MONELLA TRATTORIA & PIZZERIA — authentic TASTE OF SICILY IN STAVANGER AND SANDNES
We take pride in bringing the rich flavours of the south to your plate, using traditional recipes passed down through generations, while always making space to create our own recipes.
Monella offers three experiences — a cozy trattoria in Stavanger Øst, a restaurant in Forus and a food truck outside of Maxi Sandnes — All delivering the same exceptional quality, fresh ingredients, and authentic Italian flavors, each with its own distinct menu.
We offer unique dishes you won’t find anywhere else in the region, where value and price are perfectly balanced. Enjoy our Pizza Fritta, Pizzolo, Pizza Portafoglio, and more, all made with the finest ingredients imported directly from Italy.
Pizza Fritta *available at Monella Foodtruck Maxi Sandnes and our restaurant in Forus
After World War II, with most ovens destroyed & traditional pizza hard to make, Italians began frying dough to make it more filling — this was the birth of Pizza Fritta, now the most popular Neapolitan street food.
Pizzolo *available at all locations
Pizzolo began as a ceremonial focaccia offered to the gods by Greeks and Romans. Later, farmers filled it with meats and vegetables, and it became a signature dish of Sortino in Sicily.

WE'RE BEYOND GRATEFUL FOR YOUR LOYALTY & FEEDBACK
"We just tried this place. I have heard about Monella at Klubbgata before but never tried. So we had to try it all. Restaurant is nice and cozy, the staff are extremely friendly, for a good hour we felt ourselves in Italy again. Food are must try. RumBaba is nice, the only downside is that it’s child friendly version. Hope adult one comes soon.
Looking forward to come back. Thank you for the great food and hospitality."
