In the name of 'Mr Fetch' It's called Trattoria Ossena (http://www.ossena.de/) and it's the one in Berlin-Mitte, which seems to be the middle of town (just east of the park where the marathon starts and finishes), and also happens to be around the corner from the Fetch Flat on Almstadstrasse. The address is Rosenthaler Strasse 42, which is very close to Hackeschen Markt. I say think, because the chap I spoke to wasn't too hot in the English department, and my German extends as fas as saying I have two poodles. But I think we're good Here's the review of another Ossena (there are 3 of them in Berlin): igougo.com Can someone who speaks German please call them tomorrow to check they got the reservation ok?! If not I'll call them again tomorrow to check (number is +49 30 28 09 98 77) Everyone happy with that??

Just looked at the menu, which is (fortunately) in Italian, I can cope better with that than the German "unter Schreiben" ... looks delicious. Save the cheerleader, save the world etc.
