Trattoria Alfredo — Restaurant in Adelboden

We had high hopes for this place, since we eat at Italian restaurants in every city we visit, and they have all been exceptionally good at certain dishes. This place indeed had an exceptional bruschetta, but that’s where the positives end. As we eagerly (and hungrily) waited for the main dishes, the place started to get crowded and so warm that I started to sweat. We asked for ice for our drink, but they didn’t even have ice… not a great sign. Finally, the main dishes arrived. We ordered a margarita pizza and the mushroom risotto. Apparently, the chef tipped over a can of salt that feel on our food, since it was so salty we didn’t finish either dishes. The risotto was salty, but edible enough that we ate half of it out of hunger, but the pizza salt (which we had just one slice each) was so salty the taste lingered till we cleansed our pallets with ice-cream. The weird part was the manager came over midway to ask about our meal, and we told him how salty it was. He said he will check and get back to us. He didn’t come back, and instead just sent the waitress to tell us nothing was wrong with the food. As we left the restaurant with our plates barely touched, we passed the manager as he just shrugged as if to say, “sorry you didn’t like the food, nothing I can do”. Surely there is more he could’ve done, but I’m not one to have a confrontation over such matters. TL;DR - yummy bruschetta, salty main dishes, average service...

We enjoyed a really delicious dinner here during our trip to Adelboden. We normally don't eat meat, so our options are generally limited to the typical spaghetti with tomato sauce or maybe a truffle pasta, which is great but sometimes I like having more variety, you know!? Anyway, I was really excited to see that they had this pasta with a tomato cream sauce (yes it's different from regular tomato sauce...ha). We got that (sorry I can't remember the name) and a gorgonzola gnocchi. Both were totally delicious and creamy and a great texture. Yesss! We also ordered dessert because why not. Ice cream always tastes good. Oh and the bruschetta was...

Visited it in the middle of the day to have some food. The waiter told us that only pizzas and salads are served so we took a pizza to share. Considering the fact that this place claims to be an Italian eatery, pizza was bad. It was soggy and not appealing. Service was friendly though. The thing I hated was that there are flies inside the restaurant and some of the tables had those small venting machines standing on to scare the flies away. Good solution but gosh just treat the problem not...
