I know, I know. I sure ate a lot of Italian while in Germany. But let's face it, German food is…read moreawful. It's either all pork knuckles, currywurst, and sausages. We met up with a friend who has lived in Berlin for 12 years and she informed us that the hot cuisines right now were Italian, Indian, Vietnamese, and Japanese (but that the well known secret was all the Japanese places are run by Vietnamese so the food is not authentic). She also had friends from Italy who gave her a list of recommendations of the best Italian restaurants in Berlin and this was on their list. And man oh man were they not kidding. The food was amazing. First, it's a very, very tiny but quaint restaurant in what would've been once East Berlin. The staff and chefs are all from Italy and are extremely friendly. Like most places in Berlin, they refuse to give you free tap water, so you have to buy flat or sparkling mineral water. If you speak German sometimes you can get tap water, which is just perfectly fine, but they will tell you at most places it is awful and they won't give it to you. They did this here, too. Anyway, wasn't gonna fight about it. Back to the food. We had three entrees. We had a carbonara, and even if the picture looks slightly odd to you maybe, it was amazing and one of the best we've ever had in the world. My kid was in heaven. And they firmly state they don't make it with cream, as it's supposed to be made. Really killer! Also had the fettuccine con gamberi, which was also amazing. Was very happy with this authentic food, as well. Both these pasta dishes had truly decent sized portions and were reasonably priced. I got the lasagna, which was absolutely delicious. To die for. Only problem was my slice was like a baby portion. I could've eaten two of these and would've gotten something twice the size at any other restaurant I ever went to, so that was the only disappointment. Still, all the food was so good, I almost went back again the next night to eat and try something else. I would've had the whole menu if I was there a month. This is a MUST TRY for anyone in Berlin either living or visiting. Go!!!

Cozy dining room and outside seating, but too cold to sit outside on this night. Server was good. Menus in German and English. Complimentary bread and oil. Standard bread service but three different types of bread was nice. Burrata and calamari appetizers were good. Burrata was the better of the two. The calamari was nothing special. Tomato soup was excellent. All of the pasta dishes were fresh, hot, and delicious. My truffle pasta was very good. Creamy, hot, and the fresh truffles were excellent. Coworkers loved their spaghetti bolognese and carbonara. And of course, the beer was refreshing :-)

My final Italian meal in Germany was this very popular joint I stumbled upon on Yelp! Located in a…read moresection of Berlin populated with rows of restaurants, this place is happening right now for locals. We went without a reservation and that was a big mistake. Luckily they found one small table for the three of us, but otherwise, the inside and outside dining was overflowing. They also speak little to no English so hopefully you speak German. I think we only go the table because the maitre'd figured giving us a table was easier than trying to figure out what I was saying. Haha! While not as amazing as the two other places I reviewed in Berlin that were also Italian, it was pretty good. We ordered the margherita pizza to start and it tasted good. Sadly it asked for it crispy or well done and they couldn't understand so it was not undercooked but pale as heck. The carbonara was okay but had cream - a big no, no - and was too heavy to finish. The chicken verde (a green peppercorn sauce) was very good and I would highly recommend it. The spaghetti bolognese was pretty good but not as good as other places we tried in Berlin. Still, I would recommend trying this place. Just make sure you have a reservation!

The service - I suspect by the owners - is very personal. And the food is divine. I started with a simple Minestrone, which was enough to be a meal on itself, and loaded with fresh veggies. So good, I could have stopped there. At the owner's recommendation, I had the ravioli filled with mushroom. I was absolutely in heaven. The pasta was light and perfect, the mushroom filling just savory enough, and the cream sauce just divine- good enough to sop up with the complimentary bread, which I'd otherwise avoid. The wine list is short but high quality. The panna cotta is delightful. The crowd was International but not touristy, and mellow. I can't wait to return.

The restaurant is 207 meters in the air and rotates! Our waiter, Miguel, was wonderfully hospitable, and funny!! We ended up having a tri-lingual conversation going the entire time he helped us. Every single dish, and I mean EVERY SINGLE DISH, was so delicious and full bodied in flavor! We had a preset course meal, and because the dinner was prepaid, but 2 of our party of 6 could not make it, we were able to order and try all of the dishes. The size of the dishes is more than enough to fill you up, and everything had flavor notes of savory, sweet, earthy, and citrus. I mean talk about a well rounded palette! Drinks and dishes came quickly, there was no shortage of support throughout the night. And we finished it with a most decadent Black Forest chocolate cake! If you're passing through Berlin, definitely don't hesitate to put this restaurant on your to-dos. We would happily come back!!
