Came for a birthday dinner celebration. We loved our appetizers which were amazing with lots of flavour.

The service was above average. She was very friendly, attentive and has great wine knowledge.

The restaurant is nicely decorated, super clean, cozy and elegant.

My personal rating out of 5 stars:
Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Tagliatelle with black truffles: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Baked tuna sashimi: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Crispy pork shank salad: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Roasted cauliflower vanilla soup: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Veal cordon bleu with brie: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Beef tenderloin with savoy cabbage: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you are dining here for the first time I recommend trying the baked tuna sashimi and crispy pork as starter. The main was good, and interesting. My personal highlight  from the main: the cordon bleu and savoy cabbage strudel, the rest was good but nothing special.
Overall a great experience and will definitely dine her again!

Wunderbares Essen und sehr aufmerksamer Service! Gemütliches Ambiente, Preis für das Gebotene völlig ok.

Upscale place near Münsterhof. Limited but varied menu. The ravioli and tuna with sashimi puree were very tasty and well presented, sitting outdoors with a nice and relaxing view on the square. Really enjoyed and will definitely go back. Thanks for the great evening, was a pleasure to take customers here.

Extremely slow service, it took 1h for the single staff to take our orders, even though we were seated upstairs in the group room. Very basic dishes from 1980 with barely any vegetarian options. Weird lights that flicker uncomfortably. In short, the kind of place where bankers go when someone else is paying.

Very nice food and service. The Mezzeluna is very much recommended. It’s only a pity that they don’t have more vegetarian options
