Lieber leser / dear reader (english after the german text)
Ich möchte hier nicht über die unglaublich schöne Aussicht des Restaurants schreiben, da diese selbsterklärend ist, also einfach nur genial! Vorspeise: Wir hatten einen grossen gemischten Salat für zwei Personen der in einer riesen Schüssel serviert wurde. Die Idee als solches ist kreativ, der Salat und das Dressing soweit gut. Hauptspeise: Gericht Nr. 1 - Orecchiette con le polpette (Orecchiette, mit Fleischbällchen und Tomatensauce), waren "al dente" gekocht und die Fleischbällchen schmeckten nicht allzu intensiv nach Fleisch. Gericht Nr. 2 - Penne all’arrabbiata (Peperoncini-Tomatensauce). Beide Speisen wurden traditionell zubereitet, wobei die penne nicht allzu "scharf" waren. Das kann je nach Geschmack als gut oder eben nicht empfunden werden, aber das überlasse ich dem Kunden. Die Preise empfinde ich als angemessen...wir sind ja in der Schweiz:). Service: Die Bedienung war soweit gut und freundlich, aber leider mussten wir von der Vorspeise zur Hauptspeise über 30 Min. warten und wurden vom Personal nicht informiert warum. Zudem wurden unsere Getränke vergessen und erst beim zweiten nachhacken gebracht. Kleine Versäumnisse die halt schade sind und eigentlich nicht sein sollten. Fazit: Wer eine sensationelle Aussicht geniessen will, der soll unbedingt ins "La Vista" gehen, vorausgesetzt sie haben einen Fenster oder einen Platz im Garten. Das Essen siedle ich im mittleren / oberen Mainstream an und es hinterlässt bei mir keine wesentlichen "Spuren".
Dear reader
I don't want to write here about the incredibly beautiful view of the restaurant, as it is self-explanatory,...so just brilliant! Appetizer: We had a large mixed salad for two served in a giant bowl. The idea as such is creative, the salad and dressing so far good. Main course: Dish No. 1 - Orecchiette con le polpette (orecchiette, with meatballs and tomato sauce), were cooked "al dente" and the meatballs did not taste too much like meat. Dish no. 2 - Penne all'arrabbiata (peperoncini tomato sauce). Both dishes were prepared in the traditional way, with the penne not being too "spicy". This may be perceived as good or not, but I leave that up to the customer. I find the prices reasonable...we are in Switzerland :). Service: The service was so far good and friendly, but unfortunately we had to wait over 30 minutes from starter to main course and were not informed by the staff why. In addition, our drinks were forgotten and were only brought at the second chop. Small omissions that are just a pity and actually should not be. Conclusion: Those who want to enjoy a sensational view should definitely go to "La Vista", provided they have a window or a seat in the garden. The food is in the upper mainstream. In other words, it leaves no...
Read moreAmazing view, good coffee, a bit slow service, but the WORST carpaccio de manzo in my life!
I ordered the beef carpaccio, but unfortunately, the slices were soooo thick that I couldn’t even easily cut or chew them. The texture felt unpleasantly like chewing raw meat, and I ended up having to spit some out, which made me feel unwell. I only managed to eat about one-third of the portion before I told the waitress about the issue.
The waitress was kind and offered to replace the dish with something else, but by then I had already lost my appetite and was feeling a bit sick, so I declined and asked her to pass my feedback to the chef.
However, I was surprised to see that the dish was still included on my bill, even though I couldn’t eat most of it. This was disappointing, as I would have expected some gesture of goodwill under the circumstances. I didn’t make a scene and we still paired everything, but will not...
Read moreLove the view. There were three Waiters. One was not smiling, he does not seem to care about being friendly to the Guests. Second Waiter was a bit older than the two, he seemed to be very attentive and friendly. And third was Italian Waiter who does not speak Swiss/German, also not English so we had hard time asking how they are cooking their Pizza. It was rainy that day so we did not have the chance to sit outside. But I just love Switzerland so I still enjoyed their food. By the way, almost all nice Italian restaurant serve bread with olives and butter, they did not have anything for all the guest. It would be nice to talk and eat a bit of bread while waiting for the food. Must be new management. I am not sure. I still give it a four stars because of...
