Amici Amici in Berlin

Well, the pizza was good. Mixed starter not bad but overpriced at €15 (value of goods max €4). Spaghetti Vongole - lots of pasta, few and tiny mussels... the price/performance ratio wasn't right here either. Wines (bottles) not available on the menu. But at least the courteous boss provided a pleasant alternative. Conclusion: good pizzeria - but unfortunately not anymore.

Hace lo que necesita y lo hace bien. Auténtico, amable y cálido. Los camareros son descarados de una manera entrañable. El bien es abundante y caliente.

There were two of us in the restaurant. The originally prepared spaghetti carbonara was great. The waiter was super friendly and asked directly if the two of us (athletes) would like a bottle of water. Great service, very good ambience. An absolute recommendation.

Great food. Fresh, high quality, well seasoned.

5 star food. Marcos attended us, a crack. I will return when I return to Berlin. 100 percent recommended

Unfriendly, arrogant waiters and overpriced. The only open wine comes from the tap. And: everything at the counter is full of fruit flies (in February).

If I could give zero stars, I would have, but unfortunately I can't.

Good food and Italian flair. It's just that it's a bit cramped everywhere and I can't easily be seated. In the lower part the smell of food is very strong due to the open kitchen. All in all, only conditionally recommended.

The food was very tasty (e.g. the raviolacci with pumpkin filling in cheese cream and the tiramisu) and the service was excellent. We were looked after very well from the first minute and the door was even held open for us when we left. Great!

The waiters were all very friendly. Our pizzas were very tasty. And the dessert was great.

Nice restaurant with friendly people and original taste of Italian pizza. Highly recommended. They’re in my neighborhood so I will try their pasta and will update.

The ambiance was very nice and the pizzas were delicious 🍕

Solid Italian cuisine, attentive service, good location. Everything fits.

I can easily ignore the fact that the food is barely seasoned and sparse. But when the guests at the next table before you are served, even though they arrived and ordered after you, and there is also no eye contact during almost every short service, you feel anything but welcome. THAT will be remembered. Never ever again. Since my "stars" are not taken over by the system: Food: Mediocre ★★ Service: bad ★ Ambience: inviting ★★★

The dough is excellent but the pizzas are tasteless unfortunately, the service is excellent. It's a shame that the ingredients put on the pizzas are not of quality, at least as good as the dough which is crispy and soft. I don't recommend it if you're looking for a good, tasty pizza.

Locale accogliente, proprietario ospitale con cucina ottima e pizzeria eccezionale, per chi trascorre qualche giorno in questa città merita di venire a mangiare in questa trattoria. Consigliatissima!

My husband and I stopped here for dinner during our stay in Berlin. We didn’t have a reservation but the wait staff were able to seat us within a few minutes. We ordered the cacio e pepe and the amici amici pizza. The food itself was great - good portions, the pasta was perfect and the pizza dough was delicious. However, the service was not so good, in fact, the wait staff were quite rude. Tables around us were provided with complementary bread which we didn’t receive, our candle wasn’t lit, difficult to get their attention for another drink, long time to get the bill etc. Small things but really affect the overall atmosphere and comfort of our dining experience.

Warm welcome and excellent cuisine

Wir waren zu fünft mit der gesamten Familie hier. Der Service war sehr aufmerksam und flink. Die Karte ist übersichtlich, aber ausreichend. Alle Speisen wurden nach kurzer Zeit serviert. Die Pasta war auf den Punkt gegart und lecker. Lediglich die Carbonara war zu heiß geworden und etwas Ei gestockt. Dafür war das Wildschwein-Ragout von der Tageskarte perfekt, intensiv und vielschichtig im Geschmack mit zarten Fleischstücken. Die Pizza war knusprig und schmackhaft. Insgesamt ein wirklich empfehlenswertes kleines Restaurant am Mehringdamm ohne viel Chichi, dafür umso mehr Flair und gute Küche.

The two of us were there on a Sunday after the theater around 11 p.m. and got something to eat! Anyone who now knows the largest provincial city in Europe: Berlin, knows that in the "global metropolis" of Berlin, even on Friday or Saturday evening at 11 p.m., apart from numerous kebab stalls, you can hardly find a restaurant where you can sit down, have a drink and have a meal You can order from a friendly, attentive waiter! THANK YOU that there are still such exceptions! The beer was cold and well tapped and the pizza was delicious!

Thank you so much to all workers who are kindly, smileface also special thanks to Mr. Ben. We tasted the pastas and pizzası aspecially pizza with fungis are very delicious and absolutely you shoul tray berliner which is green

I spontaneously had lunch alone and have to say that I not only enjoyed it but also really enjoyed it. Great restaurant with nice service and good food! Price performance fits 100%! Thank you

It's been a long time since I've had such delicious pasta

Very tasty, juicy and well-topped pizza, only the knives could be a little sharper

I had pinsa and arrancini balls delivered to me via Wolt. The meat in the balls was disgusting. The pinsa arrived cold and didn't taste good. That was my last time ordering in this restaurant

Always beautiful. An Italian Italian.

The pizza was nice and hot. The service was very quick and friendly. We always enjoy coming here.

Honestly the best pizza I’ve ever had, service was also amazing

We ate there today, unfortunately very disappointed this time We were here 3 weeks ago and loved the pasta Unfortunately today it was the complete opposite - the pasta had too much salt and was unfortunately too hard And the sauce was different too It wasn't like the last time We will still come back and hope that things get better again Unfortunately, the service also seemed very annoyed

So far we are... ... always enjoyed coming here - we only visited once a year, but the food was always good and the service was attentive. Unfortunately this time it was completely different. We were already hungry and craving pasta in the afternoon. Since the Amici Amici is open all day and we were traveling nearby, we went there with anticipation. The restaurant was empty except for two tables. However, we were then assigned a rather uncomfortable corner table by the stairs. The female waiter brought us the menu briefly and succinctly and not very friendly. Nobody came to order for a while. Finally, the order was taken just as quickly. By the time our food arrived, we noticed that the original waitress had apparently gone off work or had a break. In addition, the evening business was prepared. After a while of waiting, our food was brought to us. Unfortunately, it was no longer comparable to our memories. One of the noodles was hard, the second dish wasn't really warm and both of them didn't taste the same as on previous visits. Due to the previous operating procedure and the rather unfriendly manner, we decided not to complain. At the neighboring table, a schnapps or espresso was offered when paying - but not with us. During our visit we were disappointed by both the unfriendly service and the food - even though there were almost no guests present. The price-performance ratio was not right in our case.

... immer wieder gerne hierhergekommen – wir waren zwar maximal einmal im Jahr zu Gast, aber das Essen war immer gut und der Service aufmerksam. Diese Mal war es leider ganz anders. Wir hatten am Nachmittag schon Hinger und Lust auf Nudeln. Da das Amici Amici durchgehend geöffnet hat und wir in der Nähe unterwegs waren, sind wir mit Vorfreude hin. Das Lokal war bis auf zwei Tische unbesetzt. Uns wurde dann jedoch ein eher ungemütlicher Ecktisch an der Treppe zugewiesen. Die weibliche Bedienung hat uns dann kurz und knapp und wenig freundlich die Speisekarte gebracht. Zur Bestellung ist dann einige Zeit niemand gekommen. Schließlich wurde die Bestellung ebenso knapp aufgenommen. Bis unser Essen kam, haben wir mitbekommen, dass die ursprüngliche Bedienung anscheinend in Feierabend oder Pause gegangen ist. Außerdem wurde das Abendgeschäft vorbereitet. Nach einiger Wartezeit wurde uns unser Essen hingestellt. Leider war es mit unserer Erinnerung nicht mehr zu vergleichen. Die einen Nudeln waren hart, das zweite Gericht nicht richtig warm und außerdem waren beide geschmacklich nicht mehr wie bei vorherigen Besuchen. Aufgrund des bisherigen Bedienungsablaufes und der eher unfreundlichen Art haben wir auf eine Reklamation verzichtet. Am Nachbartisch wurde beim Bezahlen noch ein Schnaps oder Espresso angeboten - bei uns nicht. Wir wurden bei dem Besuch sowohl vom unfreundlichen Service als auch vom Essen enttäuscht – und das, obwohl fast keine Gäste anwesend waren. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis hat in unserem Fall nicht gepasst.

Do not order to takeout this pizza

For 20 years, whenever I'm in Berlin, I've always gone to Amici Amici (formerly Amici Miei). A culinary delight!

Pasta extremely delicious! Service unfortunately a bit slow, but still nice. Unfortunately the antipasti plate was very bad (cheap mozzarella etc.).

Probably the most lifeless Aglio e Olio I have ever eaten in my life.

Super tasty 💓 Super friendly Super originals ✓ not a star restaurant, but!! close, highly recommended

Very authentic Italian Great service, very tasty food and fair prices! We'd love to come back! VG from Hamburg

I frequently go to this Italian restaurant, regularly, the food is good but last time I went the RAGÚ dish was not even close to what I expected, it left a lot to be desired... A shame because I am a Chef and I have a delicate but adaptable palate to the new Textures and Flavors but the last dish I ate disappointed me. They will perfuse themselves:...What if I would continue, would I give it a chance or would I come back, you ask? Well, the R. is Yes. Since they generally have Good Dishes, Good Wines, Good Atmosphere and last but NEVER the least IMPORTANT, Good CUSTOMER SERVICE....

Very nice!! Incredibly good pizza!!

Restaurant typique italien avec des serveurs qui parlent italien. Nous avons pris des pâtes qui étaient succulentes et faites maison. Le vin était de très bonne qualité aussi. Pas une fausse note.

Really Italian; Nice service, you are valued as a guest. I come here often and am always greeted in a friendly manner. (Pizza Ortolana TRUST!)

Tempering my expectations is a lifetime endeavour. Just back from Torino, I had to judge this place based on Berlin standards. Those who know me will know that's an oxymoron to me. But hey, I came, I ate cleanly and left having eaten hand made, real food. That's an achievement in the par bake capital of the world (no joke, it makes Singapore look like regional France.) So, yeah, if you need a quick carbon fix at a decent price, it fits.

Waited over an hour for extremely greasy and tasteless pasta....👎

Great food quality and service excellent

Unfortunately, my visit to Amici Amici was a bitter disappointment. I was looking forward to the truffle pasta, but the dish was literally overloaded with butter, so the delicate truffle flavor was completely lost. It felt more like a greasy mess that was heavy on the stomach. The biggest annoyance however was the service. It took over an hour for our food to finally arrive, even though the restaurant wasn't overly busy. During this long wait there was hardly any feedback or apologies from the staff. Even when the food was finally served, the service wasn't particularly attentive or friendly. In summary: The food was disappointing, the service was subpar. For the price and the ambience I definitely expected more. Unfortunately no recommendation.

Very tasty, delicious, highly recommended

Amici Amici is truly a wonderful restaurant. As soon as you enter, you notice the pleasant atmosphere and the lovingly designed furnishings. The waiters are friendly and authentic - you immediately feel welcome and in good hands. The food is a real highlight. Not only does it taste great, but it is also of the best quality. You can tell that a lot of emphasis is placed on fresh and high-quality ingredients here. Another great detail is the open kitchen. It's fun to watch the chefs prepare the dishes and experience the fresh ingredients directly on site. The restaurant's balcony is a little paradise. With its lush plants, it offers a green, relaxing oasis that makes the enjoyment of eating even more enjoyable. A little tip: On weekends or evenings it is advisable to reserve in advance as the restaurant fills up quickly. Overall, I highly recommend Amici Amici. It offers a perfect combination of great service, delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere in the middle of Berlin-Kreuzberg.

Delicious. I can recommend. I can only recommend making a reservation.

Good pizza, the service was ok.

Delicious salads. Noodles still raw and not enough shrimp. Overpriced for the quality of the food. The waiter who served us seemed very unfriendly.

Warm welcome, great service. We were served by Nunzio, thank you for his professionalism and friendliness. We recommend this establishment.

Just had dinner there I'm thrilled the pasta is like in Italy I will come here regularly from now on The ambience is also right

Unfortunately the pasta portion is very clear. Unfortunately it's a bit small for the price. Unfortunately, the Cola and Fanta we ordered is not an original Cola/Fanta. Unfortunately our table top was no longer completely solid. She wobbled while eating. With the pizza you had to work very hard to even get it cut with a dull knife. The positive thing was the nice waiter. The food was also generally delicious. We didn't have to wait long for our food and in the end you could easily pay by card.

Our waiter was super personable. The food was also tasty and the ambience was really great

Everything doesn't work, staff, service, prices, food. NOTHING!

Very tasty pizza, very good service and very good location, simply top! Gladly again

Spontaneously went to Mehringdamm and saw the Amici Amici! Actually we just wanted to go for a quick pizza. When we wanted to order, the waiter recommended the T-bone steak! Which I then took. The steak looked excellent and was being processed in front of my eyes with a small Bunsen burner, or rather the rosemary sprig on it. The food was really excellent. The waiter was also very happy that I was so happy about the great food. The food, service and ambience were great.

So lecker, alles frisch gekocht, super freundlich und humorvoll. Wir waren so begeistert, dass wir am nächsten Abend gleich nochmal hin gekommen sind.

Wir haben in unseren Ferien in Berlin 2x hier gegessen. Jedes Mal war der Service super freundlich und engagiert - trotz voll besetzem Lokal. Und das Essen war sensationell lecker. Hier wird noch gekocht - nicht nur gewärmt. Das schmeckt man. Auch der Hauswein ist absolut zu empfehlen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Great staff ❤️ Delicious food 😊

This is one of my favorite pizza places in Berlin. They have very good authentic pizzas and other dishes as well. The drinks are nice. The service is very kind and friendly and I can recommend this place to everyone that is passing by or we just want to try good pizza in Central Berlin

Really lovely, friendly service and excellent food :-) 5 stars for both of those! We sat outside on the balcony which is super pretty. It's on a really noisy road but you don't feel like that when you're sat there (until the police/fire engines/ambulances go past :-)) as they've made it really lovely.

Delicious food, portions could be a little larger. The service was a bit crazy, but friendly.

Always a pleasure, at Amici Amici you always feel like you are with friends, good atmosphere and good dishes, good products and typical Italian and Sicilian products! ARANICINE BUONISSIME.

Very slow and expensive. But the burrata was fresh.

I can confirm the reviews that were satisfied with the taste, but complained about the small portions (burrata, vitello tonnato). The homemade dessert, on the other hand, was great and sufficient in quantity. And I have never come across an Italian restaurant in Berlin that doesn't offer schnapps on the house! We found value for money to be rather poor. We used to like the restaurant much better. Mehringdamm is now hip, tourists are coming and business is just that way. Very unfortunate.

Stable Italian restaurant, service is really great.

Abbiamo pranzato in questo ristorante in tre: una pizza molto buona, migliore di alcune mangiate in Italia; un piatto di caserecce con le polpette e un sugo delizioso; un piatto di orecchiette buone. Piatti dal sapore taliano, cucinati da italiani e serviti da italiani. Il cameriere piemontese (non gli abbiamo chiesto il nome, peccato) è stato davvero simpatico, professionale e gentilissimo nel rispondere alle domande di mio figlio sulla sua situazione di italiano a Berlino. Dimenticavo: il prezzo a pranzo è onestissimo e le porzioni abbondanti (pizza, due primi, due coca cola e un acqua: meno di 59€) Consigliatissimo per chi ha nostalgia dei sapori italiani!

First-class Sicilian cuisine. Super friendly service. (Man with glasses) Highly recommended.

What a great local! Am very satisfied. The waiter with the glasses is super nice.

I recommend you to try this stylish and pleasant Italian restaurant, which we came across by chance. The staff are friendly and the food is delicious.

I haven't eaten pizza this good in a long time

Nice alfresco dining in the evening

Superb place especially if you want to have a great place with friends. Quality-price relation is splendid. I strongly recommend it.

The atmosphere is wonderfully Italian. Amici Amici is located directly on Mehringdamm in Kreuzberg, unpretentious and with a pretty little terrace. We ate very well and were looked after with great attention. Good service has become rare and therefore even more valuable.

I would really like to give a better review. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is pleasant, the prices are fair and the location is very convenient for me. I have been a guest here again and again over the years. Unfortunately, there have been unpleasant incidents on my last three visits, so I no longer want to come here. 1) My partner at the time and I wanted to meet here for dinner after work. She unexpectedly finished earlier, went to the restaurant earlier, ordered and ate, but unfortunately I didn't make it until the agreed time. Several times during our visit I had to listen to people telling me how I could keep a pretty woman waiting for so long. If we had blocked a table for too long in a full restaurant, I could have easily understood a complaint about that (and only that). The restaurant was pretty empty that evening and had many free tables. I have a thick skin when it comes to inappropriate comments made against me. My partner found the comments really unpleasant and the evening was ruined. 2) Nevertheless, after a few weeks we gave the restaurant a second chance. My partner ordered pasta and got grated cheese with it. The waiter theatrically sprinkled it over the noodles. As the evening progressed, he came by several times and kept throwing more cheese onto her plate unexpectedly and without being asked. My partner is peace personified. I have never seen her so angry, she even complained. The waiter apologized profusely when he realized that his joke wasn't well received. In that sense: don't worry about this specific incident. Nevertheless, it spoiled the evening and my overall impression of the restaurant. 3) A few months later I reserved a table here again with my parents. Unfortunately, the restaurant recorded the reservation incorrectly, so there was no table available. The mistake was the restaurant's fault, which was clearly clarified and undisputed. We were told to stand at the bar and wait until a table became available. There was no space here either, guests and staff were constantly jostling or being shooed out of the way. We couldn't be told how long it would take before we could be accommodated. When I asked politely after 15 minutes, I was scolded harshly. After more than half an hour we finally got a table. Unfortunately, the mood had suffered at that point. Over the last few months I've been thinking about whether I should give the restaurant another chance. Taken individually, I don't think each of the three incidents was so bad that I would no longer visit the restaurant. All in all, after the last three visits, I no longer feel like it. Maybe the review will help get these problems under control. Then it would actually be a nice restaurant that I could recommend without reservation.

Lovely food and good atmosphere, all dishes were really nice. I was served by Riccardo which was very attentive and friendly. Great service and food.

Hello, Yesterday, we visited your restaurant. We were looking for something Italian and quick before our evening program. I had spaghetti, and my friend had risotto. We were served by a nice young lady who was very kind and pleasant to look at. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about your food. The risotto was terrible and not good at all. It cost almost 18 euros, and on the plate, it looked like someone had, well... it was disgusting. My spaghetti was also not good. We ate something because we didn't have time and we were hungry. However, we didn't feel well in the evening. I didn't want to deal with it there because we are on vacation and I didn't want to ruin our evening. The Aperol was probably the best thing we had there. So please tell the chefs to improve because I haven't had such bad food in a long time. I give the food 1 star because, both in taste and appearance, you have a lot to learn. For service and atmosphere, I give 5 stars since the young lady and the other employees treated us nicely. Mark

Food, ambience and service A1. You really can't complain about anything. Central location, with outdoor area in summer, delicious pizza and pasta dishes. Best Italian restaurant in Berlin! Plus real traditional Italian cuisine.

Bad service and unfriendly operation. Have to accept a long waiting time. It's a shame that regular guests are. The food was still good.

Good food and the dishes are plentiful

Been coming here since it started as a small corner shop in 2006. I was at Amici Amici very regularly until 2015 because I lived in Berlin and now I live in Hamburg and come over occasionally. But I can truly say that almost every dish is perfect every time. It starts with the fact that the bread with a Sicilian welcome is super delicious. The pasta is always prepared al dente. The burata tastes good. The pizzas are classic. The Pecorino wine is super delicious. All of this at Berlin prices. In Hamburg, where I live, you can only dream of something like this in this location and price range. Renato's team is always authentic, typically Italian and the atmosphere at the infamous intersection in the really beautiful, historic house is fantastic. X-berg at its best. A must for me on my Berlin trip.

Pizza Benito... AVOID AVOID AVOID

Stumbled on this place for an earley tea before the madness of the football quarter final Holland v turkey big bowl of penne Arabata washed down with a big beer. Waiters were very obliging and food tasty with a big portion

There were five of us from Switzerland in Berlin. We spontaneously visited the restaurant around 11 p.m. David and Marco were very welcoming and gave us a few tips for our Berlin trip. Pizza and pasta were very good. We'd love to come back! Thank you, David and Marco!

Very tasty food. Extremely friendly staff. You are in good hands here.

Waaaw i payed and he didnt wont to give me my change back i needed to ask him for my rest of my money the guy with eye glasses

Food was very tasty. Portions a bit too small for my taste.

The food was rather average. The pasta was partly more hard than al dente and the rice in the risotto would have benefited from 5 more minutes (I know it's supposed to still have some bite but it was definitely too firm). Overall, the dishes lacked a bit of spice and character. The space outside on the far corner of the intersection was of course extremely loud, it's just our city 🙃 The ambience in the interior is very nicely designed, with warm colors and images. The service was friendly and attentive. If I came back, I would just sit inside and try the pizza, maybe that would work better.

Lovely place for dinner with the family. Service was excellent pizza and pasta was delicious. Would definitely recommend

I highly recommend trying the arancini, too good! 😋😋😋

Hearty and affordable meal. Of course, it's not haute cuisine, it's more simple and good meals in a friendly atmosphere.

Great corner restaurant on a main intersection to sit outside on a sunny day and watch the world go buy , the service was good and staff where very nice

Warm atmosphere, good Italian standard. Always reliable and lovely balcony.

You felt unwanted, tables were packed very tightly together, acoustics were impossible because the noise from Mehringdamm had to be drowned out first. The waiter formally urged you to order, not to choose anything in peace. Portions were ridiculously small and just a swoon-worthy snack at prices that were really exorbitant. BUT IT WAS VERY GOOD IN TASTE (the kitchen gets the star) the rest would be minus. It was never asked if anything else was wanted and plates/glasses were cleared away rudely and without eye contact (confirming that it was undesirable). It's amazing that a restaurant operator can afford something like that in today's times. Regular guests are not wanted or necessary for the business (cheers to tourism) NEVER AGAIN Answer: Friday We had a soup ladle of smooth "shrimp" risotto with 1 shrimp and this in two parts, half in the shell (impossible) for an impressive 18.90 euros and 8 beetroot gnocchi for 16.90, really utopian and both should pass as a starter and cost at most half as much. An expensive treat for an empty stomach.

Fast and friendly service. The quality of the food does not correspond to the menu Morzarella de Bufalo was made from cow's milk! This results in excessive prices! There are better Italians!

Magnificent and well-kept terrace, friendly and kind service, plentiful but above all delicious dishes.. It felt like we were truly in Italy

Super nice service, the salad and pizza were so delicious, always a pleasure and it's so pretty, especially in summer you can sit outside upstairs 🌸

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in Berlin, even before it was renovated and expanded.

We had lunch here on a Sunday. The food was quite good. The restaurant was very full, with all tables inside and outside being completely occupied, which overwhelmed the staff. We waited a long time to get drinks and then the food. Apart from that, the staff was friendly and tried their best. We sat outside by the street, which was extremely loud as the restaurant is located on the cross section of main roads. Police cars, cars horning, etc. tainted the atmosphere.
