While walking here through the super cool Taksim neighborhood, we passed the butcher shop that sells and showcases the meats that this restaurant serves. It was a cool opportunity to both see, and eat, the high quality meats that they have. Also, the fries were perfect, and unsalted. I added my own salt and pepper and these heavy pepper/salt grinders are the coolest!! The decor is clean and interesting, with some outdoor seating too. And free wi-fi. Really hip spot!

Food here is delicious but the portions are on the smaller side compared to most Turkish…read moreestablishments. We came here on our last night in Istanbul, after having ordered at tons of restaurants both in Turkey and Greece. At each establishment, my husband and I were able to share a mixed grill and be STUFFED. Not here! Kasabim is a bit pricier and with smaller portions than a lot of other local establishments, but it is also slightly more upscale. So, we left a little hungry but it was totally our own fault--to be fair our lovely server did mention that the portions were not large. The food itself was FAB, but if you're hungry don't expect typical Turkish doner or kebab portions. The vibe here is very relaxing, the service is superb, and I enjoyed the experience thoroughly. I would return if I were in the area again.

The pizza were a bit salty but it go well with the spicy olive oil! Drinks were not amazing but it was good and cute presentation! Over all, a 6 out of 10.

While the prosciutto, dried tomatoes and walnuts were a great addition to the arugula, the salad was drowned in vinegar and buried under a disproportionate amount of cheese. As for the pizza, it was plain and the sparsely sprinkled fresh basil, barely-there tomato sauce or not-no-spicy olive oil did not really stand a chance against all the cheese. The service was very friendly and I liked the atmosphere sitting in a comfy chair tucked away in a corner upstairs. This place offers breakfast and is a coffee hangout during the day. Prices are very reasonable.

A friend wanted to try Italian cuisine so we decided to go to Cento per Cento for Pizza…read more The place was nice and well decorated... Music could be more relevant to Italian... Instead of dancing music (pop dance music). We order Pizza margarita and nobody was satisfied with the taste.. the only thing we liked was the tomato sauce! Frankly i was expecting a better taste from an Italian restaurant. Pasta was more worth it as it was hand made and well served. Cento per Cento is next to Cook shop... Cook shop's pizza is much better and at quite lower price... Just saying... :)

We were craving Italian and it was hard to decide between another nearby place, which seemed very…read morenice as well, but I had walked by this place a few times and it was always busy, which made me think, perhaps it tasted better. But it was hard to tell because a lot of people are outside, having drinks and smoking and chilling and eating pizza. We learned from previous meals that eating outside means you'll be exposed to smokers so we ate inside and NO smokers & much more quiet and the food was extremely delicious. So glad to have come here! Our servers were friendly and cordial and spoke excellent English. We had two carbonaras and one special pasta with the muscles and lemon, but it was creamy somehow it was so extra delicious, I had a Pinot Grigio with that and it was the perfect meal for the last day in Turkey. I highly recommend going to this place and also trying the Caprese salad here which they add pomegranate seeds too. The mozzarella was super fresh and bright with the pomegranate and fresh tomato and basil. We also added a Panna cotta at the end just for a sweet bite and that too was excellent, very friendly staff. Give Paps a try if u are missing pasta while traveling.

Hello. Tired of eating Turkish cuisine yet? If so, head on over to the new city via the tram, get…read moreoff at the stop for the tower and walk on over, about 10 minutes to Paps. It's all Italian! Paps is a tiny place..as in 10 tables, in the size of a shoebox. They have outside tables too. I strongly recommend reservations if it is after 6 pm to eat. We were fortunate that the weather was cold and despite it being 7 we walked right in. Pouring rain will do that. Onto the food. With my dietary restrictions I made sure to have a piece of paper translated into Turkish so there was no confusion. Do this if you have any restrictions. I went with their spaghetti with clams, which I had them remove the fish roe ahead of time. They did this. This dish is under their specials. It was good, but the clams were tiny and without a seafood fork to remove the meat, a challenge. A couple were closed..never eat those. Serving size was good. I ate only half. The spouse had the spinach fettuccine with sage butter and parmarsean cheese flakes. She said it was good, but very creamy. She ate most of it. The bread options are yuck. The best is the tiny breadsticks you would see back in the day. The spouse opened with a salad as an appetizer and liked it. I demurred. Pricing wasn't outrageous, and since I pay with a credit card, you will always get a far better exchange rate than what the restaurants will pitch.
