What Kyra Sica doesn't like about Al Gabbiano:
We waited 20 minutes to be served, even though we asked if there was any room left. Afterwards we were served so “politely” (at the dirty, uncleared table) that we immediately left the restaurant without eating anything. View all feedback. What Sandro Cattaneo likes about Al Gabbiano:
I'm quite surprised by some of the reviews on here. We picked this place because we walked passed it as we got off the boat. We thought the quality of food was excellent. The service was also very prompt and the staff very friendly. We did debate the irony that the best Italian meal we had eaten so far in our Italian holiday happened to be in Switzerland.The price is more expensive than Italy and this is exacerbated...

The restaurant is beautifully located right on the lake. The Quattro Formaggio pizza was fresh but not quite hot. Unfortunately, the pizza dough is rubbery. Ver...

Die traumhafte Lage am See macht leider keine gute Küche! Die Pizzas (Fr. 21.00 und 24.00) mit offensichtlich billigen Zutaten waren extrem schlecht und gummig.
