Acquerello’s 19-Minute Lunch: Your Weekday Italian Escape

Restaurant & Pizzeria Acquerello

Let’s be honest, we’ve all been there. Lunchtime hits, your stomach starts to sing the song of its people, but your to-do list is longer than a strand of spaghetti.

You crave something delicious, something satisfying, something that’s not another sad sandwich at your desk. That’s where Acquerello’s 19-minute lunch comes to the rescue.

Here at Ristorante & Pizzeria Acquerello, we understand that your time is precious, but that doesn’t mean you should sacrifice flavour.

That’s why we’ve created our special “19-minute lunch menus” – a speedy, budget-friendly, and utterly delicious way to inject a little Italian sunshine into your workday.

The magic number? 19 minutes. That’s all it takes, from the moment you place your order to the moment a plate of authentic Italian goodness lands before you.

And to make the most of those minutes, we start you off with a choice of a heartwarming soup of the day (perhaps the Mixed Vegetable Soup with Croutons or the Royal Veal Consommé) or a fresh salad.

What’s on the menu? Forget boring, this is real Italian, made with the same passion and top-notch ingredients as our evening menu. One day you might be digging into a comforting Bolognese Lasagna, the next you could be savoring Penne with Pesto, Potatoes, and Green Beans.

Our “From the Butcher” selection always satisfies, with options like Chicken Breast with Mushrooms and Fries or Golden Brown Pork with Fries. Craving something special?

Our house specialties, like Venison Bites with Polenta and all the Trimmings or Sliced Beef with Rice and Seasonal Vegetables, are sure to impress. And for the pizza purists, you can always select your favorite from our pizza menu.

The best part? This mini Italian getaway won’t cost you a fortune. Prices start at just CHF 17.00, making it the perfect weekday indulgence.

More than just a meal, it’s a moment. A moment to unwind, to enjoy, to recharge your batteries. So ditch the desk-bound lunch and join us at Acquerello for a 19-minute Italian escape. You’ve earned it!
