What customers say?

“ The best restaurant experience we had in Switzerland! Food is amazing (we ordered the Lasagne di Carne and Gnocchi), the Staff is very kind and the place is very cozy and warm. They only accept cash payment, but they do the exchange of Euro in the place, so, it was not a problem for us. We definitely recommend this restaurant. ”

“ Stopped here for lunch in August. Amazing food, best gnocchi I’ve ever had - pillowy soft and Tiramisu was delicious. If you are driving from Milan to Andermatt, definitely worth a Michelin-esque stop. One minor thing to note, there were some fruit flies in the vinegar on the table, so check before using. ”
