A friend living in Berlin for 12 years had a list of Italian restaurants recommended to her from…read morefriends who are from Italy, and this was one of them. 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!

Sehr schönes Lokal, tolles Essen, nette Bedienung, alles empfehlenswert!! Mein Sohn, der eigentlich…read moresehr wenig isst, hat eine ganze Margherita Pizza gegessen! Das sei nicht, dass die Pizza klein war, der Kellner, hat gefragt, ob die Pizza klein gemacht sollte für die Kleinen, oder normal. Nach Verzögerung, haben wir normal gesagt, Gott sei Dank, denn der kleine hat alles aufgegessen!! Pacherri für die Frau war ganz zu Frieden, und Pasta für mich auch, der nicht immer so gerne Nudelgerichte bestellt, denn die Italienische Frau kocht das so oft, war einfach köstlich! Weiter so noidue, kann nur weiter empfehlen!!

Tomato soup was just ok…read more Could have been from a can. Sorry if that insults but that was my initial reaction. Too salty, nothing special and nothing close to what I know comes out of many Italian places here. I've had better in a corporate chain. Bruschetta was good, not the best but better than many. Caprese was quite good - even the tomatoes, which makes the above all the more bothersome. Very good service and vibe. Should have gone the pasta route - saw two dishes & both looked A+.
