La Corsa Al Cilento — Restaurant in Montreux

Unfortunately, I came in here tonight after trying to reserve online but I did not get a response from the enquiry I made. I walked in with my husband, smiling at who I expect was the owner behind the counter and spoke to him and said "hello, do you have our reservation or a table for two? I was then mocked, and the owner shouted, "gah ga bla bla bla no English I speak 5 other languages not English" (this was spoken in perfectly understandable English).

We've travelled a lot, and even with language barriers, never have I been spoken to like that. With a lot of my family and friends residing in Italy, I was shocked to be welcomed or rather unwelcome in this way to an Italian restaurant. It didn't feel like somewhere I'd want to eat, which is such a shame as the food looks nice based on other reviews. Cannot recommend based on...

Chef Isen prepares delicious Cilento dishes that are well worth the wait. Mario is an absolute treasure of Montreux and his restaurant is practically a historical Swiss fixture all in it's self. This is a 2-man show so if you're in a rush, this place is not for you. Mario is a boisterous character who loves to engage with his customers and make them smile. He serves with the heart of family and delivers an experience that makes you feel at home even when you're halfway across the world. The House Lasagna and the Raviolis Presidente are fantastic but any dish here is excellent. Please try the tiramisu. My friend has had tiramisu from around the world and ranks Chef Isen's tiramisu amongst his top 3. La Corsa Al Cilento is easily one of my favourite places in the world and my favourite restaurant in...

The best meal and experience we had in Switzerland and the best Italian food - even better than the food we tried in Italy. The owner Mario made us fall in love with the place instantly. He is the soul of that restaurant and makes you feel like you've never had a real restaurant experience before. Apart from the great atmosphere the food is just to die for - we liked it so much that we ate there two days in a row and we did not regret it. On both occasions the food tasted home made and simply delicious. The best meal I have had was Ravioli di Tartuffi recommended by Mario. Compliments to the chef who is clearly doing what he loves and makes the dining experience one of a kind. A few months have gone by and I still think about our time there! Definitely made us want to go back to Montreux....
