Highly recommended, down-to-earth Italian restaurant with a large selection of authentic dishes (e.g. Scaloppine, pizza - also gluten-free, gnocchi and pasta). Quiet ambience and atmosphere - also in the guest garden on the street.

Cute cafe with some indoor or outdoor seating. You have to place your order yourself, which worked without any problems.
The cake was delicious, some are even gluten free.
The coffee was also very tasty, in winter there are special winter drinks.

This restaurant is an absolute institution in Esslingen and the Stuttgart region and has been running successfully for many years!
I've eaten here very often. The good thing is, you can get Indian food here that is NOT spicy. Also vegan and gluten-free.
The owner and the staff are very helpful and friendly, the guest room is beautifully decorated and in an ancient, medieval building right on the market square.
Very atmospheric and cozy.
The price-performance ratio is also good.
What bothers me is:
- The inaccurate menu: No allergens are specified and the difference between crepes and pancakes is completely unclear to the guest when reading, the terms appear to be chosen arbitrarily. In addition, the lentil soup is called “soup of the day”, although it does not change every day, but is always the same soup. 🤔 Then why not just call it “lentil soup”? Then everyone understands what is meant.
- Language barriers: The waitresses often don't understand German, only English, which is very annoying.
- Some of the fabric tablecloths have stains.
- But what bothers me most is that you get the same five bowls of sauces/chutneys with EVERY dish, unknowingly and without asking. Not once per table, but one bowl per dish and per person with four sauces each (around 100 ml per sauce). This is super annoying because, firstly, these sauces take up all the space at the table and secondly, they are far too much (one small plate per four people would be completely sufficient in terms of quantity or even less).
I think this is a total waste of food, as half of these sauces end up unused and have to be thrown away. That has to be a loss for the restaurant, right? 🤔
Also, the menu doesn't say what different sauces they are. It would be better if the guest could choose for themselves whether and which sauces they would like. For example, I don't like two of the four sauces and they are always returned unused, which is not sustainable.
It's been the same four sauces for years, which I also find quite boring.
But the strangest thing is that these sauces or their exact ingredients are not on the menu. This is also a big problem for allergy sufferers.
In any case, it feels like 40% of every dish consists solely of these sauces.
I would like to have just one bowl with a sauce of my choice, that would be enough for me, and I would like more of the main course.

Excellent service, super competent and friendly staff. Everything VERY GOOD. True "homemade" Italian cuisine. Fair prices. The midday menu (Mittagsmenü) changes every week, different choices at a good price with salad included. We greatly appreciate Fabrizio's professionalism and kindness. The pizza chef Pietro is also very good. Highly recommended restaurant. It's a shame that they don't make gluten-free pizza, but they do make gluten-free pasta :) A restaurant you absolutely must try.
