Homemade Pasta

Dessert

Zum Trauben in Kuesnacht is a nice italian restaurant. Since it’s located on the gold coast on the lake of Zurich, the cars parked in front of the place are a tad better looking than at your run of the mill eatery. I expected a stuck up place when I entered through the door and was pleasantly surprised. An elder gentleman welcomed me in a very warm yet unobstrusive manner, which made me feel very welcomed and at ease in the dining room. Homemade ravioli were my starter, delicate dough with a slightly salty meat (veal?) filling made me happy. My main course was a roast accompanied with risotto. I did have some slight complaints about the risotto, it was lacking a bit of bite. The roast and risotto showed the classical strength of italian cuisine, simple dishes, with just a few ingredients, done right always turn out great. I forgot the name of the dessert, because I didn’t want one at first. After seeing something I’ve never had I ordered the dish in the photo and it was great. The dough encrusted a fruit and it gave me that slight crunch, sweetness and tanginess which a good dessert needs. If I were ever to move to Kuesnacht, this place would have high chances of becoming my favorite italian place. Very nice food, unpretentious service and decent prices:
