Ristorante "Bindella" Zurich: a Venetian classic in the heart of the city

The "Bindella" restaurant has been a fixture in Zurich's gastronomic landscape for around 40 years. What began in 1985 as a conversion of the former café behind Paradeplatz has developed into a Venetian classic that celebrates Italian cuisine at the highest level.  

Venetian ambience with Zurich art tradition

The Zurich restaurant "Bindella" on Paradeplatz, In Gassen 6, impresses with its authentic Italian ambience, which brings the feeling of Venice to Zurich. For example, works by Zurich painter Hanny Fries hang on the walls. The combination of Italian hospitality and Swiss art tradition makes the restaurant a special place to meet - both culinarily and culturally.

The interior design combines classic elegance with warm cosiness. Wood-panelled walls, subdued lighting and many details create the atmosphere that characterizes Italian hospitality. The restaurant in the vibrant heart of the city on the Limmat has been a hit for decades.

Culinary tradition with the highest standards

Chef Demis Retta, who spent his childhood in Salerno on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea, perfects the art of Italian cuisine. He has been part of the Bindella family since 2018 and stands for honest Italian cuisine with respect for tradition - but always with a touch of creativity.

The menu at the "Bindella" restaurant in Zurich reads like an homage to Venice: fine spaghetti all'astice, linguine alla veneziana and fegato alla veneziana are among the classics prepared with the highest level of craftsmanship. Seasonal daily recommendations complement the menu, depending on the time of year and the chef's inspiration.

The quality of the ingredients is particularly noteworthy: Only products of the highest quality are used in the kitchen. The filletto di manzo, tender and perfectly cooked, exemplifies the standards the team sets for every dish. 

Ristoranti di Bindella: many houses, one family

The Bindella family currently owns more than 40 Ristoranti throughout Switzerland - each with its own character, but all united by the common philosophy "la vita è bella". This impressive diversity is reflected in different concepts, ranging from the classic pizzeria to haute cuisine.

The Bindella-Ristorante "Ornellaia" on St. Annagasse in Zurich, for example, stands for culinary excellence in its highest form and is one of the GaultMillau restaurants in Zurich. The restaurant, run jointly by Rudi Bindella senior and his son Rudi, opened in 2018 and was awarded a Michelin star and a GaultMillau award shortly afterwards.

With your American Express Platinum Card, you can experience the world of flavors at Ristorante "Bindella" for yourself and enjoy additional benefits: Once a quarter, Platinum Card members receive a credit worth CHF 40 when they spend over CHF 250 at an American Express-accepting GaultMillau restaurant. 

Outstanding wine culture

The wine list in the "Bindella" restaurant is in a class of its own. It includes exquisite wines from leading Italian wineries, with a special focus on the Veneto region. Thanks to the close connection with Tenuta Vallocaia, the Bindella family's own vineyard in Montepulciano, exceptional quality is guaranteed at a fair price.

Managing director Antonio Forte shares his passion for fine wine with you and gives you expert advice on choosing the ideal accompaniment to every dish.

 A well-coordinated team with an Italian heart

The team works together with the dedication that is typical of the Italian work philosophy: first the work, then the pleasure. This professionalism is evident in every detail - from the preparation of the dishes to the friendly table service.
