MONELLA TRATTORIA & PIZZERIA — authentic TASTE OF SICILY IN THE HEART OF STAVANGER
We take pride in bringing the rich flavours of south to your plate, using traditional recipes passed down through generations, while always making space to create our own recipes.
Monella offers two experiences — a cozy trattoria in Stavanger Øst and a food truck in Østervåg — both 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 Portafoglio *available at Monella Øst
Pizza Portafoglio is the oldest example of Neapolitan street pizza — smaller than usual and folded over itself, just like a wallet. Perfect for takeaway and easy to enjoy on the go.
Pizza Fritta *available at Monella Østervåg
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."
