Muret La Barba in Berlin

My favorite Italian in Mitte is failing! The prices are astronomical (in proportion) Meat is supposed to be expensive, that's good...but the prices for the pasta and the starters are not justified! And despite the great wines, the prices here are too high. The kitchen is good, the service is usually top but unfortunately the ratio is no longer right. It's a shame. As long as it stays that way, it's no longer my living room ;)

If you’re craving some nice pasta and orange wine by the glass Muret La Barba is your spot! The food is delicious and the service is great. But you must make a reservation! Specially for dinner, as it’s quite a hot spot. It can get very pricey considering quality and portions, but it’s a good spot nevertheless. - @osofoodies

Excellent wine, good prices, very good service, great place! Advisable

We came across this little wine bar restaurant at random and it was a very nice surprise! A great welcome from Marco... A beautiful selection of wines and plans to die for! I recommend 100%

One of the best and most pleasant and friendly Italians in Berlin

A very lively Italian wine bar & restaurant. Always packed. Bursting with people, voices and Italian spirit. Great wine expertise, menu is limited but meals are delicious. Your conversation might be limited by loud visitors next to you, the place is rather tiny and small tables close to each other. Though, if you like some socialising, you’ll never feel alone here. Just don’t be afraid to speak up (and loud)😁

Very authentic, changing and seasonal cuisine with nice service and great wines! Everything can also be taken away if it's too crowded in summer...

Pasta with rustic veal ragout extremely fatty. Previous experiences were better. Too bad.

Guests are deliberately made to wait in front of the door, even though there are many free seats outside. Just to suggest in the street scene that there is supposedly a lot of traffic. This is so embarrassing. And then you let guests sit on beer benches while the prices are upper class. Shame on you. We reported to the waitress on Saturday afternoon. She says she'll come soon. Then she ignores us for 10 minutes (!!) and looks at the doorstop, for example. While we stand outside like the last ones. We just went to the Asian place across the street. When we came out after dinner and looked at Mutt la Barba, exactly the same picture. An old couple stood at the entrance and waited for 15 minutes. We waited for our Uber during that time. Please make the shop free for real restaurateurs.

Really friendly, knowledgable staff. Delicious food and wine.

Kleines italienisches Restaurant mit Tageskarte. Authentisch, eher gehobene Preiskategorie. Man kann im Sommer auf Bierbänken vor der Tür sitzen. Es werden ebenfalls italienische Weine außer Haus verkauft, man wird fachkundig dazu beraten und überhaupt ist das Personal und der Inhaber sehr freundlich. Es lohnt sich auf ein Glas Wein oder ein Mittagessen dort anzuhalten. An den Feiertagen zu Weihnachten, wenn alles andere geschlossen ist, findet man hier ebenfalls einen warmen und gastlichen Ort. Eine klare Empfehlung.

Nice place, very down to earth. Had a good glass of wine here. A bit more on the pricy side.

Beautiful corner place with terrace. You eat comfortable and refined Italian food at the same time, and you drink deliciously. The portions are generous (ideal for sharing) and it is located in a very quiet corner. They change the dishes with the season, now they have an exquisite panzanella (photo). Their bread and olive oil are of the highest quality. Good value for money. But the best thing is the attention of the staff: their preparation, closeness and efficiency are greatly appreciated. Mitte-must

Great wine and food! I ll be back soon 😍

First of all: if you want cheap prices, you've come to the wrong place. There is fantastic food here with the best ingredients and great wines. If you don't spend at least €40/person, you're more likely to be doing something wrong. But the price-performance ratio is still right here. The truffle risotto is particularly great.

Long list of wine but very rude service by the female Italian waitress. Did not feel comfortable as they kept asking if I was going to eat. Cashier did not even make eye contact or said “thanks” but gave me a bad look when I press “nein” for tip. Overpriced wine - do not recommend.

Just VERY expensive for something that in my opinion doesn't respect the price. For a 21 € plate of pasta I expected a little bit more! Wine was 9,50€ for A glass: so two plates of pasta , two glasses of wine and 2 espresso, sparkling water (5€ tap water) total 70 € - just if it was very good, I could understand the prices...but so, I really wouldn't recommend it! PS - we Had to buy only a plate cause the risotto was 29 € and one second gang was 45€ ! Insane prices - I'm from Italy and honestly....that's not how it works in Italy!!!

A cozy, friendly and warm place in the middle of the busy city. Interesting menu options definitely make you forget about the pizza/pasta prejudices you might have about Italian cuisine. And that rabbit - that was unforgettable! Wine list shows their serious approach - you will not find the easy and popular wines from your local supermarket. Some rare options are there too. When choosing, you better check the descriptions of their wines online or ask their personnel for help. They are categorised and explained in the wine list, but I still had to consult our waitress to be absolutely sure about our choices. And their grappa!!! It was one of the top three I ever tasted in my life! Lovely place to remember for all of your trips to Berlin.

Super expensive and wasn't very good food...

We had 2 x 0.1er wine. 17 euros... chapeau. But whatever, the wine was good, the rent for the restaurant is probably overpriced anyway and the food doesn't seem to be bad either. But still we would have expected more, firstly that after ordering and - at least - tasting at the counter they would have said: sit down, we'll bring the wine, secondly - as should be usual in good restaurants - a glass of water would be added, thirdly that Snacks (olives and biscuits) are not brought out at the end as if by chance. We have just been in Naples where at least the glass of water seems to be a given.... Would recommend that it be remembered in the future.

Prices could be more transparent, 4.50€ for water 🥲

Food not good, expensive. Service is terrible. One lady is nice, but one guy is rude and not being nice to customers. I would recommend to find another Italian Restaurent in berlin. You would probably have a bad experience if you go here.

Substandard service: unfriendly, impolite and not customer focused. Food (octopus and caponata) not good and overpriced.

Always the best service, great wine selection and good food

A little corner of Italy in Berlin that I always come to when I visit this city.

Really extremely overpriced - never paid €16 for 0.1l of wine

One of my favorite restaurants here in the neighborhood! It's really like a little trip to Italy every time. It's really nice to sit both inside and outside. The food is very tasty and high-quality ingredients are used and delicately seasoned. The selection of incredibly good wines is particularly noteworthy - appropriate advice on this is also available every time. I can definitely recommend the restaurant and am already looking forward to my next visit!

Very friendly staff with great Italian dishes! Highly recommended

We were 3 friends, we ask the owner to get some simple white wine as we're not picky, he recommended one, and it turned out to be 13 euros a glass, so we ended up spending 140 eur to eat one dish each and drink some 5 glasses of wine. Dishonest.

Piccobello everything is paletti, the boss is the nicest boss and the employees know exactly how to do it! The situation was so hot that I ended up drinking the whole bottle of wine as refreshment! Beautiful!!!

It's always a pleasure and the Vitello is terrific!

Good quality Italian food in a pleasant setting. A very nice atmosphere, with seating outside as well as indoors. The roast sucking pig salad was excellent and the wine was very good value for the quality. Veal pasta was a hearty portion

Cozy wine bar in Mitte. A great variety of italian wines, but overpriced.

Recently visited Muret la Barba with a friend 🍷👫. The food was okay, quite basic – nothing extraordinary 🍽️😐. The real highlight is their wine selection, which is absolutely extraordinary and deliciously good 🍇🥂! One note on the staff: I wish they would smile more and show a bit of empathy. Most of the time, they seemed like they didn’t really want to be there, which kind of brought down the whole vibe of the place 😕🙁. It created a strange atmosphere, in my opinion. This isn’t a place I’d rush back to or choose as my first or even second option. I’d only consider Muret la Barba as a last resort if there were no other options available 🌟🌟. Cheers to their wine, though!

Very nice place with great wine. Menu changes 2x per day depending on food availability. There is a lunch and a dinner menu. Wonderful placenta sit outside. Appetizers good quality although expensive. Vitello Tonnato as 20 euros. So many people here are regulars. Nice wine by the glass and a wide selection. You can even have some sent home! Very nice place with very good service although a bit expensive. Definitely on my list to come back.

Schöne, lebhafte, aber nicht zu hektische Location . Schönes Restaurant, italienisches Ambiente. Tolle und sehr leckere Speisen - Antipasti, Pasta, Fisch/Fleisch - alles top. Sehr große und sehr gute Weinauswahl mit großer Expertise. Vor allem aber sehr aufmerksamer und freundlicher Service. Voll und daher am besten reservieren. Lohnt sich in jedem Fall für Weinliebhaber und Liebhaber italienischer Speisen.

Good wine selection, good food, but also very Berlin Mitte.

Unfortunately, excessive prices. 11 euros for a 0.1 wine. Exaggerating about the store and the vibe

We got advice and drank two glasses of wine each. We were allowed to pay €50 for this. For 4 glasses. I had the naive idea that I would not be recommended an extremely expensive wine, but rather one at a medium price level. €12 per glass is just outrageous. Never again.

Very good restaurant bar. Excellent variety of wines and very good food. recommendable

The food was absolutely delicious! The eggplant salad was the star of the show, but everything else was also very well-made. The portion of the pasta dishes were quite generous, and each dish was cooked to perfection. They have a good selection of wine as well! However, the tables are a bit small, so it was quite cramped and they are very very busy!

I went to Muret la Barba on a recommendation. The service was unfriendly and looked unkempt. The boss too. The price for a bottle of wine... really ambitious! No introduction to the wines, overall a very taciturn atmosphere. The restaurant as such isn't really piccobello either.

Nous avons été bien accueillis, le personnel a été d’une grande gentillesse quant à ma demande de plat sans gluten, ils nous ont régalé! également un très grand choix de vins et un cadre bellissimo

Fantastic ingredients and delicious food, great wine selection, passionate and so friendly team. It's comfortable to sit inside and it's wonderful to sit outside in the summer. The tagliera, caponata, fennel risotto, truffle and seafood pasta are particularly good. Not cheap, but worth the experience.

Great wine selection and casual atmosphere

Very delicious apertivo! Highly recommend all the dishes listed. The taste and quality is fantastic. The seating was a bit tight with other diners and a bit loud because of the proximity. Busy place and helpful to have a reservation on a Saturday night. The menu lists all ingredients in 3 different languages but had a discrepancy when an allergen wasn’t listed in something we ordered. Luckily caught it in time and the staff dealt with it well by replacing the item. Was not a problem and really appreciated the customer service we received. Would recommend and eat there again.

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Abend im Muret, sehr gutes Essen, abwechslungsreiche Karte und sehr netter Service.

Extended wine list, friendly service .

Bester Italienischer Wein - Bestes Essen in Berlin - bester Service -

Gusto personale, siamo stati messi su un tavolino molto piccolo in 3 con gli sgabelli. Per niente comodo per una cena (c’erano anche tavoli a sedere normali). Antipasti buoni, la pasta con le vongole eccessivamente piccante . Gli altri due secondi buoni, così come il dolce. Nel complesso un ristorante italiano accettabile. Servizio e cortesia molto buoni, carta dei vini molto assortita

Nice place, but dishonest service. We had a pleasant evening until we ordered food. Despite confirming our order twice, the waitress brought an extra dish without explanation, and later revealed the price of a recommended wine only after multiple orders. We ended up paying for an undisclosed-priced bottle and an extra dish. No customer consideration, just dishonest service.

메뉴가 QR코드를 통해 온라인으로 봐야해서 조금 어렵지만 그 외에 모든것이 훌륭한곳!! 음식도 맛있고 와인셀렉션도 훌륭했다. 식전빵 조차도 너무 맛있었음...❤️ 식사시간에 맞춰가야 하면 미리 예약하고 가기를 추천! 예약을 못한 경우에도 와인만 마시는거면 직원들이 센스있게 예약시간이 남는 테이블에 앉아서 먹을 수 있게 해주어서 너무 고마웠다. The menu is a bit challenging to view online via the QR code, but aside from that, everything else is great! The food was delicious, and the wine selection was excellent. Even the bread before the meal was delightful...❤️ If you need to be on time for a meal, I recommend making a reservation in advance. Even though I couldn't make a reservation, I was grateful that the staff was considerate enough to allow me to sit at a table with a reserved time as long as I only wanted to drink wine."

Gutes essen, authentischer Service. Hat alles gepasst!

Strak ingericht zaak met 3 oude Italiaanse haantjes (wel vriendelijk) die rond lopen en heerlijke wijn verkopen. Wel prijzig maar goed. Volgende keer komen wij eten.

Schönes, individuelles italienisches Restaurant mit hervorragendem Essen, freundlichem Service und einer sehr guten Weinauswahl. Hier kann man jeden Wein auch als Glas genießen und das ist wirklich selten bei einer so großen Auswahl. Je nach Platz kann man auch in die Küche schauen, wo alles frisch zubereitet wird. Klare Empfehlung. Aber am besten vorab reservieren. Geht auch online…

Cozy place with excellent food and nice atmosphere. Their antipasto keep coming back to me in my mind, so good! Good selection of wine too!

Mediocre food, not quite reasonable prices. And harsh rules about when I should have my cafe. Enjoyment is something else.

Be careful that nothing extra is added to your bill. Only realised after leaving 😒

Achtung überprüfte eure Rechnung!!!! Der Wirt bescheisst die Gäste und lässt seine kellner heulend diskutieren, weil sie wissen was in diesem Laden abgeht! War kurz davor die Polizei zu rufen bis er anfing meine Rechnung so stornieren.

Amazing place! Very good food and wine 🍷!!!

Sehr authentischer Italiener mit grosser Weinauswahl. Freundliches hilfsbereites Personal + Gutes Essen! Wir hatten einen venezianischen Spritz mit cicchetti - der perfekte Ort für einen Aperitivo oder ein leichtes Dinner mit Weinbegleitung

Liebe diesen kleinen Laden. Sehr netter Service mit großer Wein Auswahl (gleichzeitig ein Weinladen) und sehr leckeren Gerichten. Im Sommer kann man auch draußen sitzen aber innen gibt es begrenzt Platz, deshalb lieber reservieren. Das Öl ist auch sehr lecker. Das Brot hätte jedoch frischer/ weicher sein können 😉

Super cosy & delicious location

It was not my first time in this restaurant, because of atmosphere, delicious food and wine, perfect service. This time it was some mess with reservation (I did booking online from the website, I didn’t receive approval on my email, so I called guys, made reservation through the call, but when I came there was no reservation again, but guys found table for us). Octopus potato salad is smth magic, so simple ingredients, but soooo delicious, for sure they have some secret) perfect olive oil with that smell of freshly cut grass. Risotto was not this time on the menu, but they cooked it for me with no problem. Dessert was smth fascinating: not too sweet, also salted caramel, amaretto, perfect mix (considering the fact I’m not a fan of sweets at all)

This place is such a nice little hidden gem. The staff is amazing. The food is top tier and their aperol spritz is simply the best!!

We went here based on a recommendation from the hotel we were staying at and we weren’t disappointed. The service was exceptional, the wine perfect and the entree amazing. We had the meat pasta for the main and found it a little bland in comparison to the entree. Definitely worth eating here!!

Degelijke Italiaanse restaurant met enkele eerlijke gerechten maar ook niet uitzonderlijk van smaak in vergelijking met de hoge prijs. Nadruk ligt meer op de wijn.

Gute erneuerte Speisekarte, herausragend organisierter professioneller Service, schöne Atmosphäre. Das Essen schmeckt sehr gut und ist attraktiv präsentiert. Auch die großartige verlockende Weinauswahl erfreut das Herz. Einzig: die Preise sind recht hoch. Ein Glas Wein mit €10 für 0,1 l ist eine Zumutung!

Meiner Meinung nach sind die Gerichte viel ZU TEUER!!!! Die Portionen sind klein und es gibt auch keine riesige Auswahl der Speisen.

No wine list so you end up spending a lot. Also, takes a long time to get any service.

Sehr schönes Restaurant. Mit einer fulminanten Auswahl an Wein! Das Essen war köstlich.Die Bedienung sehr gut. Wir haben draußen gesessen und es war einfach nur schön!

Se come estupendamente, muy recomendable.

Als Italien-Auskenner waren wir von der Küche maximal enttäuscht! Langweilig und teuer und ohne kompetenten Service.

Uninspirierte Küche. Null Gastrokultur. Teure Touri-Falle ohne jeden Charme. Finger weg!!

- Great place to meet, eat & drink - A very comfy and cozy place, a place to feel good and have a great evening. The food was excellent: plates to share, the pasta, the deserts. The wine was also very good, but you have to go through the entire menu to find the really good ones, as most are rather average. The service was really good, nice and friendly staff. So, all in all, a great wine bar.

Nicht nur dass ich vom Essen immer wieder begeistert bin, die beste Weine, und der beste Espresso in Berlin.

Super lecker, empfehle Pasta mit Meeresfrüchten und fischen. 😆🥲😇😄😌😌😙

Handwerklich und qualitativ mit Sicherheit in Ordnung, aber es fehlt eindeutig die Liebe. Gar nicht mal so günstig.

As usual , place with will not disappoint you if you were here before …

Amazing place, thank you very much

Excellent wine and food choices. As the crew!

Excellent ! The wine was amazing, the stuff was so friendly and happy to explain to us everything. They also had an amazing plate with variety of Italian cheese, that was astonishing! We were not hungry so we don’t know about the dinner, but I recommend it totally for a glass of fine wine and something small to eat. Thank you!

Ach was soll ich sagen. Immer wieder komme ich ins Schwärmen wenn ich im Muret la Barba mal wieder essen durfte. Alles ist köstlich und deutlich über der Marke der zahllosen Italienischen Restaurants in Berlin. Es fällt eher in die Kategorie Gastro-Bistrot. Serviert werden Produkte der Saison. Es gibt für jeden etwas: Fisch, Fleisch, Pasta, Risotto. Die Weine sind grossartig. Die Preise sind angemessen. Der Service ist kompetwnt und herzlich. Meinem Mops und mir hat es überaus gut gefallen. Hervorhebennmöchte ich auch, dass die Qualität gleichbleibend gut von Besuch zu Besuch ist!

Siamo stati qui senza prenotare con l’intento di bere un buon bicchiere di vino. Nonostante fosse pieno ci hanno accolti e fatto attendere servendoci il vino al bancone. Abbiamo accompagnato con un buonissimo tagliere di salumi e formaggi. Personale molto gentile. Consiglio.

The pasta was great! Finally a place that understands that pasta should not be turned into chewing gum with tomato sauce. They have a huge amount of good wines, but im not an expert. Gametip drop the qr code menu.

Went here for a casual mid week date night and have to say, it did not disappoint. We booked ahead of time, were welcomed warmly with smiles and to a buzzing, casual environment. Our waitress was helpful in guiding us through the tough decision of what to eat and drink as we wanted to eat all the things. After great deliberation and discussion, we landed on a selection of cold starters vitello tonnato, artichoke salad and salmon crudo followed by pasta with ragu and sautéed squid with salad. Everything that came out felt fresh, made with good ingredients and with care. Also, portion sizes were big (which we appreciated). Perhaps we could have just had one of two starters and tried more of the other things. Go here by yourself, with a date, a parent or with a group of friends so you can order all the things, I’ll be coming back soon for sure…..actually maybe I go back today, I’m really hungry now 🤔. Yes, I will go. Buon appetito

Cold cut was amazing! The best! But it’s always a bit of a rush to make the table free

Wine list per internet only, no recommendations from waiter, unfriendly service. At this price level you expect a more personalized service.

Sehr solide und insgesamt überzeugend!

Good food but everything missed something. The side salad was fresh but missed some seasoning and I also like some little dressing of olive oil and balsamic. The pasta Raghu was missing salt and some seasoning again. The pasta itself was cooked perfectly and you can tell that the ingredients are great, lovely meat The Parmesan was pre ready and not what the dish would have deserved Place is nice and cute, service is good

Heute - wie schon seit Jahren: Service, Stimmung, Speisen, Weine hervorragend!👍

Ich liebe dieses Restaurant 👍 Gut gelaunter Service und gutes Essen! ❤️

Un locale che non ti aspetti a Berlino, curato in ogni minimo dettaglio. Materie prime eccezionali, carta dei vini sorprendente e personale professionale e squisito.

Authentisch & unaufdringlich einfach und trotzdem ein Stück Italien . Es werden nur italienische Produkte verwendet.

We come here every month (in winter time) at least once and even more in summer. Just a year ago we just lived right next to this place and what can I say, we ate there like every week. The food is just lovely and the staff even more - thank you for all the great experiences and dinners! To recommend: mixed Italian platter, ravioli, tuna steak but also pasta vongole etc. actually everything but these are my typical comfort foods :-) and don’t miss out on the great wine they have to offer!

We had great pasta for lunch. Service was great

Great spot in the summer as the sun shines right on their outdoor dining area. The antipasti to share were very nice and tasted high quality. The pasta was good and the seasonal "Spargel" dish was delicious. Awesome and practical location if you are currently exploring the city and want to enjoy the sun (a rare sight in Berlin).

Qualität des Essens 4.5/5, Quantität 3/5 (war wirklich nicht viel auf dem Teller) und wir hatten leider trotz Reservierung den Tisch am Ausgang der Küche, der nicht wirklich gemütlich war.

Grazie per tutto...une aprem de 31 parfaite, 5 ème fois dans mon spot préféré de Berlin !

Nach einem enttäuschenden Abendessen in einem 2** Restaurant, hatten wir am nächsten Mittag ein schönes Familienessen im Muret la Barba . Alles hat aufs Beste gepasst : vom Ciabatta mit bestem Olivenöl, Vitello Tonnato, Muscheln, Risotto mit Trüffeln, Nudeln mit Fleischsoße, Caponata und Nudeln mit Venusmuscheln. Auch der Wein, das Ambiente und nicht zuletzt der Service waren sehr angenehm ! Wir kommen gerne wieder.
