In preparation for our recent Frankfurt trip, I reviewed several local websites for restaurants…read morethat were designed for foodies. One of the restaurants that appeared on multiple lists was Heimat. The chef/owner responded to my request for a reservation while he and his staff were on holiday. It was wonderful to meet him in person and express my appreciation. The restaurant features a contemporary design with indoor and outdoor seating. The open kitchen is directly behind the counter seating. We started with the Pumpkin Soup that our server suggested we split. It was amazing. My daughter ordered the Panzerotti pasta with blue cheese, plum and oyster mushroom. My choice was the Veal Fillet which was a substantial serving and incredibly tasteful and tender. The Pear Strudel was a perfect desert to end our meal. Excellent service, pricing and presentation. This restaurant deserves it own Michelin star.

The fries could have used more seasoning. The sweet potato fries are better. Get the spicy dipping sauce. There are toppings like jalapeño, avocado, grilled onion to build your own flavor profile which is nice. They have a vegetarian burger option.

The Chef spoke English and came out to read and explain the menu to us. We had a burger yesterday (Smokey Pete) and it was so fabulous we had to come back today for their pork sandwich. The bun they served is gluten free but you'd never know it. The sandwiches and sides are all exceptional. We enjoy Diet Coke for a beverage and the German version is excellent. While we were eating both days, we noticed many of the locals eat here. We can see why. This restaurant is outstanding!

Excellent service and wonderful food. Lots of pasta, of course, but also fish on the menu.read more

I had a salad to start, which was beautiful to look at and to eat: sautéed pears on slightly herbal greens, with pecans and blue cheese. Our friends had a salmon tatar and my husband a pasta dish. Main course was also great - I had a beautiful plate of 3 grilled scallops, 4 grilled shrimp and a few gorgeous tortellini. I think my husband had lamb, which looked great. I didn't pay too much attention to what our friends ate, since I was so occupied by my plate, and so surprised to actually be eating food of that level in Sachsenhausen! Kids had a modified pasta dish and a steak. Our 4 adults ate three courses (with just one main course for each of two kids), each had an aperitif, split one bottle of wine (or was it two???), and had coffee for about 300 euros. I'd also say Sorriso was a place you can take business guests, or host a family event. We'll be adding this to our list of regular go-to restaurants. For people in the neighborhood: We were huge supporters of Paulo's - a restaurant previously at this location, but found that the succeeding restaurants really did not fit our style. The quality of the food at Sorriso now surpasses all restaurants there in the past 10 years, and is probably better than most restaurants now in Sachsenhasen.
