da franco - Trier

When visiting this beautiful city you need to eat pizza in this restaurant. The size is impressive! They are also delicious and good value. It is one of the oldest Italian places in Trier. We are always happy to go back there.

They get what they should expect when they enter an Italian restaurant. the dishes we ordered were sold classically Italian and not “German” as to other places.

General/Ambience After a 3 hour visit to the Rheinische Landesmuseum in Trier, I wanted to have a delicious meal the many impressions of the special exhibition “A Dream of Rome’s Roman City Life in Southwest Germany”. Now the selection of restaurants in Trier is really great. During the walk from the Landesmuseum towards the main market I came in the pizzeria “da Franco”. In the pizzeria in rustic Trattoriacharme you can attach to tables on the window or also quite funny at tables in niches under small roofs on the walls. The counter dominates the rear part of the restaurant with the large stone oven behind it. The tables are covered with red tablecloths, upper white middle blankets, which were immediately replaced by contamination – as I could observe. Everything works neatly and clean. Service This is not only my biggest criticism – as I could read after my visit to the restaurant criticism. There were two waiters in service, a grumbling master around the 60 and a younger one about the 40 years. The elder, probably the cartridge, picked up the order and the disciple supplied me with food and drinks. However, both had one thing in common, they were also word-loving, were very distant, waiting for business, but impersonally and partially insurmountable. My mineral water came ideally tempered very fast, but I had to wait about 50 minutes for the pizza. After the pizza was served, none of the two could look. After 20 minutes, I paid in vain eye contact at the counter. The place was well occupied inside and outside, the voice of tourists; It can therefore be lacking in the otherwise Italian hospitality. There's a lot of air up there. 2 star food The menu is too big and if I had not decided to make a pizza, even if I went to the "da Franco", I would not have liked the choice. The pizza “Diavolo” was best suited for my taste from its composition: tomato sauce, Mozzarella cheese, Peperoni sausage, onions and garlic, a little cake. To delete I ordered a 1 liter bottle of San Pellegrino, 0.3l would have been enough because the pizza was by far not as piquant as hoped. The ingredients of the parchment of pizza were as good as taste, only the necessary “Diavolo Pep” has missed. Since Mozzarella has no dominant character, I would have liked to have the sparingly portioned tomato sauce spicy, even the sometimes rather lump-like peperoni sausage could have been more pikans. Since no one of the waiters was in the conversation, I could not ask for a chili oil to throttle again – if you get it in “da Franco”. Immigrant and persuasive, on the other hand, was the pizza dough from the stone oven, thin and tasty, on the edge nicely crippled and bubble-swinging, perfectly baked, no burnt places. The baker understands his craft. Attention: The large pizza is large as a car wheel and projects on all sides over the edge of the plate. Even if the coating was not entirely in accordance with my taste, I would have picked it up with the necessary "afterwrying ingredients". And also because the dough was so delicious, I forgive about 4 stars. The price-quality ratio has also voted, €9.50 for a handicraft good huge pizza and €5.20 for 1l S. Pellegrino are very good for the Trier city center and value 4 stars.

Leggendo il menù sembra un ristorante pizzeria italiano, ma già gli ingredienti dei piatti sono scritti in tedesco; vista l'ora tarda e la fame siamo comunque entrati.Piatti dal gusto appena sufficiente, insalate gigantesche prezzi nella media del posto.Insomma senza infamia e senza lode ma c'è di meglio, decisamente!

Wir hatten als Vorspeise Crossini mit Mozzarella überbacken und Tomate, Basilikum. Es kamen 2 crosse Brötchenhälften - von der Menge her gut, aber geschmacklich keine Offenbarung.Danach gab es 2x Pizza mit super dünnem Teig (sehr lecker) und Spaghetti mit Scampi, Cocktailtomaten und Zwiebeln - für viele wahrscheinlich ein bisschen viel Öl, aber ich mag das. Ansonsten waren die Spaghetti geschmacklich top, schön al dente.Was uns störte, war die Antwort auf unsere Frage, ob wir eine Pizza halb Thunfisch, halb Salami haben können: "nein, das machen wir nicht, das macht der Koch nicht". Obwohl man den Belag gegen einen Aufpreis hat wählen können ... hätten wir beide Beläge auf einer Margherita bestellt, hätte der Koch alles gemischt, aber nicht nebeneinander gelegt!!!???Das hat den Gesamteindruck leider etwas geschmälert...
