la Finestra Restaurant

Excellent restaurant with a delicious food and a good service. We both enjoyed our meals (Tagliata and Sea Bass) and they were cooked perfectly. Desserts didn’t meet our expectations. Little bit cramped seatings.

I had an amazing dinner at this Italian restaurant in Geneva! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The service was exceptional; the staff were so friendly, attentive, and professional. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and everything from start to finish was just perfect. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be coming back!

What a great night! We sat out on the patio and enjoyed amazing food and watched the locals from the old city out on an evening stroll. Food and drink pairings were all amazing. We loved the experience at La Finestra. Oh and the staff were attentive, friendly and helpful!

Great service and fine food. Perfect for a date night.

The restaurant is cozy, the athmosphere realy nice and the service was perfect. The risotto with the asparagus and the shrimps where super nice. The only thing which struck me was the fact that the first dishes where so pricy. I've never seen this on that level in CH before.

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.

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.

Came here for new years eve. The food was really good, but I feel like the prices were expensive even by Swiss standards. CHF 36 for some rocket gnocchi is quite dear. The atmosphere is very nice and cosy, with Italian opera playing in the background. The tiramisu was definitely the highlight of the meal.
