    So glad I dropped into this place. It was just a few steps from my hotel and it was pretty quiet…read morewhen I first arrived. However, I soon learned that I was just early and within 30 minutes it quickly filled. Location - Lovely! Conveniently located and amazing views of the River with huge picture windows, so even if you're not seated right AT the window, you'll still enjoy the view. Ambiance- friendly and inviting. Colors were bright and the place had an overall modern feel to it. Service - waiters were very friendly and helpful, without being overbearing. While service wasn't particularly fast, after receiving initial salad and beverage. Then received the focaccia, that's when they got pretty packed - so the main course took a while longer. Almost so long I got too full from the salad & bread as I was starving upon arrival. Food - whatever spritzer they recommended was divine and utterly refreshing! The salad was ok, typical green salad - which I inhaled as I was starving...didn't seem as "fresh" as I would have liked, but was ok. The dish they served as garlic focaccia was, I will admit, different from what I expected - which is maybe why I was a little disappointed. It was essentially a thin pizza crust baked with drizzled olive oil and garlic. But again, I was starving and eagerly awaiting my lasagna....waiting...and I ate it. Not bad, but - not fulfilling. The lasagna - I was almost too full to eat at this point because, despite my best efforts to not eat all of the "focaccia" - it took so long, it could not be helped. However, I was so pleasantly surprised to find that it was most certainly worth the wait! It was just the perfect balance of meat, pasta and cheesy, heavenly deliciousness. If I were staying somewhere it could be reheated, I would have ordered another for later! Overall, I loved this place! Would definitely come back here in the future.

    This is a small little pizza parlor located on the banks of the Rhine in Basel, Switzerland. The…read morepizza is delicious, a fairly priced in a town that is quite spendy to eat out in. They have a lovely bank of windows along one side of the restaurant that allows views of the river. It's a lovely place to visit at sunset. I look forward to my return.
