Restaurant Sorriso

Had a wonderful experience at Sorriso! Robert was a great host and we enjoyed the food. If you’re looking for something without heavy flavours but still tasty, this is the one. I really like how every dish felt refreshing and easy on the palate. I think this place deserves a Michelin at least and I hope more people would patronise it!

The food and the chef’s technique are undoubtedly excellent—every dish was crafted with precision and showcased remarkable skill. However, the overall experience fell short. The atmosphere and music felt mismatched, which detracted from the dining experience. At this price point, where other fine dining establishments deliver a cohesive experience that engages all the senses—taste, sight, sound, and ambiance—this restaurant focuses solely on the food. While that’s commendable, it’s not enough. To truly compete in this category, they should consider investing in the exterior and atmosphere to match the level of the cuisine.

We had a wonderful experience at Sorriso, enjoying a total of six courses. If I could graph the experience, it would start low and rise steadily to the top. Unfortunately, the amuse-bouches were a bit underwhelming for both of us—nothing particularly memorable. The bread was served with homemade butter, but the butter was too cold to spread easily, which wasn’t the best start. However, things took a turn for the better with the first course. The presentation of the beet dish was stunning—a true piece of art. Unfortunately, the flavor didn’t quite deliver, and the dish felt a bit too cold, as though it hadn’t reached the right serving temperature. From that point onward, though, everything was absolutely fantastic. Each dish hit the mark with incredible flavors and thoughtful pairings. The wines, sourced from German and Austrian heritage, were a delight. A smoky cocktail included in the wine pairing added a unique and entertaining twist. Even the unexpected inclusion of ice in one of the courses was a pleasant surprise. The presentation was magnificent throughout, with standout dishes like the chestnut soup, beautifully detailed and bursting with flavor. The tuna served with caviar was another highlight—something I’d been looking forward to for a long time, and it didn’t disappoint. Sorriso is undoubtedly a great place to dine. While there were some minor details that could be improved, they didn’t take away from the overall joy of the experience. With the level of craftmanship and labor put in the dishes, i highly recommend this restaurant.

This was a fantastic dinner for us, the final farewell meal of a 3.5 week trip to Europe. My wife is strict vegan; I am not. The best thing about the meal was that the vegan and non-vegan menus were at parity - the vegan courses had the same visual beauty and taste complexity as the non-vegan. So often restaurants short-change the vegan courses, which was not the case here. I won't bother to comment on individual courses since my understanding is that they change often - some were very good, others were excellent. There were no "misses". Due to our flight schedule I opted for a non-alcoholic beverage pairing, which was creative and include educational narrative. We'll definitely return.

What a wonderful experience. We visited Sorriso for our anniversary and could not be happier with our choice. We picked a 6 course menu with the accompanying wine and were amazed at the taste and quality of the food and the wine selection. What topped up our experience was the courteous and impeccable service we received. Thank you team Sorriso for this great evening and we can't wait to visit again.

I am visiting Frankfurt to celebrate me and wife's 60 birthday. I want to have nice tasting course diner and found the Sorriso from Google map search with very high rating. After leaving hotel at 10 am around 4 PM, we were exhausted and took a nap at the river bank and headed to the Sorriso. We ordered five course seasonal menu with wine pairing. All the food was quite nice and beautiful with lots of efforts. And the owner serves all the guests alone and son-in-law is chef. It were international dishes. It was the first time to have all wine pairing were white. It was quite surprised to realize varieties of whites.

8 course menu. Beautiful presentation, and the waiter talked us through the dishes explaining everything, in English. They had a wine pairing, but we didnt take that.

Perfect spot for a date night. High end creative modern Italian cuisine but it doesn’t hurt your pocket and you would be highly satisfied. Wine that was suggested for pairing with our dishes were perfect. Service is impeccable. Highly recommended to try this new spot.

Sorriso was a nice surprise, in a very quiet neighborhood. The waiter was very pleasant explaining the food, and was accommodating by substituting the dessert for us. The presentation of the food was colorful and pleasing to the eye. The food was delicious.

Our evening at Sorriso was great. The food was of an excellent quality. We will definitely go back again. 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.
