Da Balistreri in Berlin

An authentic and cozy Italian restaurant. The pickles, pastes, and other details inside give the impression that it's run by an Italian family. The creamy tomato soup was very tasty, and the olive oil spread served as a complimentary starter before the meal was equally delicious. Then came the pasta with bolognese sauce. We all enjoyed it and had a pleasant dinner.

Daily selection of fresh dishes, which you can combine as you like. Extremely delicious and high quality. Plus, a very Italian flair.

Fantastic place, delicious dishes, great service

Authentic Italian cuisine made with heart and soul at more than fair prices! Pipo & Tano are Berlin's culinary icons. I've known them for over 20 years from their time on Joachim-Friedrich-Straße. Since 2021, they've been located here at Mierendorffplatz, running a small, cozy, and welcoming bistro focused on lunch and afternoon meals. They offer a wide selection of Italian classics, including vegetarian and vegan options. Everything is cooked from scratch with love, energy, and decades of experience. Sausages, cheeses, and pastries are also available to take home. The next generation is already involved, carrying on the tradition. Come one, come all, and let yourself be pampered!

What a great place! Super fresh ingredients and taste is authentic. Staff is very nice too! They have an affordable lunch menu and I would definitely go back for it.

The best paninos around! The Diavolo with spicy salami and provolone is my favorite! The cheese and sausage counter is definitely worth a visit! The warmth there is unsurpassed! I always ate there for lunch while studying at the UdK and miss it very much.

A great place with family vibes and comfort atmosphere. There are various options of food - from the menu, paninis, or trattoria-style salads, pastas, and main dishes. Everything is absolutely delicious, personal favorites are the pasta with potato and zucchini pasta. The bread is delicious. There are also good selection of Italian wines. The owners are friendly, supportive, ready to explain everything about the food and vine in German, Italian, English, and likely some other languages. I was a regular when I lived in the area, lunching there almost daily, without being bored or tired from the food. Highly recommended.

Always great for a great panini or pasta, the service and co. are always super friendly and the atmosphere is cozy. Always happy to come back!

A somewhat hidden street restaurant. It's well-frequented. Reasonable value for money. Good lunch concept: You can put together your plate from about ten different pasta dishes and one meat dish – a bit of everything. The spaghetti wasn't quite fresh, but the remaining pasta was tasty and good. Very friendly, fast, lively service.

A true gem on Mierendorffplatz: a combination of bistro and Italian delicatessen. Friendly, family-friendly, delicious food, and excellent wines and spirits. You feel valued and at home. Fantastic.

I've been here at least 5-6 times, and the paninis are simply world-class. I absolutely love them. The service is also consistently friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Incredibly delicious, it was worth the trip from Baden-Württemberg to Berlin for that alone. I've rarely eaten so well, and the entire staff was super friendly. I highly recommend it.

Small family business, highly recommended 👍The food was outstandingly delicious and the staff very friendly and accommodating, anytime again 👍👍

Freshly prepared Italian food and lunch menu. A safeguard for the neighborhood.

I'm giving 4 stars only for the coffee, it's not to my taste at all. Everything else is 5 stars. I'll be back to try the pasta.

Buonissiomo. I'm a big fan of yours!

Every day different Italian dishes, super delicious, very kind people and favorable prices.

Beautiful Italian food, fine wines, with Italian music and cosiness.

Simply great. Service from the small family business was wonderful. Food tastes good and plentiful. Ambiance: if you close your eyes and taste them, open them and look, you think you are in Italy. Just great. We'll be back!

It is a place that my partner and I usually frequent. The food and coffee are excellent, the panini selection is very varied, but the best thing about the place is the staff and the atmosphere. We always feel excellently cared for, the atmosphere is very welcoming and it is genuinely a pleasure to go. More than recommended.

Excellent authentic Italian food, tasty wine, friendly service.

We can only recommend Balistreri! Although probably not everyone likes the ambience, which in this case is irrelevant, but the food and hospitality are second to none! Criminally, it was only my second time eating there but I was completely impressed! I can really recommend it to everyone, and I really get around a lot in the catering industry! It's very difficult for me to top now It was a real taste explosion, you can tell that the cooking here is done with heart and love and the focus is on the dishes from Sicily! Good wines from Italy and beers from Italy are also offered! An extensive range of grappa is also served!👌 Hats off and keep it up! I'd love to come back👋 Big thanks to the family-run restaurants 🤟

Italian food cooked with love. If I could, I would come every day. For me, my favorite restaurant in Berlin

The place I was really looking for in Berlin: real Italian cuisine with many specialties, fresh products and great prices. I will be back often!

If you prefer real Italian food, this is the right place 😄 Selected Italian wines are also very tasty The employees/owners are real compatriots👍 So: Small, fine, tasty with Italian rusticity.

Great place with tasty food and pleasant service!

Had a lovely afternoon meal! That's perfect! Come back!

I love this place, the food and service are always excellent. And there is a nice lunch buffet. I can definitely recommend this place 😊

Family-run trattoria with very friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. High quality food with inexpensive lunch options. A shop that you would like to see more often in Berlin.

On the recommendation of local friends, lunch for three today: Perfect pasta, very varied starter platter, friendly and approachable, overall very good and authentic: you can't go wrong. Wines sold in stores tend to be in the upper price segment...

Like a little vacation. The selection is fantastic. Always my pleasure.

Beautiful little shop with great, friendly service and good prices. Enjoy the food and dream of the Italian moments in life. Just wonderful.

Great shop...the food is great. The family is great. At any time…

Nice atmosphere and delicious paninis!

Kleines Restaurant, super Essen und nette Bedienung. Wir kommen immer wieder gerne zu essen.

Ottima qualità e persone simpaticissime!

Best lunch you can get in the area. Great Italian food and lots of variety each week.

Sehr schönes Restaurant, gute Qualität wie in Italien 😊

Tutto perfetto cortesia e qualita'. Bravi👍

Der perfekte Ort, um „mediterran“ runterzukommen, seine Seele baumeln zu lassen und sehr gut zu speisen. Geheimtipp: Olivenöl für den Genuss zu Hause.

Sehr gutes italienisches Essen und Spezialitäten, sehr nette Leute

Sehr leckere Panini, die frisch zubereitet werden und nur um die 5 € kosten. Mittags muss man leider manchmal etwas warten, aber es lohnt sich.

lovely place with delicious authentic Italian food and great wine...

Delicious food and very friendly people!

Sehr hochwertige italienische Produkte, tolle Inhaber und grandioses essen. Macht immer Spaß da zu sein! Es ist schön, ein Stück echtes Italien hier in Charlottenburg zu haben

Spaghetti Amatriciana sind für mich der absolute Geheimtipp, außerordentlich lecker! Auch der Cappuccino ist super. Sehr freundliches Personal.

Leckere italienische Spezialitäten zum kaufen und ganz tolle Gerichte zum Essen. Mein Favorit ist die Pasta Amatriciana! Tolle, authentische Inhaber die mit Herz mit dabei sind.

Seit dem neuen Eigentümer einfach viel schlechter als das was da vorher drin war. Die Panini sind viel kleiner und mit weniger guten Zutaten gemacht als das früher der Fall war. (z.b. Parmesan gerieben statt frisch geschnittene Stücke. usw.) Auch die Größe sind viel kleiner als früher und oben drein ist es auch noch teurer. Im aktuellen Zustand finde ich das Preisleistungsverhältnis einfach nicht gut.

Super, freundschaftlicher, familiärer typisch italienischer Laden mit humorvollen Mitarbeitern! Lecker kleinigkeiten aber auch Pasta und wohl bald auch Pizza! Sehr empfehlenswert! Grazie und a presto !

Eine echte Trattoria: In der familiären Atmosphäre bekommt man netten Service, leckeres Essen und gute Laune. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Auf die Wünsche der Gäste wurde perfekt eingegangen (weizenfreie Spaghetti mit extra viel Knoblauch), sehr guter Hauswein, preislich absolut gerechtfertigt (und gut eingeschenkt), Espresso ist mindestens genauso gut wie in Rom (wenn nicht sogar besser), guuuuter Grappa, sehr freundliche Bedienung und eine süße kleine Salumneria. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder, noch öfter!!

Authentische italienische Küche mit super freundlichem Personal ☺️ Die Paninis sind super street food 🤩 Auch toll zum draußen sitzen 🇮🇹

Immer wieder lecker..beim Espresso und Kaffee angefangen. Bis hin über die Panini ( auch vegetarisch und vegan). Egal ob Wurst, Käse oder warme Speisen...Yummy🙂. Wir sind immer gerne bei euch

Immer gute Ware, einfach lecker.
