Donna Francesca in Berlin

We've been wanting to have dinner here for some time. Yesterday it finally worked and we weren't disappointed. From the first bite to the last, everything tasted very good. We had pasta with mussels which was obviously freshly made and just delicious. The waitress was also very nice and recommended an extremely delicious dessert, the pistachio souffle. The ambience is somewhat modern and cool, but that is certainly a question of taste.

Excellent food, good service, pleasant atmosphere

Gnocchi al gorgonzola absolutely delicious!

Grocery moths came from the kitchen as well as fruit flies! I had invited friends...pizza was flabby and bland, not enjoyable, when I discovered the moths I was full, pasta was almost raw so it was inedible. Simply terrible. 🤮🆘️🆘️🆘️

It was once again a wonderfully delicious meal at Donna Francesca. The food is delicious and the staff is extremely friendly and attentive. There were ten of us and we ate à la cart; all the dishes came at the same time and were of the usual excellent quality. A little Bella Ialia in Berlin, many thanks to the Donna Francesca team, we'll be happy to come back.

I hope we just had a bad day! The food was careless and sloppy and didn't taste good. We were very disappointed!

Order the food online easily. Went there to pick up at the suggested time. Waited briefly and was handed a bag with the wonderful food. That's how it should be. Gladly again.

Wir haben diesen Italiener gestern zufällig bei unserem Sonntagsausflug zum Tegeler See mit unserem Hund entdeckt. Das Essen ist super authentisch und hervorragend. Wir hatten Focaccia mit Gorgonzola und Mozzarella di Búfala. Ein absolutes Highlight ist das hauseigene Olivenöl. Wir haben vom zuvorkommenden Kellner eine Flasche käuflich erwerben können.

We celebrated our silver wedding anniversary here. It was a great day. The food was great, the service was great but unobtrusive. It is clear that quality has its price! We can absolutely recommend the restaurant.

It's been a long time since I tried chef Gaetano's cuisine and a trip to Germany with the family in the middle of August was the right opportunity. The detour to get to Donna Francesca was once again worth the trip. Simple cuisine but with combinations capable of surprising and excellent raw materials treated with skill. A quality cellar, impeccable service and a cool temperature were the setting for a splendid evening.

Very familiar and cozy atmosphere. The food is always good, Pizza Tonno was huge and juicy. Baby calamari very very good and fresh. The dessert with “many variations” on a plate is the crowning glory.

High quality and fresh Italian cuisine

Very tasty, authentic, warm. All dishes including meat dishes from the daily menu, coffee and dessert are prepared to perfection. Very nice!

It was our first time there... the food was great - the fish was fresh and the waiters were extremely friendly!

I'm happy with the food and everything else too!!!

Pizza very tasty and really huge! Price / offer: Very good. We recommend.

what a great place to feel comfortable, we would love to come back, food great, service courteous and a place where you feel like you are on vacation

Had nothing to do with a good Italian. Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed. Parma pizza without ham and tomatoes Mozzarella pizza without tomatoes and the pasta was unfortunately also bottomless. The only good thing was that the pizza wasn't charged. Otherwise, unfortunately, give the store a wide berth in the future.

A very special place with very attentive waiters and a cozy atmosphere and fantastic food, we look forward to the next visit

Unfortunately we were disappointed. The food was below average, the ham was forgotten in the Parma pizza and the tomatoes were forgotten in the tomato mozzarella pizza. The rest wasn't good either. For the prices, you definitely expect a lot more. Definitely not a second time, what a shame.

A lovely evening for two, the food was delicious, the vongole was really made with vongole and not just pasta, great wine selection! A highlight in Alt Tegel🤩 will be back ❤️🇮🇹🍾 arrivederci

A super authentic environment, with real Italian people who completely round off the flair. The starters and the dessert variety were great. The main courses were ok, but overall a really good impression!

We were at Donna Francesca's last night, the waiters are very, very friendly, very attentive, always ready to smile. The food was wonderful. Of course I come back very often.

We went to Donna Francesca completely by chance. We got past it and it looked pretty nice. Then it was. Inside it looks very elegant, so we thought we were definitely going to be poor. There was bruschetta, which I didn't eat, but everyone else thought it was very good. We all decided on the Parma pizza, which we found to be okay at 16.50 euros because it had plenty of toppings. Unfortunately, lasagne was out, which was a shame. We are happy that we discovered Donna Francesca and we certainly won't be there for the last time.

Great food and service but a bit too pricey to be honest. 18-20 euros per pizza-pasta dish is a bit too much not to say the 7,50euros for san pelegrino sparkling water woter... it's quite a rip off https://www.rewe.de/produkte/san-pellegrino-mineralwasser-medium-1l/2040510/?ecid=pla_google_vs_nonbr_pm_getr%C3%A4nke-genussmittel_lia_19638956520_146010112979_pid%3A2040510_ch%3Alocal_nn_d%3Ac&marketCode=1931258

Great evening restaurant highly recommended for a special occasion

They no longer had what I wanted. They no longer had what my brother-in-law wanted. After we had eaten our main courses and wanted to order desserts, we were ignored or not seen. Unfortunately, the ambience is not particularly appealing due to the gray walls and Ikea chairs. For the price you pay I just expect a little more.

A constant bank for high quality and best service!

We celebrated our daughter's birthday, the staff was super friendly, the service was great, the food tasted great and we'd love to come back.

We are with Tanio, the Sicilian. If I want to eat well, I go there, to Donna Francesca. The goods come from first-class suppliers and some directly from Sicily. I don't have to worry about what's on the table. Tanio knows how to handle this product: with love, joy and lots of variety. The creations that come to the table cannot be found on every corner. Bravo. The service is friendly and very professional; they are happy to respond to requests or suggest something. What more do you want? Keep it up. See you soon, Michel

Donna Francesca is ours Favorite restaurant: Whenever we want to eat very well, we go here. Here we feel welcome, discuss with the waiter or the boss what we would like to eat and drink with it and are always very satisfied with the advice and what we get. My vegetarian menu wishes are very happy to be implemented; the perfect preparation of meat or fish makes my gourmet happy. The dessert offering also shows the desire to offer something special, both in variety and presentation. It is exceptional Italian cuisine. Mostly vegetables and other foods imported directly from Sicily. The tasteful furnishings are the icing on the cake… The restaurant is worth a trip

The food is actually very Italian, which means less sauce than usual with run-of-the-mill Italians. Portions are reasonable. Prices a little above normal. Ambiance inside is a matter of taste for me it was a bit too sterile. Personally I like it a bit more comfortable.

I don't understand the good reviews, I found hair in my food several times!! The price is far too expensive for this normal food, nothing special but you should pay more attention to hygiene, just disgusting

The main courses arrived very late, which is not normal for pasta. Aglio Olio was bad, the pasta was hard. It's too loud in the restaurant, it's hard to have a conversation. We won't be back any time soon. A pity

The food was very good. The service was quick and friendly. Unfortunately there is no espresso on the house.

The food was extremely good. The service was very attentive. The tables for two are too close together for me, but otherwise the ambience is very nice. We'd love to come back.

I would be happy to pass on a recommendation from a colleague 😊… it was a great evening

We were thrilled by the excellent food, friendly service and modern ambience. We'd love to come back!

The Antipasti where amazing, the staff very friendly and professional. Lovely place, highly recommended

Food was delicious, service very attentive and polite. Enjoyed it!

The waiter was probably tired, he was shuffling with his feet, his legs were probably heavy. But he was able to talk loudly and a lot with his colleagues. If you don't order anything, you won't get anything to drink, empty glasses are constantly overlooked.

The service was great, but the lasagne I've ordered was partially cold and with no spices at all..

The food, the service, everything around was very good! There were two of us there and we had a starter request, which was fulfilled immediately and very tasty. Happy to come back!

As always, great food and very attentive service. See you next time.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening with great service and very good food. An absolutely recommended restaurant, we would love to come back :))

We wanted to have lunch in their restaurant around 2 p.m. today (5 seniors). We were turned away very abruptly and unfriendly; there was no table available for us. Never happened to me before. Incredible.

Nice restaurant. Food of varying quality

It's always a great experience at Donna Francesca! We've celebrated all of our special events with you... and it's always incredibly delicious. Great wines, dishes prepared with love. The service is wonderful! Everything great!

Excellent food and a great ambience. My favorite was the vegetarian antipasti.

Very personal support and advice. The food is hot and of fresh quality. I love eating with sparkling cutlery, warm plates and cloth napkins. I found the prices reasonable. It's worth choosing the table where you want to eat on site. A successful evening is guaranteed.

Actually a very nice restaurant - also in terms of ambience, clearly the best in Tegel. But once again the food wasn't so good; for example the pasta with salmon and zucchini. The advertised lobster sauce was not found in the food, the taste was totally bland - we had to add a lot of salt, luckily there was olive oil free of charge. Somehow the portions are big enough but the taste isn't that great. The others at the table weren't overly enthusiastic about their other food either. Plus everything is very expensive.

It was super tasty and the service was very accommodating. The ambience is crazy.

We have been regular guests for several years and can recommend it to everyone. We chose the main courses from the daily menu and the starter and dessert from the main menu. It was great as always. Great service, simply great!!

Perfect evening. The best Italian far and wide!

Bonjour très bien super personnel vito Nicola la cuisine le chef merci à vous tous

Tolles italienisches Restaurant mit erstklassiger Küche. Die Salate sind großartig und die Pizzen sind sehr lecker. Guter Service und nette Bedienung.

Tisch war zugig kalt mit Blick auf die Küche und viel Geklapper von dort. Ambiente sonst schön. Stühle unbequem. Essen geschmacklos, kaum gewürzt, keine italienischen Kräuter, Kellner unaufmerksam…

Expensive pizza,and not tasty. Made like “what have found in refrigerator,that put in pizza”. I will not came again

Das Essen war sehr gut, der Service äußerst freundlich. Das Ambiente passt ohne Einschränkungen, die Preise sind fair. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Es gibt im Norden von Berlin kein italienisches Restaurant, was dem gleich kommt. Service großartig, Kellner umsichtig, Essen auf dem Punkt und alles mega - lecker! Immer wieder gern!

Es war ein sehr schöner Abend. Etwas teurer als bei anderen Italienern , aber dafür auch ein sehr gutes Essen. Mein Schweinefilet war sehr durchgebraten, es wurde sofort noch einmal neu für mich gemacht. Hat auch wirklich nicht lange gedauert.

Sehr tolles italienische Ambiente, man spürt ein stück Italien, sehr gemütlich. Das essen mega lecker, das Personal gibt ein das Gefühl gut auf gehoben zu sein. Danke für den tollen Abend und essen

Super lecker 😀.. sehr nette Bedienung

Sehr schmackhaftes Essen. Frische Zutaten. Gemüse auf den Punkt gegart. Soßen ganz köstlich. Der Service ist herzlich und auch für einen kleinen Plausch zu haben. Die Tageskarte wird am Tisch vorgetragen. Preis-Leistung ist sehr gut. Wir kommen wieder.

Went there for office team lunch. The food was superb. I had the Tagliatelle ala Salmone. One of the best Pastas I've had since moving to Germany. And for Dessert I had the Tiramisu. It was fabulous. So soft and moist and the cherry jam with crumble complemented the tiramisu very well.

Super leckere gemischte Fisch-Vorspeisenplatte. Komme wieder

Super leckeres Essen! Alle im Service sind superaufmerksam und sehr freundlich. Ich werde zum Wiederholungstäter!

Hervorragend!!! Wir waren zu dritt am vergangenen Sonnabend in diesem Restaurant und haben dort zu Mittag gegessen. Die Speisen waren ein hervorragender Genuss !!! Wir können dieses Restaurant zu 100% weiter empfehlen und werden natürlich wiederkommen 😀❗️

Wir waren hier am Abend unserer Hochzeit, sehr zu empfehlen, äußerst netter und zuvorkommender Service, ausgezeichnete Küche. Wir sind sehr zufrieden.

Nette Atmosphäre, riesige Pizza

Sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Haben zu viert einen Tisch ohne Reservierung bekommen. Das Essen wurde zeitgleich serviert, keine musste warten. Es war köstlich!

Wir kommen wieder, dann zum Dinner.

Ein typisches italienisches Restaurant/ sizilianische Küche- sehr lecker!

Angenehme Atmosphäre, aufmerksamer Service und sehr schmackhaftes Essen. Kann man nur empfehlen.

Freundlicher, aufmerksamer Service, im Innen- und Außenbereich sehr angenehme Atmosphäre, Essen und Getränke prima, Preise ok.

Hurra,ein echter Italiener-Sizilianer, authentische Küche liebevoll und schmackhaft angerichtete "Küche", nette Kellner,ein schöner Nachmittag,und die superleckerste Dessertkreation,die ich je gegessen habe.... BRAVO!

Immer ein Besuch wert. Essen wie in Italien, sehr lecker Service sehr zuvorkommend und aufmerksam. Wir freuen uns schon auf den nächsten Besuch

Der Italiener befindet sich in der fussgängerzone in Tegel. Es gibt einen aussenbereich. Witterungsbedingt saßen wir jedoch drinnen. Netter Service. Wir waren eine Gruppe von 15 Personen und alle bekamen gleichzeitig ihr Essen. Einrichtungen ist gehoben.

Wie das Brigantino in Steglitz, das Sapori di Casa in Mitte oder das Focaccino in Charlottenburg auf sizilianische Küche spezialisiert. Was mir gefallen hat: die karierten Tischdecken, sowie die Oliven- und Orangenbäumchen. Das Brot mit Olivenöl als Vorspeise. Orechiette und Burrata auf der Karte. Das gibt es nicht in allen italienischen Restaurants. Der Service wirkte routiniert. Das Essen insgesamt gut, aber auch nicht umwerfend. Ich würde sagen gehobene Mittelklasse. Meiner Meinung nach fehlt etwas zur 5 Sterne Bewertung. Vielleicht liegt es am Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, das für mich nicht vollkommen überzeugend ist. Die Qualität der Gerichte entspricht nicht dem relativ hohen Preis. Die Pasta Gerichte z.B. sind überwiegend mit fettiger Sahnesauce. Etwas mehr Vielfalt bei den Gerichten würde die Speisekarte noch attraktiver machen.

Gutes Ristorante mit leckerer Küche.

Sehr aufmerksam, sehr freundlich und ein wirklich angenehmer Besuch. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Hatte eine Fischplatte 1 Person für 28,- Euro. Die "Menge" ein Witz und das für den Preis. Der Geschmack so la, la. Insgesamt nicht zu empfehlen!

Immer wenn wir im Sommer in Alt Tegel sind gehen wir hier essen 🥰. Diesmal schien uns der gewohnte Service nicht so zu stimmen. Uns wurde ein Tisch zugewiesen der voll mit Blättern und sonstigem von Bäumen war. Das die Tische unter den Schatten spendenden Bäumen stehen wissen wir. Erwartet hätten wir dass der Tisch für den Gast beim setzten gesäubert wird. Dem war nicht so 😐. Das haben wir dann selbst erledigt. Auch war der Ober bei der Bestellaufnahme "nicht bei uns" 😔 Sein Blick schweifte über die Terrasse zu anderen Gästen. Kennen wir eigentlich so nicht...... Das ausgesuchte Essen war lecker und der Wein 🍷 sowie der Grappa danach mundeten! Wir kommen nächsten Sommer wieder!

Super Essen und Service, nette Gegend aber etwas laut und viele Raucher.

Lovely atmosphere and perfect place to taste Italian cuisine.

Everything was great. We loved the food and the service and will be back soon!

Wir, d. H. Unser Praxis Team freuen uns immer unseren Ausflug in Tegel mit einem Erstklassigen Essen in Donna Francesca krönen zu können, wir kommen wieder👍👍👍👍👍

Einfach super schön und lecker. Für jedem zu empfehlen 😉👍

Das Essen war großartig!! Schade, dass die Fotos die gute Qualität der Gerichten nicht beschreiben können...

Juni 2023: Es war wieder, wie auch zwischendurch, sehr lecker und gut. Die Kellner sehr freundlich und aufmerksam, das Essen sehr lecker und, sowie Brot und Olivenöl vorab, von sehr guter Qualität. Immer gerne wieder :-) früher: Sehr leckeres Essen, frisches Brot, Olivenöl und Brot vorab, nette und freundliche Bedienung. Immer wieder gerne. WC im Keller.

Рекомендую. Очень хорошая локация. Спокойный бульвар, можно так назвать где находится ресторан. Огромная благодарность шеф повару и обслуживающему персоналу.

Die Pizza war sehr lecker. Jederzeit wieder.

Wo soll ich anfangen.... Zu allererst haben wir 10 min auf unsere Speisekarten gewartet und uns diese letztendlich selber geholt. Als wir dann endlich unser Essen bestellen konnten, ging es dann doch recht schnell. Ich habe ein Langsange gegessen, nicht nur das diese 5 min nach den anderen gerichteten kam, sondern war auch noch in der Mitte kalt, wie aus der Mikrowelle. Zudem hatten wir eine Tomatensuppe bestellt, diese war gut, dennoch fehlte das auf der Karte versprochene Brot. Dann hatten wir außerdem noch das Foccacia Bruschetta bestellt dieses war gut genauso wie das Tiramisu. Was dem ganzen dann noch den Rest gegeben hat war, dass 10 min vor Ladenschließung eine Stimmung aufkam, als würde das Restaurant uns rausschmeißen wollen. Das Licht wurde erheblich gedimmt, sodass man fast im dunklen gegessen hat. Insgesamt eine nicht so gute Erfahrung.

Sehr leckere Speisen , sehr freundlicher Service, gute Weinauswahl und nette Aussicht. Sehr zu empfehlen !

Sehr gute italienische Küche Super Weine

Sehr nettes Restaurant 😊👍. Ein Besuch lohnt sich.

Echter Italiener ! Mile Gracie Vito :)

Hervorragendes Italienisches Restaurant. Sehr schön gelegen, ruhig und mit herrlichen Sitzplätzen außen. Küche sehr gut, Service aufmerksam. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Das Restaurant ist einladend und das Essen ist lecker. Allerdings habe ich woanders auch schon besser gegessen. Gerade die Pizza hat mich nicht überzeugt. Ich werde dennoch wiederkommen.

The real taste of italian cuisine. not like the other italian restaurants ruined by other chefs
