A pleasant Mediterranean island in Berlin. Great staff, peaceful location, gigantic portions (even…read moreif unlikely to be fresh) with rich tastes. The real attraction of this place is the staff. I haven't checked but they come across as Italians who lived in Germany for some time, offering us a warm welcome and a professional, pleasant service throughout dinner, while speaking a combination of Italian and German (with a good command of English). Their honest recommendations and attention throughout the evening have been of the highest quality. We had two main dishes from the specials menu: (1) sea food (scallops and giant shrimps) with black pasta, covered with a rich and heavy cream. The pasta was good, but a little on the over-cooked end of the spectrum. The sea food itself was good. (2) The other dish was pasta with cheese and truffles: prepared right in front of us with much showmanship (see the photos). My friend was satisfied with the taste. The restaurant is located in the middle of what seems to be a residential area. It was practically empty. The menu is long and diverse so the likelihood of the ingredients being fresh, locally sourced daily from nearby farms fields is pretty low. The portions are massive (think US-sized) using lots of cream - which makes the experience a test for your stomach capacity, less a test for your taste buds.

Really lovely place off the beaten path, with a backyard garden and excellent service and food.

Highly recommended

Great place to enjoy real italian cuisine…read more Service is friendly and even if it is very crowded they are always up to enable you a chair and a table to have your dinner. Hence - sometimes there is some waiting time if you don´t have a reservation. Meals are tasty and prices are reasonable. The place to go when you are in Adlershof or near. Will be there again!
