La Trattoria, Geneva

One of the best place in Geneva for penne siciliana but the rudness of the employees can leave a bad taste and a bad lunch/dinner experience. I went to that place several times for lunch for the food, and the short time spent there. The rudness of the employee piss me off and I go there only with colleagues at lunch time as they can serve a large group rapidly.

fresh and tasety food reasonable prices (for geneva). food arrived fast and fresh. waiter was acting like he is doing us a favor by serving us and gave us the feeling of "if you do not know what you supposed to order i can not help and you are waisting my time".

lorsque nous voulions avoir une explication sur le prix de la pizza à 30 francs (supplément mascarpone 5.-?) le patron nous disait qu'il ne voulait pas notre avis. IL NOUS SUGGERAIT DE NE PLUS REVENIR. une attitude pareille mérite à suivre le conseil du patron! choquant!

Service was outstanding - also the food is the BEST I've eaten in the two weeks we've been in Geneva. With all the high cost of everything here - you can't go wrong eating here. Is there anything on the menu that isn't great?

Tried to get a pizza at 6 PM and we were turned away: not serving until after 630. So be clear, they do not serve continuously.

It's a lovely place with a lot of charm! The food is excellent, try the "Penne Siciliana"! For me the best is pasta but a lot of my friends love pizzas to. But there is also a lot of meat and fish who are really good. It will be to bad to miss the chance to eat in this restaurant if your in Geneva.

i simply love pennne carbonara...i have never ate best penne carbonara like they cook..and the pizza is delicious...the restaurant it is always full so you better assure you have a reservation.

The service is terrible. The waiters seems when asked to explain some of the dishes on the menu and they. This is a place where they want you get in quickly, decide quickly, eat quickly and leave quickly, which is quite rude in my opinion. But the pizzas are great and some of the pasta dishes are good, but not far from excellent.

A friend at the UN recommended the place and I went. Rustic, small, doesn't open til 7:00. The recommended penne Sicilian was outstanding. Service was basic but good. Well worth the price.

What I liked: Their signature dish 'Penne � la aubergine' is the best you can find in Switzerland. It is delicious, the servings are huge and the service is friendly. They have a good selection of red wines. They also have great pizzas baked in a real wood burning oven and other stuff. What I liked less: It is pricey (but so is many things in Switzerland), the tables are a bit crowded together so it is sometimes difficult to get in and out of our seats and it may take a while to get your food.
