This was truffle season and Lorenzini's specials that day were all focused on this famous fungus. So I started off with their carpaccio with truffle - deliciously thin, melt-in-your-mouth marbled beef, drizzled with fragrant and earthy truffle oil and the coup de grace: fresh truffle shaved onto it table-side by the waiter (don't stop, don't hold back, keep on shaving that 'shroom till it's gone!). Of course, that wasn't enough, so I followed this with a veal escallope in a rich smooth truffled cream sauce, again laden with fresh shaved truffle table-side. The dish came with a side of a simple risotto - which was a great way to sop up all that heavenly sauce. Service was excellent, attentive and unobtrusive - and really just a fine place for a satisfying meal!

The waiter was very friendly and was good with the recommendations. The food we got were part of a special menu they had and was simply delicious. The prociutto was fresh but didn't come with any thing to accompany it. The highlight was the pumpkin risotto with mozzarella -- super flavorful and filling. And as for the tiramisu.... It was the best tiramisu I have had (I've been to Italy and there are variations in tiramisu but this one was simply well portioned with really fresh ingredients). Overall we enjoyed this place as the food was much better than other alternatives around the area. Took a star off because service took a longer time due to popularity and also because the appetizers were not memorable.

Full disclosure: I have not been to Italy, but coming to this place makes me feel like I have. Came here after a three-week-long work trip to celebrate our success. I could not have picked a better place. We came here on a Thursday night and we were able to get seated right away. The ambiance and interior of this restaurant spared no detail left behind. It was hard to believe that we were still in Switzerland. We began with a really nice bottle of Pinot Grigio wine right from the central part of Italy. For starters, I ordered the PASSATELLI IN BRODO DI VERDURA soup, which is Spatzle (Swabian noodle) in a vegetable broth. It was absolutely delicious and was served fresh and at the perfect soup temperature. I then had the RISOTTO AL LIMONE E TARTUFO as the first course. This was the most amazing Risotto that I've ever had. The truffle oil together with lemon and black truffle really put this dish over the top. For the main course, I had the SCALOPPINE DI VITELLO AL PROFUMO DI TARTUFO, which is veal cutlet with truffle cream sauce and black truffle. This was paired with some of the most amazing potatoes I've ever had. For dessert, I was graced with some of the best Tiramisu. Surely I didn't even have the room for dessert but I'm glad I partook. My colleague and I were the last to leave the restaurant at about 11:30pm. We had a delightful conversation with the owner and got to learn about the history of the restaurant and the owner's passion for bike riding along with his month-long trip to the US about five years ago. Really an amazing place right in the heart of Bern and within walking distance from the train station. This is a must visit whenever in Switzerland!
