A fine Italian restaurant in the heart of Bern, near the Bellevue Palace hotel, and a good place…read morefor a cocktail or two in their cozy and convivial bar, followed by an equally pleasant meal. 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.

I ordered a gnocchi with zucchini in a safran cream sauce. The gnocchi had a marshmallow texture that left me feeling unnaturally full despite not eating more than half.

Centrally located in old-town Bern, Le Mazot is a great stop for tourists who want a typical Swiss…read moremeal. Came here around 5 PM on a Saturday. Almost every table was taken outdoors, but I managed to squeeze in. While there is indoor seating, its slightly dark and smelly inside (due to the cheese being cooked!), so do what the Europeans do and enjoy the outdoors! For food, I opted to try the Rosti florentine (rosti with spinach) and the small portion of the raclette. The raclette came out first and was so yummy. I mean, who doesn't like a plate of melted cheese with potatoes and pickles?! When a dish is mainly cheese, the quality of the cheese is paramount. I'm happy to report that the cheese Le Mazot uses is top-notch. Beware, even if you order the small portion of the raclette, it might as well be a meal within itself. Because by the time I got my rosti, I was stuffed! The rosti was pretty tasty and I was glad to have gotten it with spinach, as otherwise it's pretty dense with the shredded potatoes as a base. It was a nice dish to try, but if I only had to order one, I'd opt for the raclette. Service was good and the food was brought out at a nice pace. Le Mazot is a solid choice to get some Swiss staples without having to search too far.

RAT + BAD SERVICE - my first time leaving a comment because food was nothing special but the woman…read morewaiter had a really bad attitude. We came into the restaurant around 9 pm and we were asked to be seated in the very end corner. I asked if we can move to the middle section but she declined without giving a reason and instead gave us a discriminating look. During our order the waiter kept deciding for us saying that we won't be able to finish our food when we ordered what we thought was reasonable. Basically the whole atmosphere made us felt uncomfortable. By the end of our meal which is around 10pm they started to clean up the restaurant, taking the trash bags out while the restaurant claims to close around 11:30pm and we saw a rat running around while we were eating. This is really unprofessional and kills the mood. Not recommended.

We went for a calzone for me and a lasagna for my partner. I was pleasently surprised by the quality of the calzone - made from thin dough, with a nice partially cooked egg inside and all the right feelings. My partner was equally pleasantly surprised by getting a whole individual, freshly prepared lasagna, rather than just a reheated slice. The desert - pannacotta - came unfortunately a bit frozen compared to what we were expecting to, and compared to the rest of the meal was a bit lackluster, but still nice by itself. And of course coffee. Coffee was absolutely, positively delicious and I am happy we took some of it!
