Located near Checkpoint Charlie in the center of Berlin, this very, very small but lovely little Italian restaurant makes amazing, authentic food. If you know a little German it will help you here. If you are a local or can get a reservation, that also would help. Otherwise it might be packed. We got the last table available when we came in. We had the Calamari Fritto app special, which was one of the all time best calamari we've ever had anywhere. We also had the Spaghetti con Gamberetti, which was excellent but could use more aggressive seasoning. People in Germany clearly don't like a lot of seasoning. I had the Penne con manzo e funghi stagionali, which was truly excellent. All the pasta was fresh, all the flavors authentic and appreciated. The only thing weird at all Italian restaurants is this spread they give you which I can only describe as sour cream and chives potato chip dip. I don't get it, but whatever. It's not like you get charged for it. Anyway, if you're in Berlin, put this place on your must try list and go!

Fine Italian dining at its best! And yes, in Berlin…read more I enjoyed a late lunch here. I had walked past the restaurant on numerous occasions in the evenings when it is rather crowded. They offer seating both outdoors and indoors. I opted to dine outdoors. Nice atmosphere. The waiter spoke German, Italian, and English. He was professional and efficient. Complimentary warm, fresh bread and olives were served first. I ordered a Latte Macchiato and the Spaghetti Aglio Olio. The spaghetti was perfectly cooked, al dente. It was simple, not loaded with many ingredients, just garlic, roasted red peppers, Parmesan, and olive oil. Delicious. Reminiscing makes my mouth water. It was a pleasant expensive.

Located just down the street from the Brandonburg Gate, this restaurant is easily accessible. They have nice interior seating Plus, they have a very large patio with a lot of tables. What this restaurant offers is, as mentioned, a traditional Italian cuisine. From this, you have a lot of choices: pasta, pizza, and the like. They also have a full bar, plus a good selection of wine, and beer. Plus, all of the expected soft drinks. The food here is prepared fairly well. There's really nothing to complain about in terms of the overall presentation and/or flavor. On a lighter note, our server seem to be pretty grumpy the last time we were there. More than once he would step away from his tables and move out into the front of the restaurant to have a smoke. Then, he would reluctantly come back to take care of his duties. But, nonetheless, he got his job done. Overall, if you want some pretty good Italian food in Berlin, this may be the place for you

We were looking for something non-German, quaint, and in a less busy neighborhood, yet somewhere cozy that had great food, good service, and a nice atmosphere. I think this place fit the bill nicely! It was a nice night out and many people showed up to the restaurant wanting an outdoor table, so the employees took almost all of the tables out to the sidewalk to appease everyone. My wife and I stayed inside, though. The proprietors were super helpful. The menu and specials were all in German and they translated everything for us without a fuss. As we came to experience in Berlin, service in general is just slower than in the US. But this was the only place we ate where they acknowledged and apologized for the wait, which was nice. The food was freshly prepared and we agreed our entrees and appetizer were great. If they are serving it, I'd recommend the spaghetti with lemon cream sauce and tiger shrimp.

We started with the anti pasta and it was great! Fresh cheese and salami and prosciutto and in season veggies! Absolutely perfect. I ordered the carbonara...I usually never order creamy pasta but this carbonara is off the charts. It's traditional, the pasta was cooked perfectly with the egg and prosciutto. It wasn't too heavy or creamy because they didn't have to add cream because the egg did it for them. I don't think I've had carbonara better! I highly recommend it!! My friend ordered the spinach ravioli and she is Italian and very particular about pasta and she was also in heaven. The pasta was fresh the dough was light and the spinach just made the ravioli a delight. Overall a great atmosphere, good service and great find. If you're in Berlin and you're craving great Italian food this is the place to go. I wish I lived closer because i would become a regular.
