This place is absolutely in my top 5 best Italian restaurants that I've been to anywhere in the world. Full disclosure: I have not been to Italy, but coming to this place makes me feel like I have.
Came here after a three-week-long work trip to celebrate our success. I could not have picked a better place. We came here on a Thursday night and we were able to get seated right away. The ambiance and interior of this restaurant spared no detail left behind. It was hard to believe that we were still in Switzerland.
We began with a really nice bottle of Pinot Grigio wine right from the central part of Italy. For starters, I ordered the PASSATELLI IN BRODO DI VERDURA soup, which is Spatzle (Swabian noodle) in a vegetable broth. It was absolutely delicious and was served fresh and at the perfect soup temperature. I then had the RISOTTO AL LIMONE E TARTUFO as the first course. This was the most amazing Risotto that I've ever had. The truffle oil together with lemon and black truffle really put this dish over the top. For the main course, I had the SCALOPPINE DI VITELLO AL PROFUMO DI TARTUFO, which is veal cutlet with truffle cream sauce and black truffle. This was paired with some of the most amazing potatoes I've ever had. For dessert, I was graced with some of the best Tiramisu. Surely I didn't even have the room for dessert but I'm glad I partook.
My colleague and I were the last to leave the restaurant at about 11:30pm. We had a delightful conversation with the owner and got to learn about the history of the restaurant and the owner's passion for bike riding along with his month-long trip to the US about five years ago.
Really an amazing place right in the heart of Bern and within walking distance from the train station. This is a must visit whenever in Switzerland! read more
