Between 19th to 25th November, 29 True Italian restaurants are offering authentic homemade pasta plus a drink for just 10EUR.
Those True Italian guys are at it again, bringing Berlin’s best Italian restaurants and bistros together to showcase their best dishes at an unbeatable special price. Their True Italian Pizza Week has been a must in the Berlin foodie calendar for two years straight now, and this time it’s the turn of homemade pasta to take the limelight.
The offer is simple: choose one of two pasta dishes especially picked for the week, choose a drink or glass of wine, and pay only 10EUR.
Here’s their Berlin map of True Italian pasta places:
To take part, you just need to go to one of the participating restaurants and ask for the True Italian menu. The restaurants, addresses and pasta menus are listed at the bottom of this article.
Pasta making at Gina Bistrot.
We were invited into the adorable Gina Bistrot on Zionskirschstrasse to get an inside look into how to make homemade pasta.
After chef Giuseppe helped us make a simple tagliatelle, we were then treated to tagliatelle alla ragu, basil pesto or truffle and wild mushrooms with our own homemade pasta. We’d done well.
Giuseppe then brought us the dishes Gino Bistrot will be offering during Berlin Homemade Pasta Week: homemade fusilli with turnip greens and burrata and homemade gnocchi with sausage ragout and pecorino cheese.
As it turns out, we had the perfect skills needed to make tagliatelle: we’ve experience in cutting powders together, weighing them with scales and then chopping them into lines. And so does the rest of Berlin.
