This inside is slightly tacky, but not unlike many Italian restaurants. The place was rather crowded, but in a pleasant way. Service was fast, especially with the crowd, and very friendly. We got some spicy olives and bread when we sat down. We ordered a pizza Margarita and the Gnocchi a large Maison. Both were excellent. The pizza has a nice crust, was baked perfectly and had just the right amount of cheese. The gnocchi were very nice, slightly spicy. The glass of Puglia red tasted great with it. The desserts are nothing special. Scoops of ice or ready-made glasses. No problem, but not worth mentioning. Overall definitely worth a visit if you're craving for some Italian food. Our diner cost us 75CHF.

You take a little escalator up, and the vibe is almost romantic, or as romantic as a cafeteria-like setting can be. I love the concept where you use a card, order anything you want, and pay at the end. I feel like I should have tried more dishes before confirming that this place is three stars. I had a salad with figs and goat cheese, and though it was good and plated adorably, it wasn't enough to make me come back. This place is apparently a chain all over Europe, and the prices are alright when it comes to Swiss restaurants.

My girlfriend and I were recommended this spot by a friend who lives just nearby, as one of the best pizzas in town. Given that we both are extremely found of pizza and that at that point we were living pretty close to it too, we went ahead and stopped to check it out. Oh boy, we were not disappointed. To start off, you will basically hear Italian all the time there. While the staff speaks French and decent English, they communicate between themselves in Italian, with a lot of incoming customers being Italian as well. It's a great sign in general and here it was confirmed. They have a large selection of different pizzas, once again - all for a reasonable price, that are baked on a thin, chewy crust and with an abundance of toppings - basically the way pizza is supposed to be done. They also have an abundance of authentic appetizers while you are waiting for your pizza to arrive and serve you some bread. Overall a great experience! While this place isn't the best Italian or best Pizza of Lausanne in my opinion, it is nonetheless a great find and is definitely one of the best price/quality ratios around. I can but recommend it.

The pizza base is tasty, thin but soft, made with olive oil. The tomato sauce is homemade and the mozzarella is very good. It's an original recipe from Napoli. We tried the pizza margherita and one called BioFrat with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella buffalo, basil and oregano. Yum! They have delivery service too. Really a funny restaurant where Italian people sit, eat and chat at the only big table it has. The price is below average and the service is very friendly.

Atmosphere 3/5: The place is quiet old now with old tables and chairs. The decorations are sporadic and old. Not the most attractive place I ate italian food but really cozy and warm on a friday, saturday night. Food 4/5: Food was great. Since we showed up at 2.15pm, they still gave us the opportunity to eat. They were offering Lasagna or Mixed Greens. Lasagna was great. Service 3/5: Nothing over the top in the Service. The lady was in break mode since it was after 2pm but she still did a descent job at it. Overall an Okay restaurant to eat at. I would suggest the Pizza or Lasagna.

The waiters were awesome and very aware of what was in the food. I had a gluten free/dairy free version of pasta carbonara...which I haven't eaten in almost 20 years. I couldn't stop eating it. But I'd also read that their GF pizza dough was awesome, so I got a NUTELLA dessert pizza just to try it. OMG. It's just the bread with a TON of nutella on it. But everyone is right. Best GF pizza dough ever. Soft. Foldable. And their sides...I don't know what they did to them. But I couldn't stop eating the spinach and broccoli. So often a side of veg is just tasteless. But these were awesome. Sad that I'm not around to go back! Thank you!

I waited until arriving here to have French cuisine. I knew I could find better French food here because it is closer to France and I was right. I found this restaurant among all the French restaurants in town, I liked their menu and their reviews. We liked it so much that we went there twice and we only stayed in Lausanne for two nights. First night we have onion soup, escargot, beef tartare, green salad, dessert - crème brûlée and ice cream. Second night we have the Seafood tower and salad. Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Ambience: 5 starts I love their menu because they serve more traditional French cuisine instead of those nouveau cuisine (like eating foam)-. I want to mention the maître d' named Adrien. I just mentioned to him at the first night that we maybe come back the next day so he sent me an invite to remind me so we did. I would call that's service and thank you for doing that.

I've been here a couple times now, and I'm ambivalent-to-negative on this place. The food is ok,…read morenot great. I had an artichoke salad that was awful -- could barely chew most of it. The Entrecôte "Café de Paris" was a very poor quality piece of steak, with fat and tendons galore. The EB Burger (with a piece of foie gras on top of a patty) is different and delicious -- although the potato wedges that come with it are dry and should be substituted for regular fries. This place is pricey, and there other options that are better values (even in Lausanne, where prices are high in general) Service at the restaurant is hit or miss. For the most part it's professional, but there are definitely some wait staff who give the vibe of being arrogant. Given all that, the only reason this restaurant gets a second star is the ambiance is nice. It's somewhat of an awkward multi-level layout, but it has a charm to it. Classy and elegant. If only the food and service would match the surroundings, I'd be happy to go back.
