Some of the best Italian food I've ever had. This place is right around the corner from our apartment, yet we just visited recently. I had pasta with fresh asparagus and saffron sauce, and it was unbelievable. The sauce was creamy and savory, and the asparagus was just crunchy enough. (I'm not usually an asparagus fan, but it's so huge here that I thought I'd try it!)It's a little pricey, but the service and the taste make the price worth it. We also had tiramisu for dessert, and delicious red wine.

This restaurant was recommended to us by the brother-in-law of a local hotel-restaurant owner. He knows a lot about restaurants. His recommendation was spot on! We had been at this restaurant a number of times when the previous owners ran it. The new owners have COMPLETELY rebuilt the inside. It is very open but the huge leather chairs which are very comfortable gives a warm atmosphere.The restaurant could be described as an Italian steak house. In comparison with another steakhouse in Herford, (which just recently closed permanently) The steaks are equally as good, if not better, and a salad and side dish come with the steaks. In many steak houses outside of the steak, everything is extra. The bill adds up quickly. The menu isn't extensive, but everything can be recommended because it's all fresh, nothing out of the freezer. The service is excellent and very friendly. The chef comes out of the kitchen at intervals to ask if the meal has met our expectations. We returned the very next week and took out daughter with us. We have definitely found a permanent address for steaks and Italian food in Herford.There is always parking available in front.

Kroatien, BismarckstraÃe 76, Herford
Reviewed By Florian254
This restaurant is located a bit outsied of the city center along the way to the A2 to Hannover. Going up the hill on the right side. Ample of parking opportunities are available and even though the street is busy you do not notice once inside.The decoration is slight so not overdone in any way but still the balkan theme comes through. Croation kitchen is not none for refinement it normally comes in huge portions of meat with huge amounts of sided and this restaurant is no exception. It is tasty and rural but well done food which will make you leave full and satisfied but surely it is far away from any gault millau kitchen. So if you are hungry for exactly this, this is the place to go, the staff is freindly the wine is good, so nothing for a special evening but for some meatlovers just to right place.

We ate at this restaurant during a weeklong stay in Herford, visiting our daughter who lived there at the time. It was a birthday celebration for my wife and we walked to the restaurant, located just off the inner ring road in central Herford. Blessed with a warm, sunny evening, we opted to sit outside; the restaurant was pretty dead on a Wednesday evening and I think there may only have been another three or four tables occupied during the evening. The Alte Schule is quiet pricey compared to most of the other restaurants located in Herford so not sure if that had anything to do with it. We had a glass of Prosecco each while we pondered the menu and then a bottle of Primitivo from Puglia to share, together with bottle water, pricey enough at Euro 6 per bottle though the wine was very reasonable at under Euro 20. For starters I had Crunchy Quail Lasagne with shitake mushrooms and mango chutney while my had Apple onion, veal liver ravioli with sauce and nuts while my wife had Baked Mozzarella in a herb crust with linguine in a ricotta peppercorn sauce. For mains, I had, while my wife had Surf and Turf with Orzo pasta though strangely the steak was braised, which is unusual for a Surf and Turf. My daughter had Bouillabaisse Risotto with Monk Fish. I had the dessert selection and my daughter had the cheese board, both of which were just okay, perhaps a little disappointing. The bill came to Euro 155.50 before the tip. We had a pleasant evening with good service and would most likely return if in Heford again.

Highly recommended for proper pizzas - thin, crispy, wood fired oven. Home made ravioli also a total treat. Wine very good value, look out for the regular specials. Have been three times, and consistently exceeds expectations. Thumbs up!

This restaurant is a fantastic local place. Very nice decorated,with eye for detail, friendly service, also with eye for detail, and great food! The dishes are fresh, local and with friendly prices (Schnitzelspecial: 1000cents is super!!) Certainly a must go (back)!Only negative point we can think of is that they are closed on Wednesday and Thursday, so we could't go again :)

We dine here regularly, a lot of choice on the menu. Portions are huge so you won't be leaving hungry. There is also a lunch time special which are smaller portions and for around 8 euros for a 3 course menu it is worth every cent and more.

We ate at this restaurant on the first night of a weeklong stay in Herford, visiting our daughter who lived there at the time. We walked to the restaurant, located literally just outside the suburbs of Herford, on a balmy summer evening, up the hill with a cornfield on one side and a wheat field on the other. There was a wedding reception taking place but we managed to get a very good outside table overlooking the fields with two hot-air balloons floating about not far off. The staff were friendly and helpful and a couple of them spoke good English. The menus were only available in German, fair enough as Herford is not particularly on the main tourist circuit but it does nonetheless still have a couple of barracks full of British service personnel. Having previously lived in Germany, albeit nearly 30 years ago, I was able to translate most of the menu and the waiter was able to assist with the odd word or two. As is common in Germany, the menu was heavily influenced with Pork dishes but was varied enough. In our party of four, three of us had the Beef Carpaccio for starters, which was sublime, while one had a chicken satay skewer in a coconut broth, which was also very good. For mains, between us we had a fillet steak, pork cordon-bleu, hamburger and fries, and I had Pork Tenderloin, which was very salty. I had forgotten just how generous portions tend to be in Germany and the Steinmeyer lived up to this reputation. Unfortunately, having sat chatting for while after the main courses, when we did eventually ask for the dessert menu, we were told that the kitchen was closed! Just as well I suppose! So, while not blown away by the food, the setting makes for a really nice evening out and with the exception of over-seasoned pork fillet, the food was pretty good and I would most likely return if in Heford again.

Nice here. Big choice of wine (we enjoyed numbers 29 and 36) and good food. The english-speaking waiter was personable and helpful. For the record i had steak and penne with hot peppercorn sauce and the other one had the salmon. Good ambience, try to get a 1st floor table.
