Da Lucia in Berlin

Well... nice environment, classic Italian trattoria, and well-kept furnishings. But... the cuisine is adapted to German tastes and this makes this cuisine a grotesque imitation of Italian cuisine. The condiments are exaggerated and salads and some dishes are dressed with the hateful German dressing. To my note on the reason for this choice they replied: "we are in Germany, you could have asked first" ... and so I opened my arms and bowed my head in front of so much "wisdom". Pasta with shrimp declared scampi, lasagna with ricotta, carpaccio with mustard, minestrone with two fingers of oil. The first time I ate in this restaurant (first very small and now very large) I remember a seafood pasta to die for. We are not there. Of course the food is good, of course, but abandon the idea of ​​eating original Italian. The staff is kind (perhaps the chef least who had anything to say about the dishes sent back) and generally welcoming.

i picked up take out. I ordered the Rigatoni Lucia and it was good. Actually it was really good. Im not sure if it is because the quality of ingredients as compared to ordering food in the United States. But it was a very simple pasta with chicken and mushrooms in a cream sauce. They included parmesan cheese for me to add myself at the hotel. The service was very fast and the server who helped me was very nice even with my language barrier. I don't speak any German and stumbled my words and she helped me through my order. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

Good food, nice atmosphere. We couldn't split the bill and use two cards in the machine. The attendant was very rude.

Enjoy your meal; Finely balanced in taste. The pizzas have plenty of toppings; the ground is crispy. Tasty lasagna dishes; Price-performance fits. Clear recommendation

A real Italian classic in Schöneberg - a cozy corner Italian restaurant with a lot of soul and authentic cuisine. Everyone is really welcome here🏳️‍🌈, no matter how you are dressed 😉 - the relaxed, open atmosphere fits perfectly into the neighborhood. The cuisine is reliably good, typically Italian, and you can easily get something warm here even after 9 p.m. We always enjoy coming here – for good food, honest service and that special Italian mix of down-to-earthness and warmth.

Heel leuke ervaring! Gezellig, vriendelijke bediening, niet duur, lekker. Niets op aan te merken. Als verrassing kregen we nog een limoncello aangeboden. Perfect!

A nice trattoria, tables placed too close together, food is good, price and performance are okay.

I ate here for my first night in Berlin. What a great choice! The food was very well presented, good portions and tasted great! I also ordered a Vodka and mixer which made me feel very tipsy after only the 1 drink so no idea how much he poured in, but very appreciative! Recommend ++

Nice Italian restaurant, we ate 4 pizzas. 3 were very tasty, 1 was a bit too black at the bottom. Interior could be better. Service was quite friendly. The prices are normal. Price-quality is good here.

A very nice surprise. We stopped at this restaurant by chance and we were not disappointed. A real Italian! My partner loved this pizza “one of the best I’ve ever eaten”. And for my part I let myself be tempted by the lingine mare… a delight. Authentic and warm service. I recommend +++ Emmanuel and Julien (France)

Unfortunately, Da Lucia has slacked off a lot since the change in personnel. Unfortunately, the food quality is no longer the same, with higher prices and the seating feels much tighter than before.

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere. A real Italian restaurant! Great pizza and pasta just as much. If you are looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in Berlin, this is the perfect place to go. I Highly recommended.

Friendly staff and atmosphere would recommend

Probablemente uno de los mejores restaurantes italianos fuera de Italia. Mis dos adolescentes y yo tuvimos una comida maravillosa, disfrutando del ambiente italiano - espíritu al máximo. Parece que este restaurante era de uso frecuente por los lugareños, tenía un ambiente tranquilo, tranquilo y agradable. Árbol - cuatro camareros estaban liderando, buscando todas las misiones ya que eran amigos desde hace mucho tiempo. La comida es excelente.

Decidimos ir a cenar a un restaurante italiano como anoche en Berlín, el restaurante no era grande pero agradable y acogedor. El Antipasto era agradable y las pizzas eran muy agradables. El camarero (el mayor) era tan agradable y encantador y cuidar de nosotros toda la noche

Great quality at a real price! Good for partying! Becomes more and more noble, but remains real.

The food was extremely bad, such a disappointing experience :(

We discovered the restaurant by chance and it was a really great experience. Very tasty authentic Italian cuisine and great service. We'd love to come back!

Waiting times are only when the restaurant is full and 10-20 minutes after ordering, while you can drink a good wine. The staff is always friendly and very close to the guests. The sympathy and humor of this staff plus their efficiency just makes you feel good.

Yummy. Friendly. Beautiful and unpretentious. I feel at home there.

As tourists, we were happy to have found a great restaurant nearby. When we arrived at the restaurant we were told to come into the next room. (Although there were even larger tables available that could have been pushed apart) The next room turned out to be a large room with a counter, and at the back there were several “snack places” in an uncomfortable atmosphere. Eating your food is not possible at all. Preferably 0 stars for something like that!

I was here with a friend. We had to wait 12 minutes for our food. The food was very tasty and filled you up, but the prices are a bit high.

A big thank you to the restaurant staff for their warm welcome! The food was excellent, and I particularly appreciate having made a chocolate soufflé for my son, even though it was not on the New Year's menu. It really made our evening special. We will come back with great pleasure!

It was a wonderful end to 2024 today. The food, atmosphere and conditions were first class! I have a new favorite Italian! The baby calamari on lentils was divine, the Sicilian salad went perfectly with it, the Saloppe al Vino Bianco was tender and very tasty and the spaghetti carbonara like in Italy. We felt like we were at home!

Es habe hervorragende Papardelle a la Genovese, einen ausgezeichneten Hauswein und eine herzlich-humorvolle Bedienung😊

Today we had our Christmas dinner in this restaurant. Overall, the food was really tasty, although there was a problem with the order that really disappointed me. I wanted to change my original chosen dish to the pasta in a cheese wheel with truffles. I was offered to add truffles to my dish instead. Unfortunately, no one mentioned that this would mean an additional charge of 8.50 euros. If I had known this beforehand, I would have made a different decision. What was particularly annoying was that a colleague who hadn't ordered the truffles also had to pay for them. This seemed unfair to us and left the impression that there was no clear and transparent communication with the guests. Although the food itself was good, this experience spoiled the overall positive impression. Never again, there are other Italian restaurants in the area where you won't get ripped off.

A family atmosphere, food is okay, prices are moderate, overall recommended if you don't have too high expectations.

Ottimo ristorante a gestione familiare, tutti simpatici, cortesi e professionali coordinati da Lucia titolare che dal primo minuto ti fa sentire a casa. Cino ottimo dal primo, al secondo alla pizza. Consigliato al 100%

Darling, now I understand why you didn't reach the stars because you didn't go to Lucia

The food was delicious (Vitello Tonnato and an extra pizza if desired), as was the open wine. The staff was friendly and the service was also good.

Un vero ristorante italiano! Pizza ottima e pasta altrettanto. Servizio professionale e curato. Se volete assaporare la cucina italiana a Berlino è il posto ideale.

Tommy was brillaint. Helped us pick great food and was charming. Food was great and service too. Hang on, think it might have been Toni 😏 from Napoli!!!!

You feel a bit like you're in Italy here. The service is nice. But got annoyed when I asked if they could put mascarpone on my pizza. You can't ask questions like that everywhere. haha okay :) It was really tasty :)

Better Italian cuisine in Berlin.

100% italiano, best Italian cuisine in Berlin.

Wonderful! Very friendly service & above all great food! Highly recommended

Good food, great ambience and very friendly staff 🇮🇹🍕

A real Italian centrally located, nicely furnished with very friendly staff and decent prices. There were several of us at Da Lucia that evening. The staff was very friendly and very attentive. Apart from the standard menu, there was also a seasonal weekly menu. The beef crapaccio was presented very originally on the plate and was delicious. My Pasta Da Lucia was also good although there were few chicken strips but the sauce was very good. For dessert I had the tartuffo. All in all, we had a lovely evening with good food in a great atmosphere

Real italian food! Very friendly staff! The saltimbocca alla romana are just gorgeous!

Down-to-earth Italian food of very good quality, just the way I like it. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly service - recommended!

Found it spontaneously and was pleasantly surprised. Really Italian. We felt comfortable and were warmly welcomed. There is very good pizza and pasta. The restaurant is somewhat hidden behind the KaDeWe. I had the pizza with spicy salami. She lived up to her name. My wife had the pasta with veal ragout. We would both be very satisfied. Thank you.

Los camareros eran tan groseros que era casi cómico. La ironía fue cuando hicieron un punto de decir que el cargo por servicio no incluía la factura final. La comida era comestible, pero he tenido mejor. La salsa carbonara se había convertido en huevo revuelto. Los canelones estaban secos.

So bad it was almost laughable. The staff were extremely rude and miserable, I wondered if it was some sort of art installation where they intended to be awful as a form of entertainment. The ironic part? After being so actively terrible, they made it clear upon payment that service charge was not included... Food was okay, had better in cheap chain restaurants but it was edible. No fun allowed. Have a dismal day.

Food was very tasty, service was entertaining 😂

We looked for a new Italian restaurant for a long time because our favorite Italian restaurant had to close. I am very happy that we have found a new favorite Italian restaurant. The food is great! The staff is very attentive and friendly! Thank you for the lovely evening!

I was looking for a place to eat pasta and this one was open at the time. What a great surprise! The staff was lovely, warm and very friendly. The pasta was delicious and served in a quite good portion. The restaurant is very cozy and the ladies' bathroom was very clean (I love the style and decoration btw). We paid with card. If you are in the area is worth it to give it a try.

Amazing service and food! 😊The portions are very generous for their price and the food is delicious. We were welcomed despite not having a reservation. The waiter made everything he could to find us a table in no time. The service is impeccable, everyone welcomes you with a smile and it feels like home! I definitely recommend trying the bruschetta and the tiramisu. Real, authentic and delicious Italian food.

Simply a wonderful discovery, like being at home! Served and revered and pampered! Excellent food, fast and quality. Kind, friendly and professional staff.

Pizza was okay, but other dishes were not tasty, and too much overpriced, almost 30 euros for pasta without meat or fish… service was okay, but a bit unfriendly. I wouldn’t recommend to order salads, if you decide to eat there, select pizza

This restaurant is really a hidden gem - simply authentic Italian restaurant ( much better than the other few Italian restaurant in the close by. When we were there , we were the only table with non-Italian guests. Their pizza is fine ( the dough is good) Pasta are already al dente here. Their starters are always are surprise - calamari with lentil ( cooked in Balsamico ) ; octopus with avocado cream and Beetroot

Absolutely wonderful Italian restaurant! A must go and highly recommended 👌

Italian service in the center of Berlin 🇮🇹🇩🇪 when you enter Da Lucia, you are transported hundreds of kilometers from the capital of Germany to an Italian family restaurant. The dishes are prepared keeping in mind the Italian culinary spirit. You can feel the heart of an Italian mamma in them 🍝 the portions are large and it's worth considering whether we can fit the main course after the appetizer 😉 For me, an additional important advantage is the atmosphere - when I go to an Italian restaurant I expect Italian music and that's what I got 👍🏻

This pizzeria is actually really great, everything I've eaten so far has always tasted very good! What I still find strange is that if you e.g. If you order a tuna pizza with double cheese and spicy, in 99% of all cases the additional side dishes ordered are not included, but these are charged! My last order here was 2 x Pizza Tonno with double cheese and spicy salami, a lasagne and a small mixed salad! - Hold on: 56€ I personally think that's just too much, and all the additional side dishes were also ordered and narrowed down, but weren't available on the pizzas! Since the food was really tasty, I still give it 3 stars, but in the future I'll prefer to go around the corner to the "Trattoria a' Muntagnola". Here I pay €43 for the same order, but I also get what I order. Too bad!

Great location. Lovely in the summer outside. Food was ok. Service was great but they knew some of the party I was with very well.

Wow, this is how the vacation can begin. Great weather and then this delicious food with great service. Only recommended if you are hungry and want great service.

A very pleasant discovery. Excellent food, very good welcome, very very good quality and price ratio. A very appropriate phrase: To get to Heaven you must first go through Lucia. Experience to be repeated.

Capitato per caso, posso dire che l'accoglienza è stata molto buona. Cibo ottimo e ben cucinato; esperienza sicuramente da ripetere.

We decide to try this restaurant, as it is close to our hotel. Waiter welcomes us in Italian, and from here we immediately understand that it would be a great dinner. Truly fabulous pasta and pizza at the same level. Definitely worth going there if you are in Berlin and want to eat Italian.

Very good food, fast and polite service. I recommend.

Not as delicious as the one two years ago. One portion of the noodles was salty and the other was bland. The seafood still smelled fishy.

Probably my least favourite meal out in Berlin The waiter was rude and dismissive, forgot some of our order The food was expensive for what it was and poorly seasoned You will be able to do better

The food was delicious, the service person Marco was quick and quick. The restaurant is highly recommended.

Had reserved a table for a larger group (14 people) 8 weeks before the visit. The wishes (a long table, outdoor area) were discussed specifically when making the reservation. In addition, we visited the restaurant live again three days before the visit and discussed the parameters again. And: On the same day we asked again by phone (you can tell that in Berlin you are used to a lot and always have to take precautions) and had the table confirmed. Unfortunately, when we showed up at the reserved time there was nothing there. A very hard-working employee then tried to make a long table out of individual tables, but was unsuccessful. The end result was that we quickly did it ourselves. Afterwards we waited exactly 60 minutes for anyone to come and take the order. Up until then we had spoken to various service staff several times, to no avail. The whole restaurant seemed quite overwhelmed with the service, there were loud discussions and problems at several tables. Nevertheless, more guests were constantly being welcomed and distributed to tables. When the order was finally taken by a very nice service person, it went relatively quickly (30 minutes) until drinks and then the food (very tasty) appeared. Typically in Berlin, of course, only the dishes without cutlery, the water bottles without glasses, etc. But you already know that. Unfortunately there was no apology from the restaurant, let alone a drink on the house or something similar. As much as I would like to support individual gastronomy in Berlin, my experience is often bad. Then it's better to go to a L'Osteria, even if it's a chain - you can often at least get drinks and food served there and you can rely on your reservations. Conclusion: food good, service catastrophic.

Very tasty food. Friendly and funny staff 👍🏻 Update 17.05: super tasty as always. ❤️

Se cercate un riatorante italiano autentico in quel di Berlino, questo è il posto perfetto: piatti della tradizione non mancano, servizio celere ed impeccabile, staff simpatico, professionale ed amicale. Se siete italiani e cercate una fuga in un luogo come casa, questo fa proprio al caso vostro. Consigliatissimo

If you don't know DA LUCIA, you don't know Berlin. A visit to Da Lucia is like traveling to an oasis. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and just enjoy the sweet moments in life.

Im Restaurant habe ich nach einer Stunde weder Getränke noch Essen erhalten. Als ich schließlich einen Mitarbeiter darauf ansprach, sagte er, dass die Bestellung nicht korrekt eingegangen sei. Es gab jedoch keine Entschuldigung, und der Mitarbeiter zeigte eine gleichgültige Haltung. Als ich mich darüber beschwerte, bedrohte mich der Mitarbeiter mit einem Messer. Das finde ich total unangenehm. Besuchen Sie auf keinen Fall dieses gefährliche Restaurant. I did not receive my drinks or food from the restaurant even after an hour. In the end, I inquired with the staff and they told me that my order had not been placed properly. However, he showed an indifferent attitude without a single apology. When I protested, the employee acted senselessly by threatening me with a knife. Never visit these dangerous restaurants.

The waiter forgot the order and was extremely unfriendly; he only noticed that after an hour. He was also rude when taking the order. And pointed a knife at us as we wanted to leave the restaurant.

An einem normalen Wochentag, abends, schien das Personal völlig überfordert. Wir warteten 45 Minuten auf Pizza und Pasta. Die Bedienung empfanden wir als äußerst unangenehm bis aggressiv. Wir werden nicht wieder kommen.

It was a warm evening and the place refused to put on a fan or the air conditioning. It was extremely hot and uncomfortable within the restaurant. And then the food. The eggplant Parmesan was dry and tasteless. The pizza was soggy. The salads had so much balsamic glaze, they were not nice. I will not go back here.

Super nice team. Real Italy in the middle of Schöneberg. Pizza and pasta tasty and quick.

Delicious food and good service!

Great staff and very tasty pizza!😊

And the first time a pizza melts in your mouth because it's so delicious, the lasagna is spectacular! Good service and the food was fresh and very well made!

Before going to heaven, you have to stop by Lucia's restaurant!!! Excellent service, environment and menu, top quality 🔝 🔝 🔝 🔝 🔝 🔝 🔝

Really lovely food, the pizza was amazing!

Twice eaten here during a short citytrip. Friendly staff, great food (quantity & quality), fair price, delicious Tiramusu...

We ate here for a business dinner with a group of 6 and had a fantastic time. The appetizers were great and the main dishes also. It was nice to sit outside and the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant was nice.

Cucina ottima il Migliore locale italiano che ho visitato......dove tutti sono italiani e cucinano come tali. Oltre ad essere cordiali, che non guasta mai Fantastici

Nice But the pizzas is kinda burned under Not cus too long baked but cus the oven is not clean

Been here twice and it's probably some of the best Italian food I've ever eaten. It's always full but the staff are warm and friendly. Make a reservation in advance!

I do not recommend it, it is the typical restaurant that traps tourists, they do not have quality customer service. After waiting for a table for almost 30 minutes, it takes almost 20 minutes to take your order, only two waiters for more than 20 tables (approximately). They prioritized a person who did not have a reservation only because she stood on a more visible side than us when we had already informed that we were waiting for a table. In the end, after having a table, we got up and left after waiting so long. Fortunately, we found an Indo-Mexican restaurant on the corner, which served us super quickly and the food was delicious.

It's always a pleasure to come back here to eat when I'm in Berlin...excellent food....perfect service....everyone is kind and courteous...

Ambiance, just like you would imagine in an Italian restaurant. Checkered tablecloth. Pizza and pasta like mom made. Service good and attentive. The pizza was super tasty. Always my pleasure.

The food was delicious, the service was attentive, friendly and great fun too. Is only recommended if you want to eat well.

Four of us had dinner on our short trip to Berlin... What can I say, super tasty, nice and courteous staff. We had a really great evening. Oh, we just went out to eat again two days later because it was such a nice evening... And you know what? On the 2nd evening it was just as fun and delicious!!!! We will be back!!! Many greetings from Freiburg im Breisgau!!!

There is good pizza here from real Italians 👍

Really everything, from the food to the service and the feel-good factor, is very commendable.

Unmögliches Personal mittlere Qualität Schlecht belegte Pizza Zu teuer für die Qualität Chef unerheblich Restaurant unpersönlich

The service staff seems a bit disoriented to me. Toothpicks are handed to a guest. The waiter looks somewhere else and all the toothpicks fall to the floor. But the waiter doesn't even notice. No, he's gone again. Are you really welcome as a guest or are you just doing a job and not even doing it well?

My favorite Italian 😀 Fair prices and the food is ALWAYS delicious 👍 Service attentive and always nice. Definitely try it. Pizza comes from the stone oven and the Italian carbonara is super delicious.

simple environment but everyone is kind and courteous, really good food, a chef who knows what he is doing

Very good service and really tasty pizza 😋👌

Excellent food and nice service

We reserved a table there as part of Easter Berlin. Located in the middle of the Schöneberger Kiez, this restaurant is... Short and sweet, it tasted good, would be back!

We were there after a meeting with 20 people in Da Lucia on a Saturday evening. There were only two waiters who served us and the other guests. The restaurant was full, but unfortunately the staff was overwhelmed. The food tasted mediocre. We had to add more seasoning. Unfortunately not a suitable place for a comfortable end to a strenuous day.

Quite a nice little restaurant. Staff friendly, food okay but not amazing. Ambience not our taste at all. Tables are too narrow, no privacy. Overall we were happy but it wasn't great.

Every time I'm in Berlin I go to this Italian restaurant, the food is very good and the service is perfect. As does the price. Great restaurant

The best Italian restaurant in the neighborhood! The food is very tasty and super nice service! Gladly again and again!

Italian restaurant that has evolved from a snack bar into a restaurant thanks to its good food. The pizzas are particularly tasty and good...
