There is a counter for ordering eat-in or take-away. The menu is in German, but there is also a menu in English for us..."non-fluent in Germen language folks". In this way, the ordering line can move faster because the staff do not need to spend a lot of time translating the menu to patrons. There is a separate counter for ordering delicious-looking desserts. There is seating on the street level and upstairs in another dining area. Once you order the food, you take a seat at a table (depending upon the time of day, it might be difficult to find a seat) and your food is brought to you. My positive experience was further augmented by my wonderful companions and the delectable food.

When we arrived, they surprised us with the cutest little cozy nook at the front of the restaurant. We had a great view of the scenery outside and could watch people walk by, which made the whole experience feel really special. We were greeted right away and had our drink orders taken. There was a small mix-up where my boyfriend ordered one espresso martini and two came out, but it honestly wasn't a big deal at all. We started with the beef carpaccio, which was absolutely delicious. For our main dishes, my boyfriend ordered the truffle pasta and I ordered the bolognese. Everything was amazing. The bolognese was rich and comforting, and you could really taste how fresh the tomatoes and sauce were. But the truffle pasta was hands down the star of the night. It was SO good that I immediately wished I had ordered it myself. Perfect flavor, great portion, just overall incredible. The staff also checked in on us throughout the meal and made sure we were enjoying everything. We ate so much that we didn't even have room for dessert, even though the menu had some tempting options. This is honestly some of the best pasta I've ever had. If they had a location near me at home, I would be there all the time without question. Highly recommend.

Each table had fresh bread, oil and salt which is a nice touch. We were in and out in 1.5 hours, not rushed at all. I couldn't find an option to reserve online, we did a walk in around 6pm both days with no trouble. There is also a quaint outside dining area that is busy on the days with nice weather.

My two kids and I had an early dinner here on a weekday (~4:30pm) and were the only people in the restaurant when we arrived. People steadily showed up throughout our meal and by the time we left after dessert it was filling up. We did not have a reservation and didn't need one due to the timing. Food was very good and came in generous portions. My kids shared the gnocchi and it was more than enough for the two of them. (There is no kids menu here!) I had a pizza with spicy salami and it was enough for two meals. The leftovers were packed well and tasted great the next day. A surprise hit was the dessert menu - gelato was surprisingly inexpensive at around CHF 4 and portions were HUGE. My kids were delighted. Service was attentive but not hovering, our waiter spoke English, and we had a great time in the lovely, open space.

I haven't spent much time inside, but I have sampled the hot calzones at the cart --- and I doubt I will again. The calzone dough is sweet like fried dough, not savory like pizza crust. Not as sweet as a donut, though. The "prosciutto" tasted like supermarket sliced ham to me. The least promising aspect was the distribution of fillings --- all of the cheese, and most of the ham, was at one end of the calzone. The other end was a dry, sweet expanse of fried dough. I may spend more time exploring the inside, but probably won't hit the cart again.
