"Restaurant ist sehf zentral und bietet Innen- und Aussenplätze an.Athmosphäre und Deko angenehm. Der Service war auch gut, mussten nur etwas lange warten zum bestellen (Restaurant war leer gewesen). Die Karte ist gross und vielfältig, für alle was dabei und Preisklasse total ok.Ich bestellte ein Gorgonzola Cordon Bleu; es war gut, aber vermutlich nicht frisch, weil meine Penade ganz matschig war und nicht knusprig :(Gehen aber auf jeden Fall wieder hin für den Rest der Karte."

"Travelling by train from Lausanne to Zurich I felt like a break in the city of Biel/Bienne to have a bite and to try some local wine, since the area around the lake of Biel is a well known wine growing area. On that warm summer evening most locals had been heading towards the lake, thus the center was rather quiet. From the railway station I walked down the Bahnhofstrasse, where there are no cars, only city busses going through. On the right hand side can be found several eateries with outdoor seating. I chose the last one with almost no guests, but a friendly looking waitress. My order had been a glass of local white wine as a starter and the excellent waitress, who was also very informed about wine growing, recommended me a 'Schafiser '. Schafis is a village near the lake and it has given here the name to the Chasselas grape, which is so popular all over Western Switzerland and which is known as 'Fendant ' in the Valais. The modern looking restaurant in a functionalist style has all kind of dishes, also Fondue and Steak Tartare, but I went for a 'Falken Plättli '. On a plate of black slate are served cold cuts (roast beef, dry-cured ham, salami) and very little cheese, all topped by gherkins, caper berries and baby-tomatoes. Slices of dark bread and butter come with it and also a peppermill is brought along. To accompany the dish I asked for some local red wine and the waitress suggested a 'Pinot Noir ' from the village of Ligerz. The two deciliter came in a small caraffe. It was a quiet dinner and I enjoyed sitting outside and doing some people watching. After the tourist crowds of Montreux a few hours earlier it was relaxing to see no tourists here,on the other hand a for Switzerland surprising high number of obviously local residents with overseas roots."

"For fish lovers this restaurant has to be a top destination in Biel. Their fish soup served with lovely garlic bread is very different than most broth or cream based fish soups but also incredibly rich and tasty. And the fish skewer comes with a lovely sauce plus generous amounts of spinach and rice. Their wine list is mostly based on local production but there is also a small international selection. Along the permanent dessert card staples, they also serve seasonal dishes and the spring means strawberries and coupe Romanoff, an absolutely perfect choice with lots and lots of fruit. Making a reservation is probably a good idea especially on busy weekend days."

"I had the pleasure of dining at Ristorante Italia both at lunch and dinner, during a leisure trip to Biel. The menu presents genuine Italian dishes made with top quality ingredients (I am Italian and I can state that the ingredients were excellent with deep flavors and a selection of traditional pizzas. I discovered that all the pasta is home and handmade which makes the experience even more authentic! On top of the tasty dishes I want to praise the warm and dedicated service (Michele the owner will always anticipate any your request which conveys a sense of familiar that makes you feel good. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant to locals who are looking for a true gastronomic Italian experience."

"Spontan war unser Besuch im Casa Miracoli. Einem Restaurant, das die Kombination von Italienischer und Indischer Küche anbietet. Vorweg gesagt hervorragende Küche. Wir bestellten unterschiedliche Vor- und Hauptspeisen aus der Indischen Küche und waren sehr begeistert vom Food. Das Restaurant ist sehr einfach gehalten, und könnte irgendwo in einer asiatischen Stadt sein. Es hat ein sehr sympathisches Wirte-Ehepaar das Ihre Wurzeln in die Küche einfliessen lässt. Das Publikum ist dementsprechend auch eher jung und unkompliziert. Das ist erfreulich und gibt ein bisschen Ferienstimmung. Die Bedingung war freundlich und speditiv. Wie in asiatischen Restaurants üblich wurden die bestellten Speisen sehr rasch serviert. Super lecker. Schön angerichtet und ganz authentisch. Da komme ich wieder."
