"Burned, tasteless food. Slow service. They included items on the bill that we did not order and had to have them remove. Either it was a bad night or this place has dramatically gone down hill since the good earlier reviews."

I didn't have the chance to try the food in Ristorante Coccodrillo, because the waiter was so inpolite that didn't even gave us a proper answer why he couldn't serve us. We were 6 people and decided to eat there since there was a blackboard saying that there was a Nachmittag Menu from 14.30 17.30. When we went there at 15.00 the waiter told us that they are closed for an hour. However there were people eating. I went back and I asked what time they will be open and he answered me again in a very inpolite way. I must have bothered him. I insisted and he answered me visibly annoyed that they will open at 16.30. Really bad service.
Just off the main area of the Market square, this is truly a hidden gem. A quaint and quiet place with great ambiance. A diverse menu, but every dish our group selected was phenomenal. To top all of this off was is a wonderful staff that made our dining experience one of the best on our entire European experience. Inside and outside dining, full bar, and great vegan/vegetarian options.
After walking around the old town all day I had a refreshment stop at this restaurant with lovely outdoor seating. I tried one of their tap beers and a glass of Pinot Grigio whilst my wife was taking photos of the lovely old town area. I was served a complimentary bowl of mixed olives.
Our green salad starter was terrific but the rest of our meal was not. My chicken cordon bleu was … okay. My wife’s pasta with a bolognese sauce was … okay. Dessert was okay. With some house wine the meal ran to $100. It was not a $100 meal even for pricey Switzerland.
