Geneva City Guide – Luigia Academy

06/28/2021 By Claire 1 Comment

We were recently invited to discover Luigia’s newest trendy location. Let me tell you we spent a lovely evening our with delicious Italian food. It has been so long since we had our last dinner date!

The Place

Luigia Academy is a multifaceted place. We will mainly be presenting the restaurant’s offer thoroughly here. But we cannot wrap up this post without sharing more about the concept. If you live in Switzerland, you may already be familiar with Luigia. It is a beautiful Italian restaurant chain, present in various Swiss cities. Side note, they even opened one in Dubai recently!

This particular Luigia restaurant we visited is a bit different from the others. First, it is not situated in the city centre, but at The Hive tech centre in Meyrin, in a brand-new building surrounded by greenery. It is actually a new concept Luigi Guarnaccia (the founder of Luigia) launched there, because the Luigia Academy gathers the following:

  • a restaurant with its large terrace,
  • a grocery corner with only the best ingredients, imported from Italy,
  • a training facility for Luigia staff,
  • a centre offering cooking courses to individuals and companies,
  • -last but not least- a laboratory for culinary experimentation and research on the principles of circular economy.

Needless to say the premises were brand new. And as you can see, the place is decorated with taste, according to Luigia’s strong visual identity, with this beautiful red and numerous lightbulbs.

The Food

We had the pleasure to enjoy a tasting menu suggested by the manager, as follows:

Suppli Romano (Rice dumpling with tomato sauce, stuffed with fior di latte and fried)

Frittatine Napoletane (3 pieces of bucatini timbale with peas and ham, bechamelle sauce and fried)

***

Petalino Luigina (2 Small petals of pizza dough, fior di latte, scamorza, cooked ham, shiitake mushrooms, salsa tartufata, seasonal truffles in oil)

Melanzane alla Parmigiana (Fried eggplant, fior di latte, grana padano, tomato sauce, basil)

***

Z-Brest Fragola (Paris brest du chef with strawberries)

Tiramisù Classico

Luigia’s full menu is available here.

In a Nutshell

We were already familiar with Luigia and were first-hour fans of their delicious fluffy Neapolitan pizza. They have definitely been pioneers for Neapolitan pizza in Switzerland. And we are infinitely grateful to them for discovering it.

We were thrilled to be able to discover their new location, as well as try new dishes. The place was beautiful and the staff very friendly. Believe it or not, it was our first time tasting Parmigiana, which is such an iconic Italian dish. And it did not disapppoint!

What we love most about Italian cuisine is its authenticity and simplicity. Each recipe may not be extremely complicated with lots of technique. But each ingredient feels so carefully selected that the end result is always incredibly tasty and indulgent. That’s typically a cuisine made with tradition and love. And we sensed that in every dish at Luigia.

Luigia offers Italian cuisine with a modern twist, without compromising on quality and keeps traditions very much alive. Since the very opening of the Luigia restaurants in various cities, I feel like Luigia has always stayed the place to be for high quality Italian food in Switzerland.


Nous avons récemment été invités à découvrir le nouveau restaurant branché de Luigia. Laissez-moi vous dire que nous avons passé une superbe soirée autour de délicieux plats italiens. Cela faisait tellement longtemps que nous n’avions pas organisé de dîner en tête-à-tête au restaurant !

Le lieu

La Luigia Academy est un lieu aux multiples facettes. Nous présenterons ici principalement l’offre du restaurant de manière approfondie. Mais nous ne pouvons pas conclure cet article sans en dire plus sur le concept. Si vous vivez en Suisse, vous connaissez peut-être déjà Luigia, qui est une chaîne de beaux restaurants italiens, présents dans différentes villes de Suisse. Par ailleurs, ils ont même ouvert récemment un restaurant à Dubaï !

Le restaurant Luigia que nous avons visité est un peu différent des autres. Tout d’abord, il n’est pas situé au centre-ville, mais dans le nouveau hub technologique The Hive à Meyrin, dans un tout nouveau bâtiment entouré de verdure. Il s’agit en fait d’un nouveau concept que Luigi Guarnaccia (fondateur de Luigia) y a lancé, puisque la Luigia Academy regroupe

  • un restaurant avec sa grande terrasse ;
  • le coin épicerie avec seulement les meilleurs ingrédients, importés d’Italie ;
  • un centre de formation pour le personnel de Luigia ;
  • un centre offrant des cours de cuisine aux particuliers et aux entreprises ;
  • enfin, un laboratoire d’expérimentation culinaire et de recherche sur les principes de l’économie circulaire.

Inutile de préciser que les locaux étaient tout neufs. Et comme vous pouvez le constater, le lieu est décoré avec goût, en cohérence avec la forte identité visuelle de Luigia, avec ce beau rouge et de nombreuses ampoules.

Le repas

Nous avons eu le plaisir de goûter un menu dégustation proposé par le manager, comme suit :

Suppli Romano (Boulettes de riz à la sauce tomate, farcie de fior di latte et frite)

Frittatine Napoletane (3 pièces de timbale de bucatini avec petits pois et jambon, sauce béchamel et frits)

***

Petallino Luigia (2 Petits pétales de pâte à pizza, fior di latte, scamorza, jambon cuit, champignons shiitake, salsa tartufata, truffes de saison à l’huile)

Melanzane alla Parmigiana (Aubergines frites, fior di latte, Grana Padano, sauce tomate, basilic)

***

Z-Brest Fragola (Paris brest du chef avec chantilly et fraises)

Tiramisù Classico

La carte complète de Luigia peut être consultée ici.

En résumé

Nous connaissions déjà Luigia et sommes fans de la première heure de leur délicieuse pizza napolitaine moelleuse. Ils ont définitivement été les pionniers de la pizza napolitaine en Suisse et nous leur sommes infiniment reconnaissants pour cette découverte.

Nous avons été ravis de pouvoir découvrir leur nouveau restaurant, ainsi que de goûter de nouveaux plats. L’endroit était magnifique et le personnel très sympathique. Croyez-le ou non, c’était la première fois que nous goûtions une Parmigiana, qui est pourtant un plat italien si emblématique. Et quel bonheur !

Ce que nous aimons le plus dans la cuisine italienne, c’est l’authenticité et la simplicité. La préparation et les ingrédients de chaque recette ne sont peut-être pas extrêmement compliqués avec beaucoup de technique, mais chaque ingrédient semble si soigneusement sélectionné que le résultat final est toujours incroyablement savoureux et gourmand. C’est typiquement une cuisine qui est faite avec tradition et amour. Et c’est ce que nous avons ressenti dans chaque plat de chez Luigia.

Luigia propose une cuisine italienne avec une touche de modernité, sans compromis sur la qualité, et maintient les traditions bien vivantes. Depuis l’ouverture des restaurants Luigia dans diverses villes, j’ai l’impression que Luigia est toujours resté le lieu incontournable de la cuisine italienne de qualité en Suisse.
