Pizzeria Marienkäfer in Berlin

Very good Italian. We even had live music.

Beautiful place. The workers are all very friendly. Good food. (A more vegan option would be missing, but if you're not looking for that, they have many interesting meat, chicken and fish options). I've also seen a seasonal asparagus menu (hopefully some interesting veggie options in the future). Bathrooms to improve a little.

The food was great, very cozy atmosphere, the staff was very friendly. Absolutely recommended.

Very tasty and well fed! There was a "small", in reality "large" starter (small vegetarian starter plate), then a Bruce Lee pizza and a grappa to digest. Nice service, great food and great ambience.

Very friendly staff, super delicious food not far from the Bundestag. Top! Thanks.

We had reserved in advance and were there on time - unfortunately there was no space available for us at first. However, the team reacted quickly and spontaneously pushed tables together. Our place was right in the entrance area, where you could see everything that was going on. It was very lively, but not really bothersome for us. The food was really tasty, the pizza was fresh and tasty - you can tell the quality here! The service was also friendly and attentive. A small negative point: One chair was defective and needed to be replaced urgently! Nevertheless, a successful visit – we would love to come back!

The natural salad with bread was delicious. The spaghetti Bolognese was rather average. International interesting store. I'll come back and have a pizza. Self-service lunchtime.

The three of us ate in the restaurant and it was our first time there. The service seemed a bit rough and visibly un-relaxed right from the start. The food and drinks came quite quickly, apart from the fact that three service staff had to come for one drink until the right drink was finally in front of me. The pizzas were really good, although the price leaves a bit to be desired given the size. When we wanted to pay, I asked for a bill after giving the money. The waiter looked at us and said irritably: "Why didn't you say that before? This will now take 10 to 15 minutes..." After 50 minutes of pure ignorance on the part of the service team, we asked again and we received our bill after discussion, with the reasoning: "Yes, I just have to register it manually first and that takes time." So all in all good food, but service is forgettable.

Food with humane prices for the middle is more than worth it. The evening was successful, the service was very friendly and always attentive.

Very tasty food. Great service and great area. We were very satisfied and can highly recommend this restaurant. The vegetables are fresh, the meat is of great quality and the pizzas are made to a high standard. Everything fresh and delicious.

Great pizza, not overpriced. Thin crust with good ingredients. The service was good and nice. Great ambiance and music.

Food was really okay. The one star comes from the fact that the prices for spirits are absolutely exorbitant. I'm a whiskey lover and just wanted to drink a standard whiskey as a successful ending. That's why I chose the 15 year old Glenfiddich (4cl). Unfortunately I didn't ask about the price beforehand. But I didn't think anything of it because it was just a normal whiskey and nothing extremely special. The bottle costs around €45 and I paid €12 for another 4cl. An absolute impudence and completely exaggerated, with such horrendous prices you might as well give a hint. That a middle class whiskey costs €12.

Food was very tasty; both pasta and pizza as well as starter (bruscetta). The ambience is great, the waiters are very friendly. We had to call attention to ourselves for more drinks, but it was also full and we were served very quickly. Gladly again.

Fantastic place, would recommend coming here!

Nice sunny spots – really nice to sit outside. But self-service? In the middle? Come on, this feels like Prenzlauer Berg ordered on Wish. Prices for the food are okay, but for a Cabonara, Caesar salad and two Cokes you can easily go for 30 euros. Unfortunately, the Cabonara came in the German cream version - so nothing with the original Italian flair. You can do it, but you don't have to.

Very very tasty food and nice staff.

As a true pasta lover, I highly recommend this place! The pasta was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was excellent. I’ll definitely be coming back for more

Great pizzas at a reasonable price and very friendly staff. There's simply no more!

Given the central location of the restaurant, I didn't have high expectations when we spontaneously came by with four people. I was extremely positively surprised. We had pasta, pizza and salad. The food was consistently of high quality, the pizza was crispy and tasty. The service was quick and the prices were completely reasonable! I'd love to come back.

The service was very poor. One of the dishes the waiter forgot to bring on the table, but … put it on the bill. The lazania was made from peaces of beef souse and some pasta. Don’t understand why this restaurant is highly ranked.

Ambiance is special for different age groups. ;-) Great value for money thanks to self service and the quality of the pizzas and burratas are on point. Overlook the optics.

Excellent pizzas, but better can be had. Angry waiter, they forgot an ingredient on a simple pizza.

I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant and I am really delighted. Delicious pizza - thin, crispy dough, perfectly baked, and the ingredients are fresh and full of flavor. The service was very nice and professional, and the atmosphere in the place was cozy and friendly. I will definitely come back here again. A perfect place to spend time with family or friends. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

We particularly enjoyed the pizza. One star was deducted because it was very hectic and loud around us. However, we got a table without a reservation and were served nicely. However, the staff walked around us very quickly, so it was quite restless.

Good food and good price. They are very friendly and serve quickly

Good food at reasonable prices. As a surprise there was even a show program

Very good service. Sergio is very nice and professional.

Great food, great service, Sergio is the greatest gentleman!!!

Bruce Lee best pizza Sergio best man

The food is very good and so is the service. In addition to the service, there is self-service, which is implemented well here. Highly recommended.

Excellent pizza dough and really delicious pizza overall! The four of us shared a large pizza and paid about €10 each, including drinks. Our special request for vegan cheese was no problem, and the staff were very committed to ensuring we were seated and didn't feel left out in the meantime. 👍 One small quibble: We later noticed that we were apparently charged €1 each for the additional plates we ordered to share the pizza, which I don't think is appropriate.

As always, excellent pizza. I strongly recommend reservation. (Friday evening). Attentive service.

Fantastic. What a lovely pizza, base was superb, crisp, not soggy or doughy. Coffee was lovely too and none of its expensive. Lovely relaxing atmosphere.

Unfortunately, nothing was really tasty. The pizza was quite plain, and the pasta was also rather bland. I wouldn’t want to go back.

Bruddal good food, the service and the boss are super cool and correct, got free coffee and tiramisu. Incredibly awesome just 5/5.

Very good place for a meal, delicious pizza, on a thin crust, well seasoned. I recommend this atmospheric place. Very good is that while waiting for the order we received delicious olives.

I liked very good reviews, so before my train ride home, I stopped by for a pizza. It was around 3pm, so outside peak hours and I had a feeling I am bothering the service by my presence. Pizza was okay, not great, not terrible. Not really worth 4,8/5 rating here, but I kind of know why this place has such high rating. Originally this review had no text, just 3 stars and has been removed by Google because of apparent defamation, likely after owners report. Not cool.

We visited the restaurant on March 14, 2025, with a total of 13 colleagues and had a very pleasant evening. The reservation went smoothly, and everything went smoothly on site. The ambiance was pleasant, and the dishes were not only visually appealing but also tasted well—above all, fresh, high-quality, and prepared with great attention to detail. The waitresses who served us were very friendly and accommodating, which made the visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant. I will definitely be back ☺️

The atmosphere was amazing and the customer service especially from Eva was impeccable I would recommend any tourist to come

Very good pizzeria with delicious pasta dishes, a little away from the hustle and bustle.

A good restaurant, in a great location with nice decor. The food tasted really great, but the service wasn't always at the same level as the prices would actually suggest. Nevertheless, you definitely don't regret a visit

Were there for lunch. Well balanced pizzas with crispy edges. Also surprisingly cheap at lunchtime. Really nice family business

We had a great meal here with our kids in a super nice atmosphere with super child-friendly service and very tasty pizza! Highly recommended!!!

This is an Italian restaurant that rivals the better restaurants I have been to in Italy. Nice service, quick service.

The name doesn't suggest Italian cuisine, but this (now no longer so) small restaurant specializes in it. The pizza is excellent: large, flat, both crispy and soft at the same time, balanced toppings. For me the best pizza at least in Berlin. I eat here regularly for lunch. The quality of the pasta dishes varies between good (3+/2-) and very good (2+/1-), usually with quite a bit of garlic.

Very tasty food! Very good pizza and salads! Sitting outside in the middle of Berlin in summer. Highly recommended!

Food was very good and well priced. The carbonara was super tasty, the Caesar salad was fresh and good and the portion was great. Staff attentive and friendly. We were satisfied and would like to come back

Very busy restaurant but we secured a table. Enjoyed the bruschetta for starter and then shared a pizza and chips for main. Decent service.

We found this place by accident. Since we're not from here, we really wanted to try something delicious. The best place in Berlin for a filling lunch and very delicious desserts. Absolute recommendation! Friendly staff, pleasant background music and a very atmospheric atmosphere!

We were pressed for time but that wasn't a problem at all because they brought it to us extra quickly

When it comes to gastronomy in Berlin, people are usually only used to dirt. But as a tourist, I was so surprised here that the service and everything around it is even better than anywhere else. But from the beginning: We were there with a slightly larger group of around 10 people, and when you enter you are greeted warmly and every opportunity is used to accommodate larger groups as best as possible. Tables were moved extra for us (without asking!) and we made sure that everyone had the space they needed. It continues with issuing the menus and taking the orders. The staff here was friendly, cheerful and even joked with you. There is a huge range of both drinks and food, but the quality does not suffer at all! Our group was very diverse in terms of food, from vegans to vegetarians to meat lovers, everyone was represented, but everyone found a dish and I didn't notice any negative comments about the food within my group. By the way, you'll get great advice on drinks if you're going in an unusual direction (e.g. cocktails/whiskey). During the meal, it is ensured without asking that everyone is satisfied, and the ambience with the wine boxes, the bar, the rather unusually chic clothing of the waiters and the open pizza oven plays an incredibly nice role in the experience. Unfortunately I can't say anything about dessert, I didn't try it, although the tiramisu from the next table looked very tasty. The price of the restaurant is perfect. The portions are not small for Berlin, and the price is completely reasonable, unlike the apartments. Everything from 10 to 30 euros is included. After the meal I had a question about whether there were any other relatively special shops. The extremely cool waiter couldn't give me an answer (but my question was also very specific, so no wonder) but he immediately offered me alternatives, what was possible in a similar direction and what he could positively recommend. Last but not least: they even shake your hand when you go out! These are small details that for me personally are the ultimate in service, which, by the way, is still cheerful even at 11:00 p.m. and shows that the guest is important (footnote to this: I work in the catering industry myself and notice by 10 p.m. at the latest that I don't feel like it anymore; but in the Ladybug you never have even the slightest feeling that the staff are listlessly doing their work) 100% recommended and a culinary must-see in Berlin. If I come to Berlin again, I will definitely visit the Ladybug again. For the tiramisu ;)

Delicious pizzas, rich salads, pleasant atmosphere. We like to meet at the Ladybug after work to chat.

Great vegan pizza with vegan cheese and super friendly service!

Very good restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, our lasagne was swapped (we ordered one with and one without meat) so that, as a vegetarian, I had the meat lasagna, which I only noticed when I was eating. That was very uncool. My tiramisu was forgotten, unfortunately we didn't have time to wait for another one.

Great place and the food were delicious 😋 we really enjoyed it ❤️

An excellent experience. The atmosphere is cozy and the food is very delicious, but the best thing without a doubt was the service. The two waitresses who served us were friendly, attentive and made us feel very welcome. It's nice to find places where they treat you with such closeness and professionalism. We will repeat for sure!

Incredible service, ambiance, and food!

Best shop in Berlin Super delicious

We recently celebrated a friend’s birthday there, and it was a fantastic experience! This was my second visit, and once again, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for gatherings. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and well-organized, especially considering we were a group of 12. Everything was smoothly handled, from seating arrangements to food service. The food itself was delicious, well-prepared, and served in a timely manner. Overall, a great place for both small and large gatherings. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a restaurant with a great ambiance and solid service!

Rocket instead of spinach, as offered on the menu. Too bad for someone who doesn't like arugula. The waiter played it down. Too bad. The restaurant is running great, so it is resistant to criticism. Too bad.

pleasure. delicious. Excellent service

It is quite a popular place apparently and quite crowded so reservations are recommended. The Einstein pizza was nice. They also have truffle pasta, which I think I would like to try next time :) overall it was a good experience

Highly recommended, tasted great

Good Italian restaurant. I recommend the pasta carbonara and the pizza. Friendly service and very good value for money.

The Grillo white wine is great!

The food was excellent. We had Sicilian caponata as a starter, simply delicious and highly recommended. So for the main course I had lasagna Bolognese, also very good. And for dessert, tiramisu... A poem to melt away, so delicious and a really big portion. The service is also simply great. Super nice, patient, friendly, not pushy, just great. This pizzeria is highly recommended!!!!

Very good and fresh food, reasonable prices and very friendly service! Thank you for the lovely evening.

It was super quick and the pizza really tasted great! Recommended!

We ordered our pizza to take away and were completely satisfied! The price is absolutely justified – the quality is good and the portions are generous. The ambience in the restaurant is very nice if you want to eat on site. Particularly noteworthy is the great service: friendly, fast and attentive. We'd love to come back!

I picked up the food as lunchtime during the week is very busy. Nevertheless, the staff is pleasant and helpful. Pizza tastes very good. I had half covered with mozzarella and half with tuna without any problems. Spaghetti carbonara was also tasty and plenty.

The Buzz Lee pizza was really great. Really aromatic, fresh and fruity tomato sauce. The Bufala Mozzarella was incredibly delicious on the pizza. 10/10 The ambience is also super pleasant and the furnishings are also very nice and unique. The service was very friendly and accommodating. Clear recommendation

Been several times and it remains a very nice tent! Good Italian pizza or pasta for an affordable price. And the service is fast too! In the summer you can sit outside. Once there was even live music.

The service was good. I don't like it when unfriendly people act like it's a mercy to be served. These people were extremely friendly, and extra service requirements were promptly fulfilled. The food is a matter of taste, I enjoyed it. Hence 5 stars.

Owesome servise and better food. 5 stars for surr

Very good restaurant, the servers are friendly and the service is fast despite the fact that the place was very busy. The food is excellent.

Excellent food, great service and friendly staff. We had a pizza each which were very tasty and excellent value for money, we had to bring some home with us as they are quite large!

We only ordered, but it was the best salad I've ever ordered, unbeatable for the price! Dips for the delicious bread were also included. no shishi just a great salad. and the carpaccio was also really great. We will definitely order again soon or come by

Absolutely perfect! The food is of an extremely high standard and the service is also on point in terms of time and politeness. The pictures show the gnocchi, pasta with avocado and crayfish, as well as the extremely delicious Vitello Tonnato!

They always play “careless whisper” by George Michael in the bathroom and it’s one of the only reasons why I come back <3

Unfortunately, I had the experience of being extremely insulted during the call.

I call to order and without saying a word I am insulted in Arabic, as are my parents. Worst service I've ever seen

Excellent food, very good service.

Friendly service and good food (pizza and halloumi salad).

Very good food, everything went quickly, service is very friendly.

Great value for money. Very pleasant service. We liked it

The food is really good, and its a beautiful place

Good food, good atmosphere and nice people.

Its a warm place and amazing Italian food! definitely a recommadion!

Good food in pizza and pasta. They don't have burgers!

It was very tasty and a nice atmosphere!!

Got surprisingly good oven pizza. Crispy, good ingredients. Service was quick and courteous. Good shop. Recommendation!

I liked it, taste was quiet good, friendly service

Everything was perfect.. 100% recommended!

Delicious pizzas and very good atmosphere. You order yourself and bring it to the table, so you can be more at your own pace. The place is nice and cozy. We were served by a girl who knew Spanish and was super nice and pleasant. Don't leave without trying the tiramisu 👌🏽

We spent our first evening here because of the many positive reviews on our short trip to Berlin. I can only heartily recommend this restaurant! The service was outstanding, the food was fantastic and the evening was a complete success. Everything here is convincing! Always my pleasure. :-)

Efficiently run, tasty food delivered quickly, warm interior atmosphere.

The food was OK, but the atmosphere wasn't cozy.

As a plus point: The restaurant is very atmospherically decorated, the atmosphere is very nice. Unfortunately, we had bad experiences with the pizzas - they were ready within a few minutes of ordering and the dough was lukewarm at most. The topping, on the other hand, was cold, felt like a pre-baked pizza base and therefore didn't taste much. This is of course disappointing for a pizzeria.

The Ladybug is not a noble Italian restaurant with a quiet, discreet atmosphere, it is more like an Italian-international "extended family" - slightly chaotic and cramped but always friendly and quick service. The food is very tasty, perhaps a little over-spicy, but the portions are large enough. However, olives as a table tree are rather tasteless, but there is clear potential for improvement here. Price/performance is right at the end of the day and you go home with a good feeling.

Spaniards, don't come here, the food in terms of quality and quantity is exceptional but they inflated the price of the drinks and they demand a tip
