Ulivo in Lausanne

Italian restaurant which offers excellent homemade pastas, meats and fish. The staff are lovely. Nice selection of wines available. The restaurant is not huge but the tables are spaced far enough apart to be quiet to chat and enjoy the food. Selection of antipasti as a starter and gnocchi to die for. I highly recommend

10/10 I have nothing to add, too good

Very oppressive welcome, unfriendly waiter who kicked us out because we had only ordered an aperitif and not a whole dish. Forcing customers to consume is not worthy of a restaurant.

I had one of my worst experiences in this restaurant. Irritated by our time spent thinking about choosing the menu, the waiter began to have an unpleasant attitude. We decided to leave, after paying almost 40 chf for an aperitif (2 poorly served, too foamy beers and a spritz). At this moment, the waiter said something inappropriate to me: “the napkin at the restaurant costs 4 chf”. He puts the cutlery back in place, even though we had touched it, and invites us to leave in a very polite manner: “outside the restaurant, leave.” No comment….

If you are looking for a round table, perfect service, perfect tastes and good wines, it's simple, sit down at an excellent address. Many thanks and well done!

Good welcome. Very well eaten. Very good products. The exceptional wine offered.

Everything perfect. The situation is a bit detrimental to the establishment.

The food and ambience are really nice, but the portions of main dishes are a bit small, not enough of sides next to fish and meat.

Excellent quality Italian cuisine. The wine list is well-stocked. I advise you to let yourself be guided by the very professional advice of the staff, especially if they have a special arrival (in our case, the white truffle).

Nice, friendly and professional. I recommend !

Excellent food, the duck stew is super good and the service magnificent!

Exceptional experience in this Italian restaurant. The magnificent atmosphere, a warm welcome, and attentive service who took care of every detail at our table. The dishes were delicious, worthy of a five-star establishment. My only observation would be the consistency of the tiramisu, a little runnier and sweeter than expected. However, this did not detract from the excellence of the whole. Thank you to the whole team for this memorable experience!

Very nice discovery! Everything was delicious 😋 the service is great and attentive. I recommend the pizza antipasto and the crumble panna cotta. We got it for 117chf with shared starter for two, two main courses, a drink, a glass of wine and two desserts.

Original Italian cuisine, it's a change from other Italians where we always eat the same thing! Refined, elegant and good!!

Noisy terrace. Good dish of the day.

Always impeccable food and service! We are really in Italy. Best regards and see you soon.

Very good Italian bistronomic restaurant in a beautiful room. A beautiful menu with interesting food options. The cuisine is more elaborate than a traditional Italian restaurant, but it was very good, with good products. Recommended for a special occasion.

Good but expensive, compared to quantity

I would have given it 4.5 if I could. I went to this restaurant twice and only 1 dish disappointed me, otherwise everything else was very good! Special mention for the egg starter! Crazy!

Very good meal, attentive service. What a pleasure for the palate. Playlist jokes. Ps: I see comments super satisfied with their experience by giving 4 stars. Personally, we therefore recommend max stars.

We had a great time! Truly authentic! The dishes were delicious and very fine, the wine list well-stocked. The service was very careful. Considering everything I have just said and what's more, we are in Lausanne, the prices are absolutely correct! Excellent Q/P ratio! Well done!

An excellent Italian restaurant with good quality products

Amazing little spot with lovely waiters from Italy and great authentic Italian food in a modern presentation.

Good service! Friendly nice wine 🍷

Like being in the heart of an Italian restaurant. Amazing food. Superb hosts. Excellent experience.

Best Italian restaurant in Lausanne.

First try and especially last... At all levels, welcome in mind (from the customer that is!)

True Italian food made by true Italian souls

Everything was perfect ! The very friendly service, the quality of the meal, the wine... It was a great discovery!

Very pleasant evening in this somewhat chic restaurant! Friendly service. Fondant Parmigiana di melanzane and sea bass on a bed of vegetables cooked just right. My friends’ desserts were “ottimi”, I will come back to taste them, that’s for sure.

We went there very often with pleasure. Heartwarming welcome. However, the quality tends to drop a little, as does the service. We're going to take a "break" and come back in a few months, just to let the water flow under the bridge.

Good Italian restaurant with really high food quality. Everything is great there! The waiter has a good Italian humour and has good recommendations. The recommended wine was really good. Can be a little on the pricey side but worth it.

Just perfect 🤩, impeccable service 👌, Florin received us well and gave us very good advice. The place is very charming, we recommend it.

Italian restaurant with homemade dishes, small menu, but fresh ingredients

Good food Nice welcoming staff Price is fair And the mood is cool with a little corner inside for the kids to play

Exceptional place. We celebrated our civil wedding there, and everything was great. The welcome, the service, the atmosphere, the staff, and the food an explosion of flavors in the mouth. An Italian restaurant that respects my country (Italy). Everything is fresh, and their oil is simply sublime. I highly recommend this place.

It was the best pizza in Rennes until this summer, when the pizza dough recipe changed (the topping is still ok, phew). Since then I haven't bought any more, because I'm disappointed with what I've experienced. The restaurant is very good too. And the staff is very friendly. I would love for the chef to make us the pizzas from before!!!

Just perfect! Delicious meal, exquisite dishes, warm atmosphere, professional and friendly welcome and service!

Very very good. Refreshing to see such a professional, calm restaurant with quality food, which combines tradition and modernity with taste. And this for a reasonable price. I recommend it with no hesitation.

Very fresh and good ingredients. Nice staff and pleasant atmosphere. A bit expensive.

Just top! I would say one of the best italian restaurants in switzerland!

Not classic Italian cuisine, but a delight for the eye and the palate. Simply fantastic!! I'd love to come back when I'm in Lausanne.

Incredible food with great service! Every dish was delicious along with the suggested wine. A passionate staff that is incredibly knowledgeable about food and wine. I can't wait to go back! I strongly recommend anyone looking for a hidden gem in Lausanne to go to Ulivo!

So I finally found a restaurant in Lausanne which has the true flavors of Italy. Thank you for this beautiful evening

Excellent address, passionate people

The best Italian restaurant in Lausanne💯

A big disappointment. In short, 1) friendly staff only with the expectation that you'll spend a lot and 2) way too expensive for what it is. In detail, I had booked to eat with a friend, but we misunderstood the date and I only realized it once we got there. As I had reserved, I decided to eat, alone, a little something quickly, just to honor my reservation (even though I would have returned home). The waiter's face closed when I told him I was going to have pasta just as an anitpasti and not as a main course. Let's talk about budget, in total, 61.- for a beer, an antipasto, a bottle of water, an open glass of red (delicious, the only positive point!) and a dessert. The pasta was ordinary, the dessert awful (ricotta cannelloni, felt like eating sawdust). But the 2 stars are because the original waiter and apparently head of the room, whom I had not seen since my order of the controversial antipasti, TURNED HIS HEAD OSTENSIBLY AS I LOOKED IN HIM'S EYES AND WAS GOODBYE (yes, no ambiguity on this point). So I occupy a table for only 20 minutes, spending 61.- and leaving 5.- of power (which I bitterly regret) and they refuse to say goodbye? We need to review these standards of hospitality I think...

Just the best restaurant in Lausanne for me! This is the third time I've been there, and each time it's even better! Food 10/10, super professional and attentive service, very pleasant decoration, no really everything is there! Well done

Delicious meal, impeccable service. Restaurant run by enthusiasts who definitely honor Italian cuisine. The prices are slightly high but can be fully explained by the quality and freshness of the products used. Everything is prepared with love and delicacy, and the presentation is very careful. In short, I will come back!

The best Italian restaurant in Lausanne. An exceptional welcome and gastronomy. Value for money more than correct. Kisses to Nico!

Excellent service, excellent cuisine, room to improve (false ceiling), menu to be integrated with at least 2 dishes of each type. High price, but Lausanne is expensive and the place is prestigious. Overall rating 8

nice and cozy restaurant. Helpful and nice staff. Food is fresh and above average. Seasonal menu available also. Slightly on the more expensive side but worth the extra regardless.

Amazing food and very welcoming service!

Very good cuisine, refined dishes, fresh products, friendly staff, excellent address!

Magnificent decoration that reflects the cuisine well! Big up to Giovanni and Nicolas

This restaurant is a bit hidden, but definitely worth discovering. I ate there as a dish of the day, fresh pasta, homemade, just accompanied by a sauce and thinly sliced ​​truffle, grated on the plate, at the table, generously in fact. What a treat ! Tasty Italian cuisine to try as soon as possible!

An Italian restaurant worthy of the name with fresh, quality products cooked with love. We find the flavors of the country without being stereotyped. Menu which pleasantly explores typical dishes and offers other lesser-known dishes. I like when Italian cuisine moves away from Trattoria and Pizzeria.

Fairly high prices but it's good.

Just excellent!!! Homemade Italian dishes, authentic taste, very friendly service, with great care. The products are fresh, including the truffle. We really fell in love with the soft-boiled egg and mushroom fricasse with 5 different varieties, accompanied by truffle. One of the best dishes I have eaten at a restaurant. One of the best restaurants in Lausanne. Thank you for this party! You will not be disappointed!!!

Too expensive for the quality provided

After literally being thrown out of the Lausanne Moudon where despite waiting for 1 hour 45 minutes we were not served (see my comment on the forum of this brasserie) we came across this Italian restaurant by chance! It was divine! Ultra fast and professional service, succulent meal, ultra reasonable price for Lausanne! In short, a huge congratulations to all the servers who were very attentive to our misfortune and who brought comfort to our hearts!!! Always stay the same, bravissimiiii!

magnificent restaurant, incredible staff!! a kindness that almost doesn't exist these days, and divine food... thank you very much

This is the second time I have come to Ulivo. The first experience was not conclusive. The second is in lineage. With a shared starter and a plate of pasta I'm starving. The charcuterie starter consisted of less than 10 slices of meat for chf 22.5 and the pasta dish ...6 ravioli for chf 28.50. The icing on the cake, no one checked our health history.

Great discovery of a very chic establishment! Refined food, charming staff, very attentive (especially for a case of food intolerance in the group) and qualified. Experience to be repeated as soon as possible!

Very pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and friendly service. We eat our fill and it's very good! I highly recommend it. 👌👏

delicious only disadvantages go there with a full stomach or plan to eat 2 starters 2 courses and a dessert..... and the price is worth the quality of the products service etct but not the quantity which is a shame

A nugget! A great discovery. Everything was delicious! Only good, well-prepared products. I will return with pleasure

Simply the best Italian restaurant in Lausanne. Great food, great service and a very good wine menu.

A rare gem nestled in a very quiet little alley, which offers a menu with authentic flavors.

If you want a REAL Italian restaurant, go for it! The place is unfortunately not well enough located for its quality! All dishes were very tasty and authentic. And the service is very friendly too! So thank you ⭐🇮🇹

Superbe accueil ! Les plats sont très bons et très savoureux, coup de cœur pour le carpaccio d’espadon en entrée ! + super accueil

Come sempre una garanzia. Ottima qualità dei piatti e servizio impeccabile, ritornare è un piacere. À bientôt ;)

Nice dinner in a slightly cold night. When dinning outside is the only option, we were warmed up by the good food and staff friendliness. Merluzzo, veal meat, mixed salad, timamisu and nice Italian wine.

Habe das Restaurant mit meiner Freundin besucht. Der Empfang war freundlich, genauso wie die Bedienung und das Essen stand erfreulich schnell auf dem Tisch. Dieses hat uns auch sehr gut geschmeckt - Vorspeise wie auch Hauptgang. Die Portionengrösse war dann aber derart winzig und der doch recht hohe Preis des Essens konnten durch den guten Geschmack nicht gerechtfertigt werden.

Parfait !Quel bel endroit pour pouvoir enfin profiter d’une belle terrasse avec peu de bruit et surtout avec les conditions sanitaires requises (avril 2021). Repas absolument délicieux, on voyage sans traverser les frontières !Merci à l’équipe de l’Ulivo !

Tiramisù fortemente consigliato!

Pratos fartos, bem pensados, executados à beira da perfeição, deliciosos. Quero voltar lá quando a pandemia passar. Deveria estar no guia Michelin!

Très belle découverte !! Un plaisir pour les yeux et les papilles!! Du début à la fin un sans fautes 👌!

J'ai adoré le service et la cuisine! Personnelle Très accueillant.

Service soigné, accueil sympathique et très bonne qualité des propositions. Une jolie découverte

It took a (very) long time to complete construction work of the Ambassador hotel. But all I can say is that it was well worth waiting for the place to open – and to reveal the hotel’s exclusive ULIVO restaurant on the ground floor. It has become our favorite place to wine and dine in Nyon, especially during the summer season when you can quietly eat in the peaceful atmosphere of the private terrace – away from the town’s hustle and bustle. This is creative Italian cuisine at its best. Traditional cooking, rich flavors and friendly service.

Excellent repas, une qualité irréprochable , un carte raisonnablement étoffée. Un bémol cependant pour le service que nous avons trouvé un peu long et manquant d'attention.

Un vrai régal. Des crevettes marinées et des pâtes excellentes. Une adresse sûre.

Accueil , nourriture, cadre top ! J’ai passé un agréable moment en mangeant les délicieuses antipasti et le risotto aux truffes avec une générosité de truffes râpées devant vous. Je recommande vivement!

Tutto e benissimo!!!! Vraiment très bon, le service est excellent !! Restaurant à faire!!!!! Grazie mille!!!!

Un accueil incroyable, la première fois que je rentre dans un restaurant italien et c'était vraiment bon ! Étant seul, je n'ai pas pu goûter tous les vins mais les deux bouteilles d'Amarone que j'ai pu testé étaient délicieuses ! Un régal ! La nourriture était vraiment bonne !

Es gab eine kleine Karte mit aussergewöhnlichen Speisen. Doch jeder findet etwas egal ob vegetarisch, fleisch oder fisch. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und war auch gewillt die ganze Karte zu übersetzen und zu erklären. Die Preise sind eher im oberen Segment aber ok. Das Ambiente ist auch in Ordnung obwohl das Restaurant eher abgelegen ist. Sehr empfehlenswert!
