La Pasta

Homemade pasta...

Reviewed By Oscar_Retriever

We picked this restaurant partly because of TripAdvisor reviews and partly because their website talked about slow, relaxing meals. That second part certainly did not happen. We arrived at 7:30 pm and completed. Meal complete with drinks, appetizer, and mains in an hour. The food was delicious and spot on in terms of flavor and quantity. However, before our appetizer was finished, our mains arrived without any apology for the poor timing. The service was brusque and rushed and we did not feel particularly welcome. So if the service was more welcoming and timed, this could have been a four star review. The eggplant parmigiana was very good. The ravioli filled with pumpkin and sausage tastedGood, but the cook neglected the sausage. We didn’t complain but this cost the other star. Dear Guest,We appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences with us. So sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations. But please do not expect us like a 5 star Hotel. We are not high class Italian Restaurant, just a small, friendly restaurant famed for its home-made Pasta. Although we have not fully met your expectation, we hope to welcome you back, to convince you of the quality of the house and the team.Best regards,EnzoBest regards,Enzo

Restaurant Orsini

Reviewed By zelal25

I have visited Orsini many times since my last report and every time it is a great experience: personalized, and italian-friendly welcome; nice set tables, far enough from the next one to have private conversations; great menus, excellent food. My favourite is the sole with artichokes, but the venitian veal-liver is second-to-none too.Good wine liste, with prices acceptable for Zurich standards... A lovely experience each time.

Ristorante Da Angela

Reviewed By hbweber

SummaryWe can only recommend the place! Authentic Italian food, on the pricier side though, in a pleasantly relaxed atmosphere. An unexpected experience in Zurich. Fresh products were prepared deliciously. The only improvement possible: the squid salad was a tiny bit too cold when served.Restaurant products• There is parking space available• The website is updated• Oil or butter was offered as well as ‚greeting from the kitchen‘• We ordered: mineral water with gas, two salads, a squid salad, vitello tonnato, cappelletti “Angela” and tortelli al burro e sugo. For desert we choose panna cotta with strawberries and Semifreddo al Torrone along with two cups of espresso.Restaurant Facilities• Comfortable chairs. Tasteful paintings. No plants or fresh floral displays• Secure coat check is not available• Staff uniforms are appropriate and free from any sign of wear or dirt• Flatware was not tarnished• Restaurant lighting is comfortable, enabling menu reading, but privacy and ambiance maintained• No background music• The dining room temperature is comfortable and unnoticed by guests• Dining room exhibits an organized appearance; tables are uniformly setRestaurant Service• We were greeted personally by charming owner Angela when we entered the restaurant and bidden good-bye when we left as well.• Staff is friendly, very professional and approaches guests upon arrival and whenever needed without any delay• The payment process was efficient and swift

Za'atar

Reviewed By hfritzinger

At the end of a two week trip throughout Europe, my husband and I made reservations at Za'atr to enjoy a last meal before we headed home. We arrived just before 7pm in the very small restaurant (only 4 tables inside) and proceeded to order the mezze platter for two. We got to choose 4 cold dishes and 3 warm dishes and it was CHF 63. The food arrived quickly and totally blew us away with its flavor and freshness. The falafel were the best we've had outside of the Middle East!!! While the restaurant may not look like much from the outside or inside, trust me, it is a hidden gem that you simply must visit! If you would like a seat, I would suggest making reservations which I was able to easily make via email. Definitely stop here while in Zurich if you love Lebanese food!

The cabbie couldn't really find the place because it was not what he was really looking for, I believe. And my wife and I felt more or less the same way. But there it was; not very impressive on the outside, and the inside was only slightly better. But the service was marvelous and the food was superb. The wine list was pretty good, too, BUT -- like everything else in this wonderful old city -- EXPENSIVE. I'd still recommend it highly.Dear GuestWe are pleased to hear that we were able to convince you of our product and services despite initial difficulties.Thank you very much for your recommandation and for the dedicated time to write this feedback.We would be happy to welcome and spoil you again in the nearer future.In the meantime we wish you all the best.Best regardsAnita Ladner, Restaurationsleiterin

Haus zum Rueden

Reviewed By GeneseoSupremo

Wow, what a fantastic lunch along the Limmat River in Old Town Zurich! It started with fresh baked bread (delicious) and then I ordered the veal. Zurich Style he says is not breaded, and it’s in a rich mush team sauce that will force you to use the bread to get every drop off the plate. As I did. Wonderful.

We visited the restaurant on a Saturday evening. The pizza was probably the best ever, the service not so much.The Good.1. The pizza was amazingly good! Probably the best ever and that is why the place gets 5 stars. The pizzas were thin Italian style, the sauce was great and the toppings plentiful and tasty. The ham and pepperoni was superb. 2. The other food was good and the outside space was nice to sit in.2. Online reservation was very easy.The Bad.1. From the outside, the place does not look the best. Outside tables are around a fountain and are quite tightly spaced whilst the inside is pleasantly decorated.2. The service was definitely hit and miss. Despite having a reservation, the very busy waiters took some time to seat us. The food was quite slow coming but at the end they ordered us a taxi which was helpful.3. By international standards, the place is expensive but reasonable for Switzerland. A pizza was about £20. OverallThe pizza was amazing and it is a pizza restaurant so despite more average service, it has to be 5 stars. Would definitely return.

TREMONDI Restaurant & Bar

Reviewed By chooun14

The food was good, the reservation was smooth, but in general we were very underwhelmed and are puzzled by the fantastically high rating on tripadvisor, which is why we wanted to share a review. This is a restaurant that we would have found by the dozens in London or Singapore where we used to live. The food was fresh and it was very tasty, but the menu was very limited and we could actually not find anything we liked (Vitello Tonnato as the only meat option when there are at least 2 overpriced ravioli dishes, for example; and for fish only the raw tartar...all of this is way too taste-specific and there was non dish that would suit a more general palate. The menu changes every month, and it had changed on that particular day with the menu not available on the website...we actually saw other parties sit down and ask about items on the menu and leave again, but we decided to stay). Desert was also overpriced and not that great. We had a table outside, which was on the sidewalk with many people walking by very close to us (and given it is adjacent to Langstrasse, these people were sometimes not very pleasant or asking us for money). In general, this is a very expensive option for a night out, food is good, but we were looking for an anniversary dinner/special experience, which is clearly was not.Dear chooun14Thank you so much for your review. We apologize for the inconvenience regarding not timely updating of our menu on our webpage. Unfortunately there was a technical error with our server. However it‘s true that our menu is limited, but it changes completely every month and this is how our concept works. We serve seasonal dishes and for August we offer a light but a thoughtful menu. Additionally it’s important to tell you, that we work with vegetables and fruits from our own garden.In conclusion we want to mention, that in this district of the city different people roam around and we unfortunately don‘t have any influence on it.Thank you so much for coming and we hope that you visit us again, maybe in the winter months with dishes that you may prefer more.Kind RegardsJohnny
