Ristorante & Trattoria "Al Dente" in Potsdam

Very good food and always friendly and competent staff.

Food not so much. The soup was so-so and the second course was weak. Tasteless. Only the dessert was adequate. However, the service was polite.

Al Dente always tastes exceptionally good. And the service is always super nice, attentive and helpful. We always enjoy being here.

Excellent cuisine, especially the special dishes, very friendly service and a lovely upscale atmosphere. One point deducted because well-known German banks are on the blacklist when paying, so take cash with you if necessary.

Wonderful restaurant, super nice, charming Italian service. Gladly again

Full marks in all areas. Found a parking space right at the entrance without any problems. Very nice service and very tasty food. Very happy again 😍🍕

We ate at Mario's again yesterday. We've been going there with friends and family for years. We appreciate the consistently good quality of the food, the very good service and the family atmosphere. See you at many more wonderful hours. Keep it up..😊

Very unfriendly and abusive staff. I can only advise against visiting with children. Will be eating here for the first and last time.

Very, very nice staff and super delicious food. Thank you. I'll be back. 😚

We went out to dinner today to celebrate my sister's birthday. We ordered 2 aldente pizzas. With Parma ham and Parmesan cheese, that's what the menu says. The pizzas came and no Parma ham or Parmesan cheese on the pizza. I spoke to the waitress and described my discomfort, she initially denied it and then admitted it when I asked. So we ate cheap Black Forest ham and probably Gouda from Aldi. For me this is clear fraud. I won't eat there anymore. Shame on you.!!!!!!!

Great trattoria, especially the truffle pasta made from the Parmesan wheel.

Here you will be greeted very friendly by the staff. The table was very attractively set and the napkins were made of fabric 👍🥰. Recommendations were made for dishes that were not on the menu. Even a calzone that wasn't on the menu was no problem to order. All dishes were visually and tastefully very tasty and served hot. The drinks were as they should be, cold drinks wonderfully cool and my latte coffee hot 🔥. We felt very comfortable all around. Even the managing director came to our table and wished us a pleasant stay and bon appetit. ☺️👍 Here the guest is king and we will be happy to come back.🌹

I can't believe there were four of us there and we were immediately asked whether we wanted an aperitif or a starter It is simply not recommended. The arrogant waiter and the owner are just as arrogant as the employees. We will never go there again

So I was pleasantly surprised. Basically I always find Italian restaurants a bit overrated but this was by far the best. Thanks also to Lavdim for the great service! He and his team have truly earned their “tip”. Everything is clean, tidy and well maintained and the price is completely reasonable. The high-quality lamps on the tables are awesome. The first Italian restaurant I will visit again. The only note: since the tables are quite close, it can probably get a little louder when the restaurant is full, although that's just a guess. Especially since it is also popular with children. Babelsberg stop. What I noticed at home was that our things smelled very strongly of the kitchen. We didn't notice anything in the restaurant itself. Addendum: after a few more visits I have to adjust my assessment.

Das Al dente hat uns mit seinem köstlichen Essen und dem zuvorkommenden Service begeistert. Die Gerichte waren geschmacklich top und wurden sehr schnell serviert. Einzig die Sauberkeit der Toiletten ließ zu wünschen übrig. Das Ambiente war bei vollem Haus etwas lebhaft, störte uns aber nicht. Die Tische sind sehr eng gestellt.

Top service, very good quality food and very friendly service. The toilets could be much cleaner and more inviting, so a star deduction for the ambience.

I'm always happy to be there. The food tastes good and the service is always friendly!

Too bad. Previously a good Italian restaurant that scored with really high quality cuisine. Today a waiter tried to impress him with extremely stupid comments that were certainly funny from his point of view. The food is missing that own/special touch. Pronounced loveless. Leave the “show” and try to impress with quality like before.

I couldn't understand the overwhelmingly positive reviews, maybe we were just unlucky. It was nice, the food was okay, but really nothing more. I've had much better Italian food.

Very nice restaurant with friendly, courteous staff. The pizza was excellent. Very good value for money.

Very nice service, very good food.

I liked everything here. Good food, great service and nice ambience.

For me the best Italian restaurant in the city. Everything top👍

Was recommended to us by the harbor master of the nearby sports boat harbor and the recommendation was very good. Food was really good and quick and nice service.

If you value good to very good Italian food with very friendly service, this is the place for you. Worth every penny.

Truly outstanding on our Potsdam vacation...guest is king!!!

Top kitchen, without flaws. Staff excellent. Price/performance ratio is completely fine. The boss is always there for his guests, and the staff is open to any special requests. Thank you for the very good facilities for my birthday with 16 people. Everything was perfect. Thank you very much.

The best Italian I've ever been to! The service was completely satisfactory and the staff were very friendly and charming. It's always busy, so it's better to make a reservation. The boss greets each guest personally and creates a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Overall, you feel in good hands. The food was excellent and the portion size was perfect. This restaurant is definitely worth 5 stars and we will come back again and again. High praise, definitely regular restaurant potential. Thank you very much dear Al Dente team, you have convinced me!

Attentive and friendly service with good quality and tasty food

Everything great! Great service, delicious food and a lovely atmosphere

Very tasty food, wonderful cuisine. Friendly and courteous service.

We had dinner there on Sunday. It was great!!!! Delicious food, friendly and very nice service and the prices are (still) acceptable. Keep it up, we'll definitely see each other again.

Very great restaurant. Great food, great service, nice atmosphere. Always my pleasure

Our favorite restaurant for years. Good food, always friendly, nice atmosphere

We’ve been here many times, and every single time was amazing! Our highlights food-wise are the truffle pasta prepared in the parmesan wheel and the sea bass baked in salt. The baby calamari shared as a starter are also delicious. The staff are wonderful characters and go out of their way to make every visit wonderful and fun!

I was here today with a friend who also loved it. Not the first and not the last visit. It's always beautiful, tasty and the staff is extremely friendly. See you soon. Ciao. :)

Were there once 2 years ago and we liked it better here. Not a pepper mill, there is some other oil in the olive oil bottle. Vitello Tonnato very special..

Thank you, everything was great, best regards 🎆

The portions, especially noodles, could be a little larger for the price.

Mega location. The Magnificent Seven Sony satisfied. Sambuka goes on the house. Greetings to the Hessians

Very attentive staff, food was very well crafted and tasted excellent... we'll always come back... thank you for a nice lunch

From the service staff, the ambience and the food, everything is top. The quality of the food is great.

Very friendly staff, fine food, service top!

The restaurant is very nicely decorated. What's strange is that one waiter is "followed" at every turn. Maybe it was new?? The “mixed salad with salmon” was an absolute failure. It was a little arugula, 5 halves of tomatoes and salmon. €16.50 is completely exaggerated and completely wrong to say the least. Not recommendable.

Our absolute favorite Italian restaurant in Babelsberg. Very good food and a great selection of daily specials. But what is particularly noteworthy is the warm and family service. The entire team puts in a lot of effort and children are always welcome as little guests!

Very nice Italian restaurant with very nice service. We've been here twice for lunch and the food has always been very good.

Pasta (homemade) with porcini mushrooms, a poem for my taste buds. Really top class! I only had one tiny faux pas with the cocoa I ordered for dessert (tiramisu (very good). The actual cocoa taste was missing. Restaurant otherwise highly recommended.

We felt very comfortable there. The homemade sorbet was really very tasty and can only be recommended. Everything can only be recommended, we enjoyed everything very much.

Super fresh and delicious food! We had pizza and pasta! Everything was very delicious. The desserts were fresh and homemade. We recommend.

For us the visit was a small discovery. The food was very good. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. We will be back!

Really great restaurant with great food, friendly and attentive/courteous service and a really interesting atmosphere! We will come back in any case!

Good food, good service, friendly service

Typically Italian men but of a nice kind. We like to come back again and again.

Fast service, friendly, accommodating and absolutely delicious

The price level is rather high. Food was delicious. There was a lot of staff there, everyone was very friendly and always subtly checked to see if something was needed. Even when it rains you can sit outside - great.

The food was super delicious! I had gnocchi with feta filling in truffle sauce and arugula. The flavors were so incredibly well done, I wanted the plate to never end and I never wanted to be full. My partner's food was also quite tasty. The service was great, quick and attentive, but not really personal. But it was also good to do! We sat inside in the dry, the atmosphere is cozy, even if it can get quite loud. I can definitely recommend the restaurant.

Very good food, super nice staff. We found it very comfortable and ate well. Gladly again 👍🙂

Such a wonderful evening. Great food, fast and super friendly service. Not intrusive but really nice. We didn't make a reservation and were still warmly welcomed and served. Absolutely recommended and totally thrilled. All the waiters were great with our children too. Despite being small and whiny, they were sweet and friendly. I haven't experienced service like this in a long time.

We had a larger family celebration and were well looked after by the super friendly team. If you want to brush up on or get to know a little Italian language skills or love Italian cuisine, you've come to the right place. We would be happy to come back. Grazie Mille! My recommendation: Orata alla griglia - perfect!

Always a pleasure! Very friendly staff and the food is really great.

The food is very good. No question. It has always been like this. However, the service has changed. My telephone reservation was accepted with a growl. I ordered a table for 5 people - outside. “Everyone wants to sit outside - we have to see if there is still room,” the waiter told me, annoyed. I then said, then we'll just go somewhere else if an outside reservation isn't possible. He then rowed back and confirmed the table. When I arrived we weren't complete yet. My grandma's friend missed a bus. A bald gentleman kept arriving, nervous and annoyed, and kept asking if the fifth person would even come. The service used to be great, friendly and competent. This time the service was arrogant, intrusive and very unfriendly on the part of the head waiter with the bald head. We have been here several times. The boss is always very friendly. Unfortunately he wasn't there this time. Overall a disappointment

Great food and very good service, very attentive and friendly staff with esprit. Obviously a well-coordinated, very hard-working team.

Nothing to complain about. What is particularly noteworthy is that despite the large number of visitors, the food came quickly and was excellent. The service was also very friendly. Great recommendation!

Very good tasty food, very fast service and fast service.

The truffle pasta is incredibly tasty, the staff is at the highest level, the service is fast and very high quality. The owner is a special love, a cool man! I recommend!

For me this is the best Italian restaurant in Potsdam. The service is warm and the food is excellent.

It was very nice! We immediately felt welcome by the landlord and his team. The service was on point and the food came at exactly the right time. The food was very good, we went there on the recommendation of friends and our expectations were fully met. Keep it up and thank you for this great culinary evening. See you soon. Kind regards Jana and Nils

It was just perfect. A culinary delight 🤩 My spaghetti Bolognese was simply a dream, the service was excellent and the ambience was wonderful. I can recommend the restaurant 1000000%. We'll be back & for me personally it will be my favorite Italian restaurant in Potsdam. Thank you for this lovely evening with you.

Incredibly delicious and super nice staff. Can only be recommended. Simply eat a 10 out of 10. We have been there several times and have never been disappointed.

Love it here. The food is always good. We also like the very attentive service.

Let yourself be guided by the good reviews and yes, they are absolutely true. The dessert with warm figs and vanilla ice cream is outstanding.

It was a nice idea to have a delicious meal there. Attentive service, tasty food. Advance order required. Next time I would rather choose a weekday than Saturday evening. It was already very crowded. Conversation at the table is only possible to a limited extent.

Simply great here, the food, super tasty, service fantastic. 🤩

It was our first time here and in a larger group. The Italian enjoys a good reputation in the city and rightly so. When you walk through the door you are immediately in Italy. The interior shines in the design of a typical Italian trattoria. This was decorated with attention to detail. The staff is always friendly, considerate and extremely quick. We have rarely been served so quickly. There was also incredible attention. All it took was a small part missing and someone would be there to bring it. The food was simply terrific and incredibly tasty. The compositions were perfectly coordinated every time. There was no shortage of quantity here either. All in all, it was a very successful evening and everyone went home happy for the first time. With a large group full of different characters, this is a mega achievement. Thank you very much, we'll be back.

Great Italian restaurant, even though we were there 20 minutes before our reservation, we received a very friendly welcome and were given a table straight away. The food and ambience were great. We will be back

This is how you imagine an Italian. A not overly large guest room, decorated with pictures, wine bottles and offer boards. Almost all the tables were occupied, a bit cramped, a bit loud, but somehow comfortable. Friendly, approachable and attentive staff who occasionally come around the corner with one or two cheeky sayings, but also refill the wine and present the daily recommendations on a large board. The food is wonderful, additional requests are promptly fulfilled. And all of this within a reasonable price. Everyone in our group was very satisfied. We'd love to come back!

Good food with friendly service. I was there again today and again very satisfied... 👍👍👍

Super delicious food and great service.😊😊😊

Italian ambience with a great lunch menu!

the best cozy restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine and reasonable price

It was a very successful evening, the food was excellent. The boss and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The boss always had a joke on his back. We would definitely like to come back.

Very nice service and good food - we'll come back when we're in the area again!

I have never eaten linguini con scampi so deliciously. The service was great, quick and personal. One star deduction for the ambience, as it was really very crowded (of course, given the delicious food 😁) and therefore loud. I'm already looking forward to my next visit there.

It's always an experience to eat with Mario and his family - that's what an Italian must be like - we're looking forward to the next time

Leckerer, gemütlicher Italiener. Sehr freundlich, insbesondere zu Kindern. Gutes Essen, am Ende gab es noch einen Abschiedsdrink aufs Haus. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Very friendly and attentive staff. The food came quickly and it was really delicious. We recommend. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Sehr schöne Atmosphäre, sehr nette Leute, angemessener Preis. Etwas laut, da sehr gut besucht zwischen Weihnachten und Sylvester.

I had dinner here lastnight with my family and it was superb! Amazing atmosphere and food but the highlight is the service and if I could give 10 stars for that I would. It was my first visit to this restaurant and we will definitely be back!

Der Service und das Essen sind großartig, sehr zu empfehlen

Bester Italiener weit und breit es ist immer sehr lecker und was besonders und man fühlt sich so gut behandelt als wenn man zur Familie gehört, alle sind so freundlich ,daumen hoch!!!!!!!!!

Die Weihnachtsfeier die gefeiert wurde war sehr schön. Das Essen sehr gut

Great food and the staff are always accommodating and friendly. Would highly recommend.

War seit langer Zeit wieder hier. Sehr freundliches Team. Essen war gut. Es fehlte ein wenig der Pfiff. Aber Preis Leistung sehr gut. Kommen wieder!

Leckeres Essen und freundliche Bedienung.

Toller Service, super freundliches Personal. Mega leckeres Essen. Gerne wieder!

Essen war in Ordnung aber keines falls überragend. Service dauerte ewig der Laden war nicht voll. Statt dessert haben wir uns nach 20 Minuten doch für die Rechnung entschieden. Ambiente sieht von außen süß aus. Im Sommer an der Straße sitzen hat ein wenig Stil Im Restaurant gab's im Oktober aber nicht mal Kerzen.

Das Essen war sehr lecker, der Service unbezahlbar und es war mehr als ausreichend

Immer sehr gut gegessen. Aber das Besondere sind die vielen Servicemitarbeiter, die sich freundlich um einen kümmern. Man sitzt denke, warm und gemütlich. Aber so darf das beim Italiener ruhig sein. Sehr viele Stammgäste, so dass eine Reservierung Sinn macht.

Gutes Restaurant mit super Service

Eine wunderbare Atmosphäre, so lecker Pizza , wir waren so froh , dass wir zufällig auf die Restaurante gestoßen sind. Endlich haben wir eine gute Restaurant in Potsdam getroffen 🥳
