Amici Amici in Berlin

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.

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.

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!)

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.

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

Good pizza, the service was ok.

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

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

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.

Stable Italian restaurant, service is really great.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

I was there yesterday and it was a wonderful atmosphere, right on Mehringdamm. The waiter came immediately, very courteous and personable. We ordered pizzas and we didn't have to wait long for them. You immediately notice that fresh products are used and are excellently prepared. I can only warmly recommend the Bresaoula Pizza!!

No hello, no goodbye. We brought the wrong things several times and aggressively asked what we wanted even though we had already ordered. Weird shop. I'm not so sure whether they even like people or are oversaturated and are now unloading their frustration on their customers. But it will definitely work with walk-in customers.

The staff seemed particularly attentive or friendly. We had to ask for our orders multiple times and it took a long time to even get any attention. The atmosphere in the restaurant wasn't particularly inviting either, which made the long wait even more frustrating. All in all, it just wasn't a pleasant experience. In addition to the slow service and unpleasant atmosphere, the quality of the food was also disappointing. The dishes were carelessly prepared and tasted bland and boring. It lacked freshness and the portions were rather small. For the price we paid we definitely expected more. All in all, visiting this restaurant was a disappointment and I would not recommend it.

I'm a typical "country bumpkin" and very enthusiastic! Top service, very accommodating. Pizza tastes great! Even the large crust without toppings is very tasty, great dough! We sat outside and it's basically a cinema at the big intersection :D great restaurant, looks authentic!

Rude waiter , Terrible service! I’ve been to many places around the world and never seen a disappointing service like in this place !! I will NEVER comeback and simply avoid this place!!

The Italian restaurant Amici Amici is located in the middle of the nightlife zone. We were lucky and spontaneously got a place outside. The Calamaretti with salad as a starter was superb, the Taglionlino Tartu had plenty of truffles. In addition to good food and good service, there is also a lot going on next to the table and around the street intersection. See and be seen. If you're lucky, you might even meet TV celebrities in the restaurant from time to time.

Really good pizza with nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

The food is amazing (we had the pizza). Very fresh, and real classic Italian pizza. The table covers and the light on the tables look a bit cheap and didn't really represent the classic Italian environment, that's the only reason I would prefer to give it 4.5 if I could.

Amazing pizza!! Came here with some friends for a late dinner and we were very pleased with the service & food. Prices are quite reasonable as well. Highly recommend the pizza alla norma 🤌🏼

Food was ok, nice pizza and salad. Service was super rude and aggressive, and atmosphere is chaotic since the place is in a busy area

Rude, unprofessional and shameful! I have never experienced such arrogance, rudeness and unprofessional behavior from a waiter. I visited the restaurant twice and thought maybe the first time was an isolated incident, but I encountered the same waiter (short and southern looking) who displayed the same attitude and even increased his rudeness. My guest felt so uncomfortable that she started crying! He completely ruined our evening and we had to leave immediately. Unfortunately I have to say he has no respect for human decency! Save your time and go somewhere else! DEFINITELY AVOID THIS RESTAURANT!!! Rude, unprofessional, and shameful! I have never experienced such arrogance, rudeness, and unprofessional behavior from a waiter before. I visited the establishment twice, thinking perhaps the first time was an isolated incident, but encountered the same waiter (short with a Mediterranean appearance) displaying the same attitude, and even doubling down on his rudeness. He made my guest feel so uncomfortable that she started to cry! He completely ruined our evening and we had to leave immediately. I am sorry to say, but he has no regard for basic human decency! Save your time and go elsewhere! DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!!"

Delicious pizza, very nice waitress.

Very friendly welcome, excellent pizzas

Pizza too small in size for my taste. Way too much dough that isn't topped. Most of the pizza is missing cheese. Hole in the tablecloth. Topping spread carelessly. No pepper on the table for steaks. There are also not enough side dishes for the steak dish. Nothing on the house when you go. Overall disappointing and not good value for money. It looked so cute from the outside but I won't look at it again from the inside for now.

the pizza is to die for and they sprinkle on some olive oil which really brings out the taste 10/10 pizza could not recommend more! the staff are incredibly lovely and they slice portion in the amici amici shop next door is perfect for on the go :)

Very tasty food and great quick service even on Easter Sunday. Highly recommend

It was pretty good but the food was a little bit too spicy. They have a very delicious bread with great olive oil. The staff was very nice and friendly.

We were lucky enough to have dinner in this restaurant, very tasty food, staff, very polite and welcoming, really good people, we thank you very much for hosting us, I would like to say as members of the family, thank you for everything and who knows maybe until the next occasion that we will happen again both in Berlin

Even though it was very busy we got a table without a reservation. Delicious food and great service at solid prices.

Der klassische italienische Flair des Restaurants hat unseren Abend zu zweit romantisch und gemütlich gemacht. Wir wurden äußerst freundlich und professionell empfangen und die Atmosphäre war sehr nett, gewitzt und ein bisschen familiär. Die Pizza ist super lecker und schmeckt original italienisch. Der Salat hat leider nur aus Blattgrün und zwei traurigen halben Tomaten bestanden - für 7€ leider völlig überteuert. Leider wurde unsere Reservierung vergessen, sodass wir nicht an einem von uns extra gewünschten ruhigen Platz sitzen konnten - schade an einem runden Geburtstag. Für dieses Missgeschick hätten wir uns wenigstens über einen Grappa aufs Haus gefreut. Insgesamt können wir die Pizzeria trotzdem sehr empfehlen!

A friend and I called in for dinner on a Friday evening without a reservation. The place was very busy but the manager offered us seats at the bar. The service ( prompt and friendly) and food were excellent and great value. I would definitely recommend but would book in advance next time!

Good location. The reason for my rating is a bad pizza and a very bad service.

We tried pizza and pasta. So delicious. There are polite, friendly and helpful employees. I really liked that they gave me the chance to choose the type of pasta for seafood pasta. Every time I go to Berlin, I will definitely come for dinner My Amici 🙋🏻♂️

Great service and good food centrally on Mehringdamm. Definitely a recommendation.

Italian approved!! I was in Berlin at the weekend and was looking for a good Italian restaurant near me. The food was excellent, authentic and the staff was very friendly. Pizza from the stone oven, homemade fresh bread and fantastic olive oil - you can get it all here. When asked, it was actually confirmed that a large part of the staff was Sicilian, which made me very happy as a Sardinian. The atmosphere was also nice, the store was full, that speaks for itself. Great recommendation!

Pizza is simply fantastic... not to mention the tarts! A real Italian, as one could only wish for. The restaurant was very lively and we liked it.

Authentically Italian and friendly service. :)

Very nice service our waiter Nabil he is very professional, the service wonderful and the food delicious 😋

Nice personel Beautiful Italian atmosphere And perfect food

Very cute and authentic Italian in a popping area. Arrabbiata and pizza were tasty. Many tables reserved on a Tuesday but still found us a place to sit. Tasty wine.

Great Italian restaurant, better than the usual pizzeria standard.

Very cozy, not always the best table but the atmosphere makes up for it. Very good food, very cozy, just awesome.

Place at a busy junction and quite full usually on weekends. Even though the food was flavourful and delicious, i was quite disappointed at the service. The staff tries to ignore your presence till they wish to serve you.
