Osteria Zaza in Genève

Always a safe bet to have wood-fired oven cooked Italian pizza.

Great! Excellent pizza and tiramisu

We had a lovely time at Osteria Zaza. The waitress recommended an excellent starter, and the pizzas and pastas were delicious. Although the tiramisus were good but not exceptional, their generosity in size was appreciated. Additionally, we were pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful gesture of the limoncello offered. The service was impeccable, especially when we stayed a little longer after closing, without feeling any pressure from the staff to leave. However, it's a shame that the menu is mostly limited to pizza and pasta, but that didn't detract from our overall experience, and we enjoyed our meal and the ambiance of the place.

Disappointing service. We are seated then asked to change tables several times We stand waiting in incomprehension... it seems that even the servers are lost In the end 3 simple dishes.... carbonara pasta with cream?????? A good pizza, pasta with tomato sauce ok nothing more A small bottle of water and 5dl of open wine charged 40 francs!! 2 express later the bill comes to 150 francs it’s a bit overrated After the poor reception it would have been quite correct to offer the two coffees but business is business.... and the evaluations follow!

Pizza was just fantastic, among the best I've ever had (and I'm Italian). The only negative is the limited menu choices. Still, I will come back, highly recommended

Very good cuisine, very well served and with a smile 🤗🙏✨

2nd food poisoning after eating pizza there. I can't recommend the place enough.

The pizza is the best in the world and the service is amazing 👍👍👍

Great Italian food, good quality. You can see the oven from the main room. You can also sit at the bar if you come alone.

I loved the atmosphere of this restaurant. I usually try restaurants with immersive decoration and we are right in the theme. The atmosphere is subdued. The bar is splendid, that’s what makes the restaurant so charming. The dishes are delicious, everything is homemade. Prices are not cheap but are consistent. The negative point I found is that the veranda is very cold in winter. Additional heaters are not enough. We also had difficulty hearing each other speak because of the large table next to us. I still remain very satisfied with this restaurant and will happily come back.

The meal was excellent and the portions were very reasonable for the price.

Sorry, we had lunch in the veranda the pizza dough was soft/moist, weird. In addition it was cold, very cold, nothing more unpleasant than having lunch in these conditions, I would not come back, despite the presence of a single electric radiator which had no influence.

I had the opportunity to dine at the "Osteria Zaza" restaurant and I can only award five stars in every category. The Italian hospitality was exceptional, with welcoming and attentive staff who made the experience truly special. The pasta was delicious, handmade, prepared with skill and high quality ingredients. The pizza was also something exceptional. The desserts were a real feast for the palate. I highly recommend "Osteria Zaza" to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine in Geneva and impeccable service.

Very nice place, staff very attentive to customer needs, preparation of dishes with scrupulous attention to detail. As an appetizer we tasted a mixed platter of cured meats and cheeses typical of southern Italy, excellent! The pizzas remain among the best in Geneva as the ingredients used come mainly from Southern Italy. Congratulations to the guy who manages this place with love and professionalism. I will be back soon!!

What a great discovery. One of the best Italian restaurants I have tried in Geneva (I am Italian). Very delicious food, starter, main course, desserts, I was very satisfied. Special desserts, so good and super instagrammable :) I recommend with my eyes closed!!

I've been there several times in a row, the pizzas are so good. Very high prices. Jet-set clientele.

Excellent refined Italian cuisine. Excellent al dente pasta. Suggestion: offer a dish of the day for 20frs max. Very friendly and dedicated staff

I randomly stopped by this place for dinner after a short trip through Italy. The cuisine here is even better than most places I visited in Italy itself

Great experience at this restaurant. We had an excellent evening. The team was very welcoming and gave us very good recommendations on dishes. We loved it, thank you again for this great service 😊

The dishes are delicious and the service is impeccable, we really like this restaurant and will come back!

I bought pizza to take away, the pizza wasn't cut, there was only dough and almost no toppings, and it was very expensive. I can't recommend it!

Cooking costs of 11 FCh because we didn't have a drink Very expensive prices for not much. Disappointing to avoid.

Congratulations to the whole team for this delicious moment of happiness in a magnificent setting. The service is just perfect as for the food, it is more than perfect, you don't leave a crumb on the plate. All for a reasonable price for this quality of cuisine. Very very fresh products. A real little piece of Italy in Geneva. See you soon

Very nice place, trendy. Excellent products. Approximate service and exorbitant prices on the other hand. It's too bad.

There were 3 of us on the terrace last Friday at noon. It's strange to leave the toilet at the same time as one of the employees who works behind the bar and wears a beret and who goes straight out without washing his hands. Unacceptable when you work in a catering profession. The food is ordinary and the bill is steep.

Very good, impeccable service Terrace a little noisy (normal we are on the side of the road) I recommend the mozzarella, it is succulent and fresh

Best Pizza in town, just entered in the top 100 pizza of Europe ! Pasta "al cinghiale" was outstanding, must try !?!

The best pizza I’ve ever had!! You pay the price for sure but I’ve tried many pizza and I have to say it was the best. The cocktails were very good as well. Tip top !

Very charming place, professional, welcoming and attentive staff. Varied and original menu with quality ingredients. Starters and pizzas at the top!

Fantastic place and delicious food

Much too expensive for what it is. Slow, arrogant and not pleasant service.

Best pizzas in town (at least so far). Everything was delicious. The place was packed. Did I mention the pizzas? I recommend the Pizza with mortadella or the grilled octopus.

Very good Italian restaurant. We usually share starters with a few cocktails or wine. Personally, I always go for the carbonara, which is just too good 😋. I highly recommend this restaurant for a friendly dinner with friends the setting is great and the quality of the food and service incredible 😻

Very good food but not very cheap

Excellent food Excellent service 10/10

Just perfect. Everything freshly made, great and very friendly stuff. Food absolutely excellent.

Nice place 😄 good food, especially the carbonara which was very authentic if a little light on seasoning. The pistachio profiteroles were also very nice

Quite affordable and napolitan style pizzas

Very good Italian restaurant in Champel. Excellent Neapolitan pizzas.

Excellent food, well-kept and welcoming place, impeccable service. The Zaza tavern was a pleasant discovery. Really high quality of raw materials. You can find traditional dishes with a pinch of innovation. We will definitely be back!

I was extremely pleased with my recent visit to Osteria Zaza, an authentic Italian restaurant located in the heart of the beautiful Champel neighborhood. This enchanting venue is a true paradise for lovers of Italian cuisine, offering a vast selection of dishes that are a riot of flavours. We ordered a pasta with scampi and a pizza with raw ham and buffalo mozzarella: superlative. The presentation is a true feast for the eyes, and each dish is expertly prepared, using high quality ingredients that blend harmoniously to create an unforgettable tasting experience. To end on a high note, we ordered a tiramisu and a dessert with exotic fruits: every bite was an explosion of delicate and refined flavors that leave a feeling of unparalleled satisfaction. The atmosphere of the restaurant is welcoming and charming, which makes it very suitable for a formal meeting with colleagues or a carefree dinner with friends. The staff is very courteous and super professional, always ready to recommend the most delicious dishes and guarantee excellent service. An experience to do again!

Delicious pizzas, quality products

We had a great evening, the dishes were delicious. Great atmosphere and service. See you soon!

Good but overpaid. No second courses available

Very disappointed with the services and not with the quality of service, very arrogant which plays with Italian machos

Honest italian food of good quality! The way they prepare pizza is their signature. You hate it or you love it. I definitely love it!

Very nice restaurant, totally disrespectful service to push consumption without offering any coffee or limoncello for regular customers. Thanks to the chef! Arrivederci zaza!

Excellent, delicious dishes and warm welcome!

Super good ! Qualityyy product. On the other hand, a little expensive. I advise you to go there only if you have enough money, because I will eat rice until the end of the month.

Rude staff. Relatively high prices.

Good quality! Good food but service could do better

Great service and quality food.

Friendly atmosphere, very lively place and passable cuisine, cellar ok and service ok, crazy prices. If I hadn't been so badly seated, I would have given it 4 stars...

Beautiful restaurant with a menu to match. Looking for great Italian food? Visit, all their ingredients are locally sourced I believe and the price is reasonable for Geneva

Warm welcome and impeccable service. Dishes with unique Italian flavors, with attention to detail. All very good. Excellent cleanliness. Congratulations to Dantonio and his team.

Very trendy and designer osteria/pizzeria, very pretty veranda and terrace. Not a bad choice, fast service and very friendly staff. However, the price is very high for the dishes and drinks, it's a shame because it's not great value for money... I won't necessarily go back...

18.- the Marguerite pizza which is quite cheap especially since it was very good!!! on the other hand 11.- the small plate of green salad without seasoning to accompany. Too bad I won't go back :/

Very good pizza. The prices are clearly exaggerated, as has become the norm in this type of restaurant (a pizza with a bottle of Prosecco CHF 40.- per person...). Normal service.

We ate very well, the dish of the day was pasta with excellent oesce and lobster sauce, furthermore the appetizers were very tasty and the freshly sliced ​​Parma ham melted in your mouth! The very kind staff

Great restaurant. Friendly staff and quality cuisine (thanks again for the limes ❤️)

Good Italian restaurant, quiet, nice terrace, good service, calamaratta di tonno, excellent! I recommend

Poorly organized welcome, waiting after being seated, we were asked to get up, return to reception, then change tables. All this for election and two other people in our place. I find it very inappropriate to have a couple get up and put two men on a bench in our place. Exaggerated price. I would not go back…

Descent Italian restaurant in a quiet residential area of Geneva. The place is modern and pretty trendy. Food and service are ok but for that kind of price I'd expect much better. I haven't tried the pizzas but they looked great. The restaurant will be empty by 2200 on a Saturday night. Dogs are not allowed.

Osteria was opened a few months ago. She became trendy and famous very quickly. True Italian cuisine. The pasta is as it should be. The pizzas are different from other Italian restaurants in Geneva. In any case where I was. Highly recommended.

Friendliness and courtesy, Carmelo puts you at ease with the choice in a menu that in its simplicity brings typical local dishes, in the end you taste as good as if you were in Italy, super recommended!!

Fantastic place and excellent pizza with quality ingredients! I recommend it to everybody

Excellent pizza and tasty pasta. In particular fregola with seafood was delicious. I found also the service quite good and courteous. It is not cheap, but the prices are in line with the those of other restaurants in the area.

The warm place. Warm welcome. Had a good time

1st server very good: good advice, very friendly - perfect! good quality food There were 3 of us at lunch and we had starter-main course-dessert and wine: so a good table for a lunch service. At 1:55 p.m. another waiter came to clear up asking if we wanted coffees - we asked for the dessert menu and the reaction was a sigh...! He was careful to clean around us loudly to make us understand that we had to leave... it was only 2:15 p.m. We were going to leave of course but perhaps without feeling kicked out. What a pity ! I’m not sure I’ll come back to it.

Super friendly, very welcoming and even late at night

One of Geneva’s best pizzas. Had a chance of meeting the owner Antonio who is a real gentleman with who I exchanged a few jokes and some good laughs. If it wasn’t for the food, I’d be back only for him haha! Will be back soon 🔥🍕

Traditional Italian food from all provinces, very good, nice atmosphere

We liked the pasta but our pizza was too soft. It's a blah Italian restaurant but unfortunately it has adopted Swiss habits, lack of generosity... each glass of wine contains 1 dl measured with high precision and the prices in piazza's are simply exorbitant. Fortunately the service and really TOP thank you girls! …one more comment for dessert..If you like Italian “Gelati”, I advise you to eat them elsewhere 😃

Beautiful table and attentive service. Good dining experience with family and friends.

Trip to Milan guaranteed! ideal for people like me who work in Champel

Great Italian, cosy vibe, food was lovely with top end presentation. Friendly staff, helpful with wine.

The flavors of Italy. I am Italian and Zaza is a very good restaurant. The tastes are as authentic as they are refined according to the dishes. Tender calamari as a starter, culatta (rare even in Italy an excellent raw ham from the Piacenza region) and good stracciatella. Then good southern tomato spaghetti, simple but good. Excellent squash ravioli!!!! And a royal tiramisu. Very friendly and cordial atmosphere... southern Italian style; after two times we are already at home. Geneva prices but the quality justifies them. Beautiful terrace in summer

Poor Food and try to hussel you with wine prices like tourist trap. I AM A LOCAL, boycott this place Guys

The Milanese style restaurant is really pretty, the waiters are very nice, there is a nice menu and the pizzas are very good! Tiramisu too to finish in style

Do you know what I always marvel at in Italian pizzerias in Geneva? Why in Italy even a glass of water is brought with a stand, and when the same Italians create their business here, they save on everything. I understand that glass holders in Geneva are expensive, but pizza cost is not 5 euros either. Listen, really, when you charge 60 francs per person for a very modest dinner, putting him between the kitchen and the toilet is it difficult for you to serve a napkin under a glass of drink?! Well, what can I tell you, this is classic Geneva service. The food is very tasty. If you want to eat delicious food, while not paying attention to the service - you can go there.

Very nice restaurant, pleasant decor, the food is good and the atmosphere is very lively. At noon anyway

Great evening, cozy place, friendly and competent staff, generous and high quality dishes. I would happily come back.

The pleasant surprise: magnificent cocktails! And the smiling and attentive team, go there with your eyes closed!

Excellent pizzas, impeccable service

Maybe the best italian restaurant in Geneva. Great atmosphere, friendly people, the best pizza in town, creative antipasti and exquisite pasta dishes.

Very good food, remember to book! The music is a bit loud though. Very friendly staff

One of the best restaurants in Geneva, with unbeatable value for money for a meal with friends

Sensational experience. Fresh dishes and with great care in presenting them in the best way. A beauty for the eyes, but also for the palate!! INSURED.

There were twelve of us for my son's birthday. Twelve to eat and drink, twelve to support restaurateurs by saying “we must show solidarity with the restaurant business and stop doing take Swan” My mother brought a cake...which they refused to serve on the pretext that they also made desserts The thenardiers of the restaurant, falsely friendly. Definitely don't go there. You disturb them

A fabulous Italian! The food has always been delicious and unique! The service has improved and is now great. Highly recommend this place

Cuisine, atmosphere, decor: everything is perfect! I recommend

The pizzas are very good. The prices and service are the opposite.

Delicious antipasto! fish dish does not correspond to the description on the menu

Decent Italian in the middle of champel , nice setting. Food is decent but a bit overpriced. Service needs a lot of improvement

Excellent food and very friendly staff. The Ravioli Parmigiana was heavenly! The fresh cheese is also a must try (we had the straciatella pugliese to share and it was absolutely worth it)!

Very good, good pizza 🍕 the octopus starter 🐙Very good, beautiful terrace and very welcoming staff

Ne prennent aucune réservation pour déjeuner.. pas tres commercial! Dommage, car il y a beaucoup de personnes que ca arrangerait

A very good, very positive experience, the right place to find flavors of Italy, very good cuisine and all the products are of very good quality, very welcoming service

Servers lack basic training in hospitality /service skills. Food is good but at zaza’s prices I expect service that isn’t rude, absent, and negligent. Would not recommend.

Experiencia fantástica y sorprendente de una cena italiana en Ginebra. La grandeza de Zaza es la oferta en Salami y Queso, probamos dos platos de Salami y Jamón Crudo de 36 meses y un plato de queso toscano acompañado de aceitunas y salsas. E inmediatamente después dos pizzas, perfectamente cocinadas al estilo napolitano, y decoradas con jamón y verduras, sobre mozzarella y tomates. El servicio es muy amable y acogedor. No falta nada comparado con las mejores pizzerías de Milán y Turín. Volveremos de nuevo.
