"It was only through pure chance that I first visited Tapas Locas and I am ever thankful to the other nearby tapas restaurant who, after booking a table two hours in advance, told us that we hadn 't called, eventually conceded that we did call but had given our table away and then told us to leave as they were too busy to seat us. Many thanks to them for their inefficiency as we then found this real gem of a restaurant instead. The menu provides a good selection of tapas to choose from without being too extensive as to compromise the freshness of the food, the portions are a good size and are fairly priced, the food is absolutely delicious and the drinks are also very fairly priced, with a glass of the dry red house wine (which for me works perfect with most tapas) costing EUR3.60 for 0.2l. Personal highlights of the menu for me are the 'Pimentos de Padrón ' (fried baby green peppers with sea salt), Mejillón en Vinegreta de Pimientos (cold green lipped mussels in a pepper vinaigrette) and the Pan y Allioli, which although simple to do, is made with the perfect balance of garlic. Tapas Locas is only a small restaurant so reservations are recommended but this adds to the cosy feel of the place and also ensures that you feel looked after by the staff for the duration of your visit. The staff are attentive without being overbearing and are happy to recommend dishes to you, which have proven to me to be well worth taking. Although the restaurant can get busy at times I have never felt rushed to leave to seat more people in our seats, in fact one time I even had to convince the waiters that we were just about to pay the bill to stop them from turning away more customers. This was my third visit to Tapas Locas, where once again I have felt welcome, enjoyed everything I ate and left feeling very satisfied indeed. Highly recommended."

"Portofino Ristorante Pizzeria Try what I had! Spinach and fine risotto stuffed homemade ravioli (on the menu as totelloni with a generous, peppery, buttery gorgonzola and sliced almonds sauce. An equally generous portion size of four large pastas continues to melt in your mouth...and never 'separates '. I even managed to taste my husband 's delicious bolognese inspired, amply cheesy lasagna. Although a wonderfully garlicky bread basket accompanied the meal, it mainly served as decor only in that we couldn 't eat so much. Desserts are homemade and the wine and beer are very reasonably priced. No room for dessert, sadly, but the suggestion of tiramisu was tempting. By the end of the welcoming and lengthy visit, at which there is no rushing by the staff, and after a futbol game on the outside tv in the semi enclosed terrace, the cost of meal, including one glass of the Montepulciano wine, two beers and a double espresso was just 34 Euros. This was our second visit in a week, and we were made to feel at home like the mainly local, regular clientele. It appears to be family owned. It is family friendly and dog friendly. Barking and smoking permitted. Our hotel (Aria Hotel , several winding streets around, yet nearby, suggested Portofino to us for what would be our first dinner in Frankfurt. (We had eaten authentic German fare for lunch also a good review. We shared a Margherita pizza, which was thick crusted with a tangy sauce and a little less cheese than I normally prefer. Again, it was more than enough for my husband and I to share."
