Surprisingly good Italian cuisine where you’d not expect it: Restaurant Ca’D’Oro (1. October 2016)
Honestly, I would never have walked into the Ca’D’Oro just because it is right next to the main train station. And admittedly, that is maybe a bit ignorant but it does not look too appealing from the outside – especially, as the first part of the restaurant is a pizza to go place. But TripAdvisor […]
Proper Italian business lunch: Restaurant La Piazzetta (8. July 2016)
I walked by the La Piazzetta so many times but somehow never ended up having lunch or dinner there. Finally, it was the time to enjoy lunch there. There is a lunch menu which is decent in price but it was not to my liking today – so I went à la carte. The “Insalata […]
19. January 2016: Ristorante Pizzeria Cantinone
Although I have been living in Milan for a year and I have driven by Lugano like 50 times, I never managed to actually stop there. However, finally I managed to spend a couple of days in Lugano so of course I had to try some places. I started with “Tris di Polenta “Cantinone”; with […]
14. January 2016: Restaurant Golosone
The “mixed salad” which is part of the menu is rather standard but at least they try to pimp it a bit with one slice of carrots :) The “Pizza San Luca (tomato, mozzarella with three different kinds of salami, herbs)” (CHF 22.00) which was one of the lunch options was lovely. It would have […]
13. January 2016: Restaurant Santa Lucia
The “Insalata Pollo” (CHF 25.00) was what I expected. A decent salad with some chicken on top. And that is pretty much what you get. Nothing fancy, nothing bad – just a decent salad. The waiter was jovial, friendly, and swift, and managed to execute taken up orders rather quickly. The atmosphere of the Santa […]
21. August 2015: Restaurant DOMM
I have visited a couple of restaurants which are part of the EasyDining.ch program – and I must say, so far this was definitely the best visit. As a greeting from the kitchen, “polenta with porcini” was served. Definitely not something you usually get as a greeting from the kitchen and overall very lovely. However, […]
8. May 2015: Restaurant Vapiano Hamburg
It is long ago since I have had lunch at a Vapiano – I went for a “tomato soup” (EUR 2.30) and a “Caesar Salad” (EUR 7.00) with “chicken” (EUR 2.50). The tomato soup was sound as well as the caesar salad with chicken. However, somehow I got the feeling that the salad used to […]
30. April 2015: Restaurant Augusta Giovanni
The “Insalata Caprese with mozzarella di buffala” (EUR 11.00) was fine. The tomatoes were not really ripe but it is also not really tomato time yet. However, the buffala was nothing special and frankly speaking I consider EUR 11.00 a bit expensive for what you get. The olive oil on the other hand was very […]
