Leo Bettini

One could easily pass by Leo Bettini without realizing that they are the Mitte masters of knödel, a delightfully round, sticky potato dumpling with the texture of gnocchi and the size of a golf ball. Here you can sit down and enjoy plates of the fresh handmade Bavarian dish along with other pasta dishes, or pick some up to take home. Either way, Leo Bettini will rise to the top of your favorite lunch spot list, especially for those craving the carbs.

Owned by Leonie Heilmann and Bettina Heikaus (hence, Leo Bettini), both of whom previously worked in the arts, the aesthetics of their culinary marriage are just right. And we all have Leonie Heilmann’s grandmother to thank for the knödel recipe!
