Trattoria Toscana in Heidelberg

As always, it was very nice and we enjoyed the food. In a restaurant with this class of food, I miss something small, simple but important for me... Unfortunately, paper napkins are still placed at the table instead of cloth napkins. It's a shame, for me a cloth napkin belongs in this category of restaurant. The restaurant is highly recommended, the pizzas are tasty and the homemade pasta too.

Minestrone (essentially it consisted of mushy cauliflower and broccoli) and bruschetta (baked baguette) definitely not recommended, pasta mediocre. Nice lady in service, but at the prices quoted I can expect a clean, intact tablecloth and not one with the stains of the previous guests. Location of the restaurant is nice: in the old town with a view outside

The restaurant itself, the atmosphere and the food were very good except for two points. Don't expect too much from the starters here and take the paper towels with you when you go to wash your hands. Otherwise really good and steaks of all kinds are recommended, although the prices are correspondingly high. You can spend an enjoyable evening here 😉

It's Italian cuisine mixed with German culture, but still a good place to eat

Food was good, but they refused to take a card payment, but didn’t have change for a cash payment. Wouldn’t recommend.

A very nice evening with an excellent meal. Staff very friendly and accommodating. All in all, highly recommended. Always my pleasure

My wife and I recently visited Heidelberg and while strolling through the picturesque town center were fortunate enough to find this culinary gem at about noon. I’m an Italian from the U.S. state with the highest Italian population ratio. I love it o cook for my family. I can tell you this trattoria was a wonderful surprise! The highlight of the delicious meal was the minestrone soup. A medley of perfectly complimentary fresh vegetables in a delectable broth.

The prices are almost twice as high as other trattorias/restaurants. As an example: 0.75l of still mineral water can cost €8.50 here and the cheapest pizza for €14.50 is only topped with mozzarella and five basil leaves. Its dough tastes unusual, like normal white bread. The pizza was crispy, tasted okay, but in my opinion not very authentic or fair to the price. The plate was taken away from my father while he was taking the last bite, but the service was otherwise friendly enough. Overall, I can hardly recommend this trattoria if you want to enjoy real Italian pizza. However, if you prefer the location and want to try other dishes, I advise you to drink the water from the toilet sink, which you can get for an unbeatable €0 with the same taste.

A truly excellent restaurant. The dishes were fantastic and tasted fine. Plus a really good wine and friendly, attentive but not intrusive service with great timing. In short: the whole family was thrilled :-)

Food is average. However, some drink prices are high. We sat at the entrance for 3 people, but it felt cold because it was close to the door. We wanted to move to another table, but the waiter rejected our request, saying that you are 3 people, you cannot move to a table for 4 people. In the final, we had a problem with the change when we gave 100€ to the 79€ account because it did not have any change. 25% tip?!?

The pizza was a bit undercooked and the egg in the carbonara was scrambled. It didn't taste bad, just pretty mediocre. I expected more for 20€ per person.

After we asked to order something to drink, we were turned away with the words “we are a ristorante, bye” Absolute impudence

Nice place centrally in Heidelberg next to the Holy Spirit Church. Romantic location with its own charm. Food was delicious, so the starter was the bruschetta, consisting of two variations and olives. All very tasty. Also a cheese plate; which was unfortunately a little one-sided. I wouldn't order again. Then we had the spaghetti bolognese and tagliatelle with pesto. Both large portions and very tasty. After asking, we also got more parmesan, which was great.

I do not know how they got 5 stars. I ordered the fillet and it had NO TASTE!! NO SEASONING, NO FLAVOR! The 2 tiny potatoes were boiled, the 5 pieces of vegetables were stale! The bolognese was Chef Boyardee - BAD; greasy flat tasteless and the pasta was undercooked. We asked for bread - it was day old hard bread with NO FLAVOR! When that bread came out and it was so bad I said oh no, this is not a good sign! STAY AWAY! I gave service 1 star because they never checked on us, did not ask if everything was ok. No salt or pepper on the table. No smiles.

The staff was attentive and changed the wrong order we gave without any additional charge, which was great. The pizzas were delicious, just like the ones we ate in Italy. We paid less than 50 euros for two pizzas and two drinks.

Completely overpriced, water 8.50 euros When we just wanted something to drink, we were asked to leave

Very good food and very friendly service!!

Nothing objectionable in terms of taste. It is also clear that things cannot be exactly cheap in such a location. However, I think that for what you get overall it could be 10-15% cheaper.

Finalmente un ristorante italiano (e non soltanto pizzeria) come si deve per i nostri standard. Già a partire dall'immagine, con tavole imbandite con le tovaglie in stoffa (rarità da queste parti) e personale gentilissimo. Abbiamo conosciuto anche il simpaticissimo cuoco pugliese. Superata con merito la prova "carbonara", sebbene la ricetta non sia del tutto ortodossa, ma la disponibilità della cucina è stata encomiabile, sapendo che c'erano italiani in sala. Ottimi pure i tortelloni ai funghi con la salvia, la semplice salsetta ai pomodori con cui sono stati conditi i rigatoni di mio figlio e pure la crema al limone come dessert. Prezzi nella media. Cinque stelle meritate.

Het eten was super heerlijk. Erg fijn op het terras gezeten. Maar de bediening was ongeïnteresseerd, onvriendelijk en onbeleefd.

The food was very good but expensive. A glass of wine (25cl) for €10 is far too expensive and I find it almost cheeky. We won't come back.

Typical main street/tourist restaurant - better look for something cozy and better on the side streets if you want to be treated well as a guest :)

Average food, good location. Poor service quality, pretending not speaking well english when you ask for Parmigiano or Chili sauce then speak perfect english to force you to leave a tips.

Best box seat. Honest Italian cuisine. Super friendly staff. Especially Akim

The menu is not very large, the prices are a little higher than normal. Vitello Tonnato and the Italian salad were delicious, but the white bread was unfortunately dry.

I don't know what we could have done wrong that caused the staff to be so unfriendly to us. On top of that, the Neapolitan pizza (which normally contains anchovies in the Italian version) was too salty due to too much melted cheese (while Italian cuisine is simple and refined), the tomato sauce bland and I could have defrosted the dough myself. So much so that I wondered if they had already gone to Italy... and all for prices that were too high compared to the quality offered. The apple juice was good.

Excellent service, very friendly staff and very good food. It didn't seem expensive to me because the portions are abundant and because of its location next to the cathedral. Totally recommended.

We chose the outdoor area of ​​the Trattoria Toscana restaurant just to have a drink in the afternoon, as it is a very nice location in the heart of Heidelberg. When the waiter found out that we just wanted something to drink, we were kindly asked to leave the restaurant - with the quote "We are a restaurant!" - to leave. If you could give 0 stars, I would definitely do that. I've never experienced anything like that.

We ate pasta and were absolutely satisfied. There wasn't much going on at the moment and we were served quickly. Super super tasty and fresh. It was worth it!!

Das Restaurant liegt direkt an der Heiliggeistkirche mit Blick auf das Schloss, also mitten im "Touristenviertel" in Heidelberg. Eine typische italienische Pizzeria: Mein bevorzugtes Lieblingsgericht die "Spaghetti Carbonara" war schnell zubereitet und schmeckte gut . Die Bedienung war freundlich und zuvorkommend, und der Preis war mit insgesamt 20 Euro bei einem Getränk angemessen.

The food (pizza) was average at best, very dry dough and sauce with no taste. The toppings were of poor quality, cheap salami on an “Italian pizza” is absolutely naughty. The service was subpar, no adjustments were possible for a child. After I said we wanted to pay, no one came to the table, even though my wife had been waiting there with our little daughter. It took about 10 minutes from the notification to the payment. It didn't occur to anyone to bring the bill to the table as long as "only" the woman was sitting at the table with her wallet in her hand... on the whole we definitely wouldn't come back, the price-performance ratio is absolutely inadequate.

糟糕的一餐。看了点评来的，结果点了份菜单上没有的意面，结账的时候居然要29.9欧！！！贵又离谱！我们叫了买单，告知我们等一下，结果等了10分钟没有人来，只能再次叫服务员，去吧台结账，还问我们要不要给小费？就这个服务态度还要小费？？？我不理解，现在的小费这么好赚？

Pizza and pasta are delicious. good atmosphere The bathroom is underground. Minus one star because the employee was dissatisfied with the small tip and made a face.

Went there because of the reviews, Bad Service, food average and on top it's expensive. Inside being completely empty, were told needed a reservation. I have started to realise one thing: People who have a view (location), don't care about the food (service) they provide. People who don't have a view (location), need to be extra good at.food (service), they provide in order to make a name for themselves. Cheers

Unfortunately, we cannot understand the good reviews from other guests. The restaurant makes an impression with its white-covered tables and stylishly dressed staff, but that's it. In our opinion, the quality and execution of the dishes bear no relation to the price. Our starter bruschetta was burnt and we were only reluctantly given new bread. Our vegetarian pizza was sparsely topped and the spaghetti carbonara was unfortunately not a great taste. In addition, the staff display what feels like forced friendliness. Conclusion: unfortunately disappointing, next time it would be better to walk a few meters further and enjoy good Italian food

As an actual Italian, I tried the “pizza prosciutto” which was basically a capricciosa without artichokes, and the lasagna. The pizza was equal to a frozen pizza, almost tasteless and even slightly bitter, while the lasagna could be called a soup at this point, two layers of pasta that were even hard to find, a ton of tomato and cheese (not besciamella), so as a food experience, absolutely terrible, so from an Italian’s perspective, I do not want my country to be represented by such a low cuisine that could be beaten by the American chain of dominos pizza. Furthermore, they serve Italian water (acqua panna) for 8,50€, absolutely obscene. the location is perfectly in the center. Such a loss of potential. Last but not least, while paying (asking twice for the bill and waiting almost 20 minutes for that) they asked me to even to tip, which I refused explaining how the food they served should be made, as a suggestion to be genuine Italian, they answer? “We don’t make that here”.

They are delusional to call themselves an italian restaurant. If you know what real Italian food is, you wouldn’t step into this place after having one meal that they prepared. Pizza seems as if it is simply frozen pizza, lasagna.. i dont even want to call it a lasagna! Simply terrible experience! The waiters are extremely rude, i had to ask for bill to multiple waiters until they finally bring it! Shamelessly even by asking tip! Note: portions were so big and water is 8.5 euros. We weren’t that hungry and we didn’t even have an option to get a smaller portion. Waste of money, time and waste of appetite.

Place that will stay in my heart💘! I will definitely come here again!!!

Just for eating, you can't drink coffee. Incredible

I got food poison. I finished to eat at 14:41 July 19, 2024. I started to vomit at 17:35. In between, I ate nothing. Be careful!!! The Rotbarsch did taste stink.

Much more than you can expert in such a tourist area. Thank you for having us later than average german restaurant closing time. What a smile and a service !

Our food was good-a pizza, a pasta dish, and a meat dish. None of it was exceptional but nothing was terrible either. It was a hot day and the restaurant had no fans so we were pretty warm. They don’t make most of the pasta themselves, which was disappointing. Ok experience.

Nice and cozy. You can sit outside. Nice service

Thank you very much for a wonderful evening in your restaurant. The food was perfect - honest Italian cuisine. Delicious! Particularly noteworthy was the waitress Agim: very charming, always trying hard, never too much, but still always present. We eat out a lot. We have rarely experienced such great service. Thank you very much - you are doing a great job and were a very important part of this very successful evening!

Very centrally located, great service, delicious food, would be back again

What grumpy service. The terrace was almost empty, but we were actually not allowed to sit in the shaded places we wanted. By God's grace I was given permission. Not an extensive menu, what you got was fine.

Für fünf Punkte hat nur ein bisschen gefehlt. Wir hatten Bruscette zur Vorspeise und sowohl Pasta, als auch Pizza im Anschluss. Sämtliche Speisen waren sehr lecker und auf den Punkt zubereitet. Die Weine waren lecker, das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis ist gut. Unser Platz war nicht der beste im Lokal, der Kellner teilweise etwas gestresst, aber weit weg von unfreundlich o.ä. Insgesamt ein sehr schöner Abend 👍

Awesome food and great service. The cheese tasted really fresh in tomato mozzarella salad. The pasta was great too.

On our way to our holiday address we decided to book a hotel in Heidelberg. We had dinner on the terrace of Trattoria Toscana in the evening. We chose this restaurant because of the good reviews and they were absolutely fulfilled this evening. We had a delicious meal, the terrace outside was very cozy in the middle of the square near the church, the service was super friendly. Super great, I can't say anything else. Highly recommended to have a bite to eat here. We had a starter, then both ordered a pizza, my husband had a large beer, I had 2x coke zero and we paid E 55.

He warned me and now I know why: Very overpriced for very mediocre food and a not very good atmosphere...

The pizza dough was one of the worst I've eaten. The sauce was also unacceptable. The same goes for the Bolognese sauce, which was very watery. The waitress's friendliness and politeness were the only positive factors. A very bad experience overall.

We don't share the number of stars. We had a mediocre pizza - sparsely topped, medium-sized for 18.50 - and pasta with strips of beef fillet that were very hard and chewy. The service preferred to stand in front of the door in groups of three, chatting and smoking, sometimes four people and the fifth person never looked over. The restaurant wasn't overcrowded outside and only 2 inside. For the price range and this rating, there is still a lot of room for improvement. There are by far cheaper AND better ones whose service is attentive. The best thing was the wine but no one asked for it anyway.

Good choice for Italian cuisine.

Delicious food… nice service… would be happy again

The best Italian restaurant in Germany! Great staff and excellent food

It was nice, thank you! And thanks to the great waiter Caramba! Very attentive!:)

[EN] (German below) The food and ingredients are of medium quality, yet the prices are relatively high in my point of view. Additionally, we were asked by the waitress to leave a 5% tip, and she asserted that this is customary in Germany. It was a point of contention at the end of our meal. It’s the first time in my life and in Germany to be asked 5%. We didn't pay; she failed eventually. I will never ever go to this restaurant again, never.

Very nice staff and delicious food in a very central location in the old town. We sat outside and watched everything going on around us. We had spaghetti Frank Sinatra (with beef fillet and shrimp).

Very good Italian restaurant in the middle of the old town, the food was perfectly prepared, service at the highest level. You can't do better. We'd love to come back.

Very nice Italian restaurant! The staff was very nice, the food was delicious and arrived very quickly. There were plenty of vegetarian options for me, and it is located in a cute street next to the church. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here!

very beautiful, I really liked it

Lovely service. Amazing fish dishes and absolutely delicious wine. Highly recommend 😋

Allergy sufferers beware!! The allergen card is incorrect and when you tell the waiter they don't show any insight but discuss whether it needs labeling or not (as far as I know, cheese falls under dairy products..) The waiter was then extremely rude to us because of course we left the dish back and ordered something else. The location right on the market square is a 10/10 but the food doesn't match the prices either. What I would like to see: correct the allergens, recognize errors and either reduce the prices or improve the dishes

Llegamos pasadas las 22 horas y nos advirtieron que a las 23 horas cerraban. Nos pareció correcta la advertencia. Comimos unas excelente pastas. Todos pedimos distintos platos y cada uno disfrutó a pleno de los mismos. Muy bien lugar.

Old school Italian. Service is also like in the 90s. Some of the dishes were very good, some not so good. Pizza looked good. Great location, highly recommended. If you're not a tourist and want to eat at the old bridge, there are much better Italian restaurants in the city.

Very tasty food, great ambience and the waiters are very attentive. Especially aveni. Thank you 🙏

Impatient and horrible service attitude. We were sitting outside when it was rainy. We asked the service person inside and they said it’s okay. We were waiting for ordering the food. The guy with bad English speaking skill were refusing to come outside to take our orders and blamed us sitting outside. Yet as said his colleague allowed us to sit outside during the rain. We were astonished and furious by his terrible service attitude and manner. If the owner or the manager of this restaurant ever sees this post, please help that guy to improve his terrible service attitude. He might have chased away a lot of potential customers due to his terrible and horrible attitude.

It was a pleasure! The food and the waiter named Aveni is super friendly!

Very nice restaurant right on the market square. Despite being very busy, the 6 of us got a table. The food was super quick, tasty and quite inexpensive for the location. Only the service could have been a little better. The fact that only one EC card is accepted per table when paying separately is anything but modern and could be problematic if you no longer really want to have that much cash with you.

The restaurant is right in the middle of Heidelberg Marktplatz and serves a variety of Italian dishes. Lots of vegetarian options. The pasta and bruschetta were good. The highlight was the Tiramisu and their house red wine.

Very tasty food. We had pizza and pasta. Both were very satisfied. A nice espresso rounded it off. Service friendly and attentive. Prices are typical for HD and the tourist corner. Nevertheless, we as “locals” liked it there. (Unfortunately no pictures)

The food is enough to fill you up, but it's not very good. The location is really great, but the service seems slow and distant

Very fast and friendly service. Delicious pizza and draft beer

We loved the pasta with rocket, very nice service, great pictures on the wall.

Best gnocchi and best service I've had in germany!

We only had something to drink (wine and soft drinks), but it was a great afternoon with the extremely friendly and attentive staff, that's what I call hospitality, thank you very much!

After a very average but expensive pizza and 2 very uncomfortable tables for only 2 people, I have to say that I would definitely not choose the food here. :/

We had dinner here a while ago; Everything was top notch. Since then the service has deteriorated significantly. Even though it wasn't a rush hour, we waited quite a long time to take our order. The staff was friendly but not very attentive. The food came quite quickly. It's expensive, which is understandable given the location, but EUR 11.50 for a small portion of penne with butter for a 2-year-old child is already very overpriced. We haven't had such a bad carpaccio in a long time. - Very small portion with nicely grated Parmesan, which unfortunately had been in the fridge for a long time - no aroma and very hard. It's a shame, especially since we were satisfied on our previous visits.

Fine Italian restaurant in a central location in Heidelberg. The dishes are a bit more expensive but they are all very well crafted and very tasty. My recommendations are in particular the spaghetti carbonara (of course without cream), veal scanneloni and the tiramisu.

Extremely racist and unfriendly staff. We sat in the outside table. The lady did not take our order. The elderly staff told us if we are having only drinks and not eating then we should leave. He was extremely impolite with bad body language.

The order was taken quickly. The drinks didn't come quickly and one drink was forgotten. A meal of 7 arrived about 5 minutes later. Antipasti was rather below average. Pizza was ok. Pasta and lasagne were good. You weren't asked if everything was okay or if you wanted something more to drink. The restaurant has deteriorated greatly in terms of service and quality of food compared to before.

Excellent food, very nice environment, very good and kind waitresses. The prices are very reasonable for what I eat. The pizzas were fantastic, the dough was weak and the tomato sauce quality.

Very nice service, short waiting time. It tasted great

Right on the side wing of the church, where you can have a lovely lunch in the shade. Pasta and vitello tonnato were very tasty. Price-performance was top.

Was a nice place, cozy and attentive staff. My pasta was something missing on it. I ❤️ Italian cuisine, I tasted mostly their pasta and pizza. But in trattoria I missed the touched of?

We went to Trattoria Toscana with a larger group. The service was quite rude and unfriendly. None of us liked the food. The pizza in particular was a disaster. We didn't feel comfortable there and will definitely not be coming back.

Great Italian very very good food with great service. Only recommended.

Very good quality, reasonable prices,

Delicious food (pizza and spaghetti), very nice staff, fast service and nice ambience! Always my pleasure !

The two of us ordered steak and Gorgonzola spaghetti. The steak was very good, well-cooked and tender, but the spaghetti was tasteless. ah! The potatoes that came with the steak were undercooked, which was a bit disappointing. I asked to charge my phone, but they didn't tell me they didn't have a charger. They only brought me bread before the meal after the main meal had been served, but they seemed to have forgotten to dip it in. The price was expensive, the food was average, and the service was not good. Overall, it's not recommended, but it seems to be the only place to eat nearby.

Are not customer focused. Price performance is not right.

Really overpriced for very average food, barely seasoned and not "special" enough for the prices

Everything was perfect. It is recommended and we like to be there when we are in Heidelberg.

Their dishes are amazing, together with the great service and friendly staff.

Unfriendly staff. They folded our pizza and wrapped it in aluminum foil and squashed it together when we wanted to have our leftovers packed up.

Very nice Italian restaurant. Relaxed atmosphere and the food was very tasty. Highly Recommended

Good location. Were there at 6:30 p.m. without registering. The “patron” assigned a table “on demand”. Prosecco and wine with the meal came at the same time. Food was good; Price-performance ratio borderline. You sit well.

Pizza is very delicious (Picture 2) The pasta is good (Picture 1 is the best) Good service

High-priced restaurant with very good service. The food was fresh and tasted good.

Very good Italian food, top service and a nice outdoor area in the heart of Heidelberg's old town. When there is a lot of tourist activity, you are right in the middle of it all instead of just there. You have to like it, we thought it was great.
