Cannizzaro & Cuccia in Potsdam

The best Neapolitan pizza, lasagna, and chocolate cake with a melted center! I discovered this place by chance three years ago and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended!

A service experience at its finest: Our order was only taken after being asked for. We got a drink, then the waiter disappeared – we had to fight to order more. Bread arrived after the meal, great timing! And when we paid, we were told that our colleague was on a break – so please wait. Unfortunately, this wasn't a slip-up, but apparently standard fare. If you're looking for patience training and comedy service, this is the place for you.

The restaurant impresses with its Italian flair and authentic cuisine. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. We were pleased with the adjacent playground, although it could use a little spring cleaning. Otherwise, everything was great, we'd happily go back and highly recommend it. Thank you.

Attention, hands off! We were just there and wanted to pay for our meal with a voucher (voucher gold). The waiter refused to accept the voucher. You shouldn't advertise with vouchers or participate in voucher promotions if you don't accept them in the store!

It is our favorite Italian restaurant in Potsdam, we often go there for dinner, the children love the pizza and the pasta dishes are also very good, whether during the week or at the weekend, a table reservation is highly recommended, especially if you want to eat with several people,

The food was great and the waiter was simply brilliant.

A cozy restaurant, but unfortunately, the wait for food is long, making it a bit unsuitable for families with children. There's also outdoor seating, which can be quite noisy due to the busy street during the day, especially during rush hour in warmer months.

Very nice and great food, would love to come again, thank you

The food was very tasty, but the waiter was a bit annoyed. I would still come back.

Pleasant summer atmosphere, delicious food, fair prices, great service

Amazing food. Highly recommended. We've never had such a great antipasti platter 🥰

Best Italian in Potsdam. Without competition.

Nice Italian restaurant just a 5-minute walk from Griebnitzsee S-Bahn station. Cozy interior. Terrace available in summer. Very friendly service. Large pizza, delicious and fresh. Pizzas start at around €13. Meat/fish €22-30. A 0.2-liter glass of wine starts at €7.90.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was very noisy, right on the street, and chairs and tables were constantly being moved. The friendliness of the staff could be improved...

Delicious food, fast service, and a generally nice place. The value for money is right here. I would definitely recommend making a reservation—we were there on a Tuesday, and almost every table was taken.

We were able to order, eat (very tasty!!), drink and pay promptly, even though the restaurant was very busy - highly recommended!

Super delicious food Friendly and competent service, and the ambiance is perfectly prepared for summer. Highly recommended

The restaurant fulfills all your Italian expectations. Super-friendly staff, delicious food, and good wine. It's best to make a reservation, but you can still get a table for two.

A wonderful place to enjoy, highly recommended and worth the trip.

The pizzas and carbonara were delicious. The ambiance was truly wonderful. Unfortunately, the waiters were busy with everything but the service. Taking orders was relatively quick. The food was also delivered quickly, but then it was a hiatus. They repeatedly tried to get attention after the food arrived because they requested spicy oil. Only after about 10 minutes and almost half the pizza, and after I got up from the table, were we noticed. The same thing happened when paying. It's a shame.

We tried it 2 or 3 times, but it was never truly tasty. Average with average service. It's a shame, it's our neighborhood. Update from January 29, 2025, and July 9, 2025: I just received an email from Google for the second time, complaining about the mediocre review and wanting to delete the post. It's sad, sad, that mediocre reviews are already being deleted. Mediocre is and will always be mediocre. ... and I deducted another star today for the service: "That's how they treat customers these days!"

We were here last night with a group of eight people at relatively short notice. The food, especially the pizza, and the service were very good.

The food was fantastic—authentic Italian cuisine. However, the service leaves a lot of room for improvement. The waiter was downright rude.

Highly recommended; probably one of the better Italian restaurants in Potsdam these days. For us, it's the new number one, as the competition has dwindled considerably.

I think it's one of the best Italian restaurants in Potsdam. The ambiance and service are top-notch, and the menu is concise, which is okay. The prices are a bit high, but still bearable...especially the drinks. We really enjoy going there, especially since you can always find a parking space there, which this anti-citizen city administration certainly doesn't like.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and the terrace is nicely covered, so it's not too hot. It's a bit pricey, but the food is 100% delicious. The service was very attentive.

Very tasty pizza. The noise level is very high. The seating is cramped inside, with little privacy.

The restaurant is meticulous down to the last detail. It's not exactly cheap, but it's really good. I liked the Magharita the best, and the vegetable pizza and salami pizza, for example, weren't bad either. The Teramisu was also very good.

A wonderful restaurant with great service and fantastic food. The terrace is especially inviting on warm evenings. Children are also welcome here. It's definitely worth a visit.

Cool place for Italian food, friendly service and a perfect location, always worth a visit. My former bookstore, which in GDR times was located within sight of the Griebnitzsee border station and the former military liaison mission, is transforming into a small and fine Italian temple - by the way, the ice cream parlor across the street is also part of it. The food is great, tastes good, and the owner is a cool Italian. I always come back for food, highly recommended.

Yesterday, we spontaneously went to this restaurant with eight people (we had called in advance). Great service, great food, fresh and delicious—nothing from a can...everyone was on point. The restrooms were clean, and our host even brought out a birthday cake despite the rush of visitors. Definitely recommended. It was a very nice family meal. Thank you.

Friendly service All dishes were delicious

We had a really delicious meal here and received very friendly service. We'd love to come back.

The food is excellent, whether it's pizza, pasta, or fish. In the summer, there's a wonderful terrace, but the interior is also comfortably furnished! The staff is well-coordinated and professional. I come from Freiburg to Potsdam once or twice, and I always stop by this restaurant! Greetings from Freiburg.

Apart from the fact that unfortunately, what you asked for is never actually on the pizza (with special pizzas), the food is extremely good. We ordered a vegetable pizza with zucchini, mushrooms, and arugula. It came with potatoes (!), peppers, and zucchini on top... and that's not the first time. It's tasty with a different topping, but it's still a shame if you order something else. I then pointed out that it wasn't what we wanted, and it was explained that it was passed on to the kitchen as it was. Well, what can I say? Poor communication or organization. There was no offer to replace the pizza, but it would have been appropriate. There's also no vegan "cheese," which we very much regret.

Great food with fresh ingredients, good value for money, and excellent service. Highly recommended.

I have never eaten such a good pizza, not even in Italy did they have such a good pizza. It's a pity that the shop doesn't have 5 stars. As a trainee, I can't go there all the time, but I can recommend it to everyone. 5/5

The best pizza I've ever eaten. A restaurant with a great atmosphere that I can recommend to everyone.

A great restaurant. The waiters are very attentive and the food is excellent, even special requests are accommodated. When the weather is nice, the terrace is a great place to relax. Highly recommended!

An authentic Italian restaurant where art, politics and buisness meet and mingle.

We were completely satisfied; the value for money was excellent, and the service was fantastic. We left your restaurant more than happy. We'll recommend you to others and hope to see you again. ❤️

Great Italian restaurant. Friendly and fast service. The food was delicious and authentic, just like in Italy. We'd love to come back next time we're in Potsdam.

Very good restaurant. Highly recommended.

The restaurant is located an amazing place firstly. You can enjoy at the terrace while you are having your meal. Grilled Fish was so fresh and I loved the sauce and vegetables with the fish. Overall The taste is so good, especially recommended to try tiramisu. The staff is so cheerful, kind and friendly. We had a great time there. Much obliged.

Very tasty...Day 1: Pizza like in Italy, well-topped and with a thin, crisp crust. Day 2: Cabonara just like mom used to make. Made with love. I'd definitely order again.

Delicious and cozy, also suitable for larger groups, tastes almost like in Italy.

Since I was dissatisfied with the meat for the second time in a very short period of time, I have to comment. Yesterday I had a rump steak, which was unfortunately completely riddled with tendons. Almost half of it remained on the plate because it was inedible. I would have liked to have reported this, but I wasn't even asked what was wrong. The plate was cleared away without a word. I'm usually used to being asked if I enjoyed it. The same thing happened 2-3 weeks ago. That day I had an entrecôte and the exact same procedure. It's a shame. We actually eat there quite regularly. We'll see if I even try it again ;(

A very nice Italian restaurant with everything you need. Delicious Italian food, bread and olive oil included...

We were here in a group of 12. Everyone was very satisfied. The service was outstanding: fast, attentive, and charming. Everyone agreed that the pasta surpassed the quality of the pizzas.

Great Italian in Potsdam, not far from S Babelsberg. The food is very tasty, whether pasta, salads or really good pizza. Service is friendly and quick and the ambience fits the bill. What's particularly good is that you can easily and conveniently order a table online. Conclusion: Always happy!

My favorite Italian restaurant in Babelsberg. Good food, good wine, good service. If only everyone worked like that!!!!!

It's delicious, cozy, with nice service and charming atmosphere.

Outstanding Italian. Were there for lunch. Had a salad with beef fillet tips, which turned out to be perfectly juicy, medium-fried small fillets. Very well prepared with thin breadcrumbs and parmesan etc. A very good portion for lunch. Bread and oil were free for everyone. My colleagues were equally enthusiastic about their courts and their challenges. The service was also great and the food was on the table in under 10 minutes. And there were 9 of us. I can absolutely recommend it. Of course it's a bit pricey, but it's absolutely worth it. And Potsdam is a bit more expensive everywhere for eating out.

You can certainly eat and drink well here. On our evening we had more of the impression of mass processing.

Best pizza I've ever eaten, hands down.

They food, service, environment, was great 😊 I’ll recommend 💯% we had lasagna, 😋, it was delicious and worth it.

Potsdam - The German capital for Italian restaurants The Piazza Toscana not far from the Griebnitzsee S-Bahn station takes guests on a short vacation to Bella Italia! No other city in Germany can boast as many Italian restaurants in such a close distance as Potsdam, but anyone who thinks that there is a one-size-fits-all approach everywhere is far from the mark. The Piazza Toscana also impresses with a modern, creative and seasonal menu. The pasta is homemade and outstandingly good! The pizza tastes great too! My only criticism is the tiramisu... what I expect is soft, espresso-flavored ladyfingers in an egg-mascarpone cream that tastes like either Marsala or at least amaretto. The whole thing is dusted with good, strong cocoa powder. Unfortunately, the tiramisu lacks both the espresso and alcohol flavor, which makes it boring. A big highlight were the gnocci with goat's cream cheese filling, black truffle and parmesan sauce. Great!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 A nice evening in a stylish ambience with good food and drink is guaranteed! I only have to deduct a star for the service because I lacked the initiative. You could make more sales if you asked more often at the table whether something was missing or if empty glasses and plates at least caused the waiter to come to the table. I missed that...

I can only agree with the many positive reviews. Very tasty and great service. We'll definitely be back 💛💛💛

For me the best Italian in the greater Potsdam area. The quality of the food, the service, the selection and the flair.. Everything together is like a 2 hour vacation in Italy..

Food great! Neapolitan pizza was A1. Very friendly service and generally a child-friendly restaurant. Had to wait some time until we were served.

Atmospheric place. Very nice and helpful service. Tasty dishes. I recommend it, very much.

Saturday evening, just arrived in Potsdam, hungry and stopped by the Italian restaurant if I was lucky. It's too cold to sit outside and everything inside is very busy. Nevertheless, we were quickly offered a table by the cameraman. One pizza and one spaghetti at its best, with salad and drinks. The food came freshly prepared and was served after just a few minutes. At the end there was a limoncello on the house for a little tip. Grazie mille and compliments to all the squadra.

The food was very tasty, a little more expensive than elsewhere, but if the quality is right you're happy to pay. Any time.

The food was very tasty and the price was completely reasonable. The service was equally attentive and kind. I can only recommend it.

Very tasty food, friendly staff with an Italian vibe, and no problems communicating in English. There's a convenient online reservation option. We arrived with a group of six half an hour earlier than our reservation (on a Sunday evening) and were accommodated without any problems.

Great food, great service no matter how busy it is.

One of the best pizzas I've eaten so far. Plus a great atmosphere. Clear recommendation

€12 per person extra to celebrate a birthday after a €150 bill It took 15 minutes to be able to order 2 coffees even though there were only 2 tables. Service unfriendly and disrespectful. I run a restaurant myself and I've never experienced anything like that...

Delicious stone oven pizza and large selection. Service was great, the staff was very nice and you were served quickly. The ambience makes you dream of Italy.

Very good house. Above all, the staff and atmosphere are very praiseworthy.

Extremely good food, simply super tasty 😋, everything freshly prepared

A piece of Italy on your doorstep – our absolute favorite restaurant! We have been coming here regularly for three to four years and are thrilled every time. The food is simply fantastic - from the excellent pizzas to the gluten-free pasta dishes that are standard here. The changing weekly menu always ensures new moments of enjoyment. Particularly noteworthy is the exceptional service: the waiters are extremely polite, greet their guests personally and always have a few friendly words to say. Wishes are fulfilled promptly and you simply feel completely at home. In summer we like to enjoy the beautiful terrace, and the parking situation is also relaxed - another plus. There is also a great selection of wines and Italian beer. This restaurant offers a real all-round feel-good package. We always enjoy coming back and can only warmly recommend it!

I was positively impressed with the restaurant. We arrived relatively early, before the lunch rush, so the restaurant—which is actually quite large—was relatively empty. That’s probably also why the service was very fast. Exceptionally friendly staff and absolutely delicious food! I’m not really a fan of salmon, but for some reason, I ordered pasta with salmon, and it was incredibly creamy, full of salmon, and absolutely delicious. The pizza was great as well—the dough was perfectly soft and had an excellent taste. The restaurant’s high rating is definitely well deserved. It also has a small parking area.

We visited the pizzeria recently and overall it was a solid visit. The pizza was really good. We also liked the atmosphere. However, there were a few small defects that somewhat spoiled the overall impression. The service could be a little more attentive.

Great local. Everyone nice and friendly. Food also very tasty.

The restaurant is a good Italian restaurant with fair prices. Service is good, some waiters need some time to warm up socially with guests. The food is of good quality, I recommend ordering pizza rather than pasta here. The ambience is creative and pleasant. Good but not excellent. You get what you pay

The food was rated as very good on our three visits. However, the service is not good at all. There is clearly a lack of service staff here to serve the many tables inside and outside. Everything takes an incredibly long time. Until someone brings a menu, takes the order, brings drinks,... We spent about 20 minutes until the first drink and more than an hour until the pizza was in front of us. That doesn't work at all! Last but not least, the ambience should also be mentioned. What struck us negatively was that the emphasis here was obviously on a maximum of tables. Not only does the service suffer, but also the resulting noise and lack of space for neighboring tables. You feel like you're in factory farming. We will probably switch to other restaurants again.

Disappointing Valentine's Day dinner - expected more! We reserved a table for two in Piazza Toscana for Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, the reservation couldn't be found on site, so we had to look for a free place for us. Then the first surprise: Instead of the regular menu, there was only a “special menu” with significantly higher prices. When we asked if we could still order from the normal menu, we said no. Not exactly customer friendly! Nevertheless, we decided on two pizzas - unfortunately they only came to the table lukewarm. After our complaint, they were put back in the oven briefly, but they weren't really hot anymore. The warmth disappeared extremely quickly. A small apology or a gesture from the house (e.g. a digestif) would have been appropriate here - but unfortunately there was no such thing. Service? Rather moderate. No asking if everything is OK, no attentive care. It seemed as if the team was overwhelmed by the number of guests. There was dry bread to get us in the mood - but no side dishes. Olives? Aioli? None! Only when we asked were we told that we could only order extras at an additional cost. Thanks to the table next door we were at least able to help ourselves with olive oil. Conclusion: Absolutely not appropriate for the quality and service offered. Especially on Valentine's Day you expect more. We probably won't come back.

Everything was great, thank you

Unfortunately we were quite disappointed when we were passing through and had a spontaneous meal in this restaurant. The waiters could have been friendlier. The food looked good, was ok... but the price/performance ratio didn't match and is overpriced. We had to wait almost 1 hour for pizza and pasta. The regular customers were served first and received a liqueur at the end...unknown guests were not. Cannot recommend this Italian restaurant 👎.

Very good food, service with attention to detail and a lot of coziness. A special restaurant in every respect.

The best Italian around Potsdam. Definitely when it comes to pizza. Very friendly staff. In summer there is plenty of space on the large terrace.

Had something to eat with colleagues and wasn't disappointed. There was a bit of a wait, but it was also (rightly) full house. The pizza was really to die for. 🤤

Reserved at short notice and still got a spot. The waiters were all very friendly and regularly at the table. There is a standard menu and a specialty menu. E.g. currently asparagus. (The review has only now been uploaded. The asparagus was of course available in June and not now.) Despite the full occupancy, the food was brought relatively quickly and was very tasty. Absolute recommendation.

The chef knows his job - the food was cooked to perfection, the seasoning was just right and every dish tasted fantastic! The prices are absolutely reasonable. The only point of criticism: Our waiter (a bit older) was very curt, only said the bare minimum and didn't change his face. It's a shame, a little friendliness would just round off the overall picture.

Beautiful place with a forest path and the Griebnitzsee invites you to go for a walk!

We tried it 2.3 times, but it was never really tasty. Average with average service. It's a shame, it's our neighborhood, our neighborhood. Update from January 29, 2025: Just got an email from Google complaining about the mediocre review and wanting to delete the post, but Google won't do it. Sad, sad when mediocre reviews are about to be deleted. Mediocre is and remains mediocre. ... and I deducted a star for the service today: "That's how you treat customers these days!"

Thank you very much - a hug! Thank you Calogero for your service

Nice atmosphere, great service. The food was also super good. Keep it up 👏🏼

Makes a good impression, but if you have to stand in the entrance for 30 minutes and are completely ignored even after asking several times, that's very overwhelming

Extraordinary pizzeria with pleasure again

I was very satisfied and would like to come back. Thank you for the great hospitality.

A very good Italian resteraunt! The pizzas are in no way inferior to those from Italy, the service is friendly and very competent. Even when there are very many visitors, waiting times for food are short. Prices are okay and the atmosphere is pleasant. Highly recommended. 👌

No matter whether lunch or evening! Always perfect!

Very pleasant, especially at lunchtime. The pizzas are excellent.

I've been here many times. The staff is always very friendly and attentive and the food tastes very good. A nice atmosphere to feel comfortable.

The New Year's Eve menu was once again an experience and hard to beat. Gladly again next year!

The tables are very close together. The chairs were super uncomfortable and the waiters weren't really that good. I ordered a pizza, everyone sitting at the table thought they had forgotten something in the kitchen. The other pizzas didn't really look any better either. You could see that the cook had just thrown the ingredients out carelessly. My pizza cost just under €16. It looked like €5. All in all, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Very nice restaurant, nice and fast service. Everything fits very well

A cozy place like you would expect from an Italian. Restaurant awaits. Attentive waiters, delicious food. Always my pleasure.
