Sisal in Berlin

Don’t waste your time. Sat down at 6.30 got food at 9. almost 3h wait. Food was mediocre at best, not worth the wait. Really a shame since it was birthday celebration. Only good thing was tiramisu. Bad place.

Very well eaten in an absolutely pleasant atmosphere with nice operators. Prices Nothing to complain about. 100% recommendation

Very nice food & great service.

They had very good service. I liked it very much and the food was very delicious, that was a 5 star! I recommend coming here instead of other restaurants. Best restaurant in Berlin!

The food was once again fantastic. Very nice staff.

We came based on a recommendation and it was simply great the service was great Mega delicious food Nice atmosphere You can sit inside and outside Always happy to come back when we come to Berlin

Very tasty and super nice service!!!

As someone who has worked there, I am providing you with an insider’s perspective. The hygiene practices in this establishment are highly questionable. For instance, food is checked by dipping fingers into it. The pasta, which should be freshly cooked upon order, is actually prepared in bulk long in advance and left sitting for hours. Boiled pasta is cooled on a dirty countertop before being served later. Employees are explicitly instructed not to let customers see this process. A single cloth is used to clean everything—the countertop, cabinets, cutting boards, and even the workers’ hands. There are no dedicated utensils or separate preparation areas for vegetarian or vegan meals. Instead of replacing the metal food containers each evening, they simply wipe the lids and use the same cloth to “clean” them. The containers themselves are never properly washed or changed. Dropping food on the floor is not considered a problem here—it is simply put back on the plate and served. I am not sure if all food establishments operate this way, but after witnessing these practices firsthand, I no longer feel comfortable eating out. The owner is an appalling individual who exploits his workers under harsh conditions, only to fire them after a short period. He constantly yells at employees over trivial matters. The only worker who remains is an Afghan refugee, who doesn’t work there by choice but out of sheer necessity. It is heartbreaking to witness such treatment in what is supposed to be a civilized society. Adding to the absurdity, the owner—who does not even speak his native language (Turkish) properly—walks around pretending to be “Italian,” throwing in random Italian words like bella to fit the so-called theme of an “Italian” restaurant. However, the way he operates the business is completely devoid of ethics and professionalism. Customers should also be aware that employees are instructed to leave fake positive reviews on Google and respond to negative feedback with misleading comments. I have done my duty by sharing this information. Complaints will be filed with the relevant authorities, supported by photographic evidence. While you may believe you are dining in Europe, in reality, you are paying for a standard of hygiene that belongs elsewhere. Your health and judgment are in your own hands.

Family atmosphere, warm owners, super tasty carbonara and mussel soup. Definitely recommended!

Good and fresh food and very nice people.

Delicious food. Fresh, fast and with a good selection. Highly recommended!

When you come in you see a very nice atmosphere and it smells of very tasty food, nice music. The wine is delicious 🍷. The food is fabulous. There is a wide selection of 🍕pizza, 🍝 pasta, 🐟 fish, 🦐 shrimp, 🥗 salads, 🍚 rice dishes, 🍗 chicken, 🥩 stake, truffle dishes, 🍮 dessert... and more. I ordered veal liver with potato, it was very soft. The dessert “Panna Cotta” was very tender. The staff is very friendly. The food is delicious, the chef cooks very well. I definitely recommend visiting this restaurant.

This place so was so cozy, and good quality food. We had a pasta and pizza and both were amazing. They were very welcoming and attentive.

Dursun brother Esengül's pizzas, desserts, presentations and especially their conversations are wonderful. If you come to Berlin, do not pass by here. It is in the heart of Mitte. Don't say you don't eat salad, eat it. Specially ask for the magnificent salad with its wonderful sauces.

The food tastes homemade and is very tasty. We had the bruschetta, salmon, and truffle risotto which were all great. The music and atmosphere are nice as well. Pretty solid Italian restaurant overall.

Great food and ambience. Here we cook with heart!

The three of us had sisal dinner twice and it was again outstanding. Pasta, pizza, fish - it doesn't matter, it was great! Cuisine, service and ambience were top notch! Keep it up!

Truffle pasta to fall in love with! And with Gianna Nannini in your ear, a real Italian al dente and delicioso experience. :-)

waiting time 1h for a pizzaa.. not clean not nice

Un pequeño lugar auténtico, con comida y bebida a un precio razonable, anfitriones encantadores y muy amables. La comida era abundante y sabrosa, vale la pena una visita.

Good pizza and cheap... Friendly staff... What more could you want? 👍👍👍

Great food, great service, great prices. Really enjoyed the truffle pizza. We shared one and it came with a salad. Enjoyed a carafe of Pinot Grigio and a tiramisu dessert. Worth a visit!

Beautiful, individual Italian restaurant in Berlin Mitte with excellent food, friendly service and a very good selection. That's really rare with such a large selection. Depending on your space, you can also look into the kitchen, where everything is freshly prepared. Clear recommendation. Sisal

Very good restaurant with wonderful food, highly recommended. Pizza is fantastic and ambience is super nice. The waiter is super nice.

Tried to fight my friend. Very overpriced. Rude. Really bad food. lol.

We had a pleasant meal but when paying separately they kept on re-adding meals which we’d already paid for. They were very aggressive and it made for a very unpleasant experience.

The food was very tasty and the owner was really friendly and put a lot of effort into it. There is passion in the store!

Which says it all: I was there with an Italian and she wanted to go to Sisal again the next day..... The food is great.

Rarely have I had such delicious pizza 🥰

I ate yesterday at Sisal, which had a friendly welcome, and even though we arrived late, they served us, which is a very good point. The pasta was good, but I have never tasted such a bad tiramisu in my life; I wondered if it was old or just disgusting. When we got to the checkout, we found ourselves with three different prices: one from the menu, one from the display board, and one from the register, so it was quite special.

Perfect. Truffle pizza was delicious, as was the salad beforehand. Friendly, discreet service. Intimate Italian restaurant, nice seating outside. P/L is correct.

Gran comida y servicio, sería un local ‘ir a’ si viviéramos aquí. Sin duda merece la pena una visita y mientras estamos solo en Berlín por unos días más, vamos a mirar para volver.

Sweet local, very friendly staff, pizza & pasta were fantastic

Absolutely favorite Italian in Berlin! Excellent food, delicious wine and above all: very, very friendly staff. Perfectly located on a side street between Rosenthaler Platz and Weinmeisterstraße. You feel like you're in great hands in this cozy restaurant, which is why I won't go to any other Italian restaurant in Berlin. Recommendation: Penne Arrabiata with scampi and rosé wine ☺️👌🏻

We have reserved a table for dinner. It was very dark in the restaurant. Unfortunately one dish came wrong, which can happen, but the waiter's reaction was very rude with a "Don't you like that? Then we have to throw away the pizza". The pizza wasn't remade, just the toppings were replaced, which is why the pizza was unintentionally very spicy and tasted different than intended. We didn't receive the second round of drinks even after waiting at least 20 minutes. Unfortunately I cannot recommend the service at all.

My favorite truffle pasta restaurant! There are a lot of famous truffle places around here, but this one is the best. If you drink wine with truffle pasta outside here on a summer day, Intoxicated by the taste, intoxicated by the atmosphere, intoxicated by love I ate it yesterday and I want to eat it again They gave me a lot of truffles because I shouted mehr mehr It tastes like white truffle and is seasoned just right. Hehe, I'll come again! 🍄🍷

A great place. Not only the food but also the attention is great. If you're nearby, definitely stop by.

Amazing food and a cozy place perfect for dinner! The staff were really friendly and the service was fast.

The pizza was very good and the waiter was very friendly. I loved the environment

Super good food and super great staff

Very nice discovery really....everything there is atmosphere, cuisine and prices are correct for the most expensive Mitte district of Berlin...count 25 euros with espresso wine and of course a very well served Italian dish...

It was very nice service and the food tasted very good

The employees are really incredibly friendly and open. The food is also hard to beat in terms of price/performance ratio

We had dinner in Sisal today, the food was very tasty and the service was super friendly and professional. I can happily recommend you. Thank you Sisal for everything👍

Terrible service, they didn’t come to us until we caught the waiter. They forgot the order and came to check 20 minutes later, they brought the food for an hour

Welcoming place with delicious and affordable food in this area. The host and staff are super friendly and the guests are a mix of regulars and tourists. Thanks for that place!

Whenever we are in Berlin, a meal at Sisal is on the agenda. We are thrilled every time. Super fond of children.

Very good grappa Good service Food tastes great I can only recommend

Great team, my second home 😊 delicious and tasty food and lovingly prepared 🧡 LG Andrea

Very good Italian restaurant centrally located, salads and pasta were always very tasty, staff very friendly, fair prices. We have been here many times and would love to come back.

We were at Sisal on Friday. The food, the staff was awesome. You can't describe it with words. You should just go by and see for yourself. We will definitely visit again.

Very good food, excellent services, everything gives you a fine and familiar sensation. We came twice during our short visit in Berlin. But for sure we will come back. This place is a diamond among stupid restaurants in the area. Deserves to be your choice!

Sehr cooler Ort, leckeres Essen, angenehme Preise. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Mit Liebe gekocht .. der Gast als Freund und auf das Wiedersehen ausgerichtet. Ein authentisches Restaurant in Berlin Mitte, das nicht das schnelle Geschäft sucht .. ich liebe Euch :-)

Seit Jahren unverändert aber auch genau richtig so. Für mich persönlich ein Ort, an den ich immer wieder gerne zurückkehre. Danke für eure Gastfreundschaft. ❤️

Restaurant sieht sehr schön aus und der Salat und die Pizza sind sehr lecker.

Super freundlicher Service,Essen war super

Mittlerweile mein zweites Wohnzimmer. So ein herzliches familiäres Verhältnis wird selten irgendwo so schnell aufgebaut. Die Speisen sind fantastisch, definitiv auch große Portionen. Preis Leistung in dieser Ecke ist unschlagbar.

This is such a sweet place in Mitte! So authentic and calm. Also very affordable! The food is delicious, the portions big, the stuff friendly and happy. Thank you! :)

Not recommended. Never again. Very overpriced compared to quality. Nothing Italian here, except for some songs played while you eat. I ordered a steak, it was properly cooked but very low quality, extremely chewy, I went home with a sore jaw. The wine is regular (I saw only 5 options). I paid and they didn't give me my change untill I insisted for that. So rude!!!

The food was good and the service too!

Cosy place. Great food and service.

Leuk echt Italiaans restaurant. Verrassend lekker gegeten. Goede bediening. Mensen met hart op de goede plaats. Gastvrij.

Zeer vriendelijke en meedenkende ober. Relatief sfeerloos maar door de vrolijke ober en chef toch gezellig. Eten kwam snellen was prima.

Super leckere Trüffelpasta! Sehr weiterzuempfehlen:)

Den værste service, meget arrogant og flabet tjener, der ikke vil lade os betale med kort, og begyndte at råbe af os i restauranten

Food was okay, but not more. Nothing to remember. The salad was already covered by a mixed dressing, instead of serving it blank with oil & vinegar by the side. I had not been asked if I wanted any dressing or which type. The pasta was okay. The restaurant was extremely dark inside. To be fair: I probably went there right between lunch time and the evening, so they had to get prepared for the evening.

Dobry kucharz i Dobre jedzenie no i dobry kelner.Polecam

Nice and cosy place for a lovely evening, pizzas are very tasty and staff is really kind.

Servus nette Service und lecker Essen 👍👍👍

Rude service, probably okay food, but spend your money elsewhere in Mitte.

Me encantó la comida, nunca probé algo tan sabroso como lo qur comí acá. Precio, servicio y cantidad están perfectos.

Een echt familierestaurant. Heerlijk gegeten hier.

Sehr leckere Gerichte zu einem vernünftigen Preis. Der Service ist auch sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Wir sind sehr gerne im Sisal essen.

Bardzo dobre jedzonko i obsługa na piątkę

Really nice place, tasty food and nice service! Recommend this place!!! Brought a lot of people here to try it out already!

Kleines aber sehr leckeres und schönes Restaurant, mit sehr freundlichem Personal. Die Karte ist groß genug und jeder sollte es finden. Wir waren mit dem Essen sehr zufrieden. Kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. 😊👍👍👍👌

Cool place. Really love to be there in the middle of the day

vVry good restaurant with a lot of good food and a lot of choice. The staff who work at the restaurant were very nice and friendly, recommended for people

Sehr nette Mitarbeiter und sehr gute Essen

Das war sehr lecker Und ihr Abt, gute Personalteam

I was here yesterday 12./6.-23 and the food is tasteless! - and over-priced. - and also we paid more, than what it said on the bill. "Taxes"... "Drinking tips"... Yeah right....

Sehr freundlich Mitarbeiter und sehr nette Service. Kann euch Empfehlen

Das Essen war sehr lecker und das Lokal ist sehr gemütlich! Die Bedingung war sehr freundlich!

I ordered a glass of wine to enjoy whilst reading. I went to pay and they told me they only accept cash. When I told them I didn’t have cash, the waiter was annoyed and got the card machine out (so they do accept card) and told me I had to pay double because I didn’t have cash. What business does accept card in 2023?

“If you want to know if a Italian restaurant is good, get the Aglio e olio” - mama There’s is excellent

Also 9,90 für eine Margarita finde ich ziemlich frech und gemütlich ist es dort auch nicht wirklich. Die Pizza war auch nicht gerade ein Highlight...oder groß... Da ist Dominos wirklich besser.

Veldig god pizza. Vi hadde behov for et toalett litt kjapt og kjøpte oss en enkel pizza på deling. Det var en utmerket pizza, og en veldig hyggelig servitør.

Horrible food. We ordered different salads, truly disgusting.

Görülmesi gereken bir yer, ışıklandırma daha iyi olabilirdi. Altından geçerken dikkat edin mermerler çok kaygan.

Seit vielen Jahren sehr gutes Essen!

Hatten ein sehr gutes Mittagsangebot.

Sehr gute Atmosphäre, Essen und Service. Danke für al

Terrible food. The first potatoes I did like in my life! ugh I might as well ordered the worse dish here. DO NOT ORDER CHICKEN WITH POTATOES. Terrible. It was cooked with no love at all! they don’t speak any English and the lady didn’t understood my friend can’t have cheese and brought a lasaña that looked like a soup with cheese lol

So enttäuschend. Sind langjährige Gäste, nun nicht mehr. Sind selten so " verarscht"( sorry für die Wortwahl, trifft leider absolut zu) worden. Trüffellasagne war ganz weit weg von Trüffeln , die Portion mit 2 Lasagneplatten lächerlich und der Servicemitarbeiter bei höflicher Nachfrage dreist lachend. Für 19.90 fürs Portiönchen und dann auch noch frech - wir kehren nun, als treue Gäste, in der Nähe ein.

If you like the experience of an entire tray of drinks dropped on you, come visit... Otherwise don't bother.

Angenehmer Italiener. Meine Portion Pasta hatte eine schöne Größe.

Ein sehr gemütliches Restaurant. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und das Essen einfach lecker. Es war ein rundum gelungener Restaurantbesuch.

Ganz gemütlich, freundlich und sehr lecker. Alles frisch,schön angerichtet und großzügige Portionen...

Lovely restaurant, full of locals. The food was very good, nothing fancy. The owner was cheerful and helpful. Definitely worth a visit. The wine was excellent.
