"Very nice place with Italian cuisine. Located not far from CERN (which was important for me). The staff were very friendly. Food was delicious and portions were big."

"One of the best Italian restaurants in the area. Always amazing service, extremely accommodating, and of course excellent food. The history is that ages ago, the owner owned the place across the street (also very well known) but had to move. He eventually moved back into La Place, and I've been going here instead ever since. The pastas are definitely some of the best, in particular the Siciliana."

"Great food, great pizzas, and they also have a daily menu which is cheaper than the rest, and always something good. Most of the times you can choose between two meals from the menu. The personnel is nice and friendly, albeit they are sometimes way too stressed. They were open and welcoming when other restaurants in the area were not, so it's a big plus from me! They are more often than not full at lunch break so you should reserve, or call and ask for a takeaway."

"Excellent friendly and funny team, superb terrace in the back. Extraordinary wooden oven made pizzas and Italian food. Top place in Meyrin, they renovated very nicely the restaurant compared to what it originally was in the '90s. You'll enjoy yourselves out there in a nice Italian atmosphere. Top!"

"As someone who lives in Italy, I found the Italian food that they offer to be quite decent. The portions are generous. The pizzas are made in wood fired oven. Of course you pay 2x the price that you pay in Italy, but well, this is Switzerland."

"Great pizza! With a nice crust, not too soft but neither too crunchy. And they don't have pizza Hawaii, it means it's a serious authentic Italian place! ;)"

"I had a great experience at this pizza restaurant. The wood-fired pizza with spicy salami was outstanding, with a flavorful and perfectly textured dough. The fried seafood was crispy and tasty, and the portions were generous. Wine was of good quality and reasonably priced at under CHF 5 per glass. The service was warm and friendly, and there’s convenient public parking just across the street. Highly recommend!"
