The Agnolotti (with cantharelles of with lobstersauce and shrimps) made us come back. The gerand was just as happy to serve the Italian food as to...serve Bittburger. Friendly and uncomplicated. Mildly priced.

We seated in a table close to the kitchen, but had to wait for the menu to be delivered, then another 20 minutes to have...our orders taken. When ordering food, the waiter asked us to order pizza, not pasta, as it is easier to prepare, but eventually gave in and even pasta was served. We had to wait approximately 45 minutes until food arrived, so we had plenty of time to have a look around: the decor of the restaurant is very outdated and tacky the tablecloths were stained and somehow damp the olive oil that sat on the counter was well expired the bathrooms were filthy and smelly although there plenty of tables available, the waiter kept turning down incoming patrons, as it was too busy the staff was clearly overwhelmed and not prepared for a number of guests The food, when it finally arrived, was failry disappointing. My pizza was soggy and the crust hard and inedible.Pasta looked and tasted bland and boring. I will not go again and would not ever recommend it.

And pretty good at that (I've had a lot worse food in Rome). But it is rather an average restaurant when all is said and done. My wife and I had a good experience, but we were also guests of some locals who...ate their frequently, so I suspect our service was a bit better than that received by other guests. You won't go wrong or go home hungry if you visit here. But be prepared for some waiting time and possibly other inconveniences.

Title sums it up, ridiculously cheap compared to everywhere else and really tasty and good sized portions, cheap wine too! Highly recommend! read more Title sums it up, ridiculously cheap compared to everywhere else and really tasty and good sized portions, cheap wine too! Highly recommend!

The menu was in German so we were unsure at first as to what we should order. The server was fantastic and explained the menu in English to us...and recommended various dishes based on our tastes. We had a sharing platter for our appetizer which was exquisite and presented beautifully. We then went with a pizza and pasta dish for our mains which couldn’t be faulted. 10/10!! Great staff, amazing food and gorgeous restaurant decor. We would defiantly recommend Gino’s to anybody visiting Berlin.
