New ice cream-burgers in Zàgara
Have you ever tried an ice-cream-filled burger? In Sicily, this is the perfect remedy against hot, sunny days, and Gelateria Zàgara has brought this tradition to Berlin just for you. Enjoy the typical warm brioche filled with your favourite flavour of homemade ice cream! Tradition dictates that the brioche should be eaten for breakfast, to start off the day with the right foot, but it is also suitable as a refreshing snack or as a ‘light’ lunch or dinner.

New refreshing drinks, old recipes
The typical Sicilian brioche is not, however, the only new arrival from the island. Another brand-new summer highlight awaits you at Barettino: Bibite Polara’s limonatas.

Malafemmena’s new saucy specialities
Big news coming from Malafemmena. They want to come even closer to the Neapolitan tradition, enriching and expanding their menu. They will use the seven most typical types of Italian tomatoes (piennolo, pelato romano, San Marzano, pomodoro riccio casertano, pizzutello, corbarini, datterino giallo) and create a new menu dedicated exclusively to fried and baked pizza. Preview of these upcoming new products: Pizza Scarpariello. The key to the tastiness of this pizza lies in the base sauce, the Scarpariello sauce, prepared with yellow datterini, pecorino romano, guanciale, garlic, parmesan, and a pinch of chilli. On top, Provola cheese and basil. Enjoy the first of many new specialties coming soon!
