Unfortunately, we didn't find the price justified for the food. If you have no prior experience with fine dining, you'll probably be satisfied. However, if you have something to compare it to, you'll realize there's room for improvement—both in the food and the service. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't worth the price.
I had the four-course set menu, and my husband chose three dishes from the à la carte menu. The portions were ample—I was even more than full! As I mentioned, the food was tasty. They tried to incorporate some unusual touches. But I wouldn't call it "Michelin-star quality," as some reviews here occasionally suggest.
We were disappointed with the wines by the glass. Apart from the Bacchus, we didn't enjoy the rest.
The service was friendly, but unfortunately inattentive. Drinks weren't refilled even when glasses were empty, and one glass wasn't properly clean. At times, things seemed a bit disorganized.
... Furthermore, there was a family celebration in the main hall with a horde of children who didn't know how to behave, and their parents didn't seem to want to teach them any manners. A reminder from the staff regarding the noise level would have been appreciated.
Anyone who loves Italy will adore La Vespa on Hafenstrasse! A beautifully renovated restaurant with pure Italian flair! Here you'll find authentic, high-quality dishes, homemade pasta and pizza, genuine Italian antipasti, and much more! La famiglia – that's La Vespa! Pure warmth, attention to detail, and a high level of quality. You'll find all of this here (and, of course, in the food you're served)!
You absolutely must try and visit La Vespa! 😉
Absolutely delicious food and very friendly service, highly recommended!!
We called half an hour before the kitchen closed to ask if it would be possible to order hot food, which isn't something you normally do, but the lady on the phone was very friendly and said it was no problem.
We arrived and were immediately greeted very warmly with the words: "You just called, didn't you?" Just choose a table you like. In short: The food was fantastic! The service was fantastic! And the atmosphere was excellent too. We'll definitely be back.
Kurzbesuch am Samstag Nachmittag,
Sehr freundlicher, aufmerksamer Empfang, das Restaurant war gut besucht, wir haben dennoch schnell einen netten Platz bekommen und wurden sehr schnell, freundlich und aufmerksam bedient, die Wartezeit für die Pizzen war sehr gut, die Pizzen groß, Heiss und knusprig, reich belegt und wirklich sehr schmackhaft! Die Frische und Qualität der Zutaten war sehr ansprechend und der Geschmack war überzeugend. Guter Service, gute Pizzen, guter angemessener Preis! Ein sehr angenehmes Ambiente - meine Empfehlung!
We went there with our friends on a recommendation and we can definitely recommend it! The food was delicious and the value for money was excellent!
We'll definitely be back!!!
Das Hotel mit einem guten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist am Rand von Lichtenfels gelegen.
Die Zimmer sind modern eingerichtet und zum Teil durchsaniert. Einige Zimmer haben auch noch alte Bäder aus 1990iger Jahren.
Frühstück ist dem Hotelstandard entsprechend. Positiv: als morgens eine Brötchensorte alle war, konnte sehr schnell „extern“ nachgeliefert werden.
Service ist gut und freundlich. Die Zimmer nach hinten hinaus trotz Straßennähe sehr ruhig.
Gutes italienisches Restaurant im Hotel in dem man auch später am Abend essen gehen kann.
Für einen preiswerten Kurzurlaub in Oberfranken gut geeignet!
Delicious Spanish food and incredibly welcoming!
The location is a bit chilly, not very cozy – more of a beer hall than a Spanish bistro… there's room for improvement with some decor and warmer lighting.
But the food is absolutely fantastic!
