    A great menu, mediocre execution. The flavors were flacid (got an artichoke risotto, bаrely felt the artichoke). My main course did not fit at all the menu description. When I addressed the matter with the waiter, they discussed with the front house manager, and they tried to convince me that the dish is fine. I don't think my visit was worthy.

    Came for breakfast—it’s a simple, standard hotel breakfast buffet. Food was good quality.

    Got a reservation here through our hotel Beau Rivage Palace. We're so happy. The view of the mountains and lake against the sunset were top notch. The food was excellent. The bread starter, the palate cleanser, and the burratta dish were phenomenal. This might've been the best burratta I've had - it was so milky and juicy and soft. The gnocchi pasta was sooooo good. They were pan seared and so they were crunchy but still on the inside were super duper soft and doughy. Maybe this is the best gnocchi I've had too (my favorite variation). The lamb chops were cooked nicely too. Finally, the tiramisu dish was excellent. Thank you!

    Was expecting a good dinner but left with slight disappointment because the restaurant didn’t meet my expectation. I was expecting good food & good service at this price, from a prestigious hotel chain. Among multiple appetizers explicitly mentioned that were to be shared, the burrata didn’t come with serving spoon/fork, so it was messy when ~8 people used their own utensils in the same bowl. My gambas risotto came with lots of sour cream on top of the rice, which was weird to my taste, plus the stiff prawns (I wondered whether they were frozen prawns). Vegan panna cotta was not of my taste - it might be just me. I also had to ask for drinks menu after I sat down + a waiter came to ask what I’d like to order for drink. Not a big deal at all, but wasn’t expecting this at such restaurant.

    We enjoyed our dinner at L‘Accademia. At the same time, I think there are an opportunity to bring it to the next level. What is great: Awesome presentation of dishes (see pictures), fast and professional service, rich and creative dishes. What could be improved: The taste of the dishes was sometimes a bit flat, too little spices - would be great if this could match with the presentation of the dishes!

    First time inside, usually we sat outside in the summer. The food is really good! Service was poor. Astonishing. Taking used glass a off the table? My coke glass from the aperitif stayed until we left 2 hours later, so did many other stuff. A couple sitting next to us spilled their wine glass. They moped the floor and their table themselves for minutes, no one ever came. We gave them serviettes from neighboring tables. When we asked if we could have some more French fries, the waiter told us that NO because kitchen was closing soon. I asked when and he answered in 30 minutes… I guess they had to grow the potatoes for the fries first? Ridiculous. Last time we’re coming, unfortunately. A truly great restaurant in its decline.

    - Great view of the mountains and lake from the restaurant - Friendly and attentive staff - The food/plates are average, probably not worth the premium price. Complex dishes having element which requires different cooking time may not be all warm or perfectly cooked once the dish reach the table, some elements on the plate can even be cold. Pasta is either over-salted or not salted at all

    The food was ok but took so long to server. Prices are very high for the food.

    An Italian restaurant with nice lake view. The foods overall was good. The pace of serving was impressive. Good service. Nice atmosphere.

  • 1/5 Mónica L. 1 year ago on Google
    The atencion received by Gabriel the waiter we had the bad luck to have, made our lunch a complete disaster. Incredibly disrespectful. Modals from a restaurant like this from their team are expected at higher standards. A client lost on our side!

    Delicious lunch and fantastic breakfast buffet. I loved this place and was so pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the food. Italian food at its best here. And what a view if you sit outside.

  • 2/5 Gregor H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location, some plates were great but price/quality unattractive. Get better Italian food in Lausanne for much lower price. Also, some main plates are simply not enough for a “normal” man. Service was unorganized and not flexible.

    Top quality of food and cuisine. Quantity too. Top service. What else coud I say? Wow!

  • 3/5 Remco H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great view of the lake from the terasse and the front line tables in the restaurant. The food is a mixed review with some strong and weaker dishes. Our waiter was fabulous as well as the small wine selection with some naughty markups! (3.5x). All in all a nice place just choose your dishes carefully. And yes our waiter was top notch!

    Really good food, nice place with beautiful landscapes to the lake. Highly recommended, but the list of gin's is too poor.

    The servers here are just wonderful, We sat in front of the ocean, and enjoyed the view with our delicious lunch. Must try!

  • 5/5 Mikhail B. 4 years ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic. Excellent dishes on par with star restaurants, attentive, but not annoying service, children friendly. And that's not to mention beautiful view of the lake. Enjoyed it a lot!

  • 5/5 Filippo Di L. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best restaurant I’ve tried so far in Lausanne. Italian cuisine with a gourmet touch, impeccable service and romantic location by the lake. Well done!

  • 5/5 The S. 3 years ago on Google
    An Italian style oriented restaurant, which brings you back to your last holidays in Italy. Stuff is very friendly and service oriented, super nice with the younger ones. The only thing I would change is to have a larger champagne list, it would pair so well with the food. Otherwise looking already forward to come back after lockdown! Cheers

  • 4/5 vic NY (Vic N. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service and plating, very good dishes, apart from the linguine alle vongole which was too heavy, probably better w spaghetti. The place has a great view of the lake. However the serenity and great ambience are destroyed by the street traffic just in front of it. Good Italian in general, not sure I would recommend for a return trip. The loud passing traffic really irritated me.

👍 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 😌
