Petrarca Vinantipasteria - Berlin

This place was suggested by our AirBnB host, and since it was just around the corner, we gave it a try. it is quite small, a bit warm in this time of the year, but the greeting was also warm and efficient. the menu. is weighted on salad and wine, sorted by region, and a small selection of pasta. a common salad, pasta for two and a bottle decent sangiovese cost 80 euro. it felt all like a neighboring trattoria that was extended by the voluble Italian talk at the bar. not the best italian at all, but definitiw a step over the pizza 'n pasta places.

Petrarca is a small Italian restraurant, the server numerous antipasti that were excellent, and a small number of main concern that we did not try. no luxury here, but what they see is what they get. tiramisu was ok. cards were not accepted that one. inconvenience

Small square in a residential area with limited seating. but it was worth the walk there and we were in the early position to get a place before the midday crowd. there is no fixed menu apparently, and what you get is... what is written on the board, and on that day my wife, who had been careful to have Italian pasta in an Italian restaurant ended. we had no regrets, however, as eating was very good. the fried wild mushrooms with truffle oil on ruccola was delicious. the salate of fennel with orange and ingwer is not her typical salate, but well surprisingly with all taste directions that melt together well. they also enjoy the filled gnocchi with truffle oil. quite happy and pleasant meal.

Eating was good, but strange thing was that she ran several menu options option. we were reserved with a group of twelve and tables, so they would have expected better. even the tiramisu was limited. on the other side it was. a good restaurant.

We were lucky enough to stumble across from this little Italian, and I am very glad we did it was a great experience. Very friendly staff and tasty food, the best meal we had in Berlin. Its not obvious unless you are looking for...it we went for late lunch and nearly walked straight past the place!
