We decided the mushroom sauce fantasticThe polenta was also different as it was a mixture of black and yellow which gave it a speckled effectWe finish off with two tiramisu strong in coffee flavourWith wine, water and 1 salad it cost 148 chf Worth the money

We got very friendly service, maybe because they werde not stressed at all...

We were only 5 to 6 customers but it took about 40 minutes to receive the Pizza (it takes only 5 Minutes to bake one). When the waiter brought the pizza he realised she he realised it was not the one I had ordered. So I had to wait 15 more minutes. Very bad service.

After the order we waited 80 (eighty) minutes before we leave the hope to be served our pizza. during waiting and waiting, we observed pizzas served the mozens that arrive later and many wrong orders are served. but no pizzas for us. Excuse the poor waitress. but note on management. what a total shame! very bad future for piazzetta; at least dozens and dozens of patrons will never be harassed.
