5/10The restaurant was a lovely find and although some of our selections were unavailable we looked forward to a good meal. I am severely lactose intolerant and ordered a pizza without cheese and with uncooked mozzarella di bufola - it could not have been bufola. My allergic reaction was almost immediate and I had to find a toilet half way to my hotel, with all the pain, aggro and weakness that accompanies an attack. This was our last night on holiday and I was in a very poor state to travel the next day - really ruined our holiday. Make sure you check before ordering.

10/10I think they have some of the best pizza in Geneva, I also like it that the restaurant is small and cozy. Plus when the weather is nice, the small terrace is a great place to sit

10/10We had an absolutely wonderful time in this quaint pizzeria….pizza was incredibly delicious and wine was good too! And we were able to watch the pizza being made which was very impressive. Everyone was polite and made us feel welcome! Will definitely come back when we visit Geneve again! Thank you!

7.5/10In terms of the positives, the pizzas were fantastic and the staff were very friendly. However, we must have been there on an off night as it was like a scene from Fawlty Towers. We were sat next to the pizza kitchen which is in the middle of the seating area (alongside four other couples) and they simply couldn’t keep up with the orders. They were dropping delivery pizzas on the floor, burning the pizzas, sometimes putting on the wrong toppings, giving people the wrong orders and breaking glasses on multiple occasions. It was very chaotic and the staff (other than the pizza chef) were perceptibly flustered. Other diners seemed very unhappy (between 7.45 and 9pm) and multiple people complained because of the time it was taking to get their order - for us it was 1.5 hrs for two pizzas but there were people who waited longer and, in some instances, one person would receive their pizza while the other would have to wait. We weren’t in a hurry so it wasn’t an issue and the pizza chef (there was only one) was so calm and really tried his best - in the 3 hours we were there he didn’t stop and only went out for a 2 minute break once. The pizzas themselves were very high quality and our waiter was really nice - he apologised for the wait when we received our meal and didn’t charge us for our drinks. To be honest, I would return but probably not in the evening unless this was just a one off / they were understaffed and struggling to cope.

10/10Great restaurant, we ordered pizza and it was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Not exaggerating either. It started raining while we were there and they quickly gave us a table inside.
