I like to go to Giardino Romano from time to time, I know I will find in their menu a selection of dishes that make of the quality of the ingredients and their accurate combination its inspiring belief. The pizza is outstanding, could compete, and beat, with many over reputed pizzeria in Italy. The wine list is tailored to the... More

Il Giardino Romano is one of the best italian restaurant in Geneva. Located in the Saint-Jean area, with a very convenient underground parking (few places available) as it is almost impossible to find a parking spot outside. The terrace possess no view, but just the fact of having the possibility to seat outside has to be mentioned. If you love... More

This wasn't quite the short walk from downtown we were expecting and the area gets a little sketchy with roadworks, graffiti and less than welcoming high-rises.  But we were pleased we didn't turn back as the staff were very welcoming and even the owner helped out and advised on wine by the glass and a little translation assistance with my...

Very nice, middle rank Italian (i.e. not great Italian food but not just a pizzeria/spaghetti bolognaise place - so common in Geneva). Presentation of the dishes was great, unfortunately everything was a bit bland and underwhelming. The restaurant itself is very attractive, great terrace, service was extremely slow - though the restaurant was packed out, so maybe the waiters were... More

Looking for a nice "upscale" Italian food treatment? Definitely this is the place ! I truly enjoy the atmosphere here. Food is good and tasty, with a good choice (for vegetarian as well) and a nice wine list. During the truffle season, don't miss the pizza with fresh white truffles...a MUST !!!

This is probably the best food you can get in Geneva at almost half the price than anywhere else. I am surprised by the flexibility of the offer: you can have a very good pizza or other sophisticated italian dishes. I will get back soon

I've almost eaten more times in the Giardino than I've had hot dinners, so I'm fairly confident in what I'm writing. I've been frequenting this place for ten years now, and its standards are as high as ever. As the manager Stefano admits, there is no such thing as an Italian restaurant outside Italy, and the Giardino is no exception.... More

Here you can find the 'real' Italian cuisine, not just the usual pizzas and pastas. Best truffle-based menu I have seen in Switzerland, one of the best Italian wine selection ever. Very good and kind service, nice owner, a bit pricey but worth every penny. Since I have discovered it 5 years ago, I have been there multiple times and... More

The food was really lovely and the portions were very generous. The restaurant owner was extremely hospitable and the whole evening was very relaxed. I am looking forward to my next visit!
