This is Berlin’s top gourmet Italian [address]. Ana and Bruno Pellegrini have made a [name] for themselves as the most hospitable hosts in their exquisite restaurant, serving the most exciting Mediterranean cuisine. Under chef Andrea Girau, hearty pasta has been replaced by a lower-carb avant-garde approach, with wonderfully fresh, seasonal ingredients. For a pasta course, try the pumpkin tortellini. Most of the menu is made of fish and meaty delicacies, such as a breast of wild duck with Trentino apples, purée of celery and Vahlrôna chocolate. We also love the risotto with scallops—melts in the mouth. Molto delicioso! Four-course meals for €67.

Unfussiness is the theme here, from the uncomplicated decor and friendly, casual service to the dishes made with fresh, high-quality seasonal ingredients. What more could you ask for? You’ll dine on some of the city’s best pizzas, delicious salmon tagliatelle in a lobster and crab sauce plus some slightly more inventive dishes such as ricotta-filled squid.

A serious Italian restaurant serving dishes made with exceptionally fine ingredients, such as local and Chianina beef. Also an excellent pizzeria, in fact the best in town according to EXBERLINER magazine. The decor is clean and uncomplicated with stone floors, a wine barrel bar counter and an eerily perfect noise level. Service is friendly and professional. Try the Elia, a scrumptious pizza in Bianco (no sauce). Take advantage of the robust wine list composed by the owner’s brother-in-law, a wine exporter.
