Always great food. I know the pizzas are amazing here but I always have to go for one of the pasta daily specials, so good! Same story as its sister restaurants in pberg & fhain.

Originally known and popularized by its rude staff, it seems they've straightened up a lot the last couple of years. Food is great as ever though, the quattro formaggio is amazing.

Best Italian pizza in the hood. True Italians work here, so don't expect great service. But if you love great food, have a seat and just enjoy the fantastic ambience.

Come early and the waiters don’t want you to leave, but don’t try to order a pizza outside after 9pm! ;) Whatever the mood of the waiters - it’s WORTH it. Fantastic non Neapolitan/‚classic’ pizzas.

This is an Italian shop run by Italians. Incredibly hectic and service is two centuries behind, but the pizza is amazing and so are the prices. Do your own cost-benefit analysis.

Love this place! Pizzas are bigger than the plate ... always a good start. Pretty much all staff seemed to be Italian. Pasta is super tasty. Beer is cheap, wine even cheaper. Simply can't fault it!
SerhanSeptember 20, 2016
service is really so quick, you need to make reservation if you will go at evening hours, you can find table in day time, you can choose and try any of pizzas blindfolded 🙃🍕

I know, pizza in Berlin?! You might have a craving--and if you do, sit outside at this waterfront spot and enjoy fantastic pies and beer. Then walk it off along the canal.
Marie LindegaardAugust 8, 2017
This is the best pizza place outside of Italy! We had the 4 formaggio and a buffalina both outstandingly good! Thin crust and lots of flavor😍 worth the wait!
Matthias KannegiesserJanuary 10, 2018
Long history, old writings from the good old punk days on the walls, service famous for being rude, pizza to die for. Love this loud and great place
Marc PérezApril 28, 2015
Very good, thin pizza and beautiful view of the canal. Service fairly quick considering how crowded it usually is. Great for all occasions. Lovely during summertime.
Anette Kvaksrud HansenJune 23, 2013
Berlin pizza institution! Despite the grumpy waiters and long waits, this place is one of the very best. I love the pizza called Incredible with walnuts and bresaola - so yummy!
Carolina GainottiJanuary 3, 2016
Pizza is really good and the place is an authentic Italian restaurant. Be sure to arrive early or to book in advance as it's always overcrowded
Paul BergerAugust 28, 2017
Great pizza! Cool staff. Perfect location for the 'Berlin Kreuzberg Feeling'. Not fancy, but rough and charming. Tiramisu average. Coffee so so, but Pizza DELICIOUS!
Sven De SchutterJuly 11, 2013
Very good pizza! The place was crowded but we managed to get a nice place on the terrace. Had to wait for about 45 minutes, that was ok and normal I guess.Preparing ur own salad is normal in Italy!

Good Pizza. Not a big pasta choice. A lot of vegetarian pizza. Nice place to sit outside in the summer, near the river.
Jussi VirtaJune 7, 2015
Jar of wine and great, authentic pizza. Dont go there too late, as its usually full + waiting time approx 1hour. goes quickly qith some wine though!

At this canal-side Kreuzberg institution, service ranges from slightly negligent to flamboyantly hostile, and you’ll never wait less than 45 minutes. But hang in there and you won’t regret it. Read more

Very very good pizza spot - Take a pie to go and eat it on Admiralbrücke with a Späti beer in the summer
Tarik HartJanuary 15, 2015
Can't go wrong with any of the pizzas. I kept it simple and got the Salamino (pepperoni).

Great Pizza. Just ignore the unfriedliest service ever - they're kinda famous for it. Also great outdoor seating in summer.

Great pizza 🍕. If you want a seat outside you need to just take it. Survival of the fittest style
Carly Van LiereApril 23, 2017
Best pizza I've ever had. Mozzarella di bufalo and the Campanola were both incredible.

if you are vegeterian and can't decide what to take. pizza estiva is the best! and all their deserts rocks!
Joanna GubmanApril 30, 2012
The pizza is delicious, but the waiters can be a bit fussy (understandable, it's busy), there are few non-pizza options (no salad!!), and when I opened up my leftovers I found someone else's pizza :-(
Carola BieniekJanuary 4, 2014
Great Italian atmosphere. The pizza is not as good as I had been told. The panna cotta on the other hand is to die for.
Swaní MagaskaMay 26, 2013
Get them to translate the daily menu for you if you don't speak Italian. You will love the starters & desserts especially!!
Tim de GierMay 17, 2013
This place is in every travelguide, but it's so big that it's still a good restaurant. They serve cheap wine and nice pizza's.
Nofar CohenOctober 22, 2014
Probably the best Italian restaurant in Berlin. Try the vegetariana pizza and a jar of wine to get things going :-)
FrancisSeptember 17, 2014
Great Italian food, huge terrace, very often very packed, waiters can be a bit bitchy from time to time.
Samira JoviSeptember 25, 2015
Buffalo cheese is perfect. Tiramisu was very delicious and the 4 cheese pizza is one of best option.
Mudit AmetaJanuary 22, 2017
Italian noisy vibes, good large pizzas and ok bier. Best for big groups. Get the Texana or Buffalina.
Sarah MaddenJanuary 20, 2018
Actually disappointed with here! Had heard so many good things and in the end the pizza was just average - and overpriced for Berlin. A lot of other cheaper places are much nicer! Also too noisy
Sven KräuterMay 24, 2012
great italian pizza. don't get disappointed by the other dishes - it's not a trattoria. oh and don't come hungry but bring some time to chill & talk.

Absolutely one of the crappiest service in Berlin, but the really spicy chili oil compensates a bit.
Jonas KinetJanuary 16, 2015
It's mostly packed, service is arrogant and a salad consists of a bunch of vegetables and a knife for you to cut it up. But it's cheap. I guess it's what people love about Berlin.
i.am. a.June 28, 2015
Great great pizza!!! Love this places even though really crowded on Friday and Saturday night.
Yoav MNovember 15, 2013
Great pizza, takes some time tho and menu strictly in German & Italian. Worth it still!
Ana ValentimMay 27, 2018
Busy, service takes some time but the pizzas are good for Berlin standards.
Rachel OrangeJune 8, 2018
Pizza is delicious and awesome outside area!
Pawel CMay 16, 2015
Amazing pizza. Always busy, long waiting times, but oh so worth it.
Gabriel EscalonaOctober 25, 2013
Love-it-or-hate-it-type of restaurant. Love the food, hate the service....
NadiaDecember 28, 2012
Super nice owners, amazing pizza! Make sure to have a reservation, the place is always packed.
Aminta RotherMay 16, 2015
Some of the best pasta and pizza in town. Avoid Fridays if you're not into fish.
Spiros KukidisDecember 29, 2014
Great pizza. No problem with the service. Great panacotta and tiramisu.
Karin GattringerAugust 14, 2022
Great pizza, entertaining service.
Debbie DaviesAugust 17, 2014
Nice place near the canal for an outdoor meal. Save the paper placemat as a souvenir.
Zeynep D.April 20, 2014
il casolare can conquer the world with their holy pizza!
MayuDecember 7, 2014
Good pizza. Rough service but you would feel "Italian" wind. Very crowded at weekend late night....
Bianca PericoloMay 2, 2013
The pizza is probably delicious but I didn't have to chance to prove it. Arrive before 20:30 or you'll be kicked out of the restaurant. Not a nice place at all.
