L'Osteria del Parlamento — Restaurant in Berlin

I would give 100000 star if I could.

Food: the shrimp ravioli is the best I ravioli have ever tried. I’m not over exaggerating at all. I’m sincere. Maybe I haven’t got enough Italian food but I enjoy every bite of it and I even use the bread to clean the plate. Maybe also because I’m too hungry. Or because they make me feel so comfy and home feeling so I can eat more. I usually don’t need to eat too much to feel full. But yesterday I basically cleaned the plate. Brownie with vanilla ice cream is great!! I won’t say it’s the best I have ever had (had an amazing one in Zurich last year, but they such at every other dish I tried , so) but that’s not the point. The point is it goes so well as a dessert when u finish all the heavy stuff. Only wish there could be more ice cream, otherwise without the ice cream, the portion of the brownie could be too much for someone like me who doesn’t eat too much dessert. cuz I don’t usually eat too much sweet. But, I also finished it all!! That’s what people do when they feel like home and happy! I asked them what’s their favorite and both the cousin and mom recommended this one to me. They didn’t lie. It was perfecto!

Im here to visit only and didn’t know what to expect before I come in. But they are supreme not just in food, but their service, their atmosphere and most importantly, they make sure you feel like home!

It’s a Sicily family owned authentic Italian restaurant. special menu has the great taste. Best that I have ever tried. But you guys live in Europe so I won’t want to raise your expecting too high. But it’s really really good. Just personal experience.

I saw another closer Italian restaurant zoe first, but they turn me away saying it’s too late to order(google map said they close at 11pm tho when I asked around 9:30ish) then i have to search another one instead. I ask if they are closing or if it’s too late to eat now. They say Nono ofc not. They say they never let customer go back home with empty stomach. And recommended good food, provide good seat, even made customized sauce substitution for me cuz I prefer red sauce over white one. And they let me eat till all the customers are gone. the Ravioli is my so far best ravioli experience ever. But it’s just me.

My credential: Chinese girl, 19years in China, 14 years in the United States mostly west coast. Stockholm and Europe for 15months roughly. I prefer Asian food in general. Not so into sweet and cheese. But pasta and pizza is what I like to eat among all other fancy fine dining or western food. And this is the best Italian food I have ever tried. But their kindness and welcoming vibe is what set them apart tbh. And how I feel when I eat matters the most.

Anyway, I haven’t write serious review for quite a long time cuz I’m way lazy. But I want to write this to help people know what to expect and also thank them for the kindness.

I like this neiborhood even more because of them, and I feel very satisfied going home that night. It was a long day for me and that’s the only meal I have that day. And they really made my day. For that I’ll be grateful forever :)

Thank you for the treat and great food!...

Mixed experiences here, which would make me hesitant to recommend it.

First visit, we had great food, friendly service, and would have left a 5 star review.

Second (attempted) visit. We waited to be seated, with the two waiters both saying they'd be with us in a moment. After 5 minutes, I went inside and both servers looked up and walked into the kitchen. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I can only assume they felt understaffed, but ultimately we decided to move on somewhere else.

Our third and most recent visit we went as friends from out of town had been recommended to visit by a family member. Service was very friendly, but they did forget one of the dishes ordered. It was rectified within 10 minutes, but still not ideal.

Overall, the food is good, and reasonably priced, and if it's not busy I expect you could have a good experience. That being said, there's other options in the area that I'd recommend over this, and only go to L'Osteria...

Wir wohnen seit 37 Jahren im Prenzlauer Berg und haben dieses Restaurant noch nie besucht. Jetzt aber war es so weit, für einen Besuch. Der Anlass war unser Hochzeitstag. Wir bestellten uns das Gericht Saltimbocca alla Romana für 22,90 EUR (gebratene „Schweinefiletmedaillons umwickelt“ mit Scheiben von luftgetrockneten Schinken und frischen Salbei in einer Butterweißweinsoße serviert mit Rosmarinkartoffeln und Tagesgemüse). Leider war das Essen eine Katastrophe und Betrug am Gast. Das Verhältnis zwischen Preis und Leistung waren absolut nicht angemessen.

Gründe: Das Essen war von schlechter Qualität, geschmacklos und eine etwas zu kleine Portion. Die Teller waren nicht angewärmt, das Essen kam lauwarm an den Tisch, demzufolge kühlte das Essen auch sehr schnell aus. Die Schweinefiletmedaillons waren keine Medaillons, sondern nur flachgeklopfte Schweinescheiben (die sehr trocken waren) mit daraufgelegten sehr salzigen Schinken. Von Schweinefiletmedaillons mit umwickelten Schinken, wie in der Speisekarte beschrieben, war es sehr weit entfernt. Die Butterweinsoße war sehr versalzen (und ich esse schon sehr salzig), dadurch schmeckte man den „frischen“ Salbei nicht. Ich vermute die Soße war ein eingekauftes Convenience-Produkt, d. h. Fertigprodukt ohne jeglichen Geschmack. Das Tagesgemüse bestand aus Bohnen (die waren fast roh, ungesalzen und geschmacklos), einem Broccoliröschen, drei kleinen Möhrübenscheibchen und vier kleine Stückchen Champignons aus der Dose. Die vier Hälften Rosmarinkartöffelchen waren keine, denn es fehlte der Rosmarin. Ich machte den Kellner darauf aufmerksam, er erkundigte sich in der Küche und kam mit der Aussage wieder: ja das ist ebenso ohne Rosmarin. Was am Rande des Tellers die billige Balsamico Creme sein sollte, keine Ahnung. Braucht kein Mensch, das war einmal in den siebziger Jahren angesagt.

Das Ambiente und der Service (Kellner wirkte etwas aufgesetzt, typisch italienisch) waren gut.

Unser Fazit: Wir können uns leider den positiven Bewertungen nicht anschließen, eher den Negativen. Berlin hat bessere italienische Restaurants – dieses gehört definitiv nicht dazu. Keine gute italienische Küche, Besuch einmal und nie wieder. Schade! Für uns noch nicht mal ein Stern wert. Saltimbocca alla Romana ist ein typisch italienisches Gericht, das aus Kalbsschnitzel besteht. Warum dann Schweinefiletmedaillons, was bei unserem Gericht noch nicht mal auf den Teller kam. Ich will doch original italienisch Essen. Wenn dieses Gericht „Saltimbocca alla Romana“ das italienische Restaurant nicht zubereiten kann, dann sollte man dieses Gericht von der...
