Our family of four really enjoyed our dinner at Spinella. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We’ll be back when we’re in Geneva again.

Small restaurant with very friendly staff. Ambience was nothing special. The food was good but overpriced, even by Geneva standards (bearing mind the location and amenities of the restaurant) I was expecting a much more authentic atmosphere Overall good but certainly not a 5 star experience.

Disappointing. Service was too pushy, I get splashed by dirty water and the food was meh. Prices too high given subpar quality

Bonjour Madame Priya, nous sommes désolés si vous avez eu tel impression de nous, comme nous vous avons expliqué, après avoir fini votre repas, ça tombé un peut d'eau depuis le bar sur votre table, l'eau propre et pas salle d'une caraffe que nous servons les clients dans leurs vers. Pour l'accident dû à une erreur humaine, nous nous sommes excusé plusieurs fois et nous avons également offerts un petit cocktail que vous avez refusé. Pour la nourriture nous avons demandé après 1 minute que vous avez commencé à manger et tout été ok, et après que vous avez fini votre assiette votre réponse été toujours pareil, sinon on aurait refait bien évidemment de nouveau votre plat sans aucune frais. Nous espérons de vous accueillir de nouveau et vous faire passer toujours un agréable moment. Très cordialement L'équipe SPINELLA

Not our first visit, and clearly this has become a most popular restaurant with a full bookings diary on a Friday evening. Prices have now risen to reflect that popularity: >SwFr 100 per person (3 courses + 1 wine between two of us) is perhaps a little toppy - for our tastes at least. Effusive welcome and effective table service, albeit you’ll be hugamuga with diners at the next table.

A truly excellent meal, served by very friendly staff. It's not cheap but it's worth the money. I would not hesitate to eat here again.

Love going to Spinella for various occasions. Felt like something cozy and romantic tonight- so we were seated outside (less noisy than inside): for classic pasta/contadina with red wine. Of course had to try the seasonal cocktails. Sometimes a hit, sometimes a miss; but it's always fun to try. And tiramisu for dessert; the classic and the pistaccio one.

The brothers that own this restaurant are so welcoming. They greet you like you’re an old friend. They all studied mixology and have wonderful and creative drinks. For dinner we had eggplant parmigiana and I had the special. If I lived here I’d be a frequent customer.

Found this place through Tripadvisior and loved it. The food is excellent. We live in NYC so have been to many good Italian restaurants but found this place to be fantastic. Their spin on their dishes are unique and delicious. The servers are nice and welcoming.

the steak was not a filet but a cheaper cut sirloin, the flavor was good but was almost to touch to eat. the potatoes were very good and the mushroom gravy was great. the ravioli was amazing, but the gnocchi is sub par. salads were also very good.
