This was the best meal I had on my trip. I loved my pistachio cocktail and my Caesar salad with pancetta. The dessert changed my life so much so that I attempted to recreate for my family. If I'm ever back in Paris, you will find me at Daroco. read more

Wonderful decor, good Italian food and service at a casual pace. A good selection of salads appetizers and wood fired pizzas with fresh ingredients. read more

Convenient location right across from the Biblioteque Nationale. (Stop in to see their gorgeous reading room!) Delicious pizzas, great crusts. Just what we needed on a cold, rainy November day. Lively, casual atmosphere. Our charming server was from Italy. read more

I chose the restaurant because it's located in the Gallerie Vivienne. The server broke a glass and the cacio e pepe was not made with linguine. I don't know what this was supposed to be but it was not cacio e pepe. It also listed linguine on the menu. This is not linguine. Furthermore, our server broke two glasses (one after the other). It was not a good sign. Mama mia! After the meal, I walked to the restroom and saw the bread station crew cutting loaves of bread without gloves. The kitchen is an open kitchen near the pathway by bathrooms. On my way back towards the table, I saw a line cook eating from the pizza prep area while preparing dough. I'm pretty sure this must happen in some restaurant's kitchens that are out of sight. But, since Darko cooking area is set up for customers to see all, these actions are noteworthy to share. Overall, this experience was interesting for sure. read more

This was one of my favorite dining experiences that I've ever had while traveling. We walked from the beautiful, lit-up Louvre to this neighborhood, looking for Daroco, which was recommended to us by a foodie friend who frequents Paris. We arrived (without a reservation) and walked into a magical space. They have a second level that dangles from the ceiling, beautiful lighting, and a thick velvet curtain that you pull aside to reveal it all. The host ushered us to the only empty table in the space and we noticed that everyone around us was speaking French. We started with a bruschetta appetizer that was insanely good, followed by two of the best pizzas we've ever had. The dough was handmade and absolutely incredible. We savored every single bite. I still think about that pizza and now tell everyone visiting Paris to stop in here. I just found out that they're also opening a location in London soon, which is exciting. Don't miss it and maybe go at night... it's so glowy when lit up! read more

Daroco - Italian Near Me - Paris, 75

This was the first place I went to in Paris and it definitely set my trip off to a good start! We had a reservation and were seated in the main dining area, which is gorgeous. We loved the mirrored ceiling and the bright atmosphere. We split a bottle of wine which was great, and had the focaccia, a pizza, and a pasta to share. The focaccia was not great, it was basically a garlic bread pizza (thin) and not nearly as fluffy and thick as I had hoped it'd be. The pizza and pasta were both great. The crust on the pizza was *chefs kiss* and the pasta was cooked and flavored perfectly. Our server was super friendly and attentive, and we had an amazing meal; highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Very pretty ambiance. Good service...very attentive. Food was okay...sardines were a little "fishy," the burrata was good but the tomatoes were not "candied" as stated, the rigatoni was good but not at en dente as I would have liked. The clam pasta was good and flavorful. read more

Location and Ambience was very nice. Place seemed upscale and classy. There was a line that formed and was there by the time they open. Get a reservation. Only open at 7PM. The Pasta with Rage was great, and the pizzas very enjoyable. Place is small and cozy feel. Chocolate Mousse was to die for. Make sure and get it. read more

Went here a few nights ago for dinner. The atmosphere was great, a good mix between casual and dressier. The staff was all so great! Our waiter was fine but very friendly. We started off with the beef carpaccio it was great moved on to the mixed vegetables and spicy salami pizza. We also had the squid ink pasta and rigatoni. All were so good especially the rigatoni. For dessert we tried the ice cream and chocolate mousse. The ice cream was homemade and delicious, you will be dine without the mousse. Very cool looking interior and location is very cute. read more

Didn't realize the bar and restaurant are two different names until after ordering our food- wasn't impressed with any of the food here. We ordered pizza, pasta, and mixed vegetables for the salad. Flavors just didn't go well together for us. After our meal we made a stop at the bar in the back- it was gorgeous and my friend really enjoyed her drinks. Only downfall was that it was stuffy and had no ventilation! Was a little tough to manage for a hot summer night. read more

I can't tell you enough to come here and enjoy this place. The food was amazing. The service was impeccable. The ambience was gorgeous and relaxing. This is for sure one of the reasons I'll be back to Paris!! I ordered the shrimp boccatini I think it was called and everyone was staring at my plate. I think the two people next to me ordered the same thing especially after I raved about it! And the tiramisu????!!!!! I wasn't even hungry anymore but had to try it and I ate every last bit. It melts in your mouth and every bite is like the first one lol. So good! Almost licked the plate, Hehe. And don't forget to try the bar in the back afterwords. read more

This is a very hip restaurant and the food is good. However, and this was the only time I experienced this dining in restaurants for almost every meal over the course of 8 days in France: when the waiter handed us the point of sale machine when paying, it gave us the tip option: 10%, 15%, etc. and a "no merci". Endless to say, with him standing there waiting for us, we felt obligated to tip but given that tips are not expected in France as they are in the US, it did make us feel as if we were asked because we are American. (And we were a party of three, so not a large party to manage.) If gratuity expectations in France have changed, please do comment - I'm not against tipping whatsoever (particularly in the US where it's critical to supplement staff wages) but based on immediate and past experiences in France, this was was very awkward. read more

I almost feel like I should not review this place as I only went for drinks. It was very hip, trendy and sexy. Drinks were so foo foo, like a million ingredients and completely overpriced, but delicious. We wanted to check it out never the less, but the food is not traditional French either, the menu looks more Italian to me, but the food coming out looked very good. read more

The ambiance was very cool, but the food was very disappointing. The middle of both mine and my boyfriend's pizza were underdone, forcing us to put all of our toppings on the crust. Eating it that way wasn't actually that bad--so I guess it was fine if you're flexible on your eating habits. Service was good. read more

This location opened up two weeks ago and was highly recommended by some local friends. The beer is cold and the pizza is awesome. We had the opportunity to sit on the second level overlooking the first floor and the entrance. Great people watching! It doesn't appear to be a tourist spot with all the locals stopping by for lunch. We did arrive around 11:5am and bet the crowds. It's definitely worth a try from one foodie to another. Enjoy! read more

This restaurant has a very dark exterior and you can easily miss it if you don't know what you're looking for. Everything was chicly decorated and we wondered if we were under dressed. They seated our group at the back of the first floor, near the kitchen. The privacy was nice yet we felt secluded from the other guests. Amongst us we shared one gnocchi, 5 pizzas and 2 desserts - hungry some? The pizzas were outstanding! The crusts were like fluffy bread. The chocolate mousse was amazing too. Overall, spot on meal read more

Was incredibly impressed. I had been craving pizza and I happened to stumble across this restaurant on a blog. We came on a Monday night at 9. It was very fashion week. Lots of very young, hip people with fur coats and YSL bags. Make sure you dress a little nicer. We both ordered a pizza. I got a margarita (11€) and my boyfriend got a prosciutto (17€) and we ended up getting four glasses of aglianico (6€/glass). The wine was really great and both of our pizzas were heaven! I have a hard time finding phenomenal pizza in Paris...but this is the best I think I've had, ever. The crust was slightly crisp and the mozzarella was in little balls instead of coating my entire pizza. All in all the total was 52€ which is a very good deal. The interior of this place is gorgeous, it reminded me of New York. Very tall ceiling with a mirror on top to add light. Velvet booths and curtains and two stories. Very different than the typical Parisian style. Really loved this place. Will definitely be back! read more

On vacation visiting from the states. We don't speak French. The waiters were friendly and even spoke English. They took good care of us and everything went smoothly. We shared a margarita pizza that was delicious. For desert I had chocolate mousse and my husband had the tiramisu. Both were delicious. I highly recommended this restaurant. read more

Visiting Paris from USA and a local took us here. Probably one of my favorite meals while here. Had The spicy rigatoni. Caesar salad, pizza margherita, bruschetta and burrata appetizer were all amazing. Would recommend to everyone!! read more

Tourists, beware. We were told to go to this restaurant based on the food and chic ambiance so we booked a table and were seated promptly. The original server who took our order provided us with an English speaking server which we took as a kind gesture. When our food came out they didn't take down my order correctly (this was not a language barrier issue with the original server as I pointed directly at what I wanted and told them, and because what they brought me is something I would never order). I was okay with the issue and waited for my meal. We were definitely pleased with the food, but not the SERVICE. Long story short, I left the table and my husband paid our bill. Our server pointed to the VAT Tax section (which shows 10%, 20%, etc.) and, not knowing, coerced him into leaving a 20% tip. I was, needless to say, outraged. We know this is the norm in America but are very aware that is not the norm in Paris at all. Everything happened so fast and we were so upset that a restaurant would take such advantage of a couple, regardless of where they come from, who spent over 100 euros on a dinner. Daroco, have some respect for your brand. read more

Unforgettable. The pizza and pasta were DIVINE!! One of our favorite meals in Paris. Delectable cocktails, thorough wine selection and authentic Italian cuisine. The ambiance was wonderful and the service was excellent. Definitely make a reservation. This place was packed. read more

Incredible Italian food in Paris. Super busy, even into the later hours of the evening, but exceptional service. Definitely make a reservation the night before or morning of. Highly recommend the prosciutto pizza and gnocchi entrees and tiramisu and gelato for dessert! read more

This was the only really unfortunate dining experience in our five days in Paris. The food (pizza) was overpriced for what it was, under-seasoned and soggy, and the servers were bored and unfriendly. We walked past it several times going to and from the hotel, and assumed good things given that it was usually busy. Apparently that says more about the lack of nearby options than the quality of the food here? Lessons learned. read more

Great modern Italian fresh restaurant. Recommended by a local guide and felt very local. The ambiance was very hip without trying to hard. Open and airy, good music and vibe. Friendly staff and mixed crowd of families singles and couples. We loved all our dishes. Check out the hidden lounge in the back. read more

New spot but great food. The price was decent for the food. Pizza and pastas are great. Try the Linguine au Beurre Citrone and Bottarga. Lemon sauce with salty dried fish roe. It was lemony with a little bit of saltyness. Different and very good. read more

I couldn't have been more pleased with my experience at Daroco. The people, the food and the atmosphere were best in class and although we were the only Americans in the restaurant we felt like locals. This is definitely a locals spot and I would highly recommend reservations. If you are looking for an upscale Italian restaurant without the high end price tag then this is it. The atmosphere was very lively and hip while the decor is sophisticated yet casual. We had a large group and ordered some Rosé, cocktails and a couple beers... all of which were fantastic and reasonably priced. Our original server was very nice and tried to help us with limited english but after having some trouble she passed us off to the manager who was a class act. I can't sing the praises of this restaurant enough and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting some great Italian cuisine OR if you want a fun happening spot to have some drinks/dinner. read more

went for a friends birthday. She speaks French fluently and my French is pretty much nonexistent beyond polite phrases (hello, goodbye, please, thank you, excuse me, where is the metro, etc.),but the waiter was really funny and kind and he spoke English pretty well! Now as far as the important things, the food was incredible! I do not know the names of what we ordered but one was a simple butter/citrus pasta with fish (incredible) and a pizza with eggplant caviar (to die for). All in all, this was a really cool space with amazing food! read more

Really nice pizza and pasta. We were looking for a light meal in Paris and this spot was recommended. Our service was excellent and the drinks were great. I had a linguini with clams and was very happy. Also the Parmesan with balsamic was delicious. Not to mention the hidden bar in the back! Light, casual, and fun atmosphere. read more

Truly disappointed with this restaurant. It appears to be a hip, trendy spot which we are familiar with coming from LA but doesn't have the goods to back it up. The highlights were the cocktails...period. Our server was by far the worst part, though the food was close behind. The server was more what you expect in a tourist trap. Only recommended the most expensive items and shockingly demanded a tip (which we're well aware isn't the norm). If the food made up for the terrible service all would be forgiven, but unfortunately it was greasy, overpriced, and flavorless. I won't be returning and can't recommend this to anyone. read more

Delicious food and nice ambiance, they took forever to come to the table to take my order but other than that great experience

Amazing authentic Italian food and wine. Great service and ambience. They did a great job with the decor of the restaurant.

Wonderful birthday dinner. The food was fabulous - we had the papardelle, margarita pizza and chocolate mousse. The service was friendly, attentive and knowledgable. The overall vibe was chic and fun. The bar, Danico, in the rear of the restaurant is a very cool bonus. Thank you for a great evening! read more

Absolutely the worst experience I have ever had in my life. And I live in NYv and travel internationally on the regular. I had to order 3 times to get a vodka martini. I was told we don't carry martini...? Ok? Our pizza came before my drink or water. I'm still here at the table and we are down eating and still have no water... really the host. Was unbelievably rude. Like we wanted front row at Chanel or something. Seriously.. I dine out at restaurants like this weekly I have never wish crappy service in my life. I just finally got my martini and we still don't have the water.. then we just ask for the check and the waiter is clearly angry. Never ever will I come or recommend this place again. DO NOT DINE HERE it's horrible read more

Service was great. Food was delicious. We didn't have a reservation but the three of us got a table for a quick meal which was more than enough time for us. We had the pea, fava bean and ricotta starter followed by a pizza and the veal chop Milanese. All were excellent. Very flavorful beautifully cooked food. Wine pairing by the glass also right. Hate to recommend because will just make it harder to get in. read more

We went on a Sunday night and was surprised to see it crowded, fortunately we had reservations and were seated quickly. The decor was modern, the crowd stylish, and the service efficient. We had pizza and pasta, while I'm not sure I'd go back for the food, I would for the atmosphere. I learned later that there's a bar in the back, we kept seeing movement but thought it was a kitchen. I'd go back to check it out as well as the surrounding neighborhood, Daroco is next to Galerie Vivienne, a shopping passage. read more

Couldn't have asked for more at this restaurant. Great food, nice service, excellent bar at the back, and lovely ambience. Don't miss the rigatoni - that guanchale is amazing - and the pizzas. To finish up, the tiramisu is an absolute home run. Just make sure to get a reservation because this place fills up FAST. read more

Amazing experience. I was visiting from NYC and it was the best meal I had in Paris. Service was friendly. Pasta and Pizza were delicious!

Visited on Apr. 24th in the afternoon. I knew it was time between lunch and dinner, and stuff had things to do, but once they let me inside, I wanted to be treated accordingly. Coffee was ok, but expensive. read more
