Bella Vita - Berlin

Fabulous food at good prices and very friendly staff. Visited 4 yrs ago and just as good now, if not better with the same staff. My wife remembered them. A must visit restaurant

Came out of the Cold War Museum and wandering around looking for restaurant. The one we wanted was closed re being a Sunday so ventured in to this place. Waiter seemed pleasant, sat outside and whilst menu was not fantastic, friends decided on bolognese, pasta with bacon and for me the lasagne. Drinks came without the sparkling water but did not chase it up. My lasagne arrived and looked good with cheese bubbling away, but my goodness! Worst lasagne I have ever come across, it was like a soup, with hardly any meat, needed a spoon to sup it up then it was just chewing cheese! Absolutely awful and just had to send it back, advising do not want another one. Waiter was surprised but then he came back to show me another lasagne for another person and agreed mine was not good. He came back with a complimentary salad which was kind gesture, but there were bits of dirt within the lettuce I didn't recognise and crunched it with my teeth wondering what on earth was it? Thinking it was just a one off bit of grit but there were more? Not a good experience. Friends said the bolognese was good but I personally thought it looked very dry and the other meal of pasta cheese and bacon, other friend ate it but said it was very average, nothing special. Very disappointing meal in city centre of Berlin.

We had a good dinner and we were happy at first. Then we asked for the bill. The waiter brought the check. After a while he came back to tell us the tip was not yet included. We paid the bill and gave a tip of 11 euro. He was not happy. He got mad because it wasn’t enough. After that he wasn’t friendly anymore and didn’t even say goodbye anymore.

Very delicious. Everything tastes really good. And everything is very well served. We almost tried all the dishes. By the way, very tasty Lambrusco. We come here more often.

This Italian invites you directly to Friedrichstraße and Unter den Linden. There is nothing to complain about food: It was delicious and expensive absolutely okay. Even the parts were lush. However, the wine must have been stored next to the pizza oven and was far too warm (about 25°C) and the glass Merlot had to cool down on the terrace until the temperature slows down... The colleague also had bad luck with his wine. Otherwise the service was rather flotted, the interior modern.
