Highly recommend this restaurant! Honestly speaking, I’ve never tasted pizza as amazing as this! Please have your pizza with chilly oil and roll it up, you will definitely be shocked! What are you waiting for, go and grab a bite😎

2025.04.24 - Update It was another birthday and I was invited to del Corso again. This time the pizza 🍕 was really okay. Nothing special, but at least not as cruel as the previous visit in 2022. The service also made a real effort and was friendly. The ambience and I will no longer enjoy it. Placed on the wall and incredibly loud. Small table for four people. It all works out nicely too. 2022-05-15 OMG, rarely have I had such a bad meal. The pizza maker must have thrown the frozen Gemberetti onto the pizza, so a disgusting liquid ran from the product (see photo). More than half of them remained lying there without any reaction from the operator. Dyslexics of taste are probably more likely to be regular guests of this mass processing. I can't imagine all the good reviews otherwise. It certainly can't be the simple grappa at the end. One point more than actually deserved for the acceptable open wine. Otherwise loud, simple and not really comfortable. I was there twice today, the first and the last time.

We spent a wonderful evening at Trattoria del Corso! The ambience is wonderful and invites you to feel good. The team is super friendly and attentive, which made the visit even more pleasant. The pizza in particular was just like in Italy – incredibly tasty! A special highlight was the birthday serenade that was sung to me. Thank you for the lovely birthday surprise! We will definitely come back and can only warmly recommend the trattoria.

Best pizza - Roman style - flat, crispy base, no thick yeast dough like the Neapolitan version. My favorite so far is the 'Trevigiana' - very family-friendly restaurant ❤️ only due to the high number of people our wine arrived a little late - but one star deducted for service. Otherwise great, would go here again and again.

After we asked the waiter if we could sit inside or outside and he said it didn't matter, we told him we would sit outside. A waiter came out several times, collected money, He made eye contact with us and actually knew that we needed cards and that the still full table had to be cleared. After waiting for over 10 minutes we left.

Nice discovery in Berlin, a pizza restaurant that is truly worth it... the pizza is large and very good, the first courses are excellent and plentiful, very good, you can feel the hand of the Sardinian chef and he is also the owner. I'll also say a few words for the staff... friendly, nice and well prepared and helpful... if you pass through those parts, go there, you won't be disappointed for sure...

The food wasn't bad but not tasty either, the pizza dough was very soft and not crispy. The Parmesan cheese was like hay. Why I had to give one star is the unfriendliness of the staff. The blonde waiter was so rude, rude. In addition, the room was very, very cold, the radiators were not warm. We couldn't sit for long.

Good food, lousy and arrogant service. Had reservations on Valentine's Day. Apparently there was no table at first. Were put on a six-pointer, later implemented in an unfriendly manner. After 30 minutes we complained that we would like to order. The waiter: “It doesn’t matter whether I come a minute or two earlier or later!” Regular customers, on the other hand, are served immediately. With all understanding of stress - NOT THAT way. It was hard to get out of the restaurant because there were so many people waiting for a table. Comfort is different. Never again.

As long-time and loyal Trattoria customers, we have enjoyed countless dishes over the years, but there is one that always wins our hearts: the Pizza di Bufala+ Mexicana with extra garlic. This pizza is a masterpiece of simplicity and taste. The dough is perfect: thin, crispy and yet elastic, with a slightly sour undertone that complements the fresh ingredients wonderfully. The buffalo mozzarella, creamy and tender, melts in the mouth and gives the pizza an incredible richness. The tomato sauce is homemade, sweet and flavorful without overpowering the pizza. And the basil, fresh and fragrant, adds the perfect accent. The size of the pizza is more than enough to satisfy two people. We really appreciate that the trattoria doesn't skimp on the ingredients. Every bite is a pleasure and you can taste the quality of every single component. But what really sets the trattoria apart is the exceptional service. The staff is always friendly, attentive and accommodating. They spare no effort to ensure that guests feel comfortable and that their wishes are met. Whether it's a special pizza request or a wine recommendation, the team is always helpful and professional. We can only recommend the Pizza di Bufala + Mexicana and the Trattoria. It is a place where you feel at home and where you are guaranteed to enjoy an authentic and delicious Italian meal. Review Pizza…Perfetto! * Taste: 5/5 stars * Size: 5/5 stars * Ingredients: 5/5 stars * Service: 5/5 stars * Overall impression: 5/5 stars

First of all, good impression. Real Italian flair. Then the disillusionment. Waiter very reserved. Don't feel like reordering. Veal schnitzel was old and the sauce was poor. Same with my guest. Really embarrassing. No matter, gave a good 10% tip and it wasn't enough for "a reunion" - we were friendly and cooperative. We noticed that there was a completely new management that probably still had to get used to guests. Maybe recommended later…

We were visiting home and chose this restaurant. My husband's pizza salami was very large and good. Thin, crispy, well topped. Unfortunately I didn't like my pasta with chicken strips and mushrooms (bland, boring). I have never seen our companion's carpaccio like this in any restaurant. A mountain of salad, topped with carpaccio drowned in sauce and a bit of parmesan. The ambience was far too much like a “train station hall”, but that’s not entirely unusual in Berlin. Unfortunately I wouldn't come again.

Bitte lesen Sie sich einige Rezensionen der vergangenen Monate auch Jahre in Ruhe durch, auch auf anderen Internforen, wie Gigle, und entscheiden Sie selber, ob Sie hier eine Pizza essen wollen.

Unfortunately I can't comment on the food as I didn't even get the chance to order. I don't know if the employees there realize that you go to the restaurant because you're hungry. After I sat down at a table outside, no one came from service. At some point a waiter came by and I asked for the menu. He didn't bring them. After a long wait, I asked another waiter for the menu. He brought them and I ordered something from the chanterelle menu. After waiting for a while, the waiter comes and announces that there are no chanterelles available in the house. I then asked for the menu again and chose an alternative dish. However, the order didn't come because no waiter came by. The drink I ordered wasn't brought either. At some point I walked away from taught things. The selection on the menu isn't that great anyway - only a few dishes and almost everything with seafood or fish. There isn't even an Italian appetizer platter. However, the prices are steep. There will be no further attempt against these service refusers.
