Puccini — Restaurant in Belp

We were welcomed by an Italian-speaking waiter, and we chose to sit outside. Since the restaurant was full, we expected slow service. However, to our surprise, the service was incredibly fast. Even though our server couldn't speak English fluently, he was remarkably helpful, and we managed to communicate using a mix of our limited Italian and his basic French.

The menu offered a wide range of delicious Italian options, but our main goal was to try their pizza. We ordered the quattro formaggi and pepperoni pizzas. Unfortunately, the pizza didn't meet our expectations. The four cheeses in the quattro formaggi didn't appear to be of high quality. It seemed like one of the cheeses was from an industrial source, possibly burratina. The pepperoni pizza was also just average in taste.

However, the dessert, Tiramisu, turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It was exceptionally good and seemed homemade. It had a distinct and robust alcohol flavor, which I personally enjoyed.

In summary, despite the fast and helpful service, the pizza, particularly the quattro formaggi, fell short of our expectations. On a positive note, the Tiramisu was a delightful ending...

A large menu with many Italian dishes to choose from, perhaps too many?

It's a nice cozy restaurant almost adjacent to the Belp train station. Well lit, great ambience, a bit on the large side without feeling like so. Unlikely you would have a wait with the amount of tables.

It's definitely Italian fare, but I wish they would focus on a smaller menu rather than a huge selection, it almost seems as quantity over well thought out plates. We had a bruschetta for an appetizer, wished it was crunchier but the the veggies were fresh and aromatic.

For main course we each ordered a pizza, the small can definitely be good for two people (specially if you are a light eater like me), found that while it looked great it wasn't exceptional. If you told me it was from a large chain I likely wouldn't be able to tell... The sauce was a bit blend, the cheese proportion slightly off and the crust felt dry, not like a freshly made chewy dough.

They also have a HUGE bar, but not many beers to choose from, on draft there were 2 options only, and a handful more bottled.

The staff is attentive, polite and for the most part speedy. I would recommend if...

I was looking for some restaurant for Pizza and Pasta for my family. L'osteria was definitiely a known name, buit we wanted to try some new place and Puccini was chosen. The ambience of Puccini was amazing and fgrom the first glance, we thought it will be an really expensive restaurant. When we saw the menu, to our surprise, the rates were reasonable considering it was in the Swiss. Since we had planned to take-away our dishes, the food bill be made me more delighted when I saw the reduced cost. I checked with the staff if there was any mistake, but was not. The take-aways were priced slightly lower, without any difference in taste. The food was delicious and the portion was very generous.. We didn't have such a nice Carbonara pasta in long time. Al Arabiata was amazing too. And so were the Pizzas. The staff was super friendly. There were ample space inside as well as outside to sit. It also had some private parking spaces for it's customers. I would highly recomend...
