My daughter and I had just arrived in Berlin... and got lost on our way to our Airbnb! I spotted Don Giovanni on the corner of a pretty, leafy street and we decided to grab lunch there and call a taxi afterwards. We were lucky to find DG, and it was just opening for the day. We explained our situation to the hostess and were told to park our suitcases wherever we liked and make ourselves comfortable - they could not have been kinder or more welcoming to two tired and lost travelers' who had just arrived to Berlin. My daughter ordered their margheritta pizza and it was a work of art - a beautiful, airy, lightly golden crust with large dollops of creamy, melty mozzarella on a rich, deep red sauce with fresh basil. It was absolutely the PRETTIEST pizza I have ever seen. My daughter ate every bite of it and said it was "AWESOME - really, really good." I wanted to try a typically German meal and ordered their weinerschnitzel. It was tender on the inside and light and crispy on the outside. I squeezed the fresh lemon all over it, and it was so good. I opted for a green salad with it instead of fries. and it was very fresh and crispy with a creamy but light dressing that was very flavorful. Thus satiated and too full for dessert, we said our thanks and found that a taxi had been called and was waiting to take us to our Airbnb in the Mitte district. Thank you, Don Giovanni for your utmost kindness, delicious food, and very warm welcome to your beautiful and exciting city....

Throughout the meal, he repeatedly hovered near our table, making impatient noises and gesturing to his coworkers as if complaining about us. This happened multiple times, despite the restaurant being nearly empty (only two tables occupied) and it being just 9 PM, with a closing time of midnight. When we finally asked if there was a problem, he brushed us off with a bad attitude. To top it off, the bill included an automatic tip we didn’t agree to. We questioned this, explaining our awful experience, but he denied everything. We paid it reluctantly, but this service was absolutely...
Read moreThe taste of the food was okay, but the waiters do not understand, do not want to know or does not care about how Asian people like sharing their food together. They were very grumpy about giving us 2 more sets of cutleries and 2 small bowls because we wanted to share the food. Please note that all of us have ordered one dish from the menu properly. Also, I heard that they were very unhappy about us staying in the restaurant for more than 1.5 hour, provided that the restaurant was not busy at all and was only half full. We will never come back to this restaurant again as this is the first time I feel pressure from a consistent gaze from waiters which made us very uncomfortable, and it even affected...
