Osteria N°1 — Restaurant in Berlin

We visited here just over a week ago, having booked a table for 6pm. Unfortunately the restaurant was understaffed for the number of bookings that they had accepted and our meals were not delivered to our table until after 7.30pm, a wait of over one and a half hours. My pizza was absolutely delicious, but the other meals were not so great. My sister-in-law had waited over 90 minutes for a place of pasta with clams and it was a very small offering, approximately 6 tablespoons. The carbonara tasted 'off' and we should have complained, but didn't want to cause further issues for the already stressed staff who were trying to cope with the large number of visitors. On a positive note, the staff were very friendly and I witnessed them dealing with a small child who was very upset as their parents seemed to be ignoring her. The staff in question went off and got some colouring pencils and a book to keep the child occupied. Also, the outside garden area where we were seated was very pleasant. So, I had mixed opinions. I think the place has potential to be a good place to eat, depending...

Unfriendly waiter I went there with my 73 years old mother and she wanted to sit in a sunny spot. Even the whole restaurant was empty, the waiter told us in a very direct and unfriendly manner, that we have to change tables, because our table was for four persons, not for 2 ( Old dishes even where still on the table) BUT ALL OTHER TABLES WHERE EMPTY! I told him that if it does not please him to have guests, we can go and so we did. Not a single word of sorry or service to make us stay... - nothing! We then went 100m further to "Dolden Mädel Braugasthaus" and had a nice dinner and spent 70 bucks.. Well sorry, but nowadays bad service is a No-Go. Unbelievable arrogant, so we spent our money elsewhere. I will never ever go...

Went with 2 on a sundayevening and outside it was really not busy. Still it took a long while for the waiter/owner to take our order. He seemed friendly but never came to us to check about the food or anything. Again had to white a while for the food to ge there. The food wasnt bad, both had a pizza and were please with it. When going inside and indicating that Id pay with card the owner really wanted to mKe clear that the tip is in cash. I decided to not give a tip since the service wasnt good. The owner again said 'I said the tip is in cash' I still did not proceed to give a tip. When walking away the man started shouting i Italian and clapping cynically because we didnt leave a tip.

Would not...
