“I was there for an aperitivo and I got pleasantly surprised by this place. I would say is probably one of the best authentic Italian aperitivo you can get in Zürich. The prices are totally fair considering the city standards and the ambience is warm and the personnel very kind. Highly recommend!”
From the bar at Badenerstrasseaperitivo catering from Zurich.
Il Salotto is not a catering company that makes Italian food. We are an Italian aperitivo bar in Zurich that brings its restaurant experience to you.
Born from the Apéro Bar in Kreis 4
At Badenerstrasse 79, a few steps from Stauffacher, we've been running our «Il Salotto» - the «living room» aperitivo, the way Italians celebrate it - for years. Between 5pm and 8pm, guests order a Spritz or Negroni and get a selection of antipasti with it. That's how it works in Italy. That's how we do it in Zurich.
Our catering is a direct extension of this bar: the same kitchen, the same Italian suppliers, the same idea of hospitality. We prepare your aperitivo fresh on the event day and deliver it to you - or you pick it up.
For us, an aperitivo is more than a snack before dinner - it's an hour where guests arrive, raise a glass, and settle into the evening. We shape that hour at Badenerstrasse every night - and that's exactly what we bring to you and your guests.

“Comfort food in Zurich - Italian edition! Il Salotto is my favorite low-effort but always a pleasure type of place. For breakfast, dinner or drinks, it never disappoints, especially the aperitivo. Can recommend for first dates 😉 instant green flag”
“Great Italian apero bar in Zurich! Super authentic vibe, friendly service, and the best Campari Spritz I've had here. They even brought out a plate of snacks — something you rarely get in Zurich. Will definitely be back!”
“Casual and friendly Italian bar, great for aperitivo. Every drink comes with a plate of snacks. Don't miss the Aperol Spritz granita – refreshing, original, and well made.”
“Very charming venue. Perfect Italian breakfast (cappuccino and cornetto impeccable). Hosts kind and friendly. If you look a place also for a great “aperitivo” in the evening … this is the place. Warmly suggested!”
“Great aperitif spot, a pleasant surprise in Zurich! Very cozy place with a relaxed and well designed atmosphere. The aperitif was really good, with a nice selection of well-made drinks and high-quality snacks. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the prices are fair especially for Zurich. Perfect for after-work drinks or meeting up with friends. I'll definitely be back.”
