We had a wonderful night last week at the newly opened Italian restaurant Cecconi’s in Mitte. Opened in January 2016, they offer everything a great restaurant should – delicious food, amazing service and a vibrant, buzzing ambience. It’s really hard to choose a favorite dish to recommend, as everything was so perfectly cooked, but the fish carpaccio and the baby artichokes were delicious, while the rich meatballs felt like they were made right in the heart of Italy. However, my absolute favorite was the veal Milanese, sprinkled with Maldon salt and sage leaves. The meat came whole on the bone and tasted like a buttery heaven; the best so far that I’ve had here in Berlin. Finally, make sure you order a Spring Bellini made from Aperol, peach purée, Collet Champagne and soda water for an aperitif when you arrive, and start the evening as you mean to go on!
