Da Vinci in Berlin

Often very crowded and very loud. The pizzas are ok, but not exceptional. Sometimes you have to wait longer for service. Priced too excessive.

Worst experience ever this was my first meal in Germany and I was traumatized. The pasta was horrible it shouldn’t be called pasta. The server was even worse, he looked at us very angrily and disrespectfully and he had the audacity to demand a big tip at the end of the meal. Good thing : he likes French people bc we are unable to understand his insults in German. They didn’t speak Italian and mocked us for being Italian. They took advantage of us for being tourists. The water was sooooo expensive (we come from Swiss so we know about it). The toilets are great but there was mirror so I could see myself while doing my thing. The price was okay for the food quality (cheap). The guy is unnecessarily mean.

The best place in the West for drinks, good music and entertainment. We'd love to come back!

The food was exceptional, closely resembling the authentic flavors I’ve experienced in Italy. The ambiance of the venue was pleasant, and the pricing was quite reasonable, especially by Berlin’s standards.

2 wonderful nights here . great food wine and excellent service by the always helpful waiter sumit. highly recommend

Cozy, rustic Italian restaurant under the S-Bahn with very good cuisine.

Very tasty food, good wine, nice atmosphere.

The food comes very quickly, is fresh and tastes good. You sit very comfortably and feel like you are in Italy for a short time 🇮🇹

After a visit to the restaurant the day before the Berlin marathon, we four all got food poisoning.

We had made a reservation for this restaurant 5 weeks in advance it was for 10 people. When we showed up in the restaurant, our table Wasn’t reserved and the waiters and manager were really rude. They then suggested to give us a table outside in the cold that only catered for nine people and wanted for all of us to squash in. So We decided to leave the restaurant and look for an alternative. They didn’t care less, they were rude and arrogant.

We came with my family and we were impressed by how good (and big) the pizza was. Chilled pizza place near Berlin Dom.

The food was ok, service not really. We get a table next to other people... Ok... They have finished when we get our dishes. When I asked for cheese the guy gave me the almost emptied bowl of cheese from ... The other customer next to me. Uhm... At the end, the total was like 37,50€ he said :"the service is not included, type on the ATM 42€ And waited for me to paid... What the hell... ?

Excellent service and food, Guido and all the staff was amazing

Correct, fast service, large, juicy pizza, pleasant atmosphere if you get a table in the winter garden. The boys smile when you treat them kindly - so please be nice to them :-)) Gladly again!

Great service. Very tasty food. Both pizza and Italian antipasti were great. Highly recommended

Good traditional Italian restaurant with a great atmosphere. Portion sizes are good and food was very tasty.

Vi var 20 personer, som fikk servert verdens beste tomatsuppe, en kjempegod med megastor porsjon med Lasagne, og til slutt en panacotta med smak av appelsin. Kjempegod mat. Kommer gjerne tilbake hit igjen

A big city atmosphere that I really like, real Italian cuisine, delicious!

I was alone at Da Vinci - at 10pm or so. Was received very, very friendly! I ordered a pizza with spicy Calabrese salami. It was really exceptionally good! And: Compared to other pizzerias, the salami was really powerful! It had really good sharpness. I often miss that somewhere else. All in all: pizza very good! Ambience nice. Service friendly and competent. Price/performance: very good for the location!

Food is okay, but very expensive. Staff is very unfriendly.

such a long waiting time (around 30 minutes) just to receive very mediocre pizza (which normally wouldn’t bother me but considering the price…) and a soup that was basically just tomato-ish water with literally raw vegetables (i now know how raw cauliflower tastes🥲). only good thing was a huge glass of coca cola whereas normally it would be twice as small. also, the room was really hot and kinda stuffy and the waiter was not the nicest kind. (july 2024)

Food came really fast, they were all very nice and the food was delicious

Excellent Pizza Capricciosa - Lunch special

We ate a Risotto that was passable and a chicken salad with spoiled lettuce. The waiter was quite surly. Furthermore, in the end he wanted to charge us five euros more because he said that the service was not included.

Great, gigantic pizza, large portions, thank you for the nice afternoon with you. Gladly again!

Hemos ido a comer recientemente al restaurante y a pesar de que la comida no está mal , el servicio es nefasto y especialmente para extranjeros. Destaco negativamente la actitud y pésima orientación al cliente del camarero mayor con pelo largo. Todo le resultaba molesto y logró que no disfrutásemos lo más mínimo de la comida (dejando casi todo en los platos). Si no le gusta su empleo que lo deje y no que hable de malas formas a los clientes que le dan de comer.

The Da Vinci Restaurant is an excellent Italian restaurant, the exceptional chef Mario as soon as he saw us arrive put us at ease pampering us with his excellent Italian cuisine he prepared delicious pasta al dente once some penne all'arrabbiata, a carbonara and a standard that is nothing short of exceptional and very abundant, the pizza chef is also very Italian, a mega pizza with spicy salami and peppers that is superlative, another pizza with raw ham and cherry tomatoes, I advise anyone on holiday in Berlin to come if you want to eat well and Italian I congratulate all the staff, Mr. Guido is super kind and friendly.

Il Ristorante Da Vinci è un ottimo ristorante Italiano,lo chef Mario Eccezionale appena ci ha visto arrivare ci ha messo a nostro agio coccolandoci con la sua ottima cucina italiana ha preparato la pasta buonissima al dente una volta delle penne all'arrabbiata ,una carbonara e una norma a dir poco eccezionali e abbondandissime,il pizzaiolo anche lui italianissimo una mega pizza con salame piccante e peperoni superlativa,un altra pizza con prosciutto crudo e pomodorini,consiglio a chiunque sia in vacanza a Berlino di venire se si vuole mangiare bene ed italiano,faccio i miei complimenti a tutto lo staff,il signor Guido super gentile e cordiale.

Correct food, lousy service, rude and unprofessional.

Un ristorante italiano perfetto, il personale è stato molto gentile. Il cuoco sapendo che eravamo italiani ci ha fatto una porzione abbondante di pasta e di pizza. Tutto molto buono, vale la pena tornarci.

Service was quite good. The server was attentive enough and was quick with the order, delivery of food and the payment process. The fork initially provided to me had some leftover food but the server immediately changed it as soon as I pointed it out to them. Food was alright. Nothing extraordinary.

The pizzas are very tasty and huge. The calzone is monstrous and highly recommended. The anchovy pizza was a bit salty for my taste, I don't know if that's normal. Otherwise very good

The food was OK and not so expensive.we ordered a Quatro fromaggi pasta and they brought us something else. When we asked to change it they told us that they could do it but on charge.

First time I went there, the lasagna was great though they didn’t give me olive unlike other people. Second time, the service was horrible and the spaghetti was also not well cooked. Not sure if that’s because it was lunch time or other reasons i don’t want to talk about.

We were looking for a restaurant in the museum area and decided to try it because of its proximity. Quite a surprise, the service has been good and the food was great, very good quality and very abundant. 2 people can eat one pizza. Very good choice

Very tasty and friendly. My daughter also found this restaurant wonderful.

Da Vinci is a great spot for traditionally delicious Italian food, where many locals come for lunch. The pasta is freshly made here. We truly enjoyed the beef carpaccio for a light start. The salmon tagliatelle was great and the beef lasagna was brilliant. The lasagna is made with a combination of a hearty tomato sauce and a finely made bechamel, perfectly broiled in the oven. The service was not so great. This place tends to get crowded, and they do not have enough waiters to manage the volume.

FOOD WAS VERY GOOD AND SERVICE WAS TOP AND VER FRIENDLY GUY . EVERYTHING WAS VERY GOOD.

We decided to try this pizzeria because of its great rating and proximity to the hotel; That night we didn't want to move. The pizzeria is not very elegant, but we were not looking for a palace either, we just wanted to eat well. Upon entering, the first thing we saw were some huge pizzas that made us salivate as if we were in front of a good Asturian fabada. Encouraged, we decided to explore the menu a little more and ordered a chicken salad. Here came the unpleasant surprise: the salad looked like a collage of loose ingredients, as if the chef had decided to do it yourself. However, not even with all the love in the world could we make sense of that tasteless salad that was definitely not worth what it cost. The pizza, on the other hand, was good, although the dough was a little soft. The place was not bad, and the staff was quite friendly, which is always appreciated. But overall, the quality of the food left us colder than a winter day in the Picos de Europa. We would give it a 6 out of 10. If you don't want to move around much and are hungry, it's a decent option, but we wouldn't walk an Asturian league to get here. If you go, go for the pizzas and don't venture too far.

Very friendly service and delicious food for a fair price!

The food was good... the service was TERRIBLE... we were served by a waiter with a very bad manner and humor (an older man with long white hair and glasses) making faces with each order and throwing the dishes... if you are around here... better look for another place... xq This is the first time we have encountered such rude people in Berlin.

- Great for large parties. We went with 7 people without a reservation. - Food was quick and tasty - Kids really enjoyed the pizza

Excellent food, professional service, family friendly.

Cozy restaurant, good food.🤓 The service was very friendly. Unfortunately, the boss was very disappointing on our third visit (in a week). This time there was no attention and extra orders were not welcome. It's a shame...🙁

Absolutely wonderful food, the most authentic and professional, one of the best pizza and pasta I have ever had in Germany, love everything about this restaurant

Sorry, that was nothing. First, the wrong pizza was delivered. I ordered a Diavolo and then a Parma pizza was delivered to me. The waitress recognized the error after the message was immediately communicated and wanted to suggest that I simply take the ham down and put salami on it - "otherwise they would be the same anyway". Since I didn't want a recycled pizza given the prices quoted, but rather the one I had previously ordered - and fresh, please - I asked them to simply make me a new one. This was also accepted and confirmed to me. After only 3 minutes. Then came the “new” Pizza Diavolo. The only strange thing about it was that a) the rocket was pretty squished and overcooked + b) the salami slices were lying uncut on a pizza that had already been cut. So I still got a recycled pizza. Unfortunately, this is not possible at all and cannot be surpassed in terms of impudence. But it is, because on the bill, to make matters worse, the Pizza Parma was listed, which is more expensive (17 EUR) than the Pizza Diavolo (15.50 EUR). Other "minor" inconveniences: when we arrived, my friend's drink that had been delivered was spilled on the already dirty tablecloth. The whole thing was dabbed with napkins and the napkins were left lying around / the stain was barely covered with them. Not very tasty or clean. Well, the final sambuca is usually lit - not here. Probably too much effort. There was no paper left for hands in the toilets. The waitress tried to be funny and apologized several times for the pizza thing - but blamed the problem that there wasn't a new one on the kitchen. All in all, for the prices that are not particularly cheap here, there is no good service and as a kitchen, tearing apart the wrong pizza that was delivered and then selling it as a new one is an absolute no-go. That was nothing - we definitely won't be coming back and can't do that Do not recommend loading. That's not how you treat customers - thumbs down for the DaVinci on Georgenstrasse in Berlin.

Average food, not italian flavors, nice wine. Not the best attention from the waiter.

The place is picturesque because it is located under the train tracks, which makes it not a very quiet place. However, there is no more noise than on a terrace on a busy street. It is clean, functional and with a small terrace in the back that, if it is hot, is very cozy. The restaurant staff provided exceptional treatment to both my son, who was delighted, and me. Friendly, but not annoying. Detail-oriented, but without being pushy. At all times, attentive to anything we might need and providing us with solutions to some logistical problems, such as arriving at the restaurant at 11:15 p.m. and feeding us three-quarters of an hour before closing. The food is very good. Abundant and tasty. The fresh homemade pastas and very delicious sauces. I don't know about the pizza, because my son ate it all, but according to him it was also very good. It looked good, and the smell was excellent. We had dinner the first day because it was the only place open near the hotel so late and we liked it so much that we went back three more times in the week we spent in Berlin. Affordable price even compared to Madrid (€15-20 per person) and, to make a point, the drinks are somewhat expensive. We will definitely repeat if we return to Berlin.

Sumit made a very confident impression. I would be happy to come again. Wish him all the best and the food was delicious.

The Spaghetti Ai Gamberetti was outstanding. The service was very friendly.

A pleasant place with excellent pizza

Food was tremendous and plenty to choose from

Really delicious food and really good portions. The waiter was an Indian guy who gave impeccable service. We arrived in Berlin yesterday. I was really disappointed with everything we ate. Just came from Amsterdam where everything was delicious and then in Berlin, the food turned out to be not good and expensive , Da Vinci was a refreshing change. Great food , amazing service and HUGE portions

The food was good. But they took advantage of the fact that we don't know German to sneak us a bottle of water for €8 when we only asked for a glass.

Best place i've ever been in Berlin

The place lies very central at a location with many restaurants. I liked the interior design, the chandeliers looked pretty cool. The prices for the pizza I ordered were amazing considering the pizza is huge, and the waiter too was very friendly, welcoming and enthusiastic! Shoutout to Sumit for his amazing work and service! The pizza too was made quick and it was tasty. So, I suggest definitely dropping by this place when you’re in Berlin.

really bad service. They're racist and pushing you for the tips. Don't recommend this place unless you're there for torture.

The waiter is a racist. He is very rude to ask tips, like a robber. It’s a very bad experience in Berlin. I never recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I recommend this place Large portions, you can easily eat a pizza for 2 people and be full. The pasta is also big. Delicious pizza, served quickly. A good place for a tourist, close to the center.

Oddly chaotic but charming restaurant. Very tasty Italian food with huge portions (one pizza would feed two people). The service is idiosyncratic in a fun way, and the place seems to always be bustling. The asparagus ravioli was a particularly good dish, that was a five star on its own. Sadly, the mixed antipasti mixes veg, meat and cheese on one platter, meaning vegetarians and vegans miss out in group bookings.

There is wonderful spaghetti with seafood here, although I missed some mussels. Most preparations of this dish in Berlin are impossible. A little more work on it and it is absolutely perfect!!!

Bad food, dirty tables, overpriced and unfriendly service. Full package really

Spaghetti was good, the pizzas looked very good and were very large

Spaghetti bolognese very tasty, friendly service, pleasant atmosphere. I recommend it :)

Actually quite a nice Italian restaurant with the usual dishes, of course at tourist prices, understandable given the central location. However, the service was so unfriendly that we felt very uncomfortable and wanted to leave the store as quickly as possible. Not recommendable.

Waiter kicked us out of the restaurant, for not knowing under €15 you are not allowed to pay with a card. It is written in the menu, though it is small and hidden at the bottom of the page. Was rude through the whole experience and even asked our nationality, possibly, attending other Brazilians even worse. Furthermore, he also scolded us about paying separately and rushed us, when getting the money out. Overall the experience was not enjoyable and I would not recommend this restaurant.

Was here alone and found it surprisingly good. Spaghetti Bolognese was great and what I personally think was good was that it wasn't super crowded at 6 p.m. during the week, but rather very relaxed.

Food was good. Paid cash and had to haggle with the waiter to get our change as he held it hostage, wanting a generous tip. In general he was rude. Wouldn’t bother going again just to avoid that guy.

Good Italian food! Big dishes and nice service :)

Very very good food. The service is great. Thank you.

Pizza with mushrooms €13 Pizza with mushrooms *without cheese* €14.50 Rest was good

Large portion, very unfriendly service, pizza was very tasty

Nice quality food.👨🏻‍🍳 Service was a bit unenthusiastic 😐 Great and charming room. Pricy items.

Delicious food, fantastic Carbonara, wonderful Bolognese, very large portions, it's really worth visiting :) The service is also very good. I recommend 100%

For the prices I expect better quality. Unfortunately I won't be coming back and wouldn't recommend it to others.

Food wasn't fresh people say how fast it comes but because its frozen pasta and cheese were hard and bread was stale , the whole meal should of cost €30 euros pushing it yet was charged €40 guessing for the "complimentary" bread then because i don't understand german i somehow ended up paying a €5 tip which i was never asked about at all and isn't even explained on the receipt which isn't a receipt its just a confirmation print of the payment. Might be nice for locals but wouldn't recommend for tourists just a scam

Tre pasti durante la mia permanenza a Berlino, tutti più che gradevoli con piatti italiani ben cucinati (compresa la pizza). Porzioni molto abbondanti con prezzi sopra la media italiana. Personale gentile e simpatico. Se non volete mangire solo tedesco è una buona alternativa.

The first time we ate here and we really enjoyed it, the second time we went back and it was a total disaster, completely empty restaurant and we were either sat in the deepest corner or in some dark place. There is shouting between waiters and people look at you strangely. Never again! PS: The operator is trying to delete negative reviews through a company, please note!

Recommendation! We had read the good reviews, but were skeptical due to the tourist location. Completely without reason. The restaurant is very good. We had pizza, sole in white wine and pasta. Everything really prepared perfectly. Fresh, hot. The service was nice and very child friendly. The atmosphere is stylish but cozy. We'd love to come back!

Overall a bit hectic and tight. However, this can also be a sign of good cuisine and an appropriate price-performance ratio. And that's exactly how we experienced it. If we hadn't booked in advance it would have been difficult to get a table. The greeting, ordering and overall service were very quick and friendly. The food was delicious...even if we were a little scared because of the quantity. Both the pasta dishes and especially the pizza are oversized. But that's just how we are...as long as it's lush! What was particularly convincing here, however, was the taste. We were thrilled and will definitely come back.

Went on a Sunday evening for dinner, was seated at the back fairly quickly. We were two of us, got mushroom cream chicken pasta and da Vinci pizza. Pasta was heavenly I didn’t like the pizza very much. Portion was good for the price, not great. We got coffees and also a tiramisu, they were all very very good esp tiramisu was amazing! In the end the waiter rounded off the amount on the card machine without consent. It felt very rude as he argued with us the bill was not inclusive of service charge, I asked how much service charge is and then told us whatever you want. he kept correcting it to a round off extra 4 euros, service wasn’t good enough to begin with No matter how good the food was I will not go back and do not recommend it based on the service alone

Quite a mixed experience for the restaurant "Da Vinci". The meal was excellent, the portions were more than adequate and it was delicious. However, the waiter lacked consideration and the atmosphere was a little cold. We had a lot of noise because the train passed over the restaurant.

Good Italian restaurant in the middle of Berlin directly on Friedrichstrasse. We came here spontaneously with a group of seven people without a reservation. The waiter made everything possible so that we could get a table together. The food was very tasty. I had number 81 (grilled chicken with vegetables) and it was really very good! The entire dish had great roasted flavors. Price performance fits! Unfortunately I don't have any pictures this time.

Anyone who comes alone is not welcome and is warmly welcomed. I was disappointed with my visit to Da Vinci Restaurant. The reception was unfriendly and uninviting, especially if you are alone. When I arrived today at 8:15 p.m., the restaurant was busy, but there were several empty seats. I was asked to sit at the far end of the outside area, which I could still understand since I came alone. But after I ordered spaghetti carbonara and a drink, my table was not set with "normal" cutlery and was not prepared. First the waiter came with a spoon and a drink, without service plate and napkin. Then the spoon was simply placed on the dirty tablecloth. The waiter then saw cutlery left by other guests that hadn't been cleaned up yet and gave it to me without arranging it, just like that. So unhygienic... I wasn't served any bread either. My food came 3-4 minutes after I ordered and of course was cold when it arrived after a few minutes. The plate was also pretty dirty, especially when you touch the plate, you can quickly tell. The price I paid with the tip given is disproportionate to the service I received. The prices cannot be called affordable, so if you want to eat alone, I recommend thinking again.

Really delicious. Real Italian food. Card available. Lots of pasta. For Koreans, one pizza menu is enough for two people. 1 pizza and 1 pasta are enough for two men. The side olives were also delicious.

Lasagne was great, but the sauce around it was killing the flavour a little bit (probably bcs of the cream in it), but it was still very good, I reccomend 👍

I have absolutely no complaints about the food. Generally pretty good and came out quite quickly. However, the experience was ruined by the waiter. He slung a beer mat in front of me from a couple of feet away and seemed to have a pretty bad attitude. He never checked how our food was, and then took our plates away while I was still eating, without asking (I literally had the last slice of pizza in my hand). You could see him drinking beer during service and when it came to the bill, he mentioned three times that the total was did not yet include a tip. I always tip servers but in this instance he did less than the bare minimum, so I decided not to. He made us feel awkward and rushed, we were out of the restaurant within 35 mins of entering. While the food was pretty good, I would absolutely not recommend going here, the service absolutely ruined the experience.

Authentic and stylish restaurant in the heart of Friedrichstrasse. We received our food super quickly, the service was impeccable and the employees were very friendly. There is a large selection of food and drinks, especially spritz variations. I recommend the Sarti Spritz! Everything was perfect all around and we would love to come back.

Lovely Italian pizza, quick service

A little piece of Italy in Berlin. Charming place, good food, delicious cannoli, correct service ... to repeat!!!

Almost a permanent point of contact when I come to Berlin. The food has always been delicious. (Very good pizza and nice and thin and therefore big) The service was very good and friendly, despite the house being full. Real professionals who know how it's done. I always enjoy coming back.

Great restaurant. Pizza for two persons is divided by two parts which is nice. All foodstuff are fresh. Pumpkin soup with shrimps was delicious. Kaprese salad was not bad. All meals were served very fast. I would highly recommend this place.

The food is delicious but the waiter creates a bad atmosphere, when he asked for a tip and did not give it, he released the proof of payment with displeasure and when we left he made a gesture to leave since you were bothering you. I DO NOT RECOMMEND GOING. There are more reviews that confirm what I say.

Italian with mostly standard dishes, all of really good quality. Portions are very large, too large in themselves, so that several of us at the table have barely started their main course after the starter...

I was on vacation with my boyfriend to visit an old friend when we accidentally came across Da Vinci while strolling through the area. We found our favorite bar in Berlin on the first evening! The shop is quaint, cozy and authentic. The food is fresh and super tasty and pleases the palate as well as the heart. For your soul, you will find extremely attentive and friendly staff here. Whether kitchen, bar or service - here we know what a successful evening looks like. We were guests at Da Vinci three times this week and thoroughly enjoyed every second! The friend in question was also there on our last evening. He was also thrilled and will visit the restaurant again. We left Berlin with a laughing and a crying eye and are already looking forward to the next visit to be able to visit the Da Vinci again. Many thanks to the great team for this unforgettable time!

Good food, prices normal for the location, good service, nice decor including train movements (but that has charm)

Really good food! Great atmosphere because the crew is just really good! Enjoy

Superb food. Friendly atmosphere.

Perfect atmosphere, it was very tasty. The staff was also very nice and attentive. To recommend :)

The portions are very large, you can also share a pizza if you're not very hungry.
