Trattoria - Pizzeria Salento in Berlin

Friendly family business. Solid food.

New owner, but absolutely recommended 👍

Delicious Italian food with roses excellent value for money! Gladly again

We had a classic Spaghetti Bologna dish with Focaccia Pugliese (pizza bread with fresh tomatoes and garlic). The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. We also received a small gift from the kitchen in the form of olives and some bread. We had a sweet wine to drink, which was really very good. We haven't had such a good meal in such a beautiful setting with such friendly staff in a long time. All in all, highly recommended. ...

Very tasty and very cozy, you definitely have to go there. Great store.

Everything is great! The food was amazing, from the starter to the dessert very tasty. The staff was extremely friendly, very attentive and warm. Everything was right here, clear recommendation, we will be back 😋

Very good food, friendly staff, fast service.

Old interior, new owners! The service staff are friendly and helpful. Ultimately, it is no longer an insider tip for us. The food has deteriorated, the prices have increased, the selection on the menu has been reduced and the service leaves something to be desired in places. The drinks: well. It just doesn't feel so wonderfully Italian anymore, even if the gentlemen act as if they are Italian. The obligatory olives are terrible. The men ignore empty glasses. The pizza knives could also be sharpened again. With an EC card you can only pay directly at the checkout, with a waiter who doesn't really have an overview. And the usual offer for an espresso or schnapps before the bill arrives only comes when you're already standing at the table in your coat. It used to be completely unique, adorable and very charming. There was never a yawning emptiness among the alumni on Friday afternoons. It's a very, very shame what has become of it. For us never ever again🫤

Gute Speisen und Getränke. Geheimtipp: Zabaione!

Very tasty pizza. Pleasant and fast service. Thank you very much!!!

Very friendly welcome, fast service and, last but not least, extremely good food. I can highly recommend the Carbonara to everyone!!! Clear recommendation :)

Very good value for money. Food tastes great.

Super great service - nice and accommodating

Nice ambience, food was excellent. The waiters were attentive and super friendly. and proactive. Despite the house being quite full, the food came quickly.

A highly recommended Italian restaurant that impresses with authentic food and a special atmosphere! As soon as you enter, you immediately feel welcome thanks to the warm welcome. The absolute highlight was the truffle pasta, which was prepared directly at the table in a parmesan loaf - freshly shaved truffles and the creamy pasta with the show element were a delight for all the senses! The rest of the menu also offers great, authentic dishes. The service was very attentive and friendly, which rounded off the evening perfectly.

Wonderful shop. Everything is perfect!

Simply great, the restaurant has an appropriate Italian flair, you feel very well looked after and the food was of course very tasty. As if brought to Germany from Italy

I was there before it was really not good now there is a new operator and now the food is really good the beef fillet with garlic is super fried and like in 90 years the file is high and super fried five ☆☆☆☆ ☆plus

Highly recommended Italian. Everything is fresh, deliciously created and fairly priced. The ambience is inviting and the service is amazing. Heart, what more do you want? Molto bene & grazie mille! Gladly again!

Friendly, polite and professional staff. The change of management is really spot on, the food is better than before or whatever. Old times!!! super friendly waiters worth trying!

Pizza is good but since the new owner has had a new owner they have unfortunately changed the pasta and unfortunately it no longer tastes good

Has exactly 2 things in common with the Salento of the last 23 years after the change of ownership: 1. Name 2. Address.

Maximum profit must be made during the Christmas season. Otherwise, I don't understand how you can control large groups like that. The food was ok, everyone enjoyed it. Ultimately it wasn't a burner. However, the knives were so blunt that the pizza ended up being torn apart. Drinks came very quickly that was really good. But it was far too narrow. Good thing some of us were missing. Otherwise we would have been allowed to take them on our laps.

Ordered a tomato salad today. 7.50 euros for a sliced ​​tomato and a few onions without spices or oil. Bottomless impudence.

Very friendly staff and very cozy place, all very good! Thank you!!

Salento has been an institution for years, run by father and son. Unfortunately both of them have stopped and the restaurant has a new catering, unfortunately no more Italians. First of all: I wish the former owner all the best and thank him for his years of hospitality, as well as the former staff. - A restaurant like this probably lives more from regular customers than from tourism, which is due to the remote location, unfortunately things haven't gotten any better in the last few months. They made the mistake of changing the staff quickly, the prices also rose and the quality of the food decreased significantly. I've already seen regulars return their food because it was significantly worse than before. I can confirm that too. To be fair, the restaurant isn't bad, but the prices quoted are no longer justified. What's missing now: the charm. The former staff had a heart and were always available for small talk; they made you feel really comfortable. The current service has been noticed several times due to a lack of attention, you basically have to beg for the empty plates to finally be cleared away. Special requests that have been possible for years are dismissed with “no”. All of these are too many short-term changes to keep regular customers like me. It's a shame, but even after I was there with several other guests, the previously enthusiastic praise of this restaurant was not repeated.

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!

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! 😊

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

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......

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

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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 👍

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.

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.

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!
