Enoiteca Il Calice

Good Italian food in the centre of Berlin? The Italian draught beer comes in small glasses, but what else can you expect in an inoteca? The wine is good and the food better. Selection of fish starters and then pasta with more than 6 grams of fresh truffle. As far as fresh truffles go ????
Nice place, good service @orhan

Great service, but I think food is not worth the price. I expected much more in taste and flavors.

Overall, had a nice experience. Food was good enough and I really enjoyed the wines. Why 3 stars only then?
First of all, not all the items on the 4 courses menu had the same good quality: - the beef tartare was fantastic
- the genovese not so much: everything had too strong flavor, the sauce was too sweet and the overall balance and combination of different flavors was a bit off
- the fish was good and I liked the combination with the small black lentils
- carrot cake and the other pre and post dessert were good. I thought a carrot cake would be kinda boring but their interpretation with a mascarpone sauce was really good. Unfortunately, the waiter forgot to serve us the sweet wine that was supposed to go with it and only served it to us at the very end when I reminded him.

Overall, not bad at all but considering the prices (~115€ for the 4 courses menu with wine pairing) I would have expected more consistent quality and taste across all the items in the tasting menu and that the dessert wine would come at the right time with the dessert.

The waiter was rude and showed very little interest in providing any service. The restaurant is okay but nothing special. Expect better where there is no shortage of €600 - €900 bottles of wine….

Perfect atmosphere for business lunches! I returned to IL Calice after the Lockdown and have to say that it was rather disappointing. The main fish dish was rather plain compared to what was described on the menu.

Additionally there was one one fish dish.

The menu is short, ensuring absolutely fresh food. The seafood antipasti platter was original and delicious. The lamb dish was done perfectly. The Tiramisu was served in a surprising way and was a wonderful close to the meal. The pricing is high but fair for the quality, so save this restaurant for a special occasion.

The food is exquisite, but the service patchy. Ordering another glass of Nebbiolo proves a challenge, even though we’re Il Calice’s only customers. The increasingly desperate whoops Sorokin and I emit to summon a waiter make us sound like the heroes of one of his novels.

Financial Times

Why not changing waiters of everyone complains? Fire them and hire more customer-focused?
