The restaurant is tiny, and very intimate. I don't encourage large groups of more than 6 coming here! Our waitress was very nice, and spoke English (wish I spoke Swiss German because I felt like I should know how to speak a bit of the language before coming here!). We ordered 2 dishes to share. One was a traditional Swiss ham/meatloaf, served with an egg and a side of fries. The second dish was the spaghetti carbonara (not as salty as the traditional Italian carbonara). Both dishes were very good! I'd order them both again!

They are not friendly to expat Americans. The first time it was just me and my daughters and they would barely help me or speak to me. The second time my husband came and had the same waiter. The waiter would only talk to my husband. I realize Switzerland isn't exactly trailblazing when it comes to social issues, but my money is as good as anyone else's. I won't give this restaurant another penny.

Team and the Mexican German Italian owner are very friendly and dedicated and experienced professionals. The delicious food was cooked à la minute and was really delicious: pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and salted crust fresh fish (which O have verified) was fantastic.

Very impressed.... pricing are on average for this kind of service and restaurant. I recommend and will return with my family.

We stopped at this little Italian restaurant in our way to Salzburg. We weren't impressed with our…read moreservice here. The waiter/cook rushed around looking very busy, but in reality didn't spend much of his time actually meeting the needs or requests of his patrons. My husband and son loved the pizza, but my pasta dish wasn't what I ordered, and when they finally got it right, it was extremely bland tasting. After asking for take out boxes and our check, we waited for fifteen minutes (which is difficult when you have five more hours of driving ahead), and ended up having to make multiple requests in order to get what we needed. He didn't appear to like Americans very much. I don't think I would go back to this one. His attitude was markedly different than most of the wonderful people we have met here, and the contrast was pretty stark.

They are definitely known for their pizza as I saw many coming in for take away. I arrived at 8:30 on a Friday night & all that was available was a seat at the bar so I took it. Sandra, at the bar, was very helpful explaining the specials for the evening and the various pasta and pizza varieties. I ended up ordering the 1/2 size which was huge!) Octopus (Pulpo) Salad. Octopus was cooked just right and tasty-the olives, tomatoes with oil/vinegar sauce mixed nicely . I decided to go with a pizza although the house made pasta dishes also looked very good. Never had a Beef Carpacio Pizza so decided to give it a try. I got the small and it was more than enough. Crust was light with just enough tomato sauce. The Carpacio was topped with Parmesan shavings and Rucola. All the toppings balanced and combined nicely. Perfect pizza! I didn't have room for dessert on Friday and ended up returning on Sunday (they're closed Saturday) to try the house made Tiramisu with a Cappuccino. Some of the best Tiramisu I've had! Reservations are a must if you want a table before 9. I spoke to the owner who was there on Sunday to thank her for the wonderful food and hospitality. Can't recommend Miracle enough!

We had a sponatious idea to have diner last night in a well known estaurant and we chose this one…read more Our Welcome was ok, the manager with a too large bally and smelly odour from his mouth, was already affecting our appetite (time of a change or a good dentist/fitness, we said to each other). We ordered starters and a main course, and were very detailed what the ingredients should be. Finally, the starters came, and some orders were missing. We werre waiting too long! Anyway..up to the main course. Unfortunately the ingredients ordered were not present (Pomodoro Sauce in the pasta) and after some time the plates were taken back to the kitchen. Again it was taking very long, maybe fresh servings, but I saw the cook was busy with other things. Our appetite disappeared and decided to ask for the bill. This was not really appreciated, a discussion was started if we would take this food home, we knew the food was used again together with the forgotten pomodoro sauce. At the background some customers tried to pay but the card payment did not work due to internet disconnection. After 5 minutes the customers were forced toi walk to an ATM to get money, although he presented a AMEX Black card. I final got the bill, and should be greatful the pasta was removed from the bill. We paid in cash CHF 87.50 and wanted to leave. Then another guest with a Labrador (soaked due to the weather/rain) came in and the dog (not his fault) was smelling, loading an odour that even was stronger than that of the manager. You can imagine that this restaurant is cetainly of our recommendation list as of yesterday.
