Fodor's Expert Review Francucci's

This upscale restaurant on the far western end of Kurfürstendamm is one of the best-kept Italian secrets in Berlin; you won't find many tourists here, but the posh neighborhood's residents pack the cheerful, rustic dining room. The high-quality, straightforward cooking means incredibly fresh salads and appetizers (the bruschetta is excellent), as well as homemade bread, exquisite pasta dishes, and more-refined Tuscan and Umbrian creations.
