Il Casolare

Il Casolare is an Italian trattoria and wood-fired pizzeria at Grimmstrasse 30 in Kreuzberg, Berlin, on the bank of the Landwehrkanal a short walk from the Admiralbrucke. The kitchen produces thin-crust pizzas from a wood-fired oven alongside a pasta menu and house tiramisu, with Italian wine served by the carafe. The canalside terrace is used for outdoor dining in the warmer months and accounts for much of the restaurant's popularity in Kreuzberg. It opens daily from midday to midnight and sits in the middle price range. Recent reviews describe long waits and inconsistent service on busy weekend evenings alongside continued praise for the pizza, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is advisable for a weekend table outside. The nearest station is Schonleinstrasse on U-Bahn line U8, close to the Admiralbrucke crossing, with Kottbusser Tor on lines U1 and U8 also within walking distance.
