A very classy restaurant with brilliant food and good service…read more I visited St Gallen to see the famous Abbey (well worth the visit!) and was sent to Segreto when I asked where the best restaurant was. Segreto is Italian for "secret" I was told; but if it is, then it shouldn't be! The restaurant isn't in the town, but a short drive away. It is a truly idylic environment and the restaurant seems to organically grow from the formal dining room into a conservatory-style outside and then a stylish garden area. There is also a big outside casual dining area, though I'm not sure if that is part of the restaurant or not. The food is exquisite and clearly cooked by a deft and delicate hand in the kitchen. With such cuisine, I often find stuffy service, but not here where it is confident and professional. The wine list is very extensive and it is easy to find a complimentary wine. My overall thoughts are that this is a fantastic restaurant. I will certainly add this to my list of "must go" places, when I return to the St Gallen area.

This is clearly the best Italian / mediterranean restaurant you can find not just in St. Gallen but…read morein all the Bodensee - region . The amazing detail is that the chef is a German : Martin Benninger. So how does it comes that a German can cook Italian specialities from agnolotti , guancia Di Vitello , carpaccio di spigola so heavenly (and not just Italian food , try the fois gras...) ? It happens that he cooked for more then 2 years for Heinz Beck in Rome , a legend there with 3 stars Michelin. If Martin continues to cook like this Its likely he will get his Michelin stars soon too. Another detail I like about this restaurant is that it has one of the best wine lists in Switzerland to really affordable prices. Some of the wines cannot be found cheaper if bought in a store.

We were wandering downtown St. Gallen one day and bf and I decided we had a hankering for some…read morepizza. I have come to believe that most pizza in Switzerland is fantastic and somewhat similar to NY style pizza. It's got a thin, special crust. Crunchy on the outside, but filling and slightly soft under the layers of cheese and tomato sauce. So, in we go. Bf ordered the pizza tonno (tuna), for 18.10 CHF, and I ordered the pizza diavola, for 15.60 CHF. Mine had spicy tomato sauce with bell peppers, or peperoni, as the Swiss call them (don't get that mixed up with American pepperoni, the meat). They were both big, delicious, cheesy, and full of flavor. I'm still getting used to putting tuna on pizza and also in spaghetti, but it's actually really REALLY good. So go try it. Anyway, the prices were normal, the pizza was great, and we were even able to take our leftovers home in a to go box! What a winning night. Mein Fruend und ich war in die Innenstadt von St. Gallen und wir wollten Pizzas. So, sind wir in San Lorenzo Ristorante Italiano gegangen. Mein Freund hatte eine Pizza Tonno (18.10 CHF) bestellt und ich hatte die Pizza Diavola (15.60 CHF) bestellt. Beides sind lecker und fantastich. Ich liebe schweizerisch Pizza! Ich war gluecklich auch, dass wir unsere Reste zum Hause mitgebracht koennen.
