Restaurant Wartesaal in Berlin

Visit in December 2024 Great central location, nice atmosphere. What bothered us was that the tables for two in the front area were very close together, so that you could directly hear the neighbors' conversations. That didn't seem so comfortable to us. Therefore only 4 points. Nice and fast service. Food was tasty. We find the prices for pizzas to be very high, but that is due to the location. Hence the 4 points here too. Very clean and stylish toilets.

Chic and beautiful shop, highly recommended!! Very friendly waiters and great service, the food and drinks are also excellent.

cozy atmosphere, good music in the background and the best service (very, very nice waiters) + good drinks 🫰🏼

Very tasty meal with a large group (> 10 people). Unfortunately, a dish was forgotten and the person had to wait a moment for the burger... that can happen. But food was great. Both starter and main course. Very good quality 👍🏻 The shop was very full, so sometimes the waiters were very involved and you had to be proactive about getting the next drink (that's why only 4 stars here).

Very nice atmosphere, nice people, good food. It was a wonderful evening in the restaurant waiting room. The best Italian in all of Berlin! This made our school trip the perfect experience. Greetings also to Santi who offered great service. Fast, friendly and professional! Thanks so much

The food was very tasty and the lead there are really friendly. Especially the owner Santi. Thank you for everything, it was great!😁

The restaurant is in a great location for going to the theater afterwards. Food came quite quickly.

everything was great, we stayed in the hotel next door and couldn't imagine a better place for dinner :) thank you!

Delicious food, friendly staff and commendable service.

The food is very tasty, real Italian food 😁 The waiter is very nice, friendly, uplifting 😄 The atmosphere is great, it felt like Italy 😀

Perfect service. At rush hour they were able to offer us a table for two, even though we just wanted a quick pizza. It was super tasty, hot and came really quickly. Big praise.

Good food, nice atmosphere, unfortunately often inattentive service

We like it there so much that we eat there every time we vacation in Berlin.

Incredible waiters, but Santi is the best of all. Food is good too - can recommend.

Very tasty pizza. Yummy, yummy in my tummy. Santi best waiter in Northern Germany.

Very nice atmosphere and a great selection of dishes on the menu. The waiters were also kind and attentive. Would recommend!

They had a really tasty food with amazing service with Santi being really helpful. The prices were also great!

Delicious pasta, Santi was a great waiter.

very tasty food and service, shoutout especially to Santi :)

I had the fungi Pizza and it was really great! Great service with super friendly waiters

I would like to thank the waiters in your restaurant for their unique approach and professionalism. The kindness with which we were welcomed and small gestures - such as carefully noting our needs or subtly maintaining contact throughout our stay - made the visit an unforgettable experience.

Pre-booking a table is strongly recommended. Staff are absolutely in a good mood, quick, unobtrusive and very competent. But also with the necessary wink. Here the proverbial cogs mesh smoothly. It wasn't the last time we were here.

The inside and outside both absolutely breathtaking, the decorations and appearance is outstanding, very posh and elegant. The food is absolutely amazing, everything tastes immaculate and better than you could think. Its appearance is also better than described, each dish looks well presented. The service is incredible, they are all very friendly and welcome you by the door. Overall, if you had to pick a restaurant to go to in Berlin i would 1000% recommend that you choose Wartesaal.

Me and my daughter came to berlin and we visited twice , the staff are especially welcoming . Our waiter santi was so attentive and lovely and if we ever come back to verlin we will be sure to visit here again . The food was 10/10 and the restaurants atmosphere was very relaxing

We were there with eleven people and the restaurant was full to capacity. The food was well prepared and was very tasty. Great acoustics in the room; you could still have a good time. I would be happy to come back at any time.

Very nice atmosphere and very tasty food

We (couple) went there spontaneously: friendly staff, good tasting food and afterwards we even had a Sambuca on the house. Very happy again!

My favourite pizza in Berlin, great friendly service! Prices are fair, very cool space to eat in too! I always judge a restaurant by how they treat single diners, I always feel at home here! Their Antipasti plate is great.

Very welcoming 50s style place, the staff is friendly, the food 🍲 is good overall, worth visiting during your stay in Berlin.

Food good. Unfortunately service was a disaster. The waiters are visibly overwhelmed.

Great food. Friendly service and very nice atmosphere. Recommended.

Service super nice and pizza very tasty. Also got another shot afterwards👍

Bruno was een hele goede serveerder kwam 2 dagen bij ons en was heel vriendelijk en gaf klasse service eten was heel lekker en was een tijd om nooit te verget

Best ober ever met. Nice food. Good music. Everything fantastic. This is a RECCOMANDATION!

Unfortunately, not very attentive staff, long waiting times before you could place an order. Also a long wait for the bill.

Very friendly, great food and delicious!

Table reserved online a week ago. Canceled half an hour before for no reason. Even when we asked by phone, we received no explanation and no table. It's a shame, we were happy :-(

We were there this afternoon. The food and location are okay, but please pay attention to the bill. Incorrect billing can happen once, but twice? Unfortunately, the reason for this did not convince us. Please check instead.

Super nice restaurant, nice, friendly atmosphere. We hadn't made a reservation, but after a short wait we had a very nice evening. Always happy, 5/5 stars

It's always a pleasure to be here. Nice ambience, friendly staff and good food. Everything just fits. Keep it up. See you soon.

Staffs are very friendly but noone bring us menu and salt, pepper, olive oil and vinegar when the bread are served...the risotto and salmon with lobster sauce are very delicious. Will come again. 16.09.2024 To reply the owner reply. Yes, everything was ok. The seasonal dishes were delicious. I only want to say, there were no spicy on our table, since I took the salt, pepper, olive oil and vinegar from the next table for our bread, no big deal, it's all fine.

Nice atmosphere and good food quality. Even got a free limoncello from the waiter :)

very nicely decorated but the pizza 🍕 is not a masterpiece, the dough is not a perfect craft and the entire topping slides down when lifted. Coffee and tea are very tasty 😋 No response to the comment about the pizza despite the waiter asking: Did it taste good? 😡 why ask if no one is interested 🤔 As a managing director, that would make me very angry

Stylish, modern and cozy. Service extremely polite, courteous and professional. Food very tasty and high quality. Prices reasonable.

A decent meal in an appealing ambience with friendly service in the middle of a tourist hotspot. We made the right choice. BTW: The price is also more than fair.

I ate there alone in May of this year. I was able to sit outside due to the good weather and enjoyed it. You look at the S-Bahn underpass, but I still found the ambience with tablecloths and olive trees very lovingly chosen. The service was quick, the food arrived at the table incredibly quickly (1 person), steaming hot and very tasty. I chose sepia noodles with prawns and was not disappointed. As a farewell, I was offered a limoncello on the house, even though I really didn't order much (1 main course and 1 aperitif). It was a great location for a solo dinner and I would love to come back on my next visit to Berlin.

Very nice atmosphere inside, unfortunately you can't sit outside so well. Food is delicious and not as expensive as I first thought!!

We were there spontaneously this evening around 9:00 p.m. without any problems and had a very nice evening.

The four of us were treated really well and in a friendly manner. We'd love to come back.

Wartesaal... delicious food 😋 coffee ☕️ 😋 atmosphere ✨️ waiters are very kind 😇 everything made with love ... i recommend 👌

Mega nice staff, delicious, value for money,

Beautiful restaurant, delicious food and super cozy. Very nice service! A very nice restaurant for the quality-price ratio.

Santi the best waiter. love this restaurant. Food so delicious. THANK YOU SANTI + TEAM

Santi is the best waiter. The food was great and the service was great!

perfect!!!! The food was incredibly good and the service was quick and friendly. my friends and och were very satisfied! no doubts about this restaurant. thank you santi!

Very nice restaurant. Recommended!!!! Santi very nice waiter. Thanks!!!!

The food was very tasty and Santi was very friendly!

Very nice service, the food was super tasty

We were already completely satisfied in this restaurant in May. Nice service, delicious food, quick processing, as we had requested. Now we were back in Berlin and in the waiting room twice. The food that Mimo, the chef, prepared for us was delicious, the service was extremely friendly and very committed. We would love to come back and hope that Mimo will cook for us again.

Yesterday I organized a business meal for 16 people in the “Wartesaal” restaurant in Berlin and was extremely disappointed. Normally I expect friendly, attentive and courteous service - all of which was completely missing here. The self-proclaimed manager insulted one of my guests as “disrespectful” when he pointed out after 40 minutes that some people hadn’t ordered anything yet. The excuse that you are stressed is absolutely inappropriate and is not the problem of the paying guests. Only reluctantly and after threatening to dissolve the community did the manager apologize for his outrageous statement. My remaining guests agree: the service was subpar. Some had only one drink for over three hours because they were simply ignored. The food was mediocre at best and not at all commensurate with the high price. What was particularly annoying was that the plates of two guests who had just gone outside the door to smoke were simply cleared away, even though they were still half full. My clear recommendation: Find another restaurant. Here the guest is not in the foreground, but rather is viewed as a nuisance!

The pizza was excellent. Too bad about the poor Primitivo, it was far below par.

Nettes aber lautes Restaurant. Das Essen (Pizza) kam schnell. Jedoch dauerte es extrem lange, bis unsere Bestellung aufgenommen wurde. Und eigentlich gibt es auch immer Brot mit Öl vorweg. Das wurde uns heute nicht gereicht. Vllt. weil wir nicht reserviert hatten. Schade eigentlich da die 4 Besuche vorher mehr versprochen hatten.

We spontaneously spent a great evening here without a reservation. The waiter had an Italian charm and was extremely accommodating. The food and drinks were excellently prepared and very tasty. We will definitely come back on our next visit to Berlin. Thank you for the great evening.

We came to the Waiting Room restaurant by chance and had a great evening there. Very attentive, good staff who do their job with a lot of fun and an outstanding customer orientation. You felt more like you were with friends. The food was in no way inferior. Whether the antipasto plate for 2, the pizza, the pasta and also the beef fillet, they were all high-class in their own way. The creme brulee is just the icing on the cake - light and very tasty. Briefly summarized. Looking for a restaurant… found the waiting room… highly recommended!

Friendly, fast, tasty. The right thing to do before going to a musical or film. Thank you very much!

I ordered a burger and it was really dry and hard (overcooked). I could only eat three bites, that's all.

Perfect food, very fast service and pleasant staff.

Gut bürgerliches Restaurant, schneller Service, große Gerichte, leider laut. Hauptsächlich Touristen. Essen lecker, aber nicht umwerfend. Für ein Gruppenessen Abend jedoch völlig ok.

Vor ab, die Pizza war super. Dünner Boden, gross, gut belegt. Leider wartet man wirklich im Wartesaal. Ich war am frühen Abend da. Ca. 4 Tische besetzt, 5 Kellner die sich miteinander super unterhielten. Ich musste 3 mal sagen, dass ich gerne zahlen möchte und wartete 1/2 Std. bis sich jemand dazu bemühte. Wie gesagt, das Lokal fast leer und es waren einige Kellner vor Ort.

This restaurant is next door to the Theater Des Westens. It is so convenient for a meal, dessert or coffee. We went to dinner after a show. They stay open until 00:00. Solid Italian food. Solid service. Superb location.

Delicious pizza and good service, but unfortunately in the end they refused to give us a separate bill. Completely incomprehensible and unfortunately a bit outrageous. Otherwise recommended.

Very loud and the plates were very clear, not my thing

excellent food, very nice service

I loved it and the staff were very attentive

I was there today around 6 p.m. There was very little going on. Almost everything was free. The table is assigned, which I personally find very pleasant. The main course came very quickly. The taste is very good but a bit too greasy. This works better in other restaurants with the same pizza. The service was quick and friendly but when I was finished it felt like it took forever for someone to come. Even after making eye contact several times. But yes. The dessert also came quickly and the taste was excellent. Also beautifully prepared. Priced perfectly!

Written in March 2024: Friendly service, reserved table was prepared, it was very full, food was again very tasty. I'll be back. Easily accessible by public transport. Right next to the Theater des Westens.

Was delicious. Friendly staff!! Highly recommended:)

Reservations were accepted for Easter Monday, only to find out on Good Friday (i.e. 3 days before) that they had to... of the holiday "but would rather open 4 hours later." I can no longer spontaneously get a reservation for 7 people (and everyone is traveling outside of Berlin). Thanks for nothing. Will not make a reservation here again.

A really very nice restaurant with very good cuisine is highly recommended. The staff is very nice and welcoming, we would love to come back.

It was a super pleasant stay in the waiting room. The pizzas were good and the specially ordered toppings were plentiful. The service staff was friendly and accommodating, we made a reservation at the window and got it that way Everything was great👍🏻

Very good place for dinner! We were in Berlin and had dinner here 3 evenings in a row. Everything is very tasty, the prices are very reasonable, the service is very good!

People don't always understand the placement policy. Everything was free in the back of the restaurant, but we still had to wait about 10 minutes until the waiter assigned us a table. As soon as we ordered, the food was on the table 8 minutes later. And the hectic clearing and wiping of the table signaled that we should leave quickly. The food - pizza, melon with Parma ham and vitello tonnato was excellent though. So the waiting room doesn't really fit the bill. More like a disappearing bus hall.

The location itself invites you to linger. The quality of the food is also very good, but unfortunately the experience is dampened by service and waiting times. We had reserved a table for 8 p.m. and were able to order quite quickly. We had to wait almost 30 minutes for the drinks alone. About 45 minutes for the starters to arrive and two to two and a half hours for the main course is simply too much.

Arrived food very late, it took 40 minutes, then one meal came later than others and we couldn't start eating together... Really late for just one Berger!! Normally a salvager needs 10 or 15 minutes not 50 minutes!! We were a few people and 3 people food was cold. My food was ok.

Very tasty and beautifully prepared, including the tiramisu. Nice atmosphere and super nice staff. I'd love to come back :)

We were in the waiting room last night before we wanted to go to the Theater des Westens. Unfortunately we were already very late and actually wanted to leave. The great waiter brought our order ahead of time so that we had our drinks and food within about 15 minutes. Thank you very much for that. We'll definitely come back.

The ambience in the restaurant was simply excellent and the waiter service was attentive, very organized and charming. The meal was excellent. Highly recommended!

Italian food prepared by German chefs, overcooked pasta, only fried potatoes as an additional side dish to the meat. Nice environment. Service definitely needs improvement, the waitress was cute and friendly, but once the desserts were finished no waiter paid any attention to us, many attempts to request the bill failed. We managed to request the bill, 15 minutes later still nothing, it was almost 11pm. We got up to go and pay because we didn't want to wait any longer, once I pointed out the very long wait to the waiter who didn't answer me. At the time of payment (bill of €323) you were even allowed to ask for a tip. With 0.75ml of water at €6.50 it seems absurd to me...

The food was delicious, especially the Steak, but the waiter service was slow and one of them was borderline. After waiting more than 15 minutes for the bill to be brought to pay after having already asked for it, the waiter rudely asked if we were going to tip. The price seemed relatively expensive to me for the food since my companions didn't like the pasta they ordered.

A very nice atmosphere to eat tasty Italian food

Good Italian cuisine at fair prices. Top location and matching ambience in industrial style. We'd love to come back.

Food great, service good, atmosphere good. When it's busy, it's really loud. Nevertheless, we would love to come back!

Very very tasty and you can't say anything about what you get for the price. Plus, everything is beautifully decorated.

Excellent! The large pizza was delicious for the reasonable price and the staff was very friendly. The atmosphere was cool too. However, I have to say that the spiciness could be a bit more, I almost cried twice and it was a bit warm in the restaurant. Apart from that, the price/performance ratio is the best!

It was very tasty and cheap. The pizza was very large for the price and tasted good. However, my friends almost died from the spiciness of one dip.

A totally successful evening, with fantastic food and very attentive staff. We would definitely like to come back, the next reservation is already... Great, keep it up 👍🏼

We were very satisfied all around! Even though we hadn't booked a table, the waiter managed to get us a table. You might think that people wouldn't go out to eat again after New Year's Eve on January 2nd, 2024, but we thought wrong! We can only recommend all 3 of the mocktails! There's something on the menu for everyone, not exactly cheap, but really tasty and lots of it! At the end there was a nightcap on the house, that's called customer loyalty. Then we went to Romeo and Juliet and that was right next to it, it couldn't be better. Conclusion: Service is top notch, food is first class and the furnishings are really hip in an industrial style, just as you would imagine a waiting room! We won't be there for the last time! Thank you for the lovely evening!

A restaurant... erm... Ristorante, with a nice atmosphere and nice staff. Food wasn't too much and very tasty.

Essen kalt und wenig gewürzt, auf Getränke länger gewartet, als auf das Essen,Holzkohle ohne Auflagen,sehr unbequem
