Osteria Ribaltone
Traditional Italian osteria on Victoria-Louise-Platz: wide menu, an old Vespa in the window and famiglia photographs covering the walls.
Osteria Ribaltone is a Italian restaurant in Schöneberg, priced 20–60 €. Open Mon-Sun 17:00-23:00.
On Victoria-Louise-Platz in Schöneberg, an osteria plays traditional Italian cooking across its full breadth: pasta, meat, fish and vegetables share the same menu, and the place holds a settled reputation in the city.
An old Vespa stands in the shop window, red-checked tablecloths cover the tables, and the walls are crowded with photographs of la famiglia. The kitchen leans northern Italian and shifts with the seasons: spaghetti with truffle, served out of a parmesan wheel, sits among the most-mentioned plates, alongside calamari on a lukewarm lentil salad. In summer, guests sit under the red awning facing the square — Schöneberg at its best.
