Farinelli Da Franco - Hamburg

My experince here left me with mixed emotions. For starters the service was somewhat confused - 2 waiters would ask us the same questions within minutes of each other and than we would be left alone for extended periods. Knowing my dislike of warm red wine my colleague had informed the restaurant up front to cool 2 bottles of red wine to 18C. Upon our arrival we were then served 10-12C cold red wine....well at least they tried. The scallops we had as starters were extremely oily and with chili peppers which completely dominated the delicate taste of the scallops. The lamb to follow was however excellent! bathrooms are small and not very clean...

We went here every 2-3 weeks over the past few years and had almost everything from the menu. Definitenely one of the best pizzas in town. Service is not always the friendliest but that's the genuine italian experience ;-)Try truffel pasta and you won't be disappointed. Always packed, try to book a table in advance.Long term customers might get a space at Franco 's family table.

I am living near by and we are guests at Franco's Almost every week! The atmosphere is relaxed and charming and the Service is good too. I Love The Pasta with Parmesan & Truffles! And the Lunch Menu price is amazing.

Got pasta bolognaise, the worst kind i ever had. Pasta was undercooked, and the sauce was bland and tasted not good. Service no good - stay away....

2 dinners and a lunch in 4 days, all of them excellent. The food was really good and came often "piping hot". The service was very good and the prices are moderate. Noted were a great many of the guests spoke Italian, and the restaurant was packed for lunch and late dinners.
