Ripieno in Berlin

10/10! Our favorite restaurant. 🍝 We always eat the same thing. Starter to share: Pinsa Lydia. Then the pistaccio pasta with burrata! Followed by tiramisu or pistaccio cheesecake.

This place has probably the best pasta I've ever eaten in Germany. And at a very fair price. I was there with two friends, and we had very original and incredibly delicious pasta dishes. They only cost between €11 and €13, which I think is very reasonable. The dessert (cheesecake with pistachio cream) was also incredibly delicious! I'll definitely be back! You should definitely make a reservation, though, because the good food draws a lot of customers.

Update 2025: There is good pasta, great pasta, and then, there is Ripiano. Not just the best, but consistantly the best. I would still drive across Berlin both ways to eat here.

We ordered an antipasti plate with burrata as a starter, it was clearly bad and tasted like fermented milk, sour and inedible. So we had it returned and the waitress told us that we weren't the first guests to return the burrata today, but that it should taste like it. The owner then came and argued with us in a rude and arrogant manner. We pointed out to him that we had often eaten burrata and he explained to us that we would then buy the wrong one and wouldn't know what real burrata tasted like. Then he removed the still quite full appetizer plate from the table, which was still charged in full in the end. We also ordered the pasta with burrata for the main course. Interestingly, this tasted good and not fermented at all. It can happen that cheese goes bad and this goes unnoticed. The reaction from the staff, however, was impossibly arrogant. We won't be coming back.

Totally delicious pasta, but also very popular. A reservation is almost a must if you want to eat here. The restaurant is sometimes a little big for the small number of staff. The service is still trying.

Maximum quality, top quality raw materials at super honest prices especially considering the context you find yourself in. It is difficult to find quality/price like this in Italy. Fantastic staff who take you on a true culinary journey. I highly recommend stopping by Ripieno. Special

The food was good to very good, service was cheerful and friendly, but everything was so crowded (3 people at a mini table) that it spoiled the evening a bit. Too bad. We would have liked it better with more elbow room...

An absolutely fantastic evening with good friends was spent here. The food, outstanding. But the south view, wow I just say - wow! Absolutely brilliant. It was like a home visit to an Italian chef 😍😍 We'll be back! 🤭

An amazing neighbourhood restaurant. Have been meaning to come here for ages and I’m only sorry it wasn’t sooner. Friendly and efficient service, our meals arrived super fast and the food was amazing. Shared two different pasta dishes and the pistachio cheesecake, and can’t wait to come back to try more. Heaven is a bowl of pasta at Ripieno.

Ripieno is a gem in Berlin! From the very first bite, you can tell the pasta is handmade and crafted with love. I tried the ravioli filled with agnello (lamb), and they were spectacular: perfectly cooked dough and a flavorful filling. We also ordered another fresh pasta dish that was on par with the best Italian restaurants. For dessert, we had a pistachio cheesecake that simply left us speechless: creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness, and an incredible texture. Definitely one of the best desserts I’ve ever had! The quality of the food, the cozy atmosphere, and the friendly service make Ripieno a place I’ll definitely return to. Vincenzo, the owner, was extremely kind and gave us great recommendations for the dishes, which made the experience even better. If you’re a fan of authentic pasta, this restaurant is a must-visit in Berlin.

One of the best Pasta I ever had. The Tiramisu is actually the best I ever had in a restaurant. Forget all these biscuit with cream versions and taste the real stuff. Very friendly down to earth atmosphere and an owner who loves what he is doing.

Really Authentic delicious Italien pasta in Berlin! They have a variety of different pastas, with some unique options like Wild Boar and Oxtail ragu. I had the Pistachio cacio e pepe with burrata and my bf had the wild boar ragu, both were incredible. The tiramisu are also a must try! I would recommend making a reservation, as it is very well visited.

Very good Authentic Italian food with authentic Italian vibe and owners. It can be very busy, so I recommend reserving a table in advance. Love the casio e pepe pistachio and the sbriciolata di millefoglie as dessert 🥰

very bad pizza, pasta and coffee. The good reviews are illusory.

This Italian restaurant is an absolute delight! Every dish we tried was phenomenal, from the perfectly cooked pastas to the mouthwatering desserts. The flavors are authentic, rich, and made with love—you can tell they take pride in their food. The owner is such a friendly and welcoming person, which adds to the charm of this place. His passion for great food and hospitality shines through, making the experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere in their new location is fantastic—cozy, vibrant, and full of life. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at home, whether you’re there for a casual meal or a special occasion. Be warned: it’s always super busy! This is clearly a testament to how amazing the restaurant is, but I highly recommend booking a table in advance to secure your spot. If you’re looking for outstanding Italian cuisine paired with a warm and inviting environment, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

In one word: Chaotic. I visited once and experienced it all—good food but complete disorganization. We arrived around lunchtime and managed to order pizzas after a long wait for service. The food was delicious, but the chaos made it hard to enjoy. The staff seemed overwhelmed, running around trying to handle too many tables, multiple queues (one for takeaway payments and another for the ice cream stand), and table service, all at once. Later, we decided to grab some ice cream from the separate counter. Again, chaos reigned—too few staff for such a large and busy place. In conclusion, the place is sweet and has great potential, but the disorganized atmosphere, chaos, and staff shortage hold it back from being as good as it could be.

Food was super delicious!! Service was personable and friendly, unfortunately a bit messy. I recommend the pasta with Caccio e Pepe, pistachio and burrata!

Suuper delicious and very authentic Italian i loved my truffle ravioli also very nice vibes here and cheap

I came three times here and it’s always a pleasure. Even when the local is full and crowded you don’t have to wait soooo long. Ingredients are tasty and fresh, pasta perfect cooked. Fair prices and cozy atmosphere

Amazing and ‘sick’ tasty carbonara and tiramisu👌

Everything we tried was tasty and the atmosphere here will put a smile on your face. Cannot wait to try the carbonara

Amazing food, good price. Highly recommend the pasta with pistachio and burrata.

Excellent pasta, great dessert and great host - we will definitely be back!

We literally were the first customers, no one else was there. We ordered two pasta and a pizza to have together. First the pizza arrived, I didn’t like the dough at all, super insipid. Tomato sauce was the only good thing about it. Then the pasta arrived… we waited 50 minutes for the pasta! I checked the time cause we have a bus to catch and literally waited 50 minutes for 2 plates of pasta. The tagliatelle has way too much cream! And the ravioli filling, absolutely insipid and sad. Never again here. The service was great. Nothing about that. Thank you.

Local very uncomfortable and crowded/overbooked. The door had to stay open at all times so that there was fresh air and you didn't get the feeling of a sauna. Furniture underground. Beer benches and wooden blocks without cushions. Homemade pasta but a bit bland - we had to add seasoning. Service seemed overwhelmed and a bit disorganized. Quality 1A. Authentic Italian shop! Can be recommended! Appetizer platter 10/10 You could get a lot more out of it with little effort 😇🫡👍🏽

Super delicious original Italian food, we were able to sit on the terrace in the evening sun. A little Italian vacation from everyday life, highly recommended, everything freshly prepared.

Pasta, pinsa and tiramisu were extremely tasty.

We visited this place with my gf, and after being seated, our orders were taken by the waitress. However, we noticed a man in the background who seemed very disappointed, commenting, “Only one drink for two people?” When our food arrived, we realized it was covered in Parmesan cheese, which we didn’t like. ( in general we don't eat Parmesan cheese and we don't like it.) We kindly requested a fresh dish without Parmesan, as the ingredients were not clearly listed on the menu — something we felt was reasonable to ask about. Unexpectedly, the owner approached us in an aggressive manner, yelling, “You must tell us if you don’t want Parmesan!” We tried explaining that the ingredient wasn’t listed on the menu. If Parmesan is optional, it should be mentioned under the dish details or asked about when ordering, especially since it has a strong flavor that can significantly affect the taste. At this point, we told him we’d like to pay for the drink and leave, as the owner’s behavior had ruined our experience. Yet, he continued yelling, saying things like, “You can’t leave without paying for the food!” and, “It’s a f*ing logic — if you don’t want Parmesan cheese, you have to tell us!” Instead of addressing the issue professionally, the owner suggested calling the police or forcing us to pay. Rather than apologizing or understanding the situation, he chose to escalate it unnecessarily. While the food itself looked appealing, we simply wanted it without Parmesan. A simple acknowledgment and solution, such as “We apologize for the misunderstanding; we’ll remake the dish without Parmesan or offer another solution professionally” would have resolved the issue. However I must say, Unfortunately, the owner’s behavior was unprofessional and disrespectful, and it soured our experience. I wouldn't recommend it.

Amazing Pistachio Cacio e Pepe pasta 🥰 I will definitely come back

Excellent food and even better service I recommend the cacio e pepe pasta with pistacchio

Pinsa, pasta and Tiramisu.. Everyone was the best👍👍👍 Pinsa's cream, cheese, sauce, and truffle oil all harmonized well and had the best taste. It was 100% perfect food! The pasta was also very delicious!! They say that they made the Tiramisu they eat for dessert. The best dessert! The cream had the best texture and softness, with a great amount of moisture in the middle and just the right amount of moisture at the bottom, and it was so perfect😳😳 I hope everyone living in Berlin tries it.👍👍👍

Recommend to reserve a table in advance :) Food was amazing, I loved the Pinsa very much and other pastas and dessert were perfect. I would love to visit again. It was the one of best restaurants in Berlin.

Relaxed atmosphere, very nice service with really tasty dishes and great ice cream there too. We would love to come back!

A piece of Rome in Berlin. Here you will find typical Roman cuisine, prepared by original Roman hands. Highly recommended!

Very good homemade pasta. Pinsa also good. It's a bit tight on the terrace.

Fantastic, cool, no frills Italian eatery service the most delicious pastas! 100% would recommend the special cacio e Pepe spaghetti with Burata and pistachios. The wild pork pasta was also incredible. * + We shared a pinsa to start - 🔝 Loved the atmosphere, staff were exceptionally lovely and the food was not over priced. Really 10/10.

Amazing place! Best pasta in Berlin - really recommend Wildschwein, Ossobuco, Truffle mushrooms or Burrata-Pistachio pasta! And leave a space for Tiramisu - it is sooooo good!

We ordered 4 types of pasta and they were all amazing!

The ice cream was delicious but the portions were very small. I asked to make larger balls and not half balls as that costs €2.50! The girl could have simply replied "OK" since she was a child, but instead she replied that we were not in Italy. I don't think you'll sell many ice cream flavors with this attitude.

Great service & tasteful, authentic Italian pasta, tiramisu, and coffee! Recommended!

Simple Italian location with very good homemade food, very nice people...highly recommended.

Super tasty pinsa and pasta at fair prices!! Also nice atmosphere and fast service :)

Thank you for taking us back to Italy. We missed authentic Italian food in Berlin. If you are looking for real carbonara or Tiramisu then Ripieno is the right place to dine and enjoy. Grazie mille

Great & tasty, simple authentic Italian food with fun staff & cool atmosphere in a very nice area of Berlin.

I never eat in Italian restaurants abroad, but when traveling with children the situation changes... we visited the Tempelhofer Feld and Viktoriapark and found this restaurant in the area, and luckily! We ate well, paid the right price and the place is quiet. If I really have to find one thing that wasn't perfect, it's that the tagliatelle were a little stuck to each other but the sauce with meatballs was delicious, ditto the cacio e pepe. When we return to Berlin we will definitely return!

amazing dining experience, beautiful place to sit outside, cramped in a fun way

Very nice restaurant, great service and reasonable prices

First courses and Roman tongs of the highest quality, excellent raw materials, excellent service too, I will definitely return....

The place itself had a nice atmosphere, but there was far too long a wait and arrogance on the part of the manager (+ wrong food for one of us). Despite our experience, the manager charged the full amount while being indifferent/flabby.

As an Italian, I am of course biased. The espresso is great. I had cooked and prepared Bolognese with thick meatballs and tiramisu all myself. The service is typically Italian, rough but warm. Highly recommended. The location is nice and quiet. Will come back more often.

Food was ok. My gocci were a bit too soft for me. The cheese wasn't really gratinated and the tomato sauce was nothing exceptional. Service was good, location is nice. Give the whole thing a 6.5/10

6/5. So good! Can’t wait to come back.

Pretty good noodles, but it doesn't blow your mind. Service is always a bit haphazard

Even after the move, a great restaurant - typical Italian taste, great service and very fair prices. Recommendation: reserve a table

Food was nice. Service and atmosphere were chaotic. We booked a table for 6:30 and by 7:00 the waiter was already hurrying us to order the main dish because the next booking for that table was at 8:00. The terrace is very packed some tables should be removed. Since everything was so messy they charged us more than what we ordered and we had to get a refund for the extra drinks they charged us

I went there with my colleagues for a team dinner, we were 13 people, and the food was delicious, i was quite disappointed that they ran out of Ragu and meatballs pasta, so ended up with Clara pizza and Pasta with beef in red wine both were perfectly flavoured, and the textures were spot on. By far the best pasta I've had in years. The staff are friendly to the point you feel like part of the family - thank you for the great service and food

Soo delicious pasta and pinsa. Best Tiramisu!! And very nice and funny owner

Delicious pesto pasta! Wonderful pistachio cheesecake, one of the best I've ever tasted. We were with 2 children and the service was very kind. Good price too.

Pasta was very good. Service was friendly but the starters came at the same time as the main courses.

Amazing food and great outdoor area. The Service is a little bit chaotic. But the food is delicious and the price is fair. Make sure to have a reservation.

Top pasta, very nicely located shop!

Food is actually always good; but everything is too crowded and narrow; Even with a reservation you have to wait because nothing is well organized. Staff tried very hard, the boss was quite annoying.

Great food, sometimes a bit chaotic, but it just does it automatically. The food is convincing and in my opinion some of the best pasta in Berlin

Unfortunately my gnocchi were overcooked to mush and the Bolognese was also everything but not Home Made Italia. Water was served warm...they had forgotten to put it in the fridge...Ice cubes had to make it bearable...after all...it was 30 degrees, we ordered an iced coffee...brrr...it was one Sweet mush of vanilla ice cream, possibly a drop of espresso, probably cream and...or milk... just disgusting. The beer sets are so narrow that standing up or sitting down is very difficult. The D toilet is more of a storage room... hand truck... miscellaneous... no, I definitely can't recommend this restaurant.

Bombastically good! Top food, friendly service and such a cool location to end the week with a Campari Spritz and get in the weekend/holiday mood straight away. Class! Bravi Federica and Vincenzo!

The Pinsa is very good, but the wine is only mediocre and overpriced. Especially because they seem to pour the glasses based on how they feel. I've experienced this several times now, but the full price is still charged - by the boss himself, who then ignores every comment. I find the way he reacts to criticism very cheeky and arrogant. The service staff, on the other hand, are attentive and friendly.

Top quality/price. I love coming to Ripieno, great food and a welcoming environment, the new location is beautiful!

really liked this place, the outside deck is so nice

Nice, tasty, simple. Perfect place for family lunch on the weekend or meeting friends for pasta and aperol. Love it ❤️

Best pizza and tiramisu in Berlin! The people working there are fantastic.

Small Italian restaurant that was extremely busy on a Tuesday evening. Ambience is calm and nice, service is very friendly and accommodating, although there is a little waiting time involved. The bruschette (with tomatoes, eggplant, mushrooms and pickled cucumber on dark bread) and the Pinsa Romana Lidia (including eggplant, burata, rocket) were all delicious, only the Negroni wasn't quite right. The Ripieno will definitely be visited again.

Never had such delicious raspberry ice cream before. Location is great, especially in summer, great view and nice staff

Small restaurant in a large red apartment block. Terrace over train tracks. Average food with surprises: two identical orders resulted in two different pasta dishes. Ravioli with butter and sage came without butter and sage. at least, the ravioli were there and okay 👍 Service mixed: a nice young man, a grumpy young woman. Final score: 1:1. Overall: nothing to write home about

Great Italian food!! Pinsa and noodles are fantastic and very inexpensive for current standards!! The shop is new, so give them some time to get used to it - I want them to stay!!

Small restaurant with a hip flair and authentic cuisine. The food is very tasty, stands out from the "normal" Italians, ideal for people who are looking for something special (although sometimes not seasoned enough). The prices are very fair. Some days the team is overwhelmed, sometimes you get your food after 5 minutes, sometimes after 50 minutes. The atmosphere is very nice, especially on the terrace, but the stools and benches are more for the young crowd. Reservation is recommended (and that works well). Food: 4, price-performance: 4, service: 2, ambience: 4 --> 3

The meal was delicious! Unfortunately it was packed, which wouldn't have been a big deal if it hadn't turned out that tables were obviously booked twice (in the case of our next table) or, as with us, every three quarters of an hour, which is really short. The service was nice, but chaotic and because of the chaos and the many people waiting, we didn't really feel comfortable. It's a shame, because as I said, the food was delicious.

Awesome place! Food is great and ice cream is the best in town in my opinion! They are very busy and this makes the place a bit chaotic, but if you are not in a rush and want to enjoy sun, food and drinks it will not bother you.

Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the restaurant experience. I was advertised as a somewhat chaotic restaurant with phenomenal food, but instead I had very average pasta and terrible service. Everything was hectic and disorganized, after our food came it took 10 minutes to get the cutlery and the five of us had to share glasses that were only partially cleaned because there apparently weren't any more. Something has obviously been overdone here, the two completely rotating service staff did their best, but without a system two people can't serve so many people.

Simply the best PINSA ever for me Thank you

Not a fancy place but definitely one of the best eatery for Pinsa and pasta in Berlin. Please reserve a table , as its usually fully packed . I tried pinsa clara and simply blown away buy the goodness of its ingredients. However the pistachio pesto cacio e pepe pasta came in smaller quantity for the price. Usually we are used to bigger portions of pasta in Berlin , filling enough for an average adult appetite. The tiramisu and Hot chocolate (try it) deserves recommendation. Edit : we visited second time for a weekend lunch and it was the most chaotic experience for us in Berlin , not in a good way. It was a total chaos at noon , it was so difficult to grab staff's attention to order and the food took forever to come. The coffee was not served hot , the entire house from staff to the guests( kids and families) were extremely noisy to the point we wanted to leave right after the first round of order. The pasta Coda and ossobucco were not very cheap for the quality of meat in them. So my tip would be to avoid visiting this place in peak hours.

Pasta was really disappointing, no taste at all, owner and atmosphere not nice, only go here if you want to sit on the terrace for a drink

Disappointing all around. Carbonara without bacon, truffle/mushroom pasta without flavor (€11.50 each). The ambience is not nice at all except for the long sun there. The boss is dubious, disorganized and slow, you wait to come in and pay. You don't feel welcome.

The first thing that caught my eyes was its vibe! For an hour I felt we're in Italy. Owners were Italian with strong accent and even people there were also warm and hype! I liked it in general. The food was acceptable maybe was not my best Italian experience but still was good. The only average point was the service. There were just two owners who were handling orders and many customers so we had to wait a lot just to order or receive check.

Tea was very tasty 🤤 They forgot our second order and seemed to get lost with other orders. Not very organized. I'll definitely go there again and recommend it.

Local Italian, fresh pasta dishes, great wine, generous pinza, Kreuzberg vibes.

For me, the restaurant has unfortunately lost its magic with the move. With a large group the service didn't really work, you had to keep going to the front to even get anyone's attention, it was incredibly crowded and very busy. The food is still great.

Wonderful place, inside and especially outside you can sit very nicely and have a great view. The food is delicious and the service is very friendly.

This is my favorite place in Berlin to eat pasta. The owner is super attentive and familiar. They have a tiramisu from another galaxy. The bad thing is that they close soon

pizza and pasta❤️! Espresso wow also! Beautiful place made by amazing people!

Good food, REALLY BAD service. If you want to have a nice time, do NOT go to this place. Unfortunately the atmosphere is very toxic towards their employees. We felt sorry for the waitresses, too much yelling, they looked nervous and frustrated.

Food quite good, but unfortunately only cash payment possible. Unacceptable in 2024.

Very cozy and authentic little Italian restaurant. We had the most amazing pistachio pasta here!

The best Italian spot! The truffle pasta is a must!! Thank you Vincenzo

​The food is very good, but the atmosphere and service in the new location is so bad, it is hard to enjoy it. -It is hot, loud and there is not enough fresh air. -The staff is completely overwhelmed. -There are too many tables crammed in the small space. -If you are seated at a table with the low stools, there is nowhere to put your coat. You have to fold it up and sit on it or place it on your lap. As mentioned above, it is really hot, so add your sweater to that pile.

Dirty cutlery, uncoordinated forgetful service, smell of cooking gas, very noisy atmosphere

A bit pricy for the amount of food. The owner screams a lot to the personnel and the environment of the place becomes tense. I did not like it at all.

What can I say? More than just tasting a simple pasta, it was like being actually in Italy. The personnel was kind in explaining all of the dishes, even if often is croudy. One of my favorite restaurant to go, Vincenzo is the best example of the Italian: extravagant and welcoming. Go there!!

0 stars. We ordered two flatbreads. Mine never arrived while they continued to bring orders to the various tables and assured it would come. I ordered a glass of wine and the glass wasn’t clean with debris stuck in the inside. We paid for what we had including the wine and as we were leaving we were accused of not paying.

Came with the expectation of being served “the best pasta in Berlin” (Berliner Zeitung). In fact, she wasn't even average. And everything took an incredibly long time. Even the water. Service fluctuated between ignoring and intrusive. No thanks, not again.

A disappointing experience. The best thing was the salad, which was very salty and too oily. The bread we ordered came when the salad had already been eaten. Every order took an incredibly long time, even the water, even though the store was almost empty. I was ignored for long stretches, and when I paid I had to wait 10 minutes until the boss acknowledged me because he was blatantly using three private chats. The Pinsa Margerita was boring, there was no basil on it, but large mozzarella flatbreads that were barely melted. The pasta wasn't al dente but hard, the sauce contained canned mushrooms and canned tomatoes and wasn't even warmed through. The boss was aggressive (no, Italians aren't allowed to touch everyone either!) and the cook was in a very bad mood. However, it was nice to sit there and look out. But that's not enough, sorry.
