Little on the pricy side but relative to everything else in Basel, WORTH IT. It was super fresh! Only lost a star for the challenge in communication. Be prepared. German/Italian speaking only. Or in another words... No English.

I loved the complimentary basket of bread balls (soft pizza crust in a ball shape) and italian speaking super friendly server (speaks a little German and english). I had grilled squid which came out surprisingly big portion and side of pasta and this pasta convinced me to try the main pasta dish next time. It was great. Overall, highly recommend for date or business meal. PS: a glass wine was 5-5.50 CHF (cheaper than most restaurants)

5 stars for the food - we had the Caprese and Margherita pizza. We also ordered the spinach ravioli…read morein gorgonzola sauce along with Bruschetta. The Margherita pizza was quite greasy but tasty. The Caprese pizza was seasoned well but wish they put more basil on it. The pasta was delicious along with the sauce. It didn't have a heavy cream taste. The bruschetta was served with a spicy oil that turned up the flavor. 3 stars because the service wasn't great. My husband ordered the Patio red wine and it was just ok for him. We also ordered water and sprite and not one time did they offer another round. My husband and I shared the pizza and bruschetta because we weren't very hungry and the waitress said allow this one time. It would have been too much food but apparently you can't share. One waiter checked on us during entire time. Our waitress not once. That was shocking for us as most restaurants are very personable. We enjoyed the food but service wasn't what we had expected.

Where do you go? VAPIANO of course! This is actually a chain restaurant directly from Italy and in Italian, Va Piano means 'go slowly'. So I'm guessing they are poking a bit of fun at 'fast food'. But this is a sort of fast food restaurant - but where everything is made fresh, to order, right in front of you. So a bit of dinner theatre thrown in for free! Even though the menu is the holy Italian trinity - Pizza, Pasta, Salads; that's where 'normality' ends. I knew this was something unique as soon as we entered. We were stopped at the door and each person was handed what looks like a credit card. We found a table (these are big, banquet style and you may end up sharing with others), grabbed a menu and planned our attack. This is self serve - once you decide what you want - you take your credit card to one of the food stations - Pizza, pasta or Salad. The menu was only a guide - we were able to customize everything based on the fresh ingredients available. I was happy with the Capricciosa Pizza as is (my favourite toppings of black olives, artichokes, mushrooms and prosciutto) but my Aunt wanted a light, sauce free pasta. The pasta is fresh - not dried. And there is a glass wall in front of the pasta extruder - great fun for the kiddies to watch the pasta being made. In addition to picking your sauce and toppings - you also have at least a dozen pasta shapes to choose from as well. She choose tagliatelle with aglio and olio with some sautéed shrimp and spring onions. She loved being able to watch everything being made in the wok and loved that she was asked how much oil, how much garlic...... She did think the portion was too large for her to finish but it was so good, she cleaned her plate! (darn no leftovers for us!!!). While I was waiting for my pizza (pizzas take a bit longer so you get a buzzer) I headed over to the salad station for a rocket and parmaggiano salad to share with the group. The food stations meant everyone in our group could have something different, using their own card. Drinks are available at each station or at a central bar (which also houses the desserts). Throughout the meal you can get more food and drink - just hand over your card. When you leave, each person must turn in a card. It is possible to just use one card during the meal and pay as a whole - and then the other cards will show a 'zero' when you come to pay. Or, use individual cards - which can be totalled into one bill - or if you are with a group of friends - it makes paying for yourself so much easier! This isn't 'fine' dining but it is fresh, fun, easy and tasty.

The best overall higher end restaurant in Neuchatel. This is my first review, but my 4th overall…read morevisit at this restaurant. The lamb shank dish was simply marvelous, plenty, and fulfilling! I managed to start with their french onion soup which hit the spot in the cold weather , but it could have simply be my meal for the night!!! I have had really good experience here with their food quality, and great service. The sitting room is also unique and charming. See my pix. The price is higher than average but a few more francs are worth the quality. I have been to at least 10-12 other restaurants in Neuchatel over the past 3-4 years. Le Cardinal is on the top of all of them that I've tried!

Excellent service and food. I will visit this restaurant again when I visit Milwaulkeeread more
