Oh, what could have been... Restaurant L'Unico should provide a heaven on earth dining…read moreexperience... it has all the makings of a great restaurant! However, delivery fails start to finish! For an expensive "fine dining" spot, this place does not deliver. Avoid at all costs! Let's begin with the location and our waiter, Alfred. It's a "non-smoking" hotel, but is reminiscent of the 80s in the US when they placed smokers right next to the "non-smoking section." There is a smoker's lounge on the first floor of the hotel, which makes the entire floor reek like an ashtray (think casino!). There are dozens of guests smoking just outside the doors, including the restaurant, which pumps even more cigarette smoke into first floor and the dining room! Disgusting way to eat, none of the food or wine tastes right in a smoke-laced room. The hotel allows a minority of guests to ruin the restaurant for most diners. Alfred, a smoker, greeted us reeking of smoke... 1/2 a table away, it was nauseating! Which also likely explains his prolonged absences from our table, outside on a smoking break! Service abominable... it took 90 minute after we finished our entrees to get dessert and the check. The host serviced most tables around us, one diner simply got up and left. Let's mention food. Asparagus soup was good, as was the house salad. The risotto was very undercooked, which was one whole dish plus side at our table. The veal saltimbocca was cooked well, but quite salty. The red wine was served room temperature, obviously not cared for in a climate controlled atmosphere! Ice cream for dessert was mediocre, the chocolate ice cream tasted freezer burned, and was only 1/2 a scoop. The restaurant could be great. But, management has to step up and deliver the "smoke free" hotel promised in all its advertising. If you're a smoker, this place is for you. For non-smokers, the hotel and restaurant fails miserably. We're here several more days, but definitely will not dine at this place again! Do not dine here if you want a quality meal in a "smoke free" environment!

Decent restaurant just outside of downtown Zurich with a pretty neat menu and a very nice cocktail…read moreselection. The menu is quite substantial complete with a nice selection of meats, including delicious aged beef and a large homemade pasta menu which you essentially pick the sauce and pair it with the pasta. The restaurant itself was actually nicely decorated and had a pretty good ambiance but the food and service honestly fell a bit short. The pasta was decent, but it was honestly a small portion and a bit bland. The service was below average as well as I had to wait quite a bit of time before greeted and once seated the server seemed disinterested... Overall, great location and decor but not all that great of a dinner experience. Pros- Ambiance Location Presentation Decor Meat case Great cocktail selection Homemade pasta Bread dipping sauces Cons- Very average food Below average service Waited approx 10 mins before being greeted and shown to table (wasn't busy at all) Small portions

Luigia's was IN our hotel- you couldn't get more convenient than that! I wasn't expecting much, as most hotel- restaurants are overpriced and mediocre at best. Boy was I wrong!!! Luigia's was fantastic!!! The atmosphere is sophisticated and fun- think red velvet and dim lighting, bustling with activity. Great date place for sure- everyone looked so good in this lighting! We started with bruschetta- it had mortadella and black truffle mayo . Amazing. They CARE about their ingredients and it shows! The Greek salad was delicious, with homemade dressing and perfect for 2 to share. The pizza- San Marzano tomatoes, onions, artichokes-- all laid out beautifully on a superbly baked crust-absolute perfection. This meal was the perfect way to start a vacation. We watched the bartender in awe, making beautiful drinks with love and precision. Our server was excellent and attentive. They provided us English menus and never made us feel awkward for not speaking the language. Going out on a limb to say, possibly the best Italian in Switzerland!

I have now eaten at this restaurant 3 times and each time have really enjoyed myself!…read more My first vist (well, my first 2 visits) were in the summer where I got to enjoy the outdoor patio and a nice glass of wine and pizza. The service here was much more friendly that at some other restaurants I've eaten at in the area and I have to say that they are a bit more generous in terms of portion size. The food is quite delicious, with proscuitto pizza being my personal favorite...though I did try some other items. The pizzas are thin and perfect and they offer a chili sauce that is very light with a hint of bite to drizzle over (more of a chili olive oil). After eating here twice this summer, I was perfectly happy when a colleague suggested we try it for dinner this week. I was happy to find that service was just as friendly and the food just as good (so, it wasn't the atmosphere drawing me in). The inside area is also very cute and warm and inviting. The food, as usual, was delicious and I was quite pleased to sit there and talk work for a few hours. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and the pizzas were so good that I'd even suggest coming here from other parts of the city if you can. It's located right off of the tram, so it's easy and convenient to get to.

A great little spot in the area! Aside from the current view on the patio of construction (which…read moreI'm sure will be more scenic when they're done), this is a cute restaurant with a nice outdoor space and great food. I visited for a work dinner and was really pleased with my meal. I wasn't starving, so I stuck with a pizza (huge, by the way, you can definitely go with the slightly smaller one!) which was fresh, flavorful and delicious. I also had some pinot grigio, and while tasty, I feel that the pour sizes were small (though that seems to be the case in Switzerland generally). Considering the food quality, portion sizes and taste, this was a reasonably priced spot as well. Staff was friendly, though our server didn't speak much English (or figured we should learn a new language..). She was super friendly and accommodating.
