    Do you enjoy freshly prepared Italian food but prefer to obtain it in the most annoying and inconvenient way possible? Then Vapiano is for you! Ambiance Cool mixture of modern and wood look inside. Fairly dim lighting but that made for a nice ambiance and made it feel a bit upscale. You collect a plastic card when you enter on the first floor and use it when you order food on the second floor. Then you turn in the card and pay on your way out back on the first floor. We were there on a weeknight around 6pm, and it was packed with lines everywhere (see below). Service If you are alone and only want one item (a pizza, pasta, or a salad) then their bizarre system won't bother you too much. You will very likely wait 20-35 minutes either entirely in line (pasta or salad) or combined line and waiting for the food to be ready (pizza). They had a few ATM like kiosks to order which seemed like a good idea, but none of them worked. So you get in a line. A long line. There were lines for pizza, lines for pasta, and lines for salad. Want a salad and pasta? Wait in two long lines... maybe eat your salad while you're in line for the pasta? The chef making the salads seemed to be trying to hurry, but the setup was not helping him. He ran out of ingredients and had to leave and go in the back for 10 minutes instead of having a radio or something to have a runner bring him ingredients. The pizza staff weren't very friendly, but they did seem to be hurrying. There were about three different stations for pasta (all with lines - I waited about 25 minutes) and one station each for pizza and salads/starters. The chef at my pasta station was cooking one dish at a time and didn't seem in a particular hurry. Interestingly when it was finally my turn to order the woman behind me piped up and shouted her order too and then suddenly he apparently decided he could cook two pastas simultaneously and did so (not sure if he continued for others in line). The heat radiating from the cooking stations made it hot to wait so long in line. Food We tried a bruschetta, Hawaii pizza, and spaghetti bolognese plus a tiramisu dessert and two sodas. All were decent but by no means amazing. Another reviewer wrote that the great appeal here is freshly prepared food. Well, that's true. But you can also go to a proper Italian restaurant, get freshly prepared food, and sit comfortably at your table chatting with loved ones instead of waiting in a cramped hot line trying to coordinate with your companions. You'll pay a bit more than at Vapiano, but you'll have better quality food and enjoy the experience far more. Mojo Decent food but the incredibly unpleasant process you go through to get it is entirely not worth it. Spend a bit more at one of Berlin's many Italian restaurants and have a far more pleasant experience.

    Pollo Piccante, the biggest reason to come here!

    Look, this isn't the place to come if you want really good or authentic Italian good. It is good, but it's not that. For my American friends, think like a much cooler version of Olive Garden. However, there is one dish that I come back probably twice a month for, the Apollo Piccante. It's a chicken pasta dish (I go with dinkel spaghetti), and it comes with an orange pepper sauce, kind of Asian flair to it. The sauce is the perfect balance between sweet and spicy, and tastes amazing. Throw in yellow and orange peppers, and pak choi, and it is a great little, kind of somewhat a tiny bit healthy (and certainly healthier than most things around here). This dish alone is worth coming for. And if you want to try and others don't, they can get a decent pizza or pasta and be okay.

    Vapiano is awesome, still suffering from long wait to get what you want to eat ! But what is very nice on this one is the location, and thanks to its massive size with more than one floor you can always find nice spot to seat in.

    The pizza was good but my expectations were higher. The pizza I ordered had a burnt crust. But it was only a little bit burnt so it's fine.

You can always give it a try. why i said this? Because they don't really accept cash, you know someone who have an IS24 ID to pay. The place is really clean and comfortable, it offered serval different kind of seats. It also have seats our side near the cafeteria. In the sunny day, I usually prefer to sit oursite have my lunch and enjoy the fresh air. It got quite a modern look. The food menu is flexible. It offered different food everyday. you can see the schedule somewhere on the wall. Usually 4 main courses that can choose from, and then depend on how hungry you are, you can also choose something else as a side dish. It has salat, dessert, icecream, soft drinks and so on. Water is free. Generally the main course itself cost 3 euro. So basically cost just 3 euro for a meal. I found it really favourably, compared with most of the fast food restaurants around. The taste of the food is quite good as well. So far I like everything I have ordered. what I found it a bit annoyed is the charging process. Like I mentioned ealier. The place doesn't really accepted cash. There was 2 machines inside the place that allowe you to recharge the balace of the IS card and 1 machine you can refund the money you have left inside. What happended to me was, there were couple times I only have 20 euro with me. As I charged it. They took all for the amount into the card without any other further options. Same with refund machine. Either all in or all our. Beside that, the machine only refunded your balance with coins, the funny thing was the charge machine don't accept coins, it's kinda weird and inconvenient. So my suggestion is get yourself some changes. Thus, I find the place is still really nice. Lovely place for the staff to get together for some chit-chat and a small break. People are really friendly here.

The strudel was a little dry but pretty good. The service was really , really slow and it took awhile for us to get our order. I would check it out. It was an interesting place for sure.

The eggs were scrambled and cooked to perfection (asked for soft scramble), chicken club was also tasty as well the Salmon. We shared a Chocolate Torte for dessert-amazing! We got a tour of the 2nd level which has a former cigar/smoking room as well a Scotch drinking room. They will also show you the room where that famous scene was shot. A must stop when visiting Berlin! For the food, vibe and wonderful staff.
