La Lupa in Berlin

La Lupa has been our go-to date spot for the past 5 years, and it always delivers. We usually go for appetizers, drinks, and desserts — the suppli, tiramisu, and especially the cheesecake are amazing!! Occasionally we get a big pasta dish like carbonara or cacio e pepe. Service has always been friendly and warm. The manager/owner is super nice and accommodating — they’ve even helped us with two fun birthday orders: a whole cheesecake once, and a “suppli cake” made from mini suppli another time! We love coming in the summer for the outdoor or window seating. Indoors in the winter can get a bit loud with larger groups due to the acoustic of the building, but it never stops us from returning. Always excited to go, and always leave happy!

Excellent product quality, excellent service and family atmosphere. I highly recommend it

Very tasty and authentic Cacio e Pepe! The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was pleasantly relaxed. All in all a lovely experience – would love to do it again!

Everything super good. Helpful and kind staff. Super recommended

Everything was spectacular. I ate the Cacio and pepe pasta, a work of art! The service was perfect, as was the atmosphere of the place, which was very comfortable. They make you feel at home. It is a place to return to every time you visit Berlin.

I had the Carbonara and it was delicious. Service was great. There was a lady called Giordana that hosted our visit and she was so nice. Loved this restaurant.

Everything was excellent! Food, service, experience!!! I will come back, definitely

The whole meal was spectacular, the best dish was the pasta "La Lupa" A delicious pasta and the perfect wine to accompany it. The attention and warmth of your guests complete the evening. I would stay here again without a doubt.

Don't understand the great reviews. The food was okay, but nothing more. Map is really manageable. We waited almost 1 hour for our pasta… Wouldn't come back. - After this review, the restaurant owner accused me of lying about my review and the waiting time. So I'll correct it again: we had an apperatizer for 4 people, which we shared. However, about an hour had passed before it came. I would just avoid the restaurant. There are better ones. The restaurant's flippant response also shows how customer opinions are handled here.

The waiters were friendly. The dessert was really good. The appetizer plate was alright. The wine was enjoyable. Overpriced for what you get. Unfortunately the pasta is extremely greasy and doesn't have that much taste. Didn't finish the plate. Had stomach ache afterwards.

We were here for the first time. I would definitely recommend making a reservation in advance. The best pasta I've ever had with the best antipasti you can honestly have. The menu is very varied and there are also vegetarian options. I would come here again.

Authentic Italian food. The point deduction is for the lack of pizza on the menu. This ruined my companion's mood for almost the entire evening. The chairs aren't the most comfortable either. After all the complaining, the most important thing: the pasta is super delicious!

Amazing! Very tasty, very nice italian. Maybe a little bit slow service

The food was great and the staff so so friendly. Go there if you haven't already!! It was my birthday and I left happpier then I was 😊

When it comes to the diversity of gastronomy, Berlin is really spoiled. Therefore, it is not at all easy to delight the spoiled Berlin palate. Well, you can recommend La Lupa with a clear conscience when it comes to authentic Roman cuisine. The ambience is traditionally Italian, the small tables make it seem intimate, the red wall color in combination with the wooden interior and the photos on the walls create a cozy atmosphere. We received a very friendly welcome, the service was friendly and warm. We felt like guests in the truest sense of the word. The food is simple, but very well crafted; cooking simple things well is always the real art. By the way, the stuffed olives were particularly delicious. The wine list is well-stocked and we weren't disappointed here either. All in all, a lovely evening and a clear recommendation!

A colleague recommended the restaurant to me and we ate there. He is Italian himself and confirms that the cuisine here is originally Italian. As a starter I had a fried rice pocket with mozzarella and classic Pomodore basil. It was super tasty, the noodles were on point and enough to fill you up. The prices are moderate and not excessive. The atmosphere is appealing and reservations are mandatory as there are not many tables but there is good demand.

The real deal! Authentic Italian food. Cant wait to go back!

Wonderful typical Roman... fairytale... You can really eat! but really!! Well Compliments!!!!!!

Experience of 10!! Incredible Roman cuisine restaurant! Exquisite food and very interesting drink menu (the limoncelo spritz was delicious) Super friendly and attentive staff and affordable prices! The truth is that this site is missing nothing.

Really good Italian place for pasta. The antipasti dishes were amazing 😍

Delicious food, great service and very comfy place. Best Cacio e pepe in Berlin!

unbedingt probieren: Gricia, Amatriciana, Carbonara, Supplì

One of my all-time favorite restaurants in Berlin! The quality is still the same and the welcome is always warm. Thanks guys and see you next time :)

Very few of the dishes were good, most were just meh, and overpriced. Takeaway boxes for 0.50€ when the pasta costs 13-16 is just greedy. It seems like there was a lack of dishes in the place as we had to ask for glasses multiple times and we've been asked too frequently if they can take our plates. Would not come back

Food is not bad, but not good either. The pasta was 5/10 (pistacchio, carbonara), antipasti 6/10 (the arancini are quite good, but actually don't fit in a restaurant in this price range). Good selection of wine. Price/performance rather poor

Delicious and interesting selection of starters, especially the mushroom balls with truffle mayo. And the carbonara was really great. The service was very pleasant and attentive. We'll be back!

A great experience from A to Z. THANK YOU for the great evening. Come back soon.

My Italian friend who used to live in Berlin recommended me this place and after visiting I completely agreed with how good their pasta is. It is not only very fresh but also sauces that I’ve tried were so very delicious. The staff were very nice and kind as well. Would recommend

The carbonara and tiramisu were delicious. Really nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

I keep dreaming about their food.

Amazing Italia restaurant. The card isn't huge and the products are fresh. Perfect for a date night. I recommend.

Amatriciana come in Roma!!10/10 I can only recommend the restaurant. If you want to eat like in Rome, you should definitely come here!!

parmigiana and carbonara...if I had been alone I would have licked the plate too...spectacular!!!!

Nice service and atmosphere, the food could be better

I've eaten here twice and both times the food and service were 10/10. If you're looking for good Italien food in Berlin, you have to hit this place. They have the nicest limoncello spritz in Berlin 💕

Great pasta every time that I come here. Unfortunately, the two last times when I visited then another table was super loud. It made it impossible to have a normal conversation. Even the waitress found it difficult to hear us when we ordered.

Good was incredible and staff very friendly. It felt like we were in an authentic Italian trattoria. Highly recommended

Abbiamo mangiato benissimo, polpette, cacio e pepe e carbonara. I piatti erano davvero cucinati come in Italia! Bravi ragazzi!

Best Cacio e Pepe in Town. They also offer fried olives

Unfortunately, after an hour we were asked to leave our table because other guests had reserved. As an interim solution, there was a table inside, from which we were thrown out with the bill half an hour later.

I’ve been a regular at this restaurant since it opened, and I can confidently say it’s one of my favorites. Every visit leaves me satisfied, thanks to Gianluca’s authentic Roman cuisine. The dishes are consistently delicious, and the service is always warm and welcoming. Whether you’re a fan of classic Italian dishes or looking to try something new, you can’t go wrong here.

Great pasta, great appetizers and cheap good wine. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Finally, a tiramisu and the evening is perfect

La cucina romana meglio che a Roma. Si può? Si, a Berlino da Gianluca e Giordana è possibile. Piatti preparati con cura e amore secondo la migliore tradizione (ed i migliori prodotti che arrivano direttamente dall’Italia) cucinati espressi al momento. Carbonara, gricia, amatriciana … ma anche supplì, polpette, la fantastica porchetta di Ariccia e le coppiette. Menzione speciale per i dolci. Cheesecake con le visciole… no vabbè … un sogno. Bravi ragazzi, siete davvero speciali!

Best original Italian pasta in town. The only downside is that the table can be booked only for 90 mins if you're booking an early dinner. Also, they are very accommodating for lactose intolerant guests. Highly recommended.

Just some really good and friendly staff. And did I say the food is really good!!! Highly recommend

The only problem is that you want to eat everything from their amazing menu! Everything looks so good, the staff is friendly, food is fresh and great wine. I will go there as much as I can!

one of the best pasta I had in Berlin, for the quality and the portion the prices were very affordable! The atmosphere was great and the personel was Italian so that's always a +

abbiamo festeggiato qui il nostro anniversario di matrimonio eravamo a Berlino ma sembrava di essere a Roma si mangia romano per davvero, abbiamo preso una carbonara una cacio e pepe e una parmigiana sublime, personale cordiale e sorridente il proprietario Gianluca oltre che ad essere un ottimo chef anche molto gentile, disponibile e un grande lupacchiotto! CONSIGLIATISSIMO

Italian restaurant in the Turkish quarter in Berlin! Roman cuisine, I recommend the cacio e pepe pasta😋😋

The Cabonara cannot be called Cabonara. The pasta was way too dry and there was about 1kg of Parmesan mixed in. That was a unique thing, thank you 👍

Cozy Italian restaurant with a great menu. We were served very friendly. The pasta was okay, we liked the suppli better.

A lovely place! The starters are especially fantastic as are the drinks. The carbonara is authentic. Pasta w polpette was less exciting. Service was very friendly! I will happily come again for suppli and a martini 🍸🍝

Went here for dinner. Great food, friendly staff, good vibes - all in all I would recommend this place. We were celebrating a birthday and got a free shot on the house at the end, so that was a great touch.

A good Italian restaurant with a menu that particularly impresses with its diverse selection of starters. Various pasta dishes are offered as main courses, which are complemented by daily variations. The food itself is reasonably priced, tastes good, but doesn't blow us away. However, the drinks (Aperol and Limoncello Spritz) and the tiramisu for dessert – served in a wine glass – were excellent. The atmosphere is rustic but appropriate. Unfortunately it was a bit cold. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating. In order to get a place, you must reserve in advance.

My favourite Italian restaurant (and maybe favourite restaurant) in Berlin! Try the parmigiana but everything on the menu is really good. Also prices are so reasonable for the quality.

One of the best Italian restaurants in Berlin, very delicious pasta, nice staff, lovely atmosphere and cozy place. Would definitely go there again and recommend it to everyone.

Very authentic place with great choice of food. Pasta dishes are generous and tasty. Staff is nice and helpful. Recommended!

Thank you, La Lupa, for a cozy and lovely evening. Food was really delicious, ambience warm and the team friendly and caring. 🌞

I would like to start this review saying that I took my time reading other’s people posts about this restaurant, before sharing my opinion. I think nowadays it’s too easy, unfortunately, to spread judgments on the internet about this or that topic, this or that restaurant, activity or business. The experience in this place was flawless, the food was amazing and the atmosphere cozy and welcoming. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I’m Italian: I would like to point out this just to let the reader understand this review is coming from somebody who had plenty of comparisons. I was not surprised, anyways, when reading the reviews I found out that people who have no culinary relatable culture or experience took the time to share their point of view about dishes they don’t quite understand, in an impolite way, damaging the business of who is putting passion and authentic products on the table in a place far away from home. Places like this, which promote culinary diversity and which give the opportunity to experience flavors of this kind even outside Italy and here in Berlin, should be protected and respected. Please be careful not to dispense your one star reviews for nonsense, you are not cool! You just seem ignorant 🙂

Best pasta I’ve ever had ! Absolutely amazing Food, drinks, service, vibes, all perfect. Must go if you are in Berlin, 10/10 would recommend to a friend ;)

We went to eat for our son's graduation party All very good and top waiters We will definitely be back 👍

It was good, but for the 5th star I'm missing that certain extra with the house pasta, especially for 13/15€.

The service keeps annoying you every 2 minutes if you don't want to finally order. We barely had time to read the card and it was back. Starters and main courses must be ordered together. The waitress really didn't have any sensitivity at all, kept coming and asking if you wanted to order something again. Food was ok. Pasta polpette is made with ragu and not with polpette (about 10 grams of meat per whole portion), which is also absurd. Then please just call it pasta with tomato sauce.

The chef was in love I guess. Saltiest pasta of my life (Carbonara). I almost couldn’t eat it. Service seemed overwhelmed and the timing of the courses was off. The mushroom Balls were excellent tho.

First of all the negative. We have been waiting for about 30min für our Antipasti, which is ok, but over an hour for our main menu, although we were ordering everything at the same time and we all ordered noodles. I went to the waiter just to be sure that they have not forgotten our order and when we received our meal, literally the cook came by, served the last plate with the timestamped order in his hand and explained in Italian, to our Italien friends, that it is our fault that it took so long, they were busy and if we can’t be patient. Nonetheless other people who stepped in later, got their food faster, they were even finished before we started. What the cook was talking about was complete nonsense and a cheekiness. All in all the food was quite good and the Ambiente is ok. The other staff was friendly but this is obviously a no-go in treating a customer, putting them down, instead of apologizing…

Really really good food! And the service was lovely, too. Make sure to book a table in advance they’re fully booked

Very nice atmosphere over all, staff was very very friendly and caring. Well the food was Really good. Very authentic Italian I'll say. I enjoyed every single dish and appetisers. The specials were super tasty

Sat down around 19:15 and ordered 15 minutes later. Main courses arrived more than 1 hour later. Portion are small and prices high. Not to mention 8 euro for a wine glass. Food is not bad but nothing special unfortunately

La Lupa provides a pleasant atmosphere and serves Italian cuisine. I particularly enjoyed their Parmigiana, which features eggplant and mozzarella. It's a dish worth trying in a nice dining setting.

Cozy place, suitable for dinners for couples and groups. Selection of first choice starters and first courses. The mozzarella in carrozza is highly recommended. Choice of wines also decent, price per glass a little exaggerated. The bottle is better. Until next time !

Great food, great wine and nice atmosphere. Would come back!

I've heard a lot of good things about this restaurant, so my expectations were apparently too high. Pasta was good... but unfortunately not 100% my taste. Unfortunately it arrived skin warm. Maybe I don't understand something but I've gotten used to warmer pasta. Unfortunately, food is only 3 stars. Ambience was good and the staff also tried hard :)

My dish was really tasty but was served cold. My partner’s dish was a tad bland.

Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen, das Essen war lecker und das Personal sehr sehr freundlich. Optisch ist es sehr gemütlich und schön gemacht, der einzige Verbesserungsvorschlag wäre ein bisschen mehr vegetarische Auswahl.

Went with a group of friends, can confirm it’s a good spot for friend group dinners. Staff was very friendly & accommodating, made the place feel more cozy and like you’re in someone else’s home. Antipasto & wines were all great, but gotta say the pastas were quite average: it needed bit more salt & was dry. Can’t remember the exact dish, but it’s with truffle and a dish that was on the blackboard. Will still def come back tho cos of the vibe, antipasto & vino.

Good restaurant with super nice waiters and a cozy underground interior, but both pastas we ordered were too salty :(

Berlin is now the place where 7 euros get you this micro-tiramisu to go.

Die Carrozza und Supli schmecken sehr lecker. Die Pasta ist eher durchschnittlich. Am Abend gab es einen Geburtstagstisch, welcher sehr laut war, sodass ein normales Gespräch nicht möglich war.

We arrived to the restaurant at 19:00, ordered appetisers and main dish along with a bottle of wine. Service was on the slow side. At 20:30 the waiter told us there is another reservation so we should leave the table in 10 minutes. It is acceptable to reserve tables for limited time of course, but this should be clearly communicated either when making the reservation, or when ordering the food and drinks. Then we asked for the bill. Five minutes later, the owner came to our table and said “Come to the cash register.” This is not the expected behaviour when you are in a supposedly “nice” restaurant with above average prices. As we were packing our stuff and wearing our jackets, the owner was still telling us “the other group is waiting.” Well, what can we do? When it comes to the food (I ate here twice) - some appetisers are really good, but there are quite a good number of deep fried mediocre stuff. Pasta is OK. Tiramisu is recommended. Overall - a little bit overpriced for what you eat, and *highly* overpriced for how you’re being served.

Ottimo ristorante. Tipica cucina romana. Cibo ottimo, personale cordiale. Ti sembra di essere in un ristorante a Roma. Quando tornerò a Berlino sicuramente verrò a trovarvi. Bravi ragazzi 👍

El lugar es muy acogedor y el servicio es muy cercano y amable, destacó la comida, excelente calidad, muy fresco y sabor a Italia de verdad! Totalmente recomendable :)

Essen war gut. Pasta „La Lupa“ ist zu empfehlen. Gemütliche Atmosphäre. Sehr freundliche Bedienung, allerdings kam das Essen von einer Person in unserer Gruppe sehr spät (anscheinend wurde die Bestellung aus Versehen falsch aufgenommen).

Too salty, pasta not warm enough and a bit overpriced

The pasta carbonara and cacio e pepe were delicious and al dente. The waiters are very friendly and the atmosphere is cozy and laid-back.

Best Italian pasta in berlin but my favore thing are the supplì!

Servizio velocissimo amatriciana veramente molto buona. Un vero ristorante italiano nella città di Berlino

Amazing food and service! Recommended by a few Italian friends and I can absolutely see why!

Sehr leckerer Italiener. Uns haben alle bestellten Gerichte sehr geschmeckt. Die frittierten Gerichte haben wir so noch in keinen anderen italienischen Restaurant gefunden und haben uns sehr überzeugt.

Excellent Italian food, super nice service, reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

Muy lindo el lugar y el cheff que éstaba un genio.

Les pâtes carbonara étaient très bonnes .

Cacio e pepe al tartufo is the best in town

We had the mixed antipasto ‘la lupa’, a truffle carbonara and the mezze maniche all’amatriciana. Every single thing was absolutely delicious, but what really blew me away was the tomato sugo. I can honestly say with all confidence that I’ve never ever tasted something so authentic outside of Italy, or my mother’s kitchen. Once you taste this sugo you’ll understand what pasta is really supposed to taste like - and let me tell you right now, everything else will pale in comparison. If you’re looking for a fine dining experience or a quiet location you won’t find it here. All you’ll find is one of the best Italians in Berlin.

Amazing food, amazing people, 20/10 !!!!

Everything is just amazing!!! Quality of the food, atmosphere and service. Definitely a must!

Great food - carbonara with truffles is amazing

I loved that place, I think they have the best Pasta that I ever ate in Berlin, the people were also so nice , the prices were reasonable and the portions were big enough. I really recommend this place 👌 ☺

qualita, eccellenza, piatti tipici, personale simpatico.

Mein Freund und ich sind aus Hamburg zu Besuch und waren das erste mal hier. Das Essen war wirklich unglaublich lecker und das Preis Leistungsverhältnis total angemessen wenn nicht sogar günstig für das was man bekommt. Ich hatte eine Carbonara und mein Freund Spaghetti mit Tolatensoße und Burrata. So eine leckere Carbonara hatte ich zuletzt im Korsika Urlaub. Wirklich auf den Punkt genau perfekt wie sie sein soll. Mein Freund war auch zu 100% begeistert. Der Aperol war ebenso perfekt. Leider kein Coke Zero gehabt. Draußen zu sitzen war auch super entspannt im Zentrum doch dennoch ruhig. Leider haben wir ca 50 min auf das Essen gewartet. Es hat sich jedoch definitiv gelohnt. Die Bedienung spricht leider nur englisch war für uns jedoch okay. Die Kellnerin war manchmal etwas unaufmerksam.. Sobald wir wieder in Berlin sind kommen wir definitiv wieder die Carbonara war wirklich super lecker !!

Food was okay. I tried Pasta carbonara which was tasty, but the only had some unnoticeable pieces of guanciale, for example
