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

My companion had veal lemone and I substituted the homemade bici pasta for spaghetti. Both were amazing. Mountains of grated cheese! Risotto is to die for. Wait staff are very helpful and friendly, with good wine suggestions and prompt attention. Food was so good we dined here again on our last night. Each table had fresh bread, oil and salt which is a nice touch. We were in and out in 1.5 hours, not rushed at all. I couldn't find an option to reserve online, we did a walk in around 6pm both days with no trouble. There is also a quaint outside dining area that is busy on the days with nice weather. You can't miss this one if you are visiting Zurich.

The decor is classy with black and white photos, and the chairs are comfortable. We were told to sit anywhere we liked, and we chose a table in the middle of the restaurant next to a wall - perfect for people watching and seeing what food was coming out of the kitchen. My husband selected the prosciutto and funghi pizza, and I chose spaghetti carbonara. Both dishes were phenomenal! My spaghetti was perfectly al dente and rich! My husband's pizza had a very nice char, and when hot chili oil was added, the taste was out of this world!!! We have this establishment on our list to try again - it was that good!!!!

My two kids and I had an early dinner here on a weekday (~4:30pm) and were the only people in the restaurant when we arrived. People steadily showed up throughout our meal and by the time we left after dessert it was filling up. We did not have a reservation and didn't need one due to the timing. Food was very good and came in generous portions. My kids shared the gnocchi and it was more than enough for the two of them. (There is no kids menu here!) I had a pizza with spicy salami and it was enough for two meals. The leftovers were packed well and tasted great the next day. A surprise hit was the dessert menu - gelato was surprisingly inexpensive at around CHF 4 and portions were HUGE. My kids were delighted. Service was attentive but not hovering, our waiter spoke English, and we had a great time in the lovely, open space. Prices were less expensive than I expected, though definitely not "cheap" by American standards :) We will definitely return when in Zurich!

I haven't spent much time inside, but I have sampled the hot calzones at the cart --- and I doubt I will again. The calzone dough is sweet like fried dough, not savory like pizza crust. Not as sweet as a donut, though. The "prosciutto" tasted like supermarket sliced ham to me. The least promising aspect was the distribution of fillings --- all of the cheese, and most of the ham, was at one end of the calzone. The other end was a dry, sweet expanse of fried dough. I may spend more time exploring the inside, but probably won't hit the cart again.

Space itself is relatively small and I felt like the tables were a little too close together. Brother's taglioni was expected to be pretty rich due to the truffle but it was actually very bland and the noodles seemed too firm like they were undercooked. Very underwhelming fish. I got a wild boar bolognese which definitely made up for the taglioni - meat was tender and seasoned well, and noodles were cooked to perfection. Tuna tartare was classic and tasted fresh, nothing too incredibly exciting. Zucchini flan with truffle was not quite the consistency I expected and honestly didn't taste anything like zucchini OR flan but surprisingly the dish worked well together.
