Tuscolo Frankenbad in Bonn

Good pizza, friendly service, and no long waits. The outdoor seating on the street can be noisy depending on traffic. You can also order takeout.

Beautiful location. Friendly service. Unfortunately, parking wasn't great. The pizzas were larger than the thin-crust plate. The salad was good, but with a bit too much dressing. The appetizer plate looked excellent. We all enjoyed our meal.

I thought long and hard about whether to write this review. But since this has happened several times before, I have to do it now, in the hope that things will improve. About the process: I tried to order three pizzas by phone last week. First, the person in charge, Sergio, didn't answer the phone for at least 60 minutes. He was standing at the entrance, as I could see this from the hotel. Then, at some point, he answered the phone, completely disinterested and unfocused. When I went to pick up the pizzas for our meeting, two of them were also wrong. The whole thing seemed very unprofessional, and that shouldn't be the case in a business that's been around for so long! I hope this changes as soon as possible!

The pizza was delicious, but unfortunately, there were fewer toppings than before, and the price was much higher. The value for money is no longer as good.

In my opinion, Tuscolo at Frankenbad makes the best pizza in Bonn. I go there often, including with my guests. The other food is of good quality, but the pizza stands out.

Absolutely beautiful, rustic restaurant...highly recommended!!!

Good time, pleasant service in a cozy atmosphere.

Delicious large pizzas. Standard pizzas can be shared or topped with half and half. Also recommended if you're in a hurry. Sometimes a bit too loud and hectic.

The night before last I had dinner with my uncle and aunt at Tuscolo Frankenbad in Bonn. The pizza I ordered was gigantic and delicious; one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. And mind you: my bar is really high, I am not saying this lightly. The service was fast. The price-quality is excellent. I am already looking forward to the next time.

This is a very, very good pizza, very large, delicious, and reasonably priced. The staff was really friendly. Very pleasantly surprised.

Great service, always friendly. The pizza chefs are always very friendly. The food, of any kind, is always delicious, and you can also choose from a variety of dishes. We're regular customers here.

Huuuge pizzas. Will take half of it home for sure. However not much other choices except pasta.

Very friendly staff, and the pizza was quickly prepared for pickup. Wait time was under 10 minutes—though it wasn't very busy. That's certainly a bit different when the peak shopping season is in the evening.

The pizza, pasta, and other dishes are truly delicious. However, the atmosphere is unloving and the service isn't relaxed. Everything feels rushed.

Here you can get very tasty pizzas from the oven

The staff is friendly, actively involved in the menu selection, and offers helpful recommendations. Sometimes they even politely decline additional orders—so honestly, it's almost uncomfortable! The food is excellently prepared, with authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients. We've tried several Italian restaurants in the area, but this one clearly wins out—both in terms of price and service. We'll definitely be back!

Very good food, and the staff extremely friendly. We were there last Saturday with five people, and we were all very satisfied. We were there for almost 10 hours, I think that says it all.

I love Italian food. I liked the place.

Great ambience I must say the food is divine, drinks are all just right chilled and the service leaves nothing to be desired

Today, after a visit to the museum at the August Macke House, we stopped at Tuscolo with our local history society for a meal with 20 people. Everything went perfectly! Everything was just perfect. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was perfect, and the food was truly delicious. Highly recommended!

Friendly service and excellent food "pizza" delicious! We will definitely come again!!

Super great pizza! Food came very quickly! Friendly staff

Unfortunately, pizza is just average, toppings sparse. What use is a huge flatbread of dough that sticks out over the edge of the plate if there is no topping 4 to 5 cm from the edge of the pizza? The knives are absolutely rubbish, so dull, you have to be careful that the pizza doesn't end up on the table next to you when you try to cut it. New guests have to stand stupidly in the entrance area and wait for the head usher, who also takes care of collecting guests until they are assigned a seat.

Unfortunately we were disappointed. The food was very tasty, but the portions we got were subpar; even a child wouldn't be satisfied with it. Something definitely went wrong. Since we had ordered take-away food, we were unfortunately no longer able to make a complaint on site. Price-performance wasn't right here. For the price, the pasta dishes should also be portioned for an adult. We were still hungry after our meal. Very disappointing.

We'd love to come back! The food was so delicious! We were warmly welcomed and recommended delicious food. You are awesome!!!!

Der Betrieb erscheint mir extrem schlecht organisiert. Service ist offenbar nur angelernt und sehr unaufmerksam. Klassische italienische Fleischgerichte habe ich nicht gefunden. Sehr convenience und Tuscolo bekommt Franchise Charakter.

We went there for pizza and it was just great. We had top service at the table who sweetened our evening alongside the meal. We will be happy to come back

Great pizza, but huge. Can be easily shared.

Hat alles gut geschmeckt, wir kommen gerne wieder.

Very nice staff and the food tastes great! Thank you! See you next time! 👌😊

We've been there several times in the past, the pizzas are good, unfortunately not quite as nice....we were also immediately told to be welcomed for 2 people, only at the table for 2 where everything was free, so we hurried...we were out again in 40 minutes...you can do that

cozy atmosphere, delicious food what more could you want?

Very delicious pizza. Satisfying service. I recommend you to eat here...the food amount each year starts to decrease...it could be related to the crisis...but the quality is present. The Caucasian waiter is kind. The Italian speaker person is kind as well

Das Essen ist nach wie vor sehr lecker, aber innerhalb von zwei Wochen habe ich zwei enttäuschende Erfahrungen mit dem Service gemacht. Dieser ist unaufmerksam, erst bekommt man keine Karte und dann wird entweder gar nicht abgeräumt oder man wird nicht gefragt, ob man noch etwas bestellen möchte. Auch das Bezahlen funktionierte nicht ohne Aufforderung. Und das selbst wenn man direkt neben der Bar sitzt, wo ständig Personal vorbeiläuft.

We haven't visited Tuscolo for a long time, which was obviously not a good idea because yesterday's performance was really, really good. We could choose whether we wanted to sit upstairs or downstairs and had a nice table by the window. Pizza was flawless, hot, great dough, the appetizer platter was generous and the service was prompt and friendly. The last time we had such good pizza was in Bologna. Furthermore, requests for changes are no problem at all and fortunately there is ice-cold Peroni. There's a Tuscolo around the corner, but it can't compete with this restaurant by any means. We'll definitely be back soon.

If you are really hungry, try the pizza, for the rest, chooe whatever you like. The staff is really friendly, and the location is excellent. Make sure to reserve a table in time.

Best pizza I ever had outside of Italy ! Incredible ! It truly feels like you’re in Italy thanks to the amazing team and food. Will go back when I return to Germany !

Top pizza, highly recommended! One point deducted due to service: Even if there is a lot to do, there is no reason not to be nice. Well, at least the espresso that wasn't served wasn't charged for. That's why I'll happily go there again with colleagues.

I love Tuscolo's pizza and often eat there with friends, especially when someone comes to visit me. The food is usually excellent and the service is friendly and attentive – always a very good experience overall. Unfortunately, things were different on our last visit. The waitress who served us spoke to us in a rather condescending tone. When I wanted to order a pizza with two different halves (which apparently wasn't possible), she said, "Do you know what I mean?" in a way that made us uncomfortable. I understand German, but since it's not my native language, I sometimes ask questions or need a moment to process information - that shouldn't be a problem. Later, the plates and the bill were placed on the table rather abruptly and there was hardly any question as to whether we would like anything else. Overall, this time the visit felt rather unfriendly and distant, almost arrogant. We have always found Tuscolo to be a place where you feel welcome - often someone will ask how the food was or where we are from, which is a nice personal touch. Unfortunately we missed that this time. I hope that was an exception because I actually really enjoy coming here.

Vorweg...es gibt mehrere Tuscola in Bonn! Wir waren im Tuscola Fankenbad. Sehr Leckere und Große Pizza. Coole Lokaischen. Nette Kellner. Wir kommen gerne Wieder.

Whatever the reason, pizza is so much tastier here than at the Münster. Fluffy and crispy at the same time and deliciously topped. Maybe I should take the further route more often 😉🤗👍🏼

When visiting Bonn, you must try this Italian restaurant it’s truly one of the best. You can tell it’s authentic from the rich aromas that stay with you even after you leave. The food is outstanding, comparable to what you would find in Italy itself. It’s a true go-to spot for anyone who appreciates real Italian cuisine.

We wanted to eat pizza with my family (9 people) after a trip. We had reserved and because we arrived at the restaurant at 5 p.m., not every table was occupied. To say it straight away, every single dish was okay. Personally, I have the feeling that the quality there has declined in recent years, or at least there are fluctuations, but my family was happy with the food. What has been bothering us for a long time is the service and everything else. You feel like you're in a pizza chain and everything is just mass production. I think even the lostaria is doing better in terms of service. The head waitress at Frankenbad (at least she pretends) doesn't have her tables under control. Orders are not taken on time and not just at our table. These are things that I can somehow still accept in a pizzeria. Still annoying, of course. What doesn't work at all are warm drinks, the main course (pizza) which comes during the starter and the pasta which comes almost 10 minutes later like the pizza. When asked about these circumstances, the "head waitress" only replied that it was the kitchen's fault. It's also good to have a boss like that. What you can say about this is that the time management in Tuscolo hasn't been good for a long time and I have the feeling that they... don't care. The main thing is that the guests leave quickly and the tables are free. I doubt whether this is a concept for a family restaurant. For me, Tuscolo has developed into a bad franchise restaurant.

Ordered food to pick up. I arrive and see the pizzas on the table. Ask the bearded, Arabic waiter if these are our pizzas. He says: I'm still responsible. I asked him to take a quick look, otherwise he would get cold, and mentioned the best order. He looked and said no. 5 minutes later the colleague comes and the order was placed. He deliberately lied to me because he didn't feel like it, that's not possible! impudence

Today we unfortunately had to realize how badly the staff were treated with one another. There were complaints that colleagues were too slow, they were constantly spoken to in an unfriendly manner by colleagues, and sometimes younger colleagues were treated unpleasantly and used as errand boys. As a guest you noticed an unpleasant atmosphere on site! You could tell straight away that some of the staff felt extremely uncomfortable there

There were three of us and we ate different dishes. Everyone at the table was very satisfied with their food, the service and the extremely short waiting time. My super delicious pizza was topped with lots of shrimp, plenty of salmon and four king prawns - mega. Best pizza ever...

Food is great, but the waiter managed to do it with 3 women and a man at the table where one of the women specifically said that she was paying, but between all the women she put the bill between the man and the man and specifically addressed him about it

Unfortunately, my birthday dinner at Tuscolo in Bonn was a disappointment. Despite reservations for a nice table, our table was not free. We were seated at a table right in front of the toilets, the door of which was broken and was constantly in danger of falling over. That was very dangerous with my one-year-old daughter. Unfortunately the service was really bad. The older Italian waiter was unfriendly and unmotivated. He didn't seem to care about the broken door and told another guest that the door had been broken for a long time and that the boss knew about it but wasn't sending any repairmen. We asked for another table because the space was too dangerous for us, especially because of our daughter. The waiter was annoyed and said he would clean a table straight away. We had to bring our drinks and cutlery to the other table ourselves because he simply left again. We had to ask several times for a child's chair, even though it was obvious that one was needed and that was stated when making the reservation. When the food came, my husband got the wrong dish, which we wanted to point out straight away, but the waiter had already left. Another table had my husband's food, it could still be exchanged, but there was no apology. The food was delicious, but the incredibly poor service unfortunately spoiled my birthday a bit.

Once and never again. Begun when taking the order, we had to wait at least 20 minutes and ask several times until the food was served, which was staggered and 2 out of 3 people only got the food 30 minutes later, while one person waited until the food got cold. None of the employees felt responsible. Asking - no matter which waiter - leads to nothing. Conclusion: Everything is very tedious, hectic and not customer-oriented.

We had reserved a table for three people in the Tuscolo Restaurant by phone and mentioned directly that there would be children. We asked for a quieter place because it's just more pleasant with children. However, when we arrived we were told there were no reservations - even though we had definitely made them. Additionally, I was asked to leave the stroller outside. I found that to be very child-unfriendly. A stroller is simply a must - especially when the baby sleeps in it, as was the case with us. Of course I took him in with me. Unfortunately, the assigned table was not in a quiet corner, but in the middle of the passage - absolutely unsuitable for a visit with a child. Unfortunately, the service also left a lot to be desired: When we politely asked to cut the pizza, we were answered unfriendly: “This is not a pizzeria.” A few minutes later someone came to cut them - although we had already done it ourselves. This type of communication simply does not fit into a good service experience. The next unpleasant point: We found a hair in one of our dishes (the pasta). This kind of thing is unhygienic and shouldn't happen in a restaurant of this class. What was even more disappointing was that this dish was still on the bill as normal. We were offered dessert as an apology - which we generally see as a nice gesture - but a dish with a hair shouldn't be charged. This time the food was also not convincing in terms of taste. The pizza was disappointing - I know of many better alternatives. I was here once about two years ago and was quite satisfied back then, but unfortunately the quality has deteriorated significantly since then. Conclusion: Unfortunately this was the last visit to Tuscolo for us.

Food great Service great The ambience is deducted because you couldn't have a conversation again

The Tuscolo probably has its best days behind it. The pizzas: no trace of passion, but prepared with great disinterest and randomness. In terms of taste, it's more of a homage to boredom. The pizza base is neither light, soft nor porous, but develops geological properties as it cools and works defiantly against the knife. In addition, there is a hectic service that knows how to nip any sense of comfort in the bud. Too bad.

Food (pizza and salad) wasn't that great!

Tuscolo am Frankenbad is my absolute favorite Italian restaurant. The pizzas are super tasty, well topped and huge. I also eat pasta often, it's also very tasty. No matter when I go there, it's always full, but I've never been turned away, there's always a place with a short wait.

Very tasty food 😋 But the cutlery was a nightmare. Blunt knives and even with forks the pizza couldn't be put on skewers and held in place. The furnishings should also be revised a bit.

Endlich ein richtiges italienisches Spaghetti carbonara war super lecker die Kellner super lieb war einfach klasse 👍

It tastes very tasty, thank you

simply great. best pizza I have ever eaten.

There are certainly better restaurants in Bonn. Overwhelmed service. Very loud noise. Requests for changes were not accommodated.

Das Essen ist gut, das war es aber auch! Service unterirdisch! Wir kommen nicht mehr wieder! Die Kellner sind so was von unfreundlich und unverschämt.

Everything is great here. It can get a bit noisy inside because all the tables are usually full. Otherwise very authentic food! Recommendation!

Food was bad Hospitality zero The wine was a disaster And we weren't wanted

Food very good as always. (Various pizza and pasta) There's usually something going on, so take your time. Otherwise very nice service.

An absolute highlight of our lunch break! Tusculo at Frankenthal in Bonn impressed us with fantastic food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. We sat outside and enjoyed typical Italian hospitality in the perfect weather. The pasta was perfect, with extra Parmesan cheese on the side – a small detail that makes all the difference! To finish, we had a delicious tartufo, a strong espresso, and an aromatic grappa – exactly what you imagine an Italian lunch break to be. The service was super attentive and courteous, which made the visit all the more enjoyable. Definitely a recommendation for anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cuisine and a great atmosphere. We'll be back!

Great Italian restaurant, the food is top-notch and highly recommended. The dessert, espresso, and grappa taste typically Italian. We were very satisfied.

The pizza was super tasty and really crispy. This is how I imagine a pizza. The atmosphere is very nice and relaxed.

One of the best restaurants in the city. Very tasty food, excellent service. Been coming here for years. It is always very busy, so we recommend reserving a table, especially in the evening. The only drawback is that it can be a bit noisy due to the high occupancy.

The best pizzas in Bonn. We are always thrilled. The service is great. Although it is always full, the waiting times are not long. Reservations are recommended.

I wasn't satisfied! The seats were not cleaned. The food was very little and the prices were, in my opinion, overpriced. The staff didn't put in a lot of effort.

Enttäuschend...leider. Service unfreundlich und nicht kundenorientiert. Ein langes Haar im Pastagericht, Als Wiedergutmachung gab es ein ungewolltes Mini - Eis, die nicht zu Ende gegessene Pasta mussten wir trotzdem zahlen. Da gehen wir nie wieder hin.

Visited dozens of times and have never been disappointed! Authentic and simply great!

Essen OK aber Service und Freundlichkeit eine KATASTROPHE . Eine Frechheit wie hier die Gäste behandelt werden und das war nicht das erste mal.

Wir waren heute nach sehr langer Zeit mal wieder im Tuscolo am Frankenbad - der letzte Besuch müsste 10 Jahre her sein. Was das Thema Pizza angeht, haben wir uns mittlerweile durch unsere Urlaube auf Sardinien, an der ligurischen Küste und in Florenz kulinarisch einfach weiterentwickelt. Die beste Pizza in Bonn gibt es hier irgendwie leider nicht mehr. Die Pastagerichte waren lecker aber auch nicht wirklich überragend. Was die Antipasti angeht, ist sie leider immer noch so extrem kalt wie vor 10 Jahren. Die Bedienung ist aufmerksam und freundlich. Wir sind leider irgendwie keine Tuscolo-Fans mehr.

We ate here when we were visiting Bonn. Very tasty and generous portions. The selection of pizzas is very good.

We went to dinner with friends this evening, I ate pasta with cream sauce and my daughter ate pizza and both dishes were incredibly delicious. I hope I spelled the name Dijvar correctly 😂 he was the only positive employee in the place with his friendly, helpful and excellent aura. I think the other employees did not seem to be working very willingly due to the intensity, but the food was simply excellent.

Unfriendly and rude staff! The unfriendly person is the tall, young waiter with the beard. I was there to order food and pick it up later. He asked me if I was drunk! What a disgrace! When my husband picked up the food later, the waiter told him that the woman (me) was totally drunk! I have never experienced such impudence from a waiter. Waiter is there to take orders and he is not supposed to comment anything! What's more: when we picked it up, the pizza was totally cold, even though the time of pick-up was expressly mentioned.

We had a great place (8 people) A great waiter and had a great meal. Keep it up😀👍

The food is tasty as usually 👌🏻. Special thank you to the charismatic man at the bar🍸❤️❤️❤️

To this day, Tuscolo am Frankenbad is my favorite pizzeria in Bonn. The service sometimes leaves something to be desired at peak times, even though there are a lot of staff working. Even then, the quality of the food doesn't decrease. There is the best tiramisu I have found so far on site and there have been a few occasions where we have been there just for this dessert. The restaurant is also suitable for large groups of between 10 - 15 people and we have already held several celebrations there

The food is very tasty and portions are really big. It's always full here in the evenings, which speaks for itself, but the staff still goes to great lengths to serve everyone well. Recommended)

The food is quite solid, the waiters are friendly but the tables are very close together. You can't talk about anything that you don't want half the store to hear

Unfortunately, our waitress ignored us several times last time Otherwise, the food was great and the portions were very large. For me the best tusculo branch and always extremely good. Gladly again!

Best pizza in Bonn. The service is quick and to the point. Ambiance is chic but also loud.

One of the top restaurants in Bonn. Everything is just right.

I actually really enjoy going to Tuscolo regularly. Unfortunately, around midday I was forced to wait for my ride nearby in the cold and wanted to sit in the restaurant for half an hour. Unfortunately I was told that I wasn't allowed to order "just one drink" and was then sent out. The store was far from full and the temperature outside was below zero. You can also treat potential customers more kindly :)

Very very tasty. Best pizza of my life.

Sorry, but that didn't work at all. We had reserved a table, but it took 20 minutes until we got it. While we waited we stood in the cold of the constantly opening door. After we had our table, another 25 minutes passed, including the order, until we got something to drink, including the order. My pizza was great, but charging €32 for a tomato salad with some decko (statement from the MA) plus 4 prawns is really abysmal. It's a shame when the masses leave the class behind.

Despite the size of the restaurant, there is a friendly and familiar atmosphere here. I have enjoyed being a guest here for over 20 years.

They have overcharged me, the Spanien pizza has always been worth €13 and here, in the online menu it is still €13, I ordered a pizza to pick up, and when paying by card they charged me €14.90, yes They have raised the price, it is stupid, €2 more at once, but even so, if their official online menu is wrong, it is not the consumers' fault.

Tuscolo, leckere Pizza in gemütlicher Atmosphäre. Schneller Service und freundliche Kellner.

Famous for the huge pizzas that no one can actually eat alone. Constantly crowded in the evenings. Service stressed accordingly. In a group of 6 people we had to wait half an hour until someone asked what we wanted to drink. You no longer need to be particularly attentive. The food is actually overrated. But the best thing: the waiter actually sprays every vacant table with Sidolin while guests are still eating at the next tables! They can then eat their food in the Sidolin spray mist... Delicious! He hasn't heard of food hygiene yet. Despite the lack of staff in the catering industry, you should teach your employees a few basic concepts and avoid chemically contaminating the food and the lungs of the guests.

Always happy 😊 One of our favorite restaurant in Bonn.

Es war sehr lecker. Der Service ist freundlich. Äußerst empfehlenswert! Wenn Sie Tiramisu mögen, BESTELLEN SIE ES I LOVE ITALIAN FOOD!

Best Italian restaurant far and wide! The pizza tastes unmistakably good! Never eaten like this anywhere else - not even in Italy. The pasta is always al dente and very tasty. The antipasti platter is very diverse. The price/performance is absolutely🔝! We have been coming here for years and it will stay that way! 😉

I've rarely eaten such good Italian food and that's saying something: Fettuccine Salmone, Insalate Mista and homemade tramisu were perfect. Very friendly service from Dijwar Arslan 👍

A great address for excellent quality pizza in Bonn since my childhood. Price performance: TOP! If pizza - then Tuscolo

The best pizza ever and the staff is friendly and accommodating.

Always delicious. Very nice service.

Top service, food tasted delicious.

Always happy Very tasty food, great service and they always try to accommodate guests even without a reservation.
