Ristorante Piccolo Mondo - Heppenheim

Eating was very good, I ordered the tagliata di rucola and tiramisu and I enjoyed the dishes a lot. only the problem was that there was no English menu. in any case would have got 5 stars, but not an English menu...ruins it:

We liked the service as well as the evening options in this restaurant very. good quality and nice people. famous restaurant in the region.

The abundance of dithyrambic online reviews lead us to expect a fine evening at this reasonably-priced Italian. Unfortunately, this was not to be. The drinks came out a little late, but the real problem was that food service was so slow it was abnormal. I...basically waited close to an hour and a half (after ordering time for one spaghetti dish. This taken into account that we had reserved in advance, we were the first to arrive at the restaurant at the opening time, our dishes were only simple pizza and pasta mains (no oven dishes, risotto... , and the dishes at our table were served with large intervals, so it had nothing to do with waiting to serve it all at once. The restaurant was not near full capacity, either. We had to remind the staff about our order several times, without being offered an apology or a small compensation as is usual in such cases, but when we eventually did get the food I was (sadly far from impressed. Although portion size was fine, the pasta was just a bit too hard (even though I like al dente , the sauce was passable but did not taste great, same for the seafood. I have had considerably better seafood pasta elsewhere (incl. Germany with similar price range , and could not finish my plate despite being quite hungry. I guess the staff were trying their best (waiters were running around actively ? Perhaps something went wrong in the kitchen and this is not usual, but I am sorry to say my experience is the food is nothing to write home about and you will need a Buddha's patience to be able to even get it.

Such a lovely experience again here. The waitress is half Italian and German and I had a nice conversation with her. I had the seafood cocktail with smoked salmon starter gorgeous ! Then the swordfish and pasta and veg (and salad bowl which is...very German and actually not Italian) special was fabulous . It was €20 but worth every penny. The house red wine is only €3.50 a glass and delicious. Staff overall all nice and friendly and the menu offers great choice of not only Italian food. Great location in centre . Best Italian i have eaten at in a long time !

Food was excellent, starter was light goat cheese with honey, main dish was steak exc cut and prepared and served with delicious potato and mediterranean dressed salad.
