    Reserved after having read all the raving reviews about the exceptional food. While ambience and service were nice and very responsive, the food was a disappointment. Visually very well prepared, the dishes lacked character and to our biggest surprise flavor.

    Booked online and was seated in the neighboring cocktail bar. There was no indication from the booking or heads up that we wouldn’t be in the actual restaurant. Ordered the tortelloni and received ravioli, again nobody mentioned anything before it arrived. Have been here several times and food is good but service and communication should also match the price

    A hidden Geneva gem! Intimate, ambient and delicious! Highly advise going for drinks first next door at Dynasty La Finestre! It’s the most quirky and charming bar with a wonderful cocktail menu. Enjoy these places, they are going on our ‘firm favorites’ list! You won’t be disappointed.

    The food was great. But the service was terrible at the bar. Also the music was an odd cjoice for an italian restaurant (piano elevator music)

    I was there early before their opening time, but the service staff were very polite in the way they let me know that I should come back later. My server is knowledgeable of the menu and the restaurant even though he is just 6 months with them. Food was great. I ordered Langostine (best seller I was inform) and the lamb rack for my mains. Both were well cooked and presented; worthy of their Michelin status.

    Visiting Geneva and saw good reviews for La Finestra, however on arrival we were seated not in the restaurant but in the upper part of the bar/night club which was very noisy, even after turning down the sound. NO need to visit this restaurant again as food was good but not great. Disappointing.

    La Finestra is one of those places that keeps pulling you back again. It's a small, friendly place in Geneva's Old Town with a welcoming low-key atmosphere. The food is wonderful. We've never had anything other than great meals there. And there must be special mention of the front of house team - professional, friendly & always going out of their way to make sure the experience of La Finestra is first-rate. Thank you! Gary

    Never disappoints! Great food, service and cozy atmosphere. The prices a bit in the high side but still think they are appropriate. The location is also perfect right at the city center.

    This is a family owned restaurant since 20+ years, and the quality of the food and the care and attention of the service proves that they want to continue for at least another 20+ years! It’s a real gem, try it and find out for yourself….!

    This is an amazing place. The food was delicious and the staff were so wonderful with us all night long. I highly recommend it and will be back soon! Thanks to Armando and the other servers who made sure we were well fed and kept the Primitivo wine (my new favourite) flowing with a limoncello on the house at the end of a lovely evening!
