Very accommodating restaurant in the old city of Bern…read more I arrived at Restaurant Schmiedstube at about 7:45 p.m. on a Thursday evening and was immediately seated. I was able to get a menu with a partial English translation (my German is too limited to order much beyond sausages and cutlets). The restaurant offered a modest but sufficient selection, including several standard Bern dishes. There was also a decent selection of wines. I ordered pan-fried trout topped with apples and served on rosti that was very good. The fish was excellently done, and the rosti was good, if a bit oily. The prices were reasonable--CHF 43.20 for dinner, two glasses of wine, and pear sorbet. There are enough good choices on the menu to make this a great place for a family or group.

Italien restaurant in the middle of university quarter of Berne…read more I had a business meeting at noon there.

Service is efficient - food is typically italian - prices are moderate.

Casa d'Italia was very disappointing. From the slow service we received to the dishes that we ate…read more We ordered the 5 dl of the Chianti which turned out to be a little overwhelming and didn't suit our meals (an issue we should have realized). The focaccia bread was the highlight of our meal. It had a light tomato sauce with fresh arugula and cherry tomatoes, finished off with a light drizzle of olive oil. I ordered the seafood risotto which consisted of shrimp, mussels, clams, and calamari. Aside from the presentation, the dish was very off. The mussels and shrimp were the only edible seafood on the plate, and the risotto lacked flavor. My friend got the gnocchi pomodoro which was very basic and also had poor flavor. It tasted like watered down tomato paste with a small pinch of salt. The pizza that other tables ordered looked very good, so I would assume that would be the thing to get if you find yourself here. Based off of the service we received, I would not choose to return.

First things first, the food and service were excellent. No complaints there. This is among the…read morebest Ethiopian food I've ever had. However, there must have been a colossal mistake, because we've eaten in many Ethiopian restaurants, including in Geneva, and the amount of food we got for what we paid could only have been meant for one person, but we were charged for two portions.. Suffice it so say we left there hungry and stunned after we paid our bill. This has never happened to us before anywhere , so I hope it was just a billing error. I had to take two stars off. Otherwise it would have been five. Sorry!

The friendly staff helped in so many ways--they gave us a great tourist map, stowed away our luggage after check out so that we could see the city unhindered. Gave us advice on tourist spots to go to. Best of all--the hotel is literally 1.5 blocks from the train station. You literally walk down a pedestrian only street and take an escalator down one floor to the indoor train station (Bern's mall-like gathering spot with restaurants and stores). What could be more convenient than that? Truly an awesome place to stay!
