Pasta d’Oro

Les pizzas sont gigantesques et délicieuses! Du jamais vu pour ma part (une pizza pour deux personnes est suffisant pour les petites faims).

Pizzas are HUGE! Probably the biggest pizzas I’ve ever seen! Be aware that the pizzas for take away are normal size, that means that they are smaller than the ones eating at the restaurant. The pizzas and pasta are also very tasty and service is really good. It’s a very casual place and not fancy at all, but a family type of restaurant. You can definitely impress people who are hungry or with a big appetite!

Four people shared two pizzas, and were unable to finish. My dining-​mate, who embraces cheese and salt as her favorite foods, felt sick the next day from over-​consumption of cheese. So yes, the pizzas are huge, and very cheesy.
Should we have ordered less? Perhaps. But apparently even ordering two pizzas between four people was against store policy, and we were forced to add a green salad (this was in addition to the two ¾ bottles of wine and the dessert we ordered).
That being said, the pizza was very good. The dough was nice and thin, and the ingredients were very fresh. The pizzas were baked in a stone oven behind the counter, giving off a nice smokey flavor. They substitute toppings, so don’t be afraid to ask! I’m usually a fan of chorizo or sausage on my pizza, but their main meat topping was ham, so we went vegetarian.
Our waiter was very attentive and quite flirtatious, something you don’t see often where the tip is usually nominal or included in the check. Too bad he was flirting with the married one in the group.

Great ambiance, good value and hefty portions! Does take-​away as well!

I just recently got around to eating here, after walking by often and noticing that it’s always packed. So I guess it wasn’t much of a surprise to find that the food is quite good here. The prices are average for an Italian restaurant in Geneva — around CHF 20 for a pizza or pasta. The difference being, the portions are absolutely gigantic. If you’re not very, very hungry, there’s no way to finish a pizza by yourself. It should also be noted that the service is decent and the staff are friendly. They accept reservations, so it would be wise to make one before going, unless you want to queue.
