Osteria da Francesco in Thalwil

Fantastic food, great service, we would love to come back.

Like somewhere in Italy:) Italian owners, loud vibe, pets friendly and food - belissimo!

Good lunch menu with fair prices.

Amazing food, great service and very authentic Italian setting - highly recommended

Just wow. Typical Osteria. Very nice specialist staff. You can tell that there are still real Italians at work here. Very tasty pinsa. Good location. Loving service. grace

We have been here more than once with my partner. Typical Italian environment and atmosphere. Gino of excellent quality. Very polite service We thank Carmela and Francesco for their hospitality!!

EAT, DRINK AND AMBIENCE LIKE IN ITALY! ***** Cooking at the highest level. Crispy bruschette, fresh minestrone, tender swordfish with perfectly seasoned, deep green spinach, wonderfully aromatic lemon cake with meringue and an espresso that you normally only get in Napoli. Thank you to the Easter team for the hospital!

Super friendly, nice Italian atmosphere, great food! Each of us ordered something different, the resti was full and yet the food came quickly! We're there every now and then, it's always great! So highly recommended!

Super typical good Italian Food, great service and kind reception of Carmela and Francesco and their team

Friendly, family service. Great food . Super indescribable.

Excellent service, knowledgeable and helpful people, excellent Italian cuisine.

We have already been to the restaurant and also like to order via delivery here. It's really very fine. Today we had penne pomodoro and a fresh mixed salad delivered. Grazie mille. 😀😀😀

Excellent place, typical Italian cuisine. Fresh and quality food. Excellent service. I recommend everyone to stop by the Osteria. I had a really good time 😊.

Very good and authentic Italian cuisine

Very warm service and authentic Italian fine food.

Super fine, authentic Italian food and very friendly service. We'd love to come back! :) Thank you very much

A truly unique experience of Italian authenticity in Thawil on the coast of Lake Zurich! 😍

The food is very delicious, the service attitude is very good, and the waiters are also very handsome. We come to this restaurant often

Not much choice, you can go but you don't have to, personally I wouldn't do it again

We attended a birthday dinner this afternoon The food was absolutely amazing, everything was fresh and to the point (all 10 got their food at the same time.) Congratulations on your kitchen too. The staff was very, very nice and incredibly attentive in a cozy atmosphere. We'll definitely come back...Thank you

Truly great place! We enjoyed our pasta, the service was kind - there is nothing to complain about. Probably the best bolognese spaghetti in Switzerland. The place itself has a nice vibe and we will definitely come back!

Really delicious food and great staff! We were all very excited about the fine food! Addition: We now eat here regularly. Really great every time!

A touch of Italian style 🇮🇹 Congratulations, everything was really delicious, very attentive and helpful service, we felt like at home.. thanks for everything Francesco and Fabio 👌🏻 see you soon

For those looking for the real Italian restaurant, they must go to Francesco. After fake Italian places I found this place. What can I say, excellent food, fantastic staff and a beautiful place and they also have a garden. I felt like I was in Italy.

Very nice and cosy family restaurant, would recommend the pizza !

Incredibly delicious, again at any time!

Today we ate some fabulous mussels with tomato sauce. Literally mouth-watering and mouth-watering. We always have a good time at Francesco's and gladly recommend it to friends and acquaintances.

Great food and wine. Really nice staff too..

Really good food. We were a table of 10 and we ordered pinsas and seafood and they were all delicious. The staff was very friendly and quick. I recommend it and will definitely come back to enjoy more of their delicious food. We didn't even get the chance to take pictures as we were too excited about the food.

Not too many classic European experiences any more, but for sure OdF scratches the itch for nostalgia. Classic home made Italian dishes, friendly staff who barely speak anything but Italian but go way way out of their way to make you feel welcome, and at home. They done Mama proud. Go if you can. Beef and specialty pastas were amazing.

Very family restaurant. Really Italian with real Italians. Enjoy your meal. Very friendly staff. It's a shame they don't have a larger terrace.

Great service, very attentive & friendly. Great Spaghetti Al Olio & Saltimbocca 👌🏼

Super fresh fish and seafood, fine pizzas 🍕 delicious 😋 pasta dishes, great friendly service and Moretti by the glass 👍

The service employee was very friendly. The terrace was very nice and comfortably furnished. We enjoyed the food. Recommended.

Great restaurant, friendly staff and good food 😊

I felt like I teleported to Italy... The food is so so yummy.

Lovely service and absolutely delicious food! Italy in Switzerland? Possible!

A great pizzeria. They have a nice pizza that has a special dough that is easy to digest

Incredible food and everyone is super friendly! Will definitely be back.

Very friendly, fast, good Italian wine, dinner was delicious, parmigiana melanzane and the pinsa jasmin was great!

We ate very well! Very friendly hosts. We would like to come again!

With the warm welcome, you immediately feel welcome. I haven't had such good Italian food in a long time. And all of this at a decent sized table, which is no longer the case in many places. The food is also very nicely prepared. We'd love to come back. Thanks.

Very good osteria. Much more authentic food than in Portofino.

Real and authentic, friendly service, excellent cuisine.

Great, food, atmosphere and staff

Very good food Bravo. Traditionally, that's how it should be - there is room for improvement. You could do more or less with the ambience. The place is cramped and hectic when it's full. The tables at the buffet are very impractical. Service ok. The Italian language is very nice, I also speak it a little..... but with us you should also be able to speak good German or dialect. Otherwise highly recommended.

Really very good for an Italian in Switzerland. Most of it is homemade. Would go again.

Very good restaurant, the service is friendly and courteous and the food is fresh and very tasty. Ambience: You feel like you are in Italy for the moment 😍, the restaurant also had a lot of Italian guests at the moment we were there.

Anyone who would like to dine Italian in Thalwil will be happy at the Osteria da Francesco: very fine and very authentic cooking, very friendly service.

Very fine Pinsa and a totally friendly and authentic atmosphere. I'll be happy to come back.

We are totally excited about this new discovery. Italian hospitality is huge here. The son in the dining room, the father in the kitchen. Everything is going like clockwork. Food is super delicious!!

A rather classy Italian restaurant with good dishes and a good wine selection. I had spaghetti with beef. Personally, I was positively surprised by the dish, but rather negatively surprised by the beef in the sauce. The beef was cut into small cubes and was very dry. I would have liked a few strips of beef for that price. The starter (bruschette) was very good. The atmosphere is very nice and the place is well-kept, but perhaps a bit too noisy due to the density. All in all a place for connoisseurs.

Real Osteria atmosphere with an excellent selection and finely prepared menus.

Good address. The food is good as well as the welcome. I recommend.

We enjoyed a wonderful evening! Food and service top! It's been a long time since we've experienced a restaurant where everything was just right. We'll be back - 5 stars more than deserved!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good food, I loved the pinsa, it was very good and well prepared. I'll be back soon

I brought a guest for dinner here. They said without reservations, they will seat us if we can leave in 1 h 20 min. We got a bottle of wine. My order arrived in decent time. My friend’s Pinsa arrived way too late, at least 30 minutes after we placed the order. On asking for a status multiple times, they finally said the order was burnt and they are making another. At that time, honestly, good service would be bring something in the meantime for your starving guest… on the house. That didn’t happen. They were busy with the larger tables. The dishes were excellent. Compliments to the chef, but not to the otherwise friendly service.

Extremely good food. Price performance top

The best pinsa I've ever eaten! (It tasted great) Francesco and his team are very personable and professional.

Very good food PURE ITALOSTYLE, very competent staff

Delicious food with the best service. The restaurant is very authentic Italian.

Great food and very friendly staff. Good variety of daily specials, and our Aperol and Campari spritzes were great. Relaxed atmosphere too. We had a great time!

I believe it is one of the best Italian restaurants in Thalwil. My experience was fantastic and I highly recommend it!!

Excellent experience. After the first time I stumbled upon it by chance I came back. The menu seemed well done, as did the choice of wines. The dishes were well presented and well cooked. A good Italian restaurant in all respects. The manager is welcoming and knowledgeable as is the staff. An experience to be repeated for sure.

Super friendly and attentive service, relaxed atmosphere and very fine food! Definitely worth a visit!

Spontaneous visit on a beautiful summer evening (but booking in advance is recommended) and was surprised by the very, very good food, as well as the quick and friendly service! It tasted great, including the tiramisu that followed and concluded :-). A discovery and enrichment for Thalwil, thank you very much!

At Francesco you feel as if you are invited to an Italian family. Wonderful ambience, excellent service and delicious Italian specialties. We will be back!

Really very good Italian cuisine. Very friendly service and worth the price.

The best carbonara we ever had. The seafood was very fresh and tasty. Very agreable italian waiters. Highly recommended and will definitely come back :)

It was very nice, my pizza had real truffles on it 🍕💗👍🏻

Very good offer and very friendly and family friendly

Fantastic food in a cozy atmosphere. Francesco and family are excellent, passionate hosts. Service top! Best Italian in Thalwil!

Absolutely recommended, the food is first class and the service is top notch

Absolutely delicious pinsa! I’m from Rome where pinsa is originally from and I wasn’t expecting much when my Swiss friend invited me to Thalwil in this place. From the second we stepped in they were super smiley and friendly, we chose to sit outside as the weather was nice and they were very fast with the service. We ordered two pinsas (Bufalina and Italia) and honestly I was impressed, I felt like I was home. Fresh ingredients, the dough was perfect and all together it was just delicious. And completely reasonable prices. Oh for sure I will be back! Grazie mille per l’ospitalità e la gentilezza! Mi avete fatto sentire a casa

Excellent food & very nice ambience. The truffle pasta is amazing. We'd love to come back :).

Good lunch menu, 4 daily menus, fair prices, small dessert included.

Number one for kindness, availability and above all quality. They made me feel at home and thanks for the excellent tongs off the menu. See you soon

Excellent small and welcoming place, the food is very good

You feel really comfortable here! Very tasty food, great service and always friendly and organized. Always my pleasure!

In the area for work, finally an ITALIAN restaurant. Properly cooked food, good raw materials, properly leavened pizza dough, all brought together by the courtesy of the owners. Keep it up!

Wonderful food, good wine list and friendly service. Actually I should only give one star, otherwise I won't get a place in the future ;)

Very tasty homemade pinsa and pasta, nice restaurant and great friendly service at reasonable prices - we'll be happy to come back

My new favorite Italian restaurant on the left bank of Lake Zurich. Nice service, very good food, fair prices. It was just a little too loud for me. But no wonder, the Osteria was fully booked. We'll be back (soon!)! 😍

Good tasty pasta and friendly service. I will come back.

Very nice staff. Very friendly. Eat good. Price too. There were 10 of us and everything went great. Just reserve early enough, it's not very big, but you feel comfortable, very familiar. Can only recommend it. We will come back.

A great culinary experience. Very friendly host. The dishes are very fine and the restaurant is beautifully decorated.

Excellent cuisine, everything seems fresh and prepared by hand and with love. Very nice service and nice, intimate atmosphere without exaggerations. Prices are completely reasonable for the quality. As a total package, one of the best Italians, even or especially if you compare it with the nearby city of Zurich. Grace! Torneremo!

Good luck with this new adventure, I'm sure you'll do great things, best wishes to all the staff
