It’s hard to imagine that there could have been a gap in Berlin’s all-encompassing spectrum of food outlets-until this Italian-Israeli mash-up hit the scene in August 2009. With its emphasis on quality ingredients, Luigi Zuckerman turns normally simple concoctions like a goat’s cheese bagel or a roast beef and caramelized onion sandwich into creative, mouth-watering delights.

And it’s not just the food that is unsurpassed. The service is remarkable, as exuberant staff chat away with customers. owner Udi’s enthusiastic charm makes the experience a memorable one. Open around the clock, whether you drop in for breakfast, lunch, a late-night snack—or just crave a morsel of their homemade apple pie or double chocolate brownie—you can always count on great food and a warm welcome at Luigi’s.
