"Classic Italian cooking is served in the charming restaurant of the modern hotel CERVO Mountain Resort, which is located a little above the village and right next to the slopes. The produce and flavour are the main focus here. At lunchtime, they offer a limited selection from the evening menu, as well as highlights from the establishment's other restaurants. The terrace is impressive!" - Michelin Inspector

How to Plan the Perfect Trip to Zermatt, Switzerland

First time in this restaurant and first time in Zermatt generally, I was looking for a nice spot to sit and enjoy the view and eat some good food, and I can definitely say that's an amazing place. The service was great, the food was great, the fondue was great, the pasta was great. Everything was just amazing. We enjoyed so much just sitting there watching the view. Yes, the prices are a bit pricey, but it's Switzerland, and you are literally sitting in the best spot of Zermatt. Definitely recommended if you want to enjoy the view and a good lunch or dinner. This place is just amazing.

Some of the best food we had during our trip in Switzerland. Absolutely loved the pasta and the great wine pairings with local wines. The tiramisu is definitely a must. If you’re looking for a great meal with stunning Matterhorn views, look no further 🍝

The fries are really good but way to expensive for such a little portion. The stuff helped us quick and we liked the look of the restaurant. The spritz‘s dont really taste like much besides wine. We cant complain about the waiting hours and how nice the food was even though it could be way cheaper

Arguably the best meal in Zermatt. Not only is the restaurant located in the incredible CERVO hotel with stellar views of Matterhorn, but the food is also absolutely incredible. Service is friendly and excellent. The pasta carbonara? Insanely good.

We tried so hard to like this place but it was hard. It was too fancy for us. It’s very expensive so we were expecting delicious food. However I got the ribeye and the truffle butter was extremely over salted. It ruined the steak for me. I also bought a 12 CHF side of truffle fries which were covered in Parmesan cheese. You could barely taste the fry itself. I’m giving it 4 stars because of the views and the atmosphere. They had live music playing which was a nice addition. This is definitely a fine dining experience so be prepared to pay for a full course meal. Nothing comes with anything. We came here because we saw online it was rated the number one Italian restaurant in Zermatt. I wouldn’t say that is true. I can recommend this place to anyone looking for a fine dining experience with money to spend and a rich taste. If you want more classic Italian dishes, look elsewhere. This place doesn’t offer any “normal” pasta dishes such as spaghetti Bolognese.

We called 4hs before the reservation to cancel because we were all sick, food poisoning, we spoke to someone called Juliana and she told us that if we didn’t show up, we will get charged $50CH per person, absolute madness and ridiculous, what kind of stupid policy this is, so the 4 of us had to get out bed and go to the restaurant so we didn’t get charged $200CH, insane! Once we arrived, we explained the situation and one of the managers asked for a Doctor Certificate, we were in shock, new policy in restaurants? Pure rubbish , what a disgrace of an attitude and policy, should be ashamed of themselves, disgusting.

Good food and good service. You can eat your burger and have a good view to Zermatt. After 3 hours of ski the food is even more delicious.

This Italian gem is a must-visit! The cozy ambiance sets the perfect tone for a beautiful dining experience. The food is simply incredible, with a carbonara so stunning it feels like a masterpiece. The champagne selection was equally impressive, perfectly complementing the meal. Add to that the attentive and excellent service, and you have a top-tier restaurant that leaves you wanting to come back for more. Truly a standout spot!
