Vapori in Berlin

My wife and I both had the al arrabiata pasta. It was so good and spicy with great flavor and portion size. Please be advised that you have to pay with cash. I didn't have enough euros but they accepted US dollars.

Restaurant recommendation This restaurant is an absolute insider tip! It impresses with its incredibly cozy atmosphere, which immediately conveys a feeling of home. The food is excellent - every dish is prepared with love and tastes simply great. The familiar atmosphere and friendly service make the visit an all-round pleasant experience. Here you can sit back, relax and simply enjoy. Highly recommended and absolutely worth five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very chic, cozy restaurant and the staff are very friendly. The food is a pleasure 🥰

The best pizza I've ever eaten! A small, fine shop, family restaurateurs with attention to detail! Everyone who comes to Berlin should eat here! Thanks for the nice evening

Great pizza and pasta dishes cozy atmosphere. Gladly again!!!

Very good price-performance ratio. I would have liked a little more toppings on my pizza.

Super Pizza und Pasta Perfetto 🍕🍕🍝🍝

Great place for italian food! 😋 We ordered their seasonal pumpkin soup, which was creamy and tasty. For pasta we had their homemade pesto which we highly recommend, and also the pumpkin penne. Their tiramisu is also well made, it wasnt too sweet which we preferred.

A really nice restaurant near Kurfürstendamm. Wonderfully fresh food with a very good price/performance ratio. Very nice service.

The pasta is great, the service is excellent

Very good food, again at any time! 😊

Very busy in the evening but good home-made Italian food

45 minutes of waiting for 2 fast-food category pizzas of very poor quality with barely defrosted vegetables for the vegetarian pizza!!! A thin and dry dough! We don't tell you that they only accept cash payments!

No longer managed by Italian family Poor cooking skills Bolognese had sour vinegar taste Table wine was not up to Italian standards and tasted extremely sour

The owner is the sweetest, funniest and friendliest German in all of Germany, Berlin

Best place in Germany good customer service very good food very nice chef

It is a cash only place runned by a couple. They are nice people and the pasta is good.

We had a very tasty meal with friends as the pizza and pasta were also very tasty

As others have said - cash only

Cash only. They don’t disclose this. Then you have to pay €10 extra and the currency exchange.

Very cute Italian place with delicious coffee

It would be better if payment cards were accepted. Otherwise, everything was perfect. :)

We ate a legendary pizza with extremely delicious, thin crust. It was made by an artistic master. Thanks.

Always happy ❤️ I can recommend it wholeheartedly! Thank you and kind regards

The dishes was ok. Expensive, very unfriendly service. Without air conditioning and no credit card accepted. The bill was without details. Sorry, it's feel like as a tourist trap.

CASH ONLY! Food ok, nothing great. Service is quite bad, one waitress (in a bad mood), but the unacceptable is to only take cash in the center of Berlin. Ca'mon, you are not in a village in the middle of nowhere. The same problem happened to the table next to mine. At least you should put a MAJOR SIGN saying you only take cash.

It’s fine. Nice people and friendly service. Probably should have chosen the specials but was not in the mood for gnocchi. Spaghetti were cooked to perfection, arrabbiata sauce wasn’t hot at all. Pino Grigio was the only open wine option for a white wine, and it was meh. Bruschetta tasted like they were designed with a German patronage in mind. So much potential here, and I’ll try again when I am back in the town.

No air conditioning, felt pretty pricey and the service was slow - but the food was all tasty!

Berlin's Hidden Gem: A Must-Visit Italian Restaurant. The chef's expertise is evident in every bite, satisfying even the pickiest of eaters. I definitely ate every bite.

Great place with great pizza and great service, thought I was in Italy there for a minute 🤗

The food and service was VERY GOOD 👍. I'll definitely be back!!!I had Carbonara, which is really highly recommended! The pizza was also very tasty!

You can't pay by card, pasta with shrimps (3 shrimps) tasteless, expensive. Give a wide berth

Everything was great and very tasty 👍

Very tasty and the employees are nice. And the service was quick.

I ordered carbonara, but it's not carbonara for me. There is no pancetta, but some kind of salami instead. The rest of the food was fine. Good service, good atmosphere.

Solid Italian. Not high end but very nice service, fair prices and good portions.

pretty authentic small italian restaurant. food is good, but i would say nothing special. expensive.

We visited Berlin for 2 days. On the first evening we (2 adults 3 children) visited this small and charming Italian restaurant. We were very satisfied with the quality of the food and the friendly nature of the staff. So much so that our children urged us to eat here again on the second evening. On the second evening we were immediately recognized again, and the chef came straight to me and pointed out that he had the lasagne today, which had been sold out the night before. I didn't expect that and it makes you feel like you're coming home. I would be happy to give this a full rating. Thank you dear Vapori team for two lovely evenings with you.

Italian cuisine, near the zoo. Prices ok, food good, you can't pay by card.

Very good food, very nice workers, small but fine restaurant and the prices were very reasonable. I definitely recommend it if you're in Berlin. It's a very good place to visit.

Nice little Italian restaurant on a side street. The owners brought out two extra tables for us so we could sit outside even though we didn't have a reservation. The food was also extremely good and fairly priced. There is also enough choice for vegetarians. I deducted one star because you couldn't pay by card (as of May 23, 2024), alcoholic drinks weren't on the menu (but they were) and a pizza was incorrectly priced.

I went there with some of my friends while we were at a class trip and the food was so so delicious and everyone was soooo super nice to us! It was awesome!

Great service, food, wine and overall ambience. We had a lovely relaxed escape from the busy shopping street nearby. Give it a try!

A friendly pizzeria with a warm welcome, attentive service and quality ingredients

They fixed a table for us despite it being late at night and many guests. Everyone in the party ordered pizza and everyone was happy with their choices. Can be highly recommended for the simple evening meal!

Nice restaurant and nice staff. Pizza was tasty, but average for the price. I ordered carbonara myself, the pasta itself was delicious, but it was a far cry from carbonara with guanciale, pecorino romano and the traditional egg sauce.

Pizza was fine, pasta too. Very fast and nice service :) Prices relative to quaility.

Tourist trap, not coming back. All the ordered food (pizza, pasta & lasagne) seemed like pre-made and frozen. The cherry on the top was the "bill" - random amount shown on the calculator app on a phone screen.

Absolutely 5 stars. Me and my friend are on a schooltrip to Berlin and were looking for a Italian place, we defenitely found it! It was easily the best pasta we have had in a while. The service was great, the people working there were so sweet too. Would defenitely recommend!

I was looking for a great pizza around Zoologischer Garten and I found it in Vapori! Danke und grazie mille! Pizza was soo Italian. As all magnificient things, Vapori's pizza looks so simple and humble, but with the first bite you feel the burst of flavour. It is soo tasty and it is huge. The atmosphere feels so Italian too. It was such a lovely place to be.

The staff barely spoke English and show no pleasure serving you. There was no bill, The 'Chef' just came to tell me how much I'm supposed to pay.

Very tasty pizza, very nice staff

Good tasty Italian cooking, antipastis, soups, pastas, pizzas, desserts, wines, And gentle and smiling service, For a fair price. We enjoyed it very much .

Great service, pasta was very tasty, prices were also absolutely fair

Sad pizza Frutti di Mare for "courageous" €14.90...the garlic/tomato sauce pasta with 3 beautiful mussels and toppings for €2.50 should be a decent pizza when it's big. The pizza was rather embarrassing, but the ambience was actually very nice.

Nice Italian restaurant with a large selection of varied dishes. The pizza and pasta were very good and prepared quickly. It's also worth taking a look at the weekly menu.

Small, cute restaurant, very friendly staff and a taste experience with the pizza Vapori. I would love to come back.

Food was great, service was great... what more do you want. Top!!

Great food, very friendly and helpful. My favorite Italian restaurant!!

If you are in Berlin and want to get an Italian feel, then you should come to Vapori. The food is great and the workers are very nice. Highly recommend🌟🌟

Very tasty food and not too expensive. Super nice staff!!!👍🏻

Very tasty, nice atmosphere, very clean! Extras were nicely accommodated.

Strange, the varying and also very negative reviews. Small Italian restaurant where we found the atmosphere pleasant. Service from the owner and I think his wife was good and the food (we had pizza and lasagna) was the same. The price didn't seem to exactly match the menu, but there was no more than 10%, so they could have that tip from me.

Very cozy little restaurant! I would definitely make a reservation for the evening, otherwise it can get very crowded. The food was very good and there is usually a daily menu with seasonal recommendations. The service is also very attentive! The only thing I complain about is that you can only pay with cash. Otherwise great 🤩

Very tasty and very nice service!!

Cute small restaurant Great food and amazing service! Vegetarian pizza with "seasonal " vegetables was weird, it had peas😅

Very nice place! Really great food and beautiful service. I would do it for one Really recommend great evening or lunch!

Super good pizza! Very nice service and you can get a seat very quickly.

Extremely slow service. The dishes all arrived at different times. We ordered pasta carbonara and it didn't have bacon. My salad never had parmesan cheese. Half of the food was junk, like French fries and fried calamari, never cooked in a restaurant. The explanation was that in Germany the dishes are different 🤷‍♀️

It was very nice! Thanks again for the free pizza ball

A gem in heart of Berlin, as you step inside Vapori, you will be treated with cozy decor, wall of pictures and impressive live counter. Whether you are craving classic pasta or delightful pizza, the menu has something to satisfy every palate. Buon appetito 🇮🇹🍝🍕

Very nice staff, good food and a very cozy atmosphere

The food, starter and salad, bread, pizza, penne with very tasty tomato pesto, was all very good. What wasn't so good was that our jackets and clothes smelled terribly like food and you couldn't pay cashless.

Super leckeres Essen zu einem absolut fairen Preis!

Bardzo fajna włoska restauracja w centrum berlina , miła obsługa i niesamowity klimat .

Es war ein sehr schöner Besuch! Die Kellnerin sehr nett und die Köche gleich vom Platz aus beobachtbar, wie sie das wirklich super gute Essen kochten. Das einzige was ein bisschen Schade war, ist das man nur Barzahlen konnte.

Ausgezeichnetes Essen und ein netter Service. Eine der ersten Anlaufstellen wenn wir in Berlin sind

K kJ eines Restaurant, ca. 24 Plätze. Lecker Essen, Personal sehr freundlich. Der Chef kocht auch mal selbst 😊

Das hat mit ital. Küche nicht viel zu tun 😔Das ist richtig schlechtes Essen und billigster Wein👎👎

Delicious! Food and service 5 stars for sure. 4 for service: cash only in 2023? Are you serious?

Hallo, das kurzfristige Essen mit telefonischer Reservierung hat echt gut geklappt. Leider haben wir feststellen müssen, dass das mit dem Ambiente und der Freundlichkeit der Bedienung auch das einzige Gute war. Pizza war ok, jedoch nach dem dritten Stück auch schon echt kalt (kein langsamer Esser). Mit einer Zusatzgebühr von 3.50€ für 5 kleine Garnelen auch echt teuer. Tagliatelle bestellt, mit der Auswahl von zweier Nudelsorten als Antwort bekommen… Nudeln rausgesucht und auch für 1.90€ auf der Rechnung erschienen. Dazu wie üblich bei einem Italiener Parmesan bestellt und auch für das 1.90€ bezahlt. Alles in einem ein kleines Stübchen mit vielen Zusatzgebühren und nicht viel Getränkeauswahl… In Berlin…

The food was perfect, everything looked clean and well cared for. The only thing i dont like is the fact that the staff didnt speak english.

Ich hatte Pizza Trüffel Carpaccio und es war sensationell. Selten eine so leckere Pizza gegessen. Das Lokal ist klein, aber sehr authentisch und gemütlich. Würde jederzeit wieder kommen.

Super lecker und freundlich. Eine echte kleine Alternative zu den großen Restaurants...

Super heerlijk eten, een gezellig klein familie restaurant. Erg sfeervol. Een aanrader.

owner is the nicest man on earth very good pizza and climate

Im Restaurant kann man leider mit GAR keiner Karte zahlen. Die pizza war gut, mit einem dünnen feinen Teig. Alles in allem ist das Restaurant ok, aber mitten in Berlin und keine Kartenzahlung ist schon ganz schön frech.

Sehr leckeres Essen zu relativ günstigen Preisen, nette Bedienung alles tip top! Gerne wieder

Wir konnten trotz Ende September noch draußen sitzen. Der Service und die Bedienung waren wirklich gut! Für unser Baby wurde direkt ein Hochstuhl organisiert und zwei Bücher als Beschäftigung gebracht, sehr zuvorkommend. Das Essen war lecker. Hier gibt es einen Punkt Abzug, weil zwei der bestellten Gerichte nicht wie bestellt bzw wie vorgestellt waren. Eine Pizza wurde mit Champignons zubereitet, obwohl extra ohne bestellt. Und die Gemüsepizza ist mit Peperoni und Oliven belegt, während in der Beschreibung lediglich "Gemüse" steht. Kenne ich bislang so nicht. Aber die Pizzen generell sind sehr lecker. Das Restaurant an sich ist hübsch, leider steht es direkt an der Straße und man schaut direkt auf eine Großbaustelle.

Sehr lecker! Habe die Tortelini gegessen und vorab eine Tomaten Creme Suppe. War wirklich gut, komme sehr gerne wieder!

Pizza are not so tasty. Good service and nice locale

Sehr freundlicher und zuvorkommender Service mit sehr guter Auswahl an sehr leckeren italienischen Speisen.

Sehr freundlich, leckeres Essen, nur zum Empfehlen!

Wir waren zu viert hier. Wurden super bedient und das Essen war auch spitze. Gerne wieder.

Service really trying but don’t get in when they are busy. Food is as lame as ot can get. Industrial pasta and over cooked (i make better barilla at home), herbs and tastes were not formed . Simply not good.

First thing - cash only. Second, I am basing my review on the positives of my experience because I dined here the night before the marathon and everywhere was so busy and understaffed. The service was outstanding. The only lady serving, taking orders etc deserves a round of applause because despite the madness, she remained so lovely and efficient. The chefs, who you can see from your table, worked tirelessly all night to deliver good food. I had the arrabiata and I can highly recommend. Pasta cooked to perfection (still had that bite) and the sauce was delicious. The restaurant is so cosy, with photos decorating the walls. Overall, despite the pre-marathon madness and long wait time for food, I would still come back.

Nice service, very kind owner! Supertasty food! Higly recomend

Mein Lieblingsitaliener! Ich gehe hier sehr gerne hin. Das Personal ist immer super nett und das Ambiente ist entspannt und familiär. Es gibt eine große Auswahl an leckeren Gerichten und alle sind sehr lecker. Auch die Salate sind super! Immer ein Besuch wert:)

Wir waren abends auf der Suche nach einem italienischem Restaurant und sind hier eher zufällig gelandet. Treffer!!! Sehr nettes kleines Restaurant mit leckerem Essen. Nudelgerichte und Pizza waren top! Prompter Service, nettes Ambiente nur ein paar Meter vom großen Trubel entfernt Wir sind am nächsten Abend gleich nochmal hin 👍 und haben das Lokal an Freunde weiterempfohlen. Beim nächsten Berlin-Besuch kommen wir auch wieder!

Das Essen war sehr lecker. Vom Salat bis zur Pizza war alles sehr sehr gut. Auch der Service und die Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett und unterhaltsam. Die Location, genauso wie die Ambiente verschafften eine schöne Atmosphere. Sehr sehr zu empfelen.
