Paolino Cherchi is one of Hamburg's best known Italian chefs and many of his guests were devastated when his restaurant burned down in 1997. Two years later, it reopened in a new location overlooking the Alster and continues to offer the same gourmet Italian cuisine. The menu includes traditional antipasti, pasta dishes and a selection of Italian fish and meat dishes. Despite the exclusive location the prices are very reasonable. Da Paolino is particularly popular with local celebrities.
