La moka

Why go to Italy, if you can enjoy authentic, high-quality Italian food in Dresden. Everything from the attentive and friendly service, the cosy, candle-light atmosphere, to the superb food was perfection. The restaurant itself is a bit hidden, off the beaten track of Neustadt’s party streets, which adds even more to the intimate and cosy feel. The food is made with love and expertise. The staff there definitely know a thing or two about how to bring out the best flavours in a dish. I can confidently put this restaurant as one of my favourites in Dresden on my list.

I came twice to La Moka on the same day. Breakfast/brunch is delicious and dinner even topped our high expectations. A lot of homemade stuff, you can definitely feel the quality of the food. The coffee is unbeatable! The owners are very nice people and the atmosphere is the best too. 6 stars!

This is my favorite restaurant in the neustadt. Different menu every day, always something new to try. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere relaxed and authentic. I always get the fish option, the chef has great taste in seafood. They are also happy to knock up a plate of simple pasta if you have kids with you. Highly recommended.

La Moka has a nice setting in the courtyard, and it's a real improvement over the former establishment, Neustadter Diechl. I took my family and in-laws here expecting to treat them to something out of the ordinary. The serving staff were welcoming and friendly. The starters were quite good and well-priced, but the mains were really sub-par. It was the first time I've sent food back to the kitchen in years, as did most of our table and two of the tables around us. 24€ tuna steaks flavourless and cooked until dry and gray. Entrecote which was definitely not Entrecote cooked dead and completely unseasoned, chanterelles with a painful amount of salt. The manager tried to smooth things over, but was overtly intoxicated and reeked of cigarettes. Our server, who I tried to reassure had nonetheless been helpful and welcoming, told me it was our fault the kitchen had had such a terrible night, which was pretty unprofessional. I ended up paying for food that was was sent back and didn't return. Long story short, go for a nice aperitivo and a starter, forget the main dishes. If you want consistently good italian fare, go with Sapori around the corner, I've also heard Casina Rosa on Alaunstr. is quite good.

By far one of the best restaraunts in Dresden. The food and service are always exceptional, for both brunch and dinner.
The atmosphere is extremely cozy and the owner is always around working with the staff to ensure all of the customers are happy. You can tell a lot of time and care go into everything. This is what every restaraunt should aspire to be.

The espresso was amazing and the owner offered us a delicious cornetto. Great place with very cozy ambiance!

Cozy little restaurant in a courtyard, run by an Italian gentlemen.
This place has a great, warm and homely vibe to it.
The menu is small and apparently is changed every few weeks. It includes some vegetarian dishes.
The food we ordered was excellent both in taste and presentation – a cold plate for two people (olives, mozarella, sun-dried tomatoes, pickled onions, mushrooms, pumpkin mash and various other small bowls of tasty food. Together with a couple of glasses of Montepulciano and followed by a dessert of cheesecake with blueberries, this was a perfect light dinner in a great, warm and convivial atmosphere on a chill Dresden evening.
Note: this is a small place – perhaps seating around twenty people.. For warmer evenings they also have outdoor seating.
