Don Giovanni in Berlin

Highly recommended! Large selection of dishes, friendly atmosphere and staff, and reasonable prices.

relaxed restaurant, fair prices, but bad pizza.

Beautiful restaurant and the food is delicious

Cheap and delicious food in arrived ambience. The service was very accommodating

I wasn't expecting to find the best Italian food in Germany, however this restaurant was even more deceiving. If you want a microwave pizza, poor service and quite depressing atmosphere, this is your place. I wouldn't recommend it to la mia mamma. We won't come back.

I liked it there, good Italian cuisine at fair prices. Friendly service. Gladly again.

We were satisfied... thank you very much!

I had already relied on a review during my stay in Berlin and was not disappointed. My pizza, the salad were all great, the service was quick and attentive.

Very friendly service. The food was good and the portion was fair

Perdu en vélo , nous nous sommes retrouver en face de ce restaurant. Une pizzeria ,pensent alors que cela allait être bon. Une fois à l’intérieur j’aurais préféré m’en fuir en courant avant de commander en effet la décoration ainsi que la carte remplis de toute sorte de plats nous en dit long sur la qualité ce ce restaurant… Une pizza congelé arrive en 2 min ainsi que des pâtes dégoûtante . A fuir !

....everyone deserves a second chance. However, a not so “good” steak is almost unforgivable.

Awesome cuisine. Clean, beautiful :) Locals speak German poorly... and English is even worse :)))) Everything is great, a little expensive, but the food is very fresh. If you don't like spicy food, let me know right away. And yes - book a table in advance!!

Good price quality food service good

Liked very much the place. Food and service was perfect but little low in ambience. Suppose it is because is Sunday night. Thanks so much.

Super tasty, inexpensive food. And a courteous service.

We found the food very tasty. We happily plan to come back!

The taste of the food was okay, but the waiters do not understand, do not want to know or does not care about how Asian people like sharing their food together. They were very grumpy about giving us 2 more sets of cutleries and 2 small bowls because we wanted to share the food. Please note that all of us have ordered one dish from the menu properly. Also, I heard that they were very unhappy about us staying in the restaurant for more than 1.5 hour, provided that the restaurant was not busy at all and was only half full. We will never come back to this restaurant again as this is the first time I feel pressure from a consistent gaze from waiters which made us very uncomfortable, and it even affected my appetite.

Very nice restaurant. The service is extremely attentive and the kitchen is great. Would love to come back. Greetings from the Harz.

Terrible service that completely ruined our dining experience. We ordered three dishes to share among three people and requested small plates. The waiter reacted with a sour expression, walked off, and muttered something to his colleagues—hopefully not about us. Throughout the meal, he repeatedly hovered near our table, making impatient noises and gesturing to his coworkers as if complaining about us. This happened multiple times, despite the restaurant being nearly empty (only two tables occupied) and it being just 9 PM, with a closing time of midnight. When we finally asked if there was a problem, he brushed us off with a bad attitude. To top it off, the bill included an automatic tip we didn’t agree to. We questioned this, explaining our awful experience, but he denied everything. We paid it reluctantly, but this service was absolutely not worth it!

Just had a pizza at this place, I honestly believe the bier mat would have tasted better. The bearded waiter was one of the most miserable people I've ever met in a waiting capacity, has obviously never heard of the words 'bitte' or 'danke'

The food was really horrible, in addition to extremely tough raw beef there was also stale Alster

For lunch today. Great service, excellent food at a really good price/performance ratio. Really fresh and good food - highly recommended. I'm happy to accept the little blemishes here and there in the ambience. TOP

Die Gegend, wo Alt-Moabit endet und die Invalidenstraße links abzweigt, die 30 Jahre lang nach wenigen hundert Metern an der Grenze zu Ost-Berlin an der Mauer endete, ist auch heute ungeachtet der Nähe zum Hauptbahnhof keine Ausgehmeile und erst recht kein Ort für Fine Dining. Ich kam hier mehr zufällig vorbei und war bei einem flüchtigen Blick auf die Speisekarte verblüfft, daß hier auch Steaks und (erstaunlicherweise) Känguruh-Spezialitäten angeboten werden. Das wollten wir dann doch einmal probieren und obwohl wir hier noch nie eingekehrt sind, wurden wir vom Chef und seinem Mitarbeiter, die hier beide bedienen, in einer fast familiär anmutenden Atmosphäre nett empfangen. Wie wir dabei erfuhren, existiert dieses Lokal hier schon sei mehr als 20 Jahren. Wir kamen nicht mit großen Erwartungen, aber die Qualität der Speisen hat uns dann doch sehr angenehm überrascht. Zum Auftakt wählten wir eine Knoblauchsuppe -- wunderbar duftend und noch besser schmeckend, schön intensiv im Geschmack, mit Rahm und Käse abgeschmeckt und eine Knoblauch-Intensität, die fast ihresgleichen sucht. Am liebsten hätten wir noch eine weitere Portion bestellt. obwohl die gebotene Menge wahrhaftig ausreichend war. Danach geschnetzeltes Känguruh-Filet in einer Soße aus pürierten roten Bohnen, Zwiebeln, Knoblauch und Tomaten -- angenehm scharf, herrlich sämig, einfach ein Gedicht! Übrigens gab es danach trotz dieser Zutaten keinerlei Verdauungsprobleme, zumal die Zwiebeln ja auch nicht roh waren. Eine gewisse Schärfe sollte man allerdings mögen, sonst bestellt man besser Känguruh-Filet in Pilz-Sahnesoße oder mit Curry-Ananas. Die Portion war groß, denn dazu wurde nicht nur eine große Menge Potato Wedges gereicht, sondern auch (im Preis inbegriffen) ein liebevoll angerichteter gemischter Salat mit zwei Sorten Salatblättern, Tomate, geraspelter Karotte und einem feinen Dressing. Das Fleisch war zwar nicht butterzart, aber auch nicht zäh. Es hatte eine sehr schöne charakteristische Geschmacksnote. In Zeiten der mancherorts völlig verrückt anmutenden Forderungen mancher Wirte, die für ein Essen 40 Euro verlangen, das dann nicht einmal die Hälfte wert ist, erlebt man das Don Giovanni als eine Oase vernünftig moderater Preisgestaltung und, soweit das Urteil nach einem Erstbesuch angemessen ist, durchaus hervorragender Qualität.

A down-to-earth, solid restaurant. We were there with friends on Christmas Eve. The menu was extensive plus an extra menu! Requests regarding the side dishes were fulfilled without any problems. The service was friendly and quick. Finally we could under various. Digestif make our choice. We will come again👋

The pizzas looked like pancakes and tasted like them too. The waiter was begging for a tip and when we didn't give one he told us not to come back. The whole restaurant felt like a simulation, maybe that's a result of the cheap prices.

Food was well portioned, very tasty and seasonal.

Food wasn't bad, but certainly not great either. Service had been at the back of handing out kindness. Doable for a group, but if you are alone it is better to skip this door.

The restaurant offers a wide selection of pizzas and steaks. The food was very tasty and extremely inexpensive. The service was nice. Unfortunately, the ambience is getting very old. I would still like to recommend the restaurant.

Friendly service and price quality corresponds!

Food decent and well portioned! Otherwise always very friendly and accommodating! #urban_tester

Yesterday was the last time we will visit the restaurant. For the THIRD time there were discrepancies in the billing. There were supposedly a few drinks open again. We refused to pay for these drinks. The waiter then inquired and told us about the drinks were for another table. The crowning achievement was the waiter's statement that the farewell snap would be canceled BECAUSE we didn't tip enough. The cheekiness doesn't have to be rewarded with further visits.

Super delicious food at excellent prices

Server tried swindling me with an artificial “tourist tax” for a to go order for two totaling about ~ $40. When I informed him I had been twice before with similar orders and there was no such tax, he said that there’s a city wide tax in Berlin of 10%+ at every restaurant. That’s when I called him out on his bluff and he threatened to call police on me and forbid me to return. $4 or $5 dollars isn’t much. But we stood and waited and for quite some time weren’t offered water or anything, which is completely fine. But to lie your way into a tip is dishonoring and speaks to what may be off about this establishment. Lying is always bad business, no matter what. We won’t be returning.

delicious food, cozy atmosphere, will come back 😊

Delicious food at prices like 5 years ago and friendly, fast service. What more could you want?

I ate at your place on my last trip to Berlin, but as soon as I entered the restaurant I noticed that we were getting extremely unfriendly looks. In addition, the service staff were very slow when placing orders and the waiters made meaningless comments about our orders. The food was okay for the price. However, I would not come again and would not recommend the restaurant.

Very tasty food and nice atmosphere. Staff was friendly and attentive. The portions are large. Price performance excellent.

Great service and food value for money is absolutely great, I can only recommend it

Unfortunately we don't live in Berlin. Otherwise we would come here more often. So all we have left is a visit on our next vacation. Very friendly, very tasty, decent portions. We'll definitely be back...

We were there today with 12 people between the ages of 2 and 70. Super nice service, excellent food - all 12 dishes came at the same time! Unfortunately we don't live in Berlin - otherwise we would certainly be regular guests in the future...

Excellent restaurant, everything is right! Always my pleasure

I was recommended this restaurant by a work colleague and I have to say, the praise wasn't a lie. The food was excellent, the costs were moderate. A restaurant that I will visit again and again with other colleagues.

Had pizzas which looked like they were bought from Lidl and put to oven. Food was really poor, service was medium level. Obviously too many items on the menu for them to handle even quarter of them.

Food was really delicious. Service was a bit dead energy but still good.

Always very nice and always friendly staff and the food is really very good. The only thing I don't like is that someone in a wheelchair can't go to the toilet. Otherwise I can only recommend the Don Giovanni restaurant 👍

Really good food i recommend the steaks and the pizzas⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The food was extremely tasty, the staff was friendly.

The meat is very tasty. The pizzas not so much

Top price-performance ratio. Delicious food, flexible staff if you come with 6 more people than planned.

The food was poorly cooked and had an unpleasant odor, as well as being so oily. Additionally, we experienced a significant wait time before receiving our meal. The service was also lacking, as there was only one waiter handling everything. I tried to take nice photos but the taste was not as nice as they looked!!!

A waiter a bit snotty It's just horrible and still hasn't gotten any better

Nice outdoor area for eating, quite a quiet corner and easy to reach by tram. Food was excellent. Pollo / rump steak grilled with chanterelles and broccoli.

Despite a valid and confirmed reservation, there was no reserved table here on the evening before the Berlin Marathon, because apparently none! Reservations would be available for that evening. The owner blamed the reservation platform. This easily affected 100+x guests that evening. The food was okay, but nothing special. As far as the ambience goes, a bit of renovation should help. Foreign language skills (English!) were not necessarily available among the staff. Price/performance was okay, but we won't be coming back.

We ordered a pizza, it was average, they served us reluctantly, I would not return

I ordered takeout, there is no waiting area but they were friendly, the food was very delicious

Mientras el sol se ponía, me senté afuera en el resplandor. El menú era largo e interesante con una mezcla de platos argentinos e italianos. Decidí pasar el canguro, y seleccioné un plato de pasta de Tagliatelle Salmone en una salsa de pimienta en grano rica y cremosa. Para una cerveza elegí el infierno Benedicktiner. Estaba contento con las cantidades y la calidad.

Made the decision to eat here based on the reviews here. And absolutely no regrets. The staff seems stiff but they are friendly. The food is no nonsense and simply good. In terms of the decoration of the restaurant itself...it is a bit dated, yes, but that has its charm. Definitely recommended.

Very pleasant, also when it comes to the prices 👍

The service was very attentive and friendly and the food also tasted very good. I ordered spaghetti aglio e olio but unfortunately didn't see the word "spicy". And it was really, really spicy. So I asked the waiter if I could get some still water or something to neutralize and I was offered a new meal without hesitation. I found that very thoughtful. Many thanks to the service and the kitchen. I'd love to come back there.

excellent food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff

A great, inexpensive restaurant with super nice and courteous service. We enjoyed all the dishes very much. We had a good, cozy meal outside. The food came quickly and for everyone at the same time. The staff was great! Simply great! 👍🏻

Good food! Wide choice of Italian and/or Argentinian cuisine. Fast and correct service. Found another recommendation!

If you wanna try something new and delicious, thats the place you are looking for!

Disastrous service... two people wanted to sit outside... 10 free tables for four... actually almost the entire restaurant was empty... an absolutely unfriendly waiter said they had to sit at a table for two... we complained and got up and went to another pizzeria with excellent service. You shouldn't go here🤮!!!

Great place to eat if you are around Berlin Central Station, it's about a 7-8 minute walk from there. The food is delicious, the service was great and the restaurant itself is very well decorated. Will definitely eat here again!

pizza was like the one from frozen pizzas from the supermarket, not even baked well

Very nice pizzas (no biscuits), well topped and inexpensive.

The food is tasty,but the stuff is unprofessional and rude.Do not come here if you want to enjoy a nice evening with friends or family.There are better options in this town.

Abundant and tasty. What I didn't like is that I asked for water and they brought me a glass already poured... And they don't have wifi.

Was there a week ago. Delicious food, nice service, affordable prices, traditional ambience.

Simple restaurant, great cuisine and surprisingly cheap prices

Super cozy little restaurant. Can definitely recommend other Danes to stop by. We got a Hawaii and a Don Giovanni (the house pizza) tasted super good.

Very tasty food, very friendly staff. Pasta is for garlic lovers :D

Simple Italian restaurant without an Italian. Food OK, ambience unfortunately not. Previously much better than the restaurant "Samirino"...

All you can say is that everything is perfect and you would always prepare fresh food.

Very nice place, pizza giovani very good, not spicy

delicious food but unfriendly staff

In this restaurant you can get great steak for a low price. I always eat here when I'm in Berlin.

A normal restaurant where the average consumer feels comfortable. You can eat and drink decently at reasonable prices, it's clean, and the staff is pleasant and friendly.

Great restaurant….excellent food…highly recommended.

You can be rest assured of a sumptuous meal and a great atmosphere

Very old. Pizza like it comes from the Oetker freezer Spaghetti Carbonara only eaten half... Good wheat beer from the bottle.

Bottomless frozen pizza with gas station ham. Tagliatelle dello Chef was fine. “Determine your own change”

The pizza was like one from the freezer that I can buy at the gas station.

Average pizza, but not bad. Rather small pizza menu. Water very expensive.

Small local Italian restaurant, nice atmosphere and also a time where I think there are few people in the afternoon. Food good and tasty. I left the restaurant satisfied and continued my journey. I'd be happy to come back when I'm in the area.

Super good food Nice atmosphere Polite staff All in all, a real recommendation if you are in the area.

Price performance is good. Not really for a romantic stay with your partner, but a pizza or pasta for lunch works well.

An absolute must for me when I'm in Berlin!

Very tasty, nice staff, large portions, meets all changes, nice ambience outside

The food was good the service was bad. Waited 30 minutes for our drink and 1 hour for the food

Very friendly and attentive service. Special requests will also be addressed and taken into account when ordering. The food is always fresh and very tasty. Attractively presented without much fancy. Down-to-earth, honest cuisine and decent portions. Nobody goes home hungry here. The pickled garlic in olive oil is an absolute must! We visited several times, always with the same good quality and service. Keep it up and see you soon.

Böning was very friendly and the food was very, very good 😋

Went there based on the recommendation of the Motel1 reception and were not disappointed. OK, the plastic palm trees are special, but the pasta and pizza were really tasty and quite cheap.

Excellent salads and great service.

The place is nice, but the service and food not so much, we ordered two pizzas and a pasta. The pasta was a little salty, the vegetarian pizza was too loaded and the base was moist. The staff was good but nothing extraordinary, like they didn't give us any importance. In the end we didn't finish the food we ordered, I don't recommend it if you have other options. Sorry, I don't even feel like taking photos of the food.

Very good and inexpensive food.

The portions were large but lacked a bit of flavor. The price is ok for the quality, but is an ok to eat. Atmosphere is also cozy

We are arranged for a large party. Five extra people came that were not part of our reservation but wanted their own table. The staff was irritated by this. Extra pizzas and soda were brought that no one ordered. At the end, the staff wanted us to pay for unordered items. We reminded them we didn’t order them and they were sent back. We were verbally abused for the extra five that came in that were not part of our reservation. The food was good but it wasn’t good enough to go back and deal with the attitude of the staff.

Interesting schnitzel variations and a good selection of food and drinks. The atmosphere is sober, but the service is good and the prices are quite reasonable.
