Make sure you make a reservation. Food not the cheapest one but you have to pay for quality. Staff always accommodating. Will be back again soon if I can get a table.
Greatly enjoyed the food at Davini. It’s literally a hidden gem, providing high quality Italian food. They have proven how good “simple Italian” food can and should actually taste!
It should be called “Pasta Divino” because the food is divine!
I loved the lamb ragout!!
The setting is like a living room and you’ll need to reserve well in advance.
The only improvement would be to replace the few folding chairs with some better, proper chairs.

Finally, I found real authentic Spaghetti Carbonara in Germany. The egg and cheese will only be added by the service right at the table, for the most flavourful and creamy taste. In general, the food is off the charts.
Did it take some time to make a reservation here? Absolutely, I had to call about 15 times to finally get someone on the phone and then wait another 4 weeks because they are fully booked most of the times.
Was the service the fastest in the world? By no means, but that makes the experience here, it's not supposed to be a restaurant were you only stay 60-75min. And to be fair, most restaurants shouldn't be like that.
Was it a bit more pricey? Maybe.
But: every single dish is prepared with lots of passion and love, which you can feel and taste. The waiters were really kind and knew their cuisine and wines.
It was absolutely worth the wait!
If I may add some small points of improvement, we had to wait a little over 30min for our dessert and Espresso, which even for us was a bit long and the Espresso was not all thay good. But these are minor points, the restaurant is highly recommended!

Absolutely delicious. Very courteous staff. The owner of the restaurant explained to us when we were seated that his wife makes all the pasta. It's made to order. You can pick from their special dishes or pick your pasta then pick your sauce and extra. Everything we ordered was delicious. A little on the pricey side, but it's handmade gourmet pasta and worth it.
The quality is awesome! Loved the food, the boss is a great, she’s friendly and welcoming. Very long waiting times for food in between courses - yet everything is prepared right on the spot - bring some time and spend the whole evening there :)
Don't know where to start. Food is great, the service is awkwardly unique:
It's a very small restaurant. Reservation is needed! The restaurant is open from 17:30. You'll be sitting in an actual italian living room with a working washing machine across the hall. THERE IS NO MENU, AND THE PRICES AREN'T VISIBLE. Bring a lot of patience with you, as service doesn't run like in a normal restaurant. The charming lady owner will serve you personally and explain the menu from memory. We've waited 50 min. for appetisers and then about 60 min. for the main course. Nobody seemed to care. The whole idea is for you to spend your ENTIRE evening there.
THE FOOD IS GREAT!
Everything is fresh! Made from scratch and with love. Appetisers include the italian classics. The main course is pasta or gnocchi. Some 9 dishes to choose from. Portions aren't big, but with an unlimited amount of baguette with some tasty olive oil you are not leaving hungry.
The restaurant suits vegetarians!
THE PRICES: All prices are an approximation, as you don't get even a receipt at the end:
Bottle of Primitivo - 30€
Glass of wine -7€
Bottle of water - 10€
Appetiser+main course - 25€ (?)
The three of us paid 122€ all together

Overpriced, overrated. Don't get me wrong, the food is good, like you can find in Italy. But they try to pass it off as very fancy, when it isn't. Moreover, they very purposely only have an oral menu, to make it seem exclusive and to avoid you realising things like water costs 7€. Inside, it's very nice, as they've occupied the ground floor of two apartments.
I enjoyed my meal but I won't be back.
