Casa Lulia Nyon ; Southern Italian Osteria by the Lake

The Casa Lulia osteria in Nyon celebrates the flavours of southern Italy, from Apulia to Sicily, by way of Calabria and Naples.

Casa Lulia Nyon ; An Osteria by Lake Geneva

On Place de Savoie, a stone’s throw from the lake, a modern osteria celebrates the cuisine of southern Italy. The restaurant belongs to the Gourmet Brothers group, also behind Tout Chocolat (in French).

Southern Italy in the Spotlight

The osteria’s plates combine Italy’s treasures with local produce. Culatello from Parma, tomatoes from the Marché Cuendet and creamy burratina embody this tasty alliance. Courgette flowers and a crispy fritto misto complete a generous and authentic menu. Designed for sharing, the pizzettes recall the Italian soul. The inspiration comes from the south of the peninsula, from Apulia to Sicily, by way of Naples.

An Elegant Setting Facing the Lake

Set in an annex of the hotel La Maison du Lac, the restaurant offers an elegant and warm setting. Its terrace overlooks Lake Geneva and invites a gourmet break. The place suits a meal with friends as well as a coffee facing the lake. Tradition and modernity meet here, in a friendly and refined atmosphere.

Casa Lulia Nyon ; The Flavours of Italy

Chef Rosario Abramo revisits the classics of Calabria, Naples and Apulia. His cuisine highlights carefully selected produce.

A Menu Inspired by the Mezzogiorno

The place focuses on authentic Italian cuisine, inspired by the recipes and produce of the Mezzogiorno. The menu brings together artisanal pizzettes, fresh pasta and Lake Geneva perch with Mediterranean sauces. Signature dishes include a crudo of amberjack with candied lemon and spaghetto all’astice in lobster jus. The paccheri al ragù, with hand-cut beef, gain in flavour. Served in Apulian porcelain, the traditional tiramisu gently ends the meal.

A Cellar with 300 Wines

For drinks, sommelier Domenico Quatela offers a wine list of 300 references. The bottles travel between Switzerland, Italy and France. A few cocktails complete the offer, but wine remains the main asset. Conviviality and exceptional produce thus meet facing Lake Geneva.

An Italian Dinner at Casa Lulia Nyon

The Gourmet Brothers group’s addresses always keep their promises. This dinner confirms that consistency, between quality produce and well-mastered recipes.

A Tasting Between Land and Sea

The pizzetta with Culatello di Zibello DOP and stracciatella elegantly opens the meal. Squid and baby octopus, served with herb mayonnaise, extend the tasting. The focaccia with smoked anchovies and confit tomatoes is a real favourite. Perfectly cooked, the lobster spaghetti confirms the kitchen’s know-how. Generous but a little too soaked, the homemade tiramisù gently concludes the menu. Casa Lulia has become a must-visit Italian address in Nyon. Lovers of Italian cuisine also enjoy these Italian addresses in Lausanne (in French). In the Broye, the pizzeria La Roma (in French) in Payerne also delights pizza lovers.
