"Eine sehr positive Überraschung, was die kulinarische Qualität, den Service und das Ambiente betrifft. Wir hatten den Fenchel/Orangensalat (Insalata di finocchi) und ein Saltimbocca alla romana, was sensationell mit dem Fond abgeschmeckt war. Ein echter Genuss in entspannter Umgebung."

"Wir haben fürs Abendessen reserviert und wurden sehr freundlich Empfangen. Da sich das Wetter an diesem Abend von seiner besten Seite zeigte, wurde uns angeboten das Apéro auf der Rooftop-Bar zu geniessen. Nach paar Runden Bier (von regionalen Brauereien) und dem schönen Sonnenuntergang konnten wir im Restaurant am Tisch platz nehemen. Wir als Fleisch- und Weinliebhaber wurden dort nochmal richtig verwöhnt. Die Garstufen waren perfekt getroffen und auch die Beilagen (Pasta und Rissoto) sind sehr zu empfehlen. Die Bedienung war sehr professionell und Ging auf unsere Wünsche ein. Auch das Dessert & der Kaffee war ein krönender Abschluss. Besten Dank nochmals für den schönen Abend, wir werden bestimmt wieder kommen."

"이 건물의 숙소에 5일가량 묵으면서 좋았던 점 중 하나가 카푸치노가 맛있는 카페가 1층에 있다는 점이었어요. 분위기도 좋고 친절해요. 한국인 중에서도 무조건 얼어 죽어도 아이스 아메리카노만 마시는 제가 카푸치노가 맛있어서 아이스 아메리카노를 위해 스타벅스를 찾는게 아닌 일반카페에서 카푸치노를 찾게 만들었어요 ㅎㅎ 3분에 한번씩 다니는 10번 버스타면 베른역에서는 10분, 장미공원에서는 3분이면 올 수 있는 접근성도 좋은 곳이에요! 식사도 가능한 곳이니 베른오시면 꼭 들려보세요!ㅎㅎ"
