We stumbled across this polished restaurant when looking for a quick bite to eat before our concert at Berlin Philharmonic. Prices are expensive however the food is worth it (pictured). Service was attentive but somewhat aloof, this might be more of a German thing it was only day 2 of our visit to Germany. Wine list was quite good with a range of price points which was helpful. Only complaint is that the temperature of the restaurant was way too warm.

Pre-scheduled a dinner for a party of 14. The whole time the service was incredible, courses delivered at the right time, good quality food, absolutely no complaints.

All in all, a very good place to go as a large group.

The place is chic and the menu is superb to say the least. Went with friends and ordered an assortment of food from lamb to sea bass and tuna.

They has a great selection of wines, which is sadly, not cheap.

Service is great and they put attention to detail. The waiter even got us a vase to place the flowers which we got for a friend.

Will easily rank amongst some of the wonderful places I have eaten across Europe.

Location is another plus.

Very fancy place to eat Italian food. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was impeccable. I tried the pasta and it was very tasty, although a little salty. I ate at 1 pm and had the lunch menu, where the pasta plates are around 13 euro and other plates around 20. The regular menu is a little more pricey. I would recommend it!
