Worst carbonara I've had in my life. Real carbonara doesn't use cream, but I decided to give it the…read morebenefit of doubt, which I regretted. The entire dish was an overly rich but tasteless glob of carb. The sauce was a thick, goopy mess, its taste reminding me of canned cream soup except it's even more bland. There is no hint of yolk or cheese in the sauce. I barely finished it and wasted the CHF 24. The only thing saving it from a one-star rating is the spaghetti ragu, which meets the standard of being a classic staple pasta, if not a little too salty.

I really like this place and I wish I could eat here often. The atmosphere is upscale-casual…read more From outside, the lighting invites one to enter the establishment and be comfortable. 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.

I walked in and started speaking Italian to the Pizziola! He was so friendly. When he learned that I owned a pizzeria in New York , he invited me to make a pizza in his restaurant . I was thrilled to make a pizza in Zurich! The dough was like silk ! I made the pizza and then went upstairs to enjoy the margarita pie. Mind you, we had just finished. 5 course meal 1/2 block away but there is always room for pizza! It was delicious! Light , airy, not too cheesy and baked to perfection . I don't think the pie we ate was the one I made because we waited upstairs as directed and it never arrived. So we ordered one and enjoyed it with a nice glass of wine . The staff was super friendly . The ambiance is warm and the food was delicious

I was given a wonderful opportunity to come here by my boyfriends aunt and uncle for his birthday…read more The owner of the restaurant knows his uncle and was very very friendly and informative. We started off the meal with some bubbly. Then the waiter came over holding a bowl with rice in it. In the rice was what looked to me like a rock, with a wine glass covering it. He then greeted me and held the glass over my nose... I had no idea what to expect but BAM suddenly there was a burst of... flavor. It was the famous truffle mushroom. I didn't know anything about this little gem before my travels to Europe but apparently it's quite a prized possession. They have pigs and dogs search for these rare little mushrooms and people pay out the booty for them. I guess the most expensive one weighing around 1 kg sold for $330,000. I got to smell a pretty big one... be impressed guys. Apparently the one I smelled was around 5,000 CHF. So anyway, that was an exciting event. We then ordered wine and salad- I decided to burst out of my shell ( I did get to smell a tuffle pilz after all) and try the octopus salad. Btw pilz= mushroom. The presentation was fancy shmancy and downright beautiful. It tasted quite good and not exactly what I was expecting. It was entirely octopus, not many greens! But it was very very good. Next came the main course. I ordered the angus beef with vegetables and pasta with the famous truffle pilz sauce. Bf got the veal rib with potato gratin and spinach. I tried both. The angus beef was pretty good, but I'll admit the pasta was really special. The noodles were so tender and the waiter even came over and shaved more mushroom over the pasta. The man was basically sprinkling my food with money... it was a little funny. The veal meat was very tender and flavorful as well. They were tricky when they asked us if we'd like dessert. Instead of bringing us a menu they showed us the actual apple tart... and of course we couldn't say no. It came with ice cream and it was absolutely divine! I'd never had an apple dessert like it. The fruit was so smooth and delicious! They were cooked so nicely that they just melted in your mouth. For the very end we were given a lemon liquor type of drink. I guess it's quite famous in Italy but I had never heard of it before! It was very sweet and strong... I liked it a lot. By the time we had left I was incredibly stuffed and almost drunk. Campaign, two/ three glasses of wine, and lemon liquor is a little too much for this girl. But everything was fantastic. Wonderful service, wonderful company, and wonderful food. Wir haben viel viel essen fur der Geburtstag von mein Freund bestellt. Das Essen war mega fein. Das Fleisch, die Nudeln, der Salat und die Tarte waren am besten. Ich liebe das Innere und die Leute sind sehr fleissig und freundlich. Ich hatte ein wunderbar Zeit und meinen Freund auch.
