As an Italian, I have to say this was a terrible experience. It’s yet another radical chic spot made for Instagram rather than for people who actually care about good food. Prices are outrageous and the quality is far from high.
I ordered a supplì for 6 CHF — in Rome you pay at most 1.50 CHF, and the difference is enormous. In Rome they fry it fresh on the spot, here it was clearly pre-fried and then reheated in the oven, which makes any fried food completely inedible.
Same story with the service. In Rome, even with 20 people waiting, you’ll get your food within 2 minutes — otherwise people start getting impatient. In Zurich, I waited 20 minutes with just one person in line. That’s madness.
And don’t even get me started on the arancino: 15 CHF for something that in Sicily costs 3 CHF and tastes twice as good.
This is just another place for people wearing vintage clothes and Asics sneakers. Definitely not an authentic Italian experience.

A must visit coffee shop/bakery in Vienna. Best pistachio croissant. Even better than in Rome... Cozy environment and a busy place as it must be popular with locals and tourists alike. Loved it.
