptable. I ordered seafood, which was unfortunately a total disappointment. It tasted bland and not fresh, which is especially critical for this type of dish. Overall, I absolutely cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone for the reasons stated. The combination of poor, unfriendly service and substandard food makes it a place best avoided. A successful restaurant visit depends on hospitality and good food, both of which I sorely missed here.

Beautiful restaurant with attentive service, delicious food, and fair value. The dishes were very flavorful and made use of few, but high-quality, ingredients. The linguine with veal and nuts was delicious. The stuffed gnocchi were also good, but a bit milder in flavor.

We went twice during our 4 days in Frankfurt. It was just delicious - and the service was wonderful. We struggled with what to order but their recommendations were fantastic.

It was wonderful, I highly recommend it and I will definitely be back! 10/10

Very authentic, great service, and good value for money. Very good wines.

Wonderful place! Very friendly and not overly stiff service, lovely atmosphere, both inside and outside (we were outside). The food is truly high-quality in both taste and craftsmanship. Everything is cooked to perfection, seasoned with great balance, and each dish is unique in its flavor. I only lose a point because I find the drinks really overpriced. The food isn't cheap either, but there's a lot of craftsmanship behind it. We shared an appetizer and each had a pasta dish. It came with an Aperol and a bottle of water. The water was €8.50 and the Aperol €9 or €9.50 (I've already thrown away the bill). All in all, we spent just under €90... I know everything's getting more expensive, but this is a bit steep.

Outstanding service from our waiter. Food is also great. Been twice and will go again!

A beautiful restaurant. The food is delicious, the service is very friendly, and the wine list is extensive.

The best pizza I've ever had 🍕🍕

Original Italian cuisine and good wines.

It's an Italian restaurant near the Main River with a really nice atmosphere... but the pizza is tastier in Daehakro... and the pasta smells a bit like flour...

Very good Italian cuisine. The antipastos were wonderful. The gnocchi was very well done, and the lamb with pistachios was delicious. The service was friendly and humorous.

Very good and unusual Italian food. Attentive service and a cozy restaurant.

Bester Italiener in Frankfurt! Sizilianische Küche, tolles Ambiente, toller Service und tolle Weine! Ich komme immer wieder!

The food was a complete disaster. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I don't know where all these recommendations come from. Goodbye, never to be seen again.

The food was delicious, but too expensive for the quantity

Bad experience. Typical Italian restaurant abroad where there's very little Italian (not even the welcome). I had the pasta alla Norma, a typical Sicilian dish that was inedible. The sauce was bland and completely tasteless, the eggplant smelled just right, and the salted ricotta was missing. The tiramisu with orange (which didn't even taste like orange) was the icing on the cake.

It definitely lived up to the description; it melted in your mouth. A charming place with Italian music, I recommend it! P.S. The espresso was super Italian!

The Frutti di Mare linguine is a poem! But the sea bass rolls with truffles also delighted us!

A great experience. Not cheap, but worth the price. The food, service, and ambiance are truly great. 👍

The ambiance and service are very good. The food was okay; to be honest, I expected more based on the review. The portion was quite small for the price.

Top-notch food at reasonable prices. A little tip: Pizza is a bit cheaper, but it's not on the main menu; you have to ask for a separate pizza menu.

Mi novia y yo tuvimos nuestra primera cena en Frankfurt aquí. Encontramos este lugar en Google Maps y parecía bastante bueno. Pedimos sentarnos afuera, pero no pudimos porque estaban a punto de cerrar la sección exterior, pero conseguimos un cómodo asiento adentro. Pedí pescado con patatas y mi novia pidió una lasaña. La comida sabía buenísima. El tamaño de la porción del pescado era un poco pequeño, pero tenía un sabor buenísimo. Si fuera a un restaurante muy "elegante", no me quejaría del tamaño de las porciones, pero este no es ese tipo de lugar, por lo que esperaba que fuera un poco más grande, pero dicho esto, este fue uno de los mejores platos de pescado que he probado en un restaurante. En general, fue un poco más caro que otros grandes restaurantes que visitamos en Frankfurt. Eso combinado con el hecho de que no pudimos sentarnos afuera y el tamaño de las porciones es lo que lleva esta experiencia a un 4/5 en lugar de un 5/5. Definitivamente recomendaría este lugar.

Very good food and an authentic atmosphere. Prices are also perfectly reasonable.

I was very well attended and pleasantly surprisied by the honesty of the restaurant staff who took care of may wallet lost. Thank you very much. I’m truly appreciate it

Beautiful place for me the Best Italian restaurant in 🇩🇪

Fantastische authentische sizilianische Küche mit exzellenter Weinauswahl und hervorragenden Service. Ein absolut tolles Erlebnis. Werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen. Die hausgemachte Paste ist zum verlieben.

Good quality pasta but nothing too special

Spectacular place. I felt like I was in Sicily

An authentic Sicilian restaurant in Sachsenhausen. This restaurant serves delicious Italian cuisine, including various types of pasta, dolce, and accompanying drinks. There's no menu, but a QR code, as is the case for the drinks menu. If you want pizza, you'll have to specifically ask, as the pizzas aren't listed on the menu. The restaurant has several outdoor and indoor seating areas. The food is delicious, and the prices aren't exactly cheap. In particular, there are exclusive wines on the online menu. If you want good Italian food and aren't concerned about the euro, this is the place to go.

The best homemade pasta I've ever eaten!! Wow... The homemade balsamic vinegar was amazing!! I'd love to have it by the liter!! Super friendly staff and very respectful. It was a real pleasure eating there.

Wie ein Gastronom sein Lokal einrichtet ist letztendlich seine eigene Sache im Hinblick auf Authentizität und Ambiente. Allerdings gibt es Dinge, die für alle Gastronomen gelten müssen. Dazu gehören unteranderem Fluchtwege etc. . Vor den Toiletten Möbel so zu platzieren, dass man beim Öffnen der Toilettentür von innen einfach mal die Tür vor den Kopf gehauen bekommt, weil da gerade jemand durchgeht ist ein NoGo. Insgesamt sind die Räumlichkeiten in vielen Bereichen viel zu eng. Das bringt dann auch Situationen mit sich, die man sich als Gast so nicht wünscht:“ Gehst du auf Seite ich muss mit Essen durch.“ In einem Ton, der sogar nichts mit Gastgeber/Gast Umgang zu tun hat. Die Bestuhlung ist so eng, dass keinerlei Privatsphäre besteht – Gespräche am Nebentisch sind zwangsläufig mitzuhören. Wir empfanden es als Zumutung, uns mit Hilfe von Handy, iPad und Wandtafel durch die angebotenen Gerichte und Weine durcharbeiten zu müssen, viele auf der Karte im Internet zu sehenden Gerichte gab es überhaupt nicht. Pizza und authentische Nudelgerichte konnten wir ebenfalls nicht finden. In einem Lokal das mit seinen hohen Ansprüchen wirbt, ist dies weder Gastfreundlich noch zeitgemäß. Die Zubereitung meines ausgewählten Gerichtes war handwerklich grundsätzlich in Ordnung, allerdings habe ich auch hier den „Kick“, der mich dazu bringen würde erneut zu kommen, gänzlich vermisst. Ich werde in meiner Bewertung bezüglich des Geschmacks keine Angaben machen, da den Geschmack jeder Gast nur für sich selbst bewerten kann. Schlechte Bewertungen in Bezug auf Qualität und Geschmack gehören hier nicht hin, da diese Empfindungen immer persönlich sind und kein Maßstab für andere Gäste sein können. Der Service war stets bemüht, jedoch nicht so präsent, ansprechbar wie ich mir es als Gast wünschen würde. Mein Fazit: Insgesamt wirkt das Konzept unausgewogen – sowohl kulinarisch als auch preislich. Das berühmte la Dolce Vita, übersetzt als „das süße Leben“ oder „das gute Leben“, ist eine Philosophie, die die italienische Lebensart umfasst, bei der jeder Moment genossen und jede Erfahrung in vollen Zügen ausgekostet wird. Wer authentisches sizilianisches Flair und Küche sucht, wird hier wohl eher nicht auf seine Kosten kommen. Schade

I'm thrilled, the food tastes excellent 😋, and the service is very friendly. I highly recommend it. Five stars ⭐️

Spent 1 night in frankfurt & found this gem on google. Lives up to the 4.9+ star hype. Delicious food. Great atmosphere.

The truffle pasta is top notch!!

Overrated place. Waiters are rude, they always speak Italian and we don't understand anything. Wines are overpriced. Meals are so-so, nothing extraordinary. We asked for the check several times but they were very slow. The place is also very small, it wasn't comfortable.

Our favorite Italian restaurant for years! Excellent Sicilian cuisine of the highest quality. The attentive service and excellent wine selection leave nothing to be desired. We always enjoy coming here; we definitely recommend it!

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Abend mit sehr guter Pasta und der besten Pizza im Viertel. Auch der Wein ist absolut zu empfehlen. Vielen Dank auch an den aufmerksamen Service. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

It was, quite simply, the best meal I've ever had, including in Italy.

Despite high ambitions: Culinary and conceptually unbalanced The tables are far too small to adequately accommodate everything that was served and offered to us. Furthermore, the seating is so close that there is no privacy at all – conversations at the next table are inevitably overheard. We found it unreasonable to have to work our way through the dishes and wines on offer with the help of a cell phone, iPad, and blackboard – Corona is long over, and in our view, that is neither hospitable nor contemporary. The food was generally well-prepared, but the approach was inconsistent: When you're promising authentic Sicilian cuisine, fried potatoes in a porcelain chip bowl as a side dish to four lamb chops for €35.50 seems out of place. The sea bass with pistachios and paprika purée was a bit more creative, but was also served with the same unimaginative fried potatoes. The price and quality were out of balance for us. This impression continued with the wine: Bottle prices start at €39.00, which seems very ambitious given the usual purchase prices. Ultimately, we received a bottle worth €59 for €39, as two of our desired wines were unavailable—a fair move, but one that only marginally improved the overall impression. The service was attentive, but not consistently present or approachable. Conclusion: Overall, the concept seems unbalanced—both in terms of cuisine and price. Those seeking authentic Sicilian flair and cuisine will probably not get their money's worth here.

I went because of the good reviews, but I have to say the atmosphere is nice, but I've definitely had better pasta at other restaurants than here. I find the prices extremely overpriced, and you don't get anything special for that. I wouldn't go again; I assume the reviews aren't as accurate as they should be. There was no pizza on the menu either, just to make it clear.

A bit cramped, Food not outstanding Staff friendly Can be done. :)

We had a reservation for four people and received a very friendly welcome. Despite the full house, the food arrived relatively quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. Everything tasted truly delicious – both the starters and main courses were impressive. Unfortunately, the portions were much too small for our taste, especially considering the rather high price. For the money, you simply expect a bit more – both in terms of quantity and the overall experience. It's a shame, because the ambiance and service were otherwise excellent.

Excellent Sicilian cuisine in Frankfurt, excellent service, and you can even bring your pet along for lunch.

The restaurant's interior is very cozy. It's not large, but it has a certain charm. The wine list is fantastic, and if you want it, the wait staff will guide you through the evening. Having been there several times, I can say that everything I've eaten so far has been delicious. I definitely recommend the restaurant, but also the lasagna and the gnocchi with ricotta and walnuts.

A very pleasant welcome, delicious cuisine, a truly good time that I recommend.

A welcoming restaurant with attentive service. The dishes are well-made, but the prices are high for what remains of pasta cuisine. The Italian ambiance also comes at a high price for the side dishes: €17 for two bottles of Italian water (San Pellegrino is admittedly a bit far from Frankfurt, but still!). Fortunately, service is included.

An Italian restaurant worth trying, reservations are required

No doubt why this is 4.9 stars. Great food. Never had eggplant with the available recipe and orange Tiramisu is must try!! Must ask for spicy oil!!

True italian food. We got fresh bread with olive oil on the house. Tried the truffle gnocchi and they had this cheesy filling inside, super flavorful and delicious, must try. Friendly staff and the atmosphere is cozy. Definitely recommend.

Lovely wine, homemade pasta with great quality ingredients! Simply delicious!!! We were there for my mother's birthday and had a wonderful time! The staff organised a great candle for her to sing happy birthday and had music and lights. Just great!!! Grazie molto!!!

We were looking forward to a top-notch Italian restaurant. We found a rather average restaurant; everything was good, but not a 4.9 rating. It was also rather expensive.

The starters were very good. At €22, one would have expected a bit more from the pasta dish.

I went for dinner with my wife, the atmosphere is very cozy, the food was delicious. The service was excellent, everything was perfect. When I'm in Frankfurt again, I'll definitely be back.

Trattoria i Siciliani Ristorante Italiano is a wonderful restaurant of Italian cuisine. Who loves Italy and its cuisine, I advise you to visit this establishment, which will please you with a huge selection of amazingly delicious dishes. The service is also worthy of praise

Today, on May 17, 2025, we ate at an Italian restaurant that's one of the top 10 in Germany. We sat on the first floor at a table for two. Unfortunately, the smell of the food got stuck in our clothes. The kitchen is very close, and the smell draws you in. My tip for you: Don't do what we did; choose the ground floor instead. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of the food. The taste was excellent! But the portions are quite small. Don't be surprised if you see the portion sizes on the plates. I can say that I left the table hungry. But I tasted some very delicious and unusual flavors. I highly recommend making a reservation before going—the restaurant is in high demand. We ordered the house wine (red wine)—it was quite strong. I drank it very carefully, as it could have made me drunk. But he was good.

The food was good, but the service was poor. You get the feeling that the tables are being taken up by the next guests as quickly as possible; it's a bit like a mass processing operation.

The price/performance ratio isn't right here. For this price range, you have to point to a sticky sticker with a QR code that opens a simple PDF – after all, a menu is a restaurant's calling card. We sat inside, where it got incredibly stuffy. The waitress(es) were very arrogant towards us. We weren't quite sure whether she was showing us to our seats or just telling us to go past her; when we asked, she just rolled her eyes. No smile and very brusque, but she behaved completely differently towards our neighbors in suits and dresses. The food was good, but I won't be coming back.

Unfortunately, we witnessed the manager's unfriendly attitude toward both customers and staff. Furthermore, despite reservations, all the tables were occupied.

It is perfect and it is high quality and cheap the staff and the owner take care of the customers very well and it is very good from the inside

Nach einem hektischen Marsch durch die Innenstadt fanden wir hier eine Oase der Gemütlichkeit! Sehr nett eingerichtet, netter Service und gutes Essen! Das war wirklich köstlich! Ich komme wieder dorthin! Grüße aus Köln!

Wir haben eine tolle Familienfeier und einen wunderschönen Abend in der Trattoria I Siciliani verbracht. Das Ambiente war außergewöhnlich gut, der Service hervorragend und das Menu ausgezeichnet.

I only ate a salad with shrimp. It consisted of iceberg lettuce with a bit of arugula, underripe tomatoes, and flavorless pomegranate seeds. For €21, it was a mediocre experience.

Authentic Italian Taste in Frankfurt!

Simply amazing! I was there yesterday with a friend and there was absolutely nothing to complain about. I'd love to give it 6 stars.

Fue una de las peores experiencias de cocina italiana que he tenido en mi vida. Primero, no hay un menú adecuado. Es como un rompecabezas. En segundo lugar no hay pizza para una trattoria y la pasta con ragu fue una de las peores que he tenido en mi vida. No sé cómo este restaurante obtuvo esta calificación, pero no es totalmente recomendable.

Tolles Restaurant!!!! Am 10.05. haben wir unsere Konfirmation in diesem tollen Restaurant gefeiert. Die vorherige Kommunikation und Abstimmung war toll und reibungslos. Man ist auf alle unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Es würden verschiedene Menüvorschläge unterbreitet. Alles frisch zubereitet und zusammen serviert. Einfach wunderbar. 26 Personen haben gleichzeitig ihr Essen bekommen. Es wurde jeweils 3 Vorspeisen, Hauptgänge und Dessert zur Auswahl angeboten. Einfach TOP 👍🏻 Der Service war sehr aufmerksam und nicht aufdringlich. Gewünschte Getränke, oder Extras wurden schnell serviert. Es war ein tolles Fest mit sehr leckerem Essen und Wein. Alle Gäste waren total begeistert vom Essen und der Lokation. Wie kommen gerne wieder 😊 Vielen Dank für alles!

It was one of the worst Italian cuisine experiences I have ever had in my life. First, there is no proper menu. It is like a puzzle. Second no pizza for a trattoria and the pasta with ragu was one of the worst o have ever had in my life. I do not know how this restaurant got this rating but totally not recommended.

Great food, atmosphere and super friendly staff. They also were dog-friendly

Unfortunately the price-performance ratio doesn't fit at all and the service was rather adequate, not attentive, annoyed and we had to wait too long for everything. Not worth it...

Rather average. Price-performance ratio doesn't fit.

A wonderful place with Italian style and passion for cooking. The service is at the highest level, especially Francesco 💪😁👍 I am delighted and devastated because I won't eat anything this good even in Italy and I'm too far away to visit you at least once a month 😁 Best regards, and I have to visit you next time I visit Frankfurt. For me, 3 Michelin stars 👍👍👍

Very tasty food at its best, but it also has its price, ambience very nice and cute, small and elegant, but a bit outdated, service not good enough for this price level, it took a long time until they came to check on us

Dieses Restaurant scheint nur Fans oder massive Gegner zu haben, beides wird ihm finde ich nicht gerecht. Das Restaurant ist dem Italiener um die Ecke weit enteilt und es gibt viele durchaus interessante Gerichte die weit weg sind vom Standard. Nur viele Gerichte sind so super dann auch wieder nicht und die Preise passen eher zum sehr edlen Italiener. Nein wir waren zwar schon öfter hier, aber das Restaurant wird in Zukunft nicht mehr mit vorgeschlagen. Versprechen und Wirklichkeit passen zu wenig.

Great atmosphere, fast service but very few halal options.

The food is delicious but the waiters are very rude. Even though the restaurant was empty, they took us to the farthest corner. We don't understand Italian, but the facial expressions say it all! We definitely understood that they were talking about us and joking with each other. It's annoying and ridiculous that they keep asking if it's over even though we're not done yet.
