La Bottega Da Franco in Berlin

If you get a frozen molded schnitzel for €17.00 with a really disgusting consistency and the only apology you get is I'm sorry, I think that's cheeky. We always enjoyed eating there but I think that was the last time.

Simply invincible... Spaghetti al Ragout is highly recommended!

I've eaten here several times now, always delicious and everyone is helpful and very friendly. Today I ate the most delicious pizza in forever and even my husband thought it was particularly tasty and well topped.

A very friendly welcome, a very good price/performance ratio. The Foccacia Bruscetta was great for sharing and was spicy. The pizza was rather neutral, but you can order spicy or spicy when ordering. The waitress (who felt like the boss) was very open to my feedback. Very pleasant atmosphere, I'll be back!

Very nice service and excellent food (lamb chop) highly recommended!!! We'd love to come back.

Excellent service and not to mention the dishes! Veggie options, good prices and abundant! We went twice during our vacation

Nice Italian with great staff and good price/performance ratio

Deliciously priced, pretty Italian as far as service goes

Very friendly staff, Good Italian food

An Italian like before, narrow and loud atmosphere, but very sociable and still cozy. The food was excellent, especially the appetizer platter and pasta dishes were great. A well-rehearsed team and good service. Very happy again.

Simply great! Overwhelmingly friendly, fast service, the food was fresh and incredibly tasty, we had pizza, pasta and dessert. There is really nothing to criticize, we can highly recommend the restaurant.

Pizza bread is great, pizza okay but nothing special. Beer ok but nothing earth-shattering. Card payment possible but only EC and no credit card.

The food is quite good, the atmosphere could be a little more authentic.

Food frozen and then microwaved. Onion pie bad. Tea pot is the same size as the glass. Maybe cakes are fine but the rest besides location is not remarkable.

Best spaghetti Napoli ever!!! So easy... so incredibly delicious! The salad... a dream! Very fresh and crunchy... The service was super nice! We will definitely come back when we are in Spandau again.

Nice pizzeria with nice staff. Prices ok

Almost always satisfied, no matter what the occasion

An Italian with real spaghetti carbonara, which was super tasty. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

As always, super delicious food and family service! A place to feel good and enjoy. See you next time

Very friendly staff, accommodating, delicious, homemade pizza and super tasty spaghetti Bolognese. We would love to come back.

A cozy restaurant with very good food. Unfortunately there is no yogurt salad dressing. Too bad 😢 The service is very friendly and accommodating. We immediately felt comfortable. 👍🏼

Super nice waiters and good food 👍

Very friendly service, the food was prepared quickly, was very tasty and even tasted better than in very good restaurants in Milano. The dishes are varied and you can't complain about the price, as you now pay the same in “cheap” restaurants

The food isn't bad, but it's a smart place... no credit card and the ATM doesn't work 🤔. Lots of Italian style!

Top service, hardly any waiting time, after about 10 minutes we all (5 people) had our food and the price is definitely worth it too.

Very friendly service, great food (we LOVE the focaccia bruschetta as a starter for 2) and great prices. We have been there about 15 times in 3 years and are already looking forward to the next time!

Good restaurant, with good service. Unfortunately it's a bit old. food was

As always, good quality at solid prices. Down-to-earth and tasteful.

When I entered the restaurant, it reminded me of the past. It was pretty full, which is good for the operator, but also very loud. There was no music playing, so you could hear people talking from all sides. The service was very courteous and the food was delicious. I would eat there again and again.

Bien moyen, le service n'est pas à la hauteur et encore moins le comportement des serveurs. On demande 2 bières on nous sert 1 bière il faut réclamer la 2ème, on demande une grande bouteille d'eau avec 2 verres on nous apporte la bouteille et un verre, il faut réclamer le 2ème. Les plats sont bons et copieux. Au moment du règlement refus de nos 3 cartes bancaires veulent absolument du cash ou une EC impossible de savoir de quelle carte il s'agit probablement une carte allemande. Donc obligé d'aller retirer des espèces à la banque en face et en plus on se fait insulter par le serveur alors qu'on ne laisse pas de pourboire. Messieurs il faudrait bien comprendre avec une telle qualité de service et d'attitude vous n'aurez que très peu de pourboire. Bref une adresse où l'on ne retournera surtout pas.

normal Italian restaurant there were few people and a long wait for a grilled steak at the time of the bill they didn't accept the credit card 😱😱😱but it's 2024!!!

Tastes very good, nice service. Only the knives 🔪 could be sharper 😊 but a very kind waiter said to me, please eat with your fingers like we do in Napoli, plus the Italian accent. I had this sentence in my head all day with a grin on my face. 👍👍👍

Everything was great, no complaints, always recommended

We were there on Sunday lunchtime, it wasn't really full, but the service wasn't particularly good. First an incorrect drink order arrived - for which we had already waited 15 minutes. The starter was forgotten and the main prizes also took a long time and were presented completely carelessly. The taste was ok.

Nice restaurant with fair prices and delicious food. The service staff are all nice and attentive. You can sit inside and outside.

It was okay, food was good but it took more than an hour to arrive at our table

The food was delicious, but the service was not. We had to wait over 2 hours; drinking, eating and paying took the longest. I won't come here again.

Very good Italian cuisine 😄 Price acceptable. Located right in the old town of Spandau 🥰

We just drank an Aperol outside in the evening.

The reserved table for six people was not prepared upon arrival. The completely dirty table was only wiped down when asked. We waited a long time until we got the tickets and were finally able to order. The food was delicious.

Oh no, a real pizzeria is what I thought when I walked past LA BOTTEGA and the staff spoke Italian. Added to that a pleasant smell and my stomach convinced me to sit down. As soon as I sat down, the card arrived. Less than 2 minutes later my drink and 5 minutes later my extremely delicious seafood pizza. Everything just right, not too much garlic and a little bit of everything, perfect! You can sit comfortably in front of the shop and enjoy your food and drinks. The pedestrian zone in Spandau's old town always offers funny freaks to smile about. I was impressed by the shop and when I'm in the area again I'll definitely grab a seat for a delicious pizza!

Very tasty food and reasonably priced. Everything was possible for us to get a table! We'd love to come back next time we're in Berlin!

We sat outside, which was fine. The food was very good I had a tomato soup and a pizza with anchovies capers and ham. The pizzas are very large.

You can't drink beer here, like almost everywhere in Berlin, and it's a long way to the toilets, still up the stairs, but otherwise fine.

Very individual, slightly marred by a Christmas party that was a bit loud... but no obstacles to coming back😄 The wood-fired pizza is super🥰, Insalata pollo and tons of our summer hit😄😄

Great Italian restaurant, the whole family enjoyed it. The restaurant is also open until midnight, great! Very happy again

Maybe our waitress wasn't having the best day.

Very tasty, unfortunately very long waiting time

Nice service but the food wasn't good, we had pasta and pizza and both didn't taste good, the food was also ready very quickly, which also made us suspicious, it was very fast food-oriented, we will NOT be coming back But nice service

The service was top notch, food and drinks are cheaper here than elsewhere.

The food is pretty bad by Italian standards, I wouldn't eat there again the service is very nice but the food is really bad, I don't understand the positive comments...

Very tasty food, friendly service that remains totally relaxed despite the stress!

Nice Italian restaurant, food was good, the house wine was chilled and good, gladly again 😊

Nice Italian restaurant, food was good, the house wine was chilled and good, gladly again 😊

Nice service, delicious food, always happy.

Very tasty pizza, very friendly and courteous staff, it was a very nice meal, even if it was already 11 p.m.

I had to wait at the entrance for a while and the waitress didn't even bother only after a few minutes. The pasta didn't taste like anything compared to other pasta I had. The Lasagne also didn't taste like they used any spices. The atmosphere is not really welcoming. Acoustic is bad it is way too loud, and there is no air flow or conditioning, so the heat stays in the room. The service was kinda annoyed by the people The only good part was that the food was done quickly

We stopped by spontaneously and easily found a free table. Despite the very late hour, all the dishes on the menu were still available - except for desserts. We chose pizza and were thrilled to have made that choice. All pizzas were very well topped and barely fit on the plate. We liked it very much. The waiters were very friendly and we were served promptly. The restaurant is worth recommending, we would love to come back!

The reception is extremely friendly and the cards are placed on the table straight away. If it's busy, you might want to make yourself known in a friendly manner if you want to order, but we also wanted to sit a bit apart inside. However, the order is then taken quickly and extremely politely and friendly, processed quickly and served with everything that goes with it. The food itself, Pizza La Bottega and Spaghetti Bolognese in our case, were very tasty. The pizza included Serano ham as a topping, very good! It's almost better to sit inside in summer than outside and there is a spacious dining room that is tastefully and typically designed. The prices are reasonable, we will definitely come back!

Super nice, came at half past ten and got a table set up and delicious focaccia to go with the beer. Extremely friendly service.

What feels like Spandau's oldest Italian restaurant, I always love eating here when I'm in my old childhood home of Spandau. The staff has always been courteous and friendly for over 20 years. The prices are more than reasonable. Italian flair in Spandau's old town. Lucky that not everything old in the old town was made obsolete. Bravo la bottega 💖

For us a MUST on every stroll through the old town! Food: very tasty, service: very nice and attentive, ambience: in the middle of the old town, both inside and on the terrace invite you to linger!!! We have been guests for years and can highly recommend this Italian restaurant! Warm greetings from Hennigsdorf

I would like nicer staff and we waited forever for the bill

The two of us sat outside. Why weren't we served for 20 minutes? We didn't even get the menus. Other people who came after us received menus within a few minutes at the latest. At some point we left. As we were leaving I asked why we hadn't been told we weren't welcome instead of letting us sit there stupidly for 20 minutes. No Answer. When we left, other people who had come around the same time had already had their food. What's that supposed to mean?

The pizza was quite tasty. The Bolognese wasn't that tasty...rather dry The staff was okay… (putting it nicely)

Great Italian restaurant with authentic dishes at a very good price/performance ratio. We were only in Spandau for 2 days and there twice... very nice service….just perfect 👌

Very friendly service and delicious food

Very tasty and fast and friendly service.

Very nice shop, didn't make a reservation there, but got a quick spot. The service is very fast and the employees are very nice. The food came very quickly for its size. Very good value for money and very tasty 😋 Only to recommend

Been there for the first time, unfortunately didn't get to eat. Waiters very unfriendly, customers are simply pushed back and forth because others come. Don't go there again. Not recommendable.

The tagliatelle with vegetables and the macaroni with artichokes and mushrooms, very good. The tender tails and the focaccia we ordered were excellent.

Always good and tasty. I'm a big fan of the pizzas and cannelloni! The service is also great!

Excellent service and very good food.

Super Service Great food Great coffee

Wine was really good, food was okay, and service can be improved. Some waiters saw us but we had to really wave for them to approach and take our orders.

Friendly service, food very good, prices reasonable. I was very pleased. Thank you!

My friends and I would have liked to eat something here, but after 15 minutes we had to get the menu ourselves. Now all that was left was to place the order, unfortunately unsuccessfully. Unfortunately no waiter came to our table for another 20 minutes, so we had to leave...

Lovely people and delicious food.

Nice staff and delicious and inexpensive food 🥘

Have been eating there again and again for many years. The food is always great and the staff is quick, friendly and attentive.

Well, this was my third time there. Food very tasty. However, I miss the warm service a bit. But unfortunately that is missing almost everywhere today. Everything has become expensive and you still eat there. You would expect somewhat warm service. But oh well. You rarely see that these days. It's your own fault if you don't eat at home. Conclusion 05.06.24: A lot has happened. Maybe I was having a bad day. People are treated very kindly today. It might have been a bit stressful one time because it was full. Everyone is overwhelmed at times. So I'd rather come during the week when it's more relaxed. Food as always good. I would love to come back just because of the delicious spaghetti 👍

Very friendly service and very good food. The price performance ratio is very good.

This was the tastiest and largest pizza I have eaten anywhere. The pasta dishes are also a dream! The staff was super nice and attentive. We ate there twice in 3 days, that says it all. Always happy. Thank you😊

Great location in the old town of Spandau, friendly staff, reasonable prices, great quality

Save your self from the terrible service and terrible food. One of their waiters is so unfriendly and disrespectful. Also very unfriendly to families. Save yourself and eat somewhere else.Horrible service and the food is not worth it. What a waste of time and money.

Kind. Food was quite ok. It's a pedestrian zone, but it's not really comfortable either.

We were invited for a birthday. The restaurant wasn't full. The first drink order went pretty quickly and was marked down significantly. We literally had to ask the waiter to serve us three times because we wanted more drinks. Unfortunately, the food has also deteriorated considerably. It used to be better. We won't be eating there again anytime soon.

It was the third time there for an invitation to a birthday dinner. Was bitterly disappointed again for the third time 🙁. Waiters had shown zero interest in reordering drinks. The food was mini, carelessly prepared dishes. No decoration, nothing. The food plates looked like they came from a cafeteria. And very small portions. None of us were full. The whole service there is just not right. 🤷‍♀️ Even though it wasn't full. We all don't eat there anymore.

I would make the old rolls and the fatty sauce better at home

We often eat here and it's always good and the staff is always nice and friendly... but what I experienced today is a bit outrageous. I ordered a pork schnitzel with fries and salad for €18 then For me, it was outrageous, two pieces of pressed meat, breaded, out of the freezer like in a canteen.... the price doesn't bother me. I would like to pay but would also like to get a reasonable meal....

I often eat at La Bottega with my wife. I hardly know of any other restaurant where you feel as comfortable as you do here. This is how you imagine Italian hospitality! By the way, the food is also super delicious.

Typical Italian in Spandau's old town. Great pizza, homemade ravioli, seasonal menu. The dishes are tasty, but could be seasoned better (ravioli hardly tastes like anything, asparagus is unseasoned). Attentive service. The interior could use a little freshening up.

Cozy pizzeria. Friendly staff. Tasty food.

Very good Italian. Pizza tastes great, risotto with seafood was also very good. The risotto could have been a little more. Otherwise highly recommended!

Not for connoisseurs...but still full. Just Spandau old town. I won't go there anymore.

Very nice service and super tasty food at good prices. We can only recommend it. The very large dining room is a bit uncomfortable and the acoustics are bad, but still ok.

The best spaghetti carbonara - truly Italian and excellent service!

Absolute favorite Italian for everyday life

Hello, I would first like to say that we like the food here and the children enjoy eating here. But it can't be the case that the waiter shows my son, I know it's nice, EVERY TIME with his bare hands how to share pizza. I feel sick at the moment and can only think about how much money he had in his hands, how many menus he has handed out since he last washed his hands, the disgusting card reader, etc., etc. 99.99% of humanity, apart from him, will agree that this is disgusting and terribly unhygienic. Please talk to staff and give me your feedback. I will then delete or edit the review. But next time I see his fingers in my kid's pizza, we'll stand up and then that's it. Thanks for your attention

Visited spontaneously, ordered classics, it was ok. + a no go. Tortellini were far from being “All Dente”. Let's see once or twice, take a seat again. The Gorgonzola sauce tasted good. Outside like today in the sun, pedestrian zone, a spontaneous salad could be really fun.
