Trattoria - Pizzeria Salento in Berlin

Old interior, new owners! The new service staff are friendly and helpful. Ultimately, it is no longer an insider tip for us. The food has worn off, the drinks: well. It just doesn't feel so wonderfully Italian anymore. It used to be really unique and adorable in its entirety. Very, very unfortunate...

We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. The food was excellent, made with high-quality ingredients that really made a difference in taste. The service was genuinely attentive, and the staff made us feel right at home. The atmosphere is warm and family-friendly, and the prices are very fair for what you get. Definitely worth a visit! Thank you!

THANK YOU for the decades of excellent hospitality from father and son.

Simply great! I was recently in Salento and I am absolutely satisfied! The food was authentic, fresh and very tasty – like a culinary trip to Italy. The homemade pizza was particularly a highlight! The service was very friendly, attentive and made sure that we felt more than comfortable. The ambience is cozy and stylish, perfect for a relaxed evening. I can fully recommend this restaurant to everyone. I'll definitely be back!!

Beware of new management. No more Italian. Food terrible, service super unfriendly, rude. Too bad that's it, never going there again...

Since I really enjoy Italian food, I definitely have to recommend it here. It was my first time eating there and we had pasta with a starter of bruscetta. The food was really TOP. Pasta Aldente, definitely no convenience ingredients. Tastes great!!! Praise to the chef! The service was professional and always there when it was appropriate. The ambience exudes a cozy atmosphere that invites you to spend the evening there with friends. Thank you.

Unfortunately no real 🇮🇹 anymore after the owner changed. We didn't like the food anymore (pizza too much cheese, carbonara too creamy! Both not very seasoned! It's a shame!

Authentic little slice of Italy with excellent pizza. The service in particular was attentive, friendly and flexible! At my request, a four-cheese pizza was even prepared, even though it wasn't on the menu. And what can I say? She was perfect, 10/10 smash. The pizza was served fresh and crispy, with aromatic herbs and a delicious garlic oil that was poured over it right at the table - a real treat. Many many Mille Grazie!!

Very nice staff and delicious food.

after a change of operator A lot has changed, unfortunately the service has suffered and the charm of the past has been lost

friendly, tasty, cheap, cozy highly recommended

Very good real Italian. Despite the full house, the waiters were quick and polite. We'd love to come back

Nice and very attentive Service staff, the menu leaves nothing to be desired and there is a real “Italian feeling” when eating. An absolute tip to try for anyone who loves Italian food.

Pizza to pick up was very tasty. I was even offered a new one because it was probably 1 minute too long. Still a pleasure :))) I'll be back :p

Unfortunately, these are not Italian flavors at all :( the sauce is like tomato soup in the houses of my friends from primary school, or like a sauce for cabbage rolls. So it's quite tasty, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with Italian cuisine. Very nice service

A fantastic Italian restaurant! The service was quick and friendly. The food is fresh and full of flavor. We'll definitely be back!

Absolutely recommended. The food, ambience and service are top. Idyllic, familiar and very accommodating. I'd love to come back here!

We came back from vacation and went straight back to our favorite Italian restaurant that we have been going to for years. As always, you are welcomed well and the service is extremely friendly and of course the food is excellent as always. We had a very nice evening with the family! 😊

No longer recommended after the change of ownership....used to be a great shop, great food...now everything is gone, poor service (inattentive), new cooks, food has deteriorated significantly (no longer recommended), service replaced, etc....it's a shame , he probably won't survive for long.....was there for almost 20 years...now it's history......

Unfortunately it has been sold and is no longer in Italian hands!

A great Italian restaurant! My wife and I had rump steaks with tagliatelle and cream champions. Beforehand there was a starter salad with an exquisite yoghurt dressing. The steaks were grilled and cooked to perfection! The price of €31 was fair and absolutely justified. The staff is on their toes and super friendly, even when the house is full and under stress, and they respond to special requests. We don't go to Berlin often, but when we're in the area again, we'll definitely come back! Kind regards from the sunny island of Rügen. Mia and Nico

Seit Juni neue Bewirtschaftung. Die alten Kellner sind bereits weg. Die Deko ist noch die selbe und auch das 23 Jahre Jubiläum steht noch an der Tür. Die neuen Besitzer sind keine Italiener und schmücken sich hier mit fremden Federn. Ach ja, als langjähriger Stammgast täglich kommen und zu lange bleiben darf man nicht, dann wird ein Hausverbot ausgesprochen. Geht's noch!

New management since June. The old waiters are already gone. The decoration is still the same and the 23rd anniversary is still on the door. The new owners are not Italian and are adorning themselves with foreign feathers. Oh yes, as a long-time regular guest you are not allowed to come every day and stay too long, then you will be banned from entering the building. Are you crazy!

Nice staff, the food tastes very good, I've been there several times and can only recommend it!

Lunch menu. Very yummy spaghetti with pork. Very friendly services.

A nice Italian restaurant that is a bit away from the local city life and is therefore nice and quiet. The food was very tasty and the service was extremely friendly. You can sit outside on the terrace, which is great in summer. The prices are reasonable and the food was delivered quickly.

First class food, friendly great service. Absolutely recommended

Very cozy in the beer garden too, friendly, tasty, filling. Popular local restaurant with Italian flair.

Got the best pizzas we've had in a long time. Good mood. Very friendly waiters. We had an overtired three-year-old child with us and were treated like royalty. Would highly recommend Trattoria - Pizzaria Salento for both the food and service. Wonderful experience.

Once again very tasty and pleasant 😀

The portions were small for the price, but we would happily come back.

It's our favorite Italian restaurant for a reason. Once again we felt very comfortable and the food was extremely tasty.

A really great restaurant with really great pasta..

The atmosphere, the food, the drinks, the service, everything is great!!!

Food great! Service great! Unfortunately the wrong cups and no water for espresso! Toilets, well

There is plenty of food here and something for everyone. When the weather is nice you can sit outside and otherwise there is quite a lot of space inside. Things are a bit stagnant when there are more than 12 people and almost everyone wants pizza 🍕 .. something can burn and according to the statement (you should understand fun differently here)... Pizza with a difference 🤭. If you are sensitive...I think humor is not the same here...it comes across as a bit unfriendly. Overall, we felt well looked after

Very attentive service and good food.

Was very tasty, really great food. Unfortunately, annoying radio music was playing the whole time and even after I asked the waiter nothing was changed. Not suitable for Italian. Still recommended

We go there almost every week, the food and service is excellent. They are real Italians. Pizza is like in Italy: with a nice, thin dough. The tagliatelle with truffles are also highly recommended.

Very tasty restaurant in a quiet location with great service and very good food. It was just a beautiful evening.

Went for dinner with a group after a funeral. Great ambience, fast service and good taste. I would go again.

Solid pizza Tastes good and does what it's supposed to do. Fed up :) Can be recommended

The food OK, but nothing special, the house wine very simple for 6.90 euros, friendly service, good location and nice rooms

New and delicious restaurant... Price wise 👌 🆗️.

Great atmosphere. Warm service. The most delicious Italian cuisine and fair prices. No wish is left unfulfilled. We would like to thank you for a wonderful evening! 🇮🇹👍

The telephone person is really nice and sweet. He saved my sister from the toilet 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Delicious food, reasonable prices with large portions (lasagna and pizza scampi)

Go here for bowling and great food

Just a really good shop. Always good food. Always good service. Always nice atmosphere.

Fast, courteous and friendly service. Food was very tasty, especially the pizza from the stone oven...Great location 👍

Very tasty and above all very warm! A completely successful visit! I had the pizza, the other guests' dishes also looked very tasty and we could hear corresponding compliments from the neighboring tables. Well attended even around 1630, I can fully confirm the other reviews and hymns of praise.

We had a wonderful evening with very accommodating staff. The food was simply delicious. It certainly wasn't the last time these friendly people saw us.

Super tasty, extremely polite, super fair prices!

A great restaurant! Great food, very nice service, a terribly nice family, individual care.

Super delicious pizza and tiramisu. The service is always super polite. RECOMMENDED.

Your Italian around the corner. In the same place for many years. Father and son run the store. There's nothing to complain about here.

Regardless of whether we come to Salento as a family or with colleagues, there is always and without exception very good service, with excellent food and drinks in an Italian atmosphere. Dietmar Krebs family

Very good food and particularly friendly service - gladly again!

Good cuisine at moderate prices. Also offers different lunch options. Friendly, attentive service. Cozy atmosphere inside the restaurant. In summer you can also sit comfortably outside.

It was our first time in this restaurant and we reserved a table for 8 people. The service was perfect - couldn't have been better, very friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and we also really liked the ambience. We will be back.

The olive oil crisis arrived at this place, I went to get a bottle because they didn't deliver it to the table, a very unfriendly employee shouting in the middle of the room said I couldn't get it, and gave me another bottle of his choice (probably a mixed olive oil or other thing), places lose customers because of pennies, incredible. What saved the night was the great service from the waiter who served our table.

Unfortunately just a very average Italian

We would have been there almost 1 month ago. Boss arrogant, employees are nice, food sometimes...

Delicious Italian food and very attentive service... simply recommended, especially if you want to "switch off" in the evening

Cozy Italian, very friendly and unobtrusive staff. Always eat well 👍

We were there in a group to go bowling and then eat. Very nice service, good food, we will definitely come back!

Great service 👍 very nice service Very cozy, very good food. Despite very good quality, not overpriced. The soups, especially the bean soup, are also recommended.

Tasty italian food. The staff is kind and attentive. Always a safe and enjoyable election.

Notre escale favorite sur BERLIN; Restaurant d'habitués qui viennent manger "chez eux"..Décoration hétéroclite dans l'ensemble avec belle terrasse pour l'été. Les pizza sont bonnes comme toujours, les plats à la carte sont correctes, on y vient pour un moment calme avec un clientèle allemande ; Bémol pour les frites pas assez cuites... j'aime cet établissement simple, loin des spots à touristes.Nous connaissons très bien BERLIN Je recommande, VOYAGEUR CONFIRME

A wonderful Italian restaurant. The service is top notch and the food is always of great quality. We look forward to further visits.

A really classic Italian restaurant, really big with lots of tables and nice service. Classic pasta dishes cost €10 plus and are therefore not that cheap. But it tastes quite good and you can go here quite easily.

Pizza au top Spécialités italiennes bien faites

Der Service ist hervorragend, alle Speisen werden mit liebe zubereitet, Kurzurlaub in Italien. Wir sind seit 10 Jahren Stammgäste und immer mehr als zufrieden.

The whole family loved Salento. Great atmosphere, good food and fantastic service service from Lorenzo. We have been here for dinner three times and we will come back!

Lorenzo ist ein herausragender Gastgeber und die Gerichte sind fantastisch (was wir in dieser Umgebung nicht vermutet hätten) Wir haben das Restaurant nur durch Zufall besucht, weil unser Hotel in der Nähe war und wir nach der Arbeit noch schnell etwas essen wollten. Wir waren anschließend jeden Abend dort und es wurde weder kulinarisch, noch menschlich langweilig. Egal wo wir das nächste Mal in Berlin arbeiten und nächtigen werden - essen werden wir in Lorenzos Trattoria - Pizzeria Salento. Schade das uns 500km trennen, ich würde nur noch dort italienisch essen gehen (Meine Frau ist Italienerin und ich kenne einige ital. Restaurants in Europa)

Italienisch essen mit Geschmack. Gute Küche, angenehmes Ambiente, toller Service - was will man mehr! Toiletten leider 90er. Highly recommended!

Liebe Familie und geschätzte Mitarbeiter, ich möchte mich von Herzen bei euch bedanken. Euer hervorragender Service und die kulinarischen Genüsse haben unsere drei Tage in Berlin zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Jeder Moment war von eurer Gastfreundschaft geprägt, und das Essen auf höchstem Niveau hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Wir fühlen uns nicht nur glücklich, sondern regelrecht verwöhnt durch eure Aufmerksamkeit und die unvergleichliche Qualität eures Services. Nochmals herzlichen Dank für diesen super Service

"Fantastisch! Hervorragender Service, ausgezeichnetes Essen…Vielen Dank an Lorenzo !!!

Lieben Dank Lorenzo für die Gastfreundschaft. Super Setvice , Super Küche. Komme gerne wieder🫶. Toller Kellner🫶🫶

Gutes italienisches Essen. Sehr kompetenter und freundlicher Ober.

Sehr gutes italienisches Essen. Insgesamt ein vielseitiges Angebot, es gibt mehr als nur Pizza und Pasta. Das Nachtischangebot ist ebenfalls sehr reichhaltig. Der Oberkellner ist sehr freundlich und ein Meister seines Fachs. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Richtiger Italiener mit sehr gutem Essen. Viele Stammgäste dort. Für uns immer ein gutes Zeichen. Man fühlt sich zu Hause. Preis-Leistung angemessen. Immer wieder gern kehren wir dort ein.

Danke...das ich auch als Erwachsene eine Kinder Pizza bekommen habe...war total lecker 👍😃

Zufällig bekommt man zunächst eine Karte, in der das günstige Tagesgericht nicht aufgeführt ist. Der Pfeffer auf dem Tisch ist vorgemahlen und entsprechend ohne Aroma. Der Gastraum hat die Atmosphäre einer Wartehalle und der Wein ist völlig überteuert.

Immer ein Erlebnis, freundliches Personal und eine gemütliche Atmosphäre

Sehr bodenständig und freundlich. Preis sind angemessen, gerne wieder.

Great quality food for great quality prices. I was skeptical at first when looking from the outside, but when i got inside the skepticism went away. It looks like a little cut out of Italy in the middle of Berlin. Perfectly cozy spot.

Ich war einige Zeit nicht hier - mein Fehler. Qualität und freundliches, schlagfertiges Personal unverändert gut 🙂

Einfach wunderbar! Toller Service, leckeres Essen und super fair! Danke!!!

Great pizza, many different options for toppings and it came fasrlt

Sehr nette und authentische Bedienung mit teilweise italienischen Wurzeln. Die Pizzen sind bei normalen Preisen angesetzt und sind schnell am Tisch. Die Tomatensauce und der Teig sind aromatisch und schön dünn.

Bei jedem unserer Besuche über viele Jahre hinweg hat uns die Qualität der Speisen und die freundliche zugewandte Art des Personals voll überzeugt. Macht bitte noch lange so weiter!

Heute mal wieder hervorragend gegessen im Salento. Die Pizzen sind gross, saftig und lecker. Auch das Tiramisu ist unglaublich lecker. Die Bedienung ist sehr schnell und freundlich. Ja und alles zum moderaten Preis. So sollte es sein. Salento ist wirklich ein authentischer Kiez Italiener. Und an die wenigen Meckerköppe hier: Eure Bewertungen können wir nicht verstehen, und Euch braucht niemand !! Leute wie Euch kenne ich nur zu gut aus eigener beruflicher Erfahrung. Solche Leute wie Euch ignoriert man einfach mal ! Weiter so Salento ! Lieben Gruss an das Team.

Freundliche Bedienung, leckere Pizza und der Preis in Ordnung Endlich nach Jahren wieder in Berlin und unser Weg führte uns ins Salento. Preis , Leistung geht zu heutigen Zeit . Bedienung freundlich und Essen wieder lecker. Danke für den schönen Abend

Sehr gute Pizza und Tiramisu und sehr guter Service!

Aufmerksames und nettes Personal. Sehr leckere Pizza bei fairen Preisen. Das Tiramisu als Dessert ist auch empfehlenswert.

Excellent quality of food, very good prices and welcoming Italian/German/English speaking service

Been there several times with friends, always were satisfied with dishes and atmosphere

Hier heerlijk gegeten. Personeel is vriendelijk. Leuke zaak. Het was erg druk maar wel gezellig. Goede Vega opties.
