My long lost friend tried to impress me with her favourite Italian restaurant which apparently, so she tells me, had a Michelin star. We entered a shop-like atmosphere where Italian food was served at the counter and were led to a high counter-like shared table with high bar stools. My friend had reserved for lunch. I asked for some tap water which cause horror on the waitress’ face, telling me that it was against the restaurant’s policy to serve Leitungswasser. the only bottled water on offer was St Pellegrino. My friend did not allow me to drink bottled water which had come across the Alps. Since I do not drink coca cola (was that actually locally produced?) or any other soft drinks, I was left with a dilemma and wondered whether I should just take some water from the too adjacent toilet?

We made a reservation for 4 to celebrate our wedding day. Even though the reservation was made well in advance, we were crammed into a corner. The restaurant was informed about the special occasion but nothing special was prepared.

Nothing special, far away from a Michelin Star level that I am sure this restaurant aspires to be at. For 100€+ per person for a full course meal (drinks included), one would expect a bit more. The waiters were extraordinary, attentive but discrete, overall...
