Benvenuto
A piece of Puglia in Herford's Radewig
We are proud to offer you an authentic culinary experience from wonderful Italy. Our team works to give you a journey through Italian cooking that stays in the memory.
The name of our house comes from Puglia: trulli are the small round buildings with conical stone roofs that are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can taste that origin. Our menu puts classics of the south next to dishes that Cosimo Lodedo composes in his own hand.
If it takes a little longer now and then, please bear with us: every dish is freshly prepared according to your order.

What our guests say
“Although we had no reservation and the place was packed, the friendly waiter conjured up a table for us. Wonderful fresh pasta, a huge antipasti platter and the most tender polpo from here to Puglia. Authentic, delicious southern Italian cooking.”
“Really delicious food. Vitello tonnato as a starter, exquisite, and spaghetti with king prawns in saffron chilli sauce for the main course. A poem. The wine was very good too. Everyone at our table was delighted.”
“Extraordinary Italian cuisine, prepared with fresh ingredients and a delicate touch. Anyone looking for original, high-quality cooking is in the right place here.”
“It was our first time at the pizzeria, one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. The service was very friendly too.”
“We picked up food today. Mixed antipasti, spaghetti bolognese and salad with chicken. All unbelievably tasty, prepared with love.”
“Il Trullo sits right in the centre of Herford. With the fine weather we chose a table outside in front of the house. The menu is extensive, and there are weekly specials on top.”

How do I book a table?
By phone only, on +49 5221 17 98 92. We take reservations during opening hours. There is deliberately no online form, because we would rather speak to you.

Every dish on the menu is also available to take away. Give us a call and we will tell you when it is ready.
Do you offer catering?
Yes. We cater celebrations at home or in the office and put together cold and warm buffets. Please call us to discuss it.
Can I sit outside?
In good weather we put tables out in front of the house on Radewiger Straße. Whether the terrace is open on a given evening depends on the weather, so just ask when you book.
I have an allergy or intolerance. What should I do?
Please speak to our service staff directly. Because every dish is freshly prepared to order, we can accommodate a great deal.
Do you have changing specials?
Yes. In addition to the menu we write up special creations of the house on the board at the entrance every day, plus seasonal offers. Current items are listed under News.
