Boccacelli am Winterfeldtplatz in Berlin

Not just the best Italian, but the best restaurant. We've been eating here at least once a week for six years and we're always impressed. Absolutely great. Absolutely recommended. The service also leaves nothing to be desired. 10/10

High quality ingredients, my favorite pizza in Berlin. Is always full.

Excelente food and service! Hahah the video of people making pizza was fun hahah

Best burrata I've ever had. The pasta was amazing. Excellente service.

Underground! I don't know where the good reviews come from, but I definitely can't recommend this restaurant! I was there last week. The pizzas are expensive and of below average quality, employees seem overworked and stressed. There are much better places in Berlin

Not Italian pizza for sure. Huge but not so tasty

We were at Boccacelli for the first time today and it completely exceeded our expectations.. 😀 Great service, very friendly staff and the food was simply delicious.. 😀 A restaurant that is also very family friendly..! There was a young woman sitting next to us with her toddler, the waiter really took great care of her, something like that is rare these days! We can't understand the negative reviews we've read at all! And if you like a lot of pizza, you'll find what you're looking for here, you've never seen such a big pizza in Berlin, it's enough for 2 people.. 😀 The price is quite high at around 20 euros, but the pizza is also huge.. 😀 So, an absolute recommendation! By the way, the restaurant is also very cozy.. 😀

Sehr, sehr lecker, ein echter Geheimtipp. Alle Erwartungen übertroffen. Freundliche Bedienung und gemütliches Ambiente.

Cozy and pizzas that seem a bit expensive at first glance, but when they come to the table they are big enough to feed 3 people only to have 3 pieces left over, 2 of which you could use as a blanket and one as a pillow. The tiramisu is one of the best in Berlin and the service is friendly. A great Italian for occasions

As an Italian, I recommend it. Very good food and welcoming place! Personally I like the pizza a little thicker, but that's personal taste.

The food was simply incredibly delicious. You may initially be shocked when you look at the prices, as a pizza can cost €20, but I have never eaten such a huge pizza in my life that was also so delicious. The pasta dishes also taste incredibly good. Absolute recommendation!

Have eaten here several times. Nice ambience, nice service and very, very tasty food! Whether pasta or pizza... everyone will find something here. The prices are a bit higher, which is to be expected. Anyone who has ever tasted the food knows what they are paying for. I would come back any time I want quality Italian food! ATTENTION... pizzas are very large 😉 Enjoy your meal!

They offer gluten free, they say it takes longer than the rest (40 minutes!!!!!) because they ensure it’s all clean and gluten free, but when you get your GF pasta there is a gluten noodle in the dish. So, they don’t clean that well I guess. I really DONT RECOMMEND this place. The service is unbelievable slow, the waiter forgot to ask us a few times what we want to order as main courses. So really NOT recommended.

A very charming, cozy restaurant with a lively atmosphere. No tacky, cliche "Italian" decor. Very good, friendly service which is a rarity in Berlin. I've tried a few things. Antipasto, salmon, Bolognese and pizza. All were delicious. Portions and the pizzas are huge. Very good prices. I'm not a big fan of authentic Bolognese sauce but the Bolognese here is much more like what we had in Canada. The best I've had in Berlin.

I was here for the first time 3 weeks ago. Went here again today and Giuliano could still remember me and what I ate… amazing. This is what I call customer understanding. The food is exclusive and exactly what I hope for from authentic Italian cuisine. Prices are absolutely reasonable. When I'm back in Berlin, I definitely know where I'll eat.

Very good restaurant. The food is very good and the portions are decent. The prices are higher, but definitely justified for the quality. Friendly staff and good service.

Super nice and attentive staff. Delicious food. Great atmosphere. We'll be back!

Buena comida, buenos vinos, ambiente agradable. El restaurante estaba lleno a mitad de semana con una mezcla de lugareños y turistas, por lo que se recomienda reservar. Las porciones son pizzas enormes y particuladas, así que ve con el estómago vacío o prepárate para llevar comida a casa. Ideal en el verano, cuando se puede disfrutar de mesas exteriores y el resto del entorno de la zona de Winterfeldtplatz. Cerca de la zona de Ku'damm y de fácil acceso. En general un buen italiano.

One of the best Dolce Vita pizza what I eat in my whole life. The diameter of my pizza probably 45 cm. The restaurant atmosphere is really cool.

We like to go out for a good, authentic Italian meal often. Despite the generally good reviews here, we unfortunately cannot agree with them at all. The fact that there is no card payment there is not a reason for a negative review, but can still be mentioned as a tip for other guests. The price level is on the higher side. Bottle of sparkling water €6.90. A fairly large antipasti starter platter for €18, which was designed for one person, was not manageable even for two if you wanted to eat a main course afterwards. But that was the only thing that was positive. Loveless and without herbs, garlic and just the typical presentation that you know from good Italians, it was topped with blanched broccoli, green beans, a few fried unseasoned vegetables, a little but good Parma ham, four small slices of cheese... and… sliced ​​bratwurst(!) and it wasn't Italian Salcicca, but a plain bratwurst and worse, champions from a jar/can! Pasta made from a parmesan wheel with creamy truffle sauce and “planed” truffles for €28 followed. The pasta was prepared in the dining room in an elaborate and guest-friendly manner. Unfortunately, there was far too little fresh truffle spread over the pasta, and it was grated and not shaved. It is common practice and makes sense to plan truffles and not rub them in order to have a more intense mouthfeel and to taste the quality of the mushroom. You can't cheat with the small amount as in our case. Subjectively, the heavy cream sauce with truffle oil was far too strong. The second dish we ate was a very large and visually good pizza with Parma ham and tomatoes. Unfortunately, here too there was more quantity than quality. The dough - difficult to describe - was rather hard and heavy and had neither the smell nor the taste of fresh yeast and the cheese was by no means even cow mozzarella. The service was generally friendly, but always so short that we were never asked whether we were or were happy with everything. We weren't even asked about the bill. Even so, we felt served politely, but not welcomed, as one would expect from a real Italian restaurant. This was also reflected when, with a bill for two people of just under €75, we weren't even offered a digestif... but the table next to us was, two ladies who were eating a pizza together... but perhaps more exciting for the waiter were. We took the rest of the pizza with us, not because it was that good, but it was expensive enough to waste food. It was simply folded up carelessly... Anyone who has taken the time to read all of this below will hopefully understand that the author has no interest in critically tearing the store apart on the Internet, rather than leaving an impression for the owner and other guests as objectively as possible. -UPDATE: about 3 months after this review, I was asked via Google to provide proof of the restaurant visit because the owner doubted the review and wanted to have it deleted. Since there is no card payment, I had to present the receipt three months later. I still had this, then the procedure was immediately stopped and the review remained online. If you didn't have a perfect impression of this location: keep the receipt.

We were very satisfied, thank you very much.

Fantastic service from Jimmy and delicious food! Can’t wait to come back

Very high quality food: be it oversized pizza parma, calamaretti or pasta. Definitely recommended Special remarks: - Great service from Jimmy - call in advance to reserve

Good service, Jimmy is the best

Super huge delicious super thin crusted pizza .. best to make reaervation, nice friendly staff..

Nice ambiance but pizza and pasta both were average and given their quality quite expensive! Not recommended!

We were warmly welcomed and the atmosphere made a welcoming impression on us. We ordered 2 drinks without specifying the size and received both in the large 0.4l version. We know this differently from other restaurants - without specifying the size, we would otherwise receive the smallest version., 0.2 e.g. B., which would also exist here. We also ordered Padella Toscana and Linguini Vegi - neither of which suited our taste. To us, the linguini just tasted like pasta that had been briefly tossed in a lot of water with a lot of tasteless oil and a slight spiciness. We didn't see any roasted pine nuts. We found the Padella Toscana to be more appealing in terms of taste, but it was far too fatty for us. We only ate about a third of each dish and then asked for the bill An employee asked us if there was something wrong with the food. We briefly explained the above to him. Points. He took the plates without a word and left. Then another member of staff came and asked if we wanted any more drinks or a bedside table, which we declined. According to Google, 5 stars means “Exceptionally good”. For us it's only 3 stars, which corresponds to "pretty okay".

Review for Ristorante Boccacelli, Berlin We visited Ristorante Boccacelli as a group of six and had a mixed experience. Although the food was delicious and we enjoyed the quality of the dishes, the service left much to be desired. Our table, located next to the kitchen, was uncomfortably hot and crowded. When we politely asked to change it, the waiter refused. Throughout the evening, the waiter seemed impatient and even rude at times, which made us feel unwelcome. When we requested to pack our leftover pizza, the waiter simply dropped the box on the table, unlike our previous visit, where another waiter kindly packed the food for us. On that earlier occasion, we also received complimentary shots at the end of the meal, but this time, the waiter seemed uninterested in offering any hospitality. While the food was excellent, the poor service detracted from the overall experience. I hope the management addresses this, as great food deserves equally great service.

Truly delicious food. Cute restaurant and the staff were helpful and great. A true gem

Were there for the first time today. Very nice, friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere and music. We ate very tasty 🤗👌😋

Pizzas are huge, my pasta dish is delicious!

Very good italian food, friendly and nice service, cozy place:)

I definitely recommend this restaurant! Service at the highest level - the waiter is extremely polite, professional and pays attention to every detail. I felt really special. Additionally, the paste was delicious, perfectly prepared and full of flavor. I will definitely come back! The best restaurant in Berlin

We were traveling as a small group and wanted to grab something to eat before going to a concert. We liked the first impression from the outside and were lucky to get a place straight away. It has to be said that we had two wheelchair users with us. The food was really great (pasta as well as the pizzas) and the service was also great and very warm. We were completely satisfied.

One of the best Italians in Berlin!! The pizza was gigantic and delicious And everything else is just good too!

Lively Italian, no pizza this time, tagliattelle with goose and red cabbage. Daring, but a good combination in December, which I really enjoyed. Our waiter was very attentive.

It took a while until we got food, but then it was excellent and filling! The service was also friendly and hearty.

Damn good pizza and everything else looks really good at the next table too.

Delicious 🤤 Make a reservation if you’re dining in the evening🍴

Super delicious food, huge portions, a must on your next visit to Berlin.

Sooooo delicious food, that's what I call pure Italy

The best Italian in Berlin. I went because of the very good reviews and it was more than worth it. The pizza was very large, thin base and more than plenty of toppings. Price/performance ratio is simply TOP. Very nice and courteous staff. At the end there was a guzi on the house :-). Definitely coming back.

i think i found my favorite Italian place in Berlin. Delicious!

We have visited there for a couple of times every 6 years. It's a wonderful place. Very good food and such lovely people, who work there.

The best Vitello Tonnato in Berlin! Great cuisine, huge pizzas, thumbs up!

Warm atmosphere, huge pizza... We ate bean soup... tasty but overpriced for the small portion!

This notice has already been published but denounced by the owners. Too embarrassing? Do the facts seem to bother them? I suggest they spend time trying to improve the service provided to customers rather than spending time trying to erase negative reviews. My opinion is intended to be constructive. Reminder: Arriving at 2:30 p.m., the restaurant is particularly quiet, very few tables are occupied. There are 4 of us and invited to sit at a small table by the waiter. We asked, on two occasions, to be seated on a larger table. This request is refused twice by this same server. An hour later, the restaurant is still quiet. No customers came to occupy the large available tables. Why refuse such a request? Especially since the plates are huge. They don't fit on the table. In the photo, there are 4 of us. Only 3 plates fit on the table. How does the 4th eat? The request was reiterated. It is regrettable that this server does not listen to its customers We won't come back

A while ago i was eating at this place and shared my experience through a review. However, shortly after that, one of the employees approached me on instagram texting me i should re-think my opinion and delete my low grade since it’s affecting many employees/families working at this restaurant (I have a screenshot of that). To make the whole situation even more absurd, my very clear and constructive review was judged by google and has been deleted. Apparently, there are comments that report the same pattern: low graded reviews are being reported and deleted. This cannot be accepted! Customers have the right to share their experiences and opinions. Today, I even went back to the restaurant to explain in person my overall grade (1 star).

Small Italian restaurant that immediately transports you to the south with its flair.

Pizza was burned. Service was slow even when the restaurant wasn't half full. Would recommend to skip it.

Very nice Italian restaurant. Service was very attentive, the food came quickly and was very tasty. We were a big company and nobody had anything to complain about. The pizza was incredibly big.

The food was good and delicious. The size of the pizza was insane though so We were not able to finish it. The service and atmosphere were absolutely good.

Superfreundliches Personal, dass auch Wartezeiten elegant und freundlich überbrückt. Danke für das Getränk. Die Antipasti Platte war superklasse und selbst für zwei nicht zu schaffen. Die Spaghetti waren ein Traum. Danke dafür

Yesterday I was in this restaurant for the first and definitely last time. We had reserved a table and were initially able to eat normally. But when we wanted to order something again, we were told that no further order could be placed because the next customer was waiting. We were supposed to pay and leave - absolutely unprofessional!!!!!!We were not told either when we made the reservation or when we arrived that we could only use the table for 1.5 hours. The evening was completely ruined. You don't treat your guests like that! This is how you lose potential regular guests!

A fantastic restaurant. The pizza is huge and hard to eat. Absolutely delicious and fresh. Tiramisu fantastic. Open kitchen with real fire and noticeable passion. Best of all is the friendly service. All in all really perfect.

Date: November 7, 2024 My visit to the Boccacelli restaurant on Winterfeldtplatz in Berlin was an exceptionally positive experience. The service was by far one of the friendliest I have ever experienced. The staff welcomed us with such a warm and courteous manner that we immediately felt like long-time friends. The food was a true masterpiece - delicious, perfectly prepared and tasted excellent. Each composition was prepared with great care and reflected attention to detail. It was a pleasure for all the senses. What was particularly impressive was how the team made the atmosphere of the restaurant a welcoming and unforgettable experience. I can fully recommend Boccacelli – for anyone who appreciates exceptional cuisine and excellent service.

Extremely nice, super tasty, large portions!

Pizza and pasta very tasty, really Italian. Service is very friendly, highly recommended

The food is great. Staff very friendly but you have to wait for drinks to be replenished. If the room is full, it is very loud and normal conversation is not possible. The pizzas are huge.

Incredibly friendly service and high quality food. We were pampered by very competent staff throughout the evening. I had squid that was super tender and the side dishes around it...an absolute taste explosion! As an Italian, I had absolutely nothing to complain about and will definitely come back on my next visit to Berlin! Absolutely clear recommendation!

Our favorite Italian restaurant for years when we are in Berlin. The pizzas are huge, delicious, the service is what you would expect from an Italian restaurant and the atmosphere is very cozy. We always feel very comfortable there and can't find anything bad. Top!

I always come here to taste real Italian food. Wine and dessert menu also great and authentic. For me the best Italians in Berlin

We picked up a pizza. ZZ Pizza promotions (fall 24) Price/performance is completely okay. Big and tasty. Friendly permanent staff..

The portions are huge and of the best quality. The €2 more that a dish costs here than in other shops goes 100% on the plate. Unfortunately I can't say anything about the dessert because there was simply no room left in my stomach :-) Update: unfortunately no longer an insider tip and a bit noisy because it's full

A fantastic local Italian restaurant. We went there this evening and there’s an instantly welcoming, friendly atmosphere, great food and great value. The pizzas are amazing! Will definitely be going back on my next visit to Berlin

Jimmy provided great service. Pizza massive. Food exceptional

Excellent food, massive portions and great service from our waiter jimmy

Great service and delicious food. Everything freshly prepared.

Food and service were great, pizza was so big that it would have been good for two.

Simply delicious and great service.

I loved it! We went to eat pizzas and pasta and everything was delicious! A very Italian atmosphere! The dishes are large and lots of them, the pizzas are big! I had a situation with the restaurant, because, without realizing it, I left my wallet in the restaurant and someone found it and gave it to the waiters, the next day they had kept it for me, the bad thing was that they took my money, at least There was my ID.

Die Pizzen sind riesig und auch sehr lecker, aber 10 Euro für ein Glas Rotwein? Nein danke!! Ein Glas Leitungswasser wurde auch verwehrt mit dem Hinweis, dies würde der Chef nicht genehmigen. Na dann, alles Gute - aber ohne uns.

Super delicious food. The pizza is the size of a wagon wheel. The service was impeccable and there was also the obligatory “schnapps” on the house. Only the air and temperature inside were stuffy and infinitely warm. But it didn't dampen the mood. Overall, definitely a recommendation.

Really delicious pizza. I like the burrata best. They are so huge that one is enough for two moderately hungry people.

The waiter was very unpleasant and rude. We complained about the cramped table, at which 4 people could not enjoy their lunch. The restaurant was almost empty and we were told that we could not sit at a larger table due to the arrival of a "large" group of people who in the end never came. No one cares about our comfort or satisfaction, because during lunch and after we made requests and criticisms several times. We are very suspicious of the bill because it did not include all the meals. When we asked for an invoice to be issued, we were told to leave an e-mail and that they send it to us electronically?!?! I do not recommend this restaurant.

Place was very cosy. Waiter was very kind and knowledgeable. Portions was very big for a person. I needed to change my order for lack of material so i need to take one star from my evaluation :(

Arriving at 2:30 p.m., the restaurant is particularly quiet, very few tables are occupied. There are 4 of us and invited to sit at a small table by the waiter. We asked, on two occasions, to be seated on a larger table. This request is refused twice by this same server. An hour later, the restaurant is still quiet. No customers came to occupy the large available tables. Why refuse such a request? Especially since the plates are huge. They don't fit on the table. In the photo, there are 4 of us. Only 3 plates fit on the table. How does the 4th eat? The request was reiterated. It is regrettable that this server does not listen to its customers Finally, when it comes time to pay the bill, we decide to split the bill and pay separately. When we ask for the final bill for the meal for 4 people, the bill only mentions 2 meals. A story of government taxes? We won't come back

Cozy Italian restaurant with delicious dishes and good service. There is also a large selection of vegetarian pasta or pizzas.

Delicious Italian dishes, eating out as it should be.

Very nice restaurant with great Italian flair. Lovingly furnished and very friendly staff. We went there based on a tip and were thrilled. The pizza is delicious, but gigantic in size. Crispy thin base and delicious toppings. Highly recommended 👍👍👍

The Boccacelli restaurant on Winterfeldtplatz really surprised me and gave me a touch of Italy in the middle of Berlin. The charming location right on the side of the road definitely adds to the cozy atmosphere - you almost feel like you're in a small square in Italy. The beginning was promising: the waiter was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the entire experience pleasant from the start. Our aperitif, an Aperol Spritz, was wonderfully refreshing and perfectly prepared. There were also olives that tasted as if they had been freshly picked straight from grandma's olive garden - a small but nice touch that got us in the mood for the meal to come. Then came the main course: We decided on pizzas, including a Quattro Formaggi. What was particularly pleasing was that we were allowed to make an extra request, even though the waiter said this wasn't normally possible. The result was half a bruschetta pizza and the other half with pepperoni - a very individual and delicious creation. The pizzas came surprisingly quickly and were huge! The Quattro Formaggi was generously covered in cheese, which I particularly liked. The second pizza offered a successful balance between lots of vegetables and the hearty bruschetta half - a great mix of healthy and tasty. All in all it was a really successful experience. We went home with full and satisfied stomachs and I can only warmly recommend the Boccacelli restaurant. The combination of friendly service, authentic food and the cozy atmosphere makes it a real insider tip for anyone who wants to experience Italian flair in Berlin.

One of the best Italian dishes I've had in Berlin

Very good food and reasonable prices.

Bad reviews aren't even published? I've tried it several times, now again... Pizza is so hard that you can hardly cut it and chew it. Baked far too long and the quality is like a frozen pizza, only much more expensive. Can't understand all the positive reviews.

Great pasta, cozy Italian atmosphere, and friendly service. A perfect spot for a tasty, relaxed meal!

Huge and super delicious pizza!

We wanted a pizza, half salami and half Margherita, according to the waiter this was not possible. This always worked at the other 1687 Italian restaurants I've been to. Missed the cooking point for the meat dish. Unfriendly staff.

Never had such a delicious carbonara before

Quality from start to finish. Friendly service, perfect spaghetti.

A Schöneberg classic and always good. The food tastes great and the portions are spectacular. The service is very friendly and attentive. In summer we sit on the large outdoor terrace. We'd love to come back.

The food was very good! The prices are fair. There is a wide selection of dishes and drinks. The team is friendly. So everything is fine!

Please do not have lunch if you're going here for dinner, the pizza is huge 🤤 And so is pretty much everything else. The people working there are extremely nice, food is great and the atmosphere is very chill.

The pizza is extremely tasty, very large and really recommended. The service is substandard, unfriendly and not recommended.

I recently dined at a fantastic Italian restaurant, and it was an experience that truly transported me to Italy! I started with the beef carpaccio, which was perfectly thin, tender, and bursting with flavor. It was a great start, setting the tone for what was to come. For my main course, I had the spaghetti Bolognese, and it was nothing short of amazing. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the rich, meaty sauce tasted like it had been simmering for hours, just like a traditional Italian nonna would make. Every bite was pure comfort. A special shoutout to Jimmy, my waiter, who was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He guided me through the menu with such enthusiasm, making spot-on recommendations that made my meal even better. If you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience, this place is a must-visit!

Great restaurant, service is also extremely friendly and the portions are huge!

Fabulous pizzas, good, friendly service. We'd love to come back.

Good service and great food, huge pizzas and really nice staff☀️

Very special thanks to Giuliano!! Best waiter ever! Mille grazie!

A joke of a place which is not competent enough to take orders. Useless Staffa and management.

Well, that was probably nothing. Service was inattentive, and the base of the pizza was more from the “cardboard box” department. The coating is rather insignificant, but thick. Oh well. Which normal adult would eat such a pizza alone is beyond my imagination. Espresso quite OK.
