Da Gianfranco Ristorante Italiano in Hillegersberg-Schiebroek

Food was delicious, good quality and it was cozy there. Highly recommended

Very friendly and cordial owner.

Antre one must order octopus salad and calamari and main dish lamb was superb

Bruscetta was good but bread was wet which was a shame. Seemed like it was prepared in advance. Homemade pasta was delicious. Otherwise a perfect restaurant

Top evening with delicious food

Absolutely recommended. A real Italian. How wonderful.

Qué mala experiencia y qué pena para mis amigos, los defraudé. ¿Por qué? Porque pensé que iría a un auténtico restaurante italiano, lamentablemente no es como crees. Porque el cocinero no es italiano. La comida era terrible, y el servicio era el peor. Además, el restaurante no está de moda y la calidad de la comida es mala y escandalosamente cara. Deja mucho que desear. Si crees que estás comiendo alimentos frescos, lamentablemente no es el caso, la mayoría de los alimentos están congelados y, en la mayoría de los casos, anticuados. Además, nos quedamos impactados y disgustados cuando vimos a la gigantesca rata que salió del bar y entró en la cocina.

Delicious food and friendly people. Often busy, so make a reservation.

Cozy atmosphere, as if you are on holiday, accompanied by a delicious meal and an always attentive Gianfranco

Very atmospheric place and very good food. My favorite restaurant and I've been going there for several years

Great food!!! We had pizza, it was very good but all the other food that we saw also looked amazing. The neighbourhood might seem a bit strange but definitely worth a visit

Delicious food, excellent service and very friendly

Simply wonderful. The food is of excellent quality and truly Italian. Gianfranco is very good, full of charm and very kind. We always feel at home in Italy when we are with him. The place is welcoming. Gianfranco always surprises us with his delicious dishes. Five stars for life!

What delicious REAL Italian food. Gianfranco makes you feel like you are in Italia!

You have the unfortunately standard, well-known mass production companies such as Domino's and New York Pizza, but also the wine bars that pretend to be ristorante pizzerias, such as Pavarotti. Unfortunately, these types of establishments miss the mark and give the true Italian pastry artists a deplorably bad name. Not so Da Gianfranco. You would rather expect this small cozy restaurant under a residential flat, in a residential area in North Rotterdam, on the Meent, the Westblaak or the Bergse Dorpsstraat. What a great tent this is! We were forced to order food at work because a hot meal was not provided. The majority voted for pizza, so we finally ended up at Da Gianfranco. Despite having to order in English over the phone, the waitress who took the order was very friendly and there was no confusion. "Your order will be ready in 20 minutes"..... gas on that board. Upon arrival, I saw that it was a restaurant and not a takeaway factory and was extremely surprised that the order was ready so quickly..... the place was FULL. The waitresses were very cordial and friendly. After less than 5 minutes, I received 6 hot boxes in my hands and a separate container filled with carpaccio, arugula, cheese shavings and pine nuts.... for the ordered Pizza Carpaccio. What delicious pizzas these were. "The bottom is often made of cardboard, hey!" Well, not with Da Gianfranco. If you could say it like that about dough, you could call it tender dough. Great. I once ate the tastiest pizza in Tarvisio in Northern Italy, but these are certainly no less... and it saves me almost 1300 km. Da Gianfranco in Rotterdam: Highly recommended!!!!

We ordered takeaway pizza and were able to pick it up fairly quickly: that was nice. But to be honest, the quality is not what it once was. I missed the 'spark', I didn't think the pizza was special. Prices have also risen, a pity that the ratio is now really skewed. Hopefully they can turn the tide.

We came here based on the reviews, we had an overnight stay due to a morning flight in Rotterdam and were looking forward to Italian... once we arrived we had our doubts (the neighborhood is unknown to us and seemed like a crazy environment...) but once We were warmly welcomed inside and even though we didn't have a reservation, they made the effort to give us a spot (luckily) because wow, what a wonderful place this is! Staff is great and the food is great! Thank you and see you...

Great restaurant. What a beautiful place with super friendly staff. Would love to come here again.

A real Italian restaurant that respects itself, quality of food, very professional staff! COMPLIMENTS

What hospitality and delicious food! We really enjoyed our 1/2 year wedding anniversary! We will definitely come back!

This Italian restaurant is great. Delicious dishes and a real Italian atmosphere. Service is also Italian and that adds to the experience. Maybe not the cheapest restaurant, but definitely worth the money.

Had a good meal here and very friendly service.

Recommended.. I ate very well and the prices are modest...

Delicious pizzas come very close to Italian quality. 8.8 out of 10 for me. The only downside I think is that pizzas are not cut. This would make every customer so happy!!!

Anyone looking for delicious Italian food in a very pleasant family atmosphere, this is the place. With few tables, it is necessary to make a table reservation. The best pizza in Rotterdam, a delicious lasagna, a divine parmigiana pasta and a Tiramisu with pistachios from the gods. I will always come back!!

Good food, good service. 1 minus, glass of white wine ridiculously expensive.

Very nice restaurant, very friendly staff. You imagine yourself in Italy

Super tasty Italian food. Do you miss the taste of Italy? Then you have come to the right place at Da Gianfranco, run by an Italian family. Be sure to book in time. After a delicious starter, main course and dessert with espresso, we had an old-fashioned, tasteful meal. Like in Italy.

What a delicious meal we had! You no longer have to go on holiday to Italy to eat real Italian food. Fine, fine.

In 1 woord super smakelijk eten. De pizza’s echt geweldig, en de pasta met garnalen en parmezaan ook een streling voor je zintuigen en smaakpapillen. Voor ons echt voor herhaling vatbaar.

Subject: possibly discriminatory? Yesterday I went to De Gianfranco for dinner with a friend. We arrived around 5:30 PM, and considering the time of day the restaurant was still quite empty. We were kindly received and allowed to take a seat. Let me start by saying that the food was delicious. The staff was friendly, or at least they behaved that way. Yet at some point I got an uneasy feeling, which I can only describe as a form of “discrimination” (for context: my girlfriend and I both wear a headscarf). There were three moments that evoked this feeling in me: 1. My girlfriend and I had to wait almost an hour for our pasta. Although this in itself is not a disaster, it was noticeable that about half an hour after us, about ten other guests arrived, spread over three tables, and they all received their food before us. This, even though they had arrived considerably later. 2. My friend had almost empty her plate, while my plate was still at least 80% full. Yet soon a waitress stood next to us and asked if we had finished eating and if she could clear the plates. I just agreed because I didn't really feel welcome. I asked if I could take the remaining food in a doggy bag. That was fine. But I felt very rushed. 3. We had planned in advance to have dessert after dinner. But when the plates were cleared, we were immediately presented with the bill, without asking for it. It felt as if they wanted to gently but emphatically tell us that we had to leave. And this while the restaurant was not full and there were no waiting guests at the door. It seemed as if they preferred not to serve guests wearing a headscarf. While I hope I'm wrong, I couldn't help but feel like we weren't welcome. What makes this extra disappointing is that I had previously eaten at this restaurant with my Dutch in-laws and had a completely different, much more positive experience. That's why this experience stood out, especially because I wanted to introduce my girlfriend to what I thought was a nice restaurant. In short, I feel very disappointed. It is a great shame that a positive first experience was followed by such a bad impression. I sincerely hope my feeling is unwarranted, but it was too strong to ignore.

Real Italian in modest accommodation. Not for show, just quality.

This really is an old-fashioned Italian restaurant. Very tasty food and top service. Quality and friendliness are of paramount importance here. We brought our dog with us, she was so spoiled. Received delicious treats separately from the owner and the cook. This restaurant is highly recommended if you want a pleasant and very good meal. We will definitely come back.

Heavenly dinner with very hospitable Gianfranco 🧡💚💜

It is a nice Italian restaurant, where real Italians work who clearly understand what they serve. The owner is a very nice man who regularly comes to chat with his guests. Price/quality is very good

Casual, cozy atmosphere with many regular guests and friendly, prompt service.

Simply delicious! Pizza Parma ham with mascarpone, as they say in the south of France: "to die for..."

I'm going to try not to be too enthusiastic, but what a wonderful old-fashioned Italian restaurant. The smells when you walk in are so nice. Have eaten here quite a few times now. As a starter, the mushrooms with gorgonzola are really great. Last time I had the leg of lamb. Really insanely delicious. Not normal. Next time I'll take pictures.

Delicious Italian food for a very fair price

Da Gianfranco has been a very pleasant Italian restaurant in Schiebroek for many years. We returned to Rotterdam after five years and we noticed that NOTHING had changed in terms of quality, service and conviviality. Compliments! Make sure you book in advance because it is very popular. Just... don't be shocked by the bill.

Excellent Italian restaurant in Rotterdam! The dishes were delicious and well cooked, done with high-quality ingredients. Gianfranco took the time to sit with us and chat a little bit. It felt like being in Italy. Recommended!

Enjoyed the bruschetta, lasagna, pasta vongole and pistachio tiramisu. Friendly and fast service, nice atmosphere, will definitely come back.

Excellent cuisine, impeccable service

Delicious real Italian food in a homely atmosphere

Was here to pick up a pizza. But it looks cozy and there is a good atmosphere. When I was there it was quite full. Friendly staff.

Servizio eccellente , personale molto cordiale Cibo sopra le nostre aspettative , Prezzo/ qualità buono ci torneremo sicuramente.

Molto bene! The best in South Holland

Excellent Italian. Food is okay. Service fine.

Unfriendly service.. Carbonara was okay, Pizza Diavola not spicy and limp, lasagna not worth it House wine for €25, same quality as €5 wine at Lidl. Camping atmosphere, canteen appearance not worth it given these prices

Good italian food. But not very special. The sause had too much parmazane and the pizza was good. Friendlyness was unmatched

Delicious food and drinks for a reasonable price. See you soon!

Delicious food and a wonderful host and hostess! Excellent every time!

Quite a nice Italian restaurant in the Schiebroek district of Rotterdam. Quite traditional. Food is not great but the food is good and the atmosphere and prices are reasonable.

Always fun and delicious food.. 👌😋🍷Greetings Wil & Jeanine.

Goed Italiaans restaurant met aardige bediening.

Goed eten maar ze hebben in korte tijd de prijzen belachelijk duur gemaakt echt associaal gewoon, komt niet meer er zijn in Rotterdam genoeg goede restaurant voor een schapelijke prijs

One of the best Italian restaurants in the Netherlands. For the starter, we ordered Schiacciata which was so-so, it was some sort of Italian garlic bread. We also ordered bruschetta which had onions in the ingredients. The bolognese pasta was super tasty, with a very flavorful bolognese sauce. Pasta carbonara was also super good. The pasta Parmigiano was tasty and creamy as well, although it had only 4 pieces of shrimp in it. The desert tiramisu was a very classic Italian taste and we all liked it. The plate that the Creme brulee was served on was clever. It was broad and shallow, which made the balance between the caramel surface and cream perfectly match.

classic italian food done justice. Great specials and lovely desserts.

Gianfranco is een gastheer van nature, hij zorgt voor een prettige sfeer, lekker eten en hij laat je je thuisvoelen in het beste authentieke Italiaanse restaurant van Rotterdam!

Geweldig restaurant, heerlijk eten in echte Italiaanse sfeer. Heel vriendelijk personeel en goede bediening. Een van mijn favoriete restaurants!

Rotterdam'a yolu düşenlere hararetle önerilir. Butik, ekonomik, sevimli restoran. Rezervasyonu sakın unutmayın.

Fijne mensen. En heerlijk eten welk gerecht dan ook. Ruime keuze en niet te vergeten een heerlijke wijn. Een aanrader.

Leuk echt italiaans restaurant. De eigenaar komt je ook een hand schudden en spreekt je italiaans aan. Het eten is er goed. Ze hebben regelmatig ook glutenvrije pizza. Zou wel even van tevoren bellen of ze deze op het moment dat jij wilt komen ook echt in huis hebben. Top!

Pizzas buenas y muy bien de precio.

Cucina vera tradizionale italiana se si vuole un buon piatto di pasta del pesce o quant'altro della tradizione Sarda ed Italiana

Tweede keer in jullie Restaurant op 17 September 2023 (ronde Tafel) zoals eerste keer echt heerlijk Italiaans eten in een gezellige atmosfeer een absolute aanrader, heb overal in de Wereld gegeten, dit mede door de vriendelijke en aardige gastheer en eigenaar is een van mijn favorite knijpjes geworden. En betaalbaar een 10 met een griffel in mijn boek:)

Aardig personeel, maar de pizza’s zijn slap en niet bijzonder. De pasta’s zijn oke, maar ook niet bijzonder en het is echt te weinig.

Giancranco e tutto lo staf fantastici, cibo ottimo

Geweldig restaurant..goed eten, bediening goed.....sfeervol..gewoon goed

Het beste Italiaans restaurant van Rotterdam en omstreken .

Het is erg gezellig. En eten is heel goed

Een avond vol heerlijke Italiaanse smaken en gerechten. Chef Gianfranco is een expert op het gebied van de Italiaanse keuken en weet precies hoe je de beste pasta, pizza’s en salade maakt. De ingrediënten zijn vers en van hoge kwaliteit, en de wijnen passen perfect bij de gerechten. De inrichting van het restaurant is sfeervol alsof je even in Italië 🇮🇹 bent. Een aanrader voor wie echt Italiaans wilt tafelen!! Het eten is heel authentiek en smaakvol.

De eerste keer hier gegeten. Het eten was heerlijk, de bediening erg vriendelijk. Prijs/ kwaliteit prima. Aanrader dus. Hier komen we zeker terug!

Szuper kiszolgálás, nagyon finom, igazi olasz ételek! Ajánlom!

In 1 woord fantastisch, heerlijk gegeten en de rode huis wijn is favoriet hier

Heerlijke calzonde pizza en pasta parmigianokaas gegeten. Heel vriendelijk personeel. Top! Zeker een aanrader

Echt een super Italiaans restaurant en wat een geweldige ontvangst. De eigenaar heeft echt hart voor de zaak en dan mevrouw nel die helpt ook geweldig hoe ze de klanten helpt. En over het eten ja wat moet ik zeggen TOP GEWELDIG LEKKER, garnalen echt perfect. Wij gaan hier vanaf nu heel vaak komen!

Mumh extra ! Et quel accueil. Allez y

Een leuk en traditioneel Italiaans restaurant. Pasta's en pizza's zijn erg lekker, zeker de moeite waard. Vandaag als voorgerecht lasagne uit de oven. Hoofdgerecht was een pizza calzone (aanrader). Tot slot crème brûlée als dessert geprobeerd, ook die was heel lekker. We zijn er in totaal 5 keer binnen gelopen, en elke keer zeer tevreden vertrokken. Prima prijs-kwaliteitverhouding. Het personeel is heel vriendelijk, toegankelijk en beleefd. Gezellige en traditionele Italiaanse sfeer, en wat ik persoonlijk erg leuk vind is de open keuken. Prima bereikbaarheid en parkeren is geen enkel probleem. Reserveren is wel aan te raden want het zit vaak vol. Ik kijk alweer uit naar ons volgende bezoek, tot volgende week! Groet, Michel

Uitstekend eten en vriendelijke bediening Gianfranco staat zelf in de keuken en komt altijd ff langs of alles ok is

Très bonne cuisine italienne ( de la Sardaigne). Le patron et le personnel très accueillants ! N’hésitez pas , un vrai régal 😋
