Decent Italian business lunch with non-attentive service: Restaurant Amalfi (10. January 2017)
I have been a couple of times at the Restaurant Amalfi but it is quite some time ago since the last visit. A lunch menu for CHF 19.00 sounded like a great bargain and definitely untypical for Zurich. The “potato cream soup” as a starter was decent. It could have been a tiny bit thicker for my personal gusto but it definitely helps you warm up during winter times.
The “risotto al pomodoro, con rucola e mozzarella di bufala” on the other hand was actually great. And a way bigger portion than expected. While we were served pretty much straight away after being seated because we were kind of early for lunch, the service quality and attention deteriorated during the course of the meal. At the very end the waiter did almost not see us and it took ages for him to bring the bill.
The ‘discount’ you get on the food prices is taken again by the prices of the beverages. A litre of San Pellegrino accounts for CHF 9.50 and a double espresso for CHF 7.00. Definitely not on the cheap side! However, a good place for a business lunch if you are not in a rush.

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.
