22. October 2014: Restaurant San Valentina
The “Carpaccio alla piemontese with rocket salad and parmesan” (CHF 15.50) looked okay – and tasted okay. The beef did not really seem too fresh but was still okay overall. However, it was not the most pleasant start for a lunch.
The main course on the other hand was way richer – the “tagliatelle dello zar (homemade noodles with chicken, rocket salad and a saffron cream sauce” (CHF 24.50) were rich and aromatic, and the chicken was nicely juicy. However, the tagliatelle were not really served al dente which was a bit of a disappointment. But also considering the price of the dish, it was definitely a sound dish.
The prices are fair for the dishes as well as for the water (1l, CHF 9.60) but I consider CHF 7.50 for a double espresso quite a stretch – actually close to inacceptable! However, the waiter was friendly and quick at all times and also up for a small joke from time to time. Overall, the Restaurant San Valentina is a place which is absolutely fair to go to for lunch.

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
