description of a restaurant
Context:
"(name of restaurant) è un locale senza molte pretese, stelline e stellette, piatti semplici e qualità altissima degli ingredienti."
This is from a tourist guide and it is the description of one of the restaurants tourists will visit during their stay. Unfortunately I don't have much context.

Without stars, without fame
Maybe something a bit tongue in cheek?
"No pretence, no stars, no fame, just simple, good quality ingredients"
(or "Without pretence, without fame, only simple, good quality..."

As Nancy has suggested, perhaps saying:
"without any GUIDEBOOK stars or fame..."
"No pretence, no stars, no fame, just simple, good quality ingredients"

that's probably not featured on the top guides
Hi Audrey.
It's stating that this restaurant has not stars on restaurant guides (e.g. Michelin) of any sort (be them big or small :).
You could just say:
is a homely place that's probably not featured on the top guides, but where you will be offered simple plates cooked with the very best ingredients
or something along those lines :)
Hope this helps a bit

nothing grand
even though not high class/top of the range according to classification, but still satisfies

with little pretence and no stars n' little red shrimps
As you doubtless know, stars are Michelin Guide ratings: max. 3;
and red shrimps are popular "Gambero Rosso" ratings: max. 5
In my suggestion I tried to keep a definitely flippant, almost defiant, tone of the original

how about "with no food guides' brownie points" ? :)

No stars and no tinsel
If we're talking about "no glamor" then we must stay away from tinseltown (Hollywood).

no fancy awards
Most (all?) English speakers would certainly understand this kind of language, and it puts a negative connotation on awards which makes the restaurant look good and unpretentious as it would like.
Discussion
quello che viene suggerito è che mentre gli altri ristoranti pensano a ottenere riconoscimenti di ogni genere e magari di dubbia validità, con nomi spesso anche un po' ridicoli (stelline, stellette, i gamberi di Michael che in effetti ci stanno bene... e chissà che altro...), questo ristorante non bada a certe sciocchezze ma alla sostanza, alla qualità vera.
