essenza Leipziger Straße 125 GmbH — Restaurant in Berlin

An amazing restaurant in one of the most beautiful areas in Berlin.

Starting with the decoration and atmosphere, it really is quite nice to look at. I went a first time with coworkers and I found the interior to be of superior design, extremely unique.

I went a second time in the summer time and realized they also had a terrace in the back, which is also great.

I hope you realize that this...

The atmosphere was incredible. The design was lovely, with outstanding attention to details. Food was literally incredible! Spaghetti aglio and olio with prawns were the kings of our table. One of my guests (from Ferrara, Italy) said: "it seems needed to go to Berlin to find a perfect pasta. Service was spot on, Giuseppe on top, such an incredible worker, funny, very professional, and competent, always smiling Highly...
