La Bruschetta - Stuttgart

I have mixed feelings about La Bruschetta. I had a small buffalo mozzarella and fresh tomato pizza, it was admittedly very good, the owners seems very...

No atmosphere. Pizza was a soggy mess, even saw the chef (who was admittedly very friendly) pressing paper towels into them to soak up excess grease....

I've eaten three times in la bruschetta. the pizzas are excellent: very good quality and a lot of choice, also for vegetarians. the place is quite small, so they make a reservation in advance, just to be safe. the dame is often alone, so the service. can take a lot of time. it's okay if you're with a group of friends and you're not starving, otherwise it can get angry. would go back there!

Barbara makes just about everything herself in the tiny kitchen,..a miracle of space- and time-management. Her husband is often with her in this niche making pizzas. Some of the dishes here are so devilishly good that words can hardly describe them. The pizza with truffles...(black or white, depending on the season) is devastating. I have also tried fish here hake, sole, sea bream and it can be wonderful. The place is so popular, (and has few tables) that Barbara can be busy. On the nights when she's in a great mood, the food is unbeatably good, On the rare nights where she's over-challenged, it is still tasty, but not quite as amazing as the normal inspired level. Always worth the risk, though.

My boyfriend and I went for a nice Wednesday dinner in La Bruschetta...or so we thought. As the main restaurant room was a bit overpupulated (still spots but no space to actually pull your chair and fit) we decided to go to the other room.. a former galery. We sat there for about min without being paid attention to, even after waving and saying excuse me For some inexplicable reason, we still didn't go home, we moved back to the main room. The waiter who greeted us with a grunt made a pissed off face as I was blocking his way to another table and stood passively agressively until I got off. As we didn't get menus or a greet for another min, we were leaving. Exactly at that time the another grunt came from behind our backs and the menus were flopped on the table. We were starving to death and decided to order: carpaccio with black truffles, pizza staggioni and pizza with black truffles. In the meantime, as the kitchen was in another building, every time the waiter brought something, he left the door open when outside was degrees Celsius. Most patrons put back their winter jackets. We got the carpaccio after Our neighbours had to wait for their panacotta way over hour! The waiter never said hello, here you are, you're welcome, he just grunted like a sick pug the whole time. The carpaccio was really flavoursome, ingredients were fresh. Pizza was quite ok, no complaints there. But the service was just inexplicable!
