Run by Italians, a pretty standard lunch pizza affair. For the quality served, and for Berlin, I found the prices a little high. For evenings it's not refined enough imo. read more

We tried several pizzas which were all good. Cannelloni was excellent. Server was prompt and courteous.

The food is very good. Very fresh. The service was also very good. No issues. We sat outside and the ambiance was good at first, however other patrons would spoke at a spot near the street that was only a few feet from our table and it was quite unpleasant to smell cigarette smoke while trying to enjoy the food. We requested to move but were initially told we couldn't. We then decided to take our main entree (pizza) to go, since it hadn't yet arrived, and then the waitress said we could move if we wanted. Anyway, it was overall good! But just be aware of possible smoking near tables out front when being seated. read more

Papa pane was introduced to me as one of the best pizza place in Berlin but it is more than a pizzeria. They also serve respectable pastas. It is a bit weak on the antipasto/appetizer though. Wines are well priced so a good option. The place can be very busy so reservation really helps otherwise you may have to wait for quite a while before 8:30/9:00 pm. Overall, pizza is a better bet over pasta. read more

Papà Pane di Sorrento - Octopus appetizer. - Italian Near Me - Berlin, BE

One of my favorite pizza places in Berlin. Pizza, pasta, fish dishes, amazing deserts - everything is supper yummy. Great selection of Italian wines. Great for groups and families with kids. They have kids size pizzas! Place is always full, so call in advance to reserve a table. Service can be a little bit slow, but with all the people to serve it's understandable. House wine (red or white) is what I usually drink with my vegan Marinara pizza. read more

Found this restaurant on yelp late on a Saturday afternoon. After reading the reviews, my wife and I were very interested to try the place. Luckily when I called, the gentleman I spoke to confirmed we would still be able to get seated without a reservation. When we arrived at the restaurant, we noticed a lot of frantic wait staff dashing around the restaurant attending to tables. After 2 different severs acknowledged us and forgot about us, a third sat us but oddly told us that we only have 1 hour to dine and there would be a charge for anything beyond that duration (contrary to the warm welcome I received on the phone. The caesar salad and my wife's pasta dishes were exactly what we came to the restaurant for- quintessential Italian fare that was well-executed. My sausage and mushroom pizza was definitely enjoyable, but I a bit far from the best-I've-had category. In addition to the odd greeting we received when we arrived at the restaurant, we noticed service is not this place's forte- very long wait times for food to arrive despite the time warning when we were seated and a server who checked in with us 3 times after paying the bill asking where the tip for the meal was. Overall, I would normally be curious to try what else is on this menu and see what this kitchen is capable of, but I think the service that would go along with another meal is a deal breaker. read more

It's an authentic Italian restaurant with Italian staff and, from what they have told me, ingredients imported from Italy. The result, a tasty pizza! Prices for the service you get is good, staff is friendly and atmosphere is worth trying out. read more

Papà Pane di Sorrento - Pizza margarita with extra olives - Italian Near Me - Berlin, BE

Service was a bit distracted, and the pizza was nothing special. I had just returned from Naples and Sorrento, and this was nothing close to the Neapolitan pizza I had there. The pasta was even more disappointing. We had the seafood pasta with clearly frozen seafood that was chewy and sad. Good outdoor seating for sunny days but wouldn't recommend for quality of food. read more

My boyfriend and I found this restaurant through a travel blogger on Pinterest. We were looking for reasonably priced food that was still authentic and delicious (obviously the most important). We jumped on the train from our hotel to Papa Pane di Sorrento. When we got there we grabbed a spot outside on their patio. It is in a nicer area and neighborhood of Berlin, so we were able to watch the people are cars go by on a quiet Tuesday night. They had an English menu which was fantastic, but our waitress didn't speak any English. Turns out "pizza, beer, and wine" is a universal language for everyone though! We both got our own pizzas which was a little too much food for us, you could probably split one for two people. Also, remember that in Germany they cut everything while they eat it, so don't be a stupid American and eat your slices with your hands! I would give this restaurant 6/5 stars if I could. It was such an excellent stop during our trip, I highly recommend! read more

Papà Pane di Sorrento - Two pizzas, wine and beer for a perfect Tuesday evening! - Italian Near Me - Berlin, BE

I decided to come here for my birthday so I booked a table in advance because we were quite a big group. The restaurant is located just a few minutes away from Rosenthaler Platz. This place is super italian. Only italian waiters, white and red checked table cloths and it's pretty loud and crowded inside. We all went for pizzas and they're all very good and affordable as well. House wine was good as well! Service was really friendly, food was good and the ambiance was also enjoyable. Can definitely recommend this restaurant if you're on the hunt for a nice Italian place. Be aware that it's a little bit more on the pricy side for Berlin standards. read more

This place is very busy, regardless of the day, but especially so on weekends. Regardless, it is definitely worth the wait. The interior is small, a bit loud and a bit cramped. There seem to be too many tables crammed into the inside and there's no waiting area for customers. That's the bad, everything else is fantastic. Service was good and our waiter was extremely friendly and helpful. What you came for, the food, is very good. My party all had pizza, which was the best Italian-style pizza I have had in a long while. I saw one review said the bottom side of the crust was not crispy enough. While I would agree, it didn't detract from the quality or taste of the pizza, in my opinion. I had the salami pizza and the people with me had the spinach and ricotta. Both were well made and delicious. Definitely worth a visit! I wish I had more time in Berlin so I could return and try something else. read more

I wanted to like this restaurant really bad because a friend recommended it but it was not it. I went at about 4pm and was told there was no pasta until 5pm. I was hesitant about waiting but I really wanted pasta so I decided to sit outside and have a few beers. I got hungry so I ordered the bruschetta. It took a while to come out and it was just ok, the tomato didnt have much flavor. I got a beer and it was hot - no bueno. Finally at 4:50pm the waiter told me I could order pasta. Turns out they only have about 6-7 pasta dishes for dinner and most are only served during lunch. I asked if they could make me a carbonara (not on the menu) and luckily the kitchen agreed. When they brought it out it looked amazing but everything went downhill with the taste - it was soooo incredibly salty! The pancetta was not cooked all the way through and neither was the pasta. I ate about half because I was really hungry but I was very underwhelmed. The meal ended up being 20€ which was not worth it. I appreciate them accommodating me and the portions are pretty big but thats about it. I think you're better off sticking with the pizza which looked great. read more

Papà Pane di Sorrento - Carbonara - Italian Near Me - Berlin, BE

The food was really good but the gas wasn't working so we could only get anti pasta and pizza. Which we waited for about 20 minutes after our app before the server told us. The pizza was good but when you're craving pasta it doesn't really hit the spot. The servers spot English and they were able to seat us right away but they had reversed signs on all the tables and the restaurant remained empty for over an hour. I don't know if they place them down early or what but it was a little odd. read more

Great italien place with a lunch menu that almost seems like a steal. Especially the homemade pasta is great.

Affordable, nice Italian Trattoria. Service was very friendly, the food was good, but don't expect gourmet. The mixed starter is huge, and pretty good. The pizza's are very nice! The vegetarian pasta tasted a little bit as made for a child, it was very sweet (lots of sugar). It really needed a lot of pepper and would have been better with some basil and/or other herbs. We also had a home-made ravioli which was very nice. Overall the food was pretty good, but e thought they used too much salt, we were thirsty all night (I drank a liter of water at night and still woke up thirsty) - this is a problem we have with lots of restaurants, especially in Germany. Why do they do this? Are so many chefs smokers (they taste less salt)? Using so much salt is very bad for you and you don't sleep well on it. House wines were very much OK and reasonably priced. Nice, busy atmosphere made us feel at home. You can sit outside or inside. Update: great spot for lunch! Pasta's for about 5 euros and good pizzas for normal menu prices (avg 7 euro). read more

Craving Italian food at an affordable price? This is your lucky day! Let me walk you through the sequence of my meal 1. Starter: Bruschetta - it was good, but I've had much better before. 2. Pasta: Linguine with tuna, cherry tomatoes etc - now this dish was seriously good, the pasta just cooked to perfection it disappeared effortlessly. 3. Dessert: Tiramisu. OMG. I have a weakness for these anyway, but this tiramisu is seriously dangerous. And it is massive. I have rarely come across such a good tiramisu and I would consider it a crime not to order it, even if I was completely full, which I was, incidentally :) Now a quick note about everything not related to food, which is secondary anyway: The ambience was ok, it is definitely not cosy, the place is too big and too busy for that. I would strongly recommend reserving a table, as this place was fully packed even on a Monday. read more

To me, the best ristorante-pizzeria in Berlin. Affordable and quality food. Everchanging menu. Worth more than a visit. A reliable hint. Pizzas start from 3,50 Euro (Marinara: tomato, oil. garlic, herbs, no mozzarella), Pastas from 8/9 Euro, Main Courses about 12/16 Euro, Selected (good) side dishes about 7 Euro. Fish dishes always in the menu. Highs: all of the above Lows: sometimes a litte crowed, sometimes overacting waiters, no EC/Credit card accepted. My favourite: quite any pizza of the day, several risottis and pastas (depending on the menu), dorade filets, carpaccio di polpo. read more

Such amazing, authentic Neapolitan pizza at an amazing price! The pizzas are huge - falling off the big plates - and they are mostly under €10! Ingredients are fresh and flavorful. The menu is first in Italian and then German. Not much English spoken, which contributed to accidentally buying a €5 bottle of water. We went here because celebrities like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise are here, and now I see why! If you want the best pizza in Berlin, look no further! read more

Good selection of pastas and pizzas for good prices. Excellent, friendly service.

Lovely meal of pasta, salad and wine. Staff competent and attentive. Recommend without hesitation. I had the pasta with asparagus and Truffles which was delish. My sister had the pasta with marinara and zucchini which she adored. Salad fresh and lightly dressed. Suggest reservations. read more

Food was great! The only down side was that we asked fir tab water ( what is actually typical to get at italian restaurants) but unfortunately the don't serve it :( read more

Food is sensational. The ingredients are so tasty and full of flavor making the dishes superb. The papa pane pizza special is a must, Caesar salad was excellent and quarttro formaggio was also the best I've ever had. read more

Pizza Rule #1 Cheese, Sauce and Crust. If any of the three don't make the grade, putting extra stuff on it won't make it any better. Not only are Papa's the best I've had in Berlin, but they are also sized right and priced right. The waitstaff is quick and attentive and the decor is just fine. As soon as I o.d. on the pizza, I promised myself to try the pasta. I'm not holding my breath. read more

Great pizza! (I am Italian). My advise: order the Margherita. Simple and cheap. The staff is great! read more

Once upon a time it was a place with good pizza for reasonable prices with a nice italian flair....those times are over...pizza is still good...prices raised and service...well ehm...there is no service anymore...but a motto...eat fast, leave tip and go...dishes coming not the same time...they starting taking the plates away before EVERYone is finished...so if your touristguide tells you to go there...go ahead...it is a touristplace with touristtreating right now...not such a nice place for pizza in berlin like it was... read more

delicious pizza at a great price. I don't know how the other reviewers could have had a bad experience here, our service was wonderful- which is a very rare statement around these parts. We will definitely be back. read more

Don't go here if you want to have some flavour. I ordered the Pizza of the day. My friend the salami one. His was ok flavour wise, but mine barely had any flavour you expect from a pizza. Even adding salt & pepper wasn't helping. The texture of the base was anything els than crispy. It took more than 20 minutes to get the pizza. There was no bred & oil & balsamic vinegar on the table. The balsamic vinegar I asked for to add some flavour to the pizza was a cheap one in a spray bottle (not Italian style at all). Thee price for a vegetarian pizza of 9,50 Eur is too high, even tho it was Pizza of the day. The size was all right, but this isn't improving the flavour. The only positive impression I had was the waitress Adriana. This is a definitely no go place for good pizza. Just made the test at a take away pizza place. Their pizza had better texture & flavour . read more

One of the authentic italian pizza place in center of Berlin. Reservation is must as this place is always full. During our first visit , tried Pizza Papa Pane ( vegetarian ) and Panna Cotta ( Dessert ) , both were very delicious. Pizza size is really big , do order first ( good for 2 people ) and later go for second based on hunger left :) Highly recommended read more

Was taken there for a business/informal lunch. I was ordered a custom pasta with truffle and ham. It was super delicious. The restaurant is in a very nice building, the interior is a mix of elegant and simple italian style. read more

Their pizzas are reasonable, but a bit mild. If you ask for the spicy oil, they bring you a tiny bowl with some slices of pepper in olive oil. And they charge for it. I also find their refusal to serve tap water petty and annoying. Tap water in berlin is pretty tasty and clean. This is what I drink at home and I don't see why I have to feel forced to drink something I don't like. read more

Good house wines and younger (20'and 30's) crowd. Crowded and noisy. Pizza was not crispy enough. The servers had too many tables - asked for a napkin and never arrived - forgot our drink order. Almost authentic food but simple things like fresh pepper would make it nicer. Good value on prices. Made a reservation but was useless. - they put 5 of us on a small table for four. read more

We love Papa Pane for Pizzas. Really, hands down I love coming here for the pizza. We love the antipasti plate with the mix of grilled and marinated veggies with some prescuitto in the middle. . but really it's the pizza. The number one thing to get is the namesake: the Papa Pane Pizza. Why??? you might ask . .. It's delicious, no other pizza I have had compares. The rest of the pizzas can be creative, but still similar to ones you will have in good pizzerias around Berlin. The Papa Pane Pizza can delight your tastebuds by adding an air of the right mix of sweet tomatoes roasted. You get the sweet roasted tomatoes on the pizza, too. The sauce is copious, which makes the pizza moist and flavorful, then the large chunks of Buffalo Mozarella cheese with fresh basil really tops it off. You just can't go wrong with this pizza. The ambiance is quite more fancier than what I usually frequent. Nonetheless, the serve and the manager are very professional. It's typically overcrowded on any night. Even when I have a big party of 10 people, I have reserved a table. It's a great place to go do the selection, however I always recommend the pizza. My friends have had mixed reviews about the pastas, but since I've never had them, my ranking is based on the pizza-based experience. Get a carafe of house wine for starters with your antipasti, papa pane pizza, and end it with a great large Tiramisu. You'll love it and roll home. It's in a quite area of mitte, but Ackerstrasse / Invalidenstr. It's a few hundred meters from Nordbahnhof or Rosenthalerstr (near Am Wienberg Park). read more

The place smelled inside like an ashtray. Smokers right outside allowing smoke to drift inside. The pizza was okay. The crust was too thick and the rest was too soft and wouldn't hold up. The lasagna was good. Service was okay as well. We went for lunch I would say 1/3 full. read more

My boyfriend and I decided this is our favorite Italian place in the neighborhood. The pizza is yummy and the pasta dishes are too. Wine good, salads too. Fair price. Service comparable to the rest of Berlin. Pasta with asparagus and truffle oil amazing! It's lively inside and pleasant to sit outside when weather permits. read more

Food is excellent. Very crowded, which is actually a good sign. We called to make a reservation and they couldn't get us in for a few hours but said just come and we'll get you a table. Waited 10-15 minutes, but well worth it!!! Ordered the black truffle and asparagus pasta, Papà Pane pizza and spaghetti Napoli. Ended with the tiramisu - all were great! Definitely check it out. We'll be back next time in town. read more

Good pizza place in Mitte. It's not the best pizza I've ever eaten but definitely good. Large portions as well when it comes to the pizzas. This place is usually quite full so make sure to reserve a table. Outdoor seating available but I docked a star as where we were sitting, a rather odd odor was coming from their basement from the vent. Made me wonder what they were doing down in their storage room. Waiters are your typical Italians. Like to play important and act the part. Fun to watch but if not your thing, definitely annoying. I don't mind as they tend to do their job and fairly efficiently. Price-wise also a good find. Everything on the menu is in line with the pricing in the area and is not out of the ordinary. read more

Went here when I was in Berlin and had a wonderful meal! Delicious carbonara and salami pizza. Also very well priced and nice staff!
