Individual ratings for Rico's

Location

Located directly on Seestrasse, in Küsnacht, just 7 km from Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse, or 10 minutes away by car.

Ambience

Cheekily dusted off - finally the younger crowd feels at home in the legendary "Kunststuben"! The colourful, cheerful ambience of the location bears the signature of interior designer Carlo Rampazzi.

Infrastructure

Colourful, elegant restaurant room, picturesque courtyard garden with mirrors, chandeliers and perfectly shaped boxwood balls, car park in front of the house.

Culinary

Cheerful flavoured cuisine prepared with finesse and lightness, awarded with a Michelin star. Be sure to leave room for the sophisticated desserts. Rico is not only a very good chef, bursting with infectious joie de vivre, but also an excellent patissier. Soufflé lovers get their money's worth with him. The fluffy "Harlequin soufflé" is available to pre-order - a tribute to Horst Petermann.

Wine List

Well-assorted wine list focussing on Switzerland and France presented on the iPad.

Service

Casual, but not careless! The young service crew is extremely competent and charming.

Rico's Restaurant, Küsnacht

For 32 years, Rico Zandonella worked alongside Horst Petermann in the legendary "Kunststuben". Since 2011 he has been his own chef and cooks with more self-confidence, modernity and a remarkably light touch. Born in the Tessin, Zandonella loves the play of colours and aroma, especially his vinaigrettes and sauces cause elaborate taste explosions and definitely masterpieces. Quite perfect. An exquisite place for those who love a light cuisine, as well as unusual interior design, which bears the signature of Carlo Rampazzi and Rico Zandonella. Closed on: Sundays and Mondays

Price range €€€
The seating in the secluded inner courtyard is truly magnificent, with diners sitting out of the weather beneath the pergola with its large chandeliers. The restaurant is so tastefully decorated that instead of talking to Rico Zandonella about his culinary art we end up discussing interior design with him.
The colourful, pompous interior is not for design purists.
