Lavanderia Vecchia

In an old laundromat, hidden off the street in a courtyard is this romantic, candlelight-heavy Italian restaurant. There is a pricey dinner menu, but we prefer Lavanderia for lunch if you already happen to be staying in or hanging around Neukölln. The menu changes everyday, with homemade pasta, risotto, soups, and other dishes for around $12. They usually post their menu on their website every week, so have a look beforehand.
