This restaurant maybe situated in deep Grunewald well known for it's well heeled clientele with deep pockets, our experience was more of some unwary first timers in some touristy hotspots.

We entrusted the restaurant to serve a mixed antipasti from the counter for sharing and it turned out to be a meager portion of quarted up mozzarella pieces and few dainty slices of vitello tonato. The additional orders of equally dainty portions of antipasti were charged at equally eye poping prices.

Admittedly, 2021 was a bad year for white alba truffles. Of the very low yield, poor quality and high prices, we have already been warned.

Indeed, ours did turn out to be rather bland and had only a faint aroma. Served on over-cooked, lumpy pasta in a heap really did not help either. One returned plate was replaced with pasta with fresh artichokes but charged at the same price as the pasta with truffles.

But when a weighed out 34 grams of truffles, for 10 people sharing, turned into 35 grams on the bill at a price tag of €12 per gram (which btw was €10 two days earlier); and a supposedly offered grapa on the house turned up at €9, one wonders when this game would ever stop.

Was it overly underwhelming or were we overly expecting?

Best Italian restaurant in Berlin. The host is a wonderful and very welcoming one. I was first time but still Felt like I am very old customer for them. Probably their service was so welcoming and friendly.

I encountered a very rude staff. I am a tourist and when i came to this italian restaurant everybody knew everybody. They were all like a big family and felt like i was an intruder. The waiters were only taking care of the old customers ignorig other people. Too shame for the very good food I ate. It was all spoiled by the services..

I was there on December 5th 2015. Though there were half drunk noisy clients sitting near by screaming their heads off, we've enjoyed the good Italian food. The service was friendly efficient and polite.
I was there a second time, on December 7th and it was quiet, the food was superb and I would recommend it and grant the fifth star!
