Trattoria Toscana in Heidelberg

This place was amazing! It’s nice to have a nice option restaurant that is not German. Location is perfect! The food was delicious! Good wine and great service. We never felt rushed. The wait staff was so attentive!

Unfortunately very unfriendly staff, food is thrown at you and it is cleared away while half of the people at the table are still eating. Pizza was okay, but the price was only reasonable given the location.

Loved the food 🫶🏻 We ordered Fettuccine Pesto and Lasagna The taste, service and atmosphere 💯

The staff was very friendly, the food tasted wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant. 👌👌

A piece of Italy in Heidelberg, what a great restaurant! The food is extremely tasty, the atmosphere is very pleasant and cozy and the hospitality is warm and welcoming! I've been here a few times and every time I've left with a smile! The service was very attentive and left nothing to be desired!

I come here regularly and am impressed every time! Super delicious food, friendly service. Absolutely recommended.

The Trattoria Toscana is a real gem in Heidelberg's old town. Everything is just right here: authentic Italian cuisine, fresh ingredients and a touch of Mediterranean flair. The service is warm and attentive - we felt comfortable. The terrace with a view of the old town also creates a great ambience. We'll definitely be back. 5 stars – more than deserved!

Due to the unfriendly service, it only made it to us after a 20 minute wait. We left the restaurant without ordering. I understand that it is a hotspot for tourists, but everything has its limits. I would probably avoid this place.

Last night we had dinner at Trattoria Toscana. We had reserved a table and were greeted at the entrance by an extremely unfriendly gentleman. He showed impossible behavior, especially towards our children. He insisted on serving the starter along with the main course. It was immediately apparent that they wanted to get rid of us in this restaurant as quickly as possible. The quality of the pizzas and pasta dishes was below average, but with appropriate behavior it might have been somehow acceptable. It's a shame when you have to end a great visit to a really beautiful city with such an unpleasant, frustrating experience.

Tagliolini with asparagus only contained finely chopped asparagus and was floating in oil. This does not correspond to the dignity of an Italian restaurant and is not in any price-performance ratio! It is also not run by Italians and is therefore operating under a false flag. Despite other free places, I was relegated to a small niche place.

Food is ok, unfortunately not salty. It tastes like you're making it yourself at home. More of a tourist restaurant. Service is nice

Phenomenal and original dishes, Italy could not be closer

Pizzas that are too expensive, the base is tasteless, and unfortunately the portion of salmon tortellini doesn't fill you up

I am leaving a review in Korean, and from personal experience, when visiting this restaurant, I recommend at least ordering food that does not contain clams. I ordered vongole and bolognese, and also ordered cola and beer. As soon as I ate the vongole pasta, I felt like I was eating a stone, and after eating about 10 clams, half of them were not completely removed. I don't know if they bought frozen clams and froze them as is, frozen them without removing them, or cooked them without removing them, but the sand is still in the clams and there is sand from the clams on the noodles. Therefore, most of the time I pay and leave without eating. After paying, I told the clerk that I wasn't satisfied with the clams, and they offered to make me a new one, but I declined because I didn't want to go through the same experience. It would have been a little better if only Vongole had a partial refund. Bolognese is worth eating.

It's a lot, the only advantage Pasta tastes like ketchup What you see in the picture is Spaghetti Frank Sinatra. The amount of meat is good and the shrimp is okay, but as soon as you put the noodles in your mouth, you smell and taste like ketchup. It's not in the picture, but my younger brother ordered vongole, and every time he took a bite, there was a little bit of sand in it... The taste was clean and good, but if I ate it all, my mouth would be full of sand all day. I went in around 2:30 p.m. very hungry, and to be honest, as soon as I took one bite, I thought I was in the wrong place, but I decided to eat anyway. But after taking a few bites, I realized that this was not the case and I would feel really bad if I ate something like this, so I complained. The removal tasted like ketchup, and my brother said the sand was too chewy, so even though he acknowledged the sand, he refused to admit it, saying there couldn't be ketchup. I want to believe that too. How do Italians use ketchup on pasta in an Italian restaurant? But it tastes like ketchup, what should I do? They acknowledged that I ate the vongole, but they said I ate a lot, so I got half price, and they said they didn't approve of my ketchup pasta, so they charged the full price for two bites. It was a bit difficult to leave because the employees were staring at me ^^; No, shouldn't they be sorry? It's not tasty and tastes like ketchup, but I think I lost money. Are you still chewing on sand? It's not cheap either... To those of you who have read this far, don't go here, go somewhere else~

So we booked a table for our anniversary, we arrive and see they reserved us a table RIGHT next to the bathroom and right next to another table. It was SO weird and I’ve never seen this kind of table design in a not-so-cheap restaurant before. Ofc we complained and said tonight is a big deal for us so give us a better seat (they had plenty of empty tables with no “reserved” sign on them). But the waiter (just so rude) told us it’s not possible. After asking twice we decided to leave. When we were leaving the restaurant the owner came to us apologized and gave us another table. But by that time the night was ruined for me. Very bad service. We just got lucky that the owner was there that night. Yeah try to stay away as the food was also super mediocre.

Food is very good. Quick service. Great location.

The food is OK and the price is justified for the standard dish. Good location and nice restaurant.

Service unfortunately unfriendly and incompetent. Quality of the food is not appropriate for the price. No recommendation.

Spectacular pasta. Highly recommended site. The attentive and correct staff. Very clean toilets. That's how nice it is!

Italian restaurant, the portion is quite large, you can try it

Ready-made dough, not mozzarella but some random yellow cheese... a frozen pizza tastes better and doesn't cost €18 Calling this an Italian restaurant is an insult. And it's also run by Italians...boh...non so cosa dire

Food was great! Place was not very crowded on a Sunday night. All in all a good experience, would recommend!

Das Personal war sehr unfreundlich. Ich habe mit Bar bezahlt und ein Mitarbeiter von dehnen anstatt mir das Restgeld zurück zu geben gibt er mir die roten Münzen als Geld zurück. Das für ihn Müll ist

Perfectly prepared. Great service and very good food.

Die positiven Bewertungen anderer Gäste sind leider nicht nachvollziehbar: Essen absolutes Mittelmaß und ein Glas gewöhnlichen Montepulcianos für 10.- EUR ist schlichtweg Wucher. Bedienung freundlich, Umgebung angenehm und gepflegt.

Pizza was delicious, unfortunately the soft drinks were not carbonated, which doesn't surprise me if they come from a 1 liter bottle. Unfortunately the atmosphere is boring and a bit run down. The staff felt like they were watching you because there was nothing going on.

Sono venuta qui con una amica e apparte che di piatti toscani non ce ne sono , si passa dal vitello tonnato alla carbonara ecc ma purtroppo anche male elaborati. Nei miei rigatoni (pasta precotta) le melanzane erano innacquate e le altre crude inoltre con pessima qualità della salsa. La pasta alla diavola aveva i funghi, ci è stato chiesto dallo chef come fosse andata e lui ha insistito che nella diavola ci sono i funghi. Io lo vedo un ristorante italiano per turisti , se veramente facessimo provare la nostra VERA cucina ad uno straniero apprezzerebbe davvero. Un po’ come dire che la carbonara ha la panna voi ditemi se è una vera carbonara de poi anche mal cucinata questo rende pessima l’esperienza.

Staff very unmotivated. Pizza very salty. Asked for an invoice and didn't get one, you had to take action to remind them. Window seat very narrow and no space to eat comfortably. No parking facility. Price line way too high!

Nous avons dîner le soir du 31 décembre et nous étions très satisfait. L’accueil était très chaleureux. Le service est efficace et les mets sont excellents.

Food very tasty. Price may be a bit high for the small portions but definitely recommended.

The staff was very unfriendly. The pizza was still half raw and so was the meat. We were assured by phone that we would still have a place, but when we were in the restaurant 20 minutes later, we were treated very unfriendly and reluctantly sat down at a table. The restaurant closed at 10:30 p.m. We were there at 8:30 p.m. and were already rushed and we had the feeling that they wanted to get rid of us quickly. When we didn't give a tip we were looked at with derogatory looks. Definitely not recommended!

Unfriendly service! The stay as well as the food were inedible. In the middle of our main course it was suddenly decided to make it earlier today, from 11 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. We had just under half an hour to leave the store. We were told every minute that we should hurry up. Due to the unrest of all the employees, the food came to the table still raw, the steak had almost managed to leave the table again, the pizza only saw the oven from the outside. In all the turmoil and hectic pace, we didn't manage to finish the food or finish the wine, but of course we still had to pay the full price, which was way overpriced! Completely unorganized shop, the restaurant has the level of a snack bar and the prices of a star kitchen. There is a world of difference between dreaming and implementing! Started the new year with construction pains!

I would prefer not to give any stars at all! Everything there is disorganized and rude staff. After a few complications, we sat at the table and waited for the menu. Over time, the neighboring tables also filled up with new people who also got tickets straight away and the order was taken. At some point a water bottle was simply placed on the table even though we still didn't get a card and hadn't ordered anything. All the waiters always looked at us but didn't react to the fact that we wanted a card. After a few times we were discovered and then we were told there would be no more tickets and the waiter ran away straight away. After such chaos and such an action, we just got up and wanted to leave. Then all the waiters came and asked if they had done something wrong. After we had listed everything, there was no apology, NOTHING! Not recommended!!

The food is very delicious and the service also very welcoming and fast, i really recommend it

Very good pasta, we had four different ones, all of them were really tasty and not the run-of-the-mill versions like most Italians. Very good location, good service, slightly overpriced meat dishes.

The location is nice, but the ambience was not harmonious, the tablecloth was dirty and broken and the waitress wasn't very interested in our living conditions. The spaghetti carbonara didn't have much in common with the original and the pizza was soggy. In my opinion the ingredients were not very high quality. When the waiter didn't get a tip from us when we paid, he was unfriendly, didn't thank us, gave us reproachful looks and didn't say goodbye. That wasn't a nice visit to a restaurant. No recommendation.

Good experience. If you like good quality on your plate, visit them.

Very disapointed, bad light, very poor service. Quantity of the portion was quite big, but the quality was not so good. Wine sold as Primitivo was clearly not Primitivo.

Unfortunately the tablecloth was already dirty and was not replaced. The pizza was soggy and had ingredients of poor quality. The carbonara was with cream and bacon and therefore anything but good. After we didn't give a tip, the waitress was annoyed and we were only given dirty looks when we left. Not recommended given the high prices.

Great restaurant good food good service.

Me encantó este lugar! No soy un fan de la comida alemana, así que estaba feliz de encontrar un buen restaurante italiano mientras visitaba el mercado de Navidad. Tuve la lasaña, y posiblemente fue la mejor que he probado mientras viajaba por Alemania. El servicio fue genial, la camarera hablaba inglés e incluso me trajo un menú en inglés. Ella era muy atento.

Very good restaurant. Very tasty food and good service

En nuestro viaje a heidelberg hemos hecho una parada para almorzar en él Trattoria Toscana. Hemos pedido espaguetis a la carbonara , feduccini , una lasaña y de postre un tiramisú y estaba todo muy rico. Los camareros eran rápido. Muy atentos y amables con el servicio.

We have been eating today at this Italian restaurant. All very rich. Central and easy to find. Great deal. Recommended when you are with children!!! The lasagna is very good.

Very good food, pizza was also really good 👍🏻 Attentive waiters and nice atmosphere

Unfriendly waiters, you are only treated with respect if you look like you have a fortune. The food is just terrible. The lasagne was still frozen in the middle. Of the 5 people, 3 complained of nausea and stomach pain afterwards. Definitely not recommended.

The food is very good. We ordered some gnocchi with pumpkin and gorgonzola and a Mediterranean pizza.

Very tasty spaghetti carbonara - creamy and very tasty. Restaurant cozy and staff very nice. Great value for money. We'd love to come back.

Super good Italian restaurant. Highly recommended. Pizza excellent, pasta excellent. Starters very tasteful and authentically Italian. It's just a shame that there are no cloth napkins in such a good restaurant, that would be fair to the ambience and class.

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 :-)

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.

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?!?

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.

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.

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 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

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.

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”.

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 👍

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.

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

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

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.
