The story
Ristorante Il nuovo Primo anchors the Fontanepromenade strip with a measured approach to Italian cooking. The Schlemmer Atlas awarded this Berlin kitchen one spoon in its 2026 guide, citing consistent execution and a relaxed dining environment. Patrons gather around simple tables while chefs manage a compact service floor that prioritises steady pacing.
The Italian kitchen rotates its offerings through a changing weekly menu while keeping foundational recipes firmly in place. Guests regularly order the classic carbonara alongside lighter options like pan-seared scallops resting on avocado. These preparations highlight how the team adapts familiar techniques to whatever arrives fresh from local markets.
Sunlight fills the exterior patio when summer arrives, extending the main service area into the quiet street outside. Regular neighbours stop by for evening service while visitors follow the waterfront path toward the terrace. This steady routine keeps the cooks focused on reliable plating and traditional Italian cuisine.
