nice little italian. Both pizzas and pasta are good, lunch tends to be crowded so probably a good idea to reserve

We had a special event to celebrate - our 50th wedding anniversary! - and decided on one of our favorite restaurants. They handled a party of 14 with elegance, professionalism and great care, with wonderful food and good wines. Thank you, friends, for a very...special evening.More

Arrived for a late lunch and told that we could have “pizza, lasagne ou salade”....which was ok given the time. This is neighborhood style dining - tables crammed in tight and old style decor. All the food was good - lasagne was rich and unctuous...with cheese. Pizzas very good. Nice Barolo to wash it down. CHF190 for 4 (wine was 85 of that)...More

Il Forno a Legna is the typical place to go to in the neighbourhood. It is not the "hot place in town" but it is the place where people living in the area are thrilled to go to. The neighbourhood best kept secret. It has...that flavour of ( and smell of) unpretentious family-run pizzeria that is genuinely good and comforting. I grew up surrounded by places like this one. The food is excellent, pastas and pizzas alike. The desserts are great. Try the Bufalina pizza ... The owner will always greet you with a smile and a joke. The decor is once again that of the typical pizzeria down in the street back home, a bit retro but rightly so. You can book and take pizzas away. If you eat there, the service is good although tables are very close one to the other. Supposedly it has a garden, despite having been there many times, I have never seen it.More

We went this past week to this authentic italian restaurant on a business lunch. The menu offer was comprehensive with Pugliese owner Antonio and wife. I had the special focaccia with rugula, sliced octopus and cherry tomatoes, accompannied by a soecial olive oil. The service...was kind and prompt. It is recommended to make reservations. We were reserved a very nice window table where we were able to eat and discuss our projects.More

We had a lousy experience in this restaurant. After being seated near the restaurant's entrance, we waited about 10 minutes to get the menu and another 15 just to order. Once the food arrived, we had a nice time, until my friend started coughing and...choking. we asked for some more water and the check. Meanwhile, the table next to us ordered and got another drink and we are ignored as my friend continues coughing. We had to wait a whole 10 minutes just for some water. disgraceful.More

We had lunch today with a business colleague visiting from Canada. We made a reservation and our table was ready. The staff and owners are very welcoming and friendly. We had not been in Forno de Legna for over a year and today our visit...made our day! We were very pleased with the friendly courteous service that has made this restaurant so popular among our friends and colleagues in the international organizations. The lunch time is busy, as the food is awesome and the menu of the day really worth it! We are looking forward to the orecchiette cime di rapa, a typical pasta from Puglia, Italy, where Antonio Salcuni the chef/owner is a native from. Today we tried carpaccio de manzo (beef) (amazing!!!) and penne carbonara (out of this world!!). The place was packed but the service was fast and friendly. We look forward to becoming regulars again!!! Always excellent wine options and suggestions!More

This place has good food, very good for what are Geneva standards, so I would give a four on the benchmark scale. It's a bit on the pricey side, but we have always eaten good pasta dishes and pizza here. Some staff member however would...benefit from training on good manners as you feel like not much welcome in the restaurant since the moment you enter. And that leaves you with a kind of bad taste in your mouth once you walk out, even after having ha a satisfying meal.More

The location is convenient even if you are taking public transport (Tram 14 & 18). The restaurant is situated in between two tram stations (Servette and Poterie). The restaurant is crowded even on weekdays. I recommend that you make a reservation before you decide to...come down for a meal. The service staff is very friendly and kept an informal and friendly atmosphere. The food is great, their pasta is wonderful and their pizza is very good. They have a wood fire oven for their pizza. I saw a lot of people buying pizza for take away.More

I live in Servette but only tried this place tonight with a friend. We didn't have a reservation and we almost didn't get a place as it was packed (around 8:30pm). Luckily we did! We ordered the saumon tartare and a salad for appetizers -...really tasty. And because the place was packed, my pizza took a while so its a good thing we had the appetizer. Pizza Bella Italia was amazing. The Pasta Arribiata was also good but a bit too spicy for my taste. Staff were friendly and accommodating too which made the experience nicer. Will definitely come back!More

This is a personal favourite and an obligatory stop if passing by during lunch or dinner hours. I have only ever had there speciality dish of seafood pasta served in a clay bowl covered with a pizza bread base that has cooked in the wood...fired pizza oven. Can't get enough of it!!More

We eat here often, and have never been disappointed with either the food or the service. First class pasta and pizza, the quality of the meat is excellent as well. The selection of house wines is solid and tasty. Warmly recommended.
