Tucked into Zurich’s charming Niederdorf district, Ristorante La Pasta is just a five-minute walk from the main train station, making it an easy stop during a day of exploring the city. Known for its homemade pasta and pinsas, this cozy spot offers a great lunch special—choose from pasta or pinsa with either soup or salad. During our visit, we shared a Margherita pinsa and a child’s portion of pasta with cheese, both delicious and more than enough for me and the kids. Families will appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, complete with baby chairs and a shelf stocked with coloring books near the coat area.
We recommend calling ahead to reserve a table, especially around lunchtime. Ristorante La Pasta’s central location makes it ideal for families visiting nearby attractions like the Landesmuseum, Wow Museum, focusTerra, the Natural History Museum of Zurich, or the playground at Lindenhof. It’s a wonderful family-friendly restaurant to enjoy a relaxed meal before continuing your Zurich adventures. For more ideas on family-friendly activities and restaurants in Zurich, browse our blog.
