Ok, before I start this review I have to say that the food is actually good and authentic. However,…read morethat is the only positive thing about this place. Let's talk about the food first. We ordered the pork udon and that was pretty tasty, even better than some of the udon places in California. The pork was flavorful and so was the broth. The agedashi tofu I got tasted good as well, but the portions were so tiny we literally got a cube of tofu per person. Next, my beef bowl was good too! The meat was tender and flavorful. Sigh. The restaurant itself looked so worn down. The chairs were uncomfortable, the walls were bare, and everything just looked like no one cared about it. Our server was the absolute worst part of the entire night. She was slow and when we asked what was in the twenty-five euro bento box she said "I have no idea! What do you mean?" Then we asked her politely if she could find out what was in it, and she said, "what?" By this point I was already so annoyed. When she came back she really put the cherry on top of the sundae was telling us "the bento box comes with salad, a miso soup, and rice of course!" The she gave us a bad attitude when we decided not to order it. Even worse, she hardly came to check up on us, and when I asked her for the check she looked confused again. It was just a miserable dining experience. The prices were very expensive as well. The menu didn't explain exactly what you got, and it was again so old and dirty. For the food alone, this place would have gotten four stars (even with the expensive prices,) but the service was so terrible that I could almost safely say that this was one of the worst nights of my life.

The new owners redecorated and remodeled the room. It looks nice and modern. But the noise level is unbearable and there are too many seats squeezed into this room - you literally sit back to back with other guests. The pizza is okay - not but but nothing to get too excited about either. The waiter who served us was a pushy selelr - everytime some of us chose something, he came up with something "better" or "more appropriate". No thanks, man, I know what I want and don't need anybody pushing me into stuff. Waaayy too much hard selling here. You can go there, sure. But we won't come back another time - too noisey and too standard and mainstream for us.

Actually, it was the ratings that lured us here. But it wasn't quite as "great" as some of the…read morearticles read. At first - yes, the service leaves nothing to be desired. Unobtrusive, but quick, nice and friendly. Questions were answered immediately. Ambience - unfortunately everything was already reserved inside, but there was space in the heated winter garden and in retrospect probably even the better choice. The menu is clearly arranged, in addition there is a laminated, small menu with the "recommendation". These dishes of the recommendation are on average a little more expensive. Taste: there is nothing to complain about here. Strong but well balanced. But in total rather mainstream. You miss the kick of the real Italian a bit. Do you get full? Not necessarily - at least for me three small cannelloni are not a real meal. You can't avoid ordering another little something in addition. Drinks: We had a big bottle of water with the wine. For five euros we got a rather chubby-looking blue bottle, sparkling water without any special features, and matching quite chic glasses. The wine consultation was quite ok, considering the not too abundant offer this is not surprising. The chosen Chianti was in any case reasonably priced and despite its longstanding bad reputation it was really very good. Fruity, intense, pleasant tannins. Served in wonderfully large, stylish wine glasses. Price - per dish considered reasonable, but if you want to get full you have to order something extra. Seen in this light, the attractive price is quickly doubled. A thing I really missed - there is NO PORK on the menue!

One of our favorite Italian restaurants outside of Italy. Seriously…read more It's not very near to where we live, but worth the travel to get there (maybe 30-45 minutes by S- and U-Bahns). Always friendly, kind service. Generally quiet-but-not-too-quiet atmosphere, and you're not too close to the other tables. (Something you really notice in more packed restaurants.) We often like to just get the same thing (truffle on pasta, finished and mixed in a wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano) but only because the flavor is so hypnotizing. Worth mentioning the other dishes we've had and appetizers have also always been satisfying. I've had the pizza a couple times and think about getting it again because I loved it, but the idea of the truffle pasta typically sways me away. Basically: Easy to come away with a very full and satisfied stomach. Much better than any chain restaurants.
