    Cosy, delicious, authentic - an experience I won't forget for quite some time. The restaurant is small and it is recommended to book in advance as it gets very busy in the evenings. The service is great, the waiters are friendly and attentive. However, as in any good restaurant, the food itself was the main event. Even the amuse bouche (focaccia with salt, rosemary and tomato) was absolutely delicious - warm, crisp and bursting with flavour. The antipasti sharing platter was a delight. Then the pasta was a treat, rich but not heavy, creamy and flavoursome. I would definitely come back here.

    The food and service was excellent. Only the road next to the outside seating is reducing the atmosphere a bit. But worth 5 stars!

    Best pasta dish I've had in a real long time, and probably now my favorite local Italian restaurant.

    The location is very chill and nice for a little date at the terrace. The service was super friendly and welcomed me and my partner even if we were quite late. I took the orecchiette with octopus and pistachios, which I really loved. My partner took the fish and it was okay. Wine list is on point, with wine bottles for every taste. We will definitely come back to try also the amazing dessert :)

    Very small and intimate restaurant - packed and crowded - which I quite liked. Feels quite authentic in its own way. We were accommodated last minute at the bar. Food was good, I had the special - truffle pasta. Very rich. My partner had the pasta with bolete mushroom. Was really not so good and refined quality of a dish. Overall nice but not mad to rush back here. The service and staff were spectacular. Super friendly.

    Great place. I live nearby, so I have eaten there and ordered take-away for lunch many times over the past couple of years. The staff and service is always top notch, and I never get tired of the pasta dishes. Popular so definitely reserve ahead of time.

    Enjoyed a warm welcome and amazing authentic food at this family run restaurant. No fast food here so take your time and enjoy the atmosphere. So good we return tomorrow night.

    Those folks work hard and have a unique cuisine offering, despite the numerous Italian restaurants in Lausanne of which some others are good too. That one is the best Italian in Lausanne.

  • 5/5 Nikhil Da Victoria L. 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding restaurant: food, service and ambiance. Each main dish was a fantastic take on a a classic Italian which are more familiar - clearly the calabraisan touch. The place was packed so definitely need to reserve. Also a very interesting and satisfying wine list only topped by good and knowledgeable service.

    It's been a long time since I've had such excellent Italian food with a great service. The menu is small but offers interesting choices that you don't usually see in other Italian restaurants. The service was really great and friendly. The tiramisu was delicious and light. I highly recommend this place. The price is in line with the quality of the food. If there was a negative point to mention, it would be the location, but the owner has done all he could to make it nice.

    5/5 on the service. Very friendly and great staff! Food was okay.

  • 5/5 Guillaume M. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredibly good pasta dishes. Friendly service. Maybe a little slow when the restaurant is full.

  • 3/5 puja 3 years ago on Google
    Food was very delicious but a little bit pricy. Service was very friendly but it took way too long. Had to wait almost 1h for food and the check.

  • 4/5 Gabriel N. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite like it, it was a little complex with the pasta recipes but it's palatable and balanced. Would recommend this place.

  • 3/5 Mónica M. 2 years ago on Google
    + The food was very good and the quality as well. - We were not asked for the COVID pass - Staff were pushy and if you didn't want to order more they made you feel awkward ( this after spending 120 Ch for 3 people)

  • 4/5 Clara B. 4 years ago on Google
    We had a reservation for 12pm. Our table was ready. It was a busiest time and guests kept coming, I assume this is why we had to wait for the menu longer than expected. The main course was delicious, exceptionel. The portion was reasonable. The dessert was very good as well but I found them pricey for 9 chf. The only drawback was the space, it was fully jammed and after you sit down you think about standing up for anything twice because someone or the waiter can bump into you immediately.

👍 I’ve visit this place a couple of times and I’ve enjoyed each one of it. I always choose the same burger though. 7/10. The employees could smile a bit more maybe? I know it’s a hard job but well… smiling is free! I’ll be back 😌
