Zurich – Cacio e Pepe is a Roman pasta dish. “Cacio e Pepe” means “cheese and pepper” in several central Italian languages. As the name suggests, the ingredients of the dish are very simple and include only black pepper and Pecorino Romano cheese (Wiki).
I had fried little sardins, filled artichokes and parmigiana for starter. These three dishes were absolutely yummy and I can’t wait to order these again during my next visit very soon! As a main I tried the spaghetti cacio e pepe. The spaghetti were great and al dente, the sauce tasty as well but next time I definitely want to try the cream-free carbonara, which must be fantastic.

Zurich – A classic in Zurich – I’ve seen the restaurant so many times by passing by but never came about. Last Friday we snatched the last table with elegant white cloth. We were so warmly welcome, you feel almost at home.
The waiters know what to do to make you feel comfortable and happy. When I couldn’t read the label on the wine bottle the waiter was so kind to lend me his glasses 
I had a beautifully soft artichokes salad as a starter and a perfectly cooked veal cutlet, accompanied with homemade pappardelle. If you like Italian kitchen in a calm and elegant atmosphere, you need to visit the place.

Zurich – Readers of my blog know that two years ago my favourite Italian was Don Leone, than Massimo opened La Barracca (currently my favourite) and now he gifted Zurich with a new venue. Some food is similar as in Barraca but no pizza and the restaurant is more – as the name says – an elegant dining location. The spot must be known by many as former Zentraleck.

As primi I had fresh pasta with sausages and artichokes followed by tagliata di vitello with rocket salad….just wonderful! Definitively worth visiting.
