Francesco and Nicole Limardo look forward to introducing you to the culinary specialties of southern Italy.

Known to neighborhood regulars as Café des Amis, this friendly restaurant has been transformed over the last few years into Ristorante Amici. The warm welcome is still there, but quality Italian cuisine has replaced the traditional brasserie dishes of yesteryear.

After a career in Lausanne's top Italian restaurants (L'Accademia, Le Saint-Paul), owner Francesco Limardo opened his own family-run business. The 40-seat dining room is always full, and reservations are highly recommended. The menu changes every two months or so, but the beef and fish carpaccios, fresh pasta and generous desserts are still a must. As in Calabria, citrus fruits are often present, to refresh savory dishes and add acidity to end-of-meal sweets.

Head chef: Carlo Caredda
