Grottino da Salvatore in Dresden

Exquisite Italian cuisine, for demanding palates, good service, good treatment, friendliness, pleasant and cozy atmosphere, the cappuccino and the tiramisu are the perfect combination. Highly recommended.

Super delicious food, super fresh and delicious. Very friendly hosts… Original Italy Tutto bene… 👍🏻 I am happy to recommend

Courteous service, delicious food and very child-friendly!

Beautifully located and inviting at first glance. The food, on the other hand, is a disaster, the pizza dough is leathery, can hardly be cut through, the fish is completely tasteless, the salads taste especially like they are from the fridge, the wine probably comes from 2.99 bottles in the supermarket, unfortunately extremely disappointing. The restaurant was very busy, either the day was a blip in terms of quality or there are simply not enough really good restaurants in the area

We've eaten here twice now and were very impressed both times! Fabulous food, warm and humorous service and a cozy atmosphere. We are already looking forward to the next visit.

Very cozy atmosphere and nice staff. Food fantastic. Fresh Ojuice if there are seasonal oranges. Delicious fish dishes.

We had been planning to go as a group for a long time and were rather disappointed after our visit. A waiting time of 1.5 hours and in the meantime a drink order was forgotten and only brought the second time we asked. Some guests were brought baskets of bread, but this was not the case for us. There was no explanation or apology for the long wait. Children cried because it took so long. Too bad.

Very tasty food. A little tight inside, perfect outside in summer. Overall, really recommended!

Cozy trattoria, the tagliatelle puttanesca were on point, you were full. The service is attentive and friendly, and the espresso was also good. I would come here again at any time and try the pizzas too :)

Great Italian in Dresden-Plauen. Stopped there quite spontaneously during a visit to Dresden. It was so warm and personal that photos were taken with the owner as we said goodbye.

Great Italian restaurant! The food is good and has a great price, clearly this is not a tourist trap. The restaurant is conveniently located near a train station and it’s very comfortable and welcoming in cold winter nights. The service was good and the wait was short. I’ve been there two times and plan on visiting more in the future. The Carbonara was very tasty and had lots of cheese. My favorite Italian restaurant in the city.

Super delicious food and a nice Italian restaurant.

The most beautiful Ristorante Italiano of all time in original Italian styles.

Great atmosphere, very rustic and traditional. The food has always tasted great so far, you have to pay attention to the menu in front of the restaurant.

The food is always a pleasure! The winter drinks menu and also the house cocktail with bergamot from Calabria are highly recommended. We'd love to come back! grazie fino alla prossima volta

Best “Aglio e Olio” in all of Dresden. As a regular customer, I can only recommend this Italian restaurant. Not only the food, but also the staff and boss were very friendly and accommodating.

⭐ 5 stars “I celebrated my birthday in this Italian restaurant with a dear friend and our children, and I have to say I couldn't ask for anything better! From the beginning we were welcomed with unique friendliness and friendliness, so much so that we felt like part of the family. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive to our needs, especially with the children, who were a little restless. They even made a special pizza for my little Evelyn in the shape of Mickey Mouse, a detail that made the evening unforgettable for her! As for the food, the Mare e Monti pizza with asparagus and salmon was simply exquisite, and the desserts – a tiramisu and a choco soufflé with chocolate ice cream – closed the dinner perfectly. We concluded with an authentic espresso, short and restricted, just as Italian tradition dictates: intense, aromatic and perfect. In addition to the quality of the dishes, carefully prepared and well presented, the atmosphere is truly authentic: a restaurant that conveys true Italian hospitality, with friendly staff always ready to joke and make us feel at ease. The welcome cocktail was also a much appreciated gesture! This restaurant is not just a place to eat, but a place where you feel welcomed and pampered, perfect for those looking for an evening of good food and company. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have an authentic and welcoming Italian experience. Thank you to all the staff for making this birthday special and for a wonderful evening!”

Fine Italian cuisine in a very nice atmosphere with friendly hosts is now traditional in Dresden!

Very tasty and highly recommended!

Best Italian in Dresden. Great kitchen. Great atmosphere. Mucho Amore....Always happy...

I had been planning to eat there for many years and it finally happened. I visited the restaurant one evening with my work colleagues - fortunately we had reserved seats in advance, otherwise we probably wouldn't have gotten a seat. Each of us ordered something different, and after trying the dishes among ourselves, we agreed: the food was fantastic! We will definitely come back. The staff was typically Italian, very attentive and relatively quick. An all around successful experience!

Very nice atmosphere with good food and great service.

Visit to Dresden! Found this pizzeria by chance. After what felt like 100 years, we were finally served a pizza that was absolutely delicious. Here you can tell that real Italians work with passion with fresh ingredients and not sparingly. Italian hospitality at its finest! Thank you, many greetings from Bavaria

So was haben wir kulinarisch noch Nie erlebt. Werbung für Trüffelnudeln. Diese gab's aber nicht. Cappuccino kalt. Kotelett aussen schwarz und innen gefroren. Einzig der Trostschnaps war gut. Kellner gab sich Mühe. Nie wieder.

We ate a super delicious fish platter. Class. For dessert there was cassata, tiramisu and pana cotta. Also very good. We would be happy to come back next time we visit Dresden.

We were completely satisfied, the waiters were very friendly, talked to us about beautiful places in Italy and the food was phenomenal, I recommend the changing daily specials.

Very pleasant outdoor terrace and a harmonious indoor area. The food is always authentically delicious and the waiter is always in a good mood

The restaurant is really recommended when it comes to food. It's a shame that the moods and therefore the quality of the service from the "chief" waiter fluctuate between super nice, attentive, friendly and taciturn, grumpy, bad-tempered. Too bad.

Delicious dishes with a beautiful outdoor terrace, which conjures up a special ambience, especially on sunny days. The Italian flair is completed by the service.

Very friendly service! Large selection and good price/performance ratio! Food was very good and good portions!

Overheard conversation from the waiter. He simply had to work infected with Corona because there was apparently a lack of staff. He wiped the feverish sweat from his forehead and showed it to his colleagues... We weren't asked once during the meal if everything was okay. No cheese was offered. The neighbors at the table (regulars) get fly repellent and we don't. no goodbye. BUT food tastes really good. Nevertheless, we won't be coming back.

Last Friday the whole family went to Il Grottino in Altplauen. There was a birthday to celebrate and this restaurant was the perfect location. The dishes are rustic Italian and, in my opinion, completely different from other restaurants in terms of taste and freshness (especially the fish!!!!). I like to eat sea bream there or various fresh pasta plus buffalo mozzarella. An experience! I was told that some of the ingredients are even imported directly from Italy by the chef. I recommend this restaurant for celebrations as well as for romantic evenings for two and for visits with children! only recommend (especially in summer because of the beautiful large terrace.)

Troppo, troppo costoso, per simili cifre si mangia pesce fresco sulle coste italiani o francesi, capisco le spese e tutto, ma bisogna darsi una regolata nella mia opinione. Non da sconsigliare ma attenzione al portafoglio

The food was very tasty, but the service was a bit too intrusive for my taste. We wanted a mixed starter for 6 people. Every starter that was on the menu was served. Everything tasted good but the price was more than expected.

The food tastes very good there. The waiters are very friendly. The prices correspond to the dishes. The toilets are very clean and tidy.

Super nice service, attentive with the children too, delicious and rich food. Get a spot for Sunday evening without a reservation

The food was absolutely delicious, but unfortunately we had to wait 50 minutes for it, especially since the guests around us came later and were ready before we had our main course (tortellini and pasta). A pity

Great authentic Italian cuisine. A great service. Thank you

The chef greets the guests personally and recommends certain dishes. The food is good, the service is quick and friendly.

Beware of rip-offs! Several dishes and drinks were served that were previously agreed otherwise. Just to make money. Head waiter probably wants to come across as a “real Italian restaurateur”, but is actually very aggressive and unpleasant. We won't be coming back again. Food tasted good.

Great food, exceptionally nice service.

Food was good, but very expensive

Delicious food, nice atmosphere. The older gentleman is sometimes a bit unfriendly. The young ladies, on the other hand, saved the service and were constantly beaming.

The best Italian restaurant in Dresden. 🙂

Presumptuous to provocative! Bad mood and unacceptable service. Also pre-order not honored... Hard to beat what you got with the "old Salvatore" - bad-tempered and grumpy. You don't want it like that! We had made reservations for a group of teenagers weeks in advance and did the final check the day before: In the end, the “kids” were assigned a different, unpleasant place and were also treated with mistrust and a bad mood. Ultimately, we adults (parents) also experienced this when picking up: Bad mood, monosyllabic snippy instructions and questions - Italian mentality that we don't like here (...and don't even sugarcoat ourselves in Italy!) It's a shame, because even the food couldn't make up for the misery - nothing special was noticeable during the meal. All in all, a truly sad visit. The owner's bad mood and snarky manner make the choice easy for us: We won't be able to get there again so quickly...

Delicious as always, great atmosphere. We recommend

The food was very, very tasty. We had ordered Buffalo Mozerella, Vitello Tonnato, Grilled Calamari, Quatro Stagioni, Panna Cota and Tartufo. All the plates were simply delicious! Again and again!

Ambience very appealing. Service is a bit too dominant, he has an Italian temperament that we Germans are not used to. Food top. Apart from the bruchetta, the garlic was missing and that didn't convince me. MAIN COURSES were perfect. Happy to come back to them.

Ate a Hawaiian pizza. Was really tasty. Service very quick and friendly. A little too expensive

As a guest in Dresden for a day, I was there for dinner. The pizza was very good on the edge, but unfortunately very soggy on the inside and topped with far too much cheese. The service was terrible, no 'please', 'thank you', 'did you like it?', 'do you have anything else to ask?', and the money was practically snatched out of your hand.

The food was delicious, but you shouldn't be very hungry

The lobster was amazing, with pasta, just perfect and the dessert, very tasty.

The food was great, the service was very quick and the atmosphere was inviting and cozy. Gladly again :)

But a little(!) disappointing - but okay in the end. One of the restaurants that wasn't bad, but you don't necessarily have to visit again.

Unfreundlich. Arrogant. Keine Entgegennahme der Bestellung der Hauptspeisen. 1h bis zur Vorspeise. Kein schöner freundlicher Empfang. Unbequeme Stühle. Es hat sich seit 20 Jahren nichts verbessert. Solch einen unfreundlichen Kroaten habe ich auf Istrien selbst in Touristenhochburgen nie erlebt.

At the beginning the boss is a bit intimidating towards a new guest. But he does his job with joy, a good eye and a healthy dose of determination. He likes to recommend things and then just bring them without having heard a definitive “yes”, which I found very amusing and appropriate. I had the feeling of being well served and happily fed. Pizza, pasta, mozzarella and dessert were all very good.

The lamb ragout with tagliatelle was quite good, only the carbonara was below the dignity of an Italian. In response to the complaint about "spaghetti with scrambled eggs and roughly chopped ham", in which the boss (?) suddenly understood noticeably little German, this dish was of the same quality on the second attempt. The operating staff, on the other hand, was very nice.

It used to be my favorite Italian restaurant... If the egg in the Cabonara looks more like scrambled eggs and this happens again on the second attempt (after a complaint), I unfortunately have to ask myself whether the chef knows what he is doing. It's a shame, I always liked being here.

Very bad service, friendliness takes getting used to, food mediocre for the high price. For us it was the last visit there.

One of the best Italians in the city, friendly, truly Italian service and ultra delicious food. 😋

Been here for the first time. I'll be back!

Tasty, delicious, competitive prices and great atmosphere from the owner. We had really good time. I recommend

I am very impressed by the ambience and enthusiastic about the food and the people who make us enjoy life there 🤩

Gemütliches, gut geführtes Restaurant. Empfehlenswert!

Sehr nettes Lokal. Gutes Essen, nettes Personal. Hund war willkommen. Danke dafür. Sehr zu empfehlen. Bis zum nächsten Aufenthalt Alles Gute Gruss aus NRW

Sehr leckeres Essen (es lohnt sich nach dem Tagesmenü zu fragen) und sehr freundlicher Service. Die Portionen sind ordentlich und das servierte, selbstgebackene Brot ist köstlich. Meine Begleitung und ich bekamen nach dem Restaurantbesuch noch Mandarinen geschenkt. Empfehlenswert!

Mega leckeres Essen war alles sehr frisch zubereitet. Und sehr kinder freundlich

Freundliches Personal, alles frisch. Immer wieder gerne bei jedem Besuch in Dresden.

Die bestellte Lasagne kam zu schnell auf den Tisch, um frisch zubereitet zu sein. Außen heiß aber in der Mitte noch kalt. Auf meine Reklamation gab der grumpige Chef zu, dass die Lasagne im Pizaofen aufgewärmt wurde. Der Reklamation wurde abgeholfen, indem DIE SELBE Portion Lasagne noch einmal nach erneutem Aufwärmen auf den Tisch kam. (Eindeutig an dem zusammengefallelen und angegarten Blatt Dekokräuter und der schon verzehrten Ecke zu erkennen). Eine Entschuldigung oder anderweitige Wiedergutmachung blieb aus. Auch wurde der volle Preis berechnet. Besonders gut geschmeckt hat es nicht und der Preis war gemessen an der Leistung zu hoch. Als besondere Dreingabe wird man bei der finalen Beschwerde vom Chef noch belogen, der steif und fest behauptet, dass der Ersatz eine frische Portion gewesen sei (was nicht sein kann, siehe oben). Meine Empfehlung: Pfeif auf Italienisches Essen und geh um die Ecke und hol Dir einen Döner im besten Dönershop Dresdens!!! ... typos...

Ein ganz tolles Essen und gute Auswahl.. Leider bekommt man das Essen einfach so hingesetzt...Ohne einen netten Blick

Tolles Restaurant! Fisch und Kalb war sehr lecker!

Wir haben das italienische Restaurant nach unserem Teamausflug besucht. Das Essen war sehr lecker und der Service super. Ich habe seit langer Zeit mal wieder richtig tollen Espresso getrunken und mir gleich ein Päckchen Kaffee mitgenommen. Von mir gibt's dafür eine Empfehlung!

Die Pizzeria eignet sich nicht für Menschen mit Einschränkungen. Außerdem hat die Pizza keine eigenen Parkplätze. Man muss irgendwo in der Umgebung an der Straße parken. Es gibt auch keinen großen öffentlichen Parkplatz. Daher ist das besser mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln anzureisen. Das Essen und die Preise sind durchschnittlich. der Service ist nicht so gut und man sollte auf alle Fälle vor 14:00 Uhr mit dem Essen fertig sein. Ansonsten kommt der Kellner und kassiert, obwohl wir noch nicht fertig ist mit essen.

Aufgrund diverser Empfehlungen - auch über dieses Portal - haben wir gestern das Restaurant in Vorfreude auf ein leckeres Essen und einen gelungenen italienischen Abend aufgesucht. Leider wurden wir schon von einem unfreundlichen Chef (?) empfangen... wir hatten ja nicht reserviert und uns wurde ein Tisch für ca. eine Stunde offeriert. Im Endeffekt waren nach dieser einen Stunde drei bis vier Tische frei. Das zur Reservierungstaktik... Die jungen Kellner waren sehr freundlich und bemüht, aber was aus der Küche kam, war leider nicht lecker. Meine Spaghetti carbonara waren eher Spaghetti mit Rührei. Das Essen meines Partners war geschmacklos, lieblos zusammengestellt und u.E. eines italienisches Kochs unwürdig. Leider ... aber immerhin das Ambiente war schön ...

Ein echter Italiener mit tollem Essen und einer lockeren Stimmung.

Hier hat alles gepasst. Spontan reserviert, zügig bedient worden, Wartezeit war nicht lang, Bedienung frug zwischendurch ob alles passt und Geschmack war suuuper!

Wir waren zum wiederholten Mal enttäuscht. Die gemischte Vorspeise, die wir meistens bestellen, war relativ klein und wenig abwechslungsreich. Sie war definitv überteuert. Die Caprese war in Ordnung, normal mit Kuhmilchmozarella. Bei den Hauptgerichten war nur die Pizza in Ordnung. Die Lasagne war verbrannt und nicht genießbar. Am Tisch nebenan war kurz vorher eine Lasagne zuviel serviert worden. Wer weiss?! Das Vitello Tonnato war nicht mehr in Ordnung. Es schmeckte leicht säuerlich. Das Steak war von schlechter Qualität und schmeckte nach Fisch!!! Auf Dessert haben wir verzichtet. Das werden wir auch bei dem Lokal so halten.

Super Essen zu entsprechenden Preisen. Der Außenposten könnte etwas freundlicher sein😉. Gern wieder👍

Schönes Restaurant. Mann muss zum Abend reservieren wenn man draußen sitzen will, aber sonst kann man auch drinnen sitzen. Preise sind bisschen hoch aber dafür ist das Essen auch gut.

Über Geschmack lässt sich streiten. Durch Empfehlungen von Kollegen und die guten Rezensionen haben wir den kleinen Italiener in Dresden Plauen besucht. Von Außen war er mir schon öfter aufgefallen. Auch von innen konnte das Restaurant optisch überzeugen: Es hat einen romantischen Wintergarten, gemütlich eingerichtet und auch die Terasse ist wunderschön. Vom Personal wurden wir sehr offen und freundlich empfangen. Es gab ein Stühlchen und auch eine gute Kinderkarte. Begeistert war ich, dass es ein paar Windeln gab, die auf der Damentoilette zu finden waren. Leider gab es in den Toiletten keinen Wickelbereich. Auch sonst konnte ich keine Wickelmöglichkeit entdecken. Enttäuscht waren wir leider vom Geschmack der Gerichte. Alles schön angerichtet, jedoch der Pizzaboden versalzen und die Soße wiederum recht lasch. Das Carpaccio am Anfang war leider auch nicht so gut wie erhofft. Alles im allem sehr schön dort, jedoch hat der Geschmack nicht überzeugt.

Tolles Ambiente, sehr schmackhaft. Guter Service. Freundlich. Man sollte aber unbedingt vorher reservieren. Eines der Restaurants, die an einem Montag geöffnet haben.

Lecker, alles frisch, schnelle Bedienung, etwas laute 🎶 Musik aber sehr schönes Ambiente

Sehr gutes Essen, toller Service.

Sehr lecker vielen Dank gerne wieder

Melhor italiano da cidade. Escutem as recomendações do dia do dono. Ele sempre tem boas dicas. Particularmente sou fã do Atum grelhado com legumes frescos. É absolutamente perfeito.

Wir haben gut gegessen und getrunken. Das Personal ist freundlich und den Gästen zugewandt. Neben den Gerichten auf der Karte wurden besondere Spezialitäten und Tagesgerichte zusätzlich angeboten.

Wunderschönes Restaurant mit toller Atmosphäre. Das essen war lecker und wir wurden überaus freundlich bedient. Wir kommen wieder !

Der Chef begrüßt einen persönlich, gibt Tagesempfehlungen und ich habe fantastisch !!!!! paarmal gespeist - so ist 1 ITALIENER 🇮🇹

Wir wurden hier am Gründonnerstag zum Abendessen richtig verwöhnt. Wir hatten eine Zusammenstellung vom frischer Dorade und Rotbarsch mit Grillgemüse und Pasta mit frischen Steinpilzen. Dazu ein erfrischender Roséwein. Es war einfach perfekt und vorzüglich. Alle sind sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Man fühlt sich rundum wohl. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder ...🥰🥰🥰

Spaghetti carbonara war leider gar nix. Wurde nochmal neu gemacht aber die war noch schlimmer. Thema Rührei mit Nudeln. Dafür wurde es aber auch nicht berechnet und es gab einen extra Drink aufs Haus. Der Koch hatte vermutlich einen schlechten Tag

Das essen war sehr lecker ! Der Service sehr zuvorkommend und die Wartezeit war auch völlig ok . Es ist lediglich sehr eng dort,aber noch gemütlich. Preis Leistung ist top! Ich kann diesen Italiener nur empfehlen !

Velmi pěkná a příjemně situována Pizzerie v centru čtvrti Plauen v Drážďanech. Ochotná, sympatická a milá obsluha. Vynikající jídlo a pití, včetně skvělé italské kávy. Po celou dobu na pozadí stylová italská muzika. Doporučuji všem, určitě se vrátíme. 👍

Sehr schönes Restaurant, man hat sich wie in Italien gefühlt.

....super gemütliches Ambiente, sehr nette Bewirtung ,spitzen Essen ...grazie mille👌😊

Klasse Essen, Preise gerechtfertigt , tolles Restaurant. Ein wirkliches Italienisches Restaurant! Temperamentvoll und leidenschaftlich.

Sehr lecker und super Qualität und nette freundliche kundenorientierte Bedienung Super Antipasta tolle Pizza

Waren das erste Mal da,sehr nette kompetente Mitarbeiter,gute Beratung und sehr gutes Essen.Werden es weiter Empfehlen und kommen gerne wieder 👍👍👍

Freundliches Personal! Essen auch lecker 😋

Wir waren schon öfters hier essen und es war immer super lecker,aber diesmal war es eine einzige Enttäuschung .Es gab keine Speisekarte das war die Bedingung selbst, uns wurden Speisen vorgeschrieben, leider gab es auch keine Getränkekarte. Vorspeise war in Ordnung,aber die Hauptspeise eine einzige Enttäuschung. Wir haben Nudeln mit Kalbfleisch bestellt und haben Nudeln mit Artischocken und zwei kleinen Stückchen Fleisch bekommen. Preis Leistungsverhältnis unangemessen. Wir werden uns nach einem neuen Italiener umschauen.
