An Italian restaurant with outside seating for those few warm days in Dortmund, the Vetro Restaurant sits right across the street from the Holiday Inn. The kind of place where you can expect a nice pot of fresh flowers on the table along with our bottles of stille water or your wine bottles without having to get dressed up. The menu is varied with everything from pizza to spaghetti bolognese to steak with baked potatoes. The one deficiency I found in the menu was the lack of English breakfast tea teabags for after dinner hot drinks. Instead they substitute Darljeling tea. But on our second visit which was inside the restaurant on a brisk day, I found the TV set fascinating. Normally I never look at TV screens in restaurants. But this one compelled my attention. Why? Though I don’t speak German the subject of the programming was obvious: They were playing a German TV documentary about Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich and about how you could find archaeological remains of buildings. So the place turned out to be educational too. The worst thing about the place? The parking is too squeezed. You have to back out of the lot onto the street, which isn’t safe.
