Trattoria Toscana in Berlin

The restaurant is absolutely overrated. It doesn't live up to its reputation. I don't understand why the "haute volée" flocks here. The waiters, and the staff in general, are excellent, fast, and super friendly. The food is good, but nothing special. The tablecloths are dirty. The dishes are old, worn, grimy, and chipped. The path to the restrooms is particularly bad; the floor and stair railings are sticky, and the smell gets stronger on the way down to the basement. No soap, no paper towels, no toilet paper. And it was still very early in the evening. The floors, the doorframes, everything was dirty and worn. As awful as a train station restroom, I'm afraid to say. Once and never again.

Very friendly service and delicious food. We sat outside. The only downside is that smoking is permitted on the terrace.

So when birthdays are there, really quite loud but only for a few seconds otherwise everything very tasty and large portion

Tuvimos una excelente comida aquí! Ambiente muy agradable tanto en el interior como en el exterior. El personal era muy atento y nos atendió rápidamente. La comida era muy buena: Tuve tagliolini con pesto (tagliolina pesto genovesa), que era perfecto, además de vino. Mis compañeros invitados eran todos felices. Definitivamente volveré.

Always a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Delicious food, whether pizza, pasta, or meat 👍🏼

Price-performance ratio is perfect, food tastes good 👍

Very good service and food, for a surprisingly fair price. On a Friday evening, you could find a seat without a reservation, and the staff were practically beaming with good humor. The tip is more than deserved.

Der Service war schlecht. Selbst auf Nachfrage nach Besteck etc musste man warten. Man sollte bar bezahlen und Rechnung gab es keine... komisch, oder?

It was fun 👍 good food, fair prices 👍 nothing to complain about 😉

I had a reservation. When we arrived, they made us stand for 15 minutes. Even though we had a table, we were told it didn't matter: if the table was full, it was full. So what's the point of reservations? Waiting 2.5 hours to get pasta???? The salad wasn't washed, and we were served dried-out lemon slices... On top of that, the atmosphere was incredibly unpleasant; it was so loud that we couldn't even communicate with each other at our table.

I ate there last night and I must honestly say, the restaurant itself looks very, very nice. The service was unfortunately very slow and not particularly attentive. We unfortunately had to wait a very long time to place our order. Even glances at the waiters were ignored. When we arrived, they didn't even acknowledge us, which is a real shame. We waited about 10 minutes for a waiter to come over and assign us a table. They just relaxed and chatted with their colleagues instead of attending to customers... The quality of the food was more like a 2 out of 10. I had the spaghetti aglio olio, which was unfortunately a total disappointment. You could taste some kind of vegetable broth, and, well, cherry tomatoes in a real aglio olio? No, not really... The taste was also very, very bad, unfortunately. One thing has to be said, though, the chef was very nice and welcoming. The ambience looks very inviting. 5 stars for that ⭐️. Everything else, however, was more of a flop…

Wow. What a pizza! For lunch, only €8.90. Simply unbelievably good! Excellent service. Bread and olives were included for free, and refills were served without being asked.

If it weren't located on Clayallee, it would be 5 stars. Great food, top-notch service. It's just that the street location doesn't make for a cozy summer evening.

I won't be visiting this restaurant again. The food here used to be solid, and I enjoyed sitting outside. At some point, I suspect the waitstaff changed, and things have gone downhill since then. So steeply that on our last visit, my friend and I both had stomach cramps and diarrhea after our meal (the meat no longer smelled good). That was my last visit. There's no shortage of good Italian restaurants in Berlin, but unfortunately, this one isn't one of them.

Very nice ambience, great service..

Great even after Corona!! Food and drinks are still good to very good, and the service is also friendly, fast and attentive as usual. Always nice to sit there and enjoy. LG U. Knebel

Nice Italian restaurant, very large with plenty of seating, friendly service, solid quality of the food but not exceptional

The food was very good, but the service was unsatisfactory. What a pity.

Very cozy, friendly staff. A great location for a birthday party. The Kellers come to your table singing, with fireworks and dessert.

Very nice and well-located restaurant (Clayallee)..very good food at reasonable prices..not to forget the birthday serenade by the staff in case of a birthday party, desserts are super delicious..own but limited parking spaces (approx. for max. 8 cars) but in the immediate vicinity sufficient number of free parking spaces available..top👌always happy to go back

Very tasty 😋 food, good selection, moderate prices, nice staff, friendly fast service, ideal for family celebrations

It's a beautiful place in old West Berlin, where quality and service are paramount. Very good food, even at reasonable prices. The staff is friendly and competent. The service is quick, and the wait for your meal is shortened by a small snack. We Saxons (and the former Wedding resident) will definitely be back.

We've been visiting here at least once a month for over two years. The service is always friendly, special requests are always accommodated, and the food is delicious and the wines are excellent.

The staff are wonderful. So welcoming, friendly and very very professional. They're making sure I'm enjoying everything and making sure they act professionaly regarding every detail. I habe so much respect for the staff here, thank you! The food is amazing, excellent taste and not so expensive for that quality, and an appetozer of bread and tasty olives, not a lot of Berlin restaurants are that generous with their appetizers. I don't usually come to this area, but this restaurant will be the reason I fk more often.

Yes, it's very good, everyone is super nice and sometimes a bit chaotic.

May 31, 2025: Two of us sat outside on the terrace and were shown directly to our table, although we didn't have a reservation (we didn't arrive until 9:30 p.m.). The fountain was quietly trickling in the background, making it easy to have a good conversation. The noise level was perfectly acceptable. The servers were all very polite and friendly. We started with fresh baguette and green olives on the house. The food was great! We had saltimbocca alla Romana and lamb fillet with porcini mushrooms and onions. Both dishes came with potatoes and seasonal vegetables (leaf spinach, zucchini, and peppers), according to the menu. A glass of Primitivo red wine and a Limoncello Spritz were also delicious! We finished with a tiramisu, and even though it was already closing time, we got our dessert around 11:30 p.m. After we paid, we were given an Amaretto (or Sambuca, if you prefer) on the house. All in all, a very nice evening with 25 degrees at the end of May :)

I have been visiting this place for about 3 years at least 3 times a month and I would recommend it without hesitation.

Delicious food with good value for money in a beautiful setting. Unfortunately, the service is all the worse for it. When requesting card payment, even for bills over €50, the bar is sometimes repeatedly pointed out, in a very pushy manner. I've experienced this several times where I'm initially ignored for a long time, and then the drinks are simply placed at the front of the table, leaving the guests to distribute everything themselves. That's fine for a kebab shop, but not for such a large Italian restaurant in Zehlendorf.

The service is very attentive. All four of us found the food to be good to very good. I would recommend reserving a table. We were at the trattoria on a Friday evening, and it was packed.

A wonderful restaurant! We have lived in this area for quite a long time and have something to compare with: good service, delicious food from quality products, normal prices. Children are welcome here - this is not the case everywhere in Germany. I will definitely recommend it to anyone staying in these areas of Berlin. Thank you very much again.

Very tasty pizza, nice service, only the acoustics are a bit loud

Four of us arrived on Saturday lunchtime without a reservation. It was our first visit, and the trattoria was very busy. We got a nice table, had a wonderful meal, and enjoyed first-class service. At the end, we were treated to a delicious dessert on the house and a digestif on top of the fair bill. A very pleasant surprise in the current dining landscape. Thank you for the lovely afternoon.

I met my friends here for dinner today. After half an hour we finally got our drinks, but we couldn't place our food order because the waiter wanted to come back. After we had been sitting there for an hour and the waiter had served the tables next to us several times, we signaled for the waiter to come over so we could finally place our orders. He then came to our table, rolled his eyes and asked annoyed what we would like to order. I was so shocked by his behavior that I didn't even know how to react. The restaurant was very busy, but that doesn't give the waiter the right to take our order with a roll of his eyes and an annoyed tone. It was my first time and certainly the last time I went to this restaurant. I have never experienced anything like this before. Perhaps some staff training would be appropriate. The food was very good.

We love the trattoria! It's always delicious, the pizzas are like wagon wheels, and we often can't finish the pasta portions... The atmosphere and ambiance are super nice, and the servers are all very friendly and authentic! We'd love to go back!

It was simply fantastic there. Everyone had to go the first night and again the next evening. Highly recommended.

Arrived at 5:50 p.m. and was immediately informed that we would like to know how long it would take to prepare the food. We were promised 15-20 minutes. In the end we sat for almost 3 hours until the food came. This isn't directly the fault of the restaurant or a superior, but rather a waiter who shifted the blame around, which is why it takes longer. Instead of taking responsibility and seeing where the food is, only cheap excuses in broken German. Tip: It's generally a great place - but if you get the waiter with a beard and 2mm of hair - run away. The gentleman didn't understand his job and is completely out of place

We won't be coming back! We waited for almost an hour for the bill to be brought to us, but no one came. The waiter who actually served us just ran around the store stressed and obviously didn't have time for us. The neighboring table had already complained. In the end we had to go get our bill ourselves. The same thing happened with the packaging for the rest of our food: Nobody came, so we took care of it ourselves. Something like that just doesn't work. And unfortunately that wasn't the first time we had a bad evening here. Sometimes you don't get served at all, the staff are completely overwhelmed and just run around the store stressed out. In our opinion, the problem clearly lies with the boss - there are simply not enough staff and everything seems chaotic. You can't blame the waiters themselves - they do what they can, but they just can't keep up. That's a real shame because things used to be completely different. We came often - especially because of the friendly, attentive waiters who made the atmosphere so special. It was fun, it made you feel good. Now these people are no longer there, and unfortunately the good atmosphere has disappeared with them. Another problem is hygiene. When you go downstairs to the toilets, you immediately notice that they aren't cleaned thoroughly - that just fits in with the overall picture and is not what you should expect in a restaurant. This was the last visit for us today. It's really a shame how everything has changed - especially considering that we were regular customers.

It was our first time there and you are greeted less and ignored more. A few minutes later a waiter points to a table where you can then sit down. The restaurant is busy and it takes a while for the order to be taken and the food to be delivered. Still within limits. The food is good but not special. Rather average. But the price is totally okay.

The ambience and service are very nice, but so far only the pizza has been good, the rest is average to not recommended.

Traditional in the best sense Trattoria Toscana offers something that many other establishments now lack: excellent cuisine and, above all, excellent service. M.a.W. It is the way we generally knew Italian gastronomy in the “good old days”, but which is no longer the case all too often today. How can this be achieved? By doing what EVERY restaurateur should do to ensure the business runs well, owner Carmelo is ALWAYS present, has his eagle eyes everywhere, and even intervenes where necessary: ​​e.g. if a guest drops a fork or a pepper mill is missing. This is rewarded by the fact that the trattoria is "buzzing": twice a day - at lunchtime and in the evening - it is packed and not exactly empty in between, which confirms the consistency of my review. But the trattoria's greatest treasure is the service team, who keep the business running silently (and loudly singing serenades at guests' birthday parties) and unobtrusively. With perfect manners – so that as a guest I have the rightful feeling that I am the main welcome point. Just one detail: Faster than I can say "One beer please!" A basket of fresh, oven-warm bread and a plate of olives stand in front of me as a gift from the house and to bridge the waiting time. I have never experienced such a friendly, careful, attentive and always good-humored team, except in one or two starred restaurants! (A really good restaurant also needs a good internal working atmosphere. If this is missing, the guest will notice it in the behavior of the service staff, who usually change frequently, and will not feel comfortable! Or even worse, as is now so often the case, it is a soulless system catering operation where not even the staff knows the owner or owners.) Thank you, Gabriel, Mimmo, Romeo, and all the others! As a guest you will feel like you are in good hands. I've been a regular at your place for a long time. And if you don't get cocky with the compliments, I won't be too!!! :-) Your Professor Vincenzo P.S. One point deducted for the echoes of a touristy Italo-Kitsch atmosphere that has been outdated for decades. A subtle modernization would do the trattoria good - even from the outside!

Friendly - delicious - pleasant atmosphere - plus an unexpected serenade and volcano with ice cream for your birthday 😀🎉

I have zero complaints about this restaurant. They took us with a 2 year old and a newborn without reservations. The food was delicious and everything they walked by with for all the other guests looked delicious. Definitely coming back to this place again!

After a visit to the botanical garden, I looked for and found this Italian. The reviews made us give it a try and we weren't disappointed. My steak was really very good, tasted at the highest level. So there is now another restaurant on the list :-)

Beautiful place, great food and good prices

Very nice staff! Delicious food! Service and ambience ok! Thank you and keep it up!

Super tasty, children are also catered for.

Update 04.2025: The terrace is finally open again. Summer can come!! Today we had tagliolini con scampi and a calzone. Both were really extremely tasty. The service was friendly and quick. Gladly again and see you soon👍👋 Very good Italian restaurant. Pizza, pasta and meat dishes good to very good. Service good (better in the evening than at lunchtime), ambience cozy, very busy in the evening, therefore a bit loud and hectic. But gladly again

Yes, very friendly service. Good food, moderate prices. Highly recommended.

La comida estaba bien, nada especial. Elegí un vino Glas of Toscane que probablemente fue uno de los vinos más baratos que me ofrecieron, la segunda copa, un vino siciliano estaba bien. Pero el servicio era simplemente inaceptablemente amable y al final simplemente grosero. Pasamos más de una hora antes de que nos sirvieran el primer plato. Uno de los platos principales, un pescado, estaba seco y por debajo de una calidad aceptable. Los precios eran aceptables. Solíamos visitar con frecuencia este restaurante, incluso invitando a grupos más grandes de amigos. Siempre estábamos satisfechos de ir a comer un bocado rápido. Es el servicio general al que nos oponemos. Evitaremos este restaurante en el futuro. .

Great location What I think is great is that you can get in with a wheelchair and the staff is very nice and friendly. Always happy, thank you 👍 👍 👍 🙏

We felt very comfortable here, e The food, ambience and the staff rounded everything off, my birthday was celebrated with a serenade from the staff, we would love to come back here, an Italian that you don't find anymore

We celebrated a birthday here. We really liked the honest, warm manner of the friendly staff. It was authentically Italian there. They say the crew comes from Bologna. The food was authentic and very tasty. I would also like to add that the prices are still affordable, i.e. it was surprisingly affordable. We will definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends. We also plan to eat here more often. We felt very welcome here, well served and friendly. In summary, it was a very successful evening in this beautiful restaurant. I'm very happy, there's really nothing wrong here. Dear restaurant team, please keep it up.

Very tasty and inexpensive food!

Este restaurante estaba justo al lado de nuestro Airbnb. Necesitábamos carbohidratos, así que esta fue una opción perfecta para nosotros. El servicio fue excelente. Nuestro servidor nos ayudó a tomar nuestras decisiones ya que no hablamos alemán. Toda nuestra comida era deliciosa. El aperitivo era pan, aceite para mojar y aceitunas. Todos conseguimos diferentes platos principales y todos disfrutamos de ellos. La pasta era casera. Teníamos limoncello para después de la cena. Ojalá tuviéramos un restaurante como este en Estados Unidos.

A rather average Italian restaurant. The lasagna was rather average and the spaghetti carbonara was a bit too salty. The pizzas looked good, but we didn't try them. The service was friendly and routine. But we enjoyed the sunshine behind the window in the evening

Ich habe dort nur bestellt und das Essen abgeholt, Bedienung war nett und freundlich. Zum Essen, die Spaghetti sind kaum gesalzen gewesen was den Geschmack etwas fade machte, die Pizza war ok.

Food is ok. Service very bad. Waiters argue with each other, are arrogant and unfriendly.

The table wasn't set, the plates weren't clean, and we didn't get the white bread with olives that you usually get at the beginning. You had to beg the waiters to even be allowed to order. Unfortunately, they were also very unfriendly. The food was good, and the ambiance is nice, but with this kind of service, I'll never go there again! I ordered by phone. When I went to pay, the first waiter told me I could only pay the person who had served me the food. When I then went to pay them (after waiting 15 minutes), he suddenly said that he wasn't responsible for my bill because I hadn't ordered from him. And he did this in a cheeky tone, as if I were the one asking for money from him, not the other way around!

Excellent place to eat Italian food and drink good wine, the service was good, the waiters were very friendly, I liked the pasta I ordered. When I return to Berlin, I will definitely repeat this place. I give it 5 stars!

Our regular spot for special occasions, or just for a quick break, wonderful like a little vacation in Italy!

We were four with a 3 year old kid, We loved it. We ordered Pizza for everyone and the size was tasted very good. The hotel staff were friendly.

Prices way too cheap, restaurant way too crowded and loud!

Toppy...always happy to come back...

"The food in this restaurant is simply great and the service is first class! The atmosphere is very inviting and the staff are friendly and attentive. The bar is particularly a highlight - the Turkish bartender is very charming and creates a great atmosphere. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!"

Good: value for money and also the number and variety of dishes Bad: reservations never work out and the noise in the restaurant is breathtaking… Summary: 4 ****

We spent a good two hours. The service is wonderful. The food was delicious. Yummy !!! The atmosphere was very pleasant .I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Fast, friendly and respectful service. And the kitchen also knows its craft. Thanks, see you next time!

Very tasty food, really nice service. Very cozy facility. We felt completely comfortable and it wasn't the last time here!!!

Large selection of very tasty dishes. Lunch is served until 5 p.m. at very good prices, so it's also full.

Very tasty, nice service, good prices

Very good restaurant with very friendly staff. Top food. We'd love to come back

Very tasty, but also very crowded

It's great to sit and eat here. We eat here regularly. And no matter what we've eaten so far - no disappointment. Also a top choice for lunch

We love Trattoria Toscana! Not only is the food very tasty (the mixed dessert, Vitello Tonnata, is highly recommended), but the service is also great, as the waitress is always in a good mood, so you just feel comfortable there. In summer we like to sit outside next to the fountain and listen to the sound of the water. All the friends, family and acquaintances we have visited this restaurant with so far have been very impressed by the atmosphere and the dishes. There are enough parking spaces here.

Great restaurant...very tasty food...nice service...nice atmosphere

Very friendly. The food is very good. Child friendly.

The food was very good, but unfortunately the waiter told the neighboring table without being asked that he was choosing AFD and that was totally right. I don't think that's the case in every respect and I won't be visiting this restaurant again and won't recommend it to anyone

An absolute top Italian in Berlin. For me it's actually the best. Great ambience, very good service and amazing food. And all of this at moderate prices, which you wouldn't expect in this area!

very good and tasty 😋 nice service

We had on January 19th. Reserved and confirmed an indoor table online for 6pm, but when we arrived there was no table available for us. The waiter was extremely rude and annoyed and said we had to look around in the heated outside area. He didn't even ask my name. We finally found a table ourselves in the heated outdoor area, but after 10 minutes of waiting no one came to take our order. A terrible experience that I cannot recommend to anyone. We then left the restaurant and won't be coming back.

Ate very tasty (homemade ravioli with porcini mushrooms and walnuts, filled with spinach and mozzarella, with a cream sauce), I couldn't stop eating the dessert (tiramisu, pana cota and almond parfait) ... so delicious 😋, I'll be happy to come back. The terrace will certainly be very nice in summer.

Very good trattoria with excellent authentic Italian food. Excellent value for money.

Good food but the service was a bit slow and certainly could be better

A nice restaurant with very tasty food. Friendly service and really good prices!

You don't have to expect much when it comes to food. But it's also rather cheap in terms of price. The service is not very ambitious. The atmosphere is cozy, it's nice to sit inside and outside. Wine prices are fair.

Good Italian. Courteous waiters, very good and, above all, affordable food. A carpaccio for €12.50? Rare to find these days. Nice atmosphere with parking spaces in front of the door. Clear recommendation.

We were there with 7 people on New Year's Eve. The 2 menus offered for €49.50 were excellent. We thank you for the great food and service. We wish all employees and management a successful 2025.

We were very positively surprised by the delicious food and the cozy atmosphere. The staff was very friendly, but you have to take a lot of time and some additional orders (e.g. Parmesan with the pasta) were not brought. However, there was also a lot going on. We were also very surprised by the price-performance ratio. We will definitely come back.

We spent a very nice evening there. In terms of the ambience, the friendliness and the speed of the service, it is exemplary and very nice. The prices are very cheap for 2024. The portion sizes were perfectly measured. If I am back in Berlin in time, I will visit this restaurant again and I would also like to recommend it to you.

In the past, when we still lived on Hüttenweg, this restaurant was our weekly meeting place. We had a great time here every Sunday - the food, service and atmosphere were always excellent. Unfortunately, since we moved, we only make it here 3-4 times a year. We are all the more pleased that nothing has changed in terms of quality. In this day and age, it is rare for a company to consistently remain at this high level for so many years. You can feel the attention to detail and the warm leadership with every visit. Whether it's the food, the friendliness of the staff or the cleanliness - everything is perfect here. We always enjoy coming back and look forward to many more visits. A real gem that we can only recommend!

Well-attended and cozy restaurant. There is also a very pleasant outside terrace in the warm months. As neighbors, we are of course there regularly. Either to eat there or to take the delicious food away. Service employees are always friendly and accommodating. Always my pleasure.

A true jewel in the middle of the culinary landscape - the Trattoria Toscana takes its guests on a tasteful journey through idyllic Tuscany and enchants with an atmosphere that is both warm and unobtrusively charming. As soon as you enter the restaurant you are greeted by the warm, inviting atmosphere. The smell of freshly baked bread and aromatic herbs immediately hits your nose and makes you look forward to the meal immeasurably. The selection on the menu is a delight for all lovers of Italian cuisine: classics are combined here with a refreshing modern touch. The antipasti starters are a poem. The main course was an absolute highlight. The pasta was al dente and perfectly seasoned. The flavors unite in a harmony that you won't quickly forget. Every bite a little piece of heaven. A dessert rounded off the experience perfectly. It was incredibly flavorful, a perfect end to an exceptional meal. The service at Trattoria Toscana is another highlight: extremely friendly, attentive and always with a smile on their faces. You can tell that there is not only professionalism at play here, but also passion for gastronomy. The staff's recommendations were always accurate and helped you enjoy each dish even more. Overall, Trattoria Toscana offers an all-round experience that touches both the palate and the heart. Here we cook with love, serve with passion and create an atmosphere that makes your stay an unforgettable experience. If you are looking for authentic Italian cuisine in a perfect ambience, you definitely shouldn't miss this place. A real insider tip for connoisseurs – 5 stars are more than deserved here!

Very friendly and fast service, but also a good interval between starter and main course. It was nice and warm in the winter garden and a little quieter than in the building. Otherwise still very good value for money.

Very good Italian ambience very appealing Food was very good also very nice for the birthday child Ice cream with Fontane on the house. Price performance very good all in all highly recommended

A nice restaurant, unfortunately the waiter didn't try hard and wasn't attentive. He neither asked us to use his high chair nor did he ask how the food tasted. After we weren't noticed at all and had finished eating 15 minutes ago, we dressed our children. The waiter didn't notice this either. We then paid on the way out. Neither a word of thank you or have a nice day, nothing like that. That's not how you treat your guests, we were there last time.

(Edited because I incorrectly reviewed the wrong restaurant; I apologize for my mistake) We visited this restaurant for a family birthday in July. The service was very attentive, the food was very well prepared and tasted great, and the restaurant atmosphere was delightful. I had a lovely time and would recommend this restaurant.

Ein ehrliches und authentisches italienisches Restaurant, wo hinter der Bar gern mal ein italienisches Lied angestimmt wird :)

Very friendly service, pizza very well topped, reasonably priced lunch.

We tried both the pizza and pasta, and they were absolutely delicious! This is undoubtedly some of the best Italian food I've had in Berlin at this price point. The staff were warm, welcoming, and full of energy. Highly recommended!

It was our first time eating here. A friendly welcome when you arrive. It is very cozy and well attended. I had a bit of bad luck with the roast venison. But the chef isn't there. Our service was great. You could joke and laugh. It was a successful evening.
