You'd expect to have good Italian food when you come to a small town in Italy. Zenzero exceeded all…read moreof my expectations. The evidence is in the kitchen- the chefs in the small and quiet town of Porlezza take caution in adding little dabs of olive oil here and there along with fresh herbs and ingredients. Don't believe me? Walk in and look in the kitchen. Quite frankly, this was some of the best Italian food I have had as of yet. And the scenery, being lakeside, is an added bonus. Ambience: This place is off the beaten path, tucked away in Porlezza, a quiet city by Lake Lugano. That being said, it's worth ever extra ounce of gas spent to get there. Gorgeous lakeside view with outdoor seating and avoids being packed with tourists. Today was the first time I heard another American in Porlezza. Food: Italian restaurants in America need to get there act together. This was, by far, the best Italian food I have ever eaten. Fresh ingredients, superb execution and made from scratch. The evidence in in the kitchen- you can walk in and see it past the counter. I had the housemade gnocchi which was creamy and soft, melting away in your mouth. The salmon for my second course was just as good- perfectly mixed with olive oil, seasoned well and baked enough just to fall apart with my fork. Creme brûlée with berries to finish- not much else to say other than it fell in line with how good the rest of the food was. Drinks: It's Italy and so comes along the 2 euro glasses of wine. Love it. Service: Our food was a little slow to the table but now I know why. Well worth the wait to have fresh food. Other than that, we were very content with our service. Friendly and welcoming to all the guests, including the ones that are criminally pitiful at speaking Italian.

The food was OK, but nothing I would recommend, due to the price and the amount of food we were served.

The first thing you notice is how hard the are trying with the Wild West theme and it makes for some interesting and inadvertent faux pas like the sign that says "Indian peoples" or the fenced off section of tables with a sign above reading "the saloon" both are in English. Despite all the American cues and geography being Switzerland, everything else is Italian including menu and servers. Nonetheless it was pretty easy to decipher with the pictures and mostly familiar looking words like "iceberg lettuce" and "catsup." I ordered the Navajo burger (essentially a cheese burger with lettuce and something like McD' "special sauce") while my wife chose the American burger (their take on a bacon cheese burger except they don't really have American bacon and the strips were not even close to crispy) and each came with thin crispy perfectly cooked French fries. The burgers came out fairly quickly with what tasted and looked like grilled patties and buns. They even asked how we wanted the burgers prepared. The burgers had good flavor and were probably 1/4 or 1/3 lb sized so plenty for lunch. While not the very best burger I've ever had, it was certainly the best one I've had in the past week. My only complaint was the price ChF56 for lunch was a bit much, but a small price to pay for a taste of home.
