"I was really looking forward to dinner at this restaurant. Food: I got the 5 course tasting menu. The food was very good. The portions are large, and the whole table left feeling full. The courses were well paced and got increasingly larger as they progressed. They are happy to accommodate your dietary preferences for the tasting menu, to some extent. The food was well prepared and came out looking fabulous. The flavors were wonderful. We loved the food here. However, we inquired about pairing the food with wine. They did not seem to comprehend the notion, the wait staff did not understand wine at all and were of very little help in guiding us. This was both surprising and disappointing.Ambiance: Modern and wonderful, the entryway of the restaurant is spectacular. We loved the modern touches and the ambiance. However, we were one of three large tables occupied all evening, and the restaurant seem to lack spirit and seemed dead. Service: I thought the service here was average to bad. I arrived early, before the larger group, with the thought of getting a cocktail. The bar outside was open but the bartender seemed reluctant to serve me anything unless I had a reservation. Admittedly, I did not know the name on the reservation, or the party size or any detail for that matter, and he kept badgering me with questions until I asked if I should get a cocktail or leave. There was not a soul at the bar or the restaurant. As mentioned above, the staff know very little about the wine. They seemed to be going through the motions, not warm or friendly. Yes they were attentive but there was something missing. The tasting menu is great and well priced. However, the service can be a lot better."

"Pizza soup or police My companion complained about the “4-Formaggie” because it tasted bitter, burnt and was also raw inside (picture). Any normal restaurant owner would apologize and ask if they could make a new pizza. Everything is different in this restaurant. The first thing he did was wave his cell phone around, show us pizza pictures from the internet and run away from the table in a huff. We sat there stupidly and didn't know what would happen next. After a few minutes the waiter came over again and pressed a cell phone with a German-speaking lady to my companion's ear. Another fruitless discussion took place. After I had finished my pizza, which by the way was undercooked but less burnt, we got up and wanted to pay at the cash register. There we met the spiteful owner again, who presented us with the full bill for both pizzas. Since we made it clear right away that we would only pay for a pizza, the discussion started again in front of the staff and guests. He talked himself into such a rage and gesticulated stupidly with his hands that even his “Pizza Award 2018”, which he pointed out to us, fell off the wall. His last joker was now; “I’ll call the police, they’ll be there in 2 minutes.” When we arrived after 5 minutes. When we asked where the police had gone, we discovered that he hadn't called them at all. He only did that now and shortly afterwards there was actually an officer in the bar. The innkeeper then talked his way out of it by saying that we didn't want to pay, whereupon we explained that that wasn't true and that we were only paying for what we had eaten. As usual, the officers first checked the personal details. Because of language problems, a second, third and fourth uniformed person was added. When we put the money on the counter for our consumption (without burnt pizza, of course), the situation relaxed and we were able to leave. The law enforcement officers were also quite irritated by the incident. On the way to the lake we laughed and scoffed at the origin of this ominous pizza award... Maybe it would be better to say at what temperature a pizza needs to be baked. Because of the many positive reviews, his relationship must be great. When we later told a local Ticino what we had experienced, it didn't surprise him at all and he told us that Ticino or Italians often stumble over their arrogance. The German-Swiss restorers are often much more successful in Ticino."
