Stazione Paradiso — Restaurant in Zurich

Un posto che si ispira alla cucina italiana, ma dell'ospitalità italiana non c'è nulla!

Yesterday I left Stazione Paradiso after ordering a focaccia and waiting 1.15 h. After about 45 minutes (not 5 minutes) I approached the owner or manager asking if perhaps I had missed the call of the pager, as I had already been there and remembered that last time it did not take that long. His colleague kindly suggested to check with the lady working at the oven. She explained to me that there had been some confusion in the orders and that she would prepare my focaccia right away. I said that there was no problem and returned to my table. Another 30 minutes went by, but nothing happened. So, I went back to the lady. She said she had been calling me. I replied that the pager had not rung and that I could not wait any longer. When I tried to explain the situation to the "gentleman" in charge of the place he did not show the slightest interest, let alone apologize. He dismissed me like some kind of nasty client trying to make a fuss, rather than listen to someone who was reporting a problem. The exact words were: "Do you want the money back?

The shop isn't exactly cheap, but it's affordable, Swiss prices, let's say. But in any case, a great mixture of alternative and leisure culture, surrounded by trees and flowers, awaits you: improvised, charming, communicative. At night, unlike other subway stations, it lights up attractively, comfortably and heartwarmingly. This station is just a friendly place. A perfect hideaway in the middle of the city. A place that bathes all the worries of this world - temporarily. If you haven't been to the famous Stazione during your visit to Zurich, you've...

The cutest bar at the river, built in a railway carriage! Lively atmosphere, but super relaxed at the same time. No problem to sit at the table in your swimsuit, because you have just jumped in the river to refresh yourself. Their focaccia are just amazing, with very original combinations of tastes. I love them all! My favoutite place in the city to spend a hot summer day and to chill on a warm summer evening under the...
