essenza Leipziger Straße 125 GmbH in Berlin - Telefonnummer, Reservierungen, Bewertungen

Good food, friendly staff and pleasant indoor terrace. A little expensive though. And the toilets were really not clean.

Nice atmosphere in the courtyard good food amazing tiramisu

Exceptionally good food and service.

Menu significantly reduced, service was good, unfortunately we waited a very long time for the main courses, one dish was delivered incorrectly, the restaurant was not that full, prices have increased significantly, ambience is great

Beautiful and super tasty. The service is A1

The service is great. The menu is excellent and could even be extended as the dishes are so good. Simply good. We loved it, so much so that we came back a second time. An address we love. Come !

Very nice restaurant, staff is very friendly and the food pretty good

Very tasty pizza, good coffee and kind waiters.

The best atmosphere and the service is out of this world. Best food in Berlin! Restaurant everyone should try at least once!

Great truffle pasta. Somehow rich but not super heavy like other truffled pastas I have had. Nice service and good outdoor seating. Lamb dish and beef ravioli also a highlight. Portions were surprisingly generous.

A really an unpleasant experience. Portion size was fine but the Tagliolini we ordered arrived cold. Truly unfriendly And unprofessional service from the waiter (I believe his name was Constantino from overhearing the staff calling him). He was scruffy looking (shirt hanging out of his pants) and seemed to scowl at us on more than one occasion. When we asked for a dessert/sweet wine he served us something that did not taste like one at all, while he assured us that it was and that he recommended it. Only positive thing during the evening was the espresso.

KEINE EMPFEHLUNG UNSERERSEITS!! sehr schlechte Bedienung, er wusste selbst nicht was er auf der Karte hat und wieder sprach uns ganze Zeit. Als ich was vegetarisches wollte was auch auf der Karte abgezeichnet war. Es gab kein Salat, nach hin und her diskutieren kamen paar Salat Blätter auf ein Teller. als wir ihn doch fragten uns Garnelen auf unser Salat zu legen mit Aufpreis natürlich !! kam nur von ihm eine Garnele kostet 7€ !! Sehr unfreundlich und nicht zuvorkommend. Das Restaurant sieht zwar wow aus auch die Qualität ist top doch ich würde da niemals mehr hin.

All to our taste, a family evening with dishes from our culinary culture, two appetizers, an octopus with potatoes and peas and a pizza with mortadella and istacchio, and three first courses, penne with sauce, gnocchi with prawns and lime and ravioli to braised meat. Everything excellent! I give 4 stars and not 5 due to the little light in the room, even the eye wants its part.

Beautiful room with an outdoor terrace, perfect for when the sun shines. Short attractive menu. Food was very fairly priced. Nice wine list. I was taken by surprise by how nice the room was. Very upscale when considering the fair prices. You can access the restaurant via the terrace which opens into the Mall of Berlin or from the street. The restaurant opens all day. The Mall of Berlin is a fab shopping centre.

The furnishings and ambience are high quality, the service was very attentive, and the food tasted very good.

If the food was good but the service was better, you have to rate it that way. Excellent

Bad service from waiter and pasta watery overcooked. We did not lije the food

Absolutely fine, I loved everything I ate, service is really amazing and nice! I strongly suggest to go!

Very very good!!!!!!! The food is amazing, the service is incredible and the place is really beautiful 🫶🏼

Spectacular, good food, very nice place, excellent service, the owner is Italian and it shows.

They serve very nice wine there, I liked it very much, regards 🤤🤤

This Italian restaurant has a very good menu. We ate here twice while staying in Berlin. The food tastes beautiful and looks beautiful on the plate. The service is excellent. There is outdoor seating available at the back. I would highly recommend.

Unfortunately not enough pepperoni sausage on my pizza. It was more of a Margherita.

The service was top notch. As was our food. We ordered a pizza and steak with mushroom crust. We actually were surprised at how good the food was.

The waiters were super friendly, the atmosphere was perfect with live music, the food was delicious, but the portion of my pasta was for people who were very hungry. Still recommended for special occasions

This was by FAR the worst pasta I have ever eaten. Prices are not appropriate. Service very nice

Welcoming environment, impeccable service, excellent cuisine and interesting wine list. Correct quality/price ratio. If you want to immerse yourself in a true Italian quality experience this is the right place.

It was very nice, although very crowded. Nice waiters. Great food. Were there in a group of 16 people. Definitely going back

We thought we would find an Italian restaurant and eat pizza. When we looked in, we saw a very nice and stylish room. Our first thought was that this would surely be expensive or too expensive for a simple pizza meal. But we were very well received and were served very good pizza. The prices were perfectly normal, and the meal was very much worth the price. The waiter was very pleasant and good at (quite a lot of) small talk. There was also lovely live music which we really enjoyed! We planned to come back the next day to try something else on the menu, but unfortunately it was closed then

Vi tenkte vi skulle finne en italiensk restaurant og spise pizza. Da vi kikket inn så vi et veldig fint og stilig lokale. Vår første tanke var at dette sikkert ville bli dyrt eller for dyrt for et enkelt pizza-måltid. Men vi ble veldig godt tatt imot og fikk servert veldig god pizza. Det var helt normale priser, og måltidet var i aller høyeste grad verdt prisen. Servitøren var veldig hyggelig og god på (passelig mye) small talk. Det var også nydelig levende musikk som vi likte godt! Vi planla å komme tilbake neste dag for å prøve noe annet på menyen, men da var det dessverre stengt.

If you're looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in Berlin, Essenza on Via Leipziger is an excellent choice. I had the pleasure of dining here and was impressed by the quality of the food and the welcoming atmosphere. Both Italians, Germans or other foreigners who wish to experience true Italian flavors will find a wide range of delicious options in this restaurant. The dishes are prepared with care and attention to detail, demonstrating the chefs' passion for authentic Italian cuisine. The staff is polite, friendly and very professional, always ready to assist you and make your experience pleasant. The atmosphere of the restaurant is elegant, but at the same time relaxed, which makes it ideal for both intimate dinners and business meetings. If you are in Berlin and want to taste the best of Italian cuisine, “Essenza” is a must. Highly recommended for anyone who loves good food and Italian hospitality. I have been back several times, excellent for both lunch and dinner with a varied menu.

Se cerchi un ristorante italiano autentico a Berlino, "Essenza" in Leipziger Str. è il posto giusto. Il cibo è eccellente, il personale cortese e l'atmosfera raffinata ma accogliente. Ideale sia per italiani che per chiunque voglia provare i veri sapori italiani. Assolutamente consigliato.

Great Italian food! We all love it and the warm service was a huge plus as well.

Great service!! Ordered fillet medium and received it almost raw! Side dishes: 2 pieces of carrot and a small potato cut in half Some of the food was cold, a friend had ordered pasta and got the parmesan 10 minutes later We were with 8 people, 7 of whom were not satisfied Price performance for the food only 1 star

We had a wonderfully reinterpreted Parmigiana as a starter, which started an enjoyable evening that ended with a delicious dolci including coffee. Service and ambience are excellent as always. As a guest you simply feel comfortable and enjoy your time in the restaurant. Thank you also for the exciting exchange on the topic of “Italian wines”.

1 hour waiting for spaghettis. Hard and chewy, Not sure what it should taste like but we needed parmesan, salt, pepper and oil to be able to make it edible. Of course, fancy expensive. Won't come back.

We were there for lunch and were very satisfied. The service is attentive and discreet. The food was very tasty and beautifully prepared. Since I didn't like the open red wine offered, a solution was found quickly and easily - that's good customer service. There are only cloth napkins, it's nice to avoid unnecessary paper napkins at lunchtime, people consciously live their own standards here. We'll definitely be back!

Lovely meal for my birthday. The starter and steak were very delicious. Would highly recommend. The service was very friendly as well. A good evening

Really accomadating and nice staff, fit and served our entire group of 32. The food was delicious and didn't take as long as experted. The server was also funny and charming:)

Great staff and very enjoyable food

The service was excellent, the atmosphere was cozy, and we enjoyed our meal (burrata and salad, along with a plate of pasta and pizza paired with Moscato). We had a great time!

A nice Italian restaurant with friendly staff. Seems a bit more upscale. The food is tasty but not quite commensurate with the prices. The highlight was the starter: Vitello Tonnato with beef instead of veal. A little different but still very tasty. In summary, a nice Italian but not a must.

I went for lunch and it was well priced but the noodles for both my and my friend's meals were.overcooked, so mushy. I like the atmosphere and we didn't need a reservation (they asked though)

Food was good but need a bit more variety in pasta and pizza

Outstanding! An oasis of quality and perfect service, Essenza is one of the rare places in Berlin where you can quietly enjoy a fine dinner for a reasonable price. The staff is always present, trained and unstressed and the atmosphere is one of sophisticated relaxation. We've visited many times and have always enjoyed it, a definite recommendation for all. Thanks to the team for many wonderful evenings.

Great place, good food, nice atmosphere

I came here because of the reviews. Unfortunately, none of that was right. I ordered the following: crespelle, Pasta pomodoro, Bruschetta, Beer Wine, Apple juice. To start with, the bruschetta and the food all came at the same time. I got the strong feeling that she wanted us out quickly. Crespelle was a pancake that they had divided in half with maybe 3 shrimps in it, even though this is one of the most expensive dishes. The taste was short from bad. I don't think you can ruin the pasta pomodoro, luckily the chef didn't do that😂. The bruschetta was literally three slices of bread with melted cheese????? I'm a lover of Italian food and cooking, but I think bruschetta is something else. The worst part was that I really paid the top price here: 14 euros for three slices of bread. The beer was good but that was German. Wine was good that was French. The apple juice glass was broken. After we had eaten everything was cleared within 2 minutes, I still hadn't finished my drinks. A tip for men: instead of speaking Italian and acting a bit arrogant and flamboyant, I would rather invest in good Italian cooking.

WOW Everything was professional Well done ✔️

Simply magnificent. Italian specialties at the highest level at reasonable prices. Well, the starters and desserts could have been a little bigger, but this isn't about filling yourself up, it's about enjoyment and the experience.

Great Italian Restaurant with a cool ambience

I've eaten there twice now with a larger group and everyone said afterwards that they enjoyed it. The price is justified for the quality served. The employees are always friendly.

I have to say that the food is very good. Prices are of course slightly higher for the location, but the rent, the staff and the location also have to be financed.

Great restaurant with great food!

Tried it last night for dinner, classy environment, excellent cuisine and very professional staff attentive to customer needs. If you are looking for an excellent Italian restaurant in Berlin, here you are in the right place. I forgot, really honest account

I had the pleasure to celebrate new years @essenza. What a blast. The food, the heartwarming service and the atmosphere. Great people. Beyond my expectations. Thank you guys.

An absolute great surprise! First, I didn’t expect the place to be so beautiful and curated. And they even have an inside courtyard terrace: amazing! Second, Cosmin, the Restaurant Manager, is just the perfect host and makes you immediately feel welcomed and taken care of. Last but not least, the food: stunning! True Italian food (and I am a difficult Italian client as I am very used to high standards in Milan where I am from!), yet revisited with a modern twist. Everything was delicious. Bravo chef! Strongly recommended if you are looking for a great Italian dinner in a lovely place.

Un restaurant où tout est parfait. Rien à redire. Je recommande vivement !

I went in there on my way back from Tiergarten and the food was very nice and also the service was really nice as well.

Das Essen hier war sehr lecker. Die Bedienung war freundlich und aufmerksam. Nach dem Essen spielte eine Dame sogar noch Geige. Sollten wir wieder mal in Berlin sein, dann kommen wir wieder!

Wirklich richtig schick und lecker! Das Ambiente ist gediegen gemütlich. Die Auswahl der Speisen übersichtlich und völlig ausreichend. Das Vitello Tonato schafft es locker unter meine Top-5 Vitellos! Die Pizza hatte einen ordentlichen Teigrand und war sehr lecker! Das Ganze wurde von sehr aufmerksamen Kellnern begleitet, sodass mein „schnelles Abendessen“ ein ausgiebiger Genuss wurde! Gerne bald wieder…mit mehr Zeit!😉👍

Sehr leckeres Essen und hervorragender Service!

Essenza is an elegant venue just a few steps from Potsdamer Platz, Berlin. The atmosphere is classy and highly recommended for a romantic dinner or important business meals. The dining area is spacious and can accommodate large groups. The venue features a stylish open kitchen where you can see the chefs at work. The cuisine is excellent and offers some Italian specialties that are hard to find abroad. The service staff is attentive and always available; the waiters speak multiple languages. The coffee at the end of the meal was particularly good! Overall, I had a great experience, and I will definitely return. Essenza ist ein elegantes Lokal nur wenige Schritte vom zentralen Potsdamer Platz in Berlin entfernt. Die Atmosphäre ist gehoben und besonders für ein romantisches Abendessen oder wichtige Geschäftsessen zu empfehlen. Der Speisesaal ist geräumig und bietet Platz auch für große Gruppen. Das Lokal verfügt über eine stilvolle offene Küche, in der man den Köchen bei der Arbeit zusehen kann. Die Küche ist ausgezeichnet und bietet einige italienische Spezialitäten, die im Ausland schwer zu finden sind. Das Servicepersonal ist aufmerksam und stets verfügbar; die Kellner sprechen mehrere Sprachen. Besonders gut war der Kaffee am Ende des Mahls! Insgesamt habe ich mich sehr wohl gefühlt und werde sicherlich wiederkommen

Ottima cucina italiana e nell'ambiente! Consiglio...

去之前看评价觉得很好很好，实际品尝觉得还好吧…但服务是没得说，小哥非常有情商，赞美！老板加工资！

Awesome experience. Authentic Italian food served in a very cool location. The staff pays attention to every single detail and need of the customer. Atmosphere is super cozy. The staff is the most friendly staff I've experienced in Berlin so far. 5 stars on everything but would give even more👏🏻keep up the good work 🇮🇹

Ein wunderbares Restaurant um gut italienisch essen zu , wir kommen gerne wieder.

Very accommodating staff, we came in for an impromptu lunch on a rainy midweek day, and were made to feel welcome.allowed me to order something off another menu & treated us very well.Authentic italian fare, beautifully cooked & served. we will make a point of returning next time we are back in Berlin

Wir haben nur Getränke konsumiert. Wurden aber bestens beraten und bedient.

Very Nice!! Good food and wonderful wine.

Essen sehr lecker nur sehr übersichtliche Portion gehobenen Preise

Wir haben uns spontan entschieden,dort Essen zu gehen und wir waren begeistert. Das Essen war sehr lecker die Kellner waren sehr net und aufmerksam.Alles in allem war es ein sehr toller Abemd und ich kann es jedem weiterempfehlen. Vielen herzlichen Dank

Gutes Essen, sehr wenig Auswahl

Super dîner avec un groupe de musique

Schön eingerichtetes italienisches Restaurant. Überschaubare Karte. Freundliche Bedienung. Größere Auswahl an offenen Weinen wäre super. Empfehlenswert.

Rigtig hyggelig atmosfære, virkelig god betjening og lækker mad til en god pris. Kan rigtig godt anbefales.

The outside doesn't give you an impression of the luxurious interior and delicious lunch that awaits. The octopus starter is devine and Zander fillet main were spectacular. Also, the best Gavi I've had.

A real Italian Gem in Berlin First of all, a big thanks to Matteo and his team. It was such an incredible experience. Finally, an Italian restaurant, not the classic pretending to be Italian. The atmosphere was incredible. The design was lovely, with outstanding attention to details. Food was literally incredible! Spaghetti aglio and olio with prawns were the kings of our table. One of my guests (from Ferrara, Italy) said: "it seems needed to go to Berlin to find a perfect pasta. Service was spot on, Giuseppe on top, such an incredible worker, funny, very professional, and competent, always smiling Highly recommended .

Liebe Google Maps-Nutzer, als Google Local Guide hatte ich kürzlich das Vergnügen, das essenza in der Leipziger Straße in Berlin Mitte zu besuchen, und ich bin restlos begeistert. Dieses Restaurant bietet nicht nur ein fantastisches Ambiente, sondern auch eine hervorragend ausgebildete Bedienung. Das Essen im essenza war schlichtweg phänomenal. Die Vielfalt an Gerichten, die Qualität der Zutaten und die raffinierten Geschmackskombinationen haben mich beeindruckt. Die Weinauswahl war ebenso beeindruckend und ergänzte das kulinarische Erlebnis perfekt. Die Vorspeisen waren köstlich und bereiteten den Gaumen auf das Hauptgericht vor, das in meinem Fall ein wahres Highlight war. Das Dessert rundete das Mahl perfekt ab und war ein echter Genuss. Natürlich ist das essenza preislich im gehobenen Segment angesiedelt, aber ich kann ohne Zweifel sagen, dass sich jeder Euro lohnt. Dieses Restaurant bietet ein unvergleichliches kulinarisches Erlebnis, das jeden Cent wert ist. Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach einer exquisiten gastronomischen Erfahrung in Berlin Mitte sind, sollten Sie das essenza unbedingt besuchen. Ich freue mich schon jetzt auf meinen nächsten Besuch dort.

Waren nach einen Termin mit Arbeitskollegen mittags da und es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Sehr netter Service und man sitzt sowohl drinnen als auch draußen im Innenhof sehr schön. Nudelgerichte alle sehr lecker, ich hatte die Casarecce mit Zucchinicreme und Salsiccia. Der Salat vorab war auch gut.

45 minuti per ricevere da mangiare… la cosa più assurda è che il menu era prestabilito.

Tolles italienisches Restaurant mit zuvorkommender Bedienung. Die Carbonara war sehr gut! Gerne wieder.

A perfect spot in Berlin mitte both for food and wine lovers. The plates are really tasty and made with accurate ingredients choice, as well the wine selection pretty cool 🤩

Ein kleiner verträumte Ort an der Leipziger Str.. Besonders schön der Innenhof neben der Mall of Berlin. Nach einem Einkaufs um elf hier niederlassen und Wein und Pizza genießen.

ristorante molto bello ,personale professionale, piatti eccellenti..

Très bien ! Cadre très agréable (terrasse en retrait de la rue), bonne cuisine, personnel très sympathique. Une très bonne adresse.

Sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Tolles Ambiente. Sehr leckeres und gut zubereitetes Essen.

Ganz hervorragender Service mit leckeren Speisen. Wir kommen gerne hierher, weil es viel Flair hat

Food & Service was great! The Terrasse was amazing! Well done!

Super Essen Tolle Pizza unter Sehr guter Salat und dazu sehr nette Mitarbeiter A

Nice and quiet but food and service were exemplary.

Schöne Location. Sehr nette Bedienung. Gutes Essen zum fairen Preis. Empfehlenswert

Graži vieta, puikus aptarnavimas ir atmosfera. Maistas skanus, tačiau makaronais trūko prieskonių ir paruošimo laiko.

Ottima esperienza siamo stati in gruppo da 13 persone buono e bravi nel servizio piatti e pinse di buona fattura e qualità

Ottimo ristorante, si mangia bene, personale premuroso e gentile, e parlano anche in italiano (non tutti) consigliato

Très bonne cuisine italienne (ne ratez pas les pâtes à la truffe elles sont délicieuses!), restaurant agréable et bien décoré. Service impeccable.

Execellent restaurant, kind & professional service, briliant food & pleasant ambiance. Preferably without children.

Essen war gut, ich hätte mir etwas größere Portionen gewünscht. Vom Hauptgericht alleine bin ich nicht satt geworden. Mit Vorspeisen hätte es gepasst.

Vera is a wonderful member of the team! Highly recommended for food and atmosphere.

I was there for business lunch and had pizza Margherita. Unfortunately the pizza made our stomach (both mine and my boyfriend’s stomach) upset shortly after having couple of bites. Even though the atmosphere and location is amazing I don’t think I’ll ever go to this restaurant.

Vitello Tonnato und Pasta waren in Ordnung, wenn auch nicht herausragend. Die Pizza Margarita war eher enttäuschend. Das Ambiente ist hingegen sehr einladend.
