We were asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside and were quickly shown to a table. Since we had had a long day we weren't starving, and asked if we could split the buffalo and mozzarella cheese appetizer and the tagliatelle with black truffles main pasta dish. No problem. We started with a glass of prosecco and bread with olive oil, salt and pepper and two other dipping sauces. We didn't ask for anything and our every need was anticipated. Our starter came timely and was delicious. Our pasta was split into 2 portions and I couldn't eat all of my portion and gave the rest to my husband. The truffle sauce was perfect and not overbearing. Service was outstanding. Our water refilled frequently. The manager / maitre de greeted us as we left amd asked us how our food was and thanked us for coming in. Honestly, one of the best meals and service I've had in a long time.

Pasta done right!…read more Since this restaurant was a suggestion from my Tour Director on my trip to Switzerland, I figured, what the hell? It is pasta, and Switzerland borders Italy, a country highly associated with pasta. What did I have to lose? I ordered the ravioli because it was highly suggested by the wait staff and it is everything you would expect in a homemade ravioli dish. Expensive? Sure. But you get what you pay for here. The meat special works best because you get some delicious ham with all of it, and it is already a generous portion. It was such a lovely meal that I thanked the staff for making it. Well done!

People flowed in, a thunderstorm struck, and the waitress jokingly thanked me for bringing so many people when I visit. It was a really good time. I hope it won't be too long before I can come back to Lucerne - and have a meal at La Fenice.

Leka was our server. The restaurant was casual but was still quiet and somewhat reserved. There were a handful of families and some small children; no one felt out of place. The food was unbelievable! The pizza was perfect and all of us enjoyed the well balanced flavors. One of the waiters warned me the Piccante was spicy, but I found it mild with just a little kick. Every dish was delicious and we left feeling quite full. After a long day of walking and enjoying time by the river, this was a perfect spot for sitting down and filling up. Strongly recommend you check this place out! We hope to return!

We quickly learned that portions are huge, and very little English is spoken at these smaller places. No worries though...after stumbling through ordering a beer (easy to order) and a Chardonnay (a little different) we ordered a large salad and a pizza to share. Service was excellent once we overcame the language barrier, and the large house salad (Gruner salat), and a combo pizza (stagioni) for 10.50 and 23.50 Francs were excellent! The staff are very pleasant and accommodating...we found one waitress who spoke English. This is definitely a popular place for families and locals and can be very busy. It's cute; quite small, but highly recommended off the beaten path restaurant!

First off, there were four of us, two adults two kids and they insisted we must order 4 pizzas. Ofcourse the pizzas are huge and as a result there was a lot of wasted food. Maybe this is a Swiss thing that anyone occupying a seat must spend a minimum amount, but if so, what a sucky way to run a business. Next when it came time to pay, the guys says "you must pay cash". Now I wish he had told us that earlier, not sure what we would have done had we not had cash. This was the first place in all of Switzerland in our 2 week trip here that demanded cash. But there was a reason for this as we'd find out soon. The bill was a little over CHF 100. I handed him CFH 110. He prompted gesticulated "ok? Ok? Finish".. clearly indicating that we wanted to keep the change as a tip which he did! Overall shady service designed to cheat foreigners.

I walked inside and it was very warm but decided to sit outside along the river. It was a bit chilly out but was an improvement over the warm indoor dining area. This experience took a few hours as they seemed to be short staffed even though the restaurant was about 50% capacity when we arrived. It took a long time to place an order. An order was placed for a carpaccio appetizer and I placed an order for the gnocchi pasta. Bread was served with olive oil and vinegar on the table top. The carpaccio was good and was served with cheese and arugula (forgot to snap a photo). The gnocchi was great! After we finished it took a very long time to get the check and head out. The place was almost empty by that time but still was a huge delay to get the check. The view to the river and the gnocchi were the highlight but much was to be desired for the speed of service. Three stars!

We highly recommend reservations because we tried to walk in the night before and nothing was available for one hour. We began our meal with Bruschetta which was very tasty. It was 4 slices of Italian bread covered in a delicious tasting oil, garlic, and chopped tomatoes. A nice start. My wife ordered the Spaghetti Aglio and I had the Spaghetti Bolognese. Both meals were tasty and cooked fresh. Portion sizes were respectable. The service was exceptional and our waiter spoke good enough English. The prices were very reasonable and cheaper than it would have been in the USA. This was a nice end to our trip in Lucerne. The restaurant appreciated our business and shook our hands twice when we left. It was worth the visit.
