What a wonderful evening we had! Thanks to you ! It's really difficult to find a good Italien Restaurant in Berlin and I finally found the one. The service is outstanding, the atmosphere ver nice, warm and welcome. But the food is amazing. The menu is not to big because what they offer they do it with love and an amazing taste ! We had several entries, a main course and a Dessert. Everything was just delicious. Fir that experience you do pay a bit more but it is worth it ! It is definitely a must have to try. You definitely need a reservation. Thank you again! Greetings Joshua & Family

I was told this is the best Italian restaurant in Berlin. Sadly, not. I ordered a braised lamb shack which was juicy and well balanced with the gravy. I have also asked for some vegetables and they brough a small plate with some boiled veggies, something out of an hospital meal. My partner had linguine alle vongole, which was well made (this dish is relatively simple to prepare, but easy to mess up). We ended with a creamy Tiramisu, which was the highlight of the dinner. It was basically impossible to have a conversation because the place is small and very, very loud. Service was rushed and poorly organised (must say it was Friday evening and the restaurant was full). For such a small place, we had to constantly fish for the attention of one of the 4 or 5 waiters. Now the price: the meals were a bit overpriced (35 euros for the lamb), a bottle of water 7.5 euro, honestly ridiculous. As usual in Berlin they do not accept cards (and as far as I could see it's not advertised) so I had to go out in the blistering cold to look for an ATM. Why a restaurant that charges 35 to 50 euro for a dish does not accept cards is outside of my domain of comprehension (well, I can think of a reasons or two). Anyway, overall the experience was below expectations. Definitely not the best Italian restaurant in Berlin, I mean, not even in the top 10.

Excellent Italian dishes, my pasta with mushrooms was top notch! The 3 of us all had outstanding food, food you’d come back for. Our waiter was attentive and cozy atmosphere. Cash only

The restaurant is run by the loveliest people. We tried quail breast with artichokes and pagliette with mushrooms as a starter. They were amazingly delicious. The main courses were good but they didn’t blow our minds. We ordered tagliatelle with ragu and veal tail with mashed potatoes. All the wines we tried were really good. The staff was lovely and fast.

The food was partly good, partly average. But the prices were much too high for us! I would not go again.

The food is good, but they keep the best tables for their local friends and you cannot pay with card...
