A True Italian Treasure in Berlin 🇮🇹✨
I’ve been to Cargo a few times now and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is warm and inviting — perfect for a cozy dinner or a relaxed night out 🍷🕯️ The starters are always a great way to begin. The antipasti board is beautifully prepared with high-quality ingredients 🧀🍯🥓 (even though I don’t eat meat, it looks amazing every time!) The pasta dishes are next-level! 🍝 From the slow-cooked Bolognese 37 to the unique Barixhain, everything is full of flavor and care. The vegan VEGANORMA is just as satisfying 🌿💚 And the lasagna?

The pumpkin lasagna was extremely dry and bland. I ate it mainly to have something in my stomach, not for the enjoyment. The restaurant itself had a nice rustic cargo theme but it was too small for the amount of tables and people they packed in. The air felt suffocating at times, had to go out for a break and get fresh air.
The staff were nice but very busy taking care of a lot of tables so it took a while to get their attention. All in all a below average experience, there’s tons of other better Italian...
