Highly recommended

A pleasant Mediterranean island in Berlin. Great staff, peaceful location, gigantic portions (even…read moreif unlikely to be fresh) with rich tastes. The real attraction of this place is the staff. I haven't checked but they come across as Italians who lived in Germany for some time, offering us a warm welcome and a professional, pleasant service throughout dinner, while speaking a combination of Italian and German (with a good command of English). Their honest recommendations and attention throughout the evening have been of the highest quality. We had two main dishes from the specials menu: (1) sea food (scallops and giant shrimps) with black pasta, covered with a rich and heavy cream. The pasta was good, but a little on the over-cooked end of the spectrum. The sea food itself was good. (2) The other dish was pasta with cheese and truffles: prepared right in front of us with much showmanship (see the photos). My friend was satisfied with the taste. The restaurant is located in the middle of what seems to be a residential area. It was practically empty. The menu is long and diverse so the likelihood of the ingredients being fresh, locally sourced daily from nearby farms fields is pretty low. The portions are massive (think US-sized) using lots of cream - which makes the experience a test for your stomach capacity, less a test for your taste buds.

Unfortunately a horrible experience. We'd previously visited Caligari once before corona last year…read moreand hadn't been since. We called the restaurant for dinner and they told us to come in 30 mins. When we arrived they told us we should still wait - which was fine, of course. After about an hour (!) they sat us down on a table and brought us wine. We placed our food orders. We were then told we couldn't be seated after all (even though we'd already ordered and were having our drinks) - without any sense of apology or awareness that it's inconvenient for us to have our dinner stopped halfway and told to leave. The waiter was extremely rude (I think the worst I've experienced in 6 years in Berlin) and argumentative rather than apologetic. I'm not sure if the management or staff has changed since last time we went there but this was a truly unpleasant experience and while I don't often review businesses, the service deserved 1-star (or less!)

Excellent homemade pasta and ravioli. I have tried both there. Very inexpensive dishes (€5-7) and…read morewith a €2 house wine it makes a perfect lunch place. The portion may be small, but they were both fairly filling. The place has a few tables in the back and 2 benches/boxes outside in the front, so the sitting places are pretty limited. You can also do take out or buy the pasta to cook at home.

The portion served was way too small for the price. Rather,…read morego to Vira Pasta on Warschauer Str which is a far better deal--6€ for a big tasty dish.

If you go here, you have to eat the fucking burrata. It's juicy, fresh and yeah, just amazing…read more As main course I had the ravioli with ricotta. That was good aswell but as I already had suspected, it didn't match up with the previous course. It's a tiny restaurang, and it feels like a great place to hang out on now and then if you live nearby. The prices are pretty moderate, as a bonus. But the service needs to cheer up a bit, tbh.
