Antica Roma Restaurant — Restaurant in Berlin

The food in general was okay, nothing too bad nor too special. Location is very nice.

However, the service: I understand if people are having a bad day, but that does not mean they are entitled to ruin other's good expirience. The waitress (which was probably the owner) was extremely impolite and rude from the start. She did not let us feel welcome at all in her restaurant (in contrast to the other employees). Then we asked to pay like 3 or 4 times and had to wait for 15 minutes. Then when I wanted to pay with card, she told me it's not possible unless I have a bill as high as 20 euros. This she said because she didn't want to get the card reader from the inside. This was utterly unprofessional and disgusting behavior from an establishment which apparently has decent reviews. If you are thinking whether to got here or not - don't - there are better and more polite places to eat all over Berlin. In the end, I thanked her "for the unpleasant expirience" and she replied sarcastically and very bitchy.

The 2 star review is die to the food being of an average...

We were forced to eat a dish we hadn't ordered. We were served by a brunette woman on 26th september at 1.15 pm (not the blonde one). I ordered the Pappardelle allo Scoglio pointing with my finger the name of the dish in the menu. Then, she brought Spaghetti aglio e olio e peperoncino. I told her that was not my dish, and she said I said Spaghetti aglio e olio e peperoncino, I told her I didn't even mention the name of the dish because of the language barrier, I told her it was one with seafood. She brought the menu, and when she saw the name of the dish I had ordered, she kept thinking for three seconds and told me again you said Spaghetti aglio e olio e peperoncino. I gave up and ate the cheapest dish in the menu, completely tasteless.

The first time this happened to me in...

Food was not particularly tasteful though I suppose it could be more or less credited to the fact that the restaurant was being flooded with customers. Regardless, the pizza that I received seemed to have been undercooked as the dough lacked any crisp to it, more, fat was all around the plate and I can assure you that the pizza was not even remotely close to passing the tissue test. What was great though was the staff, everyone seemed to be cheerful and friendly. Prices are also great granted the location of the restaurant as you are literally able to get a pizza for 15€ right in front of the KaDeWe. I will probably give the restaurant a second go to see if the food has improved any bit. Also for the love of God please do start slicing the pizza...
