PastaLaden Berlin: Homemade Pasta in Weißensee

At Langhansstraße 149, less than 50 meters from Antonplatz, you’ll find one of Berlin’s simplest yet most convincing pasta addresses. PastaLaden is a small Italian restaurant in Berlin-Weißensee offering homemade pasta, which foregoes frills but scores with substance.

Because the team places great importance on freshness and quality, all dishes are prepared with the freshest ingredients. Consequently, there is only a limited number of each dish, and if they have already been consumed, it can happen that individual dishes are no longer available by the end of the week. So, if you want to play it safe, it’s better to come early.

Sardinian Ravioli, Gnocchi, and a Menu Worth Exploring

You can choose your pasta from the display case, and sauces like tomato sauce as well as various pesto varieties are always freshly available. The menu changes weekly, always offering variety. Particularly popular are the Sardinian ravioli, filled with goat cheese, Casizzolu, aged Pecorino, potatoes, sheep ricotta, and mint. In addition, dishes like gnocchi, linguine, or tagliolini are on the menu, refined with accompaniments such as truffle, salmon, or Pecorino.

PastaLaden also impresses beyond pasta. The restaurant also offers a selection of vegetarian dishes. In addition to the regular menu, there is a daily changing specials board. The interior has the feel of a cozy living room, complete with an open kitchen and a fresh food counter. The value for money is remarkable: The restaurant offers around 26 different dishes and drinks for an average of 10 Euros. So, if you want to eat well without breaking the bank, this is the place to be. However, a reservation is recommended, as it is worth reserving early despite limited seating capacity.
