Little on the pricy side but relative to everything else in Basel, WORTH IT. It was super fresh! Only lost a star for the challenge in communication. Be prepared. German/Italian speaking only.

Overall, highly recommend for date or business meal. PS: a glass wine was 5-5.50 CHF (cheaper than most restaurants)

We ended up with the Fiorentina pizza - excellent!, the carbonara (good enough - the waiter didn't like our choice but I wanted guanciale!) and a pasta with huge tubes and a delicious meat sauce that the waiter suggested as a correction to whatever we ordered first. And he was right! The carbonara was ok, but everything else was better! We had panna cotta for dessert and it was lovely.

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.
