What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Genusswerkstatt Potsdam is praised for its delicious homemade pasta, elevated Italian dishes, and excellent service. Diners frequently highlight the cozy ambiance and friendly staff, making it a great spot for special occasions.

"Totally random stop, but super happy I walked in. Cozy little place with a chill vibe and really friendly staff. I wasn’t expecting much, but turns out they serve gluten-free pasta – either penne or spaghetti – and they’ve got a bunch of sauces and combos to choose from. It’s not a dedicated gluten-free spot, but they seem to take it seriously and my food came out without any issues."

"The place is nice and cozy. Just a treat after the museum. Their specialty is Italian food. The food is fine, i tried Aglio e Olio Pasta, it was fine. I can come back here for a special occasion, but not a place I'll visit continuously. The prices are a bit high to be pasta, but overall is ok."
Alessandro Stefan
"First! The best staff! So sweet and service minded!
The food was very good. We hade the carpaccio as a starter- very good! It was a lot! My partner had veal liver-pdta and loved it. My ravioli with goatcheese cream was slightly over cooked, a little minus, but the rest was very nice!"
