They are only interested in seating people. The service is awful, everyone was frustrated by indifference from waiters. Our order was lost. Two times we asked two different people to lit a candle to the dessert as we’ve been celebrating birthday - and they of course did not do it, even though they promised. To pay I had to track the waiter down and get her from the phone, and she just dropped the check to our table and fled. Overall we spent around 2 hours in the place and were dissatisfied with the place. Ps. The level of customer service you can see in his responses.

We went this restaurant for quick lunch beginning of February. There were too many customers for lunch time so service was not so fast but my carbonara spaghetti was very tasty 😋 Nice atmosphere inside the restaurant, too.

03/24/24 Stopped in for something to eat during our weekend in Geneva. From the beginning it seemed that everything was fine, but they brought us the menu for more than 20 minutes, then they brought the pasta for half an hour, and they couldn’t bring us our desserts for more than 40 minutes. As a result, 3 waiters approached us and each of them did not know what we ordered. It was even more awkward ask each waiter to light a candle for dessert, but no one did, although everyone spoke English well and took our order, there was no language barrier, but our request was ignored. To pay the bill we had to catch the waitress, who was standing at the counter and fidgeting with her phone. The food is good, I don’t argue, but the attitude of the staff is just disgusting. P.s. Thanks to the owner for rating my comment as “not valuable”. Bad comments have no value, but good ones do? It is your attitude towards clients and willingness to work that any comments have no value for you. If there were 0 stars I would give 0 because there is no respect.

Despite our reservation, we had to wait 20 minutes before being seated. Good pasta but very oily. The waitress did not tell us that the penne was extra, unlike the spaghetti. Very noisy.

My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. The waiters seemed completely disinterested in the service, they never came to take our order or even provided us with placemats for the table. Furthermore, they simply placed the cutlery directly on the table, without any care for hygiene. Every time we asked for water, the waiter seemed to forget and we had to ask for it several times. Even when we asked for napkins, it was again forgotten. This kind of attitude and service is totally unacceptable in a restaurant and left me really dissatisfied. I hope the restaurant can improve their customer service to avoid similar bad experiences in the future.

Not the best of experiences. The food was fine and reasonable value but it wasn’t the hottest and took a little while to arrive. Worse was the fact that it took forever to order and even longer to be be able to pay. I would have stayed and had dessert and another glass of wine but it took so long I couldn’t be bothered. There was also an unpleasant smell in the corner of the restaurant in which I was seated. Would not recommend.

Absolutley delicious! Unfortunately I do not have photos as when it arrived at the table, it smelt and looks so good we didn’t think about photos and couldn’t wait to start! Lots of choice for vegetarians and helpfully labelled on the menu. We had the red pesto option and the carbonara plus some bruschetta to start. Staff were so friendly and helped with translation. In a great location on a walk between the lake and the cathedral. Great value for money, especially with the large portions.

The restaurant was quite full and I was worried the service would be shoddy, but pleasantly the waiter (curly short hair with glasses) went out of his way to give us the best service from giving us an English menu, checking if they can make alcohol free spritz to suggesting the desert. As a foreigner you tend to expect the worse but the service here made us feel welcome, we felt seen and appreciated as customers . Keep it up, I'll be making a stop next time I'm in Geneva

First time that I have eaten so poorly in an Italian restaurant in Geneva. Came for a birthday, a first for me in this restaurant and I see that the plate of pasta (tuna pasta) very poorly presents the pasta soaked in oil in addition to the canned tuna which was already very fatty. The pasta had no taste and was too greasy. Too bad because the restaurant was well decorated and the servers were friendly.

So order placed at 9:54 p.m. (while I normally have until 10 p.m.), it is validated on the application before being refused by the restaurant. So I call them to find out what's going on and there, not only is no solution offered to me, they just tell me that we don't understand what happened while saying that this is not the restaurant's fault (already there it's borderline) but what's more, not the slightest commercial gesture to correct the situation, NOTHING!! As a bonus, I almost got yelled at by the guy I spoke to on the phone because I dare say that it sucks to validate an order only to refuse it straight away without even bothering to notify the person concerned. You guys just lost a customer!

Unfriendly and annoyed service, a long waiting time and spaghetti that was sometimes hard and short. Overall, our visit to the Pasta People restaurant in Geneva was disappointing. Although we just wanted to take a short break and fortify ourselves, we had to wait over an hour for our spaghetti. When they finally arrived, they were not only partly hard, but also broken into small pieces. This made it difficult for me to roll up my spaghetti, which I like to do. I complained to the waiter, who then quickly took the plate to the kitchen to bring me new noodles without asking me if I even wanted new ones. Since my colleague was soon finished with her plate, I went to another waiter and explained to him that I didn't want any more pasta because we wanted to move on and everything had taken a long time. He canceled the order, but to my surprise the other waiter still came with a new plate of spaghetti. I explained to him again that we wanted to continue driving because we had already been here for 2 hours and I couldn't take the food with us as take-away because we were on the way. To my dismay, the waiter freaked out, stormed over to the trash can, and dumped the bolognese in it in front of everyone while insulting me. He then went back to the restaurant. The other guests were just as shocked as I was. My colleague paid the bill and I was happy that the other waiter had removed the bolognese from the bill. That was at least some small consolation. Still, we wasted a lot of time in this restaurant. This experience had a negative impact on our city trip and left us disappointed. We were hoping that the restaurant would be good based on the positive Google reviews, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. If you just want something quick to eat and want to move on, this restaurant is definitely not the place for you. It is unfortunate that we spent our limited time in Geneva with such a disappointing experience.
