AMAZING FOOD! The prices are extremely cheap (3,50 Euro for a full size pizza, 3,50 - 4 Euro for a…read moreplate of pasta, 3 Euro for risotto). The broccoli soup was unbelievable. I went to this restaurant about a month ago, and I am still craving their food. Definitely eat here if you are in the area!!!

Very rude and disappointed by their customer service - the waitress was making grimaces and…read morebehaving rudely while taking our order and serving - we first thought she had some problem with us but later realised it was her natural behaviour. Tossing the drinks and slamming the food is definitely a more accurate description of their service than serving! The food is of poor quality - they are not ashamed to serve you rotten tomatoes on a brownish salad. Pizza dough far from delicious. See the pic. Just disappointing. Would not recommend to anyone.

Italian food... in Germany? I know what you're thinking... why? Well, nothing against German food,…read morebut it can be heavy, and redundant (lots of pork, lots of potatoes). So when I was here for a week-long work conference, around day 3 I was I was craving something just a little different and something that wasn't pork. Enter Porta Nova. This place happened to be very close to where we were staying and promised to hold foods of the non-pork variety, so we decided to give it a shot. We were happily rewarded. Sometimes it is amazing how good a simple plate of pasta can be (and mine was a simple as it can get--spaghetti, tomatoes, basil, garlic, and olive oil), but on that night it was definitely one of the best meals in the world. We also ordered a couple appetizers to share at the table, the focaccia with cheese and the bruchetta. Another bonus of the night was out waiter. He was definitely a charmer, very patient with us as we tried to decipher the Italian dishes written in German on the menu, and joking with throughout the night. At the end of our meal (all three of us had consumed massive amounts of garlic between our entrees and the appetizers), he said jokingly in English (with a heavy Italian with slight tinge of German accent) that there'd be 'no discoteca for you tonight!' ...And he was right. We were happy and content, very full and moderately garlicky... and we loved every minute of it. So, if you're looking for a diversion from your standard German fare while in Berlin, Porta Nova is a good bet!

The food was great!!! Everything we tried was amazing. Truffle pasta (they pour piping hot pasta…read moreinto a giant wheel of parmesan cheese and mix it around and grate the truffles over it), filets, carbonara, carpaccio, tiramisu, salads, creme brulee- not one thing was bad. The place was packed on a sunday night. We were a table of 8 and had a reservation. Service was slow, but the food came out pretty quick. Definitely saving this on my maps for future trips to berlin.

The only good thing going for the place is that it is cheap. We were only there once, and are not going back, in Charlottenburg there are so many other, much better, options.

This is a surprisingly good Italian restaurant. Nothing really special about the ambience, decor or…read morepresentation the but the food tastes great and the service is really informally friendly.

I was surprised that the waiter did not ask the way of cooking of my meat and did not know about the vegetables of the day which came with my meat. Than they brought the wrong plate to my partner but otherwise the full experience was ok.
