The story

Lucullus in Königstein im Taunus: Modern Italian Cooking with House-Made Pasta

Lucullus is an Italian restaurant at Hauptstr. 21B in Königstein im Taunus, Germany, and the Schlemmer Atlas awarded it 2,5 Kochlöffel in 2026. The menu leans on Italian cooking with a modern streak, and the restaurant is listed with a single fork by Gambero Rosso.

Italian cooking with house-made pasta

The Schlemmer Atlas describes the kitchen as creative Italian cooking. Pasta is made in house, and lobster and scallops feature among the dishes the guide highlights. Those two seafood ingredients give the menu a clear point of view beyond the classic trattoria repertoire.

The room and terrace

The building is a half-timbered house. Inside, the look is modern and polished in a bistro style, with wine shelves along the walls. The terrace is laid with care, so the outdoor tables feel as considered as the dining room.
