L'Osteria Berlin Humboldthafen

It was a great place for Italian food and tucked away from the main road.
Though, if you decide to visit I recommend booking a table in advance! The restaurant can be extremely busy even for early diners. Whilst the food and decor are remarkable, the ambience is not so much! It's extremely loud, and one would struggle to have a conversation without feeling the need to shout! The music doesn't help.
It's highly energetic and fast-paced! Personally, I feel it ruins the experience.
The restaurant is upmarket however you feel rushed to eat and leave. The staff are brilliant and very friendly considering they are rushed off of their feet.
I hope their remuneration is generous as they remain attentive despite the craziness. I'd probably suggest the restaurant to be suitable for solo, large groups, friends or families.
May be reconsider if you have young children or want a romantic evening dinner.

Nice place, love the view with trains passing, great Italian food and service is friendly! When we were there the place was packed so it took some time to get the food but besides this, everything great!

Lovely welcoming restaurant.
Really helpful with somewhere to put our luggage as we’d just arrived at Hauptbahnhof on the train.
Our waiter came to check on us but we’d almost finished so even if there had been any issues, I’m not sure it would have been solvable… But having said that the food was lovely.
My pizza was huge and definitely worth the money.
When we asked if there was a children’s option our waiter was helpful and said a smaller pizza could be made for our 3 year old which was perfect.
I tried the Still Cherry Lemonade.
It was a bit too sweet even for my monster sweet tooth.
Would have loved to have stayed for dessert but we had to get to our hotel.
Maybe on another visit I’ll have space for dessert!
