"Several years ago, Vicinoteca was one of our favorite restaurants in Schweinfurt. In 2014 we had several disappointing experiences there and had not been back until this visit. Fortunately, the restaurant has regained its reputation for excellence and I can again recommend it. The dining area is very cramped. Many guests were seated on high bar stools and ate their meals from small round cocktail tables. As the restaurant is always crowded, reservations are strongly recommended. The menu features the usual Italian favorites. We four had and shared orders of Calamari, Ossobucco, Miesmuscheln, and a Spaghetti Bolognese. My Calamari was one of the best I have ever had, but it came with only a small portion of bread. The Ossobucco was very nicely seasoned, but the meat was stringy. The Miesmuschel had such tasty seasoning that I ranked them among the very best I have eaten. Unfortunately they came with no starch and we had to order two portions of Italian Bread at 4€ per roll sized portion. Most restaurants include the bread as part of the price with Calamari, or Miesmuschel. The Spaghetti Bolognese was the least expensive main courses on the menu and was good, but nothing special. With a kitchen this good I recommend that you try things that you cannot get in every other Italian restaurant. The wines, as always, were very good. Vicinoteca has a small but fine selection. Our past experience is that they can be trusted, especially for moderately priced quality wines The wait staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. The four of us ate for 82€. Vicinoteca is again among the cities very best restaurants."

"Today we were walking in downtown. At noon, there's something French-German food right. One of them is open only in the evening, others have a holiday or in the summer season only from 3 p.m. We are not to visit the friends from the middle of a restaurant, so what is it, only Franconian cuisine. And we were still lucky and got the last free table, all occupied or reserved. Here you should really book, some guests had to go back. It is located in the middle of the market square of Schweinfurt. We have not seen our own parking spaces, nearby there is a garage, or public parking bays. Here, however, it costs 1 € every hour. In front of the house there is an outdoor seating, which was not usable for the weather this afternoon. When you get to the house you think you have to overcome steps from everywhere. In front of the entrance on the right, a long ramp goes up. The toilets are flattering. Service We had to wait until the service came to us. She greeted us kindly and we asked for a place for two people and she meant this last free table. We took place, the drinks card is already on the table and after a short time she came to us and asked – where the f i eiach to the inga Bringa- The drinks then brought another lady, greeted us friendly and meant good. It didn't take long and we could give up the food order. The salad was served in front of us a guada desires. The two foods came to the table at the same time and we wished a good appetite. The lady who had received our orders wished us to go by again to guadn. There was no intermediate demand whether everything would fit, but the empty plates were immediately noticed and asked if it tasted and we were satisfied. We are not dessert fans now, but I think once you would ask if there should be a dessert there will certainly be some who order one. We had just drowned out and ordered the bill, wanted to make room again. She came to the table immediately, asked if everything was right, compared what was in her device, grabbed our Ok and asked if we needed a document. On our yes she said – bring i eich glei- . She quickly came back with it, thanked herself again, wished us a nice day and kindly passed us. The whole crew can be seen in the same way, they have all blue-white carded blouses/ shirts and also a blue diocese pink. They are all very friendly and attentive. What we noticed and you should think about is if you don't have someone who takes the guests in reception. Some stood for a whole time until the service had time and there was in between the “ Huaglboua” who came in and stormed at a table and occupied him. The service knows the table is still free and then the guests are already occupied. We thought it would be like this again – deliver, cash and everything quickly. It's not like the service and the kitchen. Four stars. Food The menu has a blue cover and the printed solid leaves are held together by a wooden bar. In addition, there was a clamping board with current offers. There are Franco-German cuisine here. It is mostly fleshy, but all others are also thought of. She's not too overloaded with courts either. We had two alcohol-free wheat at 3,20 € each, the brunette with beer sauce with potato dumplings and herb salad for 12,90 € and medallions from the pork fillet at cream sauce from fresh mushrooms with homemade latency and fresh market salad for 13,80 € The herb salad tasted very good to white wort, had a nice acidity note and so was. There were also a few fresh small cubes of peppers with inside.We still like cumin, that gives a nice taste. In the case of salads, there were also some herb salad, beans that were cooked in a bit dry, really nice after beans and were made a little sour. Then there were mixed leaf salads that were marinated in a vinegar oil dressing that was nicely balanced and slightly crisp. There was a cream on top of it. All mixed together and the salad tasted us. The brunette had a neat size and was tender and juicy. It was really nice of the bone. From the seasoning there was no complaint and the skin was really nice resch. The dumplings had a consistency as we like them and were filled with bread cores. They tasted very well for potatoes and were beautifully tasted. The sauce also had a very nice taste, was slightly tied but for us not really a booze sauce. She was slightly creamy and slightly acidic. Doesn't she have anything to do with sour roasts? There were four large pieces of meat on the medallions. This was delicate pink and juicy cooked. From the seasoning perfectly and there was a wonderfully tasty sauce that would have been spooned out. Cremig, creamy, slightly picky and kind of easy to taste after Cognac, gorgeous. The fresh champignons then gave the i-tap on top. It was still very good with fresh spring onions. The Spätzle – for all those who now say again, these are dumplings, with us in Bavaria this variety is also called Spätzle, that is, all late zle - were cooked to the point, tasted slightly buttery, have enough salt and what they still gave pure we cannot say they tasted wonderfully good. The portion for the price and taste all pointed, at any time happy again. The plates were also preheated, very nice. We just didn't like the soap sauce. 4.5 star atmosphere There is here on the right side a flat area which is delimited by the gear at the entrance by cassettes. In these windows are embedded in the decoration which has to do with beer. These windows are also illuminated. In this area there is an outer corner bench with tables and chairs in front. Thus, one is variable with the position of the tables, always adapted to the number of guests. Most of the tables are designed for 4 people. Just through the entrance is the cups. There are many high windows here and between the windows there is a dark wood cladding on which there are a few flower sticks. On the left side from the entrance there are high leather benches in dark brown with high tables to it, intended for each 2 persons. Behind it there is an increased area which is not visible from below. You only see the guests' heads. It is all held in dark wood and the table tops have a bright wood. On the table there is a brown shroud of a kind of plastic. There is a jug with cutlery and napkins, a beverage card, a stand with salt and pepper spatters and a decorative element with a tea light. A modern Bavarian economy. Something else, but somehow we liked it. 4 star cleanliness There was nothing to complain about what we could check. The toilets are all clean and it is nice when you enter a toilet and it smells fresh. 5 stars"
