Apero at EspressoEspresso - a Classic Italian Standing Café by Day and a Trendy Natural Wine and Aperitivo Bar by Night in Frankfurt Downtown (September 2026)

 

Apero at EspressoEspresso - a classic Italian standing café by day and a trendy natural wine and aperitivo bar by night, located right in the historic old town of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. EspressoEspresso used to be a shop for stamp collectors (Briefmarken Pieroth) and the sign is still there. It is owned and run by Claudio and Bared.

Typically, patrons spill out onto the sidewalk of Braubachstrasse to socialize, creating a Southern-European street atmosphere.

The wine selection is non-mainstream, natural, low-intervention wines from small artisanal producers. There is no printed wine list.  We had, inter alia, wines of Jan Matthias Klein in Kroev, Mosel, who we visited earlier this year during Germsny Classic 2026 by Ombiasy Public Relations and Wine Tours with Annette Schiller
