On Tuesday evening, the 3+ program “Bumann, the restaurant tester” was invited to the La Vita restaurant by Francesco Boccia in Olten. Although the restaurant’s tester liked the Napolitana pizza, the menu raised doubts. The former star chef also had to criticize the staff: in addition, there are the high debts of the restaurant.
Former great restaurateur Daniel Bumann spoke clearly: The restaurant must be closed. Although 62-year-old Neapolitan Francesco Boccia has worked in several big-name restaurants in Switzerland and should have a great deal of specialist knowledge, he has yet to turn La Vita around.
The food was highly praised by Bumann, although he still finds some points of criticism about the restaurant’s design when he returns after his inquiry.
At the end of the day, Corona will shut it down.
Although Francesco Boccia wanted to continue, La Vita restaurant had to close at the end anyway: the pizzeria did not survive the Corona crisis. “At first everything was wonderful, then we didn’t have so many clients and we had to close,” says Francesco Boccia. It’s not an easy move for pétanque, which has been in business for 40 years. “Suddenly we had to close. First we ask ourselves what we should do and we try to work short time. But then we had to close. “
Francesco Boccia found the experience with Daniel Bumann good, as he told Telebasel: “We are both crazy,” he jokes. “Bumann is a very nice person.” At first the situation was a bit difficult, he says: “I was working alone and suddenly he came. That was a problem. The restaurant’s changing room ordered many dishes at once. Then everything went well.
Despite the closure, Francesco Boccia remains optimistic: «Why be sad? Life is a theater and we are the actors, ”he says. He continues to work as a pizza maker in another restaurant.
