In 1973, the Commercio brought the Italianita to Zurich. The restaurant, cinema and gallery combined gastronomy and culture. To this day, the Commercio stands for encounters, pasta, wine and warm hospitality.

It all began in 1973, when the two ironmongers Eugen and Walter Schoch converted the old Commercio at Stadelhofen station. Their plan was to run an original and original restaurant in this cool location. As pioneers, they brought Italianità to Zurich.
They also added a cultural venue, the Piccadilly cinema, to the Commercio restaurant. The smallest cinema in Switzerland, with 47 seats, was created right behind the restaurant and was dedicated entirely to high-quality films. In the same year and at the same address, the Schoch brothers opened the Commercio Gallery. It saw itself as a forum for contemporary art and a meeting place for art lovers and artists alike. In 2011, the gallery and its rooms were integrated into the renovated Commercio restaurant.
People have always celebrated, eaten and drunk at Commercio: with friends, family, neighbors, lovers and acquaintances. But what has remained the same for years is the Italianità. A warm welcome, an uncomplicated handshake, a plate of pasta. And lots and lots of vino.
