“ Mind boggling pasta. Totally unassuming. Maybe the best food in Montreaux. ”
“ Stumbled upon this cute Italian spot while walking along the lake in Montreux. Smelled amazing so we ordered a Diavola pizza to share. Soooo delicious! Hot and freshly made in 10 minutes. We could’ve eaten 3 more! Highly recommended!! ”
“ Highly recommended, very good food and fast service!!! ”
“ Great food and friendly owner. He also speaks Italian. We had a Pizza 4 Seasons and Tagliatelle with Bolognese. For dessert we had a delicious Tiramisu. We can recommend all of it. ”
“ Amazing Pizza, if you’re in Montreaux definitely give it a try. On par or better than a lot of the pizza we had in Italy last year. ”
“ We had an air BNB across the street and decided to check out this place for dinner. Ugh I'm still thinking about our meal, it was amazing. I ordered the carbonara, and my girlfriend got the lasagna. And wow I felt the love in these dishes. The carbonara had freshly made pasta and delicious sauce. But the lasagna was just ugh. It was baked and then broiled with cheese on top and it was flavorful and the texture was crunchy and soft and delicious. I believe he used his Bolognese sauce in it. We have had a couple of meh meals recently and after this meal we were both smiling and just completely satisfied. We plan on going again! ”
“ Very much a local, nice & family owned restaurant. Great food & service. ”
“ Very nice place to stop and eat. The service is quick and super friendly. Possible to ask to remove or add some ingredients on the pizza, very kind and much appreciated! There aren’t many places inside, so maybe better to book a table before going there. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the pizza, which I prefer to have thicker dough and a bit more taste on it. The prices are the ones in this region, not cheap… in the average I would say. Parking is free after 7 pm but not always easy to find one. ”
