The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Lausanne

A small, warm place in the red and yellow tones that offer all kinds of foccacie, these Italian sandwiches, which you can eat indoors on the terrace or enjoy at the edge of the lake. Since March 2012, the small downstairs room serves as a restaurant, offering naturally Italian dishes! Very kind and smiling servers.

With its light wood decor and bright rooms, this pizzeria offers gourmet or more classic pizzas, pasta and other traditional Italian dishes, making it a good stop-off for lunch in this area after, say, a visit to the Olympic Museum or a stroll along the lakeside quays between two parks. We've thought of everything, especially the children, with a corner dedicated to them, which is always good to know. The pizzas are good, and the service professional and welcoming. Recommended address.

Life is good, it's true, especially when it comes to having a good time in a real Italian restaurant. As generous as the pizzas, the menu is long and we note the 20 kinds of sauces proposed to decorate your pasta. The atmosphere is warm, and you will be welcomed with a free house aperitif. The two rooms are often well filled. We appreciate the menus designed to satisfy all appetites and especially the weekend menu with a choice of pasta, risottos and pizzas. It's ideal for families.

Mangi sano vivi bene. This is the credo of the Leonardo, dedicated to Italian cuisine geared towards well-being. In addition to traditional pizzas, fresh vegetables, fresh pasta, meats and fish a la plancha, there's the star product: focaccia, straight from Pane, Amore e Fantasia. To complete this high-quality cuisine, gluten-free dishes are also available. You can enjoy all this in a refined, designer atmosphere (takeaway also available). When the weather's nice, you'll love the large terrace overlooking the piazza.

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.

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.
