Classic Tuscan spot in Zürich’s Old Town delivering polished pastas, veal, and Antinori wines with lively ambiance; excellent when on form, but some guests report uneven service and cramped seating.
Cantinetta Antinori delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional food quality anchored by standout pastas, veal, and tiramisu, paired with charming Old Town ambiance and knowledgeable wine service. However, inconsistent execution—occasional bland pasta and overcooked fish—and space constraints during peak hours prevent the higher distinction needed for grade A territory. The restaurant excels as a reliable neighborhood destination with strong Antinori credentials and loyal following.
One caveat: Cramped seating and coat space in winter can feel uncomfortable
