Run by a family from Naples, the place charmed from the moment we entered and the wood powered oven cooked our divine pizza margherita. Who knew that a little tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella and basil was all you really needed on a pizza? Oh right - the Italians. This place reconfirms that all you need is the right ingredients to make transcendent food. We ordered another pizza with salami and, olives & artichokes....but that margherita stole our heart. Its pure creamy goodness was exactly what we wanted. And their spicy oil was even better than XXL - an impressive feat. On top of all this, our Italian server, homey decor, and temptress of a courtyard already have us planing for a return visit. Parents - we are taking you here. You're welcome.

I had been in the mood for pasta carbonara and ventured to Pizza Vira with the BF. It took a while for the cooks to start on our food but it was worth the wait (15 minutes). The pasta tasted fresh and had not been overcooked, which is a regular problem with this dish. I could see and taste the egg yolk in the cream sauce :D. The BF ordered a spinach and gorgonzola dish. I typically can't handle too much gorgonzola but I loved the sauce. It tasted more of cream than blue cheese, so if you're a blue cheese buff, try it on a pizza instead. Lastly, remember to grab your own silverware. We almost forgot to!

Am leckersten finde ich die Pizza Salciccia, deren Foto ich hier auch hochgeladen habe. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt, ich habe schon oft in anderen Restaurants mit italienischer Küche gegessen nur selten fand ich das Essen genauso köstlich wie hier. Schön eingerichtet, ich finde es authentisch bei Libau. Die Pizza wird im selben Raum gebacken, wo auch die Gäste sitzen. Das hat den Vorteil, dass es schon beim reinkommen unglaublich toll riecht. Die Bedienung aufmerksam und freundlich, macht auch Empfehlungen, wenn man sich nicht leicht entscheiden kann. Es gibt von mir die volle Punktzahl, weil alles gestimmt hat, immer wenn ich dort essen war. Und natürlich 5 Punkte für die absolut leckere Pizza!

After HOURS of researching the perfect place for our final meal on our Berlin trip, I came across…read moreMarechiaro. We were looking for something non-German, quaint, and in a less busy neighborhood, yet somewhere cozy that had great food, good service, and a nice atmosphere. I think this place fit the bill nicely! It was a nice night out and many people showed up to the restaurant wanting an outdoor table, so the employees took almost all of the tables out to the sidewalk to appease everyone. My wife and I stayed inside, though. The proprietors were super helpful. The menu and specials were all in German and they translated everything for us without a fuss. As we came to experience in Berlin, service in general is just slower than in the US. But this was the only place we ate where they acknowledged and apologized for the wait, which was nice. The food was freshly prepared and we agreed our entrees and appetizer were great. If they are serving it, I'd recommend the spaghetti with lemon cream sauce and tiger shrimp.

Thankfully, our sweet waiter told us that pizzas will come our way faster, so that's the route we took! They even split the pizzas into plates when you order a half & half pizza. Wine was good, and the atmosphere was great. They even have little tiramisu desserts for when you just want a bite or two. The only annoying thing (hopefully just isolated to the surge of people), was that when I went in I was told we weren't getting a table without a reservation. My mom went in a few minutes later and somehow got a table. What changed? Beats me, but I'm glad we got in!

It was great to be able to just walk in and be seated right away. Our waiter, Rosen, was extremely nice. My dad had some type of pizza -- I think it is known for the pizza but they have a full menu. I did not try it, but I can tell u it is thin crust & square shape, which I really like. My dad loved it. I got the vegetable lasagna with bechamel sauce. Very yummy and huge portion! I had half right there, the rest to-go and that was breakfast for two more days. I woke up craving it! The service was also very fast, but not because it tasted or looked pre-made. It's not fancy but certainly not like a food court. It would be perfectly fine for a casual weeknight date. I've been to a million Italian restaurants that are way fancier and absolutely more pricey, and this place is better than many of them. It seems to have various locations around Berlin, so check it out if u r visiting, touring, here for work. It's a versatile kind a place, plus u can pick up almost anything else u need in the Alexa Mall!

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!
