Fodor's Expert Review Da Baffi
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
At the quieter end of bustling Leopoldplatz, Da Baffi is a bright Italian light in Berlin. The interior is charming and casual, with white-painted wood, community tables, fresh wildflowers, and dish-towel placemats—all of which complement the fresh, seasonal menu, which is presented in a notebook and changes weekly. Favorites tend to stick around though, and that means the paper-thin octopus carpaccio and the aromatic tagliatelle with shaved black truffles are almost always available, along with cannelloni with wild boar ragout, or whole grilled fish stuffed with herbs and lemon. Hungry for Italian in Kreuzberg? Da Baffi's sister café Salumeria Lamuri (Köpenickerstr. 183) is open weekdays for breakfast and lunch.
