    Friendly - but more of the usual. Another Bindella place, which is an equally comforting and disconcerting thought. Super friendly staff - 5 stars there -, fair prices for Zürich and the food was decent, if only that. Being a Tuscan themed restaurant, it was welcoming to see Pici on the menu. Albeit the place still suffers from that Italian food abroad disease of drowning your pasta in sauce. But all in all a nice place to visit e.g. if you have kids.

    After being in Italy for the past 10 days, from Sicily to Verona, we just had the BEST Italian food of our lives in Zurich! The bread sticks were crispy and light like air and exploded in your mouth. The homemade spaghetti ragu was sumptuous! The salad buffalo mozzarella and basil salad was exquisite! Excellent service by the beautiful Carlota! Highly recommended from the biggest snob in Beverly Hills.

    Cute Italian restaurant off the main roads. In order to get there, you have to walk through the cute cobblestone alleys. I got the tagliatelle al limon.. It was good, but needed some salt to flavor it up a bit. A little on the pricey side, especially for lunch.. about 28 CHF.

    I have been in this Italian restaurant in 2012 and the quality is still the same which is a good thing nowadays. Very good mozzarella di buffala with some very tasty cherry tomatoes, that you should not miss! The olive oil and basaltic vinegar are also excellent, served with some slices of a tasty bread loaf. They have a seasonal menu available called "primavera" which highlights the spring vegetables. The mains for this menu, were basically made with asparagus sauce. I knocked a star for the oily mains that we had as they (the linguini with chicken and asparagus and the veal) were missing some flavours and we're on the bland side. The parmesan risotto,on the other hand, was excellent. The desserts are decent but nothing to brag about. The bill came out at 130chf for 2 (starter, main, dessert, water and coffee) which is the regular "high" bill you are expected to pay to dine in Zurich. The staff is very attentive and talks a bit english. The location is on the main touristic area and can't be missed.

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.

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!
