Trattoria Toscana in Berlin

Great atmosphere, attentive service, very good food and honest value for money - highly recommended!

Lack of respect for the customer! DO NOT TAKE YOUR WIVES BECAUSE THE WAITER (SAMUEL?) harasses them! My wife was persistently harassed by him!

Extremely friendly and accommodating of gluten allergy. Delicious food. Very talented staff. Exceptional service.

A lovely Italian restaurant with good food and a cozy living room atmosphere. A true trattoria, as it should be.

We were in Prenzlauer Berg looking for an authentic Italian restaurant without a two-hour waiting list and stumbled upon Trattoria Toscana. We weren't disappointed: we found a welcoming, genuine restaurant with checkered tablecloths and frescoes on the wall. The pizzas were really good with generous toppings; we just wished the crusts were a bit crispier. Another plus: despite the Christmas rush, the waiters were in good spirits, and we felt wonderfully looked after!

The food was okay (but nothing you couldn't get elsewhere), and the service was very arrogant. A definite no-go: NO CARD PAYMENTS! This wasn't mentioned anywhere, neither verbally nor in writing, for example, on the entrance door or on the menu. The reason given was that the owner had recently passed away and they were currently switching their card payment system... The only problem is that many reviews mentioned this issue as a negative point months, even years, ago!?!? (How many owners die there???) Therefore, it leaves a very dubious aftertaste! The trade supervisory office should definitely investigate!!! Furthermore, it's very cramped, uncomfortable, hot, and loud! We will definitely not be coming back!

I ate at this Italian restaurant and unfortunately felt very uncomfortable. The waiter was clearly caught up in his macho ego – every request I made was met with a curt or arrogant response. Even when I tried to get a table by the door, I was rudely told that "only this table is available." When I politely asked for a wine sample, instead of listening, he simply named the cheapest wine. Later, when I chose a different wine, he sneered that it was "like the difference between an S-Class and a Polo." Such comments were unnecessary and disrespectful. I'm usually patient and ignored a lot, but at some point, the atmosphere became so unpleasant that I lost my appetite. Other guests – especially women – also seemed visibly uncomfortable or left immediately. It's a shame, because the food was actually good, but with service like that, you simply don't want to stay.

very delicious and big portions! and prices are very pleasant 🌚 friendly staff and cozy inside ☺️ recommended 💯

will be back 4 sure! We had Pizza and Vitello tonnato, both excellent. And a good red together with great service.

The best Spezi in all of Berlin is here!!!

Papardelle were good, antipasti could be better.

Highest recommendation both food, atmosphere and especially kids friendly

Simply in a class of its own. The food is consistently delicious. The staff is very professional. The ambiance is just what you'd expect from an Italian restaurant, and at reasonable prices.

Everything was great, but I deducted two stars because you can only pay in cash. It's 2025, folks! That's unacceptable!

Paying only in cash is really annoying. I had to trudge to the ATM and back again. The food was okay. The waiter was very nice.

Toscana has been our regular Italian restaurant for many years – and for good reason. Especially in summer, the outdoor seating is lovely and you can enjoy the atmosphere. The pasta, pizza, and meat dishes like saltimbocca are excellent. The staff is always super friendly and attentive. We'd love to come back!

Very good food for a normal price

Good pizza, attentive service. Unfortunately, the terrace is somewhat negatively affected by traffic noise.

Most wonderful experience ever, so sweet employment, delicious food, just 10/10, can recommend❤️❤️❤️❤️

Delicious food, very nice waiter. But unfortunately, cash only!

Very friendly staff, very tasty pizza and at the end of the dinner we were given a gift in the form of shots of martini, cognac and lemonade. I recommend it. I will definitely come back.

Disappointment at Toscana – Discrimination and Embarrassment My experience at Toscana Restaurant in Berlin was embarrassing and unacceptable. The restaurant accepts credit cards, but for some completely arbitrary reason, they chose my table to refuse card payment. Without any reasonable explanation, I was forced to wander the streets looking for an ATM, leaving my family behind. This was a huge embarrassment, created gratuitously by the restaurant's selective and discriminatory attitude. If they accept cards, they should accept them for everyone. If not, they should clearly state this before serving. Handpicking customers to make payment difficult is disrespectful and unethical. I will never return—and I don't recommend it to anyone.

Tasty pasta, nice service, but for some reason they don't accept card payments. Good place.

The waiter as cold as a prison door cooks Italian food that the name canteen level avoided

Well, pizza doesn't have much to do with Italy, you can also go to a Turkish snack bar

Mediocre food, ingredients seem to be cheaply sourced, and the staff is arrogant and rude. If you want a pleasant evening with good ingredients, you'll find better Italian restaurants.

Quite a nice atmosphere, but hardly any Italian restaurant radiates such a "buy cheap" vibe as this one. Experienced cooks can still make something out of it, but if you know a little about ingredients... nope.

We always love coming here. A little piece of Italy in the heart of Berlin.

Super delicious food, friendly service, highly recommended.!!!😋🤩

The pizza was undercooked and half-raw. The cheese was the cheapest imitation cheese, and the meat was the cheapest ham I've ever seen. I had severe stomach pain and other problems while using the bathroom. I will never eat here again.

A fantastic experience in terms of food and service. The waiters know exactly what you need and give good choices. Charming, as real Italian men should, they ensure a pleasant stay ♥️♥️

Very nice and helpfull. Takes only cash!

Really nice atmosphere. Just what you want from an Italian restaurant. Good food and very friendly staff Kerstin

One of my favorite Italian restaurants for many years. I used to live around the corner and went there often. I haven't lived there for many years, but I still treat myself to the good food and friendly service whenever I can. Note: Cash only! It's best to park in the Kulturbrauerei underground parking garage. From there, it's about a three-minute walk.

Very friendly staff, lovely outdoor seating in the sun.

We had a wonderful evening with our family. Alberto had a perfect sense of things and came up with the right suggestions at the right time. Delicious food! The wine was also fantastic and when we wanted another glass, but not a whole bottle, Alberto solved that very smoothly. Thanks! When leaving the restaurant we also had a very nice conversation and a grappa with the owner (Alberto's father). Great atmosphere and great food!

Absolutely TOP ambience... great service, friendliness is very important... the landlord even bought a cigarette out of his own pocket

It appears reservations count for nothing. I had a table booked for 2 people on Saturday 5th April (confirmation of this received via email) got there on time for the waiter to say they are fully booked and have no tables for me and weren’t accepting reservations?? I had the half marathon the next day and had specifically booked this restaurant as it was close to my hotel and had carb rich food which is what was required. It’s not often I write bad reviews but having to wrote this, to make others aware in case the same thing happens to them.

We were welcomed very kindly and we ate very delicious food.

Staff is nice, service was quick, unfortunately the food was just average.

No card only cash restaurant. We sat at this cute litte table where I had the black pasta with salmon and shrimps in a tomato sauce. The dish came out piping hot and was nice. Nothing too special, but it had nice chucks of salmon and two fairly big shrimps. Service was ok, could be a bit more friendly, but it was a very crouwded night. Staff speaks English.

What is that - can you tell me?!?!? It’s too delicious!!! The portions are too big!! Service was too nice!!!! Never been to Italy, but now I think I was. Thank you 💞

Highly recommended. Delicious food and always friendly staff. I'd be happy to go back 👍

Tasty Italian food, with an authentic Italian Atmosphere and great service. Great for a within the week date night.

Absolutely recommended!! Mega delicious food... and very friendly staff! Very cozy...everything typically Italian🙃 Only a “half” star deduction because only cash payment is possible 😉

Accueil chaleureux service rapide et impeccable , nourriture copieuse et excellente, prix raisonnable pour Berlin que demander de plus ! Seul bémol paiement uniquement en espèces mais nous y reviendrons !

The price-performance ratio was great! We got large portions, the service was nice and the ambience was nice.

Visiting Berlin had reserved a table for us online. Yesterday we were informed on site that online reservations have no longer been technically working since September. There was no apology. We then went to another restaurant.

Very tasty food with homemade noodles and very nice staff. Always happy again and worth recommending.

The best place to make a date! So typical, super nice atmosphere and really great staff! The food is just as good, the experience is really successful, go for it!!!

We went for lunch today. It was very, very tasty and Wassim, the waiter, was extremely friendly. Just like every time! Thank you!

Great food and lovely staff. Absolutely recommended 👍

It's a cozy place. The service is arrogant and unfriendly. The food is bad. The carpaccio was stale and dry. The tagiatelle with porcini mushrooms and beef fillet had a uniform sauce and the fillet consisted of two slices of carpaccio that floated in the sauce like pieces of cloth. I don't know why it's so popular, there are definitely many better alternatives.

Excellent food - including amazing pizza. Great atmosphere. Looking forward to our next visit!

Food good, nothing special. But no card payment so only 2 stars!

The menu and food was so good we will for sure come back! Good service and nicely accommodated us with a baby! Atmosphere super cosy

Staff ignores you at the entrance

Good food, great service, would be happy again but you should make a reservation.

Great Authentic Italian Restaurant. Food is excellent and staff is really friendly. Make sure to bring cash (no card), although the bancomat is in the neighborhood.

Very friendly and accommodating conditions and very tasty food!

Wonderful evening, delicious food, nice atmosphere. Recommended

Were here for the first time and were warmly welcomed. The food was very tasty and the service was impeccable. Our waiter was super personable and gave us the feeling of being “guests with friends”. We would be happy to come back☺️

¡Un lugar absolutamente encantador! La comida era agradable y todo menos el servicio era increíble. Sólo efectivo. Preciosa vibra íntima. Nos gustó tanto nuestro camarero que volvimos para darle una buena propina. Siempre tan amable y acogedor.

Nice Italian cafe with nice waiters

We have been coming here for many years and it is always nice. The service is super friendly, even towards children, and the food is great.

2024 ---> only cash 😱 2024 ---> Berlin is so full of Italians that you can have the menu rewritten correctly. Pasquale is a name and is written with the letter Q and not C. We cannot comment on the quality of the food and service because, not having CASH, we had to leave. Classic red herring.🤷🏼‍♂️

The food was simply excellent, and the atmosphere was also very nice. Card payment would be great. I've been waiting for this for a decade now🤗

Very tasty food on the recommendation of a Macedonian waiter. We are very satisfied with the service and food. Any recommendation!

Beautiful place, my fav food. The best is the linguine with scampi and a spicy sparagus, white-w ine sauce

The food (the pizza and a tiramisu) were great. Unfortunately, the ambience lost a star due to the large number of people outside. Still a good Italian restaurant to recommend!

Attention, of course, no card payment is possible here!! Staff could no longer find or print out the outstanding invoice. Instead, they looked for another (higher) bill from the trash can with the note that they could deduct even more from their taxes. Delicious food with a really bitter aftertaste!

Best pizza salads pastas smiling honest. Thx everything

Food was so-so, but really bad was that staff didn't bother to tell us beforehand that credit cards weren't accepted, no notices were displayed either. One of us was sent off to find a cash mashine. Deplorable.

Liebevoll eingerichtet mit vielen Plätzen draußen vor dem Restaurant. Die Bedienung war sehr nett und gibt gerne Tipps. Das Essen war super lecker.

Very tasty restaurant with moderate prices. What is unacceptable these days is that card payments are not possible. When will innkeepers learn that we are in 2024? Otherwise very nice staff and the toilets are clean. Because of the lack of card payment, I only give it three stars.

TOP fish soup and tomato cream Even black olives were tasty Best regards to the super waiter with dark hair who saved us from being hungry in the late evening!

We sit outside under the awning on this warm summer evening and are pampered. 😍 Flambéed beef, sesame-crusted tuna, children's spaghetti and beef tagliatelle. The charming gentlemen serve us extremely quickly and in a friendly, genuinely friendly manner. We came twice during our 4-day visit to Berlin and would love to come back. Attention: take cash.

Carte traditionnelle italienne, tarifs corrects et des serveurs aux petits soins, ambiance chaleureuse avec la petite bougie en début de nuit . Je recommande fortement

Great location. Yummy Yummy Yummy. Very attentive staff. Thank you. Unreservedly recommended.

Very nice atmosphere and courteous service. The food was extremely Tuscan and delicious. The restaurant is in a great and interesting setting. We'd love to come back!

We really enjoyed it here! Without a reservation, a table was prepared for us as a group of four and we were served very well. Attentive and charming, we were able to enjoy a perfect dinner, with reasonable portions and deliciously prepared, despite the European Football Championship broadcast. I'd love to come back!!

Really good food, super nice (Italian) atmosphere, a nice grappa at the end, great service, the boss freed up a table especially for us. Can't understand how anyone can give this less than 5 stars. Any time.

Amazing food, friendly staff, nice location. Loved the food, wish they would accept card payment though.

We love you!Alberto is the best!

Really delicious food, wine, attentive and friendly staff! Athentic Italien food.

Can’t say anything bad about this place. Just love everything: from food, service and ambiance!

10/10! Super delicious food, really great service! Absolute recommendation

We found the Cucina Italiana-Trattoria Toscana very inviting. We sat outside and ate antipasti, side salad and lamb fillet in red wine sauce. The food, especially the lamb, tasted excellent, and there was also a limoncello from the house or alternatively a grappa. We recommend.

Cozy atmosphere with very nice staff. The food was delicious, if you are looking for the Italian atmosphere in Berlin this is the place!

Good service and food! The waiter was really nice :)

Verry Nice place to eat pizza and pasta! Cozy restaurant

It is a place with much charme, good food and very nice service

A very cozy place, with great service and great food!!

Very friendly staff and delicious food. Would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Buen servicio y buena comida por un muy buen precio. Alberto y los demás hicieron nuestra visita a Berlín muy agradable que disfrutamos!

Dinner was amazing and the personnel is very kind!

wonderful service with incredibly friendly staff! very nice atmosphere as if you were in Italy and great value for money, will definitely be back!

Very nice restaurant in Prenzlauer Berg, food very tasty, service very attentive. The only point of criticism is that no EC card payment is possible, there is no mention of anything, neither in the menu nor from the staff. Which led to a problem during a long evening with my friends: we had to get cash from the ATM for a high fee.

Classic and mind-blowing experience. Big thanks to Manuel.

Unfortunately it's not as tasty as it once was. Pizza with white sauce simply had no sauce at all. Ingredient quality dropped significantly. This was the third negative visit and our last. Service was super unfriendly and that was also different. We had an additional €2 on our receipt for other food, probably for bread and olives that we didn't even get. The cheapest drink on the menu is an alcoholic one for €4. Apple juice paragraph doesn't matter.
