We had both pizza and pasta, and both were really tasty. We were also given a complimentary espresso, and had two big beers, all for the cost of 22 euros, quite cheap also.

I used to have that dish in San Francisco at my favourite Italian place. It didn't disappoint either, the pasta was fresh, it looked like home-made, the sauce was also perfect, slow cooked rich goodness for 12,50€. The portion was more than sufficient as well. The service was also extremely friendly. I will go back to try their pizzas and lasagne as they also looked very nice.

Apart from that everything perfect! Delicious minestrone, delicious foccacia, delicious starters at really resonable prices. Besides nice waiters and the cleanest, cosiest, best scented WC ever seen in Kreuzberg : I will definitely come back!

The food is really really good, absolutely okay prices and you get to know the whole family (father, mom, son . I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and I'm definitely a fan now! :

Every dish I've had here is great and I have no complaints about the wine. They don't mind that I speak English and take my time. Molto bene!
