Jeu de l'Arc - Restaurant Italien Genève in Genève

Very nice experience, truffle festival.

We loved the Entrecôte !!!! And the high tech Fondant🍫🇨🇭

0 Star HORRIBLE AND EXPENSIVE Ultimately I could understand the high prices for truffles, but this is really exaggerated for truffles that are certainly cultivated (Trufficulture), very very little perfume, tasteless, frankly, we are being made fun of. In addition plastic tablecloth, placemat and paper napkin. The cleanliness of the restaurant leaves something to be desired, spider webs on the ceiling. dust and curtains yellowed over time... The staff are friendly and welcoming. On the other hand, the owner is serious about it... and lives on his past glory where the food in this restaurant was good and the prices were correct. Business business when everything holds us together. Avoid this address at all costs..

We booked on TheFork with 3 friends and we were shocked by the way we were served. First of all, we arrived at opening and couldn't take the time to get seated before a waitress came and asked if we had chosen. In addition, the waiter who came to take the order did not take our requests into account at all and forced us to make a choice. Finally, the quality of the dishes remains to be desired (tagliatelle not cooked enough, no accompaniment) In short, all this to say that with TheFork's 50% the experience went from "Abominable" to "Not nice" so I do not recommend!

They forgot to mention that the discount at The Fork also applies to how the manager treats you.

Very good restaurant! The unlimited pasta with beef entrecôte is a delicious dish that I recommend. It is very advantageous to pass by The Fork.

This restaurant specializing in truffles has conquered our taste buds. Each dish was an explosion of beautiful flavors! The team is remarkable and friendly. Elegant setting and impeccable service. An essential address for truffle lovers!

Generous cuisine and very friendly boss! Obviously a special dedication to the truffle risotto. Don't hesitate to ask the boss for some explanations about truffles, he is inexhaustible! To do

Not impressed, lacks quality 🫤. The host was very rude we had a 4 people table and we were 3 people, we left our coats and purses in one chair and he took it away arguing he had a full booked restaurant and it was never even half full, unnecessary rudeness very agressive! Will never come back.

Long wait before taking the order, then to be served! The homemade minestrone covered with puff pastry was pretty but only contained 4-5 beans, 2-3 pieces of vegetables and as many small letter pasta!!!… served lukewarm!!!… for frs 17.-!!! …. The tagliatelle wasn't hot either! 2nd meal in this restaurant, 2nd disappointment! The first time was good! But we are offered an aperitif and surprise, it appears on the bill!!!…. In addition, he does not accept yums benefits!…. We will not go back! At the next table, people were enjoying truffle tagliatelle! But 1-2 people said it was lukewarm! The boss came back to grate truffles on request. We wonder if this was added to the note!???….

Nice atmosphere and delicious food

We tasted the Orlani steak then panna cota, rum baba. Fast and smiling service! Very happy, we will happily come back 👋😁

A real favorite ❤️ The staff, adorable with impeccable service. The boss, a true enthusiast To go back 😍

Magnificent dishes garnished with truffle shavings. Truffle scramble, tartare etc. treat yourself.

Great experience with the food and service. Everything is easy and comfortable. A bit pricey but it’s worth it. You must try the steak (specialite). Tartare is not a wrong choice as well.

Terrible service, bad manners, the blonde girl who speaks Spanish is a nice exception and charming. The thickest man and the petite brunette waitress are very rude, they don't let you enjoy the food, they serve it without manners and they want to take it away anyway. Tourist trap water bottle, water to accompany? for 12 Francs, especially when in Switzerland you don't pay for water, they always give you a jug for free. If you want to pay an easy €300 for nothing, visit the place, the truffles don't have a very pronounced aroma either. The price would be correct, if at least the service was reciprocal to the price. Dessert could be any dessert from anywhere, also not recommended. We ate truffle noodles, salads, truffle carpaccio. If you speak Spanish and are lucky enough to read this comment, don't be fooled by the English reviews. Trap for clueless tourists. There are many places where you can enjoy a night and where they treat you well, enough to repeat here or go for the first time. And they let you read the letter in peace and respond kindly.

It’s always a pleasure to dine at Jeu de l’Arc. Thanks to Gabriello and his iconic waiter for the quality service and food. The arrival of the truffle always depends a little on the scent of Mambo (the owner's truffle dog), but that generally turns out to be very effective!

Always love to go back to one of my favorite restaurants in Geneva. Special mention for the owner (and his dog Mambo) who is the life and the soul of the place 👍

Quite simply the favorite restaurant of my wife and I. I recommend without hesitation!

The best truffle pasta in Geneva, top service, super friendly, great discovery.

Very good meat and pate as desired. No choice in accompaniments and high prices.

We were very well received despite our delay, fast service and the specialty steak with truffle butter was terrible!

Very friendly restaurateur, we ate inside with a child and a toddler. Beautiful menus (meals and wines) and very good cuisine

The restaurant is okay but what I can no longer stand is this young "cook" who just by seeing the look in his eyes it seems to me that he has some addiction...but nothing personal!

Interesting lunch option, though its specialty is very good, but on the high side on price.

Great little restaurant with very nice service. Make sure you get what they recommend, you will not be disappointed.

Very limited food menu but it's not bad Please note no children's dishes Fresh homemade dough For the Orlando dish like café de Paris, super good truffle sauce but too little sauce. You have to take an extra damage otherwise it changes and super good On the other hand, Grab dessert, amareto vanilla ice cream and mediocre truffle. You don't smell truffle at all. Excellent spaghetti prawn dish I recommend

Great food, certainly delicious

Very good restaurant! The salad dressing and the bread, delicious. Unlimited fresh pasta with the entrecôte menu. The steak is accompanied by a very good truffle sauce. The team is welcoming. Price-wise, I advise you to go through the fork for it to be more advantageous.

The setting is very friendly and warm. The staff is very kind and attentive. However, the truffle had little taste, even though it was served in abundance.

The boss’s welcome is great 👍 The dishes too 👍 The waiters and waitresses as friendly as the boss. Thank you and see you soon ✌️

The owner of the establishment is a gem 👌🏼

Very good meat, nice service, we ate very well!!

Well eaten, pleasant service, great discovery! THANKS!

Great food and wine selection. Lovely atmosphere, excellent service. Really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it.

Apart from the friendly, pleasant and competent servers (fortunately) the menu/dish of the day was tasteless, a tasteless St Pierre and rice and a ratatouille like seasonal vegetables!!!. In addition, the title “Italian cuisine” is incorrect since we are offered carbonara pasta with cream and therefore not Italian. For the vongole pasta there were no vongoles and nothing to replace them. So stop putting Italian cuisine, put instead European cuisine and that's it.

Avoid, expensive, tasteless, you can't smell the truffles, wet tagliatelle, butter grilled on the fire. Recommended Madeira wine: Valpoliciano Ripasso. (SPECIALTY) Beef entrecôte “Orlanni” with truffle butter 49 CHF

Very nice evening spent in this restaurant. The welcome is friendly, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The dishes are very good and served with great care. We highly recommend and will repeat the experience without hesitation!

Very good dinner experience. The welcome was great, the restaurant has a wonderful vibe and decor. The waiters were super nice and attentive. The food was also incredible, the steak with truffle butter was cooked to perfection, mashed potatoes with freshly grated truffle 10/10, and tagliatelle ala vongole were also very tasty. Will return 100%.

Do you like truffles? Go there with your eyes closed!

Excellent cuisine and very nice setting.

A classic little restaurant just like I like. Cuisinew service and pleasant atmosphere. Correct prices for Geneva

Deplorable welcome. Waiting far too long for taking orders even though there are at least 4 servers and the room is not large and not full. We point this out to the boss who is grumpy and even unpleasant. Once the order has been taken, the service is fast but what a disappointment in terms of the quality of the dishes: scallops and vongole overcooked, we order the steak rare, it arrives well cooked and the meat has no flavor, the truffled butter looks like a cloying crème fraîche. And the prices charged are indecent. Really to avoid. We will never go back

A taste experience discovering truffles, with an excellent waiter

A nice place with a decoration that I really liked. I don't find it easy to arrange the walls with so many things and have it look (to my taste) harmonious. What I really liked is that the sound is extremely controlled! The meat was divine, the mushroom pasta (so good!) was good, but a little too heavy a hand with the oil, maaaaaaaa that's part of the game, right? I loved the tiramisu, the panna cotta was just good.

Where to eat a hot but cold dish in Geneva? It's here! We ordered the house specialty, the "orlani" entrecôte, bathed (drowning!) in truffle butter (with truffle oil no doubt), and its "all you can eat" noodles (a great deal Or when marketing gives itself an air of false generosity). The steak is placed on a machine (a stove) whose temperature is regulated using a controller and 2 years of technical university. The waiter, otherwise friendly, brings the machine set to minimum. So much so that we ate almost cold! 😭 At the end of the meal, faced with our annoyance, he retorted - always sympathetically - that he would have told us that we could increase the heat! Unfortunately none of us heard this advice delivered in a thin voice that we wouldn't hear far away 😔 And to launch into long explanations to prove to us that the customer is always wrong! 🤔. We could have argued that the noodles themselves, from the 2nd round, were cold; but, good princes, we did not want to drive the point home. We are obviously bad craftsmen. A simple question: why not set the device directly to "hot" if it turns out that the minimum is not sufficient???

Menu focused on truffles which are excellent there. Fairly slow service and decor to redo... Good prices except wine

Very well received and very well eaten

Very kind staff and very good cuisine!!!

Good restaurant and fairly central location. The service is top notch and the staff welcoming. Afterwards it is true that the prices are a little expensive...especially truffle pasta at 53chf...uh how can I put it ;) in short good but expensive. Avdc the fork remains expensive but affordable. Note the pretty funny lovers' corner

Very good meal and very friendly server

A restaurant with a decoration that has remained in time, retro and cozy. The food is very good, quality products and good service. I recommend this establishment 100%.

The charming place, a very good steak with a little truffle butter and very friendly staff I recommend ! Very nice restaurant as I like them

Very good restaurant, well-kept cuisine, very tender meat. Good choice of wine🍷

Top service and quality dishes!

Super well eaten! Their specialty is incredible, we will return 🤗

Really very kind and accommodating, really special setting, very good product and generous! A few small oversights in the service but it deserves 4 stars =) thanks again

Happiness to share moments in this place alone or accompanied :), thanks to the whole team.

Excellent restaurant, generous portion and impeccable service

Great experience! The beef was very tender.

Very good restaurant (especially for truffle lovers), warm welcome and nice setting (the exterior a little noisy because it is next to the road). The prices are a little high but the products are quality (I recommend a reservation via the fork which can be very advantageous)

I simply find that it is a restaurant that lives on the past and the daily specials are expensive to very expensive.

For an arrival at 8:00 p.m., no wait was observed. My terrace overlooks the road so a little noisy depending on taste. Staff available and attentive Simple and easy to understand menu but with very few Swiss wines Aperitif accompanied by salad and bread Tagliatelle with Truffle recommended Fast service despite a bit of a wait at the end of the meal for the bill Recommended location

Retro setting, nothing to say about the service, good dishes, the truffle is in the spotlight

Horrible cooking of meat Dried tagliatelle Lots of overcooked side dishes Hateful butler Really not great

Highly recommend this restaurant! We showed up a bit early for our reservation (the place wasn’t even open yet) but the owner was kind enough to seat us and offer us champagne while the staff prepared for the evening. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was exceptional. We hope to return to Geneva one day and we’ll be sure to come back to Jeu d’arc again!

excellent food. service clearly needs to be improved. casual and uncourteous butler. restaurant which is worth the detour to eat there and which is worth the detour........to avoid a bad reception.

Cold welcome from the boss, service to be reviewed...

Amazing steak with a nice choice of truffles. Highly recommend the Specialite / Saignant (medium rare).

Came with the fork, the dishes were very good, but there was a feeling of being served in less quantity than customers without a fork!! Vegetables half! The service was too fast, I had barely started my spritz before the starter was served. And it happens too quickly. Apero starter main course dessert in 1 hour. But good meal.

Very delicious Milanese with a good choice of wines, with the discount on the fork it is very suitable

Too expensive and small portions. The menu day/night is not worth it. The menu is unpresentable, at least the lamb one. The 45chf beef entrecote was good but according to the menu it is 200g and they arrived at 100g at most. I attach a photo.

Fabulous place, ambience, and food, very nice and professional personnel Thank you ! I will definitely bring people to this great restaurant

Disappointing experience aggressive manager. BARILLA tagliatelle with prawns (6 on the plate) bland. In short, not recommended for a 75 year old establishment ....

One of the most beautiful buildings in Geneva, Avenue Pictet de Richmond, the Italian restaurant is near but not in this building.

Establishment full of charm. Pleasant service but nothing more. The concept is well established, even too well. The house lives on its assets, the truffle is present and good. On the other hand, the tagliatelle are a scandal. Plain dough with liquid cream at the bottom of the plate for a significant price, it seems to me that we can do better.

Been twice, the NYE dinner and later for dinner too. They are specialized in truffle dishes. A great choice if you are into that, otherwise not for you because all dishes have truffle mushroom.

Welcoming staff and very hearty cuisine, I highly recommend!

Beautiful. Delicious. Friendly welcome in a refined and authentic setting. The menu delighted us. Well done. An incredible evening. Talent, quality and sympathy. A must in Geneva. We just went back this evening. Miserable room service. 3 requests, no response. Truffle menu for 95 francs. You don't even have time to drink an aperitif, you'll be attacked. Services worthy of a fast food restaurant. The sympathy is gone. U.S. too. End clap. To avoid. Addition 600 francs.

Simple but good dish, however the price is not at all suitable, too expensive for the quality of the dishes offered

I loved the entrecôte with the truffle butter, a real treat!! The prawn tails as a starter are also succulent.

I went there yesterday and the menu has shrunk, there is no more risotto We waited more than 20 minutes for the starter (I had scrambled eggs) And there isn't enough sauce for the entrecôte

Excellent truffle menu. Served a little quickly. We don't have time to enjoy the dish, the next one is served immediately. Damage.

Pleasant welcome, good cuisine, especially Italian

Excellent truffle-based meal I loved the friendly and very helpful staff

A typical Italian restaurant like you find in northern Italy but without pizza. The map is modest but that is precisely its strength. You can't miss its specialty, entrecôte with truffle cream. You must order it rare and if necessary leave it on the stove which will be installed on your table. The truffle leaguer ice cream sundae ends this experience with Gab, a black truffle enthusiast.

Truffle mushroom specialty restaurant. It was amazing that I could eat so many fragrant and fragrant truffles in “Geneva” at this price… .. What we ate was special entrecote de bæuf (French bæuf) with added truffle mushrooms and cream. Even though we tend to eat a lot, everyone ate to their fill! I ordered the meat medium and rare respectively. The meat is really, really soft!! Please note that spaghetti noodles have unlimited refills… . What impressed me about the service... I felt a consideration that I could not hope for in Europe. For dessert, I ordered fondant au chocolat, vanilla ice cream, raspberry ice cream for the baby, and raspberry ice cream for the adults... Maybe it's because fondant au chocolat took a long time. Baby raspberry ice cream comes out first. The rest of the adult portions came in the form of fondant au chocolat… . Impressed ㅠㅠㅠ

Cozy typical Swiss atmosphere in city center with good food including several specialties with truffles . Servers were nice and friendly and the restaurant seemed to have many recurring visitors as several people knew the staff. Good option for lunch.

Very friendly welcome, impeccable service and top decor! Go there with your eyes closed for an incredible steak 👌🏻

Super good atmosphere and the food is very, very good!! They are very generous with the truffles. The staff is very kind and will always be at your disposal.

Very disappointed compared to the last time I went there. Prices increased, the quantity of meat decreased and the truffle was dry and tasteless. Cherry on the cake: carafe of water Fr. 1.-!!!! with bottle of wine at Fr. 55.-. And they came twice to bring us the dessert menu even though we had asked for the bill.

The dishes are all simply excellent, I recommend the restaurant's suggestion: entrecôte and tagliatelle with truffle butter. Very pleasant and attentive service.

Lovely food and service. Definitely will be back.

Great food, warm atmosphere, impeccable service, very nicely decorated, everything is superlative ❤️❤️

The truffle tartare was good. Excellent shrimp fricassee! Super well located in the city center of Geneva.

The staff are helpful and friendly. On the other hand, in my opinion, the prices are very expensive. Indeed, the quantity of truffle on each dish is very correct. On the other hand, the dishes underneath are bland. 46.- for a dish of pasta with cream and summer truffle shavings, it’s still very expensive.

Exceptional meat and a server with a very second-degree sense of humor. A great culinary moment 😀

The Orlanni steak specialty with truffled butter named after the chef at 21.- with discount Fourchette app 50% on the entire menu even restricted except on request depending on attendance (excluding drinks attention /!\ concept of the application) WOW!!! In addition to exhibiting the famous black truffles in the window carefully guarded behind his barrier by the Lagotto hunter exposed to him on video in the indoor room in the absence of a match haha ​​(Euro2020;) PS: rustic outdoor chairs like the setting but not so comfortable above all for sensitive backs.

Generous truffle service... but for the pasta and its cream sauce: no emotion, or even a big disappointment... Disappointing for such a price. The meat was perfect.

Décor très vieillot Je précise que je n'ai rien de spécial contre le patron. En revanche, la binocle, petit serveur lunetteux et maigrichon s'est payé notre tête sans raison, et pour ça tout le restaurant le paie par cette évaluation mauvaise, mais vraie. Nous étions deux, avec réservation pour le soir. Il n'y avait personne à l'intérieur à ce moment-là. Ce type nous attribue la table à courants d'air, c'est-à-dire juste devant la porte. Je demande juste après s'il veut bien nous donner plutôt une autre place. On se retrouve à une table avec un coin de mur entre nous deux... C'est quoi, ça ? ? forcément, je demande encore un changement. Que l'on obtient, évidemment. Sinon nous ne serions même pas restés. Malgré tout, à ce stade, c'est déjà cuit, mec ! Tu me fais passer pour quoi ? Tu m'as pris pour ton paillasson ? Grave erreur. Sinon, les plats : très simples, mais ceux à la truffe sont pas mal, et le patron, qui râpe la truffe à table, est généreux. Mais les plats sont vraiment très simples, avec une bonne partie de la carte, vaste, consacrée aux pâtes. Rien de mémorable à part la truffe, argument commercial numéro 1 du lieu. Un peu léger pour un soi-disant restaurant italien. Toutefois, la crème brûlée était bonne, juste comme il faut. Ce n'est pas un dessert si facile, alors bravo sur ce point. Mais il en aurait fallu plus pour racheter un accueil en mode payage de tête: il aurait fallu gifler le serveur pour être quitte.
