We were pretty much done with Eisten or currywurst after being here for a week. Very warm lobby with all open doors. No outside seating so we sat inside next to bar area. The services were very prompt. We chose a goat cheese salad and mushroom pasta. Both dishes exceeded our expectation. Salad was mixed great with walnut and cheese and dressing was light with nice honey taste. very refreshing and tasty. Pasta was nice creamy mushroom sauce with diced beef. Yummy. Price were very reasonable and waiters were very friendly.

This place is close to work and I'm a fan!…read more The restaurant looks relatively modern and very clean. Judging from the interior, I thought the prices would be a bit higher. Everything on the menu is really affordable and I ordered the funghi pizza, which is about €6. My only issue with the pizza was that it needed a more generous glaze of oil or butter on the crust, along with some more tomato sauce because the pizza was a tad dry. I also ordered the tiramisu for dessert and the consistency and texture of this tiramisu reminded me of the ones from Italy. The spoon would easily sink into the dessert and you could see the decadent layers with each bite. However, I do prefer my tiramisu to have a more prominent coffee flavor, but this one tasted more chocolatey like the Nestle hot cocoa mix. To sum it up, if you're craving Italian food and in the area, I would give this place a chance!

Fine Italian dining at its best! And yes, in Berlin…read more I enjoyed a late lunch here. I had walked past the restaurant on numerous occasions in the evenings when it is rather crowded. They offer seating both outdoors and indoors. I opted to dine outdoors. Nice atmosphere. The waiter spoke German, Italian, and English. He was professional and efficient. Complimentary warm, fresh bread and olives were served first. I ordered a Latte Macchiato and the Spaghetti Aglio Olio. The spaghetti was perfectly cooked, al dente. It was simple, not loaded with many ingredients, just garlic, roasted red peppers, Parmesan, and olive oil. Delicious. Reminiscing makes my mouth water. It was a pleasant expensive.

Based on recent ratings I expected to like this Calice d'Oro more than I did. In the end, it was a…read morerather disappointing experience overall. The restaurant sits along a busy street near The Gate. Atmosphere is nice enough...comfortable seating inside and out under awnings, crisp white table cloths, Italian wait staff straight out of "Central Casting Roma" who charm with Italian greetings and banter. But the good times end there. While menus were brought to our table immediately, taking our order took some time and a few hand gestures to make happen. Food, a pizza and some pasta for my friend, were bland and mediocre at best. Have feeling the orders sat a bit before being delivered as they were lukewarm upon arrival. The pizza was undercooked, under-sauced, and rather boring overall. Pasta was reported to be the same. When it was to go it took three asks to settle the bill. Our charming waiter politely suggested our tip was insufficient (it wasn't), and I left feeling much more like I'd been hoodwinked into dining at a tourist trap vs. having an enjoyable experience. I'm clearly in the minority compared to other recent reviews. Maybe it was just an off-night. But I travel to Berlin enough to know there are some really good small independent places to find great Italian food. This place is not one of them. Diners beware.

While I tried to not let my "American-ness" show by asking for ranch, I did toss on some of the chili oil and Tabasco they had readily available to give the Pizza a little extra kick.

Other than that... Delicious!

Three of us, all Americans, ended up at Andy's Diner late night on our recent trip to Berlin…read more(September 30, 2010) and were all pleasantly surprised. We were all annoyingly drunk and craving pizza. The bartender was very tolerant of us and even helped us to properly order our pizzas. There were other patrons in there who were obviously annoyed with us, but the bartender kept his cool with us and made the end to our evening quite pleasant!!! The pizza is delicious!!! I ordered cheese and peperoni which the bartender quickly informed me was not what I thought it was and that it would be big banana peppers with cheese...I decided to give it a try anyway and very glad I did!!! All of us thoroughly enjoyed our pizzas!!! I would recommend Andy's Diner to anyone looking for some quick and filling food while visiting Berlin!!!

For…read morebeing in the middle of Potsdamer Platz, you would expect more than 10 people during lunch hour... I assume the only customers were tourists who forgot to check Yelp. Obviously local Berliners and savvy tourists avoid this place. Bad service. This was the main problem. We sat down and the server quickly brought us their dinner menus. Not a problem if it was 8pm, but a little too early for lunchtime! We asked him about lunch menus, and the look on his face was priceless. Obviously they don't like people to order from their lunch menus during lunch! After some back and forth, we finally got the lunch menu. We quickly decided on what we wanted, but the waiter disappeared for 10 minutes... This is Berlin, so not an abnormal thing. When he came back, we ordered and everything seemed okay. Cappuccino + Pizza. I almost fell out of my chair when the waiter brought my pizza and cappuccino together. If he thought I was thirsty, maybe he should have asked if I wanted a drink? I'm wondering if this is a normal thing at this restaurant... Don't ask for spicy oil! I was still reeling from the surprise of the pizza cappuccino when I tried to order some spicy oil for my pizza. The waiter argued with us that the pizza was already spicy enough and did not need anything else. After some more back and forth, he grudgingly brought some spicy oil! Don't ask for water! In the middle of all this chaos, I tried to order some sparkling water. This was the breaking point! The waiter said he didn't have time for all of our questions and that we were not the only customers in the restaurant and stomped off!!! New waitress saves the day! After our waiter's meltdown, he disappeared and we suddenly had a waitress who was friendly and responsive. The rest of the meal was uneventful, exactly how I expect lunch at an Italian restaurant to be! Average food. Don't come to this restaurant if you're a foodie. It was bland, but that's completely expected for any restaurant in the middle of a tourist zone. I do have to say the cappuccino tasted good, but I don't recommend drinking it with your pizza! Nothing special. The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice (besides waiters who have temper tantrums!) and has a faux-posh feel to it. I recommend you sit in the terrace in the back. It's nice on a warm day and is next to a small pond. That's it. If you're looking for some excitement during your lunch, give this place a try. But if you're looking for a quiet meal with friendly service, go somewhere else!

I don't know how long they have offered vegan options, though it seems like the restaurant itself has been around a few years. But there are too menus: one for omnivores and one for veggies. It's somewhat nondescript in decor, but the restaurant has a lot of seating, and an "open" counter area where you can see your pizza dough being rolled out, toppings being added, and the final product placed in the oven. I've had the spinach pizza and also the mista...both were pretty good, though I think the first one I had was better (I was also a bit buzzed when I ate it, which made it irresistible to me). I also found that the pizzas are a bit salty, which is fine because I am a salt fanatic, but something worth noting. All in all, I don't think Zeus is THE BEST VEGAN PIZZA EVER, but if I am craving a bite and in the neighborhood, it certainly is a solid option.
