Italian Eatery in Oberursel
On this rather hot Friday afternoon (currently 32°C/90F), my husband and I went downtown Oberursel to eat at this tiny eatery La Vita Italiana. Four cloth-covered tables grace the inside and two others on the side of the street. They also sell Italian bread and groceries.
La Vita Italiana, a.k.a. the first paninoteca (snackbar) In Oberursel, serves panini, pizza, pasta, oven dishes, salads, antipasti, desserts, and much more. Everything is made from fresh ingredients only, and therefore only available when ordered beforehand.
The prices are very reasonable and our antipasti was excellent. The little white pitcher held olive oil marinated with basil leaves, garlic, rosemary, and possibly other herbs. My husband and I both took whiffs from this wonderful olive oil to figure out its contents.
We had ordered zucchini, eggplant (the best vegetable to keep cool in hot weather), artichokes, and pepper/onion mix.
Generous portions of antipasti
I want to take my children there next time for some highly cherished pana cotta (cream pudding).
