Terrasse & Casa
Terrasse is a glass shoebox with wooden decking over the water, sun lounges overlooking a weir (illuminated at night) and comfy sofa seating – a perfect spot for Sunday brunch or a drink at any time of day. Casa, by contrast, cooks up Italian food in a cosy, country-style timber-framed house.

West End
Amuse yourselves with the wine list and remember that good things come to those who wait, as you survey the incongruous Swiss interior of this buzzing, congenial Italian restaurant. Many of the pasta and other dishes are freshly homemade and can take a while to arrive at your table, but when they do, they're usually delicious.

Cesary
New and trendy, this super-swank Italian restaurant and lounge attracts a well-dressed crowd. After work it's all about the suits and ties, but when dark descends so do the little black dresses and Gucci purses. Stop by for an aperitif and people watching from the comfort of a suave white leather stool.

Il Posito Solito
A meeting spot for the city's young trendsetters, this hectic, familiar Italian eatery reputedly serves Zürich's best pizzas. While not entirely convinced on that front, we'll always be tempted back by the pumpkin gnocchi and other homemade pasta.

Zum Schmale Wurf
Delicious smells and an air of intergenerational bonhomie waft over this Italian antipasto, pasta and carne heaven on the river. Lunchtime menus also occasionally branch out into global cuisine, with merguez sausages or jambalaya.

Spaghetti Factory
With a fun, buzzing atmosphere, this restaurant serves delicious bowls of its namesake dish (22 choices). The spaghetti with pesto sauce is delicious. The place often has long lines. Portions are just right.

Boccaccio
This popular Geneva restaurant is done up like an Italian village with murals on the walls. A business crowd packs the place at lunch. The menu focuses on pizza, pasta and salads. Sit outside during summer.

Josef
A Züri-West stalwart, Josef frequently changes it décor and Swiss-Italian menu, but always has a good wine list and remains constantly popular with the 'in' set, even if just for a drink.
