Merveilleux! Magnifique! And I don't even speak French!…read more We were directed to this café by a tour guide and through online recommendations. It was one of very few eating establishments near our hotel, so given its popularity and being aware of the need to have reservations for dinner, we decided to try a mid-day lunch. There was nobody eating indoors, so we selected an outside table. The area is mostly shady and has a nice feel, but tables are rather closely spaced, and if you're sensitive to cigarette smoke, you might not enjoy this. The menu has many classical Swiss dishes, and the place is best known for its outstanding fondue. We ordered this to share. A carafe of water, our wine, and a basket of not-so-fresh crusty bread (uncubed) came first. Then the fondue (in a cast iron pot), my gazpacho, and my husband's salad arrived. The waiter offered a half portion of salad, which was perfect. My gazpacho was slightly textured, had hints of garlic, onion, and peppers, and came with mini-croutons. It was perfect on that hot afternoon. But the star of our lunch was the amazing fondue, which was thick and flavorful. We did have to cut up the bread for dipping, and it certainly could have been fresher. There were lots of sparrows trying to get their share of it. All in all, this was a great afternoon meal at a reasonable cost (for Switzerland, anyhow). We'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Since the place is known for fondue, we had to get that and it was really good. I could have just eaten that and been fine but I didn't know that ahead of time and ordered some ravioli, which was very good too. Service was fairly friendly and the food was great, so I give it two thumbs up. I will say the seating is a little tight but they're trying to give as many people as possible the opportunity to eat here so I get it.

Pizzeria Azzurra had a nice outdoor seating area, so we decided to give it a try. I didn't have especially high hopes ordering pizza in France, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not the best pizza I've ever had, but certainly decent. I wish the egg on top of my pizza was runny, it seemed a bit overcooked. My friend said she actually enjoyed the pizza here than a lot of the pizza she has had in Italy! The service was a bit on the slower side, but that seems consistent for the area. Once you get the check, you can go ahead to the counter and pay the bill.

Here is what we noticed: - When we arrived, it was a little hot, so we opted to sit indoors, not realizing that we would be sitting near the open windows by the outdoor smoking section so be aware. - The menu is quite expansive, with lots of homemade pastas and pizzas. There were a lot of other interesting dishes that we wish we could try, but we just didn't need more than a couple. - We ordered a bottle of white wine and the server brought out the wrong one (a red). Luckily, we noticed it before it was opened and he brought out something else since the one we ordered apparently wasn't available. It ended up being really good! - We ordered a dozen snails, and eventually he served us four of them, indicating that they were all out, but that we wouldn't be charged. That was too bad because they were delicious and we wish they had had more. - We ordered the Quattro Fromaggio Pizza and the Tortellini Scampi for both of us to share. They were both excellent! - Service was OK, but our server got less attentive as the place got more crowded. It took forever for us to get our check and pay at the end even though we asked a couple of times. Bottom line: La Gioconda hit the spot for our first night in Geneva. It's not cheap but we didn't expect otherwise.

After a short 10 minute walk we located the establishment up one floor from the street. We were greeted immediately an shown to a table. The restaurant was bright and cheery with many families enjoying their surroundings. I was expecting to wait as the restaurant was very busy but within minutes our server took our drink order. The menu for just the pizzas and Calzones were more choices than anyone should have reason to ask for not to mention the pasta and meat choices. Again, once we ordered the pizza the food appeared within 15-20 minutes. The pizzas are said o be a portion for 1 person but we found with an appetizer an one pizza 2 of us were more than satisfied.

The tour manager recommended we travel into the old town center. I found this restaurant through Yelp and their Rosti varieties plus the food quality are exactly what I needed for a lunch stop. The Rosti did not disappoint. Full disclaimer: Rosti can be a bit heavy with the cooking process that can include butter along with some bacon. Yes, the Rosti had the expected greasy texture, but just enough to make it savory without overpowering the various ingredients. I would recommend this restaurant if you are interested in trying the traditional Rosti dish in several varieties.

We ordered a buratta appetizer, I ordered penne with gorgonzola and pancetta, another ordered the linguine with salsa verde (pesto), lardons and tomato. There are only three pasta dishes and there are other pizzas to choose from. A few appies and some desserts. I loved the buratta, pesto and tomatoes, the tomatoes were the best I have eaten all summer. My pasta was not home made as I expected. Three pastas on the menu in a place decorated as a Momma's kitchen, I was expecting home made. The gorgonzola sauce hardly tasted like gorgonzola. Apparently the linguine was much better. I will try the pizza on my next visit. Service was very nice, wine was Italian and delicious!
