Papa Pane di Sorrento in Berlin

Hello, a very centrally located and heavily frequented establishment with a good reputation. Prices are quite ambitious, especially given the location. For that reason, and because Italian cuisine isn't my preference, I'm unlikely to become a regular here. All the best to the establishment and its staff, though.

tasty Excellent service Excellent price

Way too loud. Good food. Nice staff. Good location.

A very good Italian restaurant with delicious, sometimes unusually prepared pizzas. The service was very friendly, and the restaurant will pre-slice pizzas upon request and offer the option of ordering extra plates so that several people can share several pizzas. Great concept! The space is quite large and doesn't feel particularly cozy, but you certainly feel at home. Despite its size, it was very busy, so it's best to make a reservation. I definitely recommend a visit!

My favorite Italian restaurant in Berlin. The strozzapretti with ragu Bolognese is, as always, absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, they no longer serve lunch, which we are very sorry about. Update March 19, 2025: It's back: lunch at papa pane di Sorrento! I'm so happy about it.

Thank you so much for the lovely evening with excellent service and delicious food! If we lived in Berlin, this would be our regular restaurant. Best regards, Enno Klapper

Truly delicious pizza, welcome and pleasant atmosphere, recommended!

Very tasty pizza and great appetizers. The wine was good too.

My favorite Italian restaurant for years! Food and service always 1A. Location and atmosphere great!

The food was great, especially the excellent service from the waiters, who assisted us with every small detail. Feels just like being in Italy!

One of the best italian food that i have tried here in berlin. Really recommended!

Please change your knives! It's not possible to have butter knives in a pizzeria that are completely flexible and don't cut! Too bad, it spoils the experience a bit even though the pizzas are very good. Quite noisy place but fast service

A culinary short vacation to Italy – an unforgettable evening at Papa Pane! Sometimes there are those special evenings that burn deep in your heart - not just because of the company, but also because of the magic of the food. My partner took me to Papa Pane and from the first moment I felt welcome, almost like I was with old friends. The ambience? Warm, lively, full of warmth. The service? Perfect – attentive but unobtrusive, with that charming Italian spirit. And then the food… fireworks for the senses! We started with the eggplant tartare - a taste explosion of fine roasted aromas and Mediterranean freshness. Each bite melted in the mouth as if it told a story of Italy. But the highlight of the evening? The Diavola pizza. Even as I write this sentence, I can feel the feeling of happiness from back then. The crispy, extremely tender base, the spicy, hot salami, the fruity tomato sauce – I closed my eyes and was no longer in Berlin, but somewhere between Naples and Sicily. And because we couldn't stop enjoying, we treated ourselves to the incredible dessert platter - a sweet symphony that perfectly rounded off the experience. A week later, I still think back to that meal with a smile on my face and looking forward to the next time. Papa Pane, you are great! Thank you for this unforgettable evening! An absolute recommendation from the bottom of my heart for anyone who wants to experience the real Italian lifestyle on a plate.

Super delicious pizza and very friendly staff!

Great casual Italian place. Good wines, but not a very wide selection. Amazing staff. Incredibly friendly and helpful. The food is fantastic and prices reasonable. Reservations recommended.

very good food, original, fresh ingredients. Perfect for kids who can paint on the tablecloth (that's really cool). dishes in children's sizes, including pizza. Too uncomfortable for those looking for romance ;)

Very cool store with even cooler employees. Spontaneously set up in the evening with 6 people - getting a table was super flexible. Great pizza and delicious tartare, enjoyed a few oysters first - with spectacular homemade limoncello and relaxed Berli-taliono sayings from Luciano. Finally, delicious desserts at the table. A perfect experience and highly recommended. Collegial greetings from Darmstadt.

Nydelig mat i en fantastisk flott atmosfære. Eieren tok seg tid til å snakke med gjestene. Denne plassen anbefales virkelig.

A combination of Italian openness, friendliness and delicious food. As guests we were almost like family and Lugiano carried us through the evening in a wonderful way. Always my pleasure.

A sensational evening with great food and first-class service. Luciano is a witty Italian host. We haven't laughed so much in Berlin yet. Thank you for that 👍

Great Italian restaurant with very tasty food and great service.

This is a great Italian restaurant. The service is very welcoming and attentive. The food and cocktails were delicious. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks! 🙏

World class! An absolute must in Berlin. Very high quality, paired with rich food at a really fair price. We'll be back. Thank you very much for a lovely, unforgettable evening!

Absolute taste experience! Super friendly team and great atmosphere 💗

definitely try: Pizza Margherita

We go there since years. What a pity that it is close for lunch. So many remembering in this place.

Super Essen, toller Service - nur etwas laut

Delicious food with great service. It was a nice evening.

There may be nicer restaurants in Berlin...but no better pizza.

It was our first time there and we were immediately greeted in a friendly manner. You feel very welcome. Food was super tasty. Service top. Luciano, great person! Many greetings from the NRW group :-)

Really very tasty, authentic Italian food!!!

Restaurante italiano 100 %, auténticas pizzas napolitanas. Amplio y con buen ambiente, las pizzas son grandes y casi perfectas. Muy buen trato al cliente y calidad-precio inmejorable.

Lucia, Oliver, Vicenzo ... lovely service the best in Berlin so far and amazing Food! I'm definitely coming back.

It's been a long time since I've had pizza this good. The atmosphere could be nicer. But there's always something 🙃 If we're in Berlin again, we'll definitely come back!

We had a really nice evening in the restaurant. I've never eaten pizza better. The service was a smooth one. We got to the restaurant a few minutes early, the owners were so kind and bought us two drinks. This even though we were there 25 minutes before our reservation. A very big compliment. Everything is right here! ✌🏻

Not recommended for older people or people with mobility problems because there are toilets in the basement. 17 high concrete staircase steps. Danger of tripping! Unfortunately, there are no handrails on the outside walls of the stairwell for people with walking difficulties, for their safety. Experience report December 14, 2024, 6:00 p.m The shop was jam-packed, overcrowded, overseated with around 150 people; there were 20 of us alone and up to 50 candles. No windows to open. More carbon monoxide than oxygen, certainly fatal for asthmatics. ... And if 150 people are shouting at each other, the level on the decibel scale is way, way up there. No one could talk to their neighbor, no one understood a word. ...And what you need to know: You won't find a toilet here in the restaurant. To do this, you have to leave the premises through a fire safety door. Then you find yourself in an escape stairwell. Then you look for the way to the toilets. Then you discover a toilet scribble on the wall below, but no professional standard sign. Then you climb half the stairs (approx. 9 mega-high concrete steps) to a platform, then do the same thing again (approx. 8 steps). Then you are at the toilet area, unfortunately full of rubbish with various pieces of paper. The soap dispensers were empty or maybe broken. And then we went up the stairs very slowly again. Never again!!

We had a corporate dinner with 3 courses. Everything was delicious, but the biggest highlight is the service and atmosphere! It was so wonderful experience, owners put all heart in this place.

Very Italian: charming and attentive service, funny, lively and really good pasta. Clear recommendation!

Definitely one of the best Italians in all of Berlin! Great food, very pleasant atmosphere, and just really nice people. You can't eat better!

We ate deliciously. Thank you very much

I technically own all of Berlin, it's not even a joke. This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants. Even my bodyguards enjoy their cuisine. A must -go!

An absolutely great Italian! We were there with a larger group and felt very comfortable. The service is absolutely fast and reliable, even when the shop is packed, the waiter always has a casual saying to say. The pizza was super tasty and absolutely fresh. The atmosphere in the old market hall is simply great. Very clear recommendation!!

highly recommended, but reservation is advisable, the food is authentic and delicious, the service is calm and friendly, When the shop is full it can get very loud - typically Italian fine

Yesterday, on the longest rainy day, we visited your restaurant for the first time. We were very pleased with the warm welcome and constant attention from both the chamberlains and the restaurant owners. The dishes were pleasantly surprised by their taste (P-za Salsiccia alle Melanzane, 🍆 e P-za all Tonno) - a gourmet’s opinion. The dish “Vitello Tonnato” aroused particular admiration. We spent an unforgettable three hours in a pleasant atmosphere and left the restaurant with the desire to visit it again.

I think this pizzeria is highly recommended. I was there and the pizzeria looked very nice. The food there was very tasty and the service was very nice and funny. I would recommend this place and it was very nice there.😊

🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🍕🍝🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 For laughs, I asked GPT where I should go for a good pizza and that was his first suggestion. 😁 We didn't make a reservation, but we managed to get a table, it was right next to the entrance, but it didn't bother me. At least that's the impression the staff gave, that it was hard to get a table, but I didn't see anyone being sent away without a ticket, including this one... 🥸 There are candles on the tables and their flickering irritates my eyes terribly, after 20 minutes I had problems with vision, but that's just my problem. The room is large and has a very high ceiling, which gave the impression that you were at a train station, it was so loud there. What made me have mixed feelings were these disposable paper table covers, on the one hand, they were a nice thing, quick to replace, hygienic, but each glass left ugly marks, after a while the table looked not very appetizing, even though there were only drinks on it, like the food arrived, it's Augean's stable 😂 The food, oh yes, you can eat really well there. My partner invented bruschetta, but on a pizza base - no problem! Drizzled with olive oil it was delicious! Unfortunately, such a large appetizer left little space for the main dish, but there was no problem with the pizza box. I ordered 🍕 with six ❗️ types of cheese and you know what, I'm always amazed how good pizzerias can balance the amount of each 🧀 so that none of them dominates the taste. In weak ones, gorgonzola usually kills every other taste, but here it only enhanced the others. Delicious! Pappardelle with Bolognese sauce was also delicious, a bit too salty for me, but my partner liked it. 🤏🏻 I regretted ordering a pizza when I saw the waiter preparing fettuccine alfredo in a circle of parmesan (I guess that's it), I've always wanted to eat it, but on the other hand... I have a reason to go back! 😌 Actually, you shouldn't regret eating a good pizza, yes or no!? Even if it got a little burnt on the bottom... 😉 Finally, the service: very nice waiters who mix Italian and German, but not aggressively. When I wanted to order a second beer, I knocked over the empty glass, which made a noise (but I was already blind as a mole from the candles 🕯️, hello! 😂). The waitress only came up to me to laugh and say that it was a good thing because some of the guests were already sleeping at the tables! 😂

My all time favorite Italian. Everyone I brought here always enjoyed it. ❤️

Best italian food i have ever eat

Nice place. Polite workers. The atmosphere in the restaurant is not the freshest, but cozy. The pizzas are good 10 out of 10 and the Merlot wine is good too. I advise. Holidays are celebrated here too.

Good vibes, good food, good atmosphere.

Lekker eten vriendelijk personeel. We waren er rond 18:15 en er was nog plek. Als je later wilt eten zou ik reserveren, want het zat later wel vol.

Very good pizza. I've been going here for close to 20 years and have never been disappointed.

My italian friend took me to this place promising me a high quality pizza and it didnt disappoint! I love it! Best pizza in town no jokes! Perfect armony in flavours and the dough was just another level. Tiramisu was creamy and very flavoury. One of the best I have tried. The place is big and the lighting perfect for having a quite dinning/date experience. The service was very good, friendly and helpful staff. I will come back for sure!

A very tasty pizza and definitely recommended. Not a revelation, however. However, the pizza is a perfect size to fill you up and not be too full afterwards. And the ambience with the high ceiling and the simple design is really great. Despite the store being completely full, the service was also quite quick.

God pasta och pizza som var prisvärd. Men 7€ för en flaska vatten. Pappduk och bestick delvis i plast drar dock ner betyget. Känns som att de prioriterar att snurra många gäster före att ge kunden en härlig upplevelse.

This is an Italian restaurant famous for its delicious pizza. This small, cozy pizza restaurant is popular not only with tourists but also with locals. The price is reasonable and the portion is generous.

Great pizza! Aromatic dough, great toppings - simply delicious. Mixed starter platter is also recommended - very generous and enough for two people. Desserts are also recommended. I put on a star. The service was very, very friendly, but we didn't have anything to drink for a long time. I would have liked to have been asked every now and then whether I could have another drink - pizza makes you thirsty :) There is also an outside seating area. The pizzas on the menu are sorted according to vegetarian, meat and fish. The selection of vegetarian pizza is quite large.

Pros: - high quality ingredients (for years) - original Italian dishes - very friendly and attentive service - great pizzas (especially dough) - very good espresso - top tiramisu - seasonal options Cons: - Service sometimes overwhelmed during peak times - Tables and chairs are closer together from year to year - also against the background of inflation-related price increases (including with regard to relevant competition), the price screw was turned too much; Unfortunately, especially with the pizzas

Great pizza! Listening to the waiters and the kitchen stuff shouting to each other is an authentic italian experience :D

The pizza is one of the better in Berlin and the restaurant is well attended. Making a reservation is difficult, the employee listens to the reservation request only to say at the end that you should call again because there is a lot going on at the moment. It took me 3 attempts to make a reservation. It would be more efficient for the restaurant and the caller to accept the reservation the first time or not pick up the phone at all. That's nonsense. The restaurant is large, the tables are closely spaced. The staff are from friendly and cheerful to reserved. Our pizzas were good and came at the same time, we had to order dessert. You can go there, there are also alternatives.

Overall pleasant pizzeria. Good food with very friendly staff. Prices normal. The sign outside is very nice (unfortunately smoking is everywhere in Berlin now!)

The prices in this restaurant have increased significantly.

Pizza was good and OK (True Italian Pizza week, both versions were delicious!), unfortunately service wasn't that good or attentive, even though it was a Monday evening and the restaurant was almost empty... but the owner took better care of us than they did Service staff…

Not the normal pizza but tasty. Poor service bordering on rude.

Super delicious Italian food, highly recommended

I went on a city tour of Berlin with my family and came across this Italian restaurant via Tripavisor. There really wasn't too much promised, the food was excellent!!! Original Italian, fresh and homemade food (pizza/pasta) The service (especially the boss himself was really top) every individual wish was fulfilled for us and our children. We felt like we had been regular guests for years. Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures of the food because we were very hungry and didn't plan on having anyone rate it, but it was so good that I had to. I can only recommend it to anyone who is nearby. There were seven of us there, four adults and two children 👍👍👍👍

Nice atmosphere and service. Unfortunately we waited a little too long.

I've known it for decades, a good location with a huge high ceiling and since there's no smoking anymore you can see the height clearly. So far I have always eaten pizza, which is also very good, reasonably priced, the waiters are typically Italian, non-conformist but mostly friendly. If you want to meet, you should make a reservation. In summer you can sit outside.

Best Italian in Berlin Best pizza in town Where the boss is still a restaurateur with passion and love.

Papa Pane di Sorrento is an absolute gem! The best pizza in town, hands down. Their pasta is also amazing, and everything is served at a very fair price. You can really taste the authenticity and love in every bite. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make this place even better. If you're looking for delicious Italian food in Berlin, this is the place to go! ------------------------ Papa Pane di Sorrento is a real gem! The best pizza in town, without question. The pasta is also excellent, and everything is served at a very fair price. You can taste the authenticity and love in every bite. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make the visit even nicer. If you are looking for delicious Italian food in Berlin, you should definitely stop by here!

Delicious food, top service, good prices. Absolutely recommended!

Very tasty Italian restaurant. I especially recommend pizza and desserts.

Nuestra primera comida en Berlín y tuvimos la suerte de pasear por este maravilloso lugar. Muy bien recibido, comida encantadora. Pero fue el servicio, la calidez y la hospitalidad de Luciano y su personal lo que hizo de esta una comida estupenda. La pizza y los espaguetis eran geniales. ¡Cocina italiana de verdad! Un lugar encantador para ir. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente! ¡Grazie Mille Luciano!

Very tasty Italian cuisine. The waiting time was a little longer and we were basically sitting next to each other, but the food made up for it all.

Highly recommended, super tasty 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Always good. One of the best real Italian Restaurants in this city! Belissimo

Long established family run restaurant that has never disappointed. Top service, not only classic food, but also original and delicious vegetarian starters. Large open windows facing Ackerstrasse, now with a sound barrier inside, so the acoustics in the very high room have improved. A beautiful piece of Italy in Mitte.

I was there with my fiancé and we ordered our food just before 7pm. But the food didn't arrive until 8:30 p.m., if not just before 9 p.m. At first we sat inside, but then asked to be moved outside as it was very loud and chaotic inside. After waiting an hour for our food, we asked the staff about it. It turned out that we had been forgotten because we were transferred even though our order had already been taken - very strange. The preparation of the dishes only began after we informed us. When we finally sat outside, we were so close to another couple that it was almost impossible to enjoy our togetherness. Then came the climax: the food finally arrived, but it tasted terrible. There was only an apology, but no friendly treatment or accommodation. We usually always leave tips, but this time the behavior was really rude.

buona pizzeria, mangiabile, ci siamo trovati discretamente bene, il cibo era discreta, la pizza assolutamente gradevole

Ohhh no, we haven't been to Papa Pane for a few months... unfortunately the super tasty, thin pizzas and focaccias have been swapped for the Neapolitan, thick pizzas that are unfortunately becoming more and more common... that's very disappointing! We miss the super tasty, thin pizzas! Please return to the usual quality!

It’s definitely more of a pizza place than a pasta place. They have a large variety. Good if you want to escape the Neapolitan Pizza Hype a bit.

Sehr lecker komme gern wieder. Hat nicht den typisch italienischen Charme sondern ehr auf Geselligkeit ausgelegt mit viel reden und einer lauten aber angenehmen Stimmung. (Wie bei Peter pane) Das Personal war sehr nett und konnte sich auch viele Bestellungen im Kopf merken und richtig servieren. Die Messer sind aber kompletter Schwachsinn, schneiden nicht gut und biegen sich komplett durch. Ansonsten war nichts.🇮🇹

True Italian vibes and delicious dishes with a focus on large pizzas. Sitting outside in the summer includes the whole show of the colorful life on Ackerstraße.

Pizza was delicious as always :)

Only one star for this price range. Bread rock hard. Knives for cutting pizza are blunt Forgot drinks Table not set

I have been a customer for years, and I always get takeaway pizzas. I was happy that I had found a pizzeria whose pizzas were always really excellent But lately in the last few months they have changed type and are almost always burned. I'm sorry about this😞

Best pizza according to local children.

Excellent pizza and bolognese. The price is very reasonable considering the quantities.

Delicious pizza for relatively little money. Another truly Italian family business. Pizza in a wood oven, which of course makes it extra tasty.

The food is really delicious. I was here a few years ago and nothing has changed. Very nice service and family atmosphere in the place.

Nice big room, cozy, but can get a bit cramped and noisy at peak times. The food is very good, as is the patient and competent service.

Authentic Italian restaurant in Mitte, the service was very friendly and with great recommendations (thanks Massimo👍🏻). Tightly seated but that's part of it. Pizza, pasta all great and tasted like on a piazza in summer 🇮🇹. Mini criticism: Waiting time for drinks, but it was really full. Small outdoor area and delicious, inexpensive wine list. In any case: arrivederci

You can pay by card or cash. Restaurant really run by Italians. There is a lot of noise in the place so I give less to the atmosphere.

Staff very quick and friendly. The prices are completely reasonable for such an ultra-fat pizza.

Das Papa Pane di Sorrento kann ich für alle empfehlen, die sich nach leckerer italienische Küche und einmaligen Ambiente sehnen. Hier treffen sich sowohl die Bürger aus der Nachbarschaft als auch internationale Stars um sich von dem hervorragen Service mehr als verwöhnen zu lassen.

Fast, friendly and professional, thank you for making me feel at home. The pizza had a good dough and the tiramisu was really tasty, and at the end there was a good espresso. Cheap prices and very friendly workers 🤩❤️

Very nice atmosphere, great pizza.

One of the best pizza Places in Berlin

It's not just the food that tastes really good here. Above all, I was impressed by the service. Super friendly and helpful. You can tell that the atmosphere among colleagues here is good and people enjoy working together. I really liked it and have been there more than once. Lovely again.

It's not so easy to find a corner in Berlin-Mitte that isn't completely overrun with tourists who will pay any price. The Papa Pane di Sorrento is such a “corner”. Nice service and acceptable prices that you can pay even as a normal earner in Berlin. Since the street is quite quiet, you can sit outside.
