Mangiarbene da Giancarlo in Berlin

Pizza is so delicious that even being full I tried not to leave anything on the plate. Workers are super nice and welcoming. Atmosphere is cozy.

Never has a name been more fitting for a place... good music, nice people, but above all, here you can... eat well!! Guaranteed 👍

A great little Italian restaurant, perfect for lunch before visiting the neighboring Natural History Museum. The food was incredibly delicious and good value for money. Bonus points for the metal ambiance :). Too bad: the restroom is out of service, hopefully it'll be fixed soon. We'd love to come back on our next visit to Berlin.

Rock music in the background, Giancarlo very nice, perfect food

How not give 5 start to a food place that has his name written with maidens font. Recommended!!

We were very satisfied. Friendly, clean, and delicious. Very unique decor. It rocks.

We accidentally discovered that there's a fantastic restaurant next to Hotel Adina! The Italian owner creates delicious dishes that are also a feast for the eyes. Don't be fooled by the rock cafe decor; enjoy the fantastic food and the music of old rockers. When we return to Berlin, this will be our regular spot!

Excellent just excellent pasta Yummi What a casual gem right next to the central station. Food lovers look no further!!

Delicious and open to special requests

Forza Italia, greetings from the Sicilian:)

Super-large portions at a very fair price. Beautiful location and friendly staff.

We visit family in Berlin once or twice a year and often stay next door at the Adina Apartment Hotel. We always eat here at least once during our stay and enjoy it so much. It’s some of our favorite food in Berlin - don’t let the unassuming appearance fool you!

Very traditional dishes with the best ingredients. Super family friendly and clean. Warm service.

A small Italian restaurant with that special something. The food was very tasty and the price-performance ratio was good. The service is great, you can take your own drinks from the fridge. And the special something is the ambience. Anyone expecting a typical Italian restaurant will be surprised with paraphernalia from rock history. The guys from Deep Purple are immortalized on the wall. Various record covers by Rainbow, Jimi Hendrix and others. are also on the wall. The advertising lettering also suggests that the chef Giancarlo is an Iron Maiden fan. All in all, delicious food with a special charm.

The best Italian restaurant in Berlin!

Rustic, very family-friendly, generous portions, super tasty and (if you want) really spicy! Highly recommended.

Giancarlo makes great food and always makes you feel so welcome in his restaurant! Plus how can you not love a restaurant with Deep Purple and Iron Maiden painted on the walls! Up the Irons Giancarlo!

We had an excellent lunch here, the design inside is really appealing for any rock fan.🙂 Friendly staff, tasty food and cool design. Can only recommend.😊 Update from 2025 Feb: still excellent food and nice atmosphere. We've been in Berlin again and went back to enjoy a nice meal and a good wine and were not disappointed.

Great food!!! Great music!!! Self-service is no problem. Delicious

Not only is the food great, the service is outstanding. You always feel warmly welcome. Best food Bolognese with extra parmesan ♡

Highly recommended, very tasty and real carbonara 🇮🇹 eaten. I'll be back, I promise!!

Ate carbonara once on site and took a pizza with us once. Ordered the spicy salami on recommendation. Both times were super tasty and I can only recommend this restaurant. Unfortunately further away from Dortmund ;-)

Great little Italian with rocking equipment. Self-service, but everything your heart desires. Food very tasty! Giancarlo does everything with enthusiasm. You'll be happy to come back there!

Great pizza and great linguine with pulpo. It tasted very good and there was a lot. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back. An Italian to love.

What a great experience when we spontaneously stopped in there as guest Berliners and were immediately won over by the friendly, child-friendly nature of the owner. The food came very quickly, tasted wonderful and the portion was generous. The ambience is wonderful, a rocking, Italian restaurant with obviously changing daily offerings, they still work with chalkboards, wonderful. And every good Italian meal includes drinking a can of orange soda or lemon soda, which is also available there. Absolute recommendation.

Highly recommended. Nice service, great food doesn't look spectacular. But again and again. In contrast to the Porta Nova. You only go there once

Very tasty, nice owner, decent prices: 👌

I walked a kilometer but it was worth it

The best place where me and my friends could stop to eat after the 3 hour visit to the natural science museum!!! Absolutely Italian in every way, right down to the coffee!! This restaurant is definitely abbreviated by Italians!!!!!!

Inconspicuous from the outside, but worth the visit! Delicious food in large portions for good money. The shop owner is personable and prepares the food with passion. Gladly again

I've been there with my family some months ago and it was very tasty, good price and really friendly crew.

Maiden Italy! Gian Carlo is from Basilicata and it shows. Pasta pomodoro delicious w/fresh cheese, ditto Penne Arrabiata. Great, friendly service. Good vibe.

If you are planning a visit to a conventional restaurant, this is the wrong place. Cool shop, you order at the counter. The owner, a rocking Italian, takes the orders, cooks, bakes, serves, collects and does the washing up himself. The food is great, the best bolognese and pizza in a long time. The owner is friendly, unless you order too much, although he points out the large portions and then gives food back. Then it can get loud 😅 Wastage isn't well received here, which makes the store even more likeable. He even left out a pizza with us today and when everything else was on the table he asked if he should finish the last pizza... Of course he was right, it was completely enough as it was 🙃 The greatest respect for that, after all, it's his sales! We will be back definitely!

I recommend it, real Italian cuisine and a place with atmosphere. A friendly and positive owner.

Unspectacular from the outside, but nicely decorated inside. Good food at fair prices!

Really honest Italian cuisine. Great owner. Self service. Atmosphere like a savings bank branch.

Great place for a casual Italian meal coupled with Iron Maiden.

Pleasant lunch with my son after the Naturkunde museum which is just a stone's throw away... Nice atmosphere especially for rock music lovers like me, Giancarlo is very nice and helpful, the choice of dishes is rightly limited... A little is better but done well.. fresh and good quality ingredients... Good prices considering the area... Well done Giancarlo!

I ordered spaghetti with tomato sauce and basil for 10€ and it was tasteless. I don’t know what kind of spaghetti they use, but it is not good.

Great atmosphere and really delicious food!

I wanted takeaway. The owner didn't exactly explain to me in a friendly way that he didn't have anything to pack. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time this has happened. It's better to keep an eye on your inventory of take-away boxes... Long waiting times are also on the agenda.

I ate very good spaghetti with meat sauce. Huge portion and low price. Giancarlo is very friendly.

Italian atmosphere, delicious Italian food and life is beautiful

Small restaurant with loving service and authentic cuisine. The food was very tasty. The kitchen and service are concerned with the well-being of the guests.

Very impolite. Absolute no go!!!

Unfortunately, the experience always depends on the boss's mood. If you're in a bad mood, go somewhere else. Food is really good.

Great pasta, friendly people who love rock music 🫶

Absolutely recommended. Rarely have I had such a good pizza. Our two children also loved the food and the friendly staff. It's a shame that we only visited Berlin for one day, otherwise this restaurant would become our new regular restaurant.

Just left the restaurant and it was super delicious, everything was freshly prepared, thank you, you couldn't do it better, we'll be back tomorrow

I wanted to take a pizza with me for dinner half an hour before work on Friday evening. Standing at the door when the boss came? puts a chair in the door and makes a dismissive gesture for me to go away. Was chased away like a stray dog. Truly beneath anything you can imagine... The owner's reaction shows that you shouldn't go there. You can also tell someone in a nicer way that you don't want to earn any more money 30 minutes before the end of the day...

You may try pasta with octopus. Pizza with salami is also great.

The spagetties are perfect and they taste top-notch. We loved it 🔥

I enjoyed an excellent plate of pasta with wholemeal spaghetti and redfish fillet in the restaurant! I can only recommend...

Cute little shop with high quality food, nice service and charm. I had a few more hours to kill and was looking for a nice, cozy restaurant - 100% hit!

A very nice place run by the owner, who was also there that day. Fettuccine with octopus is delicious (perfectly cooked pasta - al dente). The kids also liked the pizza. The prices are most acceptable. Good rock music;) greetings to the entire restaurant team!

First of all, THANK YOU for the wonderful and relaxing time! Relaxed atmosphere, no rush. Delicious pizza with Parma ham... Delicious spaghetti bolognese... Moderate prices, great hosts... We'd love to see you again!

Cuando entras en un restaurante y està a rebosar de gente local, sabes que has acertado. Esto es lo que paso en esta trattoria ambientada en una mezcla de rock y cine clàsico con toques italianos. El dueño, con su amabilidad italiana sirve buena comida a precios màs que razonables. Si andas por esa zona, es muy recomendable

very nice place with delicious food

Tolle Pizza, sehr sehr lecker. Toller Service. Jederzeit zu empfehlen!

Authentisch. Lecker. Gute Portionen. Und dazu entspannte Rock-Musik vom Feinsten. Ich hatte Fettuccine mit Rinderhüftstreifen, Champis in Gorgonzolasauce - und die waren richtig lecker! Komme definitiv wieder. 😀😋

There is a picture of Mario Girotti and Carlo Pedersoli..

Sehr nett Leute und sehr leckeres Essen ❤️😍

Perfect place with family, best carbonara.

Sehr schöner Italiener ... Und verflucht lecker

3× spaghetti davvero delizioso, perfetto aldente. Grazie.

Great food, super Service and good music. Would recommend to anyone around the area to try this restaurant. The chef was top!

We absolutely loved the place! The food was delicious! The cook was a very nice man and gave a great experience for our kid.

Sehr gutes Essen, tolle Bedienung, wir lieben Giancarlo,den Inhaber

Прекрасное душевное место с дружелюбным хозяином! Вкусно, какбуд-то оказался в Италии)

Preis Leistung, fast unschlagbar. Leckeres Italienisches Essen satt.

This place is amazing! Staff is very friendly, food is fresh and delicious. Highly recomend!

Super sympathischer Laden, und super lecker!

Super leckeres Essen. Sehr sympathische Mitarbeiter. Wir haben bei besten Sonnenschein ein sehr leckere vegetarische Carbonara zubereitet bekommen. Mit einen herzlichen Lachen und einer fröhlichen Art macht es das Mittag für alle angenehm!

Waren zum Essen hier, uns hat es sehr gut geschmeckt. Die Portionen und Preise sind gut. Der Besitzer ist ein sehr angenehmer Zeitgenosse, bei dem man sich sofort wohl fühlt. Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen und wir kommen gerne wieder.

Easy going place, perfect during the day. Giancarlo is a great man, great chef and great taste in music! Pasta or Pizza are best in the house. It is also a nice place to book for parties or just to hang for a beer. Bravo!

Un ristorante italiano davvero carino! Pur non avendo una vasta scelta di pietanza, la qualità dei piatti si sente. Buoni gli spaghetti alla bolognese. Locale spartano, semplice e genuino. A pranzo si può anche ordinare pizza dalle ore 14 00. Prezzi in linea con l'andamento economico. Il proprietario Giancarlo è stato accogliente e disponibile.

Très bon restaurant italien en plein Berlin et bien trop peu fréquenté à mon goût, les plat sont très bon et pour un prix plus que raisonnable (11-13€ pour un plat de pâtes), le restaurant est bien tenu et propre, en bref je recommande surtout avant ou après avoir fait le musée d'histoire naturelle de Berlin qui est à deux pas du restaurant.

Hervorragende Küche 👌, guter Service. Alles wird mit einem Lächeln serviert. Meine Empfehlung: Toskanischer Brotsalat. 😋 Danke für den schönen Abend mit Andy. 🙏

Absolut Empfehlenswert! Super Antipasti vor allem die Artischocken und eingelegte Tomaten, auch der Octopussalat und erst das Vitellotonnato ein Gedicht. Komme gerne wieder und für Giancarlo und Team „quindi rimani perfetto con la tua cucina“ Grande 😃

Einen Geheimtipp gefolgt mit dem ich jetzt auch anderen Freunden eine Freude bereiten werde. Alles was das Buffet zu bieten hatte war super lecker und da es sonst kein Buffet hier gibt bleibt mir lediglich die Qual was ich beim nächsten Besuch dort verzehre. Besser wird wohl sein einfach öfter hier vorbeizuschauen! Danke für den bereiteten kulinarischen Ausflug in die italienische Küche und das Gefühl ein paar Stunden in Italien 🇮🇹 gewesen zu sein :-)

Ich bin irgendwann zufällig hier eingekehrt und seit dem öfter zu Gast, nun habe ich eine Feier mit 25 Personen hier gefeiert. Ich kann nur sagen : TOP ! Leckeres Buffet, individuell zusammengestellt, freundlicher Service. Alles in Allem ein gelungener Abend!

Super nett und freundlich! Einfach hingehen und genießen!

Amazing Italian food with great rock/blues music. What else do you need? 😀

Obsługa bardzo miła i szybka, przystojni kelnerzy, spokojna okolica, widać pasje w kucharzu, najlepszy makaron jaki jadłem w życiu.

Giancarlo è simpaticissimo ed il cibo è buonissimo

Me encantó la música en primer lugar empatada con la comida y luego el servicio que fué estupendo, así como la amabilidad del personal.

Buen ambiente, buena música, buen trato y comida deliciosa.

Mal kurz in der Mittagspause für eine Stunde nach Italien. Leckere Spaghetti Bolognese, sogar al dente. Urige Atmosphäre mit viel rockiger Musik und italienischer Sprache.

Італійський ресторанчик зі своєю унікальною атмосферою. Не в моєму смаку, але господар приємний

Great place to eat Italian on Berlin, I loved the metal theme and how they prepare fresh pasta and pizza

Ti senti come dalla nonna, casereccio, ci si diverte tantissimo, porzioni belle abbondanti, tante opzioni da mangiare, ambiente accogliente

Sehr Sehr Lecker, und super netter Service,einfach der Hammer!!🍕🇮🇹

Excelente pastas! Muy buenas porciones, opciones vegetarianas. Buena música

Super schöner Laden, ein total herzlicher und lieber Eigentümer und herrliches Essen! Sehr zu empfehlen!

Lecker und in guter Reichweite zur Charité

Beste Pasta was ich in Berlin gegessen habe.🥰😘❤️👍🏿

Il cibo è come a casa della nonna, buono , casereccio senza pretese, come in italia. Le porzioni sono abbondanti e scambiare 2 chiacchiere con lui è sempre un piacere. Buoni anche i prezzi. consigliato.

Der Besitzer ist sehr unfreundlich am Telefon und per Mail zu mir gewesen. Sowohl zu meiner Reservierungsanfrage als auch zum Hinweis, dass die Internetseite nicht erreichbar ist. Ich hatte nicht auf die Öffnungszeiten geachtet (bis 19 Uhr) und für 19:30 Uhr reservieren wollen. Dazu wurde ich dann angeblafft, dass extra für uns länger geöffnet werden würde und "ich nochmal überlegen soll, ob wir wirklich zu ihm kommen wollen". Ein einfaches "Tut mir leid, wir haben nur bis 19 Uhr geöffnet" wäre mir lieber gewesen.

Ein sehr netter Italiener, gutes und schnell zubereitetes Essen. Wir kommen gerne wieder vorbei.

Absolut empfehlenswert! So unfassbar lecker, mit Liebe und Handwerkskönnen gemachtes Essen! Probiert die tolle Pizza!
