My vitello tonnato was excellent and the smell of my companion's tagliatelli with scampi mouthwatering. What a pity that the panna cotta didn't live up to the expectations: it was tough (too much gelatine) and bland in taste (no rasped lemon peel or something else that could have enlivened the taste). Still, overall a good choice

The small Italian restaurant is located in the art nouveau neighborhood of Eppendorf, hidden at the…read morecorner of Isestrasse and Heilwigstraße. It comes with an outside patio and two small dining areas inside that are packed all week. Seating can be tight and it might happen that you are run over by other guests and the waiters if you are sitting next to the corridor. It's also very noisy, so don't come here if you are planning a romantic candle light dinner. This place is recommended for dinner with friends or families outings. The food is delicious and I highly recommend sticking with the daily instead of the regular menu. The pasta is awesome as are the meat and fish dishes. A popular appetizer is the calamari dish, which you shouldn't miss. Coming here you will see mainly locals. Be aware of their certain bourgeoisie attitude that might also be adapted by the staff. + cozy restaurant, +popular with locals - tight seating, - noisy, - guests and staff w attitudes Average entrée: EUR 20.

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!

We sat in the back room and were a group of eight. The room was lined with jars of red sauce and…read morebottles of wine. The meal started with a tasting menu. There was a platter of things that I don't normally eat, such as white cream on meat. I devoured the entire thing. It was so good. I was full by the time we ordered the main course. At first I tried to get something with truffle in it, but they were out of truffle. So I got an eggplant pasta. And finished all of it. At the end, I had a green gelato and it was one of the best things I've ever tasted. In all, the food was extremely good and the whole thing took a long time because waited between courses. I don't know if this was intentional or they were understaffed. But the food makes it worth it.

Passable Italian food torpedoed by indifferent, insufferable, lackadaisical service. Do not want to be unfair to the kitchen, even if the food is not all that either, but the main topic of conversation between me and my dinner partner was the poor experience at Gallo Nero. They do have cute empty bottles of wine lining the walls.
