We enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and the friendly service. The food was great and having the tiramisu prepared at the table was really entertaining. I haven't seen anything like it before

Went to Bocuci for a date night and we had an absolutely lovely evening! We took the 5-course tasting menu with the wine pairing and everything was perfect ✨I asked specifically for the tiramisu and the experience was indeed amazing. I’m also still dreaming about the onsen egg in cheese foam 😋 10/10 experience for sure.

Overall, it was a decent experience with good, but not great, food. My artichoke starter had a lovely mix of flavours however my main, truffle spaghetti with sausage, was disappointingly bland. It lacked the umami I expected, especially with such easy ingredients such as sausage and truffle. My dessert, the fedora, was not at all to my liking. It was extremely dry and I could not finish (the server was not interested as to why I left nearly the whole thing…) Service was overall fast and professional. I did have high expectations and I can’t say that I would return.

Excellent food and atmosphere. It’s a bit costly but you are expected in Zurich. Staffs are nice and the dishes are soo authentic. Tiramisu for two is made in front you, which give us lots of delight. Nice dinner for two.

I like the interior decor,  very warm and cozy for the holiday season.  The food is from outstanding to ordinary depending on the dish you choose.  The artichoke appetizer is a disappointment, onsen egg is outstanding, truffle spaghetti and beef filet are excellent and sea bass is  just ordinary.  The menu is not big but they change it every 6 weeks.   Maybe you will find something extraordinary.
