Zur Mägd in Basel

excellent stuffed squid, lots of space, very good wine

Italian menu with sufficient dishes but unfortunately adapted to German tastes. Good atmosphere but poorly lit. A little savoir-faire in the service wouldn't go amiss

Brilliant food and great service. We'd love to come back. ❤️❤️

Italian food put through a Swiss filter. Not bad but not particularly good either

Very good food. Super fast service....plate empty then glass empty and cleared away a few seconds later. I think it's a shame because you feel pressured to continue ordering or to vacate the place. Nevertheless, I will come back because of the very tasty food.

There's nothing Italian about it... it's just aping Italian cuisine. Too bad it's just exploiting the guest.

Cucina della mamma Fine lunch menus, great specialties. Sometimes a bit loud. In summer you can eat outside in the courtyard. Friendly service, friendly boss, everything was very pleasant. Always my pleasure.

Good Italian food, anything but just pizza. Great variety. Service is courteous and friendly. The restaurant is simple, but the courtyard/terrace is super cozy and beautiful.

The food was good but very small portions. The service was unmotivated, careless and not exactly friendly. The glasses were sometimes cleared with drinks when the person sitting next to them was on the toilet or smoking. No questions were asked as to whether anything else was wanted. At the end there was only espressos. When I asked about coffee cream or whether there was also coffee cream or cappuccino, the answer came: we no longer have any coffee cream or milk. Sugar was only served in one shaker for 50 people. Very questionable. The first and last time for me!

Were there with the company for the Christmas party. It was a nice evening and the food was good.

Nice restaurant, service was quick and courteous and the food was good. Got very busy at lunchtime even on a Wednesday, so reservations are recommended.

Very good food. What many people consider to be “loud”, I find rather “lively” and therefore pleasant.

If you like authentic Italian cuisine, this restaurant is the right place! 'Coda alla Romana' to fool you! And the semi-frozen for dessert - heavenly! However, this restaurant is not suitable for those sensitive to noise! The Italian lifestyle is lively, loud and cozy!

I had a good experience 4 years ago so when I found myself in Basel again, I went back. The food was as good as I remembered but the service was not. We got there just before the kitchen opens at 6pm so it wasn’t busy. We were seated but that’s about it. No order for drinks or menu. After about 10 minutes we were told the kitchen opens at 6pm. That’s fine we waited. We ordered as soon as we got our menu. The dishes came slowly even though they were not busy at the time. As they got busy things were forgotten. We had to ask for different things multiple times. Finally when I paid, I was charged my home currency (CAD). I asked to pay in CHF and my server refused. First saying that it’s not much of a difference. Then saying that I had to put my pin in first. That was strange but I believed him. Sure enough I wasn’t given the option to change. The receipt showed there was a 3.95% markup on the exchange! My credit card only charges 2.5%. I can’t believe what a gouge it was. I was thoroughly disappointed how my second experience turns out. I will not return again. There are so many good restaurants in Basel. Why waste it on those who don’t appreciate your business?

Beautiful, well and expertly prepared dishes "Classic cuisine from the old world a la Escoffie" Classic Italian dishes are also prepared to perfection. The service sometimes lacks attention to the guest, but overall they did a decent job. Unfortunately, the restaurant will be sold in August 2024 and will go to a new owner. Let's see what happens next?

Beautiful garden, food very good, but the waitress was probably in a bad mood today...

Actually a great restaurant with good food. If only it weren't for this service. And it starts with the Chef de Service... under every pig! Unfriendly, arrogant, snippy, smiles at the guests, gossips about the guests behind their backs (audible to others)... it's a real shame... I, a restaurateur myself, won't be entering this restaurant again and won't recommend it to anyone else. It's a shame for them good cuisine, but I don't have to give myself this "experience" again.

Great as always...especially in the evening in the beautiful garden!

The food would be good. If only it weren't for the service, inattentive, unfriendly and obviously not enjoying the work. Therefore unfortunately not recommended.

We had a business dinner here and were seated in the spacious garden area. Despite the heat and humidity it was an enjoyable evening. The wine, the Primitivo, was excellent as were the Vitel Tonne and the sea bass main course. Would recommend, especially for group events.

The food and service are truly outstanding. The price was okay too. I would love to come back.

The service was attentive at the beginning but unfortunately only at the beginning. In addition, people gossiped about our family behind our backs (1m away because no one understands Italian...). Peach ice cream was decorated with a plum and tasted more like plum than peach. Ordered Fernet and got something else. Water also had to be reordered several times.

Food used to be better, much better!

Beautiful restaurant in the heart of Basel with fantastic food, service and a great atmosphere - especially in their beautiful backyard. Definitely a recommendation.

The finest food in a great ambience Really cozy and relaxing

Particularly attentive servers with, always, a touch of humor...

A nice outdoor seating in summer. There are enough staff, but probably the heatwave makes people less focus on the job. Service and food could be improved. The printed menu at the restaurant is slightly different than what published on their website.

A delight, the testina a delight

Perfect place to eat real Italian dishes. Great place to be.

Mr. Giordano & his team are simply top class. Best food in Basel. Everything homemade.

You could list many disadvantages: that it is cold in winter and drafty, the staff is a bit chaotic, the digital reservation doesn't always work... However: This restaurant is wonderful. The soups are EXCELLENTLY good, the bread is homemade, the desserts (which are part of the menu) are creative and always delicious, the amazing salsiccia is homemade, and all other dishes with an Italian flair are exceptionally well cooked, and finally the wine list is a treasure trove for connoisseurs of Italian ( affordable) top plants. It's hard to imagine Basel's gastronomic landscape without it, and the small errors are no longer worth mentioning given the quality. I wish the boss Adriano Giordano a lot of enthusiasm and hope that this place will stay with us for a long time.

Very fine food, unfortunately there is a strong kitchen smell in the front room. Clothes smell strongly of it after a visit.. otherwise perfect, really very good cuisine and service, so definitely make a reservation👍👍

Complete chaos, waiters don't speak German. Serve penne without sauce and without cheese. I ran out of iced tea. Also way too expensive. Absolutely not worth the money ever again

Complete chaos! Food was distributed unprofessionally and constantly swapped. We ordered sweet cider three times and received a spritzer all three times.

Good food, great team and great ambience. What more do you want

Very good food, very nice ambience, very good service. Traditional Italian cuisine with classics. We recommend.

Arrogant service, the food rather average. Give your money to someone else. Never again.

Good middle-class restaurant, unfortunately very noisy with a good staff, the food corresponds to the character of the restaurant, the service is friendly.

Beautiful restaurant with a long tradition and a large hall on the 1st floor. The garden is also very pleasant, quiet and cozy. Fine food, good service. To recommend!

We were with a group in the courtyard for lunch and I had the menu with salad, soup, fish and dessert. The fish was over salted and under the convection oven for too long, I guess. There was no salt in the side dish at all. The dessert was good. The service made an effort. The inner courtyard is not really impressive.

Great food and friendly, helpful staff, prices are fair for the food you get for it. The Parmigiana is simply outstanding, among the best I've ever had. Only downside is that it is very, very loud when there are a lot of guests; conversation with someone else than just the person opposite is difficult.

We were there with a group. The employees are stressed and arrogant. The boss didn't even want to listen to something my colleague said, but immediately interrupted her and cheekily said: "We have a lot to do, Señora, go back to your place." Such relegations don't deserve guests, they deserve bankruptcy. P.S. The food is also average at best. Tastes bland and the portions are a joke. Never again.

Very unfriendly service and the boss. I wanted to ask something and was sent back to my “seat”. Food tasteless. The food is served carelessly and you have to help with clearing it away. The waiter rolled his eyes when we tried to pay separately.

However, I would love to go back

Very good restaurant. Beautiful building. Possibility of organizing company meals there. Courtyard. Close to tram but difficult to park

Everything fine. Ambiance with southern flair.

Good home-style food, service attentive

great lunch and relaxed atmosphere 👌🏽

The smoking room has been abolished, bad!

Good food and great team, thank you for implementing the wishes for our election meeting

Just had something to drink. Service nice. Good card with many variations.

Even on Shrove Tuesday - well served and good food

The food was very good and the conditions were friendly. Unfortunately it was cold in the restaurant so there were only 4 in the summer there were 5

Soooooo delicious! Zuchinni soup with oregano, forgot to take a picture until after it was finished off. Rosette di sfoglia with mortadella. Involtini di Maiale.🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

What Adriano serves up is sensational. And the Arneis was also superb ❤🥂❤

The food was very good, not run of the mill. The staff was really nice.

Excellent, authentic Italian dishes like Osso Buco, tripe, offal salsiccia, pulpo salad and lots of home made pastas plus a really good wine list with lots of regional bottles, served in a big, atmospheric traditional Basel dining room. Service is first class and the place has a lovely bustling feel to it. We paid 80 francs a head for two courses plus a beer and wine. Not bad for quality food in a Basel restaurant these days.

Very unfriendly staff. I think the card is a bit too small. Food was ok.

superb italian food in a historic basel restaurant building!

Very nice restaurant and friendly staff. However, the food is just okay and at the same time very expensive. Price-performance ratio is definitely not right.

The braised oxtail was delicious along with the friendly service, perfect evening

Birthday party was a success, fine food

I was here 2 days in a row for a business organized meal. What was immediately positive was the ambience with the open space and the fact that the kitchen and service were well coordinated. I got delicious Italian food that wasn't run of the mill. I can't say whether everything works and tastes as great in the a la carte shop. For me, who doesn't know much about Basel, it is definitely an address that I would visit again. Thanks

The service could be a bit more efficient, the plates weren't 100% clean, the food was ok.

A very cozy restaurant with a small but fine menu. There is solid Italian home cooking here, such as involtini, oxtail ragout or even tripe. If you're longing for pasta Bolognese or pizza salami, you're in the wrong place here. The gnochetti with tomato sauce could have been a little spicier for my taste. The Involtini with tomato sauce and risotto Milanese and the Semifreddo for dessert were excellent. I think we all had a great evening and I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Nice classic italien food in the heart of basel. And found a good value wine to go with it

The meal was okay. The price-performance ratio is absolutely right. Unfortunately, the service is so unfriendly and arrogant that we won't eat there again in the future. For example, our plates were cleared away while some of us were still eating; And when we asked about the wine, we were impatiently reprimanded, but we didn't receive any information. It's a shame, because the maid is actually a great bar.

Since I don't know and was there for the first time🤩good impression💐

Good morning, a very nice restaurant in the courtyard. Very tasty dishes and attentive service. Gladly again.

Very very very good!!! We had one of the lunch menu, Nice internal open terrace

Beautiful courtyard, fine food, friendly service, historic building, tram to the SBB train station in front of the house

Great lunch menu, nice ambience

Great location and good food at fair prices

Very tasty food & great service!

It's a shame that nothing of the protection concept can be seen.

Adorable soirée pour célébrer la réouverture des terrasses : le Zur Mägd offre une carte un peu restreinte, proposant cependant des mets délicieux, pas compliqués, fleurant bon une Italie de rêve, confectionnés avec des produits frais et pleins de bons goûts. Repas servi dans un jardin intérieur bien abrité des vents, mobilier simple, plantes aromatiques poussant dans les coins, accueil chaleureux. Abondante carte de vins italiens. Les prix sont toutefois un peu élevés.

wir waren im Zwischen-Lockdown wieder einmal in der Mägd und waren von A bis Z sehr zufrieden. Guter, freundlicher Service und die Klassiker der Mägd wie immer fein und frisch. Wir sing grosse Fans von Adrianos Küche -weiter so! Auf eine baldige Oeffnung der Lokale!

Great Italian. Great wines! And Adriano can cook really well. I'll be happy when it's allowed to open again. Currently closed due to Corona...

Schlechter Service und null Abstandseinhaltung

(Traducido por Google) Éramos cuatro para cenar en el restaurante italiano zur Mägd. Poco después de las 8 p.m., varios platos ya estaban agotados. Esto hizo que la selección ya no muy grande fuera bastante pequeña. Las raciones también son bastante manejables. Pero la calidad de la comida no se puede criticar. Especialmente los postres son muy buenos. (Original) Wir waren zum Nachtessen zu viert im Italienischen Restaurant zur Mägd. Kurz nach 20.00 Uhr waren bereits diverse Gerichte ausverkauft. Dadurch wurde die ohnehin schon nicht sehr grosse Auswahl ziemlich klein. Die Portionen sind auch eher überschaubar. Die Qualität des Essens kann aber nicht bemängelt werden. Vor allem die Desserts sind sehr gut.

Wir gingen nach Zur Magd hauptsächlich für Desserts und Espresso, nach dem Abendessen. Unsere Erfahrung war großartig. Wir probierten eine Reihe von Hausspezialitäten und Sorbets (hausgemacht). Der Ort hatte viel Geschichte und Charakter. Auch mit dem Maler Hans Holbein ist eine gewisse Geschichte verbunden. Es liegt ganz in der Nähe des Rheins, direkt am Anfang der Johanniterbrücke von Gross Basel.Es war voll, laut und festlich. Extrem hell beleuchtet und mit vielbeschäftigten Kellnern und effizientem Service. Sie haben ein Tagesmenü und einige sehr interessante Speisen auf der regulären Speisekarte.Wir liebten das * Semifreddo di Mandorle, Pistacci & Amaretti, das Kirsch-Pflaumen-Sorbet, Affogato und * Profiterole & Stracciatella.Wir planen, wieder dorthin zu fahren, um ein komplettes Essen zu erleben!
