We celebrated our wedding in a very small group at Karim's place at Tinaja and love spending time there. He's a fantastic cook and host. My husband never orders anything other than the octopus.
Karim has four or five dishes on the menu. The delicious appetizer platter and the aioli are so good that we usually take some of the sumptuous main course home with us.
Currently, he's closed on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays, so you'll have to reach him on one of the other days from around 11 a.m. and reserve one of the five tables.
I can't quite understand the glowing reviews. The food was good, but not exceptional compared to the descriptions in the menu. e.g. B.: Boccoli tomatoes, chile, vodka (spicy): pureed tomatoes with chili? Sorry, there wasn't anything spicy - the chili was only allowed to watch the cook. The others liked it and it was nicely prepared. But there is still room for improvement for “fine dining”.
The service was good and nice, as was the ambience in the restaurant.
You can use the shared toilet area with the cinema, but honestly, you should avoid going there.
A very informal little restaurant with a lunch menu only. A daily menu changes with unusual dishes at absolutely fair prices, including a mixed salad, for between €7 and €10. Vegetarian dishes are also available. It's advisable to arrive earlier rather than later, as limited menu items are priced very sustainably. When it's out, it's out.
High-quality food, plus a small glass of wine and an espresso afterward, is available for less than €15. The price is absolutely unbeatable, and the quality is simply outstanding. For lunch, you won't find anywhere in Augsburg as good as at Tratto's. The service and chef are absolutely friendly and attentive. The decor is very homey and cozy, creating a great ambiance. Seating is limited, but you can also bring your own containers for a €2 discount. So, it's best to arrive as early as possible.
All in all, a truly unique experience and a true insider tip in Augsburg. I'd love to come back!

Just like last time, everything was excellent! Where else can you get a complete lunch menu with such excellent ingredients for €15? Tratto's is the place!
Uncomplicated, friendly, fast, and customer-oriented service. Even when it was busy, a friendly smile and kind words were offered if there was a slight delay.
The food was excellent, both visually and in terms of taste. The nicest bill we've ever received. We'll gladly return when we're in the area.
The little sheep farm is a real gem, and Julia and Luca are fantastic hosts. We had a truly lovely evening, felt incredibly pampered, and the food was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much, and see you soon!
We chose Tropical Station as our wedding caterer and haven't regretted it for a second.
The whole team truly made this day special. With so much friendliness and love in the food, it was a complete success. We and our guests felt totally at ease. The decorations were beautiful, the food was perfect, and everyone absolutely loved it.
Thank you for this wonderful day! ❤️

We were there as a couple and had a lovely evening. The menu was delicious, and there was a creative amuse-bouche from the kitchen. The wine pairing was very knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the wonderful development of the restaurant's own wines and other Ahr wines. They were also very happy to refill our glasses. 😊 Friendly service. In short: we'll definitely be back.
Of all the high-class Japanese restaurants this one is my favourite. An exquisite culinary experience is a given. The conversations with the chef/team are why I would give them a sixth star. A must!
