About the restaurant
Willkommen im due amici by Nuivi

Unsere Küche offeriert eine erlesene Auswahl der italienischen Küche – modern und leicht interpretiert. Frische Pasta, erstklassige, tagfrische Fisch- und Fleischspezialitäten, eine Auswahl vegetarischer Gerichte.

Herzstück unserer Karte sind die piatti da condividere, Speisenvariationen, die in der Mitte der Tafel serviert werden, um sie in gemeinsamer Runde zu genießen – ganz wie es in Italien seit eh und je praktiziert wird und gerade wieder in den angesagtesten Metropolen von Milano bis Roma zelebriert wird.

In Italien ist Genuss überall – auf dem Weg zur Arbeit, beim Einkaufen, beim Treffen mit Kollegen, Freunden,
Familie. Essen ist Leidenschaft!

About the restaurant
Am 05. November 2011 eröffnete das Restaurant seine Pforten. Erleben Sie Südfrankreich in Maintal und lassen Sie sich verwöhnen in mediterranem Ambiente. Lassen Sie sich überraschen, von einem Intérieur provencale, das im Rhein-Maingebiet einzigartig ist.

Geniessen Sie die französisch mediterrane Küche bei einem guten Glas Bordeaux. Wir bieten Ihnen marktfrische Produkte aus Frankreich und der Region, zubereitet in offener Showküche, die es zulässt dem Küchenchef Patrick Theumer und seiner Crew bei der Arbeit für Sie zu zuschauen.

What a great experience! I normally don’t get all worked up and excited about a restaurant, but this is an exception. Tucked away away from the hustle and bustle of busy downtown. Frankfurt. This place is a real gem. The three filet mignon medallions, and three different sauces was outstanding and highly recommended.

About the restaurant
Hervorragendes italienisches Essen ist in Wiesbaden ganz eng mit unserer Familiengeschichte verbunden. Alles begann 1972 mit dem ersten italienischen Feinkostgeschäft in der Bahnhofstraße unter dem damaligen Hotel Luisenhof. Die Qualität der Produkte sprach sich schnell herum, so dass wir schon nach kurzer Zeit zahlreiche Verkaufsstände auf dem Wiesbadener Wochenmarkt beschickten. Mehrere To-Go-Pizzerien bildeten den nächsten Erfolg, der vorläufig mit der Eröffnung eines Restaurants in der Wiesbadener Altstadt seinen Höhepunkt erreichte. Der beliebte Treffpunkt in der Goldgasse wurde über Jahre zur Institution weit über die Stadtgrenzen hinaus. Auch die nächste Restaurant-Gründung in Theaternähe traf sofort den Geschmacksnerv der Italien-Liebhaber im Rhein-Main-Gebiet und ist bis heute – nunmehr unter anderer Leitung – aus Wiesbaden nicht mehr wegzudenken.

It was a business meal. Food was great. The steak was smooth to cut & retained the flavor, the pasta was tasty, one of the best Tiramisu I had. It’s just Pedro dropped the wine on the host, but deeply apologetic and tried to make it with a Grapoa. Alas we weren’t drinking that day:(.

About the restaurant
Es gibt ein Land auf der Welt, das die Begriffe, Essen, Wein und Leidenschaft besser in sich vereint, als jedes andere: ITALIEN!
Deshalb kochen wir bei MOTO59® italienisch.

Das bedeutet für uns vor allem: kein Chichi, kein Schnickschnack oder Firlefanz. Stattdessen einfache, ehrliche Gerichte – diese dafür aber so perfekt wie irgend möglich. Mit den besten Zutaten, die man bekommen kann.

Deshalb stammen unser Mehl und unsere Öfen aus der Welthauptstadt der Pizza: Neapel.
Deshalb ist unsere Pasta frisch.
Deshalb kaufen wir den Thunfisch für unsere Gerichte frisch und garen ihn selbst.
Und deshalb backen wir unser eigenes Brot.

Das gilt natürlich auch für unsere Getränke: Der Kaffee für unseren Espresso wird extra für uns geröstet, die Liste unserer Weine ist handverlesen.

About the restaurant
The Kronenhof is a multi-faceted, sustainable restaurant with its own, multiple award-winning brewery. The shiny, copper brewing kettles are the centerpiece in the brewery's guest room: here the fresh, natural beers are brewed using traditional, artisanal methods and the malt from the farms´ own malting barley.

We obtain our ingredients from selected regional suppliers and offer our guests fresh, regional cuisine that combines traditional and modern dishes.

Hessian classics and brewery specialties are also included on the menu, which is rounded off by seasonal recommendations and chef-selected dishes that reflect the season.
All of this is served in a unique ensemble: The Kronenhof is surrounded by lush greenery and is easy to reach. The beer garden, with its large chestnut trees, offers numerous sunny and shady spots and the little guests can have fun on the playground.
