We ate there this evening and despite being heavily booked, they fitted us in and we were served quickly. The food is still very good - the salads are exactly as I remember them, though this time we had pizza (Vegetaria) and pasta (Lucia - chicken & mushrooms in a creamy sauce) as mains. With the starter salads and a beer each, the bill came to just under €40 before the tip.

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.

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.

Short version: Awesome place, really good pizza, friendly…read moreservice, a little bit more expensive than other places in Berlin but worth it - go there! Long version: First off let me say that those of you who adore a late night bite of a greasy, thick crust, topping overloaded and cheap pizza after a very heavy night out will NOT LIKE THIS PLACE so save your money and go to Pizza Hut or something along those lines (no offence to Pizza Hut). On the other hand, if you are one of those people who don't see pizza as a quick take away tummy filler, this is the place to go. I've had a go at 4 different types (Pear Gorgonzola, Parma, spicy salami and Margherita) and all of them were absolutely delicious. A super thin, crispy crust (notably also in the middle of the pizza, unlike the soggy dough you get in some other places), very high quality topping of which there is neither too little nor too much. I need to emphasize the "not too much" part of this as the most outstanding thing to me about the pizze here was that they are not systematically drowned in tomato sauce and (analog?) cheese but the ingredients are in fact wisely proportioned and of the highest quality. You can actively taste that bit of cheese with the bit of tomato forming a symphony of flavours together with the rest of the pizza. Imagine that! Often it's just "dough, cheese, tomato and now let's guess what else is on there". Oh, and the pear and gorgonzola pizza doesn't even have any tomato sauce on it cause it wouldn't fit with the rest. Someone actually thought a little bit about what they were cooking here, which is always an advantage;) If you like Rocket Salad on your Pizza, you get a big bunch of it for free. Another perk of this place is that they use different flour types for their dough. We all had the spelt flour ("Dinkel") which tasted fantastic. Of course, there is standard wheat, but if you fancy a more alternative diet I believe there are gluten free choices as well. I would love to have some whole grain flour added to the selection someday. Regarding the price, it's definately not the cheapest (especially in Berlin!) but given that this is not really the place where you go to buy 20 pizze for your birthday party where people just wanna eat so they can drink more it's absolutely feasible. A 30cm pizza costs between 6,50 and 8,50 Euros if I remember correctly. Given the quality of the food I think it is worth every cent. Did I mention the design of the restaurant is really cool? It's very small though so I don't recommend showing up with a group much larger than 4 without making reservations. All in all, worth the experience. I won't be eating pizza anywhere else if I have the choice.

This place has a huge restaurant inside which is very nice and was so packed the night we came we were lucky to get a table. It was way cheaper than we actually thought both pasta and pizza were under 7 Euro each which for the size of the portion was very good. My only complaint is i wasn't overly impressed with my pasta but then it's just pasta? Bf got a pizza which tasted nice and i wish I'd got the same lol! The waitress was lovely and friendly and she interacted with everyone. Our meal came quick for it being really packed and i think in total the bill came to 20 Euro which was very reasonable. It's maybe not a MUST go to place in Berlin but if you're shopping on the ku'damm and want something a little more reasonable priced then definitely give this place a try!
