With its Calabrian specialities that go from pasta to grilled meats to fish served whole, this Italian restaurant in the heart of the Cité neighbourhood in Lausanne will delight you. Very warm welcome! That little extra from the food insider "The Lausanne Guide": if you don’t know what to choose, ask Francesco for advice, he will be happy to guide you. Favourite dish: the sausage pasta
Long known by local regulars as the Café des Amis, this friendly restaurant has for some years now been renamed the Ristorante Amici. The warm welcome awaiting you is just the same, but the traditional brasserie food of the old days has been replaced by top-class Italian cuisine.After a career in the best Italian restaurants in Lausanne (Accademia, Saint-Paul), owner Francesco Limardo has now opened his own family restaurant. The dining room seating forty is always full and table reservations are strongly recommended. The menu changes approximately every two months, but there are always carpaccios of beef or fish, fresh pasta and generous desserts. Like in Calabria, citrus fruit is often in evidence, to refresh salty dishes and sharpen the sweetness at the end of the meal.
