Mama Maria's is a phenomenal place. A true gem in Berlin! 6/5 stars. You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and the owners are very attentive and charismatic! (sometimes, you might even see Mama Maria, a true Italian mama, preparing everything). The focaccia is their specialty, but the coffee and croissants are fabulous too (best croissants I've had outside of France, hands down). I engaged in conversation with the owner (mama Maria's son) and he explained me the care they have in choosing their suppliers and ingredients. If they cannot find something that meet their standards, they won't settle for lower quality produce. Can't wait to go back!

Wow, I've only been once but I'm glad I finally got to try this place out. You just can't beat a proper Italian run place for quality and traditional Italian comfort food. Popped in recently to try what they had on offer and went for the Mortadella Foccacia and it was gorgeous! The Mortadella melted in the mouth in the most beautiful way. It was so light and tasty. The Foccacia bread itself was golden, soft yet crunchy. Coated in a buttered garlic pesto. Has really set the bar in Berlin and definitely the best Foccacia I've ever had. Also went for a espresso and some biscotti and both were lovely. Price was fantastic, service was fast and friendly even with my hesitant way of ordering. I cannot wait to come back and try one of the daily pasta dishes or sandwiches that they offer.

The focaccia is really delicious; I haven’t tried anything else. They could actually have more different options of focaccia when I went there were four different combinations. The guy who serves is really friendly and polite. He speaks Italian, English and German as well. When I am again in the neighborhood I will definitely try their coffee and the other foods they have.

Every time I hear Berliners complain that there's "no good food" in this city, or that the food is bland, or "cooked without love", I always feel like I'm somehow visiting or living in a different city than them. If you're willing to look, and try small spots you'd otherwise maybe walk past, you'll stumble across some of the most stunning and wholesome dining experiences you'll have in any major city. The perfect embodiment of this exact phenomenon is Mama Maria's. How can you claim a mother's cooking, so beloved by her son that he quit his otherwise lucrative officr job and shifted to running a small Cafe with her, isn't an operation bursting at the seams with passion and love?!! The food itself couldn't be more delicious. It's clearly a passionate endeavor, done by a skillful cook. The service is so genuine and kind you might even mistake it as something of a show - when in reality, this is an operation fueled by the immense pride and passion, which can't help but be expressed joyfully. Genuinely, this place exceeds all expectations.

Very tasty pizza and with affordable prices! I liked that the dough was a bit more fluffy but crispy on the edges. The service was friendly as well.

Found Mama Maria's while wandering around looking for a used bike to buy. An excellent find. The pizza/foccacia was really good, everything freshly made. The bread was the best; nice, tasty, light and airy. The service was great. Authentic Italian.

Very kind staff, truffle focaccia is great! Try this place …

Ich liebe dieses Service! Eine der wenigen Läden, wo man mit Respekt und Freude wahrgenommen wird und zugleich relativ wenig zahlt!

Leckere cornetti mit Creme oder sacottini mit Schokolade Füllung 🤤kann man wie in Italien mit einem guten Café genießen! Die Focaccias schmecken auch gut! Pasta Gerichte habe ich noch nicht probiert, aber werde es bald tun! Fämiliarische und sehr nette Atmosphäre! Zu empfehlen 👌😉

This is my happy place and the reason I’m looking forward to my lunch break. Whatever you pick, you just can’t go wrong cause it’s not some mediocre restaurant food but a fresh homemade delight. My favorites are spicy salami focaccia and truffle pasta: the portion is huge and the creamy sause is just delicious. All the workers and especially Francesco are always friendly and helpful which instantly puts a smile on your face right as you enter, I went there more than 10 times already and there was never an exception, even when it’s crowded and things get stressful.

Just get the pasta of the day, everyday. The absolute best Italian pasta in Berlin I have had. Focaccia is also very, very good.

Ich liebe dieses kleine aber sehr wundervolle und authentische Bistro. Meines Erachtens gibt es in ganz Berlin keinen italienischeren Ort als diesen. Das Personal spricht überwiegend Italienisch miteinander und auch nicht sehr gut Deutsch, was es noch authentischer macht. Und alle sind super lieb. Die Focaccia sind immer lecker, aber unbedingt auch nach dem Mittagsangebot fragen. Tipp: Bargeld mitbringen, keine Kartenzahlung möglich. Ansonsten ist der nächste Sparkassen-Geldautomat ein paar hundert Meter weiter. WC vorhanden.

Sehr freundlicher Service und die Nudeln waren super. 🇮🇹🍝

Great food, affordable prices, nice staff

Original sizilianische Pasta und Pizza, sehr empfehlenswert! Es gibt jeden Tag ein wechselndes Tagesgericht, einschließlich einer fleischlosen Variante. Service immer mit einem Lächeln! Vielleicht der beste Kaffee im Viertel.

Excellent Italian pasta! Light, not too heavy. They have a very limited menu, but focus on delivering top-quality with friendly service. Worth going to!

Absolutely fantastic! Masterful service, excellent food, and smooth espresso! A must try (again and again) if you’re in Berlin.

Amazing place. Food had an authentic taste, prepared with high quality ingredients. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommend and would definitely will be becoming often.

Best place for a pasta in Berlin. The Spaghetti a la Carbonara is simply amazing, can’t stop eating here

I could easily say that it is the best focaccia in the whole city of Berlin. The pastries and sweets are handmade. If you like an authentic Italian place, you have to eat and taste everything they make.

This is my destination when I crave some real foccacia! A true Italian place with great coffee, daily choice of foccacia and pasta, and their sandwiches are so tasty if you want to grab a bite to go. Service is very friendly here, a lovely place for a coffee, breakfast and lunch!

Super nice focaccias, coffee, and very friendly service!

Just amazing experience. Small restaurant, short menu. Very assertive. The food is extremely delicious. The place is cozy and clean. And a huge difference in the region cause the service is excellent. Was the first place that I felt good in Berlin. The others were not nice at all.

Good authentic Italian cuisine. Fresh and tasty focaccia, daily pastas. Coffee tastes awesome too all for a reasonable price. Service is soo friendly and respectful. A real gem for the neighborhood!

Always so welcoming, every time you step in this place, you feel like you are visiting your Italian family! Wonderful, fresh, soulful food! I’d bring any friend and family member here, just to be sure they feel at home, in Berlin. 🧡🧡

Quality is still good but unfortunately prices have been going up, I hope at least the quality stays.

I am lucky that i moved lately near by Mama Maria's, it always gives the home feeling when a family is working in the same place. Strongly recommended ❤️🇮🇹

Five stars from the first bite.

Very nice pasta. Staff very friendly and explains the dish of the day in great detail.

JUST walked past after many months of living here and treated myself to a Tiramisu - this is just one of the nicest I’ve had. And the people there?! Just so sweet! Can’t wait to go back and make this my weekly pick-me-up spot. So much genuine love in the food and ambiance here.
