It was hidden by a bowling alley, an Argentine Steak House with a very long line of customers and a small shopping center. Because my group drove to this location, there was plenty of free, public parking on their property. This place is way outside Berlin. My group, minus our vegetarian was looking at that Argentine Steak House first. But they had a very long line of customers and a very long line. By chance, we happened to see "the other" restaraunt. While not our original choice, it proved to be a GREAT CHOICE! We had the privilege and honor of dining at great restaraunt.... my own little hidden diamond in Germany. Da Michelino has table upstairs and downstairs, candles, clean white linen table cloths and napkins. Their silverware was clean and appeared to be polished. They had Italian music overhead from pop, folk and opera. I believe my meal was served to Luciano Pavarotti.... "Malinconia." That's pretty powerful for a meal ;) he he he We had a waiter, a server and the chef came out and talked with us. The owner of the restaraunt was tending bar and seeing to customers. This says..... I care about my restaraunt and my customers. I care about what my chefs will cook. I asked for Ginger Ale, and they brought me a bottle of Schweppes Ginger Ale! Real Ginger Ale, not some Sprite mixed with Coca Cola which alot of German restaraunts do thinking I won't know the difference. Ginger Ale is not popular in Germany as compared to other carbonated drinks. Everyone enjoyed their meals immensely. The fragrant aromas made you want to eat everyone elses food. Spaghetti Bambino, Salata Tonno Grana, Quattro Formaggio Pizza, Filet Griglia, Filet Michellino, Saltimbocca Romana. All of this plus wine, soda, spezi and Apfelschorle.... some German apple drink.... 74.40 EUROS / $ 91.67 USD For 6 people eating steaks, veal, pasta, pizza and alcohol....this was a great price for this wonderful feast STAFF: Very friendly, attentive without being overbearing. Bruschetta, fresh-warm bread with butter was brought to the table at least twice. They connected my Apple I Touch to their Wi-Fi network. This was very cool. I was showing everyone where we were via Google Earth. We could see the restaraunt from the roof and the parkling lot and everything else. FOOD: Very Good!!! This place would be an easy favorite for me. I can't travel to Brandenburg all of the time.... but for this place, it would be worth it. Filet Michellino is a New York Strip Steak with mushrooms, garlic and a savory sauce. I had a plate of plain Rigatoni with lite olive oil.... so I could enjoy the steak and have a pure palate. My steak was grilled just right. It was tender, easy to cut. It was cooked well, pink in the middle. Flavors were balanced, nothing over powering. It WAS NOT a steak that had meat tenderizer / or some other chemical that breaks meat down as to hide that it sucks / that it's as tough as an old leather boot. Some places that I have been to do this and think that some people won't know that they either kept their meat too long..... past expiration dates / safe to consume dates and / or that they bought very tough low quality, cheap priced meat..... emphasis on cheap. Just in case you're wondering.... you could have a romantic date here. It's quiet, non distracting, not a tourist trap corporate chain place. You could take a group of people here as well. I would recommend this place. If you reserve ahead, choose some wines in advance that reflect your tastes, your moods. I'm sure that whatever your occasion is you will be happily suprised and grateful as I am. Ciao Amici!!!! KEPI Kapa'a, Hawai'i

So if you're in the mood for fast food italian, this would be a really good choice. The best part, they can make any sauce for you, even if it's not in the menu. I recommend visiting in the summer, when they have outdoor seating. Otherwise, you could request for delivery, only in the winter though.

Their wines are excellent and I am also a fan of their pasta´s with vongole. They also have a shop where you can buy all sort of high quality Italian products and anti-pasta. We often buy here ciabatta and other stuff for breakfast on Sunday mornings. The waiters are friendly but perhaps a little macho and arrogant but this does not bother me too much. It is a bit expensive and you can find the same type of restaurant in the city of Berlin at better prices. I recommend it for this area.

However, the bread was plain, the house salad was warm (yet diverse in ingredients) and the dressing was not flavorful, the pork with mushrooms & peppercorn was salty (but generous and perfectly cooked with lots of mushrooms), the sole was not flavorful (yet well cooked and tender). I will likely return but for an Italian food is an urban German city, it was better than ok but not perfect.
