Il moro — Restaurant in Berlin

Went here for dinner on a weekday. The service, a young woman, was very friendly and attentive. She’s great! The restaurant has a cozy and charming vibe. Prices are fair, and the menu is not inflated. The owner/chef is aggressive and rude!!

We had pasta alla norma, which was very good (!), and a Gourmet Salad, which was very disappointing, since it was very small and consisted mostly of ice Berg Salat and carrots, one rolled up eggplant stripe, one rolled up squash stripe, bits of mozzarella and tomatoes. Not gourmet, not filling for 12€. As a starter we ordered Caponata which is supposed to come with foccacia according to their menu. Price is quite high with 15€ (!). The dish was served with the caponata being stuffed in a regular sourdough bun and the portion was tiny tiny tiny considering the price. We send the dish back since we ordered it with Foccacia. Then this happened, which is the reason for our rating:

The owner and chef of the place came out aggressive and angry and pushed us to take the dish since „it’s on the menu like this“ which is kindly explained and showed it’s not. Only before he said „it’s the same dough like a foccacia“ biggest lol ever. And „we’re out of foccacia“. How can an Italian compare a sourdough bun with a foccacia based on some similar ingredients? The worst was the tone of the guy and how aggressive he was in front of lots of other guest. He could have instead offered free olives or an Arranchini or so and solved the situation in the interest of his guests. But instead he made us feel super uncomfortable and ruined the vibe. Flipping over this complaint? You’re in the wrong business…

Not recommended after all because of...

The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and really nice. We got AL RAGÙ and pasta Alla Norma. Both of them were tasty. We picked this restaurant because they were part of the Berlin pasta week. Unfortunately, they didn't apply the discount and although we said we were there for the pasta week, nobody told us that not all pastas and wine were included in the selection. At the end, we had to pay nearly double of what we were suppose to pay. That was really disappointing for us because we made it clear in...

Il Moro now has to be one of my top pizza restaurants in Berlin!

We had three pizzas Margherita, Buffalo Mozzarella and pizza of the day which was gorgonzola, mozzarella, burratta, mortadella and pistachio sprinkled over the top ( if you don't have it on menu ask for it as an off menu item) which was totally see decedent and rich .

Wine was a good range, try the Rose which was super delicious and good pairing with the pizza.

Staff are super nice,...
