3.5 stars but rounding down since the service was SO slow.
Osteria Tra Noi is a family run trattoria in Stuttgart that serves rustic Italian food. They are located on a quiet corner in Stuttgart, and we actually ended up there by mistake looking for another restaurant. Although we didn't have reservations, they luckily accommodated us and gave us one of the last tables in the second level area. However, once we were sat, no one came to check in on us or take our order for 10-15 minutes! We had to flag them down while they were taking the other tables order, and we decided on:
-Maultaschen w/Cheese Filling (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/osteria-tra-noi-stuttgart?select=rwzk-THvedZEA5S09XeoxQ#D_5-KVZFATFtY59fUeWDPw): This is the German take on ravioli, and I thought it was good, but needed a sauce on top or something else in the middle aside from just cheese (which had the texture of ricotta). I don't think I would order this again.
-Penne Arrabbiata (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/osteria-tra-noi-stuttgart?select=rwzk-THvedZEA5S09XeoxQ#W6UHdTDSDxDq2HZpBGC_tg): Solid dish, but not amazing. I wish it were spicier.
-Steak in Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/osteria-tra-noi-stuttgart?select=rwzk-THvedZEA5S09XeoxQ#URCCS2v0ZTY2lQpE5krDaA): My favorite dish from the restaurant. I didn't think the gorgonzola sauce would work that well with the steak, but it was really tasty. The steak was cooked well, although it could have used a little extra sear. However, I would order this again.
-Veal Scallopini (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/osteria-tra-noi-stuttgart?select=rwzk-THvedZEA5S09XeoxQ#zq8vnHFKcAwEJOnLwuTPpA): Ok, but nothing special. They gave you a ton of veal though.
The best part about dining at Osteria Tra Noi was their homemade bread, which the owner (and server) makes fresh every day. It had a wonderful crust, but the inside was soft and deliciously chewy.
Overall, I liked my dinner here but don't know that I would return. They do not speak much English here, so it can be difficult to communicate at times. Parking also seemed tough since there wasn't much street parking available, and we lucked out since we took a cab. read more
