The La Buca in Berlin Steglitz is a real intuition – already in my youth I was there before and after the visit of the Pop Inn – at that time the only disco in Steglitz – to get hold of one of the cheap and at the same time delicious mini pizzas.

The restaurant is located in the Sous Terrain – after descending the few steps you are right in front of the pizza oven and can quickly order something to take away. This pizza oven has been in use for many years and that makes the difference in taste – a new oven can never come up with such good flavours.

To the right hand, there is the first of two guest rooms, authentically and functionally furnished, so that nothing can distract from the delicious Italian food. In good weather, La Buca also has some tables right in front of the restaurant.

The atmosphere is inviting and La Buca is part of the Slow Food ideology – so every visit becomes a culinary pleasure without hurry, what more could you want?

Flavio, the boss and the good soul of La Buca, as well as his team always come up with new culinary highlights – so it’s always worth looking at the menu of the day or asking the waiter!  Especially with creative starters and desserts, we have often been surprised over the years.

The delicious beers of the Engel brewery are especially worth mentioning at La Buca – a good choice. I would also like to see the Engel “Radler” here – this is also very tasty.

The website of La Buca is appealing – but unfortunately not responsive, so that one can navigate on the smartphone only very laboriously – here there is need for action.

To our regret La Buca is closed on Sundays – but OK, at some point the employees have to have time for themselves and their family.

A clear recommendation from me to visit La Buca – here they still cook Italian and focus on food and drinks – as it should be.
