I was walking along the lake and noticed quite a few people eating from the same pizza box. I asked…read morewhere they got it and that's how I ended up here. Now I couldn't find it on my Apple Maps, but I was able to stumble across it. I got the margarita pizza, it was a very good Italian pizza. The typical thick edge with thin in the middle and your cheese.

Okay, so this restaurant is said to be the "Best Pizza in the world".  If this was the Olympics,…read morethat's like claiming you're the fastest 100 Meter sprinter in the world; a truly coveted title. When we arrived, the place was full, so make a reservation. We were greeted with a prosecco as we waited a minute or two for our table to be ready. This was the real deal. The staff appeared and sounded quintessentially Italian, the clay oven was in plain sight, and did the place ever smell delicious!  Shortly after being seated, I noticed the restaurant had framed certificates noting they'd been awarded the world championship awards multiple times since the 2000s. At that moment it occurred to me that we might very well actually be in for the world's best pizza. We ordered four different pizzas and split them four ways, giving us all a chance to taste a bit of everything. My favourites were the prosciutto & mushroom pizza, though their award winning special was notably the hit at our table. Truthfully, I don't have anything bad to say about any of the pizzas. The toppings were incredibly fresh and I can only assume directly from Italy.  I mean, it was the best pizza I've ever had. I highly recommend if you are in or near Zurich. It's definitely pricey by North American standards (Approx. 30 Francs per pizza), but the quality did not disappoint.

I would go back if I'm ever back in Zurich.

We made a reservation at Ristorante La Pasta while we were visiting in town, and it ended up being…read moresuch a great choice. When we arrived, they surprised us with the cutest little cozy nook at the front of the restaurant. We had a great view of the scenery outside and could watch people walk by, which made the whole experience feel really special. We were greeted right away and had our drink orders taken. There was a small mix-up where my boyfriend ordered one espresso martini and two came out, but it honestly wasn't a big deal at all. We started with the beef carpaccio, which was absolutely delicious. For our main dishes, my boyfriend ordered the truffle pasta and I ordered the bolognese. Everything was amazing. The bolognese was rich and comforting, and you could really taste how fresh the tomatoes and sauce were. But the truffle pasta was hands down the star of the night. It was SO good that I immediately wished I had ordered it myself. Perfect flavor, great portion, just overall incredible. The staff also checked in on us throughout the meal and made sure we were enjoying everything. We ate so much that we didn't even have room for dessert, even though the menu had some tempting options. This is honestly some of the best pasta I've ever had. If they had a location near me at home, I would be there all the time without question. Highly recommend.

Il Faro is one of a small chain of Italian restaurants in the Zurich area. (At least I think it's…read morea chain as there are about four restaurants I know of in the Zurich metropolitan area with the same name!) The one I like the best is in Herrliberg which is a tiny and hilly village south of Zurich - direct on the Zurichsee. In fact there is a ferry boat across the lake just a little bit south of here. Il Faro is designed for a bit of old-world charm. The menu is your basic standard Italian - to me not the most interesting cuisine in the world - but it does these all-too-familiar dishes well. I opted for a pizza called the Exotica this time as at least it was a little bit different having green bananas as one of the toppings. This rather large Exotica pizza was good enough although not exceptional. The salad was small but really good - tasty dressing and crisp salad ingredients. A Feldschlösschen Bier was a nice accompaniment. The service was exceptionally friendly and attentive! Anyway, if you find yourself travelling around the Zurichsee (Lake Zurich) by foot, car, or boat .... keep this place in Herrliberg in mind for a lunch or dinner stop. And in warm weather there is an attractive outdoor eating area overlooking the lake.

So we arrived in Konstanz one evening and had no idea which place to have dinner in. A quick Yelp…read moresearch revealed Don Alfredo as a 5 stars Italian restaurant, worth checking out. We arrived there around 8.30 pm on a Friday evening and found the place to be very cozy and intimate, located in some sort of underground woody room. However, they had no free seats. The nice waitress told us they might get some free seats in half an hour, so we might just come back then. We left, thinking it will be for sure that we'll come across something at least as nice and we won't need to come back. We didn't. After half an hour we were there again, waiting to be seated. However, there were still no free seats and we had to cluster at a two people table all four of us and wait for another seat to get free. The people there were having lots of fun and the atmosphere seemed to be purely italian (probably that's as good as it gets for an Italian restaurant in Germany). Some of the customers, as well as the staff, were Italian, which is always a very good sign. We ended up waiting for another 20 minutes around, but it was well worth. I had the best pizza in my life there (pizza Parma). My boyfriend had veal steak with risotto (very good) and my other friends had Spinach pizza and pasta with sea food. Portions were huge, so we took the left overs with us. Oh, the tomato soup I had as a starter was one of the best I ever had.. and it only costed 4 euros :) Same is valid for the Tiramisu as a desert.. simply delicious. Add a bottle of wine to this meal of four and the bill was 95 euros. Used with Swiss prices, we found this to be extremely cheap, as well as the quality / price ratio to be super high. It's worth to say that the staff was always a bit confused. I assume they didn't speak German so well and English much less.. they forgot to add some extra toppings to our pizzas and often got parts of the order messed up (2 Espressos instead of one, different kind of wine than what we asked for etc.). However, our food and wine were so delicious that it was no point complaining.. they made us very happy, hence a well deserved 5 stars from me for this one!
