MOLA Ristorante & Café in Berlin

Super hospitable and great food! Thank you for the warm hospitality and the delicious food. The cappuccino was especially great – it made waiting outside in the rain for the taxi seem less of a problem. All in all, a lovely visit, and I'd love to come back. Best wishes!

We ended up at the restaurant by chance. The waitress was very nice and the food came quickly…probably too quickly…my girlfriend and I felt very sick towards the end of the evening…and I ended up throwing up several times during the night…I really wasn't expecting food poisoning…in a place like that.

Overrated place for some Italian. Bolognese sauce was alright but the spaghetti was terrible. Way overcooked for a pasta. Margarita pizza was tasteless, with way too many empty crusty sides. They couldn't even slice it normally. You have to get your hands involved because the knife can't cut through the dough. The middle part of the pizza was not cooked. Tiramisu was a good end. At least it tastes like something. Wine was not cold and water was ~€4. It’s like a big tourist-trap for some very bad “Italian” food. Shame it had positive reviews on Google. Try some other places.

We were four people dining at MOLA Ristorante & Café in Berlin, and the total bill came to €86 — a very fair price for a delicious meal with drinks included. The pizzas were excellent — perfectly prepared, just like a proper Italian pizza should be, with a thin, crispy crust and fresh toppings. We only waited around 10 minutes for our food, which was impressive. I also tried the Pollo Caprese, and it was absolutely delicious — well-seasoned, juicy chicken paired beautifully with fresh mozzarella and tomatoes. The only minor downside was the presence of a few wasps, which were a bit annoying during our meal. However, the waiter was attentive and did his best to help by covering our sweet drinks to keep them away. We appreciated the effort and friendly service. All in all, a great experience with tasty food, quick service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Four of us went for dinner today. We had super delicious pizza and delicious ice cream. The owners are very friendly, and even our special requests were no problem.

Food was quite good and service was fine. I recommend the insalata mista over the caprese for the better price, quantity and flavor... the caprese was far too expensive for what it was.

Note: There are two shops here: On the corner is the café, very good breakfast, super friendly service, and very nice inside and out - highly recommended! Next door is the pizza restaurant, and that's why the rating isn't 5 stars. It was a very good shop before the change of ownership: - The pizza is absolutely unbearable. The problem is that every time (3 times?) I ordered one, it was soggy in the middle. Either it's the wrong oven or they take them out too quickly. It doesn't matter what the toppings are. - There are three types of pasta? So, less than at Aldi. - The staff, except for two colleagues, changes constantly, not a good sign. Conclusion: Great breakfast on the corner, not recommended the restaurant next door.

The waiter was very nice to us until we got the bill and we weren't going to leave a tip - the reason being this was already out of our budget, we were making an exception, and we had no idea tips were a thing in Germany. The waiter directly asked "no tip?" when we were paying (seemed very rude thing to ask). And left without saying a word right after we paid, in a very uncomfortable way. I hope he reads this and understand how it's not right to guilt trip customers into not leaving tips which should be money paid by your employees not us. Also hoping he understands not all customers have the budget luxury to leave tips everywhere they go- specially for only 2 beers. Not to mention how this killed the mood.

Sat down for 2 drinks, asked for the bill - paid by card, the server noticed I didn't tip and said "No tip?" and left without saying anything else. not sure if this is typical German/Berlin behavior or customs but seemed kind of off putting all the same edit: saw other responses from the restaurant that service is not included in the final bill which likely drew the response above from the server. perhaps instead of putting the burden of sustaining the staff of this restaurant on its customers, the employer could pay a living wage to its employees so the customers aren't guilt-tripped

A party of 3. The waiter was friendly and attentive to the party the whole time.

Spend a few days in Berlin and decided to get breakfast here on the first day of our trip. It was excellent and also for a very reasonable price, so we ended up going back almost every day during our stay. Service was also great and very friendly!

We were looking for an alternative to the completely overpriced breakfast at the hotel. We stopped by "MOLA" on Sunday morning. Outside, under the trees, the tables were beautifully set, and we received a friendly welcome. We ordered two small breakfasts and two coffees – which turned out to be a real stroke of luck. Two cups of coffee, a bread basket with six small, delicious rolls, and two plates of sausage, jam, butter, and fruit(!) arrived at our table. All in all, a truly delicious breakfast! A real recommendation! The service was always attentive and friendly. We'll be back!

We chose this café for breakfast in the morning because it was very close to the hotel. The service was excellent, the breakfast was varied, and we really liked the smaller rolls they offer. The price/performance ratio is definitely good. If we're ever in Berlin again, we'll definitely visit it again. We highly recommend it.

We happened upon this place quite by chance, seeking temporary refuge from the heavy rain – and, as so often happens, the unplanned opportunities turned out to be the best. The restaurant is surprisingly spacious, yet so pleasantly designed that you can chat quietly at your table without having to share every word with your neighbors. The dishes – whether pizza or pasta – were freshly prepared and served with impressively high quality. We enjoyed ourselves very much, and we'll definitely be back at the next opportunity.

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the service. One waiter had such an angry expression on his face that I felt truly uncomfortable. It seemed as if he was about to lose his temper at any moment. Overall, the staff was very unfriendly and not at all welcoming. The place itself was actually quite nice, with a pleasant atmosphere. The food was also okay, but nothing special. Nevertheless, what remains in my memory is the poor treatment of guests. This kind of thing shouldn't happen in the restaurant industry and unfortunately had a very negative impact on the visit.

I was here for dinner, unfortunately it wasn't convincing.

I went to Berlin with some friends on a weekend getaway. We discovered this Italian restaurant and went back twice. The food, the service, and the location were all 10 points. Highly recommended.

Very nice, spacious ambiance with friendly staff. I can't comment on the food because I only had a delicious coffee.

Well... the pizza was tasteless, with no seasoning. There's much, much better pizza nearby. The pasta was made with tough beef. The restroom is embarrassingly broken, worn, and dirty. Truly shameful and inappropriate for the location.

The breakfast is plentiful, fresh, and delicious. We were a bit unlucky with a piece of pineapple, but that's certainly not something to be taken lightly. The value for money is excellent; we'd be happy to go back.

A quiet restaurant where we ate pizza. The pizza was tasty and well topped. The pizza crust was also good. The service was attentive and quick. The price-performance ratio is quite okay. Drink prices still within reason. However, parking spaces on the street are always full. The walk from the subway (Wittenbergplatz) is short. We also had breakfast there. This is also recommended.

Hiya! For starters, the food was quite cheap and tasted well. Our waiter was nice and gave us everything we asked for fairly swiftly. But there were big downs. Such as dirty glasses, plates and cutlery, we have asked for replacement many times yet the new ones still came dirty. Another HUGE down was that our waiter tipped himself without our permission, which in Europe is extremely inappropriate. Btw I would have tipped him 10%, if he didn't tip himself.

An Italophile atmosphere and a wonderful feeling of well-being with warm service

Cozy restaurant with tasty Italian food. Basically very friendly staff, but unfortunately some things did not go well. We wanted a relaxed meal, but the pace of serving was very high. When the antipasti was almost finished, the first 3 main courses appeared. The other 7 main courses followed about 10 minutes later. Our tip is therefore limited. The ministry expressed its dissatisfaction about this. Unfortunately very inappropriate ending.

Wonderful, cozy atmosphere, very tasty food, very friendly hosts.

Good food, good quantities, good atmosphere, very friendly, competent prices. The bolognese sauce is very delicious.

One of the most authentic Italian restaurants I've experienced. Great in the restaurant and the outdoor area is also very spacious. The selection of dishes and the taste were very, very good. Extremely friendly service.

AMAZING FOOD AMAZING SERVICE! THE BEST IN BERLIN! They speak English and customize your meal how YOU want it! Love this place ❤️.

We were at MOLA late on Friday evening, service was super friendly, nice atmosphere inside. I had tagliatelle with asparagus and beef and it was delicious. The food was served quickly.

Very good food, and very friendly Service 👍

Strawberry Mug was a bit unambitious, but the pizzas were amazing and the service was outstanding. The panna cotta was excellent

Having breakfast here twice. Everything was good and staff was friendly and professional.

We were there for breakfast and had breakfast for two. What a surprise: There were lots of delicacies on a rotating plate: salmon, scrambled eggs, mozzarella with tomatoes, ham, cheese, cream cheese, fruit, jams, Nutella. Delicious and plentiful and of very good quality. Only the rolls were simple baked goods. Although the restaurant is located in a tourist hotspot, I can really recommend it. The toilets, however, are a disaster.

Really sweet waitress and the food came quickly and it was very delesious - very nice and clean place

A wonderful ambience and the service was totally friendly and accommodating. My waitress was “Onur” and he recommended the best wine to me. Gladly again. 🥰

The food was really tasty and the staff was very kind and nice, the food and drinks came very quickly as well.

They are very friendly people and the service is very fast. It is also a beautiful Place to sit. I Will Come back Here!

I was alone at an early dinner. There were a lot of waiters compared to the number of customers, but none of them were enthusiastic "salesmen". For example, no one checked after my meal whether I wanted, for example, add wine or see the dessert menu. I asked for the bill and left, even though I would have taken dessert and more wine if someone had asked me. Otherwise, the service was friendly, although a couple of guys seemed like they were on the job for the first day.

It only has the name of Italian but we know that abroad it is almost always like this, what shocked me the most was that despite having the tablecloth dirty with tomato sauce the waiter didn't want to change it, changing it only after insistence. The environment is definitely nice.

Took a while to be noticed for drinks. Food came quiet quick. Quality debatable. Amounts were good but chewy cheese and fatty salame. Antipasti was good.

Very good Italian restaurant. Excellent service. Excellent tiramisu

Very tasty, good food, great value for money, very friendly staff and a nice restaurant. Gladly again!

A top restaurant, great service, very tasty food, nice atmosphere, recommended

Super friendly service. Absolutely delicious food, good quality, fast service, you'll be happy to come back here

A nice Italian restaurant.🍕🍝 Great pizza from a stone oven.🔥😋 Polite and good service with a smile.😊👍 Good variety of dishes. 🍽️🍷 Located near KaDeWe with fair prices. 💰💲

Excellent service in which you will not be left without attention. The waiters always take care of what is on your table and what you need. Delicious carpaccio and Aperol spritz. Italians know how to make this cocktail. Favorite place

Far too long a wait, a good 20 minutes before the wine came, and approx. 30 minutes before a pizza came. DKK 50 for a bottle of water 😖 too expensive.

Typically old west: vegan not available. Otherwise nice cafe.

We are staying in Berlin for a few days and have had breakfast on two occasions in restaurant Mola and everything from the food, service and the price was excellent. We have just had dinner and again it was excellent from food to service and price. Highly recommend if you are staying anywhere near the KaDeWe store in Berlin.

Just right for a small celebration - whether coffee & cake or small & large meals - there is something for every taste. Cakes are excellent and the pizzas were very good! We were served very courteously and warmly at a separate table for 10 people. Thank you Café Mola for this great visit.

We had our breakfast there. Very good.

Very good restaurant, great food for fair prices. Service was quick and very attentive.

Аутентичный итальянский ресторан, зашёл случайно. Заказал мясной карпаччо и лазанью, всё очень вкусно и быстро, нареканий к качеству блюд и обслуживания нет. Хорошее вино на бокальных позициях, по бутылкам выбрать себе ничего не смог. Объективно место заслуживает внимания, несмотря на немногочисленные отзывы.

Good pizza for in between, nice and attentive service - everything went well together!

Durante un reciente fin de semana largo en Berlín, desayunamos en este encantador restaurante italiano. Buena comida y buen servicio. Deliciosas tortillas y la granola parecía más un helado de helado, delicioso! Lo disfrutamos tanto que miramos el resto del menú y reservamos para la cena de la misma noche. Otra gran comida, súper pizzas y grandes porciones de pasta. Este fue un gran hallazgo, recomiendo este restaurante.

I'm an Irish lady, english speaking, who travels for work alone, I've been to Berlin 4 times now and have eaten in this restaurant many times, I can't recommend the food, wine and decor enough as its traditional Italian food with a very cosy and stylish decor, The staff I have found to be mostly friendly and accommodating. However, tonight, as I was paying my bill, one of the male staff made a comment in German towards me, and the other staff members ran off laughing... I felt quite uncomfortable and couldn't leave there quick enough. I shall never visit again! Very rude!!

Had a nice dinner here. Good portions, nothing special, but overall a nice restaurant, nice staff, and good food.

Had lunch at Molazu and it was really excellent and very tasty. The Insalata Mista was also dressed with a delicious house dressing. Delicious pasta delicious pizza. We can recommend Mola 👍

I don’t recommend this place, although the people working there were great the bad atmosphere coused by the chef of staff was easily sensed even by me and my family as guests. The runners were clearly frightened of him he was impolite to them in surrounding of costumers. Meanwhile they were doing all the hard work he was sitting with some guy friends who didint even order anything, chatting and laughing while keeping the table occupied for guests that were waiting to eat. I was feeling embarrassment for people working there really. Despite our food was alright, i really recommend you nothing else but to avoid this place. I don’t stand up for bullying and unpleasant work environments. Going to that restaurant you support this kind of behaviour!!!

Although we have often eaten well, we were extremely disappointed today when we were “forced” by a female waiter to take a small table for two despite the restaurant being empty!

Had a cup of tea and ate a pizza. Tea was okay but expensive. The pizza, on the other hand...there was nothing Italian about it. Soggy base and no crispy crust. I make them better myself (and am not a professional). This could really be much better! There won't be a next time

We didn't have a reservation but we got a table easily. The Toscana pizza was the best in a long time. The staff is helpful, relaxed and very friendly. Price-performance is top. Gladly again...

Very nice restaurant and nice ambience. But unfortunately for New Year's Eve I personally reserved a table for 8 p.m. On New Year's Eve they told me that I had one hour because they would close at 9pm. Although they didn't say anything about it when we made the reservation. In an hour I had to stress-eat the starter, salad and main courses and leave the restaurant. My New Year's Eve meal was ruined. Too bad

First of all, it took way too long for the starter to arrive. People who came after us were already eating dessert. When the main course arrived after a longer wait, it was cold. After a while it came back a little warmer. But my partner had already finished eating. An interim order for another glass of wine also took so long that we had to ask for it again. Another waiter tried to make up for it with coffee and limoncello but we declined. My evening was already ruined.

Very nice staff, great food, great ambience!

Nice food. Unfortunately we did not get the food at the same time. We were 6; 3 got at the same time. A little later the next 2. One had to wait.

The cake is very good and homemade.

Eccellente cucina italiana in un gradevole locale in buona posizione. Spaghetti al pomodoro, tagliatelle con pesto di rucola e pollo, saltimbocca alla romana: piatti gustosi e ricchi. Servizio efficiente e cortese. Prezzi medi scontati con TheFork

very nicely decorated restaurant, romantic, with brick, typically Italian delicious food, not the best pizza but large and well topped, the burrata was great good staff, fast & friendly

I've eaten there several times now. It was always tasty. The service is quick and courteous, the atmosphere is cozy. In summer you can sit outside with a view of Wittenbergplatz and KadeWe.

Realmente disfrutamos de nuestra comida y este lugar. Personal muy amable y comida italiana auténtica encantadora. Sin duda recomendaría y volvería.

We had an Italian meal in the evening and breakfast in the adjacent café in the morning and both were very good and special. The ambience of the restaurant is very impressive due to the ceiling paintings. A very nice waiter served us and we ate fantastic pizza - at the end we got an amaretto on the house. The breakfast the next morning was also very good and beautifully presented. We were welcomed very friendly and looked after. Gladly again on the next trip to Berlin.

The breakfast was really good, fruit was fresh, eggs were tasty. But... Weirdest thing. I ordered a coffee with milk, and ten minutes later they brought me coffee with two creamers. So I repeated my request for milk, and after I had to explain to the waiter that no, creamer isn't milk, it took them ten more minutes to bring milk, so my coffee wasn't hot anymore. They also brought the tiniest little metal container I've ever seen and I have a strong suspicion it was just filled with creamer and not actually milk. I ordered a second cup of coffee WITH MILK, they brought my second cup ten minutes later with packaged creamer again. What, are they growing the beans back there? Are they milking the cow themselves? And it wasn't busy either, there were three tables sat. Just an odd experience.

09-12-2024 the four of us ate a soup. 10-12-2024 enjoyed a nice breakfast with the four of us. Well organised. Not a nuisance but a commercially strong waitress.

The breakfast is good but be careful, “The Fork” discount doesn’t include breakfast on the weekend. Even if you have received the confirmation email

The food and the atmosphere was excellent specially the service staff (Onur) was amazing.

My daughter ate pizza here with her friend last night and then had a stomach ache all night long and vomited three times and the room was full of cheese. Please be careful at this store if you want to order pizza or eat here.

We were there spontaneously and without a reservation on a Sunday. We received a very friendly welcome and were assigned a table straight away. The service was super friendly and the food tasted very good. The whole thing is rounded off by a very cozy atmosphere. If we are in Berlin again we will come back.

Extremely great restaurant that I always like to visit when I'm in Berlin once a year!

I have always chosen MOLA Ristorante & Café to celebrate my birthday because the restaurant was known for its delicious food and polite staff. However, my visit yesterday with a party of 13 completely changed my opinion. The most outrageous incident occurred when one of my guests was served a dish containing a metal paperclip. My guest narrowly avoided swallowing it in front of everyone at the table. We immediately called the waiter and the chef, who admitted that the paperclip had come from their kitchen. Unfortunately, this was just the beginning. One of my guests had earlier asked the waiter if a 0.7L bottle of Jack Daniel’s was available. The waiter responded that they only had a 1L bottle. When we received the bill, we discovered that this bottle was charged at €160. When I asked to see the price listed in the menu or any official document, the waiter told me that the bottle was “brought from home” and that the price had been set at their discretion. This response was both unprofessional and unacceptable, as restaurant service should not operate this way. Additionally, when I politely requested a discount due to the paperclip incident, the waiter reacted aggressively, waving his hands and stating that the replacement dish was compensation enough. In the end, instead of enjoying a celebratory evening, we were left stressed and disappointed. One of my guests nearly choked, and the restaurant violated basic service standards by charging for alcohol at an arbitrary price. I kindly ask the restaurant owner or head manager to contact me via WhatsApp. My phone number is listed in your booking system. I speak only English and Russian Thank you!

It was very busy, but drinks and food came very quickly. Everything was to our complete satisfaction.

Enjoyed breakfast for 2 with my partner this week. Tasty and well prepared, the ambience and service were perfect. The prices for the great location of the rest are completely fine. Also cheap lunch for €14.50. I will definitely be here again on my next visit to Berlin

Wonderful ambience, great service, excellent food. Unreservedly recommended.

The best cafe in Berlin. The sun always shines here!

We recently visited Mola Ristorante & Café in Berlin and overall had a pretty pleasant evening there. The restaurant has a lot to offer, although there are a few little things that could be improved. Eat The food was consistently delicious and we had nothing to complain about. The dishes were served at a convenient time so we didn't have to wait long. The price-performance ratio is definitely right here. service The service was a highlight of our visit. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. An example: When my friend accidentally ordered a dish that she didn't like, our waiter tried everything to find a solution. Unfortunately he couldn't change anything because the boss had a different opinion. Nevertheless, the waiter's efforts were commendable and demonstrated his efforts to ensure the guests had a pleasant stay. The dish was eventually returned, but was still billed. Facility and cleanliness The restaurant's decor is beautiful and creates a pleasant atmosphere. However, there were deficiencies in the cleanliness of the tablecloths. It seemed like the cloth tablecloths were just roughly wiped down and not replaced or washed regularly. That somewhat tarnished the otherwise positive impression. Sanitary area The toilets also left mixed impressions. They were rather cold, there was only soap at one sink, and the broken shutters and partially exposed plaster didn't exactly make for an inviting impression. More emphasis should definitely be placed on maintenance and care here. Conclusion The Mola Ristorante & Café scores with delicious food, friendly and attentive service and a cozy interior. However, there is clear potential for improvement when it comes to cleanliness and sanitary facilities. If you can overlook minor defects, you will still have a lovely evening here.

Excellent. Good atmosphere, good service and affordable prices

Great fish soup/pizza from the stone oven/tasty preparation

The food is super tasty and the waiters are very nice! We'd love to come back!

We have dinner at Mola restaurant every night in our annual trip to Berlin. The food is excellent, and the staff is perfect. Great atmosphere. The italian pop music is another hit. Congratulations to all the staff for the hard work 👏👏👏👏👏

Service very pleasant. Salad with nuts and apples is super good! Pizza is less my taste but the pizzaiolo (amo sicilia/ragusa!!!) Molto simpatico! Would come again and eat noodles, they are supposed to be good

My top place for lunch. Nice team, fast and good. What more could you want?

The food was great, the waiters were excellent, the place was warm and pleasant, the music was perfect.

For years I have been coming here to Café MOLA with demanding colleagues and enjoying myself. The polite welcome, the friendly service, the good food, the drinks and the reasonable prices are the reasons for this. It is possible to have a private conversation without disturbing others. Thanks to the spacious rooms. I recommend because you will receive excellent service here. As noted, they strive to ensure guests are happy and return.

Great place. Music playing, delicious food. The only negative is that there are plates with cracked edges.

Great and attentive service. Furnishings convey a great and cozy atmosphere. The food was of good quality with a rather simple presentation - without a lot of schi schi 😉 which was completely fine. Thank you for the great evening, we'll be back.

Fried sweet potatoes are delicious and fresh The steak is also very delicious. Recommended Pair it with their Italian red wine rotwein primitivo very good

Finally a tiramisu without eggs and no rum. best!

Delicious food, friendly service, good menu. The pizzas are recommended, as is the pasta. Seasonal recommendations for the standard menu. Very good panna cotta.

Very good resturant service is very good Very good italian restaurant. I eat salad chicken and it is very good.

Very good food and friendly service, friendly staff. Price/performance ratio top. We were only there by chance, but we will definitely come back on our next visit to Berlin. Thank you for a nice evening.
