AMON Restaurant & Bar in Berlin

Since I love Italian food, a visit was a must. We weren't disappointed, quite the opposite. Highly recommended.

€8 for tap water? Really? Even filtered, that's outrageous. And when I asked, they didn't even have bottled water. The food was good, though not excellent. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. The music was a bit too loud in an already fairly noisy atmosphere.

The service was great, the restaurant is clean and tidy and the food is excellent. The menu changes every three to four months, so be aware of that. The food however, tastes amazing and is worth the price. It’s not expensive, it’s reasonable and worth it for the delicious food you get. The portions are perfect, too.

Good place. Meals of the day are very delicious. Menu is not big and this is advantage. Wine list could be more interesting.

Wow, wow, wow — what an experience! We were five people, and we couldn’t stop enjoying every single dish. The food at AMON Restaurant in Berlin was absolutely incredible, full of authentic Italian flavors and prepared with real passion. The service was exceptional as well, making us feel as if we were dining in a Michelin-star restaurant. Truly outstanding and highly recommended.

(Disclaimer/ I cannot comment on the food and to be fair the setting of the restaurant atmosphere etc looked ok.) I had made a reservation to Amon but booked the wrong day - it was totally my mistake and I don’t deny it. But I had a business guest with me and it was just the 2 of us at a 8.30 pm on a weekday. The manager/ host made 0 effort to accommodate - even though there were bar seating available and another table at the back. Now he didn’t have an obligation to go the extra mile but I was embarrassed in front of my guest and I would’ve been so grateful if he had come to my rescue. It’s these little things that make a difference. I get a lot of business guests and had been looking for a new go-to restaurant in the neighbourhood and now instead of Amon it will be the other equally highly rated Italian restaurant around the corner.

Good food in a pleasant Italian atmosphere. Excellent and attentive service.

Very good restaurant, reasonable prices considering the location (near Unter den Linden). Service was a little slow, but that's a consequence of its success.

A very good experience and really very good!!

Nice restaurant. The service was great. We had to wait a little bit for our mains but they did a rare thing…they recognized the wait and apologized for it. The food itself was average but tasty.

We had a wonderful time at Amon. The service was impeccable and the food was amazing. Special mention for the excellent risotto, though it was a little spicy ;) Highly recommended!

We found Amon Restaurant on a rainy midday, based on the good reviews. And we were not sorry for choosing the place. The food turned out to be delicious and the waiter was very friendly. A place we recommend.

I had 3 days in Berlin and I came here for 2 lunches on 2 separate days (it was raining heavily and it was 1 degree celsius) even though my hotel is not near. That is all you need to know about this place (: you have to try the fettuccine and a bottle of whatever wine they recommend.

Excellent food and service - although it took a while, they were always communicative and helpful. We were lucky and got a table without a reservation, but if you want one it's best to call and book. I recommend it!

Very good place. Nice atmosphere,very friendly staff,very good service The food is good. A little bit expensive. I enjoyed a lot.

There were three of us at this very nice, centrally located restaurant. We received a friendly and courteous welcome, and the service was extremely attentive. The menu isn't very extensive, but there was something for everyone. For starters, we had cream of pumpkin soup with a small, not particularly soft bread roll. The soup was unfortunately unspectacular in taste, but otherwise fine. For main courses, we ordered pasta dishes (Norma Sicilia, Carbonara Latio, and Buscaiola). Everything was very nicely presented, and the chef explained the dishes. The portions weren't large, but they were sufficient. Taste is always subjective, but just as with the soup, we were neither disappointed nor delighted. The dishes, along with a Coke, a bottle of water, and a glass of white wine, resulted in a bill of €110.

We were delighted by the friendly and humorous service and the delicious food. The Caprese is highly recommended.

Super good service. Our young waiter took care of us throughout the evening. The food tasted really good and was fresh with good ingredients from Italy. Definitely recommended!

A wonderfully friendly team with extremely good service and incredibly good food. We were welcomed with open arms and given absolutely fantastic advice. Even our dog was given fresh water and a quiet spot while we unwinded with good wine and freshly prepared, authentic delicacies. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

Excellent restaurant, pleasant atmosphere reminiscent of Italian stereotypes. As Italians accustomed to our excellent cuisine, we are usually disappointed when we go to eat Italian food, but this was an excellent choice: Italian chef, excellent food, and very kind staff!

A small but fine and very select menu with daily specials and real Italian no-gos; for example, you won't get parmesan with spaghetti and oysters here.

One of the best Italian restaurants in Berlin. Delicious food and excellent, very attentive service. We felt very comfortable and come here regularly for lunch and dinner. It's now my favorite Italian restaurant.

Nice place unfortunately my carbonara was overloaded with pepper and unpleasant. The wine was great and starter delicious but please do not put so much pepper in the main course and let your guest choose the seasoning.

The restaurant is ok. Friendly service, good food, but not 5 stars...

Amazing waiter (from Uraguay), very knowledgeable and welcoming. Unbelievable food.

Very good Italian restaurant. Excellent service.

The food is great and the staff are super friendly. I highly recommend it. I always enjoy going there.

The food was okay: the truffle pasta lacked sauce and finesse, and it wasn't really warm. The caponata was okay in terms of both taste and appearance, as was the shrimp pasta. We enjoyed the wine. The service was friendly and engaging, but they had to serve many tables at once, so it took a long time.

Came 2 nights before and unfortunately the restraurantwas full. Came back this night and the host remembered me. Everyone in the front of house was very welcoming and kind. Food and atmosphere were great!

Absolutely the best Carbonara I’ve ever had! 😍 Perfected by a most courteous service, cozy atmosphere, and an amazingly tasty glass of red wine. Highest of recommendations for AMON! 💖

My Fiance had an amazing time at Amon restaurant! our waiter Pedro, was super kind, friendly, and chatty, he made us feel very comfortable the minute we walked inside the restaurant. He recommended the risotto and it was honestly the best I’ve ever had. We had the tiramisu and it was perfectly balanced, rich but not overwhelming, and the cappuccino along with the tiramisu was the perfect finish to the meal. The restaurant had a cozy, homey vibe with family photos on the walls that made it feel like we were dining in an Italian family’s home. The food was incredible, and Pedro made sure we were well taken care of, never letting our water glass go empty. It’s crazy to say, but this Italian restaurant felt more authentic than any we tried in Venice when we were there in 2023, hands down the best Italian food experience we’ve had, and it was in Berlin! I highly recommend! 10/10.

Great service and fantastic carbonara! No cream, just with egg yolk and a special pepper, just as it should be. Very tasty, interesting, and authentic! The beautiful location is also perfect, right near Gendarmenmarkt.

Randomly walking by this restaurant me and my fiancée decided to try an Italian restaurant it’s was our greatest decision such an amazing food and experience it’s was for real the greatest carbonara I ever had in my life and our waiter Pedro was so friendly everything there was amazing very recommended restaurant!!!

Incredible. Carb up before Berlin! Genuine Italian service and even better food.

Wow, wow, wow — this is authentic Italian food, absolutely delicious! And Angelo is an amazing person — he explains everything patiently with a smile. When he serves the dishes, he even gives helpful tips, like mixing the cheese properly to enjoy the pasta at its best. The owner is truly lucky to have him!

Wonderful! This is exactly what an Italian should be.

I’ve tried Pasta all over the world and all over Italy. I can say that the pasta here, especially the carbonara, is really top notch. Fresh pasta, amazing taste. Like in Italy. I’d say best Carbonara in Berlin for sure. Love it! Waiters are kind and knowledgeable. I have two improvement suggestions for the menu: - Add a Ragu alla Bolognese dish to the menu. The chef is from Bologna - I’m sure it would be amazing. - Offer a real Tiramisu. The one you have now is nice, but it’s actually mostly Mascarpone with chocolate on top. A real delicious tiramisu would be great! Keep it up 🥳🇮🇹🍝

Thank so much! Regards since Samara, Rusia. Please support my travel agency "Senderismo de Élite"

Walked past this place twice, each time it looked, so we booked a reservation, it was fantastic! Totally recommend it

We had the pleasure of being served by Philip. He is an absolute delight. Great advice and attentive service. My plate was amazing I took the soup of the day and the plate of the day upon our server's advice. The only reson for the 2 stars on food and 4 on service is my gf asked for parmesan right away and was asked to taste it before. Food is amazing but this is a high end Italian restaurant period. We had to ask to change my God's plate and it came out way too salty. Pastas are going to be aldente. This is how they make it. Great place great service just know what you're getting into. I loved my plate my gf who chose the place, not so much.

I've rarely enjoyed such good pasta! 👍🏼

We received a friendly welcome and enjoyed a delicious meal at a reasonable price. The cold soup of the day was surprising and stimulating.

Excellent Sicilian olive oil produced by the owner's family. Tagliolini with truffle and quality eggplant parmigiana. The owner is extremely kind and professional.

Very cute place with beautiful atmosphere and service.. but food is average and overpriced.. we took 2 pastas truffles and seafood and both were ok. Nothing to be excited for but very expensive for such portions and quality

We had a great meal here. All of the dishes were well made with well balanced flavours. Their own spin on tiramisu was also a nice addition. The service from Gerónimo (Pedro) was great

Good atmosphere and very friendly staff. Loved their lasagna

We discovered this restaurant by chance. We enjoyed some wonderful, fresh, homemade pasta and were delighted to meet the owner. Excellent service and great food. Highly recommended if you're in Berlin and want to eat well.

The food and wines were of very high quality; the pasta carbonara was delicious and very authentic. The caprese was highly recommended, and the tiramisu with dark chocolate was served in a cup. Overall, it's highly recommended and the value for money is reasonable.

Delicious cuisine. Simple and flavorful. Definitely try the unique tiramisu.

A lovely, quiet Italian restaurant with friendly staff and reasonable prices. Definitely recommended.

Close to perfection with this great Italian cuisine. From the carbonara to the tiramisu, everything was above expectations.

Great pizza and tiramisu, 3 on the dice for the panna cotta.

A True Taste of Italy at Its Finest Dining at AMON Restaurant – Cucina Italiana was nothing short of exceptional. The food was incredibly flavorful, with a refined and balanced palate that speaks of true culinary craftsmanship. Each dish felt carefully composed, delivering that pura gioia, pure joy, that only authentic Italian cuisine can offer. The wines were outstanding, each glass perfectly complementing the meal and elevating the experience. What truly made the evening unforgettable, however, was the impeccable service, warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate. The setting was elegant yet relaxed, a perfect backdrop for what turned out to be a magical Italian evening. My only regret? That I can’t find this level of quality and atmosphere in Amsterdam, where I live. But who knows, forse un giorno. Grazie mille, AMON. We’ll be back. Loek 🕊🥂

Cozy and classy atmosphere on a rainy day. Open kitchen made for excellent ambiance. Excellent pasta of the day dish! Only disappointment was 3.5 euro charge for 0.5 liter of ordinary tap water; order wine or beer (cheaper) instead!

Ambience: When I arrived, I felt a bit underdressed in casual clothes, but that's deceptive. Service: The service was friendly and very humorous, without seeming less than professional. They gave us time to chat without making us wait too long for our food. Food: Starter Small breads, warm and crispy. The soup of the day was a delicious sweet potato soup with a bit of guanciale. In a vegetarian version, the soup might have been a bit bland. Food: Main Course We had the various pasta dishes, and in one word, fantastic.

Very friendly waiter. I believe he came from South America. He made our visit even more special. And the food was absolutely amazing!

Such a cute place! Found this place by accident when i was scrolling through google maps and i did not regret coming in. Ambience was totally cozy and it felt like your small, cozy neighborhood restaurant. Really enjoyed every single menu i ordered. The service was on point and i felt really taken care of. Tried a new type of pasta here too called Bigoli, the waitress was able to explain to me in detail what Bigoli is. Loved how unique the texture was. Also +++ points for the olive oil that they served me. Amazing. I had never really tried a high quality olive oil until just now. Super love ❤️❤️

Very attentive service. The food took a little longer to arrive, but was delicious. Both the Qasi Caprese appetizer and the main courses of spaghetti carbonara, parmigiana, and the wonderful caponata were delicious.

Very good authentic Italian food and nice staff.

Truly an exceptional and excellent experience! I have been eating spaghetti’s all over the globe and I can comfortably say that it is truly the place that has the best carbonara spaghetti. The food is astonishing and the environment is truthfully joyful and the toilet are extremely clean. Shout out to Pedro(sorry man I cant pronouce your real name) waiter from Uraguay who has been extremely nice and friendly to us. The food here is truly good and cheap for its taste. I would never forget this experience.

The Parmigiana was the driest I've ever had. And I have had many. The skrei was totally without salt and taste, and I come from Norway where it's made. Kind and attentive service on a charming location. But the food was not good enough, I'm sorry

I rarely write reviews, but the Pasta Norma was by far the best pasta I've ever eaten. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating.

The already high Google rating attracted me, but I hadn't done any further research, so we just walked in. We received extremely friendly service, and then the delicious food was presented. It was a great location for a family meal!

Be careful! If you write bad reviews, you'll be sued by the restaurant. *Corrected: not sued, but a complaint via Google. Your review will be deemed libelous and will be blocked from being read.* I don't think it's right that you can only praise the restaurant. The food was so-so, the waiter a bit condescending. There are definitely better Italian restaurants in Berlin. It's a shame, because the restaurant itself is beautiful. Edited: Yes, I find it funny too. The uncertainty of a restaurant... Judging by the other reviews, the restaurant is trying to force guests to have their bad reviews removed. That's pure bullying. You have to prove you were a guest. Pure gaslighting. The fact that the food was overpriced and subpar is fine, but silencing them because you can't guarantee the quality is overkill. I think it's dangerous for society.

Update on Jul 2025: 11 months after my review, Amon tried to remove my review and I had to submit my receipts to Google to have it reinstated. Goes to show their attitude on wanting to hide criticism, instead of learning from it as feedback, to prevent it from happening again. Original: The food is okay (the entree was actually quite good and promising for the rest of the meal), though mediocre for the price. The space is nice in the front section but they were packed, so we had to sit in a small room in the back that had a worse atmosphere. The worst part of the experience was the service, as I'd ordered gnocchi and, instead, they brought out the dish, but using orecchiette (a pasta variant, not gnocchi). When we asked the waiter about it, we were told "This is the real gnocchi and how they do it Italy". This was obviously a lie, because, first, no it wasn't, it obviously wasn't gnocchi, and two, the dish presented didn't even match the pictures on the website (which did look like gnocchi, so clearly they know what gnocchi actually is). So, either there was some mixup or they'd run out of gnocchi, but the instinct to just lie when confronted with it was shocking. Would not recommend it at all.

Great service, thank you for helping me with the phone ☺️🙃

A great meal. It's served after a little, but it's more than expected, and the service is fantastic. The waiter immediately felt the vibe. We were even able to charge our phone upon request. All in all, great.

I absolutely loved this restaurant. The welcome, the service, the food, the decor... The waiters were impeccable. The carbonara pasta was absolutely delicious, but the tiramisu was on another level, truly incredible. I absolutely loved this restaurant. The welcome, the service, the food, the decor...

“Try the Carbonara – they said it’s the best in Berlin" They weren’t lying. It was absolutely fantastic! On top of the amazing food, the service was outstanding – such lovely people. We’ll definitely be visiting Amon again next time. #ForzaMilan🙂

For me personally - the best italian restaurant I have eaten at in Berlin , their Carbonara is absolutely amazing !

Great service and very good Italian food. The only downside is that the terrace isn't quite as cozy.

The restaurant is very centrally located in the heart of East Berlin, near Unter den Linden. The food and service were very good, but the portions were quite modest. In my opinion, the value for money isn't right.

We arrived by chance... a heavy rain forced us in. We never thought we'd enjoy one of the best carbonaras we've ever eaten. A special mention for the staff: all the waiters treated us wonderfully, and one of them, seeing that we were going to be hit by the rain as we left, offered us an umbrella with no guarantee that it would be returned. A beautiful gesture of humanity. We returned two days later, and we were right: it's an excellent place to enjoy Tana food.

Great service, the staff was very friendly and attentive. And the food was top-notch. Thank you.

Excellent food quality and service.

best italian restaurant in Berlin

Tasty, fast, expensive :) helpful and caring staff

Excellent handmade pasta. The tiramisu was really good too. Would expect bigger portions for the price.

Absolutely loved this place! The Caprese is a must super fresh burrata and with pistachio, it’s the kind of starter that sets the tone for a great meal. The pasta was also excellent, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and authentic Italian taste. Will definitely be coming back!

Very friendly and warm staff, outside of the main touristy area!! The food was delicious and I cannot recommend the prosecco enough! 10/10 There are two vegan-friendly dishes (and a dessert!) ✨

A wonderful place with delicious, top-notch food. The service was very professional and helpful in choosing the right dishes. I wholeheartedly recommend this magical restaurant.

Wonderful little gem in the middle of Berlin

The food at Amon was delicious. We sat outside and ate a cabonara. The portion looked smaller than usual, but it was just right! Super tasty and well-seasoned! The tiramisu was also delicious.

Sensational food and even better service, we will be back ❤️

🍝 Carbonara – creamy, cheesy, simply delicious! This carbonara was amazing! The sauce was beautifully creamy, with just the right amount of cheese and egg – not a creamy sin, but truly original. The pasta was al dente, just as it should be, and the bacon… wow, nice and thick, slightly smoky, and incredibly spicy. A pinch of fresh pepper on top – and pasta heaven is complete. Honestly, I could have easily finished another plate! 😋🇮🇹 🦐 Prawns – crispy, juicy, and a little taste holiday The prawns weren't just a visual stunner – they tasted amazing! Beautifully seared on the outside, buttery tender on the inside. Served with a creamy green puree (avocado? Peas? Doesn't matter, as long as it's delicious!) and roasted tomatoes that deliver a real umami flavor. A touch of chili on top added a little kick—like a short trip to the Mediterranean. 🌊🦐☀️

The menu is very straightforward, as is the amount of food on each plate. Pasta dishes start at €20, which is quite a pricey price tag. The taste, however, is good to very good.

Finally, an Italian restaurant without pizza... 😉😎 Specializing in pasta! The coffee, tiramisu, and panna cotta are all very good. The staff is friendly and humorous!

Superb restaurant, delicious food, attentive owner and top-notch advice! Highly recommended! A real treat!

Exceptional service, nice staff. We really liked our lunch here.

Nice Italian restaurant with good lunch menu items.

Awesome. A 100% taste experience. The best pasta I've ever eaten.

I had pasta Carbonara and it was incredibly salty, I barely finished. And I enjoy salty food

Extremely delicious food, charming and helpful service

Had a great meal and wonderful service. The caponata is to die for!

Terrible staff and service, very condescending, rude. They didn't even bring utensils for the child. The level of the kitchen is average. I strongly do not recommend it.

Amazing italian food in the heart of downtown Berlin! Meat and cheese platter to start; Carbonara and pasta Americana as our main dishes followed with Tiramasu for dessert and everything was delicious! Only small issue was the service as the server didn't stop back at our table for a really long time after taking our empty plates even though our drinks were empty and we were waiting to order dessert. Overall, would absolutely recommend!!!

Good restoraunt. Delicious Carabinara and wine

Super, lovely service, tasty food:)

The food was good, but portion is rather small, and pasta was over salted. It is not okay to bring 1 litre of tap water and charge €8 for that not saying about it in advance. That’s insane.

In addition to being a very welcoming place, the service is excellent, as is the food. Highly recommended. Please note that the kitchen closes at 10:00 PM.
