Restaurant Il Mirtillo — Restaurant in Veyrier

The food is good but not amazing (in my opinion, not worth the prices), you can get food that is just as good in other restaurants in Geneva for two third of the price. The wine they suggested to us was very good and surprisingly not expensive (compared to the rest of the menu). The waiters were nice and attentive, but I was a little bit disappointed because they called me earlier that day to confirm the reservation and I asked them to put a candle on my mother’s dessert (I informed them that it was her birthday). They confirmed enthusiastically, but then they simply forgot about it when they brought us the desserts. Mistakes happen… but for the prices they charge, it’s a bit hard to swallow such forgetfulness… when I saw the cars in the parking lot (combined with the prices on the menu), it felt like the kind of place that charges a premium to cater to those who enjoy the status that comes with it (nothing wrong with that, just be aware of it)… Bottom line: it’s a good (but not amazing) option for really special occasions, but be prepared to spend at the very least 150...

We reached the place on Friday night 8pm.. We had a reservation. It took 20 mins for a waiter to assist us despite us asking multiple times.. We had to be at another place at 10pm and it was a 15 mins drive from the restaurant.. We had ordered our food at 8:20 and they had brought us our food at 9:40 and we just ordered 1 plate of Spaghetti Bolognese not per person just 1..Seeing how long it took once the food came we left.. the guy who took our order gave an impatient impression.. there was no wine menu offered we had to ask.. Took 15 mins just to get us a glass of red wine.. and 15 mins to get us water for the table..the staff weren’t strained that well the food was mid.. and they weren’t short staffed whatsoever they had 5 waiters standing in the back doing nothing and only a few not well trained guys were working.. A horrible experience.. The worst I ever had in a restaurant in my life.. Do not go there for dinners it is too crowded.. especially on weekends!!!...

Due to a biztrip we had a great dinner with more than 20 persons.

Service was always there and friendly and super pro activ - I never touched any bottle, wine and water was always refiled.

We startet with some cross bread and grilled mushroms which was increadible. Also they served some fresh homemade foccacia - amazingly good- and some very thin cross bread - which i learned is typcial Italian. Some Hot patatosticks filled with Mozzarella very also quite tasty.

For main you could chose, i orderd 2 ways of Risotto ( whitewine mushroms and redwine charlottes) and a medium ribeye.

Steak was grilled perfectly and the Risotto was rich of flavor...
