Bad Bubendorf Hotel’s Osteria Tre Brings Roman Italian Dining to Bubendorf

The Roman kitchen

Irene Pugnali leads the Italian kitchen at Bad Bubendorf Hotel in Bubendorf, bringing her Roman background to every plate. She approaches cooking as a shared table experience rather than a formal service. Guests gather around classic dishes meant for sharing, which aligns with the restaurant’s recent Gault & Millau recognition for its lively tavolata style.

Shared plates and seasonal focus

The menu turns familiar staples into precise presentations. Guests often start with bruschetta topped with perfectly ripe tomatoes or delicate vitello tonnato. The main courses feature saltimbocca, slow braised tagliata, and crispy dorade served alongside bear garlic risotto. A family recipe lasagna anchors the heavier selections, while fried green asparagus and a golden fritto misto keep the lighter options crisp.

Sweet endings and cellar choices

Dessert stays rooted in tradition without reaching for complexity. Lemon crostatine and a straightforward tiramisu provide clean finishes to the meal. The wine list draws from the Balance family network, offering curated picks that complement the broader Italian cuisine without overshadowing the food.

Historic setting and modern extension

The property traces its roots to a 1641 bathing establishment, blending centuries of local history with contemporary design. A 2007 extension houses the dining spaces, separating the bustling kitchen from the quieter guest areas. Warm timber and large windows frame the Jura landscape, keeping the atmosphere grounded despite the polished interiors.
