Source for fresh egg Italian pasta?

fwiw if you want to ship DOP stuff from Italy directly I've had good luck with Emporio del Buongustaio out of Rome. they ship to Berlin in about 4-5 days and their pecorino Romano is the real deal with the DOP stamp. their pasta selection is mostly dried though so not what you're after for fresh

for fresh egg pasta you could also try Mercato del Vino in Kreuzberg near U-Bahn Mehringdamm. they make their own pasta on tuesdays and thursdays and will tell you exactly what they have in stock if you call ahead. their rigatoni is a bit thicker than usual which I actually prefer

honestly for fresh egg pasta your best bet is probably a local italian deli rather than shipping. there's a place called Feinkost Focacceria near U-Bahn Schönleinstraße that makes their own pasta fresh a few times a week, they do rigatoni and pappardelle. their pecorino is solid too but not DOP labeled

for online DOP stuff I've used gustiamo before they ship to germany no problem but shipping can take like a week. also check out the italian market at Arminiusmarkthalle in Moabit, the guys there have a great selection of imported cheeses and they'll order stuff for you if you ask. prices are a bit higher than online but you can see what you're getting

just go to Lidl or Rewe like everyone else. they have fresh pasta in the refrigerated section and it's fine. for DOP cheese you're overthinking this, order from galbani's german site they ship in 2 days. nobody's importing artisanal pasta from ital

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
