la Finestra Restaurant

Best Italian food we had in Geneva! The tortellini with fried artichokes was one of the finest meals I’ve. My wife’s ravioli tartufo was also delicious. A definite local gem including the attentive and friendly service.

Wow 🤩 impeccable service, food, atmosphere. Definitely get the gnocchi and panna cotta 10/10. Make reservations days in advance. Definitely recommend for a date night. Red wine was delish!

Impeccable service, our waiters were very nice, polite and helpful. None of them were Italian which is a bit strange, we thought it was authentic and this to me should ideally include the staff who serves you the meal. The place itself was quite stuffy, we had to choose between two small tables in a corner by the entrance door which was quite uncomfortable. We got offered a mini bruschetta, which is a nice gesture but if you have ever eaten a bruschetta in Italy you will know that it’s something completely different (see picture). We shared a starter which was very disappointing: the burrata with grilled vegetables where vegetables were completely tasteless. I have never been so disappointed with grilled vegetables before. The only nice thing was the burrata. Paying, 32 Swiss francs for that starter is extremely expensive. The Tagliata was good but the side dish consisted in one small potato and salad with two cherry tomatoes (see picture). The ricotta tortelloni were tasty, although the portion was a bit small. We paid 170 Swiss francs for two glasses of wine; one burrata as a starter and two mains. If the portions were all generous and delicious, it would be alright but it wasn’t the case, especially for the burrata starter. Compared to other high quality restaurants in the old town of Geneva we thought that the price versus quantity/quality was unequal. Considering the above mentioned, stick to pasta, because for the rest I unfortunately can’t recommend it.

The Steak was very hard , and The tortelloni were tasty, although the portion was a bit small.

An absolutely amazing experience, believe the reviews. The food is borderline star quality. Expensive but worth every Franc. 🌟🌟👌👌🍲🍲😍😍😍

I unfortunately didn’t take photos! Because I was so in awe as the plates were being placed on the table. Delicious Italian. El italiano de verdad. Service is top. Top favorite: Tortelloni a la ricotta. Perfect blend of butter, sage and ricotta. It brings artichoke pieces on top which add a divine flavor. Next favorite: Tagliolini Maison. The pasta is homemade and perfectly cooked. Has lobster tails and cooked tomatoes. Perfect quantity. Desert… without a doubt… the panna cotta.! The most perfect panna cotta I’ve had. Hope you have a delicious dinner.

Good italian food, the place is small but their food is good. Gnocchi, tortellini, steak, and the dessert was all good, so was the service.

I went to the restaurant on Saturday the 28th for dinner with my husband, terrible experience, they put us in an empty next room in a corner, there was no one else, then the food without any flavor, finally a value that does not match the very boring food. We definitely won't go back.
