Food was the definition of flavorless, staff were lazy, asked for sharing plates with entrees multiple times and never got them. Ended up making a mess of the table to only finally get plates with our main pastas!! Had the Ragu pasta, was more like boiled meat slopped together with pasta. As a young person and a traveler I can eat almost anything, even if it’s not great, but this I couldn’t even finish. The focaccia wasn’t as bad, but still quite average considering the value you can get at other places. Atmosphere was dead, 3 tables occupied and one waiter. Maybe it’s just me but considering the value of food Berlin has to offer this place is definitely a miss. Price per person: €30–40 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1
