We had iced matcha with coconut milk, an iced latte, and a croissant with light and dark chocolate. Very large glasses and really well made! We paid €15 for two.
We had a truly wonderful evening here! The food was fantastic (we had the octopus carpaccio and the bruschetta with burrata, both of which were fantastic), and the service was just as good (the waiter, Nacho, was a gem!) 😊 When we arrived at the restaurant, all the outside seating was already taken, but immediately and without batting an eyelid, they brought us a table outside where we could sit and enjoy the evening 😊
All in all, a truly fantastic restaurant that we can wholeheartedly recommend ♥️
A tiny, unassuming Italian restaurant in the heart of Charlottenburg – five tables inside, three outside – and yet my absolute number one. Ever since I discovered it, I haven't dared to go to any other Italian restaurant.
The menu is small, clear, yet varied. There's a daily special with changing offerings, and they're anything but standard: lamb ragù with porcini mushrooms, venison, monkfish, zander, chanterelles, or asparagus – depending on the season or whatever the chef has fresh at the time. Pasta alla carte is also fantastic, but honestly? I don't even ask anymore. I just say: You choose. Don't say anything. And every time, the result is a hit.
The chef is a quaint Italian, the kitchen is open – you can see how everything is made fresh. And then it comes: the pasta. This isn't just food, this is pasta in your face – perfectly cooked, with bite, flavor, and soul.
The portions are generous, the prices are absolutely fair, and they're accompanied by great wines or a really good espresso.
Summary: In this quiet side street, sunny and without any passing customers, you feel like you're on vacation. Everyone is welcoming, there are many regulars, and there's no rush – just arrive, enjoy, and forget that you're in the middle of Berlin. See pictures.
Small but nice place, wines are good and their descriptions are accurate, cocktails are all very good and consistent on the quality.
The bartender is also an easy going but highly professional and knowledgeable dude that will help you find something that suits your taste.
Bonus points : Some of their alcohols are made in the same street at Freytag.
Prices are OK for Berlin standards, this place is a hidden gem in fhain.
( This is not a restaurant anymore but they do have homemade finger food that is OK for berlin average quality )
I can't understand the reviews. This was the worst meal I've ever ordered. The chicken was dry and not a breaded fillet like the pictured. The fried noodles had almost no vegetables and no flavor. On top of that, the portions were ridiculously small for €14. The baked bananas came without honey. The owner may have changed hands, but the photos don't match the food.
