L'Osteria, Italian restaurant in Bornheim, Germany.
L'Osteria is an Italian restaurant in the Bornheim neighborhood of Frankfurt, serving pasta and pizza in a spacious room with wooden furniture and large windows. The layout is straightforward, with well-spaced tables and an open feel throughout.
L'Osteria was founded in Nuremberg in 1999 and grew into one of the largest Italian restaurant chains in Germany. The Bornheim location is one of many that opened across German cities through the 2000s and 2010s.
L'Osteria is part of a German restaurant chain that has adopted the look and feel of a traditional Italian trattoria. The oversized pizzas, which hang well over the edge of the plate, have become a calling card that regulars expect and enjoy.
The restaurant is in Bornheim and easy to reach by public transport. It is fully wheelchair accessible, with adapted tables and accessible restroom facilities.
The pizzas at L'Osteria are intentionally larger than the plate they are served on, with the dough spilling over the edges as a standard feature. This has been a deliberate choice since the chain first opened, not a quirk that developed over time.
