The story
Itaki in Feusisberg serves a refined Italian-Asian cuisine where seasonal inspiration dictates every plate. Chef Claudio Radocchia guides the daily menu away from rigid formulas, relying instead on fresh produce and cross-cultural curiosity. The team adjusts the offerings regularly to reflect what arrives at peak quality from trusted suppliers. This restrained approach recently earned a Gault&Millau score of fourteen, with critics noting how the kitchen avoids forcing unrelated ingredients together.
The four-course omakase tasting menu showcases precise technique without sacrificing warmth. Diners frequently return for tortellini-style dim sums filled with langoustine, bamboo shoots, and ginger, all finished with a tangy spicy sauce. Black tagliolini tossed in a rich crustacean bisque pairs cleanly with grilled turbot served alongside fermented garlic cream and charred green asparagus. Aged beef entrecote emerges from the central wood charcoal grill, accompanied by sour maitake mushrooms and chili crunch.
The dining areas balance polished design with an unhurried pace. Large windows frame a terrace designed to resemble a private garden, complete with lush greenery and elegant drapes that shield outdoor tables. Groups seeking privacy can reserve the Golden Room, a dedicated space accommodating six to eighteen guests for intimate gatherings. Beverage service complements the food through a cellar focused on small Italian winemakers, selected specifically to highlight authentic Italian cooking.
