"This is my fav Italian joint in Zurich. La Famiglia Tremonte is a small, family run cafe-restaurant that serves excellent and authentic Italian food at prices that are low compared to the norm in Zurich.Famiglia Tremonte is rather inconspicuously located at the corner of Zurlindenstrasse and Birmensdorferstrasse, a couple of doors away from The Desperado Mexican Restaurant. You might need to look for it a little: I lived practically next door and did not notice it for almost a year, and even then a friend had to point it out to me.The restaurant is mostly a takeout with very little seating, i.e. 7 people inside, and when the weather is goo, about 5 people outside. The ambience is basic but, like most things in Switzerland, the interiors are very clean. Staff and service are very goo. The food here is awesome! Authentic Italian fare that is probably heavily influenced by Sicilian tradition since that is where the family is from. I used to visit almost every day because the food tastes great and the prices are so low for Zurich. I have tried almost everything: several pasta dishes, polpettine, stuffed bell peppers, meatloaf, piadina, and of course, the fabulously tasty and hot chilli infused EVOO. I enjoyed every dish I ordered. Great stuff! I strongly recommend the super-hot chilli infused EVOO as a seasoning for almost all dishes, but especially the pasta dishes that come in a cream sauce. Please be careful with chilli EVOO: 0.5 tbsp. for noobs, and a max. of 2 tbsp. for those who like it hot. The chilli EVOO, when used appropriately, adds great flavour to your dish. The piadina is the best I have eaten - period. I have been all over the world, spent a lot of time in Italy and New York (: great place for Italian food lovers :), and I still think this is the best piadina ever. They also serve some nice Italian desserts -- I've tried a few but have forgotten the names. They also have a small selection of Italian ingredients for sale. I bought the pesto and was happy with it. You also get a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic Italian drinks to go with the food.Prices are relatively low by Zurich standards: I rarely ever ate for more than CHF 15, and if I skipped the drinks it was usually around CHF 10. Of course, this varies a bit according to what you order.Highly recommended. Glad I found this place. Great for office workers in the vicinity."

"The chicken burger and fries were so good that I had tenders again right after! It’s not complicated: I thought I would never manage to leave Der Pouletburger und Pommes waren so gut, dass ich gleich danach wieder Tenders empfahl! Einfach sagt: Ich glaubte, ich würde es nie schaffen zu gehen!"

"Take away restaurant Imbiss. (Ok, ohne Covid kann man auch da essen, aber es hat nicht sonderlich viel Platz und es ist nicht bedient. Kleine Karte, alles sehr frisch, keine halbfertig Produkte, gute Qualität und ich glaub man schmeckt auch dass da jemand mit viel Leidenschaft kocht. Der Preis ist eher hoch für ein Take Away Resti, aber ich gehe trotzdem sehr gerne hin, wegen dem Essen und der herzlichen Bedingung und ich unterstütze einen kleinen, persönlichen Betrieb. Übrigens gibts auch alles vegan vegetarisch."

"Obwohl es im Restaurant an Ambiente mangelt und es zu laut ist, um sich mit Freunden zu treffen, ist es bei weitem unser Lieblingsasiatisches Restaurant in Zürich. Die ganze Familie liebt es: Das Essen schmeckt authentisch, voller asiatischer Aromen, schöne Portionen. Sie machen jeden Tag die Knochenbrühe von Grund auf neu und ihr „Pho Bo mit Wagyu-Rind“ ist ein wahr gewordener Traum. Absolut lecker sind auch die Frühlings- und Sommerbrötchen sowie die Glasnudelgerichte mit Rindfleisch. Alles schmeckt asiatisch, so wie wir es aus Asien gewohnt sind.Es ist am besten, um die Mittag- Abendessenzeit einen Tisch zu reservieren, da das Restaurant eher klein und sehr voll ist."
