    Just a stones throw from what is described as Berlin's Champs Élysées we found Ali Baba's. Apparently this is where Michael Fassbender goes for pizza when in Berlin and what a good choice he makes. The staff were friendly and very quick and our food, cooked fresh, was with us in mere minutes. There is a huge selection on the menu, in both German and English, and a great choice of meat free meals for any veggies in your life. The pizzas were gorgeous, thin and crisp bases with generous toppings. For what you get its all incredibly inexpensive, especially pally considering you're so close to the designer shops. We paid about 6 euro a pizza and 3-4 a beer. The whole place has a great atmosphere. The walls are covered in old French posters and if you're sitting in the right place, you can even watch your meal being cooked. There's an outside area too and in the summer all the doors are thrown open so even if you're inside, you won't quite books to death. A fantastic find. Recommended to all!

    Didn't have much time to look for a place to eat, so I chose the nearby one. Ordered pizza with spinach and Gorgonzola, it was ok, but nothing spectacular. The most enjoyable of it was my Erdinger weissbier I guess. Worth to mention - this place is quite inexpensive, considering the proximity to posh Ku'damm.

    Diablo pizza. Not as hot as advertised.

    We accidentally walked by this place after jumping off the Ubahn and couldn't resist trying it since it had a completely packed outdoor seating area. Since we were traveling in Europe and had no internet, we had to go old school and find restaurants without Yelp. It's funny with places like this because as an American couple, if there's no individual free-standing 2-top for you to sit at, you will stand and wait patiently for a table to open up. I loved that in Germany, community tables is what it's all about. We grabbed the last seats to be found at a 4-top with another German couple who were half way through their meal. I ordered the Seafood Pasta which was cooked perfectly aldente with just the right amount of sauce. The baby shrimps in the pasta were a little undercooked for my liking--they weren't even pink-- but many people prefer it that way. The calamari was chewy but not over cooked. The tiny clams were also delicious. Not sure if they were all fresh ingredients, but they tasted good enough for me. With a name like Ali Baba, I'm still not quite sure why their Italian food is so damn good. F's pizza was actually quite tasty too. It came Italian style, uncut, with nicely spaced toppings. They called it Diablo Pizza and had 2 spicy indicators next to it, the waitress even warned him that it was very very spicy. Apparently the Germans don't eat much spicy food, the salami was kiiiinda spicy and it had pickled jalapeno's on it, but it wasn't HOT. It was awesome watching the guy throw the dough before loading it into the oven, nothing like fresh baked pizza dough.

    Great price and decent food.Staff is friendly and whole place has nice athmosphere(dark woden tables and chairs,art posters on wall).If you order pizza,I would reccomend to order regular pizza,not family size.I had both,regular one was great,other time we ordered family size to share,but they propably use same ammount of dough just stretch it more,which end up paper thin,soaked in juices from toppings,impossible to pick it up.However,still it was tasty.Dog friendly place,last time there was even two :-D

    Didn't think the pizza and pasta were very good. Kind of mediocre, so I'm not sure why such high reviews for this place.

    The food is cheap and tasty, but the service is not always friendly.

    Arrived in town and my coworkers wanted Italian. Found this restaurant on Yelp within walking…read moredistance of our hotel and gave it a shot. Busy on a Sunday night which is a good sign. Cozy dining room and outside seating, but too cold to sit outside on this night. Server was good. Menus in German and English. Complimentary bread and oil. Standard bread service but three different types of bread was nice. Burrata and calamari appetizers were good. Burrata was the better of the two. The calamari was nothing special. Tomato soup was excellent. All of the pasta dishes were fresh, hot, and delicious. My truffle pasta was very good. Creamy, hot, and the fresh truffles were excellent. Coworkers loved their spaghetti bolognese and carbonara. And of course, the beer was refreshing :-)

    My final Italian meal in Germany was this very popular joint I stumbled upon on Yelp! Located in a…read moresection of Berlin populated with rows of restaurants, this place is happening right now for locals. We went without a reservation and that was a big mistake. Luckily they found one small table for the three of us, but otherwise, the inside and outside dining was overflowing. They also speak little to no English so hopefully you speak German. I think we only go the table because the maitre'd figured giving us a table was easier than trying to figure out what I was saying. Haha! While not as amazing as the two other places I reviewed in Berlin that were also Italian, it was pretty good. We ordered the margherita pizza to start and it tasted good. Sadly it asked for it crispy or well done and they couldn't understand so it was not undercooked but pale as heck. The carbonara was okay but had cream - a big no, no - and was too heavy to finish. The chicken verde (a green peppercorn sauce) was very good and I would highly recommend it. The spaghetti bolognese was pretty good but not as good as other places we tried in Berlin. Still, I would recommend trying this place. Just make sure you have a reservation!

    Luardi - Pizza Margherita - good but they need to let it cook longer.  Was very chewy and undercooked.  And we asked for it crispy.
