Mediterranean cuisine restaurants Romandy

A rather select clientele attends this hostel, which is appreciated not only for its delicious Italian cuisine, but also for the welcome and green terrace. You can choose from more than twenty kinds of pasta, white truffle specialities and other gourmet dishes that change every season. If a client wants something special, the chef will be in four to make him happy. After these delicious dishes, everyone still drops in front of the magnificent dessert cart. Book absolutely.

It is a tribute to the culinary tradition of southern Italy. The fragrant smells of olive oil, pizza dough and pastas made in an artisanal way as our Italian grandmothers used to prepare them. It is all the art of living in the Italian way of life that is served to you in copious plates. The dishes want to transmit all these ancestral values and the Luigia pizza is the effigy of it. Enjoy the crunchy pizzas made with cooked ham, boletus and truffle sauce, or the desserts, such as tiramisu, rum baba or panna cotta.

At Alfredo's, it's the atmosphere of an Italian cantina where very good pizzas are served for an interesting price in Geneva. In the summer, the terrace on the square looks like an Italian plaza and one appreciates being served quickly. A simple but good address.

This Italian restaurant of more than 50 years of existence serves very good pasta and pizza as well as magnificent seafood platters (from November to March). The menu varies according to the season. The décor is rather contemporary, with beige leather seats and leopard print benches. This establishment has been able to federate all types of public: multi-generational atmospheres where locals as well as tourists or passing stars meet. Young and efficient service, a good address, booking is highly recommended. It is also a hotel just a stone's throw from the lake.

Located in the heart of the old town, this Italian restaurant has a beautiful setting. The interior, with exposed beams, is elegant. The staff come to your table presenting the suggestions of the day. Well cooked fish, fresh ravioli… Here, we are not limited to pizzas and pasta, and serves more evolved, subtle and delicious Italian cuisine, but whose price seems somewhat overvalued. That said, the atmosphere is warm and the choice of wines very wide.

La Stella is dedicated to Italian specialties, with good pizzas and varied seasonal cuisine. Of course, the menus change: traditional pastas, veal escalopines, osso bucco, saltimbocca, risottos, beef fillets, grilled octopus tentacles, perch fillets, giant prawns... The dishes are well prepared and delicious. The welcome is distinguished and pleasant, the service efficient and the shaded terrace wonderful in summer. The restaurant also offers home delivery.

The restaurant, which boasts a large terrace adjoining the eponymous hotel, offers a sublime view of the lake and the Alps on the horizon. The site (12 km from Montreux) can therefore provide a base for your explorations in the region for a relatively moderate price for Switzerland, always varying according to the period. The terrace, however, is next to the road and can be noisy. The menu also varies according to seasonal produce. In winter, you'll enjoy classic dishes such as lobster, seafood sauerkraut and salmon.

In a bistro atmosphere, we like to share crispy homemade pizzas with fine dough. You will be won over by the Caprices des Dieux pizza or the Dolce Vita pizza. The menu also features pasta prepared al dente such as the penne tartufo or, more exotic, the Lola Montes with Mexican spices. A beautiful decoration with the pretty detail of the tablecloths with small gingham checks and the black and white photo galleries. It is in all conviviality that one tastes these dishes full of sun. In summer, the terrace is very pleasant.

Sun, sun! You can find it in the flavours of the South, but especially in the gigantic size of the pizzas - they overflow from the plate! Gourmet Italian cuisine, pasta, pizzas and tiramisu à la carte, and to digest the gargantuan dishes, nothing like limoncello or grappa kindly offered at the end of the meal. Perhaps a victim of its success, the service is a bit overwhelmed. Patience therefore, waiting makes appetite come... and you will need it to finish your plate. Settle down on the terrace on summer evenings and carpe diem.

The Italian dolce vita in the plate! Rediscover the authentic Roman cuisine. As the sign indicates, we are in Rome. In a traditional Italian setting, with a rather warm service, a mixture of smiles and professionalism, Le Colosseo offers excellent pizzas enriched with the freshest toppings, tomatoes, basil, rucola, which dazzle both by their color and their scent... The pasta is delicious, especially the linguine alle vongole veraci. Quality of the dishes and service

Do we come here out of nostalgia or envy? Since 1955, the Golden Age has taken up the challenge to be and remain a pizzeria with the good taste of Italy. A must between Quai des Bergues and Cornavin train station where all generations meet in a beautiful atmosphere. At that time, the Genevans came to taste what they called "tarts with tomato sauce". Today the pizzas still have the same manufacturing process: they are cooked in a mould, itself placed on the embers. They turn out to be small in diameter but copious.

The Garden, with its delicate, chic and luxurious setting! Le Jardin's chef, Philippe Bourel, honours the products of refined French cuisine. The dishes are both respectful of tradition and inventive. All the senses are awakened by the plates presented as works of art. Exquisite, tasty and ambitious, the dishes are exceptional. Let yourself be carried away by the red mullet and butternut squash with yuzu vinegar. The wine list offers delicious vintages that are difficult to find outside Italy.

Sun, ambiance of the south, Spanish laughter and accents in the Pâquis, in the colourful rue de Zurich, suitable for dépaysantes scents. A small, unpretentious corner in honour of the Iberian Peninsula and its flavours: churrasco of fish, pulpo has gallega, gambas and squid, with products from the small fish fish that the Spanish community has the secret. In this specialist of wood fire grills, meats impeccable watering fumets. The reception is worthy of the Mediterranean reputation, and the red from behind the faggots accompanies an evening of two as well as ten. Everything is also to be taken.

Cinecitta is a real hymn to cinema. The name is appropriate with the nostalgic decor from the great years of Italian cinema: Cinema Paradiso. Once the atmosphere has been conferred, it is only possible to choose which seat to take, that of Begnini, Bertulocci or Bellucci, to taste the fantastic pizzas, linguine al pesto or the pennes a la norma or the saltimboca. This "Cité du Cinéma" has certainly its own festival of pizzas with toppings and original names like the Miss Italia. You can also get seated on the terrace in summer while enjoying a nice Italian salad. This delicate and tasteful tribute will please those who love Italian cinema and food.

Three sizes can be chosen between a dozen pizzas or one with a choice of twenty garnitures. You can order penne, lasagna, wings, salads, desserts and drinks. There is also an Asian kitchen delivery at the same number (China Line).

Located in the heart of Lausanne, the Pavilion's large terrace stretches all the way to the Place de la Riponne. Here, people come at any time of the day to enjoy a coffee in the sun (or under the covered terrace, depending on the weather), as well as very good cocktails. The menu also features good small dishes to accompany your drinks. Suggestions change weekly, but the regulars also enjoy a good pizza, served on its wooden board. Pleasant welcome and beautiful decoration in the dining room.

The Bindella restaurant, located in Fribourg's old town, is a reference for lovers of southern Italian cuisine. A fine choice of antipasti and pasta dishes, and for secondi, a fine selection of refined Italian fish and meat dishes. Lemony veal ossobuco with polenta and the famous rosemary-crusted cockerel with baked potato are among the house classics. This is an excellent address from every point of view: the setting, the welcome and the service are all very well looked after. You'll have a great time.

Here's a warm and inviting place to enjoy a drink after a day on the slopes, comfortably seated on the sofas at the back by the fireplace, or standing in front of one of the big screens on important match days. In the evening, you can enjoy tasty Italian cuisine, prepared with the finest ingredients and served in generous portions. Pasta and pizza, of course, but also perfectly mastered meat dishes. On weekends, the restaurant is very busy, but the service remains efficient and pleasant. An excellent address.
