I have been to Lamuri a dozen times, at least, and really like the place. The premises is gorgeous, the staff are mostly friendly, and food is good. Typically, the experience is not outstanding, but it's pretty good.
Unfortunately, last time we visited, there were a couple of unforced errors that prompted me to leave a 4 star review. First, the plates weren't warmed so the food was basically cold. Second, while I was made aware that our booking was between 6 and 8pm (something that was fine with me and I agreed to), we were literally hassled out a full twenty minutes before 8. All we wanted was to finish our (10 euro!!) glasses of wine.
Third, and this is a personal pet peeve, once our plates were cleared after the entree, we were told to hold on to our cutlery. We took our dirty cutlery and put them in the only place we could - on the table.
I hate when restaurants ask customers to do this, but I think it's particularly strange and unacceptable for a restaurant like Salumeria Lamuri, who is unquestionably charging premium prices. I am super happy to pay premium prices, but I do expect a thoughtful experience, which doesn't include dirty cutlery on the table, cold food, and being kicked off our table unceremoniously early.
Having said all of that, it sure beats 99% of the restaurants in Berlin, so it's still well...

Read moreBeautiful, cosy restaurant in a former butcher shop with original tiles in the walls. We had a very small bistro style round table at the wall where it was freezing cold. The menue was hand-written on a chalk board. Very limited choice between 5 starters, four Mains, two desserts looked promising. But for bread with olive oil they charged €3,50. Bread was fluffy and crisp, but olive oil not impressive at all. Kind of watery. The vitello tonati for €12,50 was delicious and the only Item worth the money. The linguine for €19,50 with overcooked green asparagus, some burrata and shrimps was tasty but nothing special. The Tiramisu at €6,50 was in a tiny water glass and not...
