1/2 price pizza Monday! An excellent deal. Our group had various pizzas, none of which disappointed. Very nice wood-fired oven inside. We sat outside in a courtyard with patio umbrellas and music, with the train station in view (alittle noise when a train passes, but they go by quick), a statue with a water element; made for a really nice experience. Host and waiter very kind and accommodating.

I found this place about a month ago, even though I lived in Geneva for two years and somehow missed it. I found the food EXCELLENT. I've since visited four more times and every time enjoyed it, especially the outdoor patio. It has a great ambiance for date night or work lunches. The menu has a ton to offer. The pizza is probably the best on the menu, but I love the pasta dishes, even stuffed pasta, and the apps like calamari and fried goat cheese are my favorites. The Caprese...
