"I had already been there a week before and, seeing the two restaurants, one in front of the other, I opted for Amalfi this time. Impeccable service and excellent cuisine, although the sauce for the spaghetti with clams was not creamy, it was liquid. I arrived after 12:30 and for the table, there was no choice... the worst."

"A great high quality Italian restaurant. Food was excellent. The service friendly and good. Parking can be a challenge, but you have good public transportation. Pricing is high, as expected."

"This is an outstanding Italian cuisine-and-dining experience in the heart of Zurich. As good as you could find anywhere. The service is first-class and the quality of the dishes is just excellent. The location is just off the lake, and has a suburban feel to it, with a lovely terrace and an elegant interior. The fish menu is superb. Octopus, which is a delicate dish, was melt in the mouth. As were the other dishes. We enjoyed a truly wonderful dinner - if you love Italian cuisine and you’re looking for a guaranteed experience close to the heart of the city, don’t look any further."

"Friendly staff, we especially appreciate that they even provided a simple pasta dish not on the regular menu for our toddler. The food was tasty and nicely presented. My wife and I felt that the portions could have been a bit bigger."

"High-end Italian restaurant. Good service and high-quality food in the business district of Zürich. The lunch menu is really well priced; the à la carte dishes are good but overpriced, but it is Switzerland. Prices are higher than in the rest of Europe. My risotto with saffron and scallops was excellent. For a good business lunch, I will return."

"Booked this place for 2 people on Monday @7pm. The service was fantastic! The food is delicious! The atmosphere is super chill and love the vibe. Gives a very cozy feeling. The risottos in this place are delicious! I had the grilled tuna which tastes super exquisite! The panna cotta only had the fish gelatine in it! They can also do a non alcoholic Hugo as well Overall a wonderful experience and I would like to revisit with my husband"
