😠 We waited 2h to finally receive our food. The portion was 4 spoons small and absolutely not worth the price (18€!) We had both of the available pasta options. One was missing half of the ingredients that were stated on the menu and the other one a „truffle pasta“ tasted like cheese mixed with water... People often mention pasta, good, experience, truffle, service,

    We waited 2h to finally receive our food. The portion was 4 spoons small and absolutely not worth the price (18€!) We had both of the available pasta options. One was missing half of the ingredients that were stated on the menu and the other one a „truffle pasta“ tasted like cheese mixed with water and sawdust that looked like truffle on top. It tasted as bad as it sounds. Very disappointing experience.

    HORRIBLE PLACE, DO NOT GO HERE! The staff, including the chef, had a terrible attitude and were seriously rude. The food (just pasta) arrived cold, undercooked, and tasteless, despite a 2 hour wait. The waitress openly started drinking gin with the chef in front of all the guests because they were annoyed with our complaint. While I was using the restroom, the same waitress turned off the lights, leaving me in complete darkness. When I confronted her, she shamelessly stated that I needed to hurry up because she had to use the toilet. I strongly advise against dining at this place. The staff's terrible attitude, including open drinking, along with their complete lack of respect, is absolutely unacceptable. Coupled with the disappointing food after an extensive wait, this place is simply not worth your time or money. Look elsewhere for a better dining experience, which shouldn't be difficult because this is easily the worst place to visit in Berlin.

    This is what happens when hipsters open a restaurant, not having any understanding of how the restaurant business works. Mediocre food with an attitude. They gave us olives, and we thought it was a standard compliment and started eating it, the waitress came, said we didn't order it, it cost 5 euros, and took it to another table. Such an awkward situation. Not recommended.

    It looks like a promising place, but unfortunately I think the potential isn't fully developed. The atmosphere was a bit cold and windy, both in terms of lighting and decoration as well as socially. The food portions were too small for the price and one pasta dish was so salty that we couldn't eat it (and I usually pour salt on everything). Even for me it was inedible. When we asked the waiter if something had gone wrong with the dish, he told us another guest ate the same dish and didn't complain. He then offered to take it off the bill and took the plate away, but on the bill instead of the 18€ for the pasta we had 10€ charged. I think if they would be more understanding of their customers, and make them feel more welcome, it could be a nicer place.

    Good variety of wines and welcoming staff. However, the pasta with “truffle” and chanterelles lacked flavor and was served lukewarm. The truffle had an earthy taste that didn't resemble genuine truffle. The price for the pasta was way too high (18€) for the quality presented! Disappointing.

    I didn’t have the pleasure to dine here yet as I just stopped by for an aperitivo. This new cool restaurant in graefekiez is really cozy and it really has a real Italian vibe. I had an Aperol spritz and a bruschetta with butter and anchovies: delicious. I will come back to try their main dishes and have a look on the wine cart! If you are strolling in the neighbourhood it definitely worth a stop.

    Really nice place in midst of beautiful Graefestr.! Unfortunately, they don’t serve Pasta anymore, but there are other tasty Italian options available: Pide, warm cheese, spinach salad and (really really good) Cannoli. Service is very friendly (!) but a little bit slow…

    My friend and me had a lovely dinner! I was concerned for the reviews I read online but I can confirm the negative reviews aren’t accurate at all!! The food was very good, Giuseppe and Marco were lovely! The atmosphere was perfect and cozy!! I highly recommended! 💕

    By far the worst Aperol Spritz I’ve ever had. How come it tastes like still water when two of the ingredients are supposed to be fizzy? We were also gently told that we need to leave because they have another reservation although we had also reserved our table. We even haven’t finished our drinks yet. Food was also below average. I was surprised the place got so many good reviews. Perhaps our experience was an exception… but a bad experience is a bad experience.

    I hosted my birthday dinner here and it was lovely and the food and the wine are great! They offered a selection from the menu for the birthday dinner and were very helpful with that. So thanks to re cucina for a splendid evening! I also come here very often during summer as outside seating is very nice and comfortable. The staff is very friendly, too.

    We used Re Cucina to cater our wedding and can only say positive things about the experience. Great communication with us as well as the with the venue from the start. They put together a tasty menu within our limited budget (including options for those with special dietary restrictions) despite limited access to the onsite kitchen. Our guests were all happy and well fed.

    As an Italian, I was quite disappointed both from the food and the service. I’ve called to book a table at 21 and they let me know that the kitchen would close at 21.30 Once sat at the table at 21 we got told that they wouldn’t take any more orders for warm food, so we got a Piadina. The filling inside was good but they were half empty, plus quite expensive to be honest. At 21.40, they kept the entrance open to signal that they wanted us out, I guess, so we had to chug our glass of wine while we were freezing cold.

    Top comfort food for the best evening of the last month! Pasta dishes are very sofisticated, and there is a huge amount of yummy antipasti!

  • 5/5 Yucumã O. 2 years ago on Google
    Even tho I’m vegan, the chef made Pappa al Pomodoro with rasps of olives which was not on the menu and was so good, and the Farinata was fantastic, which I recommend, especially if you are vegan! If you are not vegan or vegetarian, there are plenty of delicious-looking dishes, which my family appreciated a lot that evening

    Great disappointment. We actually came for pasta, but that is not being served here anymore. Prices quite high.

  • 4/5 Eliécer D. 3 years ago on Google
    The place is pretty small, happily we got a place without reservation. We were really happy with the quality of the pasta, the price was bit hip, 15€. The size of the portion was very generous, I am very happy. Delicious but pricey, the service was good. The recommended one : Marchinellelli 🤤

    Always a delight! The food was deliciously prepared and very comforting. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing drink and/or dinner. The service was friendly and efficient. And the pasta was cooked perfectly - just like they do it in Italy, al dente. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable dining experience.

👍 The queue can get really long in a very short amount of time. We were lucky and waited for about 5 minutes before placing our order. The place was fully packed both inside and outside after we picked up our food. We got the original döner but I was unsure about the sauce they used. The sandwich was...
