Santa Lucia

The atmosphere of this restaurant is romantic and very relaxing. The food was excellent and prepared perfectly. The only reason for 4 stars overall was the service. Our server was not friendly or attentive. For example, he did not ask if we needed beverage refills and did not come back to our table until several minutes after we finished the meal. All of food came was brought to our table simultaneously (appetizer, salad and pizza). Again, the vibe and were excellent, our server needed improvement.

I tried the pizza & Italian soup, and chicken pasta. The pizza and soup were good and full of flavor. The pasta, however, it was cold and tasted quite simple, but overall it was still a nice experience.

The place can be described as the most elite GEM! Literally everything from how we were greeted to each and every item we had were just top notch quality & extremely delicious. I really want to go and try more of the items. I loved the interior which was super cozy and had a very lovable vibe. People who attended to us were super polite. All the best to the owners and each and every staff for maintaining such an amazing place. Happy Fooding !!!!

After an extensive search online for Italian cuisine in Zurich, we decided to visit Santa Lucia in Marktgasse. On arrival, we were greeted and shown to a lovely spacious area at the back of the restaurant. The space was filled with natural light thanks to the large windows, which added to the relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Our server welcomed us and, after a short wait, took our drinks order. We placed our food order shortly after and our starter arrived not long later. There was a small mix-up with the dish, but the team quickly corrected it and we appreciated the swift response. The foccacia bread we had was very enjoyable and set us up nicely for the rest of the meal. We then received our pizza and pasta dishes, both of which were lovely and full of flavour. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience in a great location right in the heart of Zurich.

Eating out on the courtyard terrace was nice. Our Italian speaking waiter was very professional and definitely in the right profession as you could see how he enjoyed his work and making the guests feel at home. I had aubergine with cheese that was really delicious. My husband had lasagna that was good too. The red wine was of high quality even if the wine was open (available by glass). Only minus is the high price level but I guess this is a problem everywhere in Switzerland.
