Il Lago

An unbeatable buffet brunch experience. You really just want to eat it all. The presentation is impeccable and the food itself is top notch. A special thank you to the door man at the Ritz Carlton who directed us here as the Living Room at the Ritz was fully booked. An even extra big thank you to the door man at The Four Seasons who ushered us in on arrival and took us straight to Il Lago because he knew the experience we were looking for.

Unbelievable experience. From the service to the food and atmosphere it was an experience. Our host was amazing and she was accompanied by a full team who helped select wines and drinks and made sure our every need was met. The food was to die for. You MUST experience this for yourself!

We are staying at the Four Seasons Geneva and ordered Il Lago into our room, it was absolutely tremendous. This 1 Michelin star restaurant delivers on every level. Highly recommend and would absolutely go back. The ingredients were of the absolute highest quality. I’ve spent weeks in Italy and have dined at many fine restaurants, this was some of the freshest tasting pasta I’ve ever had. The burrata was exceptional as well. Also, order the tiramisu and the strawberry dessert. They were both incredible. If staying at the hotel, you absolutely must book this restaurant. If the service and quality was this good as room service, imagine how amazing it must be in the restaurant. The enter staff was flawless. 10/10

Overall pleasant lunch, great service and attentive. As advice I suggest to not sit close to the entrance as I asked to close the door due to the noise from the bar but they said that the entrance had to stay open... The food is high quality, well presented small portions, I personally liked everything except the tiramisu that I would have kept on a traditional way, this kind of semifreddo was not tasty and difficult to eat. Instead very suggested is the affogato!! Overall I recommend but for the price, I was a little upset by these two aforementioned things.

Wonderful family dinner last Easter holidays! Excellent food quality. Very attentive and friendly service. Special mention to the employee Alessandra, who made us feel truly welcome, with attention to every detail, friendliness and good humor.

We had a bad experience. We asked a medium steak without pepper sauce. We got first a well done one, second time a medium with pepper. They charged 28chf for a limoncello which is free in 99% in Italian restaurants. An extra bottle was added to our invoice when we didn't order at all. The food was average and definitely not in line with the huge price. We left disappointed..

Ordered the tasting menu. Everything is what you expect from the michelin-star restaurant: great service, unusual tasting experience. Here most of the experience comes from the sauces that you get with the dishes. They change the taste in an unexpected matter, for example, there was a ham with the tuna sauce. Never before I could expect that a meat and a fish could taste great with each other :)

Great experience in the Four Seasons Italian restaurant. Food was really interesting in terms of flavors and textures. Everything we expect from an Italian-mediterranean fine dining restaurant. Service is very italian-style so very elegant and professional.

Let me set the stage. Beautiful sunny afternoon in Geneva. We were invited for lunch by our friends from Portugal. We decided to sit outside which is a fun experience of its own. Bustling people and traffic going by. The Geneva style, men in full suit riding a bike or lady's with there colorful summer dresses and there Louis Vuitton flats. Such an amazing venue in itself. So then we start with the food and wine. I decided to have fish so a nice white burgundy was my wine choice. Normally I picture the label but I forgot in the middle of all my culinary excitement. I remember it was a meursault. Don't remember vintage or producer. But very good. So I started with the shrimp and steak tartar with truffle. Amazing flavor and the truffle, wow. Then I had the tuna. Was seared rare and lightly salted. Was amazing. A great presentation on the plate as well. Very decorative. I skipped Desert because it was lunch and just drank another glass of the white wine. I did pay close attention to the sounds coming from my fellow diners. It seemed that they liked there deserts very much. Now I'm no idiot. I know that there are places, settings and times that make your culinary experience better. Like your in a Foody dream world with all your desires being played out to perfection. So there was a little of this going on as I experienced our lunch. But in order to get 5 stars from me it has to be a memorable and cherished time. This was one. The service simply added to the overall appeal. My hats off to Il Lago. I will return for sure.

Excellent Italian restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel with polished service. One of the few good restaurants open on Sundays in Geneva.
