Vacation feeling over lunch
From melt-in-your-mouth gelato to juicy lasagna and crispy pizza: in these five favorite places, you'll find a lot of what you miss about our neighbor country. Because Italy is closer than you think.
Genovas
Anastasia Genova’s father always said he would open his own place on Idaplatz. And in 2014 he kept his word. Whenever the family made a trip back home to the Molise region, they always returned loaded down with Italian treats. Now they are on sale at Genovas, where Anastasia Genova works alongside her three siblings.

Punto Italiano
The Italian speciality shop Punto Italiano is not only the place to find the strongest espresso in the city for CHF 3, or a Birra Moretti for CHF 2.50; they also come with stories from Vincenzo’s life.

Konditorei Confiserie Caredda
