    Great service; ok food; fair price. Not getting 5 ⭐️ mainly due to the quality of the food: the dough was not airy and light as it should be in a Neapolitan pizza, and there was something off with the mozzarella (either the quantity or its quality).

    The pasta and risotto were good and served very nicely. The chicken in the past teated like not freshly cooked. The service was great 👍

    Very nice place but the waiter seemed annoyed I only spoke English. Other than that the staff members were kind and the food was ok.

    very unpleasant service. After reaching Lausanne by ferry, we wanted to drink coffee with our friends and we decided to go to this place. The waiter invited us inside. After a while he came over to take the order and was really mad that we wanted to take drinks only. Furiously, he began to remove the tableware. We wanted to order ice coffee due to the heat. He told us that they don't serve such things so we ordered regular ones. On the receipt that we received straight away the price was in Euro. At the end he stated that they do not accept payment in coins in this place and I needed to pay by the card. Btw - coffee was really poor, nothing special. The waiter - extremely nasty guy. I honestly do not recommend this place. Apparently only guests who leave three-digit amounts can experience friendly service there

    Excellent choice for pizza and pasta in the Ouchy neighbourhood, as well as reasonably priced wine choices. Great sidewalk seating during the season. Friendly service and excellent food. Highly recommended and I myself plan to be back when I am next in Lausanne!

    This restaurant serves very tasty Italian foods with a nice view!!👍 Also, it’s suitable for a large group of people since the restaurant is spacious including second floor. Both pizza and pasta were very delicious. Especially, the linguine vongole was my favorite🤩

    Really nice food in a great location. We arrived quite late for lunch by Swiss standards but we were greated with a welcome smile even though it was New Years Eve! We were seated and looked after by the manager I think who went out of his way to find us ketchup for our fries.

    Had Carbonara and Gnocchi. By far the best Italian food you can ask for in this region. I strongly recommend to people to try this place if you love Italian food. The staff was so kind enough to let you borrow cutlery because they ran out of plastic ones for take away and allowed us to bring it back to restaurant next day. (super friendly/kind understanding service of staffs) Magnificent should be the word to describe :)

    Giving the 5th star to uplift the 3.8 which I don’t feel justified. Excellent Pizza, very fluffy Napoli style dough, super rich topping, all fresh like you would expect it. Price was OK and service was very friendly and fast too. Glad I did not let me guide by the 3.8 rating.

    Perfect Italian restaurant. We ordered Kebab pizza, Italian style fritto Misto, Lasagna and Fish Bar (the Mediterranean style). very delicious it’s actually the best Italian food i ever had. Then, after checking out the offer a complimentary tea and coffee. finally, the staff are incredibly nice and friendly.

    Had pizza - made with fresh ingredients, hand tossed crust and brick oven cooks to a perfect level of done. The service was amazing - very nice and attentive without being a bother. Made sure we enjoyed our meal.

  • 3/5 Mario B. 1 year ago on Google
    Average price by swiss standards (wildly expensive if you're from anywhere else) pizzas were a bit doughy and limited ingredient options. Service was great. And the proximity to the marina was key.

  • 4/5 Vikentiy D. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely worth a visit. I was surprised with their pizza, especially the dough that was really well done. They are also serving at all times and not like other restaurants in the area that close their kitchen at certain hours during the day. 4 stars just because of the toilets that could be a bit cleaner in my opinion, otherwise it's a 5.

  • 5/5 Gayani K. 8 months ago on Google
    Friendly staff ...Tristan was just amazing with serving us warmly. Just Infront of lac Ochy ... This is the best place to enjoy a slice of pizza with some wine with the lake wind. The tastiest pizza I had in Lausanne. The place is convenient to reach too. Better to reserve in advance to avoid hassle.

    I really enjoyed the food here. The guy who served us was really cool and friendly. I believe he owns the place, hes really nice and I do recommend the place. Food was really nice

    OK food, good price. Not very life changing but nice to grab lunch looking on the lake.

  • 4/5 Ariane C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great service. Terrace a little noisy due to the traffic.

  • 5/5 Meredith S. 10 months ago on Google
    If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Easily the best pizza my whole group has ever had. Super amazing service. The chef came out and chatted with us a bit. Love love love.

  • 5/5 GJER M. 9 months ago on Google
    Spent a lovely summer evening outside this restaurant overlooking Lake Geneva, while enjoying a delicious 3 course Italian meal. The green salad was light and flavoursome, the vegetarian pizza hit the spot and the gelato divine. Service was impeccable and made it a really enjoyable visit.

  • 5/5 James J. 1 year ago on Google
    Proper Italian pizza as good as any I've had outside Italy The merlot was very drinkable And the affogato was generous!

  • 5/5 Pierre S. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been in Europe for a long time and i’ve been missing american pizza with great crust and i’ve gotta say this place quenched it for me. Really nice pizza paste and crust. Tomato sauce was spot on and loved the Diavola with its slightly spicy peppers.

    The service seemed very bad. Not nice behaviour from the waiter. The way how he greeted, seated us and prepared utensils was not nice. Tried 3 pizzas and all of them were undercooked and the dough also seemed weird. The topping were good though.

  • 5/5 Jean W. 2 years ago on Google
    Best gluten free pizza I have ever eaten. Perfect crust and great toppings. I had the Boccalino. The rest of the group also enjoyed their meals.

  • 5/5 Matt N. 2 years ago on Google
    Maybe this place changed ownership, it is much better than the last time I came a few years ago. Delicious pizzas loaded with lots of mozzarella cheese and fresh toppings. Reasonably priced for Switzerland too. A solid choice for a family or business meal.
