Osteria No. 1 - Italian Cafe & Restaurant In Berlin & Viktoria Park
Berlin is known for having these fantastic courtyards; little oases tucked away just waiting to be discovered.
Osteria No. 1 (address: Kreuzbergstr. 71) (map) is a cute Italian cafe/restaurant that offers terrace dining on warm weather days. The courtyard has plenty of green foliage, the air is filled with the sounds of a water fountain's trickling and various bird's songs.
This Kreuzberg establishment has long been know for it's excellent food, but I really have to say that to get the best terrace dining experience you need to go around lunchtime in order to enjoy the sun. There are great lunch specials, and the staff, in true Italian fashion are boisterous and friendly.
After you stuff yourself stroll next door and walk through one of Kreuzberg's best parks: Viktoria Park (Viktoriapark). The park is huge. There are rolling hills with plenty of places to lay out on the grass and soak up the sun.
