About

Il Bazzali presents a focused menu centered on the technical preparation of authentic Italian pasta dishes and hand-stretched pizzas. The kitchen prioritizes traditional techniques to create firm, perfectly textured doughs alongside rich, slow-simmered sauces. Every plate emphasizes the structural balance between artisanal flour, imported cheeses, and fresh aromatic herbs. The physical space features an open layout that prioritizes communal interaction while maintaining a standard level of functional comfort. Patrons encounter a direct focus on core regional flavor profiles that avoid unnecessary culinary fusion or contemporary over-complication. This establishment maintains a straightforward operational philosophy, ensuring that the consistency of basic ingredients remains the primary driver of each served item. The environment supports a focus on ingredient quality through a simplified, utilitarian approach to the classic Mediterranean culinary framework used for every preparation.

Went there for my birthday & was happy to have an Italian singer with a beautiful voice. The dish carefully made with fresh pasta. The whole vibe was pure Italia.

Merci pour cette magnifique soirée, nous reviendrons sans hésiter !

C'était lors d'une soirée Pasta Opéra. Entre les services, le chef accompagné de deux autres dont l'un d'eux au clavier chantent. Repas 4 services & beau choix de menu qui était excellent lors de cette soirée. Soirée originale & très agréable. Je recommande.

Right from the start it was a wonderful experience. The service is warm. The selection from the menu is great. The taste & quality was outstanding. Everything from the pasta to the beef was excellent. The chef/owner, Davide, came out to see us. I have never had that happen before. He then proceeded to sing to everyone in the restaurant. What a voice! This is definitely a restaurant you need to go to!

Wenn ich den Bewertungen Glauben schenken kann, ist das Restaurant ein guter Platz um Pasta zu essen. Für Pizzas absolut keine Empfehlung unsererseits. Da haben wir schon wesentlich bessere gegessen und das günstiger.

Scrumdelicious pastas. Nice service, prompt to refill our water & wine glasses. I'm not a fan of surprise signing & there is less chance during August as the chef is quite busy that plays in our favour.
Tartare to start, 2 plates of pasta, a tiramisu & 2 glasses of wine each totals to 160 +taxes & tip. Not bad.

The outdoor area was nice to enjoy a meal outside. The service was ok. However, my rating isn't based on this. We got pasta & pizza to share. The crust felt soggy. The pasta was better but for 30$+ a plate the protein was lacking. For me, the food was subpar for the price.

Food was top notch, ambiance was great.
They had great vegan options which is a requisite for us. Varied & original too! We had the vegan bolognese pizza & pastas, both were great!
The chef is also a tenor & he sang that night with his band. That was unexpected but they were good!
