Bonfini in Berlin

Esperó durante 45 minutos para los arrancadores y luego más de 1 , 5 hr. para el plato principal, trajo 2 turnos con 15 minutos de por medio. La comida estaba bien, pero no especial.

Il posto si presenta come un ristorante italiano, ma di italiano c'è ben poco. Siamo arrivati intorno alle 20:40 e abbiamo ordinato quasi subito una bottiglia d'acqua, una birra e un antipasto misto italiano. Il suddetto era un antipasto da 26,50€ fatto solo di verdure che non abbiamo mangiato e non possiamo giudicare. Il restante mangiato erano 4 fettine molto sottili di vitello tonnato con un goccio di salsa e tre capperi sopra e una mozzarella divisa in 4 parti. Come primo abbiamo preso una pizza "MOZZARELLA" (quella che noi chiamiamo margherita) in cui il pomodoro (presente nel menù) era anonimo e la famosa mozzarella era plasticosa e gommosa. Unica cosa: impasto basso, fine e abbastanza buono. Nel complesso condimenti scadenti. L'altro primo erano ravioli di Castagne e pere (di per sé molto buoni) con crema di tartufo e tartufo "appena grattugiato". Quest'ultimo sembrava finto, gommoso e non aveva neanche l'odore di tartufo (che solitamente si sente bene). Nel complesso non era male, peccato però il tartufo. Servizio male, male. L'antipasto abbiamo dovuto chiedere noi che ci venisse tolto, perché i camerieri non lo stavano portando via, nonostante si stesse immobili senza mangiare almeno da 30 minuti. Stessa cosa con il primo piatto (TERMINATO!!). Ci siamo alzati per andare a pagare il conto senza che ci avessero neanche spparecchiato, quindi niente dolce (se uno lo avesse voluto). Da non ripetere. E ovviamente prezzi esorbitanti in confronto a quello che viene offerto.

One of the best pasta I've had in my entire life (including the time I lived in Italy!). This restaurant is very cozy and romantic, the staff is amazingly friendly and the food is just delicious. I recommend the pasta with truffle butter, you can thank me later! Definitely recommend!

Cozy authentic Italian restaurant with delicious, well-prepared food and friendly service. Serving inside, on the pavement facing the street and in the courtyard behind the restaurant.

Octopus and pasta with lamb. The hammer! Great Italian!!

Carísimo. Un carpaccio de ternera que había muchísima recula, poquísimo parmesano y nada de carpaccio y el precio 16.95 euros. Una enorme tomadura de pelo. Salí indignada.

Very expensive and bad service. To not return.

Would give it 5 if I could pay by card. Personal is friendly though.

Nice service. Nice staff and very nice boss. The Limocelli was very good

There were six of us there and wanted to have a nice evening. The best thing first, the food was good. Now the negative experiences: - the service was rather poor, the staff only half-heartedly looked after their guests and were annoyed even after asking - after ordering food and drinks, a few olives and 4 pieces of cheap baguette arrived (even though there were six of us there🤔) - After we had our food, there was no further question as to whether we wanted anything else - the only one who was walking around in a fairly present way was apparently the owner of the restaurant, nothing bad in itself, but must she be completely drunk by 6:30 p.m.? It is very unpleasant to be approached by someone who has a very strong smell of alcohol. This combined with the completely exorbitant price of the drinks is not worthy of a restaurant. They won't see us or our colleagues there again.

The food was very, very tasty. The atmosphere was good. The problem was that we waited forever for the food and you can't pay with a card. One star deducted for both of these reasons.

We were in Rome in two Italians restaurants with great reviews and this Italian restaurant has a better food. We enjoyed so much in the atmosphere and the food.

Nachdem wir eine Weile nicht mehr im Bonfini waren, wo wir sonst immer gerne gegessen haben, waren wir diesmal sehr unzufrieden und enttäuscht. Die Speisen waren solala, aber die Preise, auch für die Getränke, haben happig angezogen... da stimmte das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis überhaupt nicht mehr. Sehr schade ! Was aber gar nicht geht, ist an keiner Stelle darauf hinzuweisen, dass keine Kartenzahlung möglich ist, weder bei Reservierung, weder auf der Homepage noch bei der Bestellung... aber an der Eingangstür wird auf die mögliche Zahlung mit diversen Karten hingewiesen. Wir mussten unser letztes Bargeld zusammenkratzen obwohl die Runde hätte eingeladen werden sollte. Hier herrscht jetzt gefühlt Touristenabzocke... Das war das letzte Mal Bonfini ! Gruß Peter Scherf

Zum wiederholten Male wurde trotz Reservierung vom Personal erst bei unserer Ankunft ein Tisch vom Personal gesucht. Die Qualität der Speisen hat nachgelassen, dabei wurden die Preise gut erhöht. Zum Schluss die böse Überraschung: Bei Bezahlung erstmals der Hinweis, dass nur Barzahlung möglich ist. Weder auf der Homepage, noch am oder im Restaurant kein Hinweis darauf. Angeblich gerade erst von der Geschäftsführung angeordnet. Aber dann hier eine Bewertung vom April gefunden, in der dies auch beanstandet wurde. Das war unser letzter Besuch dort.

The food is good but not outstanding either. But the drink prices are really no fun anymore. €6.50 for a 0.5 liter beer and €8.50 for 0.7 liters of water. For €5 a beer I would have gotten two. But this leads to me only getting a small drink. Cheapest drink 0.2 starts at €3.50. Won't come anymore. Please reconsider drink prices!

Very nice place Could be a solid 5 star, but they don't accept cards

Everything just fits here! Thanks

All was so good and tested ❤️ we love it

Was very tasty. Very good service. Good price-performance ratio. The Margherita pizza is highly recommended.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and tasty food. I had gnocchi with goat cheese and truffle. I just wish there was a little bit more spark in the food.

First stop from our Titanic Choussee Hotel and we are thrilled!

Small, cozy Italian restaurant with a very good menu and top quality. Wine selection is also good. Point of criticism: this was the third time I've been here and twice you couldn't pay with a card - but one star was deducted.

I came here spontaneously with my child. Even though it was very busy and everything was reserved, we got a table for an hour. The food was really, really tasty! The pasta arrabiata was excellent, the best pasta I have ever eaten in a restaurant. The pizza was also delicious. The staff is so friendly, I've never experienced anything like that. The atmosphere is cozy.

Cute restaurant with a small standard selection plus a seasonal menu. Super delicious!

Because the weather was still nice in September, we were able to sit on the cozy terrace The pasta with salmon and green asparagus was delicious.

Alt som retten skulle innholde kom ikke med. Spurte om hva på min tallerken er gulerotpuree. Fikk som svar: Emty Jeg skulle betale og bankterminalen var ødelagt. Måtte gå 5 minutter til nærmeste ATM og betale ekstra gebyr for dette siden jeg ikke har tysk bankkort. Liten imøtekommende på pris. Betalte full pris Es war nicht alles enthalten, was das Gericht enthalten sollte. Gefragt, was auf meinem Teller Karottenpüree ist. Als Antwort erhalten: Emty Ich musste bezahlen und das Bankterminal war kaputt. Musste 5 Minuten zum nächsten Geldautomaten laufen und dafür eine zusätzliche Gebühr zahlen, da ich keine deutsche Bankkarte habe. Klein, preislich entgegenkommend. Vollen Preis bezahlt

Very good little Italian restaurant. Very busy. The food was excellent, especially the soup beforehand was fantastic.

Our food arrived over an hour after we ordered (pizzas and pasta). One pizza was clearly a frozen pizza heated.

An Italian like there are many except that at the bill they tell us that the restaurant does not accept cards and that you have to pay in cash and also that the service is not included and that it would be good to add 20%. In short, they take people for idiots just because they don't speak German. Error!

Long waiting time. Overwhelmed owner. Wrong food brought, no apology, no accommodation, but sent to get money because the card payment was supposedly defective... a shame

Bonfini is a lovely Italian restaurant. Very easy to find using maps. Service was a little slow and it took a while to take our order however when the food arrived it was very flavoursome and enjoyable.

Nice enough food but beware if you ask for water!!! I asked for tap water which is always brought automaticaly in Australia. The waiter had just shrugged his shoulders as he walked away without any discussion or offer of a menu and brought a bottle of water. I didn't like to cause a fuss so accepted this thinking it would cost a couple of euro. On receiving the bill they charged 8 EURO for the bottle of water!!!!! RIDICULOUS

There were three of us and the pizza was really good. thin base, sufficient and tasty toppings. The meat dish was also very good. All at a fair price. The ambience in the inner courtyard even exudes Italian charm. I would have liked a little more selection of starters, but otherwise a clear recommendation.

I sat down with my wife and a friend of mine. Almost an hour later, no one came to pick up the order. It made a bad impression that there were other dissatisfied customers. At our table, we had to shine our phones to read the menu - we were given such a crowded and dark table.

We waited to be served for more than half an hour. There was only one candle on our table for 15 minutes, then a menu, but when we looked at the big picture, the result was 4 more tables with rude customers, and after 40 minutes, no one came to take our order We just left..

The main course took over an hour to arrive after the starter. Some of the food was ok,some was poor.

Very cozy in the backyard, attentive, very friendly service, delicious food! Everything is great!

Ate a delicious pizza here with colleagues. Great quality food and wines. Very friendly employees. We were outside in the garden behind the restaurant. Recommended Italian restaurant. !

The portions have been reduced, on pastas. The portion don’t justify the prices. The salami on pizza is very low quality. Not great food but service and atmosphere is great.

The pizza was average, the atmosphere was very nice, the employees were also very nice and the prices were okay. So I would give 3-4 stars. But I found it cheeky that each table was charged 2 euros for bread and olives without asking. That alone is audacious. But the biggest problem is that we didn't even get the bread. This means we paid for something we didn't want and didn't get. That's just cheeky. I'm not coming anymore. I only saw it afterwards otherwise I would have mentioned it on the spot.

We are here a few times after bad experiences at other Italian restaurants. Looks a small place but is quite large and fairly busy each time. Food good, service good even when busy. Staff exceptional and friendly. We're vegetarian and have a picky teen and this catered for us. Had a mixture of pasta and pizza, all to a good quality.

Very pleasant atmosphere, plant-covered summer garden in the inner courtyard, divine in the hot weather and isolated from the noise of the city. Plus fresh crusty bread and olives as a welcome and a nice glass of white wine with the delicious risotto with porcini mushrooms. Everything served by fast and very friendly staff. All around good. GRACE

Delicious food and very friendly staff.

Extremely tasty food. Very atmospheric and delicious fresh recipes.

came here and was greeted very politely at the door came in to enjoy a beautiful little garden with perfect atmosphere not too crowded and not too empty. we were given wonderful service from the very beginning even when we were served our amaretto the drink had accidentally spilt and it was replaced by our wonderful waiter Doni free of charge. really enjoyed my experience here and will be happy to return next time i’m ever in berlin. come here if you are looking for authentic italian food, warm and welcoming service and a comfortable atmosphere.

Cozy atmosphere, service was very friendly. Food was fine!

Super stressed and unfriendly service! Definitely avoid it if you don't like being yelled at by the waitress!!!

Hier voetbal Nederland-Turkije gekeken. Was heel gezellig. Goede kaart. We zaten buiten op klein chaotisch maar gezellig terras. Vriendelijke ober. Inderdaad drukke straat en we zaten gewoon op de stoep. Maar was toch gezellig. Zeer goede risotto, pasta carbonara en tiramisu.

In response to the store's unfair response: I actually bought some ice cream, but before I sat down my friend had already ordered a beer. Before I could order wine, you had already started joking in front of other guests about throwing us out. I felt very disrespected and you claim we didn't order anything? You are not a street vendor and we are not beggars. The way she talked made it seem like we were just there for the table. I have never seen an owner force customers to pay and then kick them out. I felt extremely humiliated. Absolutely not recommended. —————————————————————————— I recently visited this restaurant with my boyfriend to watch a football match. It was raining, so we decided to sit outside. My boyfriend ordered a glass of beer while I ate ice cream. The owner made several rude comments about us not ordering enough. Eventually, they asked us to leave so other customers could sit. This treatment was extremely disrespectful, especially since we were paying customers. I do not recommend this place due to their unprofessional behavior. Recently I visited this restaurant with my friend to watch a football match. It was raining so we sat inside.

Just very tasty and friendly service. You can also sit beautifully and quietly in the backyard.

We sat in the beautiful green backyard in the best weather, public viewing of the em was also possible in another location. Extremely charming gentlemen and ladies served and greeted us, we were there repeatedly and the food tops the overall concept!!!!A great one , good-humoured and extremely successful visit! We will definitely come back again! Thank you!

Penne pasta with buffalo mozzarella is really creamy and can melt in your mouth! But keep some space inside of your stomach because the Panna Cotta with red fruits coulis on top is the real thing! Also I recommend the Tiramisu, classic but still the best one! 🫶🏻

Had an excellent gnocchi and salad here. Perfect.

Friendly, just on the street. Pizza was very good, as was the house wine. However, a desert of service after we were identified as tourists. No bread with the olives, like all the other tables, no further questions. Cash only. Was sent with a wag in the direction of a vending machine... Food was great, prices were okay but it still had a bit of an aftertaste...

Tagliatelle with fresh salmon and green asparagus. Highly recommended. Delicious sauce and generously filled with salmon.

Simple restaurant. To pay you have to go to the counter. Food got cold quickly.

A bit expensive and they don't accept credit cards.

Enjoy your meal. Solid portions. Nice personel. Central location.

Thanks to Doni, it was wonderful!

Food is great and Carmello the waiter is the best!!!

Delicious food. Unfortunately there is a lack of staff here too. The two waiters were hardly able to fulfill the wishes of the many guests.

Great food very friendly. They even spontaneously got a television to watch the Champions League final. Thank you very much, we would love to come back.

Nice place with excellent cuisine

We found Ristorante Bonfini online and were accompanied to a table in the courtyard by the friendly staff. You couldn't have guessed this beautiful place from the outside. The atmosphere there was incredible, the service was excellent, and the hosts were very friendly. Chef Arnold, who personally brought our food, was particularly impressive. We ordered an antipasti mixed platter for two, a pizza diavolo and gnocchi stuffed with goat cheese and truffle sauce. I haven't enjoyed such wonderful food in a long time, not in Germany at all - only in Italy. But tonight at Ristorante Bonfini it was just perfect. This restaurant is only recommended! Thank you again and we will definitely be back.

super atmosphere, wonderful food😍

Delicious food, friendly, courteous staff. Highly recommended and would go back anytime.

On the positive side, the drinks came quickly. The food was not recommended without taste without anything. We will not recommend this restaurant nor will we come back!

Amazing and genuine italian. Loved the truffle gnocchi and house wine. <3

Great food and service, it was nice and quiet in the back yard and cool at 24+ degrees in the summer. Only a metal door slammed loudly twice, it was unclear whether it came from the neighbors or the restaurant. We will be back :-)

Amazing food, service and atmosphere!

A perfect restaurant 🤩 The staff are charming and the cuisine is delicious, homemade and refined. A nice break 🥰

Exceptionally friendly staff. Good food, portions a bit small. Unfortunately, no card payment is possible (a sign saying “no card payment possible today” has been put up for the second time; but perhaps not in general).

The ambience is nice, especially in the back yard. The food was rather mediocre and too expensive. Penne Arabiata too oily, not a bit spicy and penne no longer al dente. The Caesar salad was mainly dressed with mayo; you didn't really taste the parmesan, anchovies and capers. Either there wasn't enough of it or there was nothing at all. The crowning glory was the note on the bill: “Today only cash payment”. By the way, you can delete that today, but if you read other reviews (in hindsight), it's a permanent situation.

So amazing food and atmosphere ❤️ highly recommended risotto with prawns and pasta with beef, it has just made my evening 🌸

Food ordered and picked up. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Upon request that the pizza should be cut because a guest was in the hotel, this was done. All in all great and recommended. Of course the food is also delicious.

What can I say. The second time I visited here. The restaurant doesn't look particularly exciting from the outside - but 1. It's a nice place inside 2. The service is good 3. The food is really delicious. Sure, it's a little more expensive - but it's not a snack bar, it's good food that will fill you up. The only drawback is that you cannot pay by card. I would be happy to come back.

Fantastically good authentic Italian cuisine, see a good menu in a very friendly atmosphere with friendly service. It's definitely not the last time I've been there!

Food was very tasty. It's actually a disgrace for guests that this restaurant doesn't accept card payments. In this day and age you would have to deduct more than one star for that.

When the man at the bar (above) wasn't playing with his cell phone, the service was really good and nice. The ambience is also nice. The food was mediocre. The noodles are good, but not enough and significantly too expensive. Unfortunately the pizza couldn't do much. For a beer €6.50 is also a house number.

Wir haben ordentlich gespeist und getrunken und eigentlich einen schönen Abend zu zweit gehabt. Leider wurden wir beim Bezahlen mit der überraschenden Ansage überrumpelt, dass keine Karten akzeptiert werden, sondern nur Barzahlung. Sorry amici, das geht in der Hauptstadt so garnicht….ODER man macht seine Gäste rechtzeitig auf das Problem aufmerksam. Das gilt für alle Restaurants, auch für Italiener.

Good food with a nice atmosphere, but a surprising announcement only when paying that no cards are accepted. The poor employees can't help it that the service is rated poorly. No longer acceptable in the 21st century, sorry dear Italian restaurateurs.

The food was very delicious, but a bottle of water €8.50 seemed out of place (4 bottles of water €34)

Goed eten, niet bijzonder, maar oké. Je kunt hier alleen contant betalen! Dat was vooraf niet bekend. Atm is niet naast het restaurant.

Nice service, good food, the noodles were a bit bland, especially the sauce, but it was fine.

Super friendly, great pizza and even a “waiting beer” on the house (pizza to go)😍 If you’re from Augsch, you won’t say no. We recommend!!

Was there twice. The waiter is quick and polite. As a welcome you always get a few olives 🫒 and bread. Once I had linguini with baby calamari, very tasty and probably not always on the menu. Then penne a’ arrabbiata, pleasantly spicy. Both a glass of wine 🍷. The second time I stayed seated longer after eating and they actually brought me a few olives 🫒 with bread to go with the wine.

Typical and above all authentic Italian restaurant. Good food and correct price, as well as good service. Highly recommended.

Food was absolutely delicious and it was certainly a nice ambient, though I find it a little pricey. I rate this overall with -1 star for the tardy service, and -1 star for accepting cash only. During my visit the service was extremely slow. It took about 10-15 minutes to get the attention of the waiter. Portions were not that huge so we’d have loved to order dessert and coffee, but as we’ve been there for 2h and fearing having to stay for another hour we decided to just get the check, only be told that we have to walk up to the cashier on our own, and pay in cash. No cards accepted.

The only place to go for a real tomato soup. There was an incredible angus and the consistency of the sauce was perfect. See you again on my next visit to Berlin. I forgot his name but the waiter from Besiktas was very polite and friendly. The place is very characteristic. The music playing in the restaurant was great. A very good restaurant to have a very good meal and spend a nice evening.

- barrier-free After you make yourself known at the main entrance, a friendly employee opens the wheelchair-accessible access to the winter garden. The food is tasty and the service is very friendly and extremely helpful.

Very sweet Italian with a nice atmosphere. The food is also very tasty! The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Unfortunately no card payment.

You immediately notice the positive atmosphere here thanks to the good-humored and extremely friendly employees. The restaurant is nice and cozy, with an impressive selection of Italian specialties. The dishes are delicious and the quality is impressive, particularly suitable for vegetarians. Unfortunately, it is less suitable for large groups as card payments are not permitted and the staff do not accept them. This requires the availability of cash, especially if you are paying for 14 people - not always practical. This is the only reason why I no longer want to visit this restaurant with my customers in the future.

The restaurant was opened especially for us for a funeral feast in the afternoon. We would like to thank you very much for the very good food, the wonderful service and the warm welcome.

Loving service and authentic cuisine. Excellent, we would love to come back

Very tasty food/pasta, although in the upper price range.

Delicious, sweet Italian with very friendly staff and a nice ambience, we will definitely be back

Nette Service, schöne Atmosphäre

Great date atmosphere. Amazing food. Very surprised at the quality for the price.

We are very surprised at how good the food is. They also responded to our wishes (no garlic). Really Italian offerings, table decking and music. Very nice.

This place was very good. The food was great but the service was even better! Our daughter was a bit tired and sad and the cook dicided to jump in. Our daughter was allowed to make the desserts together with the cook! Great idea and we had a happy laughing daughter right away. Thank you!
