We were desperately looking for a place to eat and stumbled upon this place and it was the best idea to enter this cafe! They have a super chill dog that walks up to every table and checks up on you. Super friendly. We arrived right at happy hour so we got a couple quarter wine pitchers. We then ordered the tapas and wow. So good. The potatoes were probably my favorite. I think the combo of wine + the tapas were a good idea

From the minute we walked in we were welcomed warmly and were happily surprised the bartender/hostess was willing to work with us on our poor French with her superb English. The ambiance is cozy with couches, locals, good music and a friendly dog to boot. We came late summer and with the windows open a refreshing breeze and the constant flow of foot traffic made for great people watching. The food was flavorful and everything we ordered was delicious. I wish we had discovered this spot sooner I highly recommend anyone in the area come check this place out at least for a drink you will not be disappointed, particularly if it's past 10 and your stomach is growling!

As usual, their pizza is quite delicious, and it's the pizza with a French twist, meaning they use crème fraîche and toppings that are a bit more French than Italian. I haven't been disappointed with their pizza at all. As for cocktails, the list is short but the drinks are strong and unpretentious with very reasonable prices, 9€ for each. Deco is simple but with taste and they know how to play with the lighting so it makes the place feel warm and cosy. The only minus point is the place can be quite loud towards late night (9pm onwards). I will be back, but might opt for outside seatings if I want to have conversations with friends.

It is small, intimate, and walking in for the first time gives you the sense that you know the place. This is soon followed by feeling like you made a good choice if you travel to find local color and flavor. I had a beer on my first visit on a Friday night. Perhaps it was more than one. Each order was recorded in a ledger at the end of the bar. On my second visit on the following Sunday, i had the charcuterie and red wine. My two meats and two cheeses -- I asked the bartender to pick -- were delicious and almost more than I could eat. I sat in a worn-out high backed chair and listened to American jazz from the trio behind me. They stopped playing too soon for my taste and the small place, crowded, thinned out quickly. Apparently the real Parisians had a new week ahead for which to prepare. This faux Paeisian was happy to linger and will be happy to return.

We settled on Ober Mamma, which had wonderful reviews. We got there, there was a line and it was raining. the chances of having a sit-down meal at this packed place were grilled, until they gave us the opportunity to sit outside. We immediately jumped not he opportunity, and immediately ordered. Franchesco came out with his wide happy smile and took our order. He a delight to have wait on us. We ordered the mortadella with pieces of parmigiano, a Smoking Hot pizza, and La Fameus Pate a la Truffe. We also ordered a nice bottle of wine from Sicily, Franchesco's homeland. The pizza and the pasta came out first, and we started eating right away. The pizza had the right amount of heat, and the pasta was not overwhelmed with truffles. Then came the mortadella which was delicious. We would have preferred the mortadella first, but we happy ate it. Inside, the place is huge, and loud. The ambiance is modern and feels upscale. As with all places in Europe, the temperature inside was hot- so we were actually happy to be sitting outside. Luckily we were not getting wet under the awning, but it was cold. Luckily, this place also provides blankets for your legs which we happily used. At the end of our meal, Franchesco brought us some Lomoncello and hung out with us telling us about Italy & France. We had an amazing evening, great food, and even better company. Give this place a try. You will not be sorry.

Open kitchen concept where you can see the chefs happily cooking or cooking all stressed out lol. Our server was Izaya very friendly, well spoken and caring. He ensured our allergies were taken care of. He was fast with his service and continuously checked up on us to ensure we had everything we needed. Now food, mama Margherita pizza was freshly made so you have to really wait it out before taking a bite to ensure you don't burn your mouth. Pizza was evenly baked and crust was even yummy. Mozzarella cheese bites were the winner of the evening. So good the crumbs that covered the cheese were just wow. So tasty we ordered 3 servings of it. We ordered a small salad which was a generous portion for all of us. Good variety of wine list and very reasonably priced. Tiramisu was one of the dessert options and every bite met all our expectations. Overall great experience here they do squeeze a lot of people in there so you could be elbowing your neighbor on another table.

Warm welcomed by the two waiters (I suppose as well owners and brothers) and we got a nice table by the window. We decided to have brunch there, which is served not in buffet from but it will be brought to your table in a mixed plate. It contains scrambled eggs with your choice of bacon, chicken or salmon, grilled vegetable, salad, fruit salad, fresh plain yoghurt, row ham, hard cheese, goat cheese, pan cake, mini chocolate cake, madeleine, basket of fresh baguette, butter and homemade jam accompanied by a hot drink and a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. All the products offered were really tasteful and of high quality. Everything seems to be homemade and with love. A nice surprise was the mini chocolate cake: still warm and with a soft chocolate cream inside. The homemade jam was delicious and with a lot of fruit pieces inside. Service friendly and attentive. The only critical point the size of the table: a little bit too small to contain all the food and drinks brought. Overall a really great experience. I deeply recommend to try.
