Bella Vista

Bistro Salvatore

Directly across from the riverfront, Salvatore began his pizzeria in 1968, when he was just 17 years old, making 300 hundred pizzas a day for ravenous Frankfurters. Still considered to be one of the best and friendliest pizzerias in town, he has since expanded the operation into a complete bar and [...]

Calabrese

Located near the Uhrtürmchen (little clock tower) in Bornheim, this quiet restaurant is definitely worth a visit if you are looking for some really delicious pizza. The linen-covered tables and the soft lighting suggest an air of elegance a step up from the local pizza parlour, the pastas and main courses are every bit as good, and, fortunately, the prices are very reasonable.

Dante

Tourist-friendly and easy to find, this Italian eatery could do with some sprucing up. The interior is very old and brown, and less than charming, but its location just around the corner from the Römerberg, and right in front of the Dom makes it a good place to visit regardless. The pizzas are [...]

Das Leben ist Schön

A huge Italian tavern adorned with stills from Fellini films on its walls. Tables are large benches forcing socialization amongst its guests, most of whom are patrons of East Frankfurt nightclubs like Club 190 East or King Kamehameha. Pizzas are spot on Italian style thin crust. It’s a perfec [...]

Good portions of reasonably priced Italian food served in pleasant surroundings, just east of the city centre.

An appealing mix of good food and fun, Garibaldi is a favourite of many locals. The waiters are friendly and energetic, even flirty at times - a glass of champagne sometimes comes free for ladies.

La Trattoria

One of Frankfurt's legendary upmarket Italian restaurants, which serves impeccably prepared dishes ranging from classic Italian cuisine to the chef's daily impromptu creations. Portions are rather scanty, though the required second course should do the trick. A smart choice when looking to impress [...]

Le Note

Located just around the corner from the Arabella Sheraton, this bistro looks decidedly unimpressive. Even upon entering, it looks tawdry. But keep walking and you'll reach Frankfurt’s most impressive winter garden, with a lush tropical garden where you can feast on amazing marinated olives and [...]

Leon D’Oro

This Italian bistro has really exceptional homemade pasta with delectable freshly prepared sauces. The interior fails to meet the quality of food and service, with huge tacky pollocked paintings and ugly brown booths, but somehow the atmosphere is still charming and intimate. The red house wine is [...]

Pizzeria Italia 90

Considered by many to be the best pizza in town. During the summer, tables are set up outside for full service dining, with a team of very friendly waiters, but during the winter, everyone is sadly confined to the small, mostly stand-up seating inside. However, the pizza as well as the incredible s [...]

Difficult to spot, as it sits inside the Museum für Moderne Kunst with its windows actually on (the perpendicular) Braubachstr., but a good one to find.

Vapiano

Quickly becoming one of Frankfurt’s most popular nightspots, you receive a card from the cashier and then go about ordering what you like. Endlessly trendy, the clever owners of this small chain of restaurants have managed to make Frankfurters drool over themselves for a chance to provide their own service. Small touches, good food and great atmosphere doesn’t hurt... [...]
