Pizzeria Da Franco

One of the best pizza I had the last years. The owner is very very friendly. Everybody is working hard and are very friendly. The wine is also very tasteful. And all the food for a very good price!
Make a reservation otherwise you have to wait in the line!

Amazing food, nice atmosphere and economical. One of best Italian restaurants in Cologne. The special menu changes every month and every dish deserves its own 05 stars. Will definitely visit in future as well. If available antipasto platter must be ordered.
The flavours of the water were abundant and every bite represented a different and unique taste of it own.

Service was great too, we were offered free drinks at the end. food was served with passion and with explanation of every ingredient. English was available and the service made sure we understand each dish. Even recommended some dishes. Real passionate and authentic Italian experience in Cologne. The menu selection was quite satisfactory as well.

Pizza was made to perfection with perfectly crunchy edges and the best ingredients.

Choose tiramisu for dessert and what an authentic home made dessert it was 😋😋

Restaurant is not located on a major road or block. infact It is quite hidden in a small Alleyway which seemed to be very residential kind of area. Better use Google maps to guide your taxi or use uber :)

Authentic Italian food... Real oven... Amazing pizza... Amazing weekly dishes from authentic Italien chef... Very generous. Prices are acceptable for the quality of food served. Simply I'll always come here if I wanna travel to Italy but stay in Germany. Keep up the good work guys.

We were late and still managed to get tasty food that was well priced and the service was good too.. Thats why the 5stars!

Such a wonderful welcome. We felt right at home and all the food recommendations were perfect and the wine. We all love it there. It felt good to be off the beaten track after carnival mania and it felt like we stumbled into a little family

Authentic Italian food.
We only tried the pizza to take away - multiple times - and it's always very delicious.
Reasonable price and location seems extremely welcoming and cozy.

Friendly staff and large selection of dishes. Try and you will be impressed!

Authentic Italian place, wood oven pizza and cheap prices compared to other places.
It's mostly full so you might have to reserve or wait.

A friend of mine is a regular here. She brought my wife and me here for a special occasion and we were not disappointed. We started with prosecco and ordered a bottled of red wine which the waiter recommennded. My wife had the special pizza, and though not usually a big eater, ate the whole thing. I had the steak and croquettes (#62 I believe) and rarely have a had a steak this good in Europe. The service is outstanding- especially for Europe. I will be back, maybe even as a regular.

This restaurant is an absolute must visit when in Cologne. First of all the service was great! The staff was friendly and the owner was a great host, chatting up with every customer. This is what I imagine what Italian hospitality looks like.
My friend recommended me this place because he knew I really love pizza and boy was he right! I ordered the Gorgonzola pizza and it was an absolute banger! The crust was perfect, which came to no suprise since they use a real stone oven! The cheese was perfectly molten with still some solids on the pizza! My friend had a Fruity di Mare, which left him speechless.
I ordered the tiramisu for dessert, which was just perfect. Housemade with love!
Closed the meal with a shot of espresso which was also great! I can go on but honestly this restaurant is worth the detour or a visit to Cologne alone!

Lovely food at a great price

We went to this place for the first time. Nice place, Italian service and atmosphere. Everybody says something Italian. We tried only pizza since we were looking for rhat.... We will come back for the rest since look really nice. Pizza is good, Italian style, fresh ingredients and important real Italian oven.... The secret of Italian pizza. Bravo Salvatore (the owner) made it really nice and is proud of his work.

Authentic Italian place. The food is quite good. I took pasta and my friend took pizza. We both agreed that pasta is better in this place, though both dishes had nothing to complain about. Also desserts and drinks (Aperol) were good.

Amazing place with original Italian food.
Proud for this restaurant that bring high the level of italian food in the word.
Thank you Salvatore!

This is a 5 Star place everything is delicious and the attention is excellent 👍. Highly recommend it

One of the best experience in a restaurant, properly italian homemade food, fresh antipasto, really good tagliatelle and pizza in a real "fiorno", and the chef, the best host ever. Absolutely obligatory if you visit Cologne 👌🏻
