Everything worth knowing

At Kreuzbergstraße 71, 10965 Berlin, in the Kreuzberg district, on the quiet side of Viktoriapark. The restaurant isn't on the street: you come in through the gate with the green sign, and the courtyard is behind the building. It's about a ten-minute walk from Mehringdamm U-Bahn station and about twelve from Platz der Luftbrücke.

We're open every day, from 12:00 to midnight, public holidays included. The kitchen stays open for the whole service, so you can eat in the afternoon or late at night too.

It isn't required, but it is recommended — especially Thursday to Sunday and on any summer evening, when the courtyard fills up early. You can book on this site or call +49 (30) 5779 2999.

Because it changes every day. We buy fish and vegetables fresh in the morning and decide the dishes based on what arrives. The day's menu is written on the blackboard at the entrance, and we'll talk you through it at the table. The constants — pizza, house-made pasta, fresh fish, grilled meat, vegetarian and vegan dishes — are always there.

Italian cooking, without reinvention. Pizza, pasta rolled in house every day, fresh fish, grilled meat, Italian antipasti and desserts. The wine is Italian, chosen region by region.

Yes, always — and not as an afterthought: seasonal vegetables are at the centre of a good part of the daily menu. Mention it when you sit down and we'll tell you every option available that day, often more than the written ones.

We do not make gluten-free pizza. If you have an allergy or an intolerance, tell us when you book or at the table and we will be straight with you about what we can serve you that day and what we can't.

Yes, and it's the main reason people come here. We have a tree-filled inner courtyard (the Hof), a summer garden, and a covered, heated winter garden that lets you sit outside almost all year.

Very. In the courtyard children play while the adults stay at the table; there are high chairs and portions made for them. In the afternoons and on Sundays the Hof is full of families from the neighbourhood.

Yes, well-behaved dogs are welcome in the courtyard and the outdoor gardens. We'll happily bring a bowl of water.

Yes. The winter garden suits groups of up to fifty, and for weddings or larger parties the whole courtyard can be taken exclusively for up to two hundred and fifty. Write to info@osteria-uno.eu with the date, the number of people and the kind of occasion.

We're a neighbourhood trattoria, not a special-occasion restaurant: mid-range prices. You can eat a pizza with a glass of wine, or have the full run of antipasto, pasta, main course and dessert.

Yes, we accept the major credit and debit cards as well as cash.

There's free street parking on Kreuzbergstraße and the side streets, though finding a space at peak times takes patience. In the evening the U-Bahn is easier: U6 and U7 at Mehringdamm, U6 at Platz der Luftbrücke.

You fill in the form on this site and see a summary straight away. The restaurant checks availability and confirms in a separate email, usually the same day; the table is yours only with that confirmation. For tonight, or for large groups, calling +49 (30) 5779 2999 is quicker.

Yes. An assistant can fill in the booking form for you or, if it supports connectors, send the request straight to our reservation service (the technical details are at osteria-uno.eu/llms.txt). The same rule applies: it's a request, and the table is confirmed only by the restaurant's email.
