Mediterranean cuisine restaurants Zurich

This classic Italian trattoria sells out every night, weekdays and weekends. And it's not just because it's located on one of Zurich's most touristy streets. Reservations are therefore highly recommended, especially in the evenings. It's easy to understand why the place is so popular once you're inside: every table is perfectly laid, the service is always impeccable and the plates are each more beautiful than the last. When the weather's nice, there's a terrace where you can soak up the sun with a good pizza.

It is said that an Italian restaurant must be run by transalpine people. Well, the Celia restaurant proves us wrong! Here, although the whole menu smells of olive oil, there is not a single person from the boot in the kitchen or in the dining room... and this does not prevent the pizzas from competing with any of the competitors from Naples, Milan or Rome. Note: this is one of the few restaurants open on Sundays in the neighbourhood to welcome you in a warm and friendly atmosphere. To discover.

Bolognese pasta, four-cheese pasta, carbonara pasta, ricotta-spinach ravioli... Tschingg is the specialist in pasta on the go. On the menu, you'll find a dozen different flavors that can be combined with minestrone soup and, of course, ice cream. Unless you're tempted by tschinggmisu, the famous tiramisù. This small Italian-style fast-food chain is also present in Zurich at 2 Oberdorfstrasse and 353 Schaffhauserstrasse. Perfect for a quick meal between two visits.

Lovers of pasta to Italian, welcome in Hot Pasta, located in the middle of the neighborhood of the university! In all its forms, for all the tastes, most difficult will be to choose. Especially, do not come at midday if you want to avoid the student mob. Or, you install purposely at the time of rush and imagine that you study at the Polytechnic school, formerly attended by Einstein. Buon appetito!

The concept is known but still works: we go to the different stands (pizzas, pasta, salads...) to order and we go back when the beeper we were given starts to vibrate. We then settle down at large tables unless we prefer a more intimate atmosphere. Finally, everything is set up at the exit by giving the card that you have loaded with each order. This system is very practical and particularly effective among young people, especially since the quality is high. In fact, everything is done to the minute in front of us.

The twenty or so Molino pizzerias and ristorante in Switzerland have been around since 1988. It's fair to say that when you open the doors, you're entering Italy. Here, we don't mess around with authentic recipes from the Botte region, such as pasta fatta in casa with ragù, a recipe dating back to 1891! Respect for the product, a relaxed atmosphere and friendly service await you. Whether you choose pizza, fresh pasta, risotto or secondi, everything is homemade, from antipasti to desserts. The restaurant is open on Sunday evenings, which is always convenient.
