Uliveto

If you you are of the opinion that the amount of Italians frequenting a place is the best measurement of authenticity, Uliveto should be your go-​to destination for real Italian food. And in fact it is. Unbothered by hipsterism, yet undoubtedly modern, this little corner shop will resemble any busy tratoria that you will find in Bologna, Verona or Florance, but with a design twist.
Featuring a range of authenthic Italian dishes, Uliveto is in somewhere in between a sandwich shop (freshly made), take-​away tratoria (daily made), lunch place (they warm up the take-​away and) a shop (they have some really nice wines and foods). They’ll serve you real espresso (don’t expect filtered coffee here) and/​or wine during for lunch along side a number of Italian juices.
I used to work close to this place and frequent it quite a lot. Although the sandwiches are good, my favourite is in fact the warmed up take-​away food with a nice glass of wine (like the italians do). Although the take-​away menu changes regularily, there will almost always he a veal and a chicken dish somewhere there, as well as a frittata or vegetarian option. Also nice is the home-​made tiramisu (or sugar brick, as I like to call it), which tastes owerwhelming and delicious if you have the stomach for it (and not too many new-​years resolutions). Sharing is also an option:-). Additionaly (and expectadly), they also have a very decent collection of cold-​cut meats which is great for the afternoon snack to be shared with a nice glass of Chianti (and fava-​beans;-)).
Service is also very Italian (some of which also of Italian origin), meaning that you’ll probably have to the register every time you want to order something. In fact the only thing not authentic about this place are its prices, as it doesn’t come cheap. But in the end, what does come cheap at such a great location in the center of town.

great place, will go back again

Nice little place on the corner! They make a few dishes every day and you can eat it there or do take away. We haven’t eaten there, but have taken some food home. It’s pricey and adds up quickly, but the pumpkin risotto was very delicious and they customized the containers by adding some vegetables and other items we wanted to try.

Great food. Very nice people. A wonderful place for a casual lunch. But the 5 stars go to the TIRAMISU. The best I’ve ever had. My partner, who has been to Italy several times, have never tasted anything like it either.

kleines italienisches bistro-​style restaurant. wir waren mit knapp 10 personen da und haben den kompletten querschnitt über die speisekarte probiert. leckere vorspeisen in olivenöl eingelegt. risotto, penne, salsicci, mediterranes gemüse dazu. mit knusprigem brot.
kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.
