The story
At ORSINI, Italian contemporary cuisine meets the refined standards of a Michelin-starred restaurant. Located within the historic Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich, this intimate dining room offers an experience rooted in authenticity and precise technique. The restaurant’s recognition—a Michelin star and 17 GaultMillau points—reflects a kitchen that balances tradition with modern finesse.
The driving force behind ORSINI is Consultant Chef Antonio Guida, who previously earned two Michelin stars for Seta at Mandarin Oriental, Milan. His move to Zurich brought a distinctive approach: Italian dishes that are both deeply flavourful and creatively daring. The menu changes seasonally, but the philosophy remains constant—using high-quality ingredients to let each element speak. A bespoke vegetarian menu is also available, crafted from the chef’s own imagination.
The dining room is as considered as the food. A handmade porcelain art installation by Livia Marin adds an artistic layer, inviting guests to appreciate Italian heritage through a contemporary lens. The restaurant occupies one of Zurich’s most historic buildings, yet the separate entrance via Waaggasse gives it a discreet, club-like feel. It is a setting that supports the cuisine without competing for attention—elegant, calm, and focused.
ORSINI’s Michelin star is not merely an award; it is a reflection of the kitchen’s dedication. The restaurant’s Italian contemporary cooking stands out in Zurich’s dining scene, offering a menu that is both rooted in Italian tradition and pushed forward by Chef Guida’s inventive spirit. For those seeking a genuinely elevated meal in the city, ORSINI delivers with quiet confidence.
