This upscale restaurant on the far western end of Kurfürstendamm is one of the best-kept Italian secrets in Berlin. You won't find any tourists here: the posh neighborhood's residents pack the cheerful, rustic dining room. The high-quality, straightforward cooking yields incredibly fresh salads and appetizers (the bruschetta, for example, undoubtedly has the juiciest tomatoes in town), homemade breads, and exquisite pasta recipes. More refined Tuscan and Umbrian creations might utilize wild boar, but also encompass Mediterranean fish classics such as grilled loup de mer or dorade. In warm weather, reserve a sidewalk table on Ku'damm to watch people at Francucci's and on the boulevard.
