La Pecora Nera in Berlin

Pasta with salcicca was very good but everything else unfortunately mediocre and overpriced. Gnocchi with Aubergine were tasteless, 26€ for a small plate of aperitivo absolutely overpriced. Need to order 3 dishes to have a normal sized dinner. Also I‘m not going to an Italian place to have Gouda offered on the aperitivo plate and in the gnocchi… Better go somewhere else…

Here you can find that special something that is sorely missed in so many restaurants in this city. Enormous hospitality, recommendations that deserve the name and I haven't even mentioned the food. A very small selection of dishes that you can't get everywhere. The prices are a bit extra, but it's extra tasty, too. I'll definitely be back ❤️

Very nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff and EXCELLENT food

Great food with great service and a large wine selection and advice. The price is reasonable, the atmosphere could be a little more cozy, but it doesn't detract from a great evening! Service excellent and attentive. We'll be back!

I came across this little gem today, and every bite was perfection—Bourno the Sicilian wino perfecto. I read some reviews where people mentioned that the portions are small for the price, but I disagree. I think the balance between portion size and quality is just right for a restaurant of this caliber. I had two courses: the Romanian salad and the Gnocchi. Along with a bottle of sparkling water and a glass of wine, the total was 42 Euros. Very reasonable, in my opinion. The service was relaxed and informal, a refreshing change from the usual pretentiousness found in high-quality restaurants. Ps nobody can pay rent or salary by serving tap water ;)

It's been a long time since I've eaten really good pasta! The service was also really great and child-friendly.

Even if prices feels fancy, it's totally worth it. You can really tell how good of a quality the food is and how fresh the products are. The ( I guess ) homemade bread was a killer, we love how creative they are with their salads and the gnocchi tasted like a dream. Just wishing they had more veggie options coming soon on the menu ! Would highly recommend anyways

An incredibly good Italian island

Perfect evening, Andrea is a really good chef who conjured up a completely vegan menu for us, quality excellent and taste outstanding! Thank you for this unforgettable experience

My partner and I went there for dinner. The place was cozy and had the classic characteristics of an italian trattoria. The food we ordered (Nodini di maiale con patate al forno and Paccheri al ragu di polpo) was among the tastiest I've ever eaten. We also ordered the cheesecake which was also on par with the main dishes we ordered. I would definitely come back in the future.

I’ve been to La Pecora Nera three times and the food was excellent every single time. Especially the pulled duck appetizer we had last night was a dream. Very much recommended if you’d like to try Italian dishes other than pizza.

I didn't like it. The gnocchi was bland and so was the green sauce.

Amazing food, amazing waiters, charming place

Authentic Italian food, good location during the day

Really great - unusual dishes and wines at very acceptable prices, cool, courteous staff, unfortunately you can easily walk past it, but then you would really miss something.

The food was SO DELICIOUS: fresh, delicious, creative! The red wine selection too... The staff was really nice, just a nice warm Italian atmosphere. Thank you!

Delicious creative Italian cuisine, small but very fine menu, highest quality at reasonable prices, very friendly service, good open wines, relaxed and very pleasant atmosphere, a favorite place!

The food is very tasty, the portions are a little small. A starter and main course are sometimes not enough to fill you up, but the prices are a little too expensive. But otherwise it's a great restaurant with very tasty food

Small plates of food with a cozy atmosphere. Need to order at least three dishes per person to feel like a hearty meal. And of course excluding the desert. With a decent wine selection, it definitely creates a cozy evening for small groups.

Authentic Italian restaurant. Highly recommend. Great wine selection, food served by the guys who make and eat it. We will most certainly go back. Really excellent.

If we want to have a really good and tasty Italian meal, then we always come back to La Pecora Nera. Everything is just right here. Super nice service, very tasty food and good wines. Everything in a relaxed, nice atmosphere. We have been coming here for years now and have never been disappointed, in fact every dish is a new revelation. No matter whether it's unusual flavor combinations or down-to-earth Bigoli dishes. Everything is always very tasty.

Our most beloved Italian place in Berlin! Everything is just right here.

We returned here for dinner and I have to say things have definitely gotten worse. My girlfriend ate a small charcuterie starter (with a few cured meats, a strange piece of bread with some tasteless tomato and a small bowl of olives, paid the exaggeration of 20 euros)... Two portions of bigoli (so small that in the other restaurants would be considered half portions) lightly salted. With a normal Prosecco (30e) we spent a total of around 100 euros. I honestly felt cheated and as an Italian I'm sorry that restaurants like this exist. I'm writing the review in German because I think Italians already know this restaurant and stay away from it... my advice: avoid it too!

Wir waren heute Abend wieder in diesem Restaurant und ich muss sagen, dass die Küche definitiv schlechter geworden ist. Auf dem Teller befanden sich sehr wenige Würstchen und zwei Stücke Käse, gekochte Karotten und eine seltsame Schüssel Brot mit geschmackloser Tomatensoße. Die Bigoli (Nudeln) waren sehr wenige und salzig. Der Kaffee war verbrannt. Wir schreiben diesen Kommentar auf Deutsch und entschuldigen uns für eventuelle Grammatikfehler, um diesen schrecklichen Restaurant abzuraten, für das als Italiener wir uns jetzt schämen. Früher war es ein gutes Restaurant, heute ist es unserer Meinung nach eine Schande für die italienische Küche.

We were at this restaurant tonight after about a year and I have to say that, in my opinion, the cuisine has deteriorated enormously. There were very few cured meats on the platter and two pieces of cheese, boiled carrots and a strange bowl of bread covered in tasteless tomato sauce. The bigoli (pasta) was very few and salty. The coffee was burnt. We ate a starter divided in half and two pasta (bigoli) and spent 90 euros. We are writing this comment in German and apologize for any grammatical errors, precisely to advise against this terrible restaurant that we are ashamed of for now being so bad. It used to be a good restaurant, but today, in our opinion, it is a disgrace to Italian cuisine.

A delle migliori scoperte the final tempi qui a Berlino. Everything was great and the food was high quality! The service was very professional and friendly.

Overall, I liked the experience. The food is tasty, full of flavors. But the portion sizes are too small and too pricey unfortunately (compared to same quality italian restaurants in the neighborhood). Tomato pasta cost about 15€. Wine is also quite expensive for what it is... Staff is kind.

Very authentic and delicious. I've seen a lot of Italians eating in here, which only speaks volumes about the place. 5/5

Wow, this food is incredibly delicious, pure modern Italian style with a nice wine selection, absolutely recommended.

Freundlicher Service, obwohl es sehr voll war. Ich komme gerne wieder!

Risotto war sehr lecker. Immer wieder gerne

Loved it. Small, cosy and rich with focus on good food. Great small menu with seasonal dishes. I had the beef check and celeriac puree which was 11/10. To finish the chocolate tart which was rich and tastefully bitter. go and try this place. Gem in the Schillerkiez.

Ein wunderschöner Abend an den wir noch lange denken werden. Wer unter italienischem Essen vor allem Pizza und Insalata Tono versteht ist hier sicher falsch. Hervorragende Aromen und eine tolle Weinkarte machen den Besuch zu einer kleinen Reise am Abend. Gern und immer wieder.

The food was good but with small portions. We ordered started and main( main like a starter) and dessert but still hungry. The price is high,but the environment and decoration of the restaurant don’t fit the level.😅😂The food taste good and service are also good.

Food was fine, albeit expensive. So would have been 4 stars easily. But the big issue for me was this: I ordered a main, a starter and a beer. I asked for a glass of tap water along side that. So NOT instead of another drink, but IN ADDITION to the beer I paid for. The response: "We'd rather have you order a bottle". What the hell? Are you kidding me? Feels really cheap, rude and uncomfortable to get such a reply from your waitor. Absolutely horrible policy (might even be illegal in Germany, I'm not sure) that makes me not want to come back here, I soured on the place. If they ever change that policy and I hear of that, I'll edit my rating.

Das Essen war ok. Weder schlecht noch besonders.

Posto carino ..ma troppo rumoroso...cibo buono ...forse aspettato troppo tra un piatto e l' altro

Es gibt gute Restaurants und Pecora Nera 😅❤️❤️

Essen war lecker aber die Portionen viel zu klein für den Preis.

The food is delicious! Top quality products. Unfortunately, the portions were way too small and we left hungry.

Lecker!!! Kleine überschaubare Karte mit leckeren Kreationen. 4 Sterne weil die Portionen ein bisschen zu klein sind…

Great food from northern Italy (Veneto) and very tasty pasta! They also really know their way around wine. Only downside is that portions are a bit too small for the price.

Finalmente un ristorante di cucina italiana, tendente al Veneto, con cibi tradizionali leggermente rivisti e presentati molto bene. Insomma c'è qualcuno che ha il coraggio di premiare il cliente con la qualità e la personalità dei nostri piatti e non con l'omologazione di basso livello che si trova troppo spesso nei ristoranti "italiani".

Another fantastic Italian restaurant. The guys here know the people at Caligari so they have a friendly competition. It's a simple summer menu here. I only had the main course: it was a.seafood pasta large rings of pasta and mussels with a.cream parsley sauce - delicious! It was al dente pasta and nicely seasoned, you have to be Italian to do that! I was with another Italian and he found this amazing prosecco on the menu. Friendly staff who can dance! Good music! Even the other guests are friendly, we took some to the next place with us. I want to go back and finish the menu

Richtig schönes und kleines Lokal in Neukölln. Das Essen und der Service vorzüglich.

Very nice restaurant, not your "typical all-around Italian restaurant" with great care on their dishes and often updated menu. Would definitely recommend, even though I find it overpriced.

well priced good quality food pasta is particularly good unobtrusive service. Pasta dish could be a bigger portion. Wine by the glass could have better options. Small good atmosphere

Sehr witzige Bedienung, geht hin und grüßt mir Matheo🥰👍

Ein eher unscheinbares Restaurant, aber sehr leckeres Essen, guter Service.

Super friendly and attentive service, but the food was extremely disappointing. Small portions, underwhelming flavours. Worst of all: the furniture is extremely cheap and uncomfortable.

top Eis, top Qualität, Riesen Portion, sehr freundliche Bedienung

Unfortunately this place changed a lot over the years… it’s not as homey anymore and all in all over priced. Also to tell your guests on the first page of your menu that the restaurant doesn’t serve tap water does not feel very friendly or welcoming. Also it is very Common in similar places. The food us still good though, it just doesn’t fit the price concept.

Per la prima volta all'estero ho mangiato bene come a casa. 5 stelle sono poche, servizio top, ampia scelta di vini Super consigliato

Nachdem wir unsere Bestellung aufgegeben hatten, erhielten wir in gebrochenem Deutsch die Anweisung, das Restaurant unmittelbar nach dem Essen zu verlassen, da unsere Bestellung als zu klein angesehen wurde. Wenn man beispielsweise nur eine Pasta und ein Getränk bestellen möchte und auf Vorspeisen und Desserts verzichtet, besteht die Möglichkeit, dass der Abend kürzer verläuft als geplant. Das Essen selbst war zwar lecker, jedoch hat der unangebrachte Kommentar des Kellners unsere Stimmung getrübt.

A good Italian restaurant with a rotating menu. Very nice atmosphere. Dropping a star because they couldn't have given us less Comté with the starter (and I love Comté)

two empty tables with no reservation and they wouldn't let us sit down, and we were six people with children... apparently there is a face control in the restaurant, pity for them

Si mangia italiano, veramente Italiano. I titolari sono veneti. La materia prima è ottima, la scelta dei vini ampia e di eccellente qualità. Non aspettatevi di mangiare piatti di quelli inqualificabili alla italo-style (tipo "spaghetti bolognese".. ), questa è un'ottima trattoria che potreste trovare in una normale città italiana. Ciò che non mi è piaciuto è stata un po' di incostanza per cui su dieci volte 6 non ho mangiato benissimo. Comunque per quelle volte che ho mangiato bene ci ritornerò senz'altro.

Selbst gemachte Pasta, schöner Platz, leckere Aperol Spritz, nicht günstig, dafür gut, wenn auch keine besonders großen Portionen (passend zum Konzept).

Sehr lecker. Kleine Karte. Netter Service. Gute Musik. Hat alles gestimmt.

Дуже смачна паста, десерти та аперативні закуски

Zwei Male besucht: Spätsommer 2022 Spätsommer 2020

Ich mag es hier sehr. Der Kellner weiß was er verkauft, tolle Weine auf der Karte, essen auch top, manchmal bescheiden gewürzt jedoch. Desserts waren immer on Point!

Unfriendly and arrogant service, mediocre food.

Assolutamente il miglior posto dove poter mangiare ITALIANO!!!!! CONSIGLIATISSIMO! Cucina top, servizio top!

Meget lækker mad som var sammensat på en spændende måde. Noget af det bedste vi har smagt længe. Personalet var venlige, og der var en god stemning. En del af gæsterne talte italiensk, hvilket virkede som et kvalitetsstempel 😃

Menù breve, forse un po' troppo. Per il prezzo e per la lunghezza del menù mi sarei aspettato dei piatti più saporiti (ho assaggiato un primo e un dolce). Molta attenzione all'impiattamento ma rimango dubbioso sul resto.

Small, tasty portions, but the chef has forgotten that salt is the most important ingredient. Used to be a cozy venue, now a bit too bright and sterile.

Sehr hochwertiges und frisches Essen, der Koch hat mindestens einen Stern verdient. Alle Speisen die wir hatten: Oktopus, Artischocke, Adlerfisch und auch der Nachtisch waren ein Gedicht. Der Rotwein war zwar nicht günstig, aber auch hier passte das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Die Kellner sind sehr zuvorkommend und aufmerksam. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Scarsissima scelta vegana, purtroppo ancora una volta i ristoratori italiani non riescono a stare al passo coi tempi. Generalmente prezzi molto alti (ogni cestino di pane costa 3 euro), e per una cena complessiva per 8 persone di quasi 400 euro non ci è stato offerto nemmeno il caffè. Spero che questo feedback porti a un miglioramento generale.

Bistrot di cucina italiana regionale (Veneto), situato nel cuore di Neukölln. Piatti particolari, con buona varietà tra antipasti, primi, secondi e dessert. Sfortunatamente la scelta vegana è nulla. Il locale è molto piccolo ma accogliente, i camerieri gentili e disponibili. Prezzi sopra la media ma si può pagare con carta. I piatti hanno spazio di miglioramento, ma sono da evidenziare positivamente il tagliere dell'antipasto con il radicchio tardivo di Treviso e l'Aperol Spritz.

Das Essen war echt lecker. Ich kann es nur empfehlen. Wir sind wirklich mehr als zufrieden

Ein gemütliches, kleines Restaurant mit schönem Ambiente, äußerst zuvorkommendem Team und sehr leckerem Essen. Um regelmäßig hinzugehen ist mir die Preisklasse etwas zu hoch. Aber für besondere Anlässe gerne wieder!

I went there with my boyfriend having no idea what was on the menu; I'm a vegetarian and not a big fan of cheese, which is why I couldn't find a dish I could consider tasty enough to order. My boyfriend wanted to leave, but I thought that would be rude and suggested that we at least order a drink before leaving, just to support the venue. As we were sitting and waiting for our drinks, I heard the waiter and another man (the owner, I think?) complaining in Italian that we had not ordered food, saying that 'it is an excuse many people use not to order because it is expensive'. I was shocked by the rudeness of the whole situation! Maybe you should be more careful talking about your customers while they are sitting right next to you, because you were lucky enough to be talking right next to an Italian person who could understand everything you said. I am not leaving one star because I did not try the food, but the Aperol Spritz was not the best. You should definitely shower in kindness before going to work.

Wonderful culinary experience, a deep dive into non-pretentious, honest and yet very tasty food. Approved!

Bon accueil, plats petits mais goûteux, service souriant. Mériterait des propositions alternatives de vin en carafe, plus abordables.

If you are “fully booked” and dont have “walk in seats” (as good places normally have) at least dont be rude and do not make a performance by opening the door and asking your guests to leave. It was extremely impolite. Hope you will work on your manners and will be more friendly with your customers next time.

Früher ein Laden mit guter Küche und fairen Preisen. Mittlerweile ist der Küche gehoben, die Portionen sehr klein und die Preise fernab jeglicher Relation. Schade, früher war der Laden eine Institution in Neukölln.

Gehobene italienische Küche in einem super einfach gehaltenen Restaurant das eher an eine Studentenwohnung erinnert. Der Rotwein, der uns empfohlen worden ist, war fantastisch.Ich fand es irritierend, dass die Rechnung händisch auf einem Stück Papier notiert worden ist.

Authentic, honest and highly skillful kitchen with great wine selection. Love the tartar, onion tartelette and of course the pasta. 🫠 Highly recommended.

Went here with my boyfriend which is Italian and works in Italian gastronomy in Berlin. We wanted to try the place because we love italien food but we were pretty disappointed. Small portions of really untasty food. We tried to keep it cheap but we ended up paying too much for what we got. I understand we’re not anywhere near the Adriatic sea but this seppie tasted like plastic, definitely not a good experience. Too bad because with a little more effort they could get some better and tastier food.

Taste, innovation, tradition, research, service, staff, atmosphere, wine…all perfetto🖤🐑

Sehr leckeres Essen, gutes Service :-)

Ich war gestern mit den Kollegen essen. Alle waren super begeistert. Der Kellner war von Anfang bis zum Ende des Abends zu uns gegenüber einfach Klasse. Wenn man Italienisch mit kreativen Gerichten aus Venetien ausprobieren möchte, dann ist Pecora Nera der richtige Ort.

Am vergangenen Samstagabend durften wir in den Genuss der himmlischen Küche der "LA PECORA NERA" kommen - von der Vorspeise bis zum Hauptgang und dem Dessert. Und alles war einfach HERVORRAGEND! WOW! Auch die Bedienung sowie der Service waren sehr zuvorkommend und professionell. Wir freuen uns jetzt schon auf unseren nächsten Besuch! GRAZIE! 😊

Very kind and attentive staff. They helped me with a nice wine pairing to bigoli with anchovy sauce. Pasta was a touch too salty but it was overall a warm experience.

Ein kleines und rustikales Restaurant mit sehr freundlichem und umsichtig Personal. Beim Essen in der Qualität inkl der Präsentation fühlt man sich in Italien!

One of my favourite Italian place in berlin! You can find dishes from the cooking tradition of Veneto renewed in a spectacular way. And a plus one is the selection of wine and the dessert! (Here are some pictures from last winter)

The team is super friendly, a true Italian restaurant to discover in Berlin. The food is a perfect mix between Mediterranean culinary tradition and fresh reinterpretation. Lovely selection of natural and regional wines. Great location at just few meters from Tempelhof, one of my favourite park in The city. Don’t be shy.

Eccezionale! Servizio, cortesia e qualità! L’ombrina era cotta alla perfezione ed esaltava la naturale bontà del pesce, in pochi ristoranti ho trovato tale perfezione. Da tornarci per gustare ogni proposta!

Also ich weiß nicht, was manche negative Bewertungen sollen. Ich bin selbst Italienerin, habe mich willkommen gefühlt und habe gut gegessen. Es ist nicht das günstigster Lokal in der Gegend, aber das weiß man wenn man in Google das Menü anguckt. Also ich werde definitiv zurück kommen.

Due the negative reviews I have read, I feel the duty to write my thoughts about the current management of Pecora Nera in Schillerkiez ; - the owner of the restaurant is neither a Cook nor a Chef, he never was. He is a former food/delivery worker who briefly served as a helper (with negative results) for starters and salads in a restaurant in Mitte. I'm writing this for future customers and in defense of the Italian Gastronomy of Berlin and of the Italians who with difficulty and work have earned the respect and trust of the local community. * Reviews should not be deleted because it serves to inform customers. * Thanks

The Bucatini with Anchovies was pretty much the best pasta I had in years and I eat a lot. Simple, yet so satisfying. The service was so nice and friendly. I didn't like the initial wine so much so I got a better one without any comment or look and all in all I just felt very welcome. Thank you for that!

Waren dort mit Kindern Abendessen. Sehr freundliches Personal und leckeres Essen. Wir hatten die Ravioli und Risotto, welche beide gemundet haben. Insbesondere der Vorspeisensalat mit Kräutern war sehr lecker. #empfehlenswert

What a place! Great food, very high quality dishes and fair prices. The wine selection is a great plus and the host is a very good expert. In case of doubt, or if you just wanna try something new…just ask him. Highly recommend if you’re looking for very nice Italian food in a cosy restaurant 👌🏻

Great place to sit by the square and share a bottle of wine with friends. 😊 BUT, if you want to eat GOOD food, DO NOT COME HERE. Their salad is downright non-sauced weeds collected from the park nearby! And I had some of the worst raviolis of my life here. CAUTIOUSLY approach this place as a bar ONLY. Service is also not very professional TBH.

Da landet man spontan und an einem höchst belebten Abend einen unerwarteten Treffer: im Schwarzen Schaf. Der Service zuvorkommend trotz Hochbetrieb und das kleine Essen ein aromatischer Knaller, der auch handwerklich richtig gut gemacht war; dazu noch das Glück, den richtigen Wein zu Risotto und karamelisiertem Chiccoree erwischt zu haben. Wirklich lecker. Ich komme wieder!

Went there for our anniversary dinner. Wife chose the place because she loves Italian and usually picks the best places. Was very excited at first. The restaurant was understaffed on a busy day. The food was undercooked and bland. Overpriced, small portions, bad food: the holy Trinity for restaurants not to visit again. Went home happy cuz wife doesn't get to choose restaurants for this year. 😊

Avoid at all costs. Some of the dishes were just bland, but others were really inedible.

Good spot for a glass of wine but the food is overpriced and overall not good value for money. Especially the salad was not even edible.

Amazing soul food and best service iv had in Berlin for a long time!
