Sapaudia Pizzeria — Restaurant in Annecy

We visited this restaurant last year & everything was excellent. Returned tonight but not good. We ordered Garlic Pizza to start. Spaghetti Carbonara & Spaghetti Bolognese to follow. The pizza came quickly & was good. The pasta arrived & it was literally two bowls of overcooked, stodgy pasta, with chopped bacon thrown on top of one & dry tasteless mince on the other. After mixing it ourselves we added Parmesan & pepper but still it was tasteless & stuck together like glue. The food was taken away hardly eaten & we told the waiter it was very poor. No response. No response from anyone. We asked for the bill & went to pay at the till. No apologies & the full amount was charged. We paid as we didn't want a scene, the staff did not care....

We had a lovely lunch here on our recent visit to Annecy. Walking around the old town there is much on offer with varied prices.

Sapaudia was perfect for what we needed. Well prices and a wide range on offer: pizza, main Italian dishes, salads and a small child’s section.

We didn’t have a dessert but there was much on offer.

The good we had was prompt, great portion size and well priced.

We sat outside in the street. Whilst you eat other tourists pass by, but it didn’t feel like the crowd were encroaching on your dinner.

I would recommend for a quick lunch, but would also be completely fine...

Overall impression: Unfortunately, the experience at Sapaudia restaurant didn’t live up to our expectations. With the exception of its location in the Old town, I have no positive points to raise. A little bit more attention on the quality of the service would undoubtedly be appreciated by the clientele. Usual italian cooking without any feat …

The food was generally ok, but the service wasn’t up to scratch. We waited forever for the desert menu before we knew they’d closed the kitchen. It’s pity that this sort of thing degrades the overall appreciation...
