Petrarca in Berlin

We came here on the recommendation of an Italian friend. Very good food. And a bit different from the usual Italian menu. I had dandelion mushrooms on refried beans with chili flakes for starters. It was delicious! And then orecchiette with Cime di Rapa. For dessert, homemade pistachio ice cream. All three were delicious! The acoustics in the small dining room were a bit challenging, even though acoustic panels were already hung on the walls and taped under the tables.

Good Italian restaurant. The complimentary focaccia starter is delicious. You can order a whole focaccia for the next day (I recommend it). The staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere is great. I recommend it!

Restaurant with excellent ingredients. Real Italian food.

Nice little Italian place. Been there a few times for lunch. Pasta and other dishes are spot on. Feels like a true neighborhood Ristorante. The service is friendly and warm.

Good little neighborhood Italian restaurant. Rarely disappointed

Good food and friendly service. I would happily return.

Great Italian like in Italy. Warm welcome, rustic, delicious food, fair prices - you feel welcome and leave satisfied.

A lovely dinner spot to sit comfortably and have nice conversation! A very apero focused menu, great wine list—and the small selection of mains did NOT disappoint. Will be back!

Very nice experience. The food was tasty and the service was very good. The truffle pasta is recommended but the burrata was so delicious honestly I think it was the best on their menu.

Yesterday my girlfriend and I were very enthusiastic about the extremely tasty dishes, good drinks (the espresso is particularly noteworthy) and the pleasant service. The menu is very varied. We would be happy to come back, especially since the price-performance ratio was also convincing.

Cozy environment Excellent quality of products, fresh vegetables. Correct wine and dish pairing. 100% Italian, recommended!!

10% Italian, excellent food and family atmosphere

We spontaneously went to Petrarca with a large group. Everything was great! Super delicious food, super friendly and attentive service! Absolute recommendation!

A beautiful and cozy restaurant with original Italian cuisine.

Good food good service all the best ❤️

Small restaurant with classics and unusual dishes, very good service and wine recommendations, nice ambience

Of all the days in Berlin the most expensive and worst.

Good Italian dishes, classic Berlin based Italien restaurant

Ottima esperienza. Locale piccolo e accogliente, personale gentile. Cibo di ottima qualità. Un vero ristorante italiano

Everything was great, but very salty. There is a small selection of main dishes, but a lot of different antipasti and wine.

We were eating with a group of 5 people and waited almost 1.5 hours for our pretty average pasta. A promised compensation on the house was then still charged. You will then be brushed off during the conversation. No recommendation

The pasta was not al dente and the wine was hot and cost €9 a glass (red wines must be between 10 and 18 degrees). Correct portions, but with things to improve for the price of their dishes. Friendly waiters.

True Italian restaurant, excellent dishes and quality raw materials. Friendly staff Advised

Delicious Italian food and very nice service.

Great relaxed cuisine, pleasant service, unpretentious! Always something for the discerning wine lover... Price-performance: really great!

Really nice Italian trattoria. We visited with two kinds and everybody had thumbs up.

Recommended, very tasty authentic Italian dishes, friendly service, we would like to come back.

Kindness, friendliness and above all good ITALIAN food and excellent wines, congratulations to all the Petrarca staff. If you are in Berlin you cannot fail to stop by Petrarca

Authentic Italian. Full of flavour. We had a lot antipasti and pasta. Trufflepasta was lovely. Go visit !!!

Lovely small Italian restaurant, great food.

The Petrarca hosted our small wedding reception last Friday. We can hardly put into words how grateful we are for this day and the wonderful support from the Petrarca team. Very nice ambience, warm people and absolutely amazing food. Our guests are still talking about it today. What was supposed to be just a small lunch went on into the early evening because everyone felt so comfortable eating, drinking and chatting. Thank you thank you thank you!

Really a good local. But it's not at all clear to accept a reservation when you have my place. Especially at nine o'clock when there is no alternative. The drink at the bar was also not paid for. Sorry. I like the store but that's not possible. I'm not coming back.

An extremely welcoming and comfortable neighborhood restaurant. With a changing menu that offers super tasty and freshly prepared dishes. My personal recommendation is the gnocchi – incredibly tasty and definitely worth a try!

Excellent truffle pasta, lasagna, tiramisu, pistachio ice cream, hot orange-ginger tea. Super Service. Felt like you were in Italy and not Germany. Grazie - it was delicious and worth the money!

Great little Italian with fantastic food and very friendly service! All dishes are sufficiently portioned and taste great. Great value for money

Good Italian food, house made feeling

Nice litle restaurant, splendit italian food served by lovely pepole

Delicious food. Fantastic wine and very friendly service.

A corner of Italy in Berlin Delicious food, very high quality products. Highly recommended

Great place for a date. Food was delicious.

Vom warmherzigen Service, über die Großzügigkeit mit feinem Brot und Olivenöl bis hin zu den fabelhaften Gerichten (bestimmt die beste Caponata innerhalb und außerhalb des Stiefels, hervorragende Pasta!) fühlt man sich rundherum wie in Italien! Stammlokalpotenzial!

Kleines liebevolles Restaurant. Gute Zutaten machen gutes Essen. Lecker.

Wirklich schönes, kleines italienisches Restaurant abseits der Touristenströme. Wir hatten verschiedene Speisen und die Käseauswahl vorweg als Start. Die Karte war klein, aber fein. Eine große Auswahl an Weinen!Ich hatte die Trüffel Pasta, welche ganz gut war! Tiramisu am Ende war auch sehr gut. Reservierung vorab ist zum empfehlen, da es wirklich ein kleines Restaurant ist.

Excellent food and superb service, Will definitely come again!

In einer Gruppe mit 14 Personen sehr lecker gegessen, Wein getrunken und super bedient worden. Zuerst gab es diverse Vorspeisen für alle gemeinsam, danach konnte jeder ein Hauptgericht wählen.

Excellent restaurant italien Carpaccio de Bresaola très bon mais surtout un carpaccio de courgettes incroyable. Une création du chef, une vraie réussite.

Gehobene Küche (und Preise), dafüe extrem lecker. Super Service. Leider unbequeme Bestuhlung.

Smakowo nie było niczego, co mogłoby zachwycić, a porcje były nieduże albo rozczarowująco skromne w dodatkach (w ragu były zaledwie trzy małe kulki mięsa). Być może dlatego smak potraw pozostawiał wiele do życzenia.

Un lugar acogedor, con un servicio muy amable y excelente calidad en todos sus platos. Buscaba un lugar con encanto y sin duda lo encontré. El menú está enfocado en platos para compartir, raciones medianas pero con sabores trabajados y ingredientes de alta calidad. Disfrutamos cada uno de ellos, así como el vino que nos recomendó el camarero. Una cena de 10.

Lunch or dinner, Franco Petrarca always has the REAL Italian food prepared with a lot of passion and care. The menu is „short“ and that is the first sign for high quality, it goes from regional pasta disches, fish (special mention for the octopus salad) and meat prepared with great attention, regional seasoning and great presentation. The desserts are all home made, with another special mention to the Tiramisú! Focaccia, pizza and bread served at the beginning with some great olive oil make it a great start. Franco ´s wife Marianna and the team make your visit a memorable one.

Geniales Mittagstisch, auch abends sehr zu empfehlen. Leider keine Kartenzahlung möglich, aber auch einziges Manko!

Delicious food, wonderful service and small but amazing wine options.

Top authentic but creative Italian food in Berlin.

We’ve enjoyed our stay here, surrounded with cozy atmosphere and good food. Enjoy;)

Very good experience at Petrarca: original menu with plenty of plates to share, and friendly and knowledgeable staff. The room is actually cozy and well decorated. The prices are on the high side, but fair for the quality. For these prices, though, it would help their customers to allow some sort of credit card payment… really baffling to expect hundreds of euros in cash in this day and age.

Gutes Essen, sehr schöne Weine und fröhlich freundlicher Service. Uns hat es gefallen

Not pizza, yet very tasty. it’s possible :)

Mittagskarte sehr lecker, netter Service und ruhige Nebenstraße auch zum draußen sitzen. Pasta ist auf den Punkt! Portion ist ausreichend groß zum Mittag. Es kann leider sehr voll sein. Man sollte bei größeren Gruppen reservieren.

Cool place to eat original Italian food. The wine offering is really rich. Staff is kind and professional. Definitely recommended for a business lunch, at dinner or just drinking some very good wine or a refreshing Aperol Spritz.

The experience was fairly underwhelming. The pasta was too salty and the meat was old. Kind of felt like it came from a can. The wine was okay. The service was friendly and the prices were reasonable.

It's an okay eatery. It takes a long time to get the food, nothing super special and okay ingredients, not a great value for money.

It’s a shame that the overall experience was ruined by a disappointing service mainly. First of all the dishes are overpriced. They dont tell you at the beginning that its a cash only place. So after dinner you have to run around searching for a cash machine in a neighbourhood. Why? Because they dont want to pay taxes or whatever the convenience is for them to not accept cards. Secondly, all male staff serves food, mostly dont speak English, but one of them doesnt seem to understand any language but keeps nodding and giving random yes/no answers regardless of the question. The outdoor seats are uncomfortable wooden benches, they didnt put any simple cushioning to make this a bit more enjoyable. People smoke on tables around without any consideration for your meal. Anyhow, its a shame, the food was pretty decent. Their signature truffle pasta is good but it didnt blow my mind for 26 eur. Wine was so, so. Is it worth the price? No.

Per me il migliore italiano a Berlino. Carta nuova quasi ogni giorno. Diverse ricette con ingredienti regionali.

We had really amazing food here. Authentic. No commercial Italian taste. Pasta was homemade. Best dish was the small octopus with Polenta. One true Italian gem.

Petrarca is a small family owned italian restaurant. I have been going there for years and the quality never disappoints. I highly recommend the truffle pasta, it is amazing. Unfortunately, they are closed on the weekends since it truly is a family restaurant. Remember to make a reservation!

Eine kleine Vinotheka mit einer guten weinauswahl. Wir waren zu zweit spontan zum Essen dort und begeistert von der Qualität der Speisen. Meine Bärlauch Ravioli waren hervorragend und das Tiramisu als Abschluss ein Genuss. Gerne kommen wir wieder.

Pasta mit Trüffel, so weit die beste die ich in Berlin gegessen habe. Die Bedienung, so wie in Italien, sehr nett und freundlich.

Great food but portions could be a little bit bigger.

Italian, how it should be. Good good. Friendly. Recommended for long lunches.

Delicious and very traditional Italian food. They only speak Italian and German and accept only cash.

A great place with tasty wine and food! We were a big group, but still were taken a good care of! The gentlemen were so polite and friendly, they served us super fast and well! My choices of food made me super happy - I can recommend the beef carpaccio and ravioli with truffle. Primitivo wine was suiting perfectly!

Eten is in orde, niet veel maar goed gemaakt. Lekkere pasta, goede antipasti.Prijzen zijn in korte tijd wel exponentieel gestegen. Wel een belangrijk nadeel dat ze geen enkele betaling behalve cash accepteren. Altijd een beetje 'fishy'

Nettes kleines Restaurant mit leckeren Speisen und freundlichen Mitarbeiterinnen

Die Potion ist SEHR klein, sodass wir mit fast 80 Euro immer noch hungrig danach sind…

Such a great Italian restaurant. The antipasti and pasta menu is very creative and tasty! They don't serve Pizza at this spot, but trust me, you won't find a lot of places in Berlin, which are serving such a great pasta. So if you are a pasta lover, this is a spot for you.

Immer wieder gern! Mehr gibt es nicht zu sagen.

Keine Kartenzahlung möglich - Wissen Sie eigentlich, wie teuer es ist, als Tourist mit Bargeld zu bezahlen? Ich würde etwa 10 Euro Gebühren bezahlen beim abheben!!!

Delicious flavorful food. Portions are small.

Great location, food is of great quality, stuff is very kind. I want to come back!

Lovely little cafe in a quiet side street with super tasty, authentic Italian food

Very cute little place, huge wine selection, a handful of pasta dishes and aperitifs. The server was friendly, joining in the conversations of what seemed like regular visitors. We sat outside on a wonderful summer night, had the assorted cheese plate (delicious little tastes with honey/dried fig/jam) and the ravioli. There were only 4 pieces of ravioli (hand made), but delectable. The price reflected the quality for sure, the quantity could have been more. Also only cash is accepted, if I remember (I didn't ask or try with card).

Very good, very nice neighbourhood joint that uses high-quality ingredients with great skill to serve delicious food. Attentive staff, reasonable prices. Recommended!

A really good Italian restaurant. Fresh and really tasty food, nice people and very much liked and also visited by real Italians

Kleiner, gemütlicher Italiener mit grandiosem Essen und toller Weinauswahl.

Exceptional place to eat. I come here regularly with colleagues because the food is delicious every single time. The atmosphere and service is well done. Tip: Look at the black board in the restaurant for additional meals.

Rustikal, herzlich, lecker, authentisch. Immer wieder ein Genuss und italienischer Kurzurlaub, wenn man einen Platz bekommt.

This is one of THE if not THE best Italian place in Berlin. The menu here is authentically coastal and their menus, ingredients and quality is out of this world. Don't expect any generic pizza pasta recipes here. Try their octopus salad when they have it. It's to die for.

Ottimi piatti e prezzi adeguati

War ein spontane Entscheidung und das Essen wie das Personal war sensationell. Jederzeit wieder

Sehr guter Wein u. Prosecco, gutes Essen und charmanter Service. Sehr zu empfehlen 👍

Leckeres Essen, Superbedienung, besser geht nicht! Dankeschön und bis bald 😀

Piccola oasi italiana in un bellissimo quartiere berlinese. Sono stato a Berlino per due settimane e ho pranzato lì ogni giorno. Ogni volta larga scelta grazie ai numerosi piatti del giorno. Cibo squisito con ingredienti di notevole livello e rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo per una capitale europea… Nonostante il locale sia piccolo si respira aria di casa e di famiglia.

Un angolo d’Italia in mezzo a Berlino. Grazie di esistere! ❤️

Petrarca ist eins meiner Lieblingst Restaurants in der Nähe

Es war super lecker! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Super personale e cucina buonissima ..... Fantastico !!

Eigentlich sehr nett hier, aber eine Person alleine (bzw. mit Baby) ist leider nicht willkommen. Schließlich könnten ja noch Gäste kommen, mit denen man mehr Umsatz macht. Ganz schlechter Stil.

Probably the best italian in Mitte. Excellent wine, Ichnusa beer, outstanding pasta dishes. ❤️

Unfreundlich, essen schmeckt nicht wirklich, versperren mit ihren Tischen den ganzen Gehweg. Schreibt man seine Meinung wird einen auf der Straße hinterher gerannt und ohne Ahnung als Lügner bezeichnet.

Super essen und gemütliche Atmosphäre
