Al Contadino Mozzarella Bar & Bottega in Berlin

3/3 times great food and great service! I always like to come back!

Such a beautiful and cozy place!! i would definitely recommend it for date or a dinner with your friends! and very authentic italian food, quality is amazing. Will come again!😍

It wasn’t a terrible experience, but definitely overpriced. €45 for two mozzarellas and three glasses of house wine is far too much. The mozzarella wasn’t even of high quality, just average. The service wasn’t the best either. The only positive note is that the interior of the place is nice, but that alone doesn’t justify the high prices.

Just love this store - reliably great for years!

I find it difficult to express the excellence of this restaurant... I'll try... Let's start with the cheeses, authentic, delicious, selected, original... the staff are helpful, polite and not only that, they are also attentive to good old-fashioned manners. .. Homely atmosphere, as the name itself "farmer under the stars" suggests. Thanks, see you soon :)

Software darf es nicht geben .Hatten uns hingesetzt da kam die bedienu g rausgerannt total historisches verhalten ,hat reservierungschilder dahin geknallt kurze Ansage gemacht dass die Plätze für 2 p. Sind und weiter gerannt. Dieser Mensch ist nicht sozial u in dem Beruf zu arbeiten braucht er eine therapeutische schulung

Top reception. Top food. Attention top.

Great mozzarella dishes, the ingredients are of outstanding quality

It was simply fantastic👍🏻 We ate 3 different mozzarellas and they were all great. Gladly again❤️

Perfect spot for great wine and Italian antipasti.

Such a beautiful place! You suddenly feel like you're on vacation. Incredibly friendly and attentive waiters, delicious food and, in my opinion, absolutely fair prices for this quality! Even though we were there way too early, we were offered an aperitif and apologized several times that the place wasn't free yet, which isn't a problem 30 minutes before the reservation. Thank you very much for the wonderful evening!

A super nice restaurant in the heart of Berlin. If you like modern Italian cuisine, this is the place for you. You won't necessarily find Italian classics here, but the dishes I tried were high quality and super tasty. Definitely worth a visit. The mozzarella selection is also huge, if you're a fan you definitely have to stop by here

Best mozzarella I've had. So fresh & creamy. The pasta is delicious as well

Average food, bad service. Told us we had the table for only one hour when our online reservation clearly said 2h30… Watery aperol and expensive olives

The slightly different Italian with the theme of mozzarella and wine. Both are very good here and available in various combinations. It was my first time here and I really enjoyed the food. The rooms are somewhat small, quaint and cozy. Because of this, make a reservation in any case, otherwise you have little chance of staying here.

Very good place especially the atmosphere and especially in the summers. A little too tight on the inside with space but their food and wine selection is quite good. But their drinks in the park is what really defines this place.

We, my daughter and I, were guests in the authentic Italian restaurant today. We didn't have a reservation and were greeted very politely and were able to choose a table. That's the way it has to be. We were happy to accept the recommendations for the dishes and were not disappointed. All dishes were freshly prepared and were of excellent quality. Of course we like to take a little time with us. If I want my food quickly, I'll go to the Chinese restaurant. You can take your time here, chat, you're never hassled by the staff, great. The price-performance ratio is also okay and I pay a fair price for great food. In short: We will definitely be back, even from Leipzig. Thank you very much.

Well, I didn’t have a reservation… and the rude guy at the door told me to go… but a couple of guys that came after me with no reservation could even choose the table … will never recommend this place

So basic and overpriced! We payed 40€ for mozzarella and some antipasto 😢

Excellent food at relatively fair prices. Only the champagne-drinking and Rolex-wearing business graduates are really annoying, so one star is deducted. Apart from that, nice atmosphere, especially the outdoor area on Auguststrasse.

After we sat down in one of the many free seats on Sunday and weren't served for about 10 minutes, we asked the waiter very politely if we could order something. (He saw us and ignored us several times) He then shouted at us that we should wait if we didn't have any reservations. At the other table there was a family who didn't make a reservation and were served very friendly by the waiter (who sat down after us) You can also politely point out that you should wait (for whatever reason, when unannounced guests come before you). He shouted at us and treated us like dirt. I think it's a shame that an obviously racist waiter ruined my entire stay in Berlin and no one in the shop came to help. Of course we got up straight away and got something to eat somewhere else! If I could give 0 stars I would!

Incredibly great dishes, quiet location, nice service. Perfect for a simple after work.

Unfortunately the prices have skyrocketed 😮

We were thrilled with the advertising on Instagram. We didn't like the presentation of a ball of naked mozzarella in one bowl and the anchovies in another. Likewise the prices for them. We didn't expect it like that. Well, that's just how it is with expectations. But in our eyes it's not a highlight.

The food is so basic , mozzarella with grilled veggies was very poor. There are much better Italian restaurants in Berlin with delicious mozzarella.

nothing special about the food; tastes like very common mozarella

I booked a table for me and a friend on Saturday lunch time. Long story short: • The waiter's demeanour towards us was dismissive. Explaining: when we were ordering, he was looking around and seemed quite impatient with us, and when I asked particular questions about salad ingredients, he was not really listening and was telling the irrelevant to my question matters, and almost hurrying to take the order he totally misheard. Then, when we were asking the additional glass of wine and then the bill, he proceed with his attitude of impatience and neglect. The salad I took was the Ruccola salad, with walnuts, pear slices and hard cheese. I acknowledge that it is exactly how it is written in the menu, and this is all what is in the salad is about. The bowl was full of Ruccola, on the top - bunch of whole walnuts. slices of pear and several big pieces of Parmesan. No additional stuff, no dip, only olive oil from the table (which is I'm not quite sure is extra virgin olive oil, judging by its taste). Would not say that it felt like the salad was prepared with care, this Parmesan big pieces was cut like in a hurry. And this salad of 4 ingredients (93% Ruccola) costed €12.5 euro. BUT it is not the main reason why I put only 2 stars. The MAIN reason is that we took 3 glasses of “Haus Wein”, which costed €7 per 200ml glass, but in our bill we found another wine: which costed €13.5 per 200ml glass. So instead of €21 euro for wine, in the bill was €40.5 (plus dishes, of course). We can only guess how exactly this unfortunate mistake was made on the part of the restaurant, or on the part of above waiter. But the only thing we can be sure of - is to be cautions and always check the bill. Like we, luckily, did.

The food was delicious! We had mozzarella to start and a lovely pasta dish as the main. Since it was so busy with a queue almost constantly coming out the door it was quite stressful to sit outside. I guess we had bad timing bc the sun was out and everyone was drinking aperol at the park close by. It was also hard to get the attention of the waiter to order or pay. The waiter was however very nice. Overall we still enjoyed the food and would go back.

Food was perfect, service perfect, ambience perfect. Clear recommendation!

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff, with some of the best wine selection for an Aperitivo you can find in Berlin. Will come back for the food - looks very good!

Delicious antipasti, good pasta, tempting dessert and decent wine… Nice spot and friendly service

Small, really nice restaurant in the center of Berlin. The food is really excellent, the specialty is mozzarella, which you can also try in many combinations. Simple, no frills, but pleasant. Friendly service, delicious wine, good food, I'll happily go here again when I'm in Berlin

I love the food and the service. Really always happy to come here.

A mozzarella like from heaven. This was a find online that you can recommend at any time 👍👍👍👍👍

As you all know it is quite hard to find good Italian restaurant. But I feel I found one. We had a platter for two people and cannellini. They were so fresh and delicious.

Our experience was terrible. The mozzarella was clearly old, while the ham was full of fat. In a nutshell, 4 mozzarella 100 euro, embarrassing! It was the worst experience ever!

I went there for dinner and we sat outside. The service was amazing, very friendly and helpful staff. The atmosphere was lively and the food was delicious, had the daily special pasta. The wine was great, we were unsure which one to get, but the waiter was very helpful and patient with us. 🥂

Very cute restaurant in Mitte with delicious food.

Cozy and authentic little Italian restaurant in Berlin Mitte. Family-run with delicious, off-the-shelf dishes. Mozzarella variations are endless, I tried great risotto and a caponata (Sicilian eggplant) from another planet :) Delicious organic wine, nice ambience under a starry sky. A beautiful evening

Fairly average food at quite high prices - €98 for some mozzarella, prosciutto, two pasta dishes and a couple cocktails + glasses of house wine. The real issue was they refused to serve tap water and charged €3 euro per bottle for water that came in a refillable bottle (so wasn't even properly bottled!)

Really tasty Mozzarella in many different variations. The service was nice and fast

The service is the best you can get. They made us feel welcome and feel taken care of. The wines are topped off and the bread basket filled quickly. Nice atmosphere and great food. Will definitely come back for more!

Really delicious. We had lunch here with homemade focaccia, freshly sliced ​​meat and (of course) mozzarella. The olive oil is unfiltered and super tasty. The service is nice. As an Italian should be: good quality products, processed in simple (but oh so tasty) dishes.

your sandwiches are saving lives! thank you ❤️

Wonderful service, super tasty food, I highly recommend it and we will definitely be back

Very tasty finger food/antipasti, Fig mustard and mature cheese were a great taste experience, attentive, friendly service. Unfortunately a bit narrow and loud. Gladly again...

Very tasty pasta and good house wine.

Excellent place to have a bottle of wine and snack some tasty mozzarella. Weirdly sometimes they run out of some type of mozzarella:/

It was my second time at the restaurant. I went with expectations because on my first time, last summer, I was impressed with the taste of the food. We ordered Burrata with basilikum cherries as a starter, which was the highlight of the meal. For mains; Pasta of the day, which was Beef pasta with tomato sauce, and Cannellonni. Unfortunately, this time I was disappointed, I would not repeat any of the dishes. Bad value for money.

Very nice place, but: leave the simple and standard mozzarella dishes and take something from the more extensive menu that you only get via QR code. We had a truly fantastic caponata and malfatti and zucchini-eggplant tart, all perfectly prepared.

You can taste the high quality of the food. The salad with feta and beetroot and the burrata with tomatoes were particularly tasty.

Actually a great little restaurant. Not really Italian though. Albanian. The meals were good. Mozzarella is great. However, completely overpriced. I think 38 euros for a bottle of wine that costs 6 euros to buy is sporty. At least it would be nice to name the price beforehand. The menu is relatively confusing. Truffle spaghetti is ok, but it swims in butter and is overpriced at 25 euros. We (plus an Italian) had a few antipasti and spent 180 euros without the main course. They were all pretty angry.

For me the best restaurant in Berlin, super friendly welcome, very courteous service and when it comes to food I'm not even 10 out of 10. I haven't eaten so well in a long time. We will be back definitely.

Ristorante piccolo ma molto carino, con una “cantina” a vista con una buona selezione di vini italiani. Ottima selezione di mozzarelle, davvero gustose. Lasagnetta e pappardelle al cacao con ragù di cinghiale davvero ottimi. Focaccia barese con i pomodorini meravigliosa. Personale svogliato, peccato. Prezzi onesti, 50 euro con una buona bottiglia di vino. Uscire felici e soddisfatte.

Sehr freundliche aufmerksam Bedienung, Sehr nettes Ambiente.

Wir waren an einem Sonntag in der Mozzarella Bar und es war sehr gemütlich. Ein perfekter Ort bei regnerischen Tagen. Besonders gut fand ich, dass die Mozzarella Bar einen das Gefühl gibt, irgendwo in einer Seitengasse in Italien zu sein. Meine Begleitung war vor dem Besuch etwas schlecht drauf, aber der servierte Käse und der Aperol hat ihr und mir den Abend gerettet.

Great Italian place for having a cute dinner (especially if you like mozzarella hehe) and/or drinks (great vine, great typical Italian drinks). Friendly and nice staff! Vegetarian options available, for vegan it might be tricky (you can still get veggies & co but no vegan cheese). Also for the summer time a great place that feels like a little vacay :)

Great food, large portion and very reasonably priced!

Ich war schon viele Male dort. Und ich komme immer wieder gerne. Der Laden ist immer gut besucht, einen Tisch ohne Reservierung zu bekommen, könnte auch dauern. Aber bei einem Glas Wein draußen lässt die Wartezeit sich gut überbrücken. Der Service ist jedoch immer bemüht einem einen Platz anzubieten. Das Essen ist immer hervorragend! Es gibt eine große Auswahl an kleinen Speisen. Käse- und Schinkenvariationen, Focaccia, Pasta (kleine Auswahl) und eine große Mozzarella Auswahl. Dazu kommt noch die Tageskarte, die der Service bei jedem Mal erläutert. Auch gibt es eine tolle Weinkarte. Ein kleiner Hauch von Italien in Berlin.

Little typical Italian place in Berlin! Very nice service and the food is very very good! I really like it! Very good quality

Sehr freundlicher Service und super leckeres Essen und Weine. Was will man mehr?

יין בסדר פלטת גבינות מביכה בטעם ובמבחר

Lecker, als wäre man direkt in Italien. Allerdings auch nicht ganz günstig

Zwar haben wir uns so lange gewartet zu bestellen und zu bekommen. es war aber voll und alle waren so beschäftigt. Davon war Service in Ordnung und konnten wir gern verstehen. Nachdem Essen wollten wir inkl. Trinkgeld mit der Karte bezahlen Aber bei der Bezahlung wurde es mehr abgezogen als wir bezahlen wollten. Es ist ja Paaren Euro. Sowas kann man bezahlen. Aber damit bin ich enttäuscht und leider kann ich nicht empfehlen.

Personal war freundlich. Als etwas mit der Rechnung nicht stimmte wurde das Personal extrem unhöflich. Haben so etwas bis dato noch nicht erlebt. Kann dieses “Restaurant“ nicht weiter empfehlen. Schade , sone schöne Lage und dann Menschen mit zwei Gesichtern. Daumen runter

Amazing cheese plate and drinks!

Tutto buonissimo e camerieri cordiali e gentili. Prezzi non molto alti e la qualità è altissima. Ottima esperienza, da riprovare

Ich kann Gnocchi plus ein Glas Wein sehr empfehlen!

Ich war schon 2 Mal hier, das erste Mal habe ich Wein getrunken und die Atmosphäre, der Kellnerservice war unglaublich angenehm, aber als ich am nächsten Tag kam, war absolut alles das Gegenteil…. Sehr unfreundlicher Kellner, Buratto-Käse war sauer, ehrlich gesagt, ich empfehle es nicht zum zweiten Mal! Ich sage nur die Wahrheit!

Il locale piccolo ma delizioso,il cibo buonissimo di qualità Italiana...camerieri attenti al cliente ..consigliatissimo anche per i prezzi...

Ottimo il cibo, il posto ed il servizio!! Da provare!!

Really good cheese and drinks, but they don’t offer free tap water. If I’m already paying for a drink, especially with alcohol, I really want to be able to hydrate with it affordably - especially in 30+ degree heat!

Very good food. The focus is on dishes with cheese. So if you have a lactose problem be warned. The flavors are good but because of the heavy cheese and butter dish I had, I wasn't cappable of doing much afterwards.

great atmosphere.. food is fresh and original, service is nice and quick!

For an unforgettable mozzarella experience, visit this charming Italian restaurant on Auguststraße. Try their diverse selection of mozzarella paired with grilled veggies and excellent Italian wine during lunch. Don't miss the crowd-favorite, burrata mozzarella.

Leuke Italiaanse tapasbar met een gezellig terrasje! Zeer verzorgde hapjes! Zeer vriendelijke ontvangst/bediening. Prijs/kwaliteit top! Zeker een aanrader!

It was a recommendation of a friend but unfortunately was one of the worst experienes in my life. The Aperolspritz was with difference the worst I have ever tasted. The food has not level for the price you pay for. The tables in the terrace are so close from eachothers that you dont have any intimicy. Our dinner was ruined. Totally overrated.

Great restaurant with authentic italian vibe in the most centric area. The pasta is amazing and the service is very friendly.

Nice concept but quite pricey. The mozzarella was nice but didn't taste all that different to what you get in the supermarket, the ravioli was very tasty but not filling at all (for 16,50€ you get about 7 pieces).

Ganz besonderer Ort in der Mitte von Mitte. Lauter nette Leute hier und campari spritz in rauhen Mengen. Mi Piace.

Super schöner Ort mit viel Betrieb in den Abendstunden. Getränke holt man sich im Zweifel an der Theke - muss aber gut und gerne mal 20min anstehen.

As a first time visitor to Berlin, the Mozzarella Bar and Bottega was a welcome first bite. It’s a charming slice of Italy located in a vibrant German neighborhood dotted with picturesque parks, cafes, and shops. We visited on a cool June evening and enjoyed watching Berliners relax, laugh, and enjoy libations in the park across the street. The restaurant has lovely outdoor seating, but we chose to sit inside as there were no outdoor tables available. It’s a little warm (no AC) inside so be prepared for that, but the friendly service and excellent food more than make up for it. They have an extensive wine list and their antipasto selections are excellent. Probably the best prosciutto we’ve ever had. My wife enjoyed her ravioli quite a bit and I highly recommend their lasagna. In a nation known for its bread, that doesn’t disappoint either. The servers are friendly and were gracious enough to converse with us in English. They made the experience so pleasant. If you’re staying in Mitte or nearby visiting the Brandenburg Gate then I highly recommend this restaurant!

The tiramisu is amazing and all the food is great. Lovely atmosphere!

Authentisches italienische Speisen in top Qualität und Lage in gemütlicher Atmosphäre. Hunde sind willkommen 🐕

This is amore!!! Friendly and warm service Samir is a true gem. And the food is always outstanding. Grear attention to details. The atmosphere is casual during the day.I have never been there in the evening, but I tnink it would make a lovely spot for a romantic dinner. Ask for vajane crushke or try the mozzarella tasting menu! :)

Amazing place! Incredible food and staff super friendly. Really recommend it 🫶🏼

This must be on of the most authentic italian restaurants I went, and obviously I came back a few more times! I like the lively service and the fluid rotation they have with the tables and always have a great experience and the food is great! I usually go for the waitress recommendation here and they love to engage with you which makes a next level experience!

Posto molto carino, si mangia molto bene con prezzi giusti, ottimo servizio cordiale ed efficiente. La caponata è semplicemente favolosa, nemmeno nei vari posti dove ho pranzato in Sicilia era così buona. Lo consiglio vivamente.

Gemütliche Location in toller Lage. Super leckerer Mozarella und Burrata. Der grüne Spargel war ebenfalls sehr gut. Eine Reservierung ist empfehlenswert, da das Restaurant gut besucht ist.

Fantastischer Ort für einen gelungenen Abend! Man fühlt sich wie in einem Italien-Kurzurlaub. Die Produkte haben eine tolle Qualität und alles wird exzellent zubereitet. Die Weinauswahl ist wirklich gut und man wird hervorragend beraten. Was den Besuch aber erst richtig besonders macht ist der wirklich herzliche Service - bitte macht weiter so!

Ho cenato con il mio amore in questo ristorante. Ci siamo trovati benissimo, abbiamo ricevuto un'ottima accoglienza con camerieri simpatici e disponibili. Eccellente la qualità del cibo, con sapori e materie prime rigorosamenti doc. ( provenienti dalla Lucania, si consiglia il prosciutto bio, il tortino di patate con pepe crusco e la pasta con ragùdi salsiccia). Ottimo anche il pane casereccio e appena sfornato. Fortemente suggerito, per chi vuol assaggaire a Berlino la vera cucina del sud Italia. Prezzo qualità molto buono.

Ottima cena a base di sapori nostrani genuini e molto raffinati, solo per palati buoni!! Consigliatissimo

Sehr nette italienische Bar mit guten Essen. Es gab Mozarella und Prosciutto von sehr guter Qualität zum Wein. Ich empfehle den tenuta morreale agnello Wein. Der Geschmack erinnert an Honig und Walnuss. Der Wein ist trocken.

Amazing fresh food. All the produce was very high quality. We’ve had the mozzarella tasting menu with vegetables and a lasagne to share between two. Both were highly recommendable and a decent amount of food. Especially the buffalo ricotta was absolutely amazing

Hervorragender Service, exzellente Auswahl an Essen und Getränken...ein Traum aus Bella Italia

This is cute. Very lovely service. Basic, well executed Italian food. No complaints.

Wir waren heute mittag ganz spontan vor Ort und haben draußen schön in der Sonne sitzen können. Das Essen, der Wein, der Service und das gesamte Ambiente haben uns außerordentlich gefallen. Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist top.Vielen lieben Dank 🙏😊

Molto buono, raccomando da italiano!

Sehr eng und sehr voll. Man sitzt als großer Mensch nicht sehr bequem. Guter Service. Speisen waren gut. Preisleistungsverhältnis ist ok.
