il giardino urbano — Restaurant in Basel

I love things uncomplicated. Easy. Simple. Down to earth. This place was exactly that. Exactly mine. The principle? Look it up online. Is it warm enough? Then go — but only when it opens. It’s a concept that makes you question how it even makes money. But that’s not my problem. It’s theirs. And it works. Really works. The pizza? Fantastic. I kept wondering — what’s the pasta like? You sit by the railway tracks. Very close. Like New Delhi-close. But no trains rush by. Just a distant hum. You walk in, order up front. Tracks, Tables, and Taste

Pick a table. Grab a seat. Wait for your food. Eat. Enjoy. Leave. It’s all so easy. No fuss. No frills. Nothing to impress. Nothing fake. I loved...

One word to describe this place - AMAZING! First of all the pizza is delicious. Every ingredient is really tasty, especially the dough which is super thin and crispy and the tomato sauce that just has that special „something”.

Last but not least - the owners who are extremely kind and make you feel welcomed at their place. When in Basel you definitely have to come to...

Thin crust Italian style and very tasty. I hope I got to come back to here in the future. Although I don't live...
