Oh Julia, is a small restaurant chain with locations in Mannheim, Munich and now: Stuttgart. According to the founder, its goal is to provide authentic and fresh Italian food and to spead the Mediterranian lifestyle.

The decor of the restaurant at DOQU is modern and industrial. You have the choice between self service and beeing served (if you want to be served, look for the sign that indicates the area where you want to sit down). When I was there, I chose self service and thus lined up at the bar.

They have a good selection of antipasti (that will even satisfy vegetarians like me :-)) and of course pizza and pasta. But meat and fish lovers will also find a dish to their liking as Oh Julia, also serves burgers, fish, chicken, sausage and more.

Oh, and don’t forget to check out their desserts! I can recommend the lemon tart! 🙂

When you order at the bar, you get a pager. You will have to put the pager on the designated spots on your table so that the waiter can find you and serve you your food.

For drinks, you have to line up at the second bar. That’s a bit confusing at the beginning and actually time consuming but that’s how it is.

I like the open atmosphere at Oh Julia, so it became a place where I go for lunch every now and then. Their prices are standard for locations in the city center I think and the quality of the food is decent. It’s definitely nothing for a fancy night out but a good choice for a casual lunch or dinner.

Don’t be fooled by the short menu. At L.A. Signorina it’s quality and not quantity that matters. They might only offer a small selection of pizzas (and no pasta, by the way!) but the ones they offer are truly extraordinary. Ever tried avocado on a pizza? Or a white topping? Well, I didn’t until I visited L.A. Signorina this week!

So here is what my friends Rachel (from rachelsanghee.com), Meredith (from www.kaffeeundkuchen.co/ and I indulged in:

The FOUNTAIN: crème fraîche, chicory, roquefort cheese, walnuts and peppercress:

The TRAVI: tomato sauce, fior di latte, bresaola, colorful carrots and parsley:

And the PRIVATO D ́AMORE L.: tomato sauce, crawfish, avocado and grapefruit oil:

The menu changes four times a year so you will always find new seasonal toppings. But I’m not sure if I can wait until summer before I come back for more…! So guys, if you’re looking for extremely yummy and somewhat special pizza in Stuttgart, L.A. Signorina is your new favorite restaurant.

It was the first time we went to this restaurant and we chose it mainly, because it appeared in our  voucher booklet “Barometer 2012”

On their website, they state that the trattoria was famous in the 50’s and 60’s and got reopened in 2006. The interior looked quite stylish but as the restaurant had also some tables outside and as it was a mild evening, we decided to sit there instead.

The food was amazing. I chose something from the “Chef’s recommendations”, pasta in parmesan sauce.

But the food my friends got looked equally mouthwatering:

We also had very tasty wine with the food.

It was a very nice evening and I am sure that this was not our last time in the Trattoria Santa Lucia!
