ristorazione — Meilen · Svizzera
On the shores of Lake Zurich, at the heart of the Tennisclub Meilen, Gian Paolo Secchi brings Sardinia to the table every day. A family-run restaurant where authentic Italian cooking meets the conviviality of a sports club overlooking the water.
The door of Da Già opens onto a precise family project: a Sardinian chef, Gian Paolo Secchi, who chose Meilen to build a recognisable Italian identity. Authentic cooking, not adapted to local taste. Every detail of the welcome bears the mark of someone who runs both the dining room and the kitchen directly, day after day.
The dining room shares its life with an open terrace on sunny days, and the wine list features Italian labels chosen with the same care given to the dishes. The atmosphere is that of a family place: informal yet precise. Those who sit here can tell the difference between a restaurant that truly cooks and one that merely assembles.
From the stove come pasta dishes prepared to order — gnocchi, paccheri with Sardinian sausage, spaghetti cooked al dente — and impeccably fresh fish dishes that reach the table with the same immediacy with which they were cooked. The wood-fired oven completes the picture: thin, crisp pizzas that recall Neapolitan standards.
An authentic taste of Italy beyond the Alps: this page tells the story of the menu, the history, and how to reach the Tennis Club in Meilen.
