Familienbetrieb, klein, gemütlich, einfach, preislich gut, vor allem aber sehr lecker. Viel gemütlicher als grosse Touristenrestaurants. Melanzane alla parmigiana wird jedesmal frisch gemacht. Das dauert etwas, aber das Ergebnis ist super.

After reading all of the bad reviews, I'm shocked. I walked in and ordered a prosciutto & mozzarella schiacciata in Italian... waited for a bit and then left. Let me tell you, that was one of the most delicious schiacciata's I've ever had. Respect goes a long way!!
