Vino & Basilico in Berlin

Very friendly service! My daily menu that day was rather average... (a vegetable cream soup...)

Excellent food, very friendly staff and great atmosphere! Highly recommended.

What a lovely evening in this real Italian restaurant😌. There were three of us there and we were totally thrilled. The atmosphere was warm, the team was super attentive and just really friendly. The food? Incredibly delicious – fresh, authentic and made with a lot of love. You can taste that the cooking here is made with heart. Thank you for this thoroughly successful evening 🌟. We'll definitely be back.

Tagliatelle al tartufo absolute recommendation. Great team 😃 gladly again..

Super authentic Italian cuisine with a twist on modern interpretation. Service was warm and attentive.

Entro dentro al locale ed era pieno mi siedo tutto normale e comincio ordinare, arrivano i antipasti niente tovagliolo, andiamo avanti. Locale carino ed accogliente, la qualità del cibo è scarsa per quello che paghi, indubbiamente alta, purtroppo la cottura della pasta papardelle era cruda non era all’altezza nè del prezzo nè del locale. Filetto di manzo 40€ molto mignon per i bambini, Mi era stato consigliato dai nostri amici per me non mi è piaciuto cosi tanto, non mi ha lasciato niente a pensare del cibo italiano.

Really nice place for lunch and dinner with very attentive staff. We ordered pasta and it was delicious, risotto which was rice with tomato and a very good dessert (photos attached of everything). Highly recommended!

I enter the place and it was full, I sit down completely normal and start ordering, the appetizers arrive, no napkin, let's move on. Nice and welcoming place, the quality of the food is poor for what you pay, undoubtedly high, unfortunately the cooking of the papardelle pasta was raw and did not live up to the price or the place. Beef fillet €40 very small for children, It was recommended to me by our friends but I didn't like it that much, it left me with nothing to think about Italian food.

Seasonal fresh good cuisine! Weekly specials plus season ticket. The service team has been the same for years and is always competent.

Ambiente molto carino e fine. Antipasti curati e di qualità. Primi piatti con gusti e profumi italiani e prosecco di buona qualità. Tiramisù gustoso. Buona selezione di vini. Fuori dalla mischia dei ristoranti turistici italiani. Prezzo in linea con ambiente e qualità. Bravi!

Best truffle pasta I have had. It is creamy, rich and saucy. The truffle scent with parmesan was heavenly. Emulsified in my mouth and washed down with a glass of ice cold procecco, I gasped after the first bite. Staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend! 12/10

Insider tip for Italian cuisine in Berlin The Vino & Basilico restaurant was THE culinary discovery of our last trip to Berlin. I have to admit that it was a recommendation from the F&B director of a luxury hotel in Frankfurt - we wouldn't have found the inconspicuous restaurant on our own. To cut a long story short: it was sensationally good and significantly exceeded our (high) expectations. So During the course of the evening, which developed into a culinary experience in a class of its own, it turned out that the chef Mattia Mura had learned his craft from top chefs such as Michael Kempf and Christian Lohse, among others. You can taste his experience in star gastronomy in every dish. Italian classics prepared fresh, creatively and aromatically from the best ingredients - a feast for the senses. We were thrilled with Gamberi Rossi on watermelon and smoked buffalo mozzarella in tempura dough as well as pulpo with guanciale bacon, potatoes and parmesan cream - these were sensationally good starters. The following main courses, paccheri with salsiccia di vitello on a plate of scamorza cheese fondue and risotto with chanterelles and truffled veal tartare, also effortlessly kept what the primi promised. The portions were quite generous and the prices were very moderate. Conclusion: If you want to enjoy top-quality Italian cuisine prepared to perfection and forego the chi-chi and trendy crowds, you can safely ignore the city's well-known "fine Italians". The Vino & Basilico is our new “favorite Italian” in Berlin. A top recommendation for foodies who want to enjoy the best quality without frills and at reasonable prices.

Always nice going there for some pasta

Excellent dishes, quality ingredients and an excellent selection of wines. Cozy atmosphere, impeccable service. A must for those who love real Italian cuisine!

A special place: I have rarely eaten Italian cuisine so well abroad! The bigoli, perfectly al dente, were delicious, very seasoned and plentiful. A dish that alone is worth dinner. Polite and attentive service. Very highly recommended.

Very average tasting food (too salty) and very expensive (the burrata entree that you can see in pictures of other reviewers is around 15€) plus pretty limited menu. They gave our table away even though we specifically called to notify about arriving later (due to subway issues) and even though we assured them about leaving before our time slot was over. The atmosphere would have been quite nice despite a very wobbly table, if the music hadn't been wayy too loud and it being a best of 2010s playlist. Hearing "Turn down for what" blaring through the speakers was more reminiscent of a club than a cute Valentines Day Date. Service is average at most, very little attention to the customers, other people had to wait a long time to be able to pay, they also ended up almost overcharging us by putting another bottle of 7,50€ water on our tab. For reference we had: Water, Aperol spritz, shared the cheapest small entree for 13€, the cheapest pasta each (tomato+some bacon) and paid 82€. Pretty safe to say we won't be returning here.

Great pasta! Would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Virkelig skøn italiensk mad, restauranten var fyldt til bristepunktet men de altid smilende tjenere var fulde af overskud. Vi spiser her hver gang vi er i Berlin

If you are looking for the best of Italian cuisine in Berlin, you cannot miss trying this Italian restaurant masterfully directed by chef Loriano, staff and service 10!! Excellent value for money!! Highly recommended!!!

pasta with truffle was very good but expensive , the same with the wine! we had to wait a bit until our order was taken but the food, amazing!

Everything is beautiful about this restaurant. I'm in love. If I had one wish: the wine list could use a few more items.

Vino y Basilico is currently becoming my absolute go-to Italian. Very authentic, a great (open) kitchen, friendly staff, really good wine and "the boss" always has time for a chat with customers. I've been here many times now, been greeted personally, tried different dishes, enjoyed the best wine and really felt comfortable here for hours. I look forward to every time I make a reservation here again and can show this beautiful place to friends. So I can wholeheartedly recommend it! Bacio, Jani

A fantastic, authentic Italian restaurant! The food was an absolute delight – from the starter to the dessert it was simply perfect. The service was pleasant, friendly and attentive, so we felt completely at home. The table at the counter was a particular highlight: the view of the food being prepared impressed us and made us even more interested in the delicious dishes. Many thanks to the entire team for this wonderful evening – we will definitely come back!

Nice Italian restaurant with tasty cuisine, busy at lunchtime, service still friendly. Always worth a visit. There is also a small lunch menu!

During our holiday in Berlin we were looking for a good Italian restaurant to eat some pasta and, after a quick look on Google, we decided to stop here. We entered with the hope of finding a real Italian restaurant and it was pleasant to find all the Italian staff. It should be noted that I am an Italian restaurateur and chef in the UK and I know how difficult it is to find quality products and process them to get closer to the true flavors of our country.. In fact, I entered the restaurant very skeptical (I usually prefer to avoid Italian restaurants abroad) but I was shocked by the quality and goodness I found. The menu is small but still full of excellent choices, the layout of the room, in my opinion, a little too basic and clashed a little with the dishes presented. We ordered Gnocchi with sauce for the little one, Tagliolini with truffle, an excellent slice of meat and monkfish. Everything was excellent, I haven't eaten such a good truffle in years and it's rare to find a perfectly cooked slice of meat that cuts like butter. At the end we also had the pleasure of chatting and exchanging some of our visions and cooking experiences with the chef. Obviously the price is not cheap, but it reflects the quality put on the plate. It would certainly be a pleasure to return in the future.

Highly recommended! Very attentive staff and delicious food. We ordered pulpu and truffle pasta and they were both outstanding and beautifully presented. Upon request, the restaurant even offered us romantic table decorations and a slightly separate place because we were celebrating our anniversary. We felt very comfortable and are already looking forward to our next visit.

Siamo stati ieri sera. Cucina regolare. La camarera castagna ricciola molto sgarbata, fa pure i versi. Veramente delusi dell’atteggiamento del personale!

An Italian of the highest quality Jam jam is all you can say

¡Un lugar maravilloso! Cálido y acogedor, el personal es muy amable, y la comida era increíble. Mucho mejor de lo esperado y sin duda volvería. Muy recomendable!

Esta noche cenamos aquí, bienvenida muy amable, tenemos una mesa agradable y nos encantó de pasta! También muy buenos postres, el vino también era genial y buena música. . ¡Un lugar para volver!

This is one of the best restaurants in Berlin and the best Italian. The menu is creative! We had beef tartare and duck breast - both were outstanding. Wines are also very good. What is particularly noteworthy is that the slightly higher prices correspond to the quality. You don't skimp on the quality of the products like most Berlin restaurants.

A nice Italian fine dining place. Food is quite tasty and a good selection of wines. However the prices are quite high and the food is unfortunately not matching this. The pasta was well prepared but not the best I had in Berlin and was 24 euros. The best part of the meal was the sharing platter so can highly recommend the starters. Also the duck breast was well made and again for the price was not the best I had. I would definitely come back for the tiramisu

Excellent Italian restaurant, thank you!

The best truffle pasta & ragu I’ve ever tried!! However the service was not the best. We knew from the beginning that the reservation was for 2 hours, which is okay, however our mains took a while to arrive and they really rushed us in the end. One waitress even through the invoice on the table in the end and said “I need the table now”. The food was impeccable though!

Good and authentic! The duck is amazing as well as the pasta with calamari ragu

Excellent food, very friendly and attentive staff

Meals are exceptional, the personnel is rather welcoming, but it’s extremely hot inside, probably due to the open kitchen. All the time I spent there I was thinking about getting outside for a grasp of fresh air, but I couldn’t leave my perfect risotto.

Awesome food, awesome service! Thanks for the great experience - highly recommend

A delight! Especially the tartufo pasta. The desserts too. Everything in this place is perfect. My favorite Italian food place in Berlin so far :)

The best Italian restaurant I've been to in Berlin. Always very courteous staff, refined and refined dishes! Fair price for the quality!! Recommended!!!

Not that good place, extremely expensive without reasonable food quality. A regular place with nothing special.

Enjoyed a lovely pasta dish with a good glass of Multipuciano. Very lovely place. Only 7 euro’s for a bottle of pelligrino is a bit much.

Small welcoming neighborhood bistro, simple but good food. The service was a little long but they agreed to serve us quite late which was nice of the team.

The food here is good but expensive, the atmosphere is very nice. Unfortunately, the service largely ignored us after we ordered our food. We would have liked to have a drink, a dessert or a digestif, but the staff were too busy chatting to each other at the bar for about 40 minutes. After waving several times we were at least able to pay. Too bad, less sales and we won't come back.

I was very well received even though I had not booked. The service was impeccable.

Super delicious from starter to dessert. Friendly and courteous service.

Restaurante italiano de muy alto nivel con deliciosos platos que me gustó probar. La calidad es alta y la variedad se mantiene en la parte superior con una excelente elección de ingredientes.

Dinner with my son and partner. Excellent authentic Italian fare. Loved the duck, but was not brave enough to try the veal tartare which my son’s Italian partner just loves. Although not an extensive menu my impression is that it is the quality that counts here. Wine of course is fro Italy although German beer is available.

The truffle pasta is really great! I could eat these every day. All other dishes can also be recommended. In terms of price, the food is in the upper segment. Parking is a bit difficult in the area, but the restaurant is very easy to reach by public transport

Highly recommended, very tasty food. The service is also nice, you can still enjoy a delicious meal without a reservation.

Like at home!! Italian food, delicious first courses, second courses and desserts!! It feels like being in Italy both for the food and the service. Super recommended

Top! One of the best restaurants I went to! Delicious food and very friendly and attentive staff. absolutely go there! Vote 10!

Über das Essen gibt es wenig zu kritisieren: solides Pasta Handwerk. Pappardelle mit Ossobuco und Tagiatelle mit Steinpilzen. Der Sevice war leider, so wie man es -leider- nicht selten von italienischen Restaurants kennt, an Kälte und Arroganz schwer zu toppen… schlimm denn das machte eine sonst schöne Location zu nichte…

Dîner en couple dans ce restaurant italien typique Superbe accueil malgré que nous n’avions pas réservé Je recommande les papardele ossobucco une tuerie La wine list est de qualité avec de très belles références

Highly priced (tiramisu glass €9??), nice service, good atmosphere but gnocchi really bad: overcooked. Almost mush. Too bad.

We went there with a large group and the waiter happily welcomed us. The food is delicious and true Italian style.

We were very early because they were full for the rest of December evening. That says enough. The food here is delicious. Friendly and fast service. We didn't feel like they wanted to sell the table again and let us enjoy it in peace. Risotto took some getting used to because of its bitterness. We couldn't quite place it. The truffle pasta was delicious. Tiramisu shared. Very nice place. Remains on our list

1 star for the waitress who shouldn't be working in a customer facing job with the attitude that she has. This restaurant doesn't accept cards or orders below 15€. So you are forced to give cash. And when you give cash which isn't an exact change, this lady makes a super annoying face. Such a disgrace.

Ottimo ristorante italiano situato al centro di Berlino, bellissimo locale, molto accogliente con sala interna ed esterna. Le cameriere sono state molto professionali ed accoglienti, praticamente mi sono affidato a loro ed ho mangiato da dio. Ho subito apprezzato la maestria degli chef con gli antipasti, il primo è stato spettacolare, concludendo con un tiramisù che mi ha lasciato senza parole. Che dire…piatti abbondanti e prezzi che rispettano la qualità del cibo, servizio molto celere. Tappa fissa ogni volta che ritornerò a visitare questa città!! Consigliatissimo

Na de marathon Weer een leuke avond gehad, lekker eten, goede wijn! Was de 2e keer en volgende keer weer! Prijs kwaliteit meer dan inorde! De wijnen trouwens scherp geprijsd!

Excellent Italian restaurant close to Museum Island! Simple but very tasty pasta, as well as an excellent wine list!

Tagliolini al tartufo is amazing. As is the veal tartar. Never had anything that was less than excellent 👌

Cosy atmosphere, tasty food, friendly service.

Do yourself a favor and order the truffle pasta! 10 out of 10, it was heavenly! The two of us spontaneously got a table for dinner. The dog was given water, we had very good wine and phenomenal pasta dishes. It was delicious and I can only recommend it!

The food was quite tasty and arrived quickly at the table. However, the service wasn't really friendly and the prices were very high.

We had excellent expectations given the reviews, but when we got there we found the prices a little higher than average. Pasta dish with veal and mushrooms good but perhaps a little al dente. Service normal, the girl very kind and nice.

Very delicious Italian food. The waiter who served us was very friendly.

We had to wait over an hour for the food. The service brought the menus beforehand and hastily placed them on the table without greeting us or saying a word. When the food finally came, the meat was an absolute disaster and had nothing to do with an entrecôte. It was extremely fibrous and inedible. Even though I ordered it medium, it was completely dried out and far from medium. The service employee offered to prepare the meat fresh, but I didn't feel like waiting any longer. Overall, a flop that I haven't experienced at an Italian restaurant for a long time. It really doesn't deserve a star from me. In the end there was an apology, but there was no offer of the house, a price reduction or any other compensation. Simply bad.

Incredibly good Italian restaurant. Very nice staff and food as if you were there. Absolutely clear recommendation!!

“Feeling at home in Berlin” this is how I felt in this restaurant in the heart of the German capital. Elaborate and delicious dishes, quality products, friendly and always smiling staff, welcoming and modern atmosphere in a super central area. Super recommended place, absolutely not to be missed in Berlin. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to enjoy flavors that taste of Italy.

A small, cute, not “typical” Italian restaurant. The menu is manageable. Please don't get me wrong, I love restaurants that specialize in what makes them special. The service was very friendly. The selection wasn't easy despite the "small menu" BUT all 2 starters and 2 main courses were so delicious. The pasta was homemade, to the point Alldente. The chanterelle ragout, simply a poem for the palate. It was a wonderful evening in a "small, not typical Italian restaurant.

Good food and people but then charged me 75€ instead of 45€, i didn’t ask receipt as I was trusting them… i hope its not on purpose and just a mistake otherwise be careful. Lets see if I get a refund for 30€ charged more!

Tha Bigoti with mushroom and veal ragu were excellent, pasta cooked to the point. Very good wine and professional service. A bit more on the expensive side for Berlin standards but worth it.

We came here for the first time on a recommendation and were thrilled by the fresh food, very tasty selection with great ingredients...We'll be back next time and above all keep it up...Service was very attentive and friendly. Kind regards from Jade and Rico ;)

Absolutely spectacular - delicious fresh food and wonderful service.

Great neighborhood find. The food is delicious, and servers are very nice and happy to inform about dishes and specials. Reservation recommended for dinner.

Totally a failure and just overpriced. I even had to have my food returned. Added to this is the price, which is absolutely unjustified. As a guideline, a 0.75l bottle of water costs €7.50... no need to say more.

Great service. Top selection of wine and delicious food

Nice frame. But unwelcoming servers, not a single smile. The rucola pesto is inedible (much too bitter) and the waiter almost speaks badly to us when we tell him about it.

authentic, warm and extremely enjoyable! central location. We recommend

Very tasty food and great ambience. Perfect for a date.

Quiet place, friendly and competent staff, delicious food

The food was very tasty and service was very good

A very pleasant Italian restaurant not far from Oranienburger Straße and close to the S-Bahn. The restaurant has a small but fine menu.

Favorite dishes were the truffle pasta and Gorgonzola flan. Other pasta dishes were just ok, and the smell of grilled octopus was a big turn off in the restaurant.

Trevlig restaurang med mycket trevlig personal. Till förrätt åt vi Tortino Gorgonzola samt Fiocci ficci. Varmrätt: Pacheri, Garganelli ( se bild). Den senare var fantastiskt! Efterrätt: jordgubbar med limoncello Vi drack ett gott rött vin och avslutade med grappa och prosecco.

Really good food. The best part was the pasta felt fresh unlike commercial packaged pasta that you find at most restaurants. We had the taglioni al tartufo from their specials which had generous shavings of truffle, burratta on a tomato olive patè and the paccheri cone crema, everything with their lovely chili oil. The service was a little slow but the food made up for it. A hearty and satisfying italian meal!

I often go to this place with work colleagues. Atmosphere is great, service is professional and the prices aren’t to high nor to cheap. It’s truly the best business casual place for lunch or dinner. Location is great however, the food is never wow. Still, I’ll recommend to anyone looking for an easy options that will suit everyone’s taste.

Katastrophe, einmal und nie wieder. Das essen wie in der Kantine. Das Personal unfreundlich. Preis war ok . Weiß nicht woher die Bewertungen stammen.

We wanted to drink wine for two. But “just a drink” was not allowed. Our time window was only 20 minutes. Who can afford it, even though so many tables were free.

Place run by Italians, it caught our attention because it was very crowded. Ate excellent quality Italian dishes and drank good wine at an honest price. The only downside is that when so many people have to pay, people accumulate in line in a small corridor which can annoy those sitting at the table assigned to us.

A real discovery. Excellent Italian restaurant in the beautiful setting of Berlin. Courtesy and professionalism,

Posto accogliente,personale preparato e sorridente.se sei italiano ti senti a casa,cibo ottimo,lo consiglio siamo stati proprio bene

Ero già stato una volta a cena , sono tornato e tornerei ancora . Ottima l cucina e il personale è pronto e cortese. Un po’ caro , ma ne vale la pena

Food was amazing as well as service

I stayed in Berlin for 3 days for work and I went to eat here practically every time, out of 10. I recommend it

Welcoming Italian restaurant in great location. All staff pitch in to create a great experience. All Italian background bringing sophisticated Italian food to Berlin.

Very tasty, good quality and great service!

the baked Gorgonzola tarte had a nice texture, the pasta was perfectly al dente but sauce was alright and I personally didn’t like the sea bass. Staff was nice but didn’t pay us enough attention, we had to wait for too long to pay the bill, which was also a bit steep for what we got

Best truffle pasta, will definitely come back 💫
