22. July 2014: Restaurant Pizzeria Rosso
You will never walk randomly by the Pizzeria Rosso as it is located in the backyard of some buildings and is not even labelled as a restaurant from the outside (or at least I did not see anything with regards to that). The place is atmospheric but definitely a bit alternative – you have to […]
19. July 2014: Ristorante Cantina della Vetra
I have been to the Ristorante Cantina della Vetra already a couple of times (1. June 2010, 6. June 2010, and 29. May 2011) but the last time was more than three years ago. I was looking forward to visit again. I started with “fresh goat cheese with pistacchios crumble, Sardinian bread and peach salad” […]
19. July 2014: Ivory Terrace @ The Westin Palace Milan
The breakfast at the Ivory Terrace @ The Westin Palace Milan is definitely a great place to have breakfast – you get to sit outside on the sun terrace and enjoy the warmth of the morning while having the chance to chose from a rather large buffet what to eat. There is a nice selection […]
18. July 2014: Ristorante Alice
Maybe a bit an odd start for a review, but this book is really one of the best purchases I have made in my life: Where Chefs Eat: A Guide To Chefs’ Favourite Restaurants is a guide to restaurants where Michelin starred chefs eat when they are out privately. So far, I had only tried […]
16. July 2014: Restaurant Il Salotto
After finally having been able to order with our Tamil waiter, the amuse bouche was “tomato mozzarella basil” which was a good start into the evening. The starter “thinly cut fennel, orange, fresh pecorino, roasted pine nuts served with Sicilian olive oil, lemon and avocado vinaigrette” (CHF 14.50) was a good combination of flavours as […]
14. July 2014: Restaurant Don Leone
It is a solid four years ago since I have been at the restaurant Don Leone (see review) and I was obviously curious how things have changed. In order to obtain a good overview I started with “Degustazione misto Salumi e Formaggi” (CHF 17.50 per person) and while the selection was not vast it was […]
10. June 2014: Restaurant Il Pantheon
The “Insalata Caprese” (CHF 15.90) is served with good and smooth mozzarella which is pretty aromatic. The tomatoes were okay but lacked a bit in taste. I went for the weekly special – “smoothly simmered roastbeef” (CHF 31.50) which was generally speaking fine. But somehow it was not the best piece of meat they had […]
27. May 2014: Restaurant MASI Wine Bar
The MASI Wine Bar only recently opened its doors and as I am a huge fan of Masi wines I obviously had to try this restaurant and I started with a “Insalata di Calamari” (CHF 22.00) which was very tasty as it was fresh, not chewy at all and the way it was spiced up […]
