Miseria & Nobilta

Authentic Italian food in a rustic setting
Word to the wise: The restaurant does not accept cards, so make sure your trip includes a detour to the ATM.

Talk of the town: The owner is a huge fan of Italian actor, Happy Sciosciammocca, whose 1954 movie the restaurant is named after.
Just off the Friedrichshain's vibrant Simon-Dach Strasse, you'll find this gem of an Italian restaurant that basks in its reputation for serving authentic Puglia cuisine in homely surroundings.

With wooden tables, carafes and shelf upon shelf of oils, wines and condiments, it's going all out on the trattoria aesthetic. Even the menu is written entirely in Italian, but the friendly staff will be happy to translate, as well as recommend their favourite dishes from a list that changes daily. There is only a small menu, but, that is just a testimony to the freshness of the food.
