Really enjoyed it. They offer a genuinely great Italian dining experience. The atmosphere is cozy and modern, and the food is consistently delicious. Their pasta dishes and pizzas are standouts, and the service is friendly and attentive. Overall, it's a great spot for both casual meals and special occasions. Highly recommended!

Sale e Tabacchi is a long-running Italian restaurant nestled in Mitte that exudes its own cozy charm, complete with high ceilings that add to its inviting atmosphere. The food here is authentic and decent, offering a taste of Italy right in the heart of Berlin. One of the highlights for me was discovering that they also serve Bellinis, adding a touch of elegance to the dining experience.

Prices are high. Service are very great. Food is also good. We got our appetizer and drinks very fast. One thing I really didn’t like is that there was no music in the restaurant. At all. When we came it was empty and service was running with the tables around us and making a lot of noise in completely quiet place. Then came a lot of people and restaurant was full. But still no music at the background. Tables are very close to each others. So you can hear everyone’s talk…The interior is old fashion. So in general atmosphere was not that pleasant.

The best Italian restaurant in Berlin! Great place with a comforting terrace and excellent food. The quality of the food is supreme and waiters Walter and Monica gave us an amazing service and awesome recomendations. We will come back the next time we visit Berlin! Gracie mille!!

Well, time has told… this place is one of Berlins best. One word: quality. To get this level of service and authenticity in Germany… is RARE. ELEGANCE. Generous staff. Great cocktails and wine pairings. If you want to impress a date or host some friends out of town for a nice dinner, make this your spot. Sale e Tabacchi… grazie mille 🤌💋

I had such a good time! I got invited there as a thank you - never been to such a high end restaurant. I have some restrictions food wise (can't have Milk protein) and I never felt better taken care of and like the staff is really looking out for me. They even called in advance to talk to me about the options and what is possible. Everyone was super attentive and friendly and the atmosphere is warm and relaxed. I loved the food!! Everything was incredibly tasty and there were combinations that just broadened my food horizon. I have no actual comparison on this level, but my company did and they thought the food was outstanding as well. So all over, if you want to do something special, you won't do wrong here ♡

There are no words that can describe this experience. It was our first time at any of the Tim‘s restaurants and we were blown away. Food was delicious, with such a clear back story. Each bite was a small taste explosion. The thing that surprised us the most was how attentive the staff was. Always with a smile, and always few steps ahead of us. Chapeau to the whole team!

A little disappointed to be honest. There was no clear restaurant manager taking charge of the dining room. The restaurant lacked service and direction from the staff. We got the sense the staff were cold towards each other and didn’t want to be there. There was clearly too many staff working for the amount of customers, so it was awkward seeing them trying to stay busy but at the same time not actually doing anything…It was very bizarre. The vegan menu was ok at best. The standout dish was the carrot with wasabi and also the planted steak. I’d recommend swapping the planted chicken with something else if you have the option, it was a bit dry. Overall, the chefs are clearly talented but the experience was underwhelming due to the staffing issues.

Our experience started great, starters very very cool, great presentation and amazing tastes. Unfortunately, along the way, especially with the main dishes all of us felt that it was overly salty (2 people had koi menu and 2 people kolibri) and this really impacted our experience. Petite fours were unfortunately big disappointment as well. Service was fine but lacked attentiveness and not what I would have expected from 2 michelin stars service. I would certainly be curious to come for a different menu in the future

I’m not sure exactly why, but perhaps because my expectations were so high, I wasn’t really impressed. The food was great (so 5 stars for food) and the service was okay. It felt a bit too ordinary for what I had hoped would be a more memorable experience. I think I need to try it again to form a clearer opinion, as I have mixed feelings for now. Something was missing so I will give this restaurant another shot.

I was happily surprised. Probably one of the best meats I had in Berlin. I was tired of asking for medium rare meats and getting almost well done ones. They delivered it exactly as requested. Besides, the service was great and very friendly. They had a big selection of wine as well. I asked to change my fries to potato puree and it was a great idea. Everything was delicious! We also had desserts that were very tasty as well!
Alessandra V. - 2 months ago

The food was delicious, but the mussels were too salty. When we mentioned it, they kindly offered us a replacement, but we had already finished our meal. In the end, they gave us a complimentary crème brûlée, which was a lovely gesture. I recommend this place!

A nice dinner with family. Great service, nice ambience and wonderful food. They recommended beef, but we had the chance to try fish and it was well done

A good French restaurant that we visited twice. The food was good and the services were excellent! It gave a good French feel. The first time we went there without booking. We sat in the most inner section of the restaurant. It was hot (high 20C) and there was no air condition. When the other guests left, the atmosphere became cold. We reserved a table for the second time. We sat in the front section and the atmosphere was excellent. The waiters were very friendly and attentive. Recommended!

Summary: excellent meat quality of the perfectly seasoned entrecôte with excellent service in a nice French brasserie ambience Best dish: entrecôte with vegetables and Pommes allumettes Dishes (- negative / = ok / + positive): + entrecôte with vegetables and Pommes allumettes for €33 + perfectly seasoned entrecôte. Great meat quality: very tender and juicy, with nice tender pieces of fat; only negative I ordered it rare and this was on the edge, more medium to medium-rare + well-seasoned vegetables with a nice bite + crispy and very tasty Pommes allumettes (very thin French fries); I opted for this side instead of the gratin + complementary French baguettes Service: + very attentive + very friendly French waiter Price: + somewhat high price for great value, but I’m more than happy to spend on an excellent experience and high quality food Atmosphere: + nice French background music + nice French brasserie atomosphere = upscale for business meetings or a nice dinner out with friends My rating system - I focus on the food first and foremost. I aim to be truthful and try not to be biased by friendly service or other circumstances. 5*: excellent - I am rigorous in handing out 5* ratings 4*: good 3*: ok 2*: bad 1*: terrible

Very nice unassuming place with fantastic steaks at a reasonable price. Both rib eye and the sirloin steaks were cooked to perfection. Grilled on the outside and tender & red on the inside. Would definitely go there again despite it being slightly off the beaten track. What a great find!

The food at this place was great. We had the combo dinner (lomo) and a wine pairing. The steak was perfectly cooked and the side dishes and starters were very nice. Only the desert was a bit of a disappointment after all the greatness. It was good but different then what I expected based on the menu description.

Exceptional service from Pablo and Marvin! The atmosphere and food were amazing. They have a very good red wine selection as well. A good place to impress a date.

Pablo is a super nice guy, the restaurante sector needs more people like him. He put every member of our family in a really good mood. The food was also super good and tasty. Tank you for this lovely experience

La Via del Muro is a beautiful spot with a lovely ambiance. The decor is charming, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The appetizers were definitely the highlight of the evening. The Frutti di Mare soup was rich, packed with seafood, and full of deep, comforting flavors, by far the standout dish of the night. The Burrata with pesto was fresh, creamy, and generously portioned, while the shrimp pil-pil bruschetta had the perfect balance of garlic and spice. However, there was a long wait between the appetizers and the mains, which was a bit frustrating. Once the main courses arrived, they didn’t quite live up to the high expectations set by the appetizers. The carbonara was good and the best main, the Frutti di Mare pasta was decent but lacked a stronger seafood flavor. The entrecôte was tiny, and the tenderloin was cooked beyond the medium I requested. The herb butter was underwhelming, lacking the herbal punch I was hoping for, almost like plain butter. The service was friendly, and the waiter was pleasant, but I personally don’t like when some dishes are cleared before everyone has finished eating. We didn’t try the pizzas, but they looked fantastic, and every table that ordered them seemed to really enjoy them. They have a sign on each table offering a surprise for leaving a Google review, which could explain their high rating.

Came here during the Berlinale film festival when we were craving pasta and this place DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Lovely, warm staff with quick service despite not having reservation. The atmosphere is very romantics, with a warm jazz, elegant vibe. Would definitely recommend to all !!

I was looking for a good brick oven, thin crust, pizza.This place had an extra bonus. They had one made with truffle oil. They have indoor and outdoor seating and have a full bar. The place has dim lighting and good music. The bathrooms are located in the downstairs.It got busy very fast when they opened up at 5 PM and the service was still exceptional. There’s a plaque on the table with a QR code. You could download the restaurant menu into your phone for your convenience. It was a great pleasure to celebrate and have a happy birthday with Dan and his wife, Helen.

5 of us came in for dinner and the service really was great and the food was delicious, no long waiting between courses which is exactly what I expect when I eat out. Will be back when we are next back in Berlin, the service Garda gave us is top notch, perfect example of attentive service and nothing was a trouble.

Nice place with a great Staff — I am specially happy with the service of Napoli. We arrived without a reservation, and they fixed a table for us. A lot of people, and nice atmosphere in the restaurant.

The best place in Berlin if you’re looking for affordable sushi, especially during happy hour when there’s a discount for combo sushi. The sushi is fresh, the menu has plenty of options, and it tastes good. The service is fast. The restaurant’s interior is so-so and feels busy since it’s always crowded whenever I visit. Expect a long queue if you come during lunchtime.

Great sushi place! One of the best in its price class in Berlin. I love going there for lunch
Dmitri Vasilik - a month ago

Ishin has an incredible selection of fresh sushi for an amazing price. The fish was very fresh and we had a delicious meal. They have a happy hour for the combo sushi like seen in one of the photos for a great price. Most days it is until 16:00 but on Wednesdays and Weekends, it is all day. It is my first time seeing such thing and I think it is amazing. The service is quick. One small thing - the quality of the chopsticks could be better! Overall, an amazing place to have some great sushi!
Artem Bakatov - 8 months ago

For the price paid, quite decent. You get 8 nigiris and 6 makis for 12€ during the happy hour: every Wednesday and Saturday whole day, other days - before 16:00. They are functioning here since long time so the place might feel run down, but it’s fine and doesn’t impact the food. Free matcha with water for every customer. Cash only as well.

Really friendly staff, good prices, nice atmosphere to watch euros too. The espresso martini was great. Croquetas were the highlight, super crunchy and melty

Its a nice place, food was nice. I ordered warm Tapas: Octopus, Calamari and Sardellen. Service was not so good, they looked very tired, demotivated. We were waiting for more than an hour for our food. It took also a while to get our desserts and they forgot to bring us one. To speak German and English was also not so easy.
Evgeniya Goryunova - a year ago

food was pretty good but gosh the service went downhill so fast. it was the same night as the marathon and they probably overbooked because the place was packed and we didn't get any attention outdoors. paella took longer than worth and asking 5 different people and times to pay gets to be frustrating
Arthur Chin - a year ago

Service was initially good, but towards the end of the meal became quite poor. I asked for a coffee with cream three times with no luck. When I said cancel the coffee and bring the bill, the bill & the coffee arrived - but no cream. When I complained I was told they had no cream - this is a restaurant that sells cream-based desserts, so I guess they must buy those in, not make them in house. The waitress brought hot milk, which was acceptable, but it would have been better to do that at the beginning, rather that just ignore my request. Other than that the place is OK. The baby squid in particular was excellent.

We had a great time. The food, the sangria, the service, everything was good. We watched the Eurocup game Spain versus Georgia and we had a great time. The atmosphere was great. We strongly recommend Barcelona Tapas Restaurant in Berlin.

We had a quick meal after our walking tour and it was perfect! Wicked nice staff, great service and the food was amazing! I even asked to substitute the rice or fries on my dish for a baked potato and the waitress just smiled and nodded yes. If I was living in Berlin I would come here all the time! Thank you for an amazing meal!

Great atmosphere with lively music, but not too loud that you can't hear each other. Comfortable seating. Well patronized, which is always a comfort when you're visiting a new restaurant. This seems to be more a German fusion than actual Caribbean food. I was expecting dishes that were more flavorful, especially the meat options.

Hip looking cafe that is a great option for breakfast or break time. It is nicely decorated for some selfie time as well. Staff are really friendly too. Outdoor seating is available for people watching 😛 Free wifi is available as well. However, the washroom is 50 euro cents thou.

They promise hot products, but everything we bought (2 sandwiches ) was ice cold. Plus the self-service machines didn't work either. The place didn't put us at ease.

The food is great and the prices are good, but the staff is terrible. I asked for my sandwich to be toasted, a service they do provide, and the employee was visibly annoyed, saying: “I’ll go home” to one of her colleagues.

Good prices. Good choice on tasty baked goods. There is also an express checkout that scans your items on the plate and shows it in the screen. You can pay there without talking to anyone 😁

We were really hungry when we ordered food here. We ordered 2 mixed platter meat. It was 10 euro for each plate. The food was really tasty and the portions were perfect. We will definitely come here again. If you like authentic Arabic Food, I suggest you must try the mixed platter meat here.

Nondescript eatery serving delicious Middle Eastern cuisine with fresh ingredients. Lots of options available. There are also options for chicken if you don't take beef. Portions are generous and service efficient. They also have vegetarian options and I believe they are as delicious as the non veg options. Washroom is also clean and well-maintained. Situated opposite the road from Topography of Terror. Worthy to check out for a meal. Highly recommend the chicken shawarma. It was my first time eating that and it was delectable. 👍👍👍 Note that they only accept cash for tourists though.

Very nice orient restaurant. Not fancy, more for daily food, but really delicious, fresh food, falafel made at the moment, high quality ingredients, very kind service, interesting drinks and friendly atmosphere. One of the few places left where you can eat well for a decent price. Sandwiches are 6€ and a good portion, plates around 10€. Happy to be back, it has stayed consistently good over the years.
