Our Team
Danijel Djakovic
I grew up in Bern, surrounded by Italian families from Lecce and Calabria, where pasta, pizza and homemade tiramisù were part of everyday life. That is where I learned that good food creates love, community and unforgettable moments.
For more than 20 years, I have organised events in Bern and have always appreciated the magic of the little details. My dream was to run my own restaurant – a place that nourishes both body and soul.
In May 2025, I fulfilled this dream by taking over Ristorante Da Carlo. Here, I preserve classic Italian cuisine and hospitality while adding fresh ideas: atmospheric live music, a warm family-style ambience and carefully selected specialities.
I invite you to immerse yourself in the warmth of Italy by candlelight with a glass of Chianti and create new memories together.
Passion in the Kitchen
In our kitchen, our team prepares homemade pasta, crispy pizzas and refined meat and fish dishes every day. With carefully selected ingredients and traditional techniques, they create the distinctive flavours you love at Da Carlo.
Come In and Feel at Home
Our service team welcomes you with a smile, helps you choose the perfect wine and accompanies you throughout the evening. Friendliness, attentiveness and a touch of Italian nonchalance make all the difference – so you can simply relax and enjoy.
