Petite Vendée in Lancy

So I ordered the penne carbonara... It's shameful. I haven't had such bad pasta since the canteen. I have the impression that they use prepared sachets for the sauce because it tastes so much like flour. Very disappointed, I would stick to the pizzas now.

Average service because they are often overwhelmed and don't have good manners. They complain, they don't smile, they show manners... If the service is obstructed, the food is plentiful. Remember to ask for a doggy bag and generally, it’s very good! Oh and giant pizza!

It is an incredible place, very good service, they are very kind, congratulations, good job

A wonderful experience accessible to all. Delicious food, attentive service and affordable prices. I recommend !

Great restaurant, warm atmosphere and very generous portion👍👍👍

The meat and pizza are very good. Quality cuisine and quantity! We come out with a full stomach and the prices are fair.

Excellent good meal, very generous quantity, grandiose and the staff is very friendly and ultra efficient. I highly recommend. Well done 👏

The size of the pizzas is AWESOME Great discovery!

The food was pretty good. For the rest: we had a reservation for 9:00 p.m. and we were made to wait 10 minutes standing. Afterwards, my girlfriend ordered a cold tea which arrived after a good ten minutes. I received my dish 15 minutes before my girlfriend's, which meant we had to share my dish until hers arrived. Finally, one of the waiters: Irfan or Stefan, I don't know his name precisely, was distinguished by his odious character. When working in a restaurant, it is appropriate to greet customers, use polite expressions such as: "thank you, you're welcome" and not jostle people or look at them badly. I would also like to add that the music inside was way too loud to hear. If I am writing this long review it is because fundamentally the food was good and there is room for improvement if certain modifications are implemented.

I had a memorable evening, and I celebrated my birthday with my friends, see you soon,

Pizzas as large and delicious as ever. A little disappointed by the spaghetti with vongoles which lacked shellfish.

1 Star... because you have to give at least one but it deserved less than 50,000 stars. The lamest pizza in history. Burnt... burnt... burnt... No one could eat such a thing. Do you recruit these pizza makers on WISH?

In general, food is good. We like the location and that it's family-friendly. However, the quality of the wait staff could really improve. There's high turnover so the service experience is really hit or miss (sometimes friendly waiters, other times clueless or rude even). Overall, I would still recommend La Petite Vendée for casual dining and good food.

When we came in the evening to have dinner, we were seated on a table that had not even been cleared even though the restaurant was half empty. In addition, we were made to wait a good 25 minutes before coming to give us a table and take our order when I signaled my annoyance to the waiter. I point out that the unused glasses of previous customers were not even changed and that I had to manage to find a card on the table of other customers. Regarding the cuisine, we did not fail to burn our palates with ultra-hot gnocchi served after a wait of 30 minutes as well. What can we say about the basis of any meal, the bread, which we did not see during the entire meal….. Being accustomed to quality service in this place I was extremely disappointed this time. Especially since when paying the bill the waiter asked me if everything went well and I didn't notice any reaction when I replied "meh". In short, restaurant to avoid on Sunday evening….

The side of the pizza and pasta is Massive very good value for money.Great food clearly a passionate CHEFF that knows what he is doing.the service was abit slow but it was definitely worth it

Magnificent cuisine, ultra-generous portions and top-notch team. Great value for money. So just one piece of advice: Go for it! 🤩

Good restaurant, the pizzas are huge. Good quality meat

Very good discovery, the plates are very generous!! THANKS

Very nice home made pastas, very generous portions...

Been there about 3 times. Each occasion the service was poor. Had us wondering if it was because we were people of color?

A great moment between colleagues!! All our plates were really delicious!! Dishes that arrive hot all served at the same time. Very pleasant servers. I invite you to experience it with your eyes closed A big thank you to everyone from LA PETITE VENDÉE

The best way to describe my experience would be by sharing the scene from zalone in Norway... "non si nomina l'Italia invano". A true disaster. Slow service and with plenty of flaws (e.g. still waiting for the wine which has never arrived).. The scialatelli alle vongole were not scialatelli, but linguine (and nobody told us)... on top, they were really badly cooked and not well creamed (in Italian it would be described as "pasta lavata"). Somebody ordered a Risotto ai Porcini which managed to be worse than the Linguine. Basically tasteless. In a nutshell, something must have happened to this place that used to be average but definitely better than today.

Great food, nice portion, great service, thank you

This restaurant is getting worse and worse...we order scialatielli aller vongole and we receive overcooked spaghetti with no taste. Not to mention the service... the order is taken for half the table then the waiter comes back to take over and forgets one person... the pâtés were served 25 minutes after the pizzas...

Huge dish and pizza, the boletus tagliatelle had a cube of undissolved stock in the middle of the plate

Love the settings of the terrace. Attentive service. English menu available by scanning the QR code. Excellent food quality. Tasty and delicious. Generous portion size. Exceeded expectations. Super value for money spent. Will definitely go again.

Served in generous quantities, very cute winter garden

VERY generous portions and good Italian dishes with plenty of choice.

we wait 1h30 to be served, for a tasteless meal

Very long service (1h30 wait to be served), servers not very pleasant and food not incredible. Only the entrance was good. I don't understand the positive reviews left because there were several of us and no one liked it.

We discovered this restaurant for the first time, it is a real Italian family restaurant, excellent dishes. Very generous, price more than fair, the servers friendly, smiling and generous, a little noisy but I highly recommend it.

Great restaurant, very welcoming and the staff are adorable, we came to celebrate a birthday and they really contributed to the good atmosphere! Thank you so much :)

The pizzas are gigantic and pretty good. The prices are really very reasonable in relation to the quantity. The staff members are very attentive, helpful and friendly.

Quality and gargantuan pizzas. To do at least once, great Italian restaurant in Geneva. THANKS

Order by Smood: 4/5 Order ready from 8:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m.: 0/5 2x pizzas ready since 7:20 p.m. and reheated during our visit at 7:50 p.m. At the time, it was still +/- functional but since Enzo is no longer there, it's even worse... I really like Enzo, Gérardo and the brother but I no longer order from Smood and not at all from the brothers. Really sorry... Carlos

The pizzas are not good and neither are the doughs. It's really sad because a few years ago everything was really very good, it's changed a lot

The worst restaurant in Geneva.

Reservation made at 12:00 p.m. by telephone for the evening 8:00 p.m. Arrived at 8:00 p.m. no place, restaurant crowded. “Two minutes” words that were repeated to us for 30 minutes as we waited standing in the lobby. We ended up losing our patience, we got angry. In short, it's really bad, they don't care about the customer at all. Absolutely avoid!!! We finished pizzeria just above, lovely and competent staff, ate very well, thank you thank you!

I had reserved a table at 8:30 p.m. for my darling’s birthday. After 30 minutes of waiting outside in the cold, we decided to find another restaurant…

I have been going to this restaurant more than 5 times a year for over 10 years. I have always been very satisfied with the service and the pizzas. However, for almost a year and a half I have noticed a big decline in the quality of the pizzas and the service. They are smaller, there are fewer ingredients etc. It's a shame because this restaurant is very famous in Geneva. Unfortunately, the quality is no longer there as it used to be and it's not insignificant if I don't go as often as I used to.

Great restaurant, homemade pasta is to die for.......

Outstanding pizza! But filled with quality products! At least you get what you pay for.

One of my favorite restaurants. I always take the carbo spaghetti with truffle oil, it’s delicious! A real treat. The terrace is nice, really cool and quiet atmosphere, but there are a lot of people on the weekend! Everything is perfect ! I recommend !

When you have the fangs it's a good choice, you go out you're full and it's good

Surprising: portions of food TOO large, Otherwise, very good. Personalized service followed by an efficient and pleasant waitress. Decoration to be renewed or even repaired. Definitely to be continued.

We went to the La Petite Vendée restaurant last night for a dinner for 7 people. Result: 3 patients vomited all night, 1 who didn't even touch his dish out of disgust and 2 others with stomach pains all night. The person who had not touched their dish asked the waiter to taste theirs and he told us that they had had a supply problem with the cream and that the one they were using was turning during cooking or after a few minutes on the plate. We asked why they served dishes in cream which they knew were inedible and we were left with no response other than the offer to make us another dish which we refused. Finally they offered us the limoncello which arrived....hot We were also placed outside even though we had not requested this when we made our reservation. On a stormy day, we would have preferred to be at least under the cover of the terrace. It didn't fail, in the middle of the cafes, the storm arrived and we had to leave urgently. Very disappointed with the experience in this restaurant which I appreciated very much before that. I won't be caught again.

Very good pizza 🍕 Team and very friendly. I recommend.

Warm welcome, very pleasant terrace. Very generous and excellent dishes. Really good ! The rating is a little high but commensurate with the quality and quantity. The tray to take leftovers home is offered before you ask. In short, first visit but not the last. See you soon.

Allow time... waiting more than 35 minutes before our desserts arrived, had to ask several times for carafes of water, difficult to get the attention of the servers. The gelatinous lemon tart, the tiramisu lacks mascarpone, but the chocolate fondant is good! During our last visit, those who ordered pizzas were served 45 minutes after the other dishes... we will not return.

You know why you paid for a dish, they don't make fun of you!! and that's good!

Our last two visits were disappointing compared to all of the last few years. The quality and quantity of ingredients on the pizzas had nothing to do with it. Too bad, because the service remains top notch. Hopefully this is a fluke of bad circumstances.

A great discovery!!! Real Italian cuisine 🥰🥰 Top servers!!!🤩🤩

Very nice shaded terrace, good food, service a little slow for the lunch break.

Our experience was wonderful as well as the food and service Thank you for a lovely dinner.

Very good restaurant, the servers are always very welcoming and friendly, plus the prices are affordable. I go there very regularly, thank you!

There is only one positive thing, it's the food which is delicious! Otherwise, endless waiting, unpleasant servers. They were not overwhelmed, and one of them was sprawled on the back of a chair and when we asked him about it, he replied: yes, it's coming but he didn't move! I have never seen such behavior and I have never waited so long in a restaurant. Arrived by reservation at 8 p.m., served at 9:30 p.m. And we were finally able to leave at 11:30 p.m. Luckily it was good at least!

Poor service, no organization, totally lost and unpleasant servers. The lasagna is bathed in tomato sauce, we are brought a pot of spicy oil (without a spoon) and a side salad almost at the end of the meal. In short, a disaster from start to finish. We won't go back there again.

During a meal to celebrate a birthday, there were 9 of us and we were not all served at the same time. (~45’ wait to be served) not to mention the other requests made.. disappointed..

Very warm welcome, good service, friendly staff available, smiling... Succulent pizza! I recommend this beautiful place

Very good discovery, this restaurant is excellent. The servers are very nice and very welcoming. The dishes are delicious and served in generous quantities. I will definitely come back and highly recommend!

more than an hour to be served and the pizza burns

A nice place to eat Italian in Geneva. Excellent service, very friendly. Multiple choices on the menu, all excellent, tasty and fragrant. Very generous with the possibility of a doggybag.

Given that I've been to the other restaurant from the same brothers I had really big expectations of this place. I can't say I was particularly disappointed but I certainly seem to have been unlucky. The dishes that my friends ordered all came out looking and tasting great with very generous portions no sane person would complain about. I had ordered a beef tagliata just like one of my friends except I requested rare and she asked for medium. When they arrived, hers was slightly pink in the middle as it should be and mine was in the stratosphere beyond well done. It was just charred, black and chewy. I had to ask for a replacement and I eventually got another which was "only" well done and no pink in the middle. At this point I just gave up and ate it as it was certainly edible albeit not cooked correctly and we had to leave shortly after. Like I said at the start, I think I simply got unlucky to have had a negative experience but it's also clear that when the dinner rush starts, they are woefully overwhelmed with customers and mistakes are bound to happen with limited staff and a deluge of demanding customers. In conclusion, don't avoid this place but aim for a less busy period if you want to maximize your chances.

Great atmosphere, friendly waiters and what can we say about the pizzas... They are very good and also very large. Difficult to finish, fortunately you can take your leftovers with you.

Huge pizza size, perfect for good eaters

Very disappointing experience, not too many people but a lot of waiting, a pizza forgotten when ordering but not forgotten when billing, no apology, not even a gesture for the person who did not eat. Reservation through the fork but the restaurant owner refuses to make the reduction. In the end, we're not going to come back. I strongly advise against the little Vendée.

Great restaurant, too bad the terrace was not accessible.

Great disappointment on our arrival, the terrace closed. The information could have been given when booking. We found ourselves inside where it was really hot. The dishes were well served and good. One of the waiters was unfriendly when it was indicated that there were extra coffees at the time of the bill. During checkout, the waiter who was cashing was not very pleasant either when we answered his question "why are we leaving already" by telling him that we would have appreciated a little limoncello given their error on the 'addition. He told us that there was nothing he could do, it was a small employee... All these little things together didn't make us want to come back.

Huge pizza, tasty, thin, crispy and digestible dough!!! Haven't tested the rest yet, I'll have to come back :-) I recommend!

when is the next time 🤤 great 👍🏻

What to say... Nothing, everything is really great in this restaurant. The food is really good, the service is great and the atmosphere is great. Well done to the whole team.

When we say that their pizzas are huge, it's really no joke

The bearded man at the checkout is very unpleasant! 5.50 francs were added to the bill and not only does he refuse to redo the accounts and he also speaks badly to me! Despite this, the other servers and the kitchen are great 👍🏼

A good restaurant with efficient and tasty cuisine and huge portions!

Good points : - The meat, 2 steaks of beef with delicious truffle sauces and boletus sauce, was extra tender and tasty. - The bread was also good. - Attentive and friendly staff Less positive points: - The menu was unable to offer several wines because: "out of stock from suppliers" - Nothing to nibble with the aperitif - Closed terrace (for security reasons we were told) - Fries and vegetables as a side dish in very small quantities - Noisy room (atmosphere) - Industrial whipped cream (bomb) on the Denmark cup - More chocolate cake that evening

It was with great pleasure that we discovered the place recommended by a Lausanne resident Laurent the waiter answered our questions with a smile and kindness. We will come back with pleasure despite the distance

Pizza way too big, no children's menu. Very expensive for what it is!!!

Friendly setting The only downside was that we waited 1h30 to be served even the smallest thing was to be offered coffee or a digestive to apologize for the long wait. I asked for a medium-rare beef fillet which arrived rare when I returned it and it was brought to me very cooked and inedible!!! Very disappointed

Very poorly served plate of prawns there are only 6 small prawns with 10 fries!! Ashamed!! We arrive at the end of the meal and they make us pay 120.- for a side of beef that we didn't ask for!! Drinks cheated all the time and a super unpleasant waiter!! It was the first time and it was the last time

Perfect service! And also fast with large groups

Good food served with large portions, very pleasant waiter in a warm setting and atmosphere.

Very nice place which makes us forget the city during the meal break. Huge pizzas of very good quality.

Great service on the terrace (quick and professional smiles), excellent (quality of products, dough, cooking but huge) pizzas

Very good restaurant! Very generous, the staff is very friendly, I recommend!

Top ! Very generous portions, it's very good and the setting is really nice. I had a great time. The only complaint is the slightly high price but it's well worth it. I highly recommend

The dishes are very generous, a pizza for two is more than enough. Plan to take the rest to go. The restaurant is beautiful and the servers are very friendly.

The food is amazing, the serving portions are really good. My only comment would be regarding the noise in the place, theres is not much to do about people talking but on top pf that they put music, which makes it a little too much.

Huge pizza 🍕. Gigantic penne dish to take away

Very appreciable value for money. Always remarkable service. A delight. Grace

Italian restaurant, original place with a warm atmosphere. We were a group and we were seated upstairs in a private room, really ideal so as not to disturb other customers. The pizzas are delicious and very very large! Small downside on the dessert... I had the Nutella gnocchi but the plate is much too generous and inevitably there is a lot of waste. Otherwise correct service. I recommend for families, lovers or large groups.

The pizzas are good but huge. The pasta is also excellent and very well served.

Super, excellent service, great food, everything super good. Recommended 100%.

Finally a hearty plate at a reasonable price in Geneva... I couldn't believe it! Very good and really hearty for good eaters

Always well received, quality cuisine and very generous, even too much, it's complicated to finish the dishes the portions are enormous and it's a shame. I still point out that they offer to take away what is not finished but it is a shame to have so much.

Magnificent 45 cm pizza, excellent, service a little long because the restaurant is full, reserve your table if you want to be sure you can eat.

We ate very well, the dishes were plentiful and there was a wide choice. The service was impeccable, the server was very friendly and welcoming. The interior is good, the terrace is very welcoming and it must be pleasant to eat outside in summer.

Very good restaurant, attentive, helpful and caring staff, absolute kindness and as a bonus a top meal! Aperitif Martini Kir blackcurrant, too much cream Entrance Too salty pepper bruchetta, too bad... Bruchetta tapenade excellent!! Top-notch tomato basil bruchetta, full of freshness in the mouth, a marvel. Penne arrabbiata very hearty, spicy at the top, I recommend the dish. Seafood risotto, very hearty too, excellent dish, I can recommend it too 😉 In conclusion, we are going to go back to try other things on the menu, very good addresses ++++ and welcome ++++

Generous dish, especially pizzas. Friendly staff. Unfortunately, we came out of there with food poisoning…

Me and my girlfriends went to this restaurant. And the waiter (with glasses) made very inappropriate comments about our chests. All evening he didn't stop making disgusting innuendoes to us! (my friends and I are MINORS) Personally I was very uncomfortable. However there was a new server who was very friendly and helpful!

Very good service, the pizzas are huge and very good.
