Vino e Basilico

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Cucina Italiana in the Heart of Berlin

Since 2016, Vino e Basilico has been bringing genuine Italian cooking to Tucholskystraße in Berlin Mitte, under the ownership of Francesco Comi. The premise is straightforward: high-quality Italian cuisine served in a space that feels friendly, cosy, and alive — without pretension.

A Room Worth Visiting

The atmosphere at Vino e Basilico is described, in the restaurant's own words, as amichevole, accogliente e dinamica — friendly, welcoming, and dynamic. It is the kind of place that earns return visits not through spectacle but through consistency and warmth. A separate private room is available for lunch or dinner, making it a considered choice for private parties and group events alongside its regular à la carte service.

Recognised Quality

Gambero Rosso, Italy's most authoritative food and wine guide, awarded Vino e Basilico a fork — a mark of recognition that places this Berlin Mitte Italian among a select group of restaurants outside Italy meeting the guide's standards. For a ristorante italiano operating in a city with no shortage of options, that kind of independent endorsement carries weight.

Lunch, Dinner, and Daily Specials

The menu spans lunch and dinner, with daily specials — tagesempfehlungen — rounding out the offer. The wine list has its own dedicated section, fitting for a restaurant whose very name pairs wine and basil as equal partners.
