LA Bufala Ristorante - Wittenbach

Very busy place during lunchtime. I went there alone and was sent to the dark corner, even the beautiful table, next to the window was empty throughout my entire stay: terrible food was ok, nothing special. Wine with glasses too.

I can't check the food here because we had a terrible experience getting a table. The place is busy, we thought it could be a popular restaurant, so we have booked online and when we arrived at the booking we were told by the waiter that “we only checked our bookings until 6:00, but you reserved at 6:10” the waiter then said wait 15 minutes and a table are given. Our party of 6 discovered a table for 4 and assumed that this would be our table just to be jumped by a pair to get the seat. As we have recognized that we had a booking, but do not offer an excuse for simply ignoring bookings and do not even explain what is going on logistically with seating and later bookings in the evening, is a clear sign of bad customer service.

Yesterday there for Valentine's Day and my girlfriend ended with food poisoning so terrible experience and never again. The atmosphere was decent, but, in my opinion, the food taste was below average and overpriced. First we ordered soup and it was moderate compared to our other experiences. Then we had pizzas, which seemed tasteless and required a lot of self-pronouncement with salt and pepper. One of us had pasta, which was obviously acceptable. A colleague had a chicken breast that he said was not fresh and tasteless.

I was there for lunch. Food was okay but service was not good. The price is a bit high compare to similar level of Italian restaurant in town. Anyway, if you do no have other choice, and you are hungry, you can try there.

La Taverna is an elegant Italian restaurant in the heart of the Swiss city of St. Gallen. There are several car parks nearby and many shopping and churches are nearby. I joined my family in a nice dinner consisting of Salmon Rissoto and Penne Regula. We ordered large portions for both, and I must say the portions were not big, but were acceptable. However, the food was delicious and came with a bread basket. I would like to thank our waiter, Kristijian, for excellent service and a wonderful, warm and welcoming person. Not only did he quickly do tasks, but also made jokes and was very easy to speak. In addition, he helped us with some recommendations from places and directions to park. Just an incredible person, and I want to applaud him for it. Although it was a bit expensive, overall, this was a great restaurant and I would highly recommend it.
