Ristorante Solemio - Fribourg

On busy evenings it gets very loud in this restaurant. I went there twice with a group (I was invited). The first time, they told us, that we should either all eat pizza or all chose something from the kitchen otherwise the order would...get too complicated. They did not tell this when my friend got the reservation. The food is ok but nothing more. The second time (other group) they got very angry because my colleague made a reservation for 13 people but only 12 came. In my opinion this was not very professional. Even more as they had already prepared a table with very little space, so even 12 was too cramped.

Am in Switzerland (Fribourg and Zurich) for a week so decided to have Italian, saw the reviews on trip advisor and walked from my hotel, a pleasant walk when it is semi cloudy and around 15 C. The place have very nice atmosphere and is...pleasantly decorated and lit. Servers are polite and efficient. They brought it a very good bread with a chili oil dip (its IS HOT) very nice. After I ordered a rocca salad and a quatro formagi pizza they brought some kind of fried batter poppers that I didn 't care much for. The salad was made from 2 ingredients: fresh baby rocca and generous shavings of parmigiano cheese, beware they serve it without dressing but they automatically bring balsamic, oil and pepper, so prepare your own and enjoy a fresh delicious salad. Then came the Pizza, they sort of wait till you finish the salad which is great because you get a freshly baked pizza. When it came it was mouth watering steaming and smelling like a fondue, it even tasted like one as they use Gruyere Emental in addition to the Gorgonzola and mozzarella, in other words a perfect fusion between Swiss and Italian flavors.. The small pizza is quiet large and is perfect for sharing by 2 or more if you opt for mix and share which I highly recommend in this restaurant. There was no room for dessert or coffee though they do have ice cream gelato style that looks very inviting (display freezer on the way in). Would love to try their pasta I I have another return to Fribourg.

Nice restaurant, reasonable price, very friendly staff, and very good ice cream

Delicious food, impeccable service. A moment of pure taste pleasure, finished with delicious ice cream.

Excellent pizzas, the pasta is freshly good. Very warm and smiling staff.
