Trattoria Alfredo - Adelboden

Generous portions, fair prices, friendly staff.

I've been already twice so far in different seasons. Always very polite, excellent pizza quality (since I love pizza). The stuff is always motivated to help and satisfy your needs. Prices are also fine. Generally speaking, a MUST visit this place for eating drinking.

We had high hopes for this place, since we eat at Italian restaurants in every city we visit, and they have all been exceptionally good at certain dishes. This place indeed had an exceptional bruschetta, but that’s where the positives end. As we eagerly (and hungrily) waited for the main dishes, the place started to get crowded and so warm that I started to sweat. We asked for ice for our drink, but they didn’t even have ice… not a great sign. Finally, the main dishes arrived. We ordered a margarita pizza and the mushroom risotto. Apparently, the chef tipped over a can of salt that feel on our food, since it was so salty we didn’t finish either dishes. The risotto was salty, but edible enough that we ate half of it out of hunger, but the pizza salt (which we had just one slice each) was so salty the taste lingered till we cleansed our pallets with ice cream. The weird part was the manager came over midway to ask about our meal, and we told him how salty it was. He said he will check and get back to us. He didn’t come back, and instead just sent the waitress to tell us nothing was wrong with the food. As we left the restaurant with our plates barely touched, we passed the manager as he just shrugged as if to say, “sorry you didn’t like the food, nothing I can do”. Surely there is more he could’ve done, but I’m not one to have a confrontation over such matters. TL;DR yummy bruschetta, salty main dishes, average service and atmosphere.

We decided to try this place while in Adelboden for a few days. We ordered the black mussels as a appetizer. When they arrived I noticed right away that many of them were closed. Many were just barely open. I took one that was barely open and the mussel was very difficult to remove and so I took another that was open a little but I was not going to fight to get these open and so I waved who I believe was the owner, who also delivered these to our table. We informed him of the issue and he looked at them and apologized and took them away. We then chose the Caprese. This was just ok. The tomatoes weren't ripe enough to have any flavor. We each had a pasta dish that we enjoyed. We didn't have to pay for the mussels and were offered a grappa for the inconvenience. Tiramisu was shared for a dessert and it was average.

After a long day hiking in the Alps it is a lovely restaurant to relax on the terrace have some good quality Italian food! I had the saffron, prawn zucchini linguine which i must admit was probably one of the best pastas ever!!!! My boyfriend had tge prosciutto pizza he said it was pretty good. Being Switzerland the Alps it is overly priced, i think we paid $70aud for a pizza a bowl of pasta.... We didn't have anything to drink (just tap water). I couldn't imagine how much it would have costed if we did drink have a starter a side.... Would recommend but if you are on a budget it is not the place for you!
