Ristorante Marco Polo Due in Berlin

The food in this restaurant was really good - the dishes looked very appetizing and tasted impressive. Unfortunately, the positive impressions end there. The staff was disorganized, rude and visibly annoyed. Long waiting times to take orders and get drinks and food gave the feeling of being unwelcome. The menu was overloaded, which some may perceive as diversity, but also raises doubts about the quality. In addition, the prices are disproportionately high for the conditions offered. Another negative point was that card payments were not possible.

I have been visiting this restaurant for many years, but on December 25th, 2024 this was about to change. I wanted to spend a cozy time with my family on Christmas Day, but we started to have to wait quite a while for our long-reserved table. We finally got a seat and realized that this restaurant was completely overcrowded. There was hardly any space and you were almost sitting on your neighbor's lap. The menu was changed for Christmas which was neither visible online nor was we informed about it by phone. So you couldn't order what you would have liked to eat. The food arrived within 20 minutes. Which was pretty quick, now we knew why! As soon as we had eaten we were made aware that a queue had already formed in front of the restaurant and that they needed tables. Well, that's what I think below all else. In my opinion, that evening was all about earning as much as possible. I will then no longer visit this restaurant because I don't support something like that. Really a shame.

We had reserved a table for December 25th, 2024 so far so good. Our table wasn't available at all, even though we had reserved it for a long time. Our entire family and grandparents were given a table that was probably reserved for others and then another table was taken away so that it would fit. So nothing reserved and everything was super cramped where you couldn't feel comfortable. The food menu was rapidly reduced so you couldn't order what you actually like to eat. It could have been mentioned online. The food ordered came quickly and then the hardness came when eating. We said loudly and clearly to several guests that we needed tables and then the first guests left. We've already been looked at, so nothing to do with just being together and enjoying ourselves. People were already lining up outside, waiting for the others to be processed. For me it was the last time I went out to eat there. It struck me as just making a quick buck and bye-bye to the next request. They'll never get any money from me again

To celebrate our Christmas with the family, we decided to visit Marco Polo. Due to the long wait for a table due to organizational difficulties, the situation was a bit tense. When we were shown to our table we were only presented with a limited choice of dishes. The staff had told us that this was the holiday menu, but this menu was not disclosed on the website or during the phone call to reserve a table. I think it's a shame that we had to leave after less than 90 minutes because there were no tables available for the new guests.

Too little choice on the Christmas menu

All nice service and service as well as the food

The staff was extremely welcoming and attentive. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, almost like a family environment. The food was excellently prepared – fresh, tasteful and beautifully presented. My friends and I were completely satisfied. Thank you for the excellent service. Absolutely deserved 5 stars!

The food was really excellent, a big compliment to the chef – we all really enjoyed it! Unfortunately, the positive impression was greatly marred by the service. Our waiter was unprofessional and rude. It is completely unacceptable to have to listen to him lecture me just because we had a reservation for 8-12 people and then 8 people showed up. The fact that extra tables were available shouldn't have been a problem, but the way it was handled was simply inappropriate. Instead of finding a solution or communicating in a friendly manner, nothing was done. It's a shame, because the food definitely deserved a better overall impression!

A beautiful restaurant, very familiar. Food was super tasty, nothing to complain about. Keep it up, I'll be happy to come back.😄

The food is always delicious and it tastes great. Recommended for everyone. Staff polite, friendly. Deserves more than one star

Very chic but nothing Italian. The steak was not cooked to perfection at all, even the parmesan was poorly grated. I ate Italian in Germany but not as bad sorry

So cute! I let myself in 30 minutes before opening because I urgently had to make a phone call for work! Delicious coffee! And there was a good breakfast too!

It was very pleasant there, the staff was very friendly and the food was excellent!! I can only recommend the chicken schnitzel. Very tasty 👍👍

Great Italian in the residential area... It's been around forever and that's a good sign. I like to go there when I'm in Berlin. You can almost always get a seat without a reservation (the restaurant is big!). The service is friendly and quick and the food is delicious. The meat dishes made from lava stone are also recommended.

Unfortunately a bit lost in the food, but the service is very good

Everything was perfect, highly recommended.

The Perfect Pizza Spot for Families!!! Whenever I want pizza, this is the only place I go—and I always bring my kids along! They absolutely love it here. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff is incredibly friendly, making the experience even better for families. The pizza selection is fantastic, with plenty of options to choose from. We’ve tried several different pizzas, and every single one has been delicious. No matter what you pick, you can’t go wrong here. One detail I really appreciate is the olive oil on every table. I love drizzling it over my pizza—it’s the perfect finishing touch! If you’re looking for a family-friendly Italian restaurant with amazing pizza, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

We had the pasta (homemade tagliatelle) with lots of salmon and shrimp. It was really good, like almost always. And cheerful staff.

Like every time, it was just great! Great service, great quality and also a great ambience

Today we had another pensioner meeting in the restaurant and, as always, the service was very pleasant. The menu is clear and the price-performance ratio is right. The dishes are delicious and enjoyable. The location is recommended.

The food is very tasty and the portion is sufficient. Unfortunately, contactless payments are not permanently possible. There will therefore be no further visit.

2024 no comparison to 2021, good food and nice service. So much improved, I'll keep watching... 2021 No card payment, long waiting, unmotivated service, cheap cola (Coca Cola glasses), cold plates, steaks for 3 people burnt / charred on the underside *type of house*, underground complaint behavior at a price of €32.90

Eat delicious food Friendly service

5 stars and a big kiss... the food was outstanding, service couldn't be better... the prices are absolutely reasonable... if you look around in the supermarkets. All around, a great evening. Very welcome, again at any time.

For German Unity Day, I simply treated myself to a quick Pizza Tonno to go at the Italian restaurant Marco Polo Due and wanted to test the quality of the pizza and the pick-up service from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. for myself. I was warmly welcomed by the waiter Toni, who immediately took my order. After waiting 10 minutes, the pizza was ready. How did this taste? Very good, based on the Italian model. Tomato sauce, cheese, tuna and red onions in sufficient quantities. The base is thin and very crispy, with the final whistle I'm blown away. It was a very good Pizza Tono in terms of taste, quantity and appearance. Thanks to the pizza maker Toni. The price-performance ratio is really great. A real recommendation for just 12.50 euros, including a relaxed atmosphere and professional, attentive and courteous service.

The food at Marco Polo Restaurant is simply fantastic! The pasta is always fresh and perfectly al dente, with delicious sauces that simply impress in terms of taste. The homemade pizza is particularly recommended – crispy base, aromatic ingredients and just the right amount of cheese. You can taste the love and quality that goes into every dish. A true Italian taste experience that I can only recommend to everyone. In addition, the service is very friendly and attentive, which makes the visit even more pleasant. Another big compliment to the waiter Hady, you're doing a great job! I'll definitely be back!

The food at Marco Polo is really amazing! The Spaghetti Aglio e Olio is super tasty – beautifully spicy, perfectly cooked and just the right amount of garlic. And the Pizzatono? Simply brilliant! The dough is nice and crispy, the topping is fresh and the tuna fits perfectly. You can really tell that attention is paid to quality here. Plus really nice and fast service – what more could you want? Definitely five stars for me!

Ich habe mir zum heutigen Tag der deutschen Einheit beim Italienischen Restaurant Marco Polo Due einfach auf die Schnelle eine Pizza Tonno to go gegönnt und wollten die Qualität der Pizza und den Abholservice von 11.30 - 21 Uhr selbst testen. Ich wurde vom Kellner Toni sehr herzlich empfangen, der dann auch gleich meine Bestellung entgegen nahm. Nach 10 Minuten warten, war die Pizza auch schon fertig. Wie war diese geschmacklich? Sehr gut, nach italienischem Vorbild. Tomatensauce, Käse, Thunfisch und rote Zwiebeln in ausreichender Menge. Der Boden dünn und sehr knusprig, mit dem letzten Pfiff zum boah ich bin geflasht. Es war eine geschmacklich- mengenmässig- und optisch sehr gute Pizza Tono. Danke an den Pizzabäcker Toni. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist echt top. Für schmale 12.50 Euro eine echte Empfehlung, inclusive entspannter Atmosphäre und professionellem aufmerksamen und zuvorkommenden Service.

This Italian is our regular restaurant. There is nothing wrong with the food. Price performance is very good. There's nothing wrong with the service either. A big recommendation from us!!! And the glazed veranda is a great place to sit in any weather.

I don't know how they do it. But it tastes great every time, no matter what you use. Simply delicious!

Kellner Toni Empfang uns sehr herzlich und machte unseren Aufenthalt unvergesslich. Mit Witz, Charme und perfektem Service unterhielt er uns. Vielen Dank dafür. Essen war klasse. Egal ob Optik,Geschmack oder Menge. Wir kommen auf jedenfall wieder. Familie Otte

It was okay. Food was very good.

So today I spontaneously went there for lunch with 2 kids. There were hardly any visitors there and the kids were pretty hungry. First we waited until we received the menu card. It was around the corner, so we picked it up ourselves. When we noticed that we were being pointedly ignored by the waitress, we simply left. What was that?... or are kids not welcome at lunch in this "restaurant"? Or assume that you don't have to expect that much money + tips?... By the way, this is not a 4-5 star restaurant... Definitely the last time... it doesn't have to be and there are definitely better restaurants with better food. Apparently the restaurant doesn't care about the satisfaction of all guests. According to the motto "Oh no matter, we get enough visitors anyway. It's just a shame... I'll always give a lot of tips))) oh dear... as an emergency solution we went to PizzaLovers around the corner (it tasted pretty good, by the way).

Very tasty food at a moderate price. Always friendly service.

Good food, large portions, very tasteful, nice atmosphere

So first the positive: The food was really convincing. It was well seasoned and the portions were big enough. Only the prices are a bit very high. But that was it again for the positive. First it was forbidden to sit outside, even though we made reservations two months in advance. When I asked why, I was told that I should have registered it in advance. In my opinion, it is logical that in the height of summer, especially with such a large outdoor area, you would want to have a table outside. The waiter generally pushed us very hard and gave the feeling that he wanted us to leave as quickly as possible. In addition, due to high customer demand, we were only given a reduced menu. This meant we didn't have the opportunity to order classic dishes like spaghetti bolognese or carbonara. There is a deduction in the ambience, as there was a very large spider hanging directly above our table (it was significantly larger in real life than in the picture).

Super tasty, funny waiters and great value for money!

Very tasty Italian dishes, a wide selection of drinks 🥛☕️🍷🍸🍹🍺🥂🥃. An extra compliment to everyone, you are a super nice, very well-organized, well-rehearsed and cool men's "Marco Polo" team, you pay a lot of attention to customer requests and here you feel like "customer is king 👑 ". Nice ambience, which also invites you to various celebrations 🎉🎊 or romantic just for two. Payment methods Cash, because only cash is real!

Food was quite good. Had the rump steak and the penne arrabiata with extra chicken. Minestrone as a starter. You have to season it here. Otherwise everything is ok.

Right in the middle of what's happening and still. Away in a quiet atmosphere. Spend a pleasant time with good food and drink. Nice staff ensures a pleasant stay

We haven't eaten so deliciously in a long time! All dishes were hot, delicious, aesthetically presented and the price-performance ratio was right! The waiter was extremely friendly, especially to our little daughter. From the drinks to the starters and main courses to the desserts, every order came quickly and without errors. We'll definitely be back! You have to remember that you can only pay with cash. But if necessary, there is a savings bank next door ;)

Extremely good food, impeccable service, lovely atmosphere, highly recommended!

Super tasty, beautiful location. We'll be back.

We had dinner there yesterday. Everything was perfect. Very tasty food, friendly and courteous service.

Food is always great. Nice personel. And thanks to the renovation (covered terrace) you can now always sit outside. It was another nice evening today.

I only drank coffee. In a calm neighborhood. Service friendly and quick.

Eat good. Very friendly. Always good! Thanks to the team!

Great service, great cool service

Very good pasta meal, well prepared. Very nice waiter who offered us coffee. We will come back.

Absolute plus: team! Please look at the prices. We are in Lichtenberg. Bruschetta €10.50? They used to be free with every meal. And 3 years ago 6 pieces cost €5.90. It's not Elector Saefkow Platz ;)…

We managed to reserve a table for two people at short notice. It was very pleasant there. The food was excellent. Bruschetta was super delicious, handmade dumplings with porcini mushrooms, beef fillet tips in Gorgonzola sauce were very tasty. I can really recommend it.

Super delicious food, one of the best pasta dishes I've ever eaten and very nice and friendly staff, I can really recommend it to everyone.

Good Italian with friendly service.

You can eat very well here, the service is friendly and attentive. We'd love to come back.

The food was very good, a very attentive waiter, everything was very good 😃😃

Very nice restaurant and delicious food. Service very, very friendly.

Nice service. Normal wait for services. Acceptable prices for the quantities.

Has really improved significantly from the last time! Service was great and the food was much better. 100% goodbye. Thank you for your hospitality.

The service is very unfriendly and rude!!! We ate here with 6 people. The pizza was completely burnt on the bottom and therefore tasted bitter. When we finally paid, the waiter argued with us and became very loud and insulted us. We've never experienced anything like this before. Customer service was absolutely subpar and the food was even better. As former regular customers, we will definitely never come here again!!!

We were here with 8 teenagers and ordered pizza. It was very tasty, so we reordered several times. The waiter was very nice and served us quickly. We remained satisfied! So recommend!

A complete feeling of well-being in all situations. The food is sufficiently large for the price and if something is not right, a solution will be sought as quickly as possible

Good food, but somehow doesn't really feel like an authentic Italian restaurant. The service is friendly. Only cash payments.

The indication that cash payments only could be made a little earlier, for example with a corresponding symbol on the entrance door. It is certainly bad for the good mood of the beautiful evening if a trip to the ATM is then required. But otherwise everything was fine. The food was great, the waiters were nice and accommodating, the music was Italian, which is something we always value. Always happy.

Incredibly fresh, delicious food. The chefs know what they are doing. The halibut is a poem, the garlic soup is a dream. The only thing I think is bad about this restaurant is that some of the waiters seem rude at times. Otherwise, a clear recommendation.

Super nice service team that took good care of everything. Food was great. There is also a vegetarian selection. Prices are perfectly fine.

Went there recently…and will leave it at that. Service started well, then quickly deteriorated. Food was ok. The invoice was brought in full. Separate payment was planned. No card payment...that's clear...and no, that's not common in Berlin. We were allowed to choose the bouncer liqueurs, but they were not brought to us. Because of my upbringing, there were still tips. But there is no recommendation.

Bad service, waiter simply forgot about our table

The food was OK, good is something else, unfortunately the chicken breast was very dry. However, an absolute no-go for me is that no card is accepted, only cash payment. And that doesn't work at all, which means that we won't be able to stop there again.

We ordered starters and drinks to begin with, told the waiter that we will order main course later. After we finished with the starter, no one came to us to get the order or clean the table. We waited for 20 mins, no eye contact, total ignorance, regular guests are more important then new ones. No card payment. Weak service and bad experience, better find another place for dinner.

TLDR: Good store, although still without card payment. Price wise. The service was very helpful, quick, friendly and fulfilled all of our wishes, even though it was really full. The food was also good, although unfortunately the steak was not medium rare as ordered but rather medium rare. To be fair: It's an Italian restaurant and not a steakhouse. The pizzas were excellent. There was also a bit of salt missing everywhere, but this can quickly be remedied at the table. Fries, grilled vegetables, bruschetta and dessert but all first class. So always happy.

Very tasty food, I had the fish soup and an asparagus pizza, the wine with strawberries was also very tasty. The food came quickly and relatively simultaneously for our group of 13 people. The staff was friendly and joking. The star deduction only occurs because card payment is not possible. However, there is a savings bank almost right next door, but not everyone is a Spatkasse customer and I don't even know whether they are in a Cadhpool.

No Italian staff. Sometimes cheeky and bold. Will be deleted!

Very nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff. The food was very, very tasty and the prices were completely reasonable.

Came on a Wednesday and they were completely overwhelmed, even though you called ahead. We sat in the glass box and it was cold and barely heated. The waitress discussed that card payments wouldn't make sense and that you can only pay in cash everywhere in Berlin. Food was good but we waited an incredibly long time. Price performance is quite good.

An Italian with a winter garden that can be turned into a patio in the summer. Classic food offering. I ate spaghetti with aiol and the chef's risotto as the main course. Risotto could have been a little messier. Otherwise a funny waiter and a successful dinner. It's sure to be busy in summer, so make a reservation.

Casserole drowned in oil, the Margherita pizza only consisted of cheese which I didn't like!

Cozy, good service, recommended

+ Große Portionen, sehr lecker, Wochenangebote, Preis-Leistung sehr gut - sehr laute Italo-Musik-Beschallung, Ambiente durchschnittlich

I recommend it 100%. A wonderful restaurant. The food is delicious. Served beautifully.

Very nice service. Nice facility. Gladly again.

rustic restaurant with an Italian flair.

Sometimes you eat like that, sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse. I've eaten there many times and the staff has never been really friendly, but this time it was ridiculous. I was eating with 3 people and we had to pay €71.80. The person who invited us said 72€ so rounded it up, which made the waiter very angry and said that it was an insult to him and what he should do with 20 cents. There were also other comments like that next time there will be no amaretto and that you should tip between 10 and 15 percent of the price of the meal. In the end we left our drinks and the 4 amarettos and left after paying. Shameless to beg for a tip like that.

Nice restaurant, nice waiters, good food.

The food was very good and the service was always very nice and accommodating despite the many guests. We would be happy to come back

It was very good and if we are in the area again we would like to come back.

Very unfriendly staff, bad place, slow service unfortunately!

We were there as a group and it was very nice. Food delicious, service top.

Everything was great and without any complaints

The food was very good, the service couldn't have been better. We had a very nice evening.

Price-performance ratio is good here. Good food at a reasonable price. I can recommend the bruschetta.

We ate there with 10 people. The service staff was very nice. Everyone enjoyed the food. All in all, a nice cozy restaurant.

I am writing this review as a chef and restaurateur. We went to Marco Polo Due for a family celebration in November 2023. I chose the duck breast from the Christmas menu. Unfortunately I have to say that I ate the worst duck breast in my entire life here. And I am over 50 years old. The meat had no consistency at all and fell apart into fibers like a stew. The duck was probably frozen and overcooked beyond recognition in the microwave. Unfortunately, the side dishes didn't improve the dish either, because everything is convenience/pre-made and nothing, nothing at all, is freshly cooked. If it had at least tasted good, I would have said, well, good, but unfortunately not even that! What should you think of an operator who handles food in such a grossly negligent manner? I am at a loss for words!

I was thrilled... and will definitely come back with my family...

Super delicious food, very friendly service. Only recommended! Addendum: Prices very good. Unfortunately only cash payment, but the savings bank is next door.

It's solid... Service is really great, you can't say anything about it but unfortunately the food isn't that convincing!!! Unfortunately, spaghetti tasted like broth after the soup was finished and the salad with half an egg and a kg of cheese wasn't particularly tasty either...

Pizza,,Teig schwarz unten,,,oben glietschig ansonsten okay

Der Wein und das Essen entsprechen meinem Geschmack sehr. Jeder der mit mir bis jetzt dort war, war ebenfalls sehr zufrieden. Die Bedienungen habe alle ihren gewiesen Charm sind aber steht's professionell.

The pizza today was AWESOME!!! So juicy, so much cheese... I'd love to come back there sometime.

Grosse Portionen,sehr lockere und entspannte Kellner , hilfsbereit! 1ARestaurant sehr zu empfehlen !!!!

Essen sehr gut, Ambiente mittelmäßig da überfüllt
