    Great spot with a great view of the Eiffel Tower for those lunch/dinner pictures with a view! Decided to check this spot out without a reservation and thankfully they had a spot for us inside the restaurant. Ambiance of the restaurant is very cozy and romantic, came here with my boyfriend and we both loved our meals. They offer many italian dishes and their pasta tasted amazing. I got the spaghetti with clams, while my boyfriend got the spinach cannelloni stuffed with limousine meat. Portion sizes were the perfect amount to leave you satisfied and not super full. Flavours of the pasta were great, the meat in my boyfriends pasta was cooked so perfectly and tasted amazing. Would love to try more on their menu if I ever come back to this spot!

    Amazing ! We were in Paris for two nights...and guess where we went for dinner both nights?? Yep! This place is so wonderfully authentic Italian, owned by an Italian family. Intimate and cozy, but lively ! The food was excellent - you MUST get a dish that they prepare tableside in a Parmesan wheel! My favorite dessert was the afogato and my friend loved the tiramisu. Everything was a smash. In the evening, you can see the Eiffel Tower sparkling in front of the restaurant - a great spot to get that picture !

    There are several highly rated restaurants on this street with awe-inspiring views of the Eiffel Tower, but we selected Il Sorrentino for our evening meal. As is quite typical in Paris, the dining room is relatively small with tables set close together. This would be our only truly non-French meal of the trip, and it was outstanding! The service was great as was the food! We selected a couple glasses of rosé to sip while sampling the bruschette al pomodoro, which was fresh and delicious with just the right amount of acid. A simple start to our meal, but it sets the stage with big flavor from an unassuming dish. My mom's spaghetti sciuè sciuè (spaghetti hurry hurry, in Italian) was so understated and yet bold in flavor. A combination of perfectly al dente spaghetti, fresh cherry tomatoes, basil and high quality extra-virgin olive oil is the basis for this truly excellent pasta. I'm not gonna lie, I enjoyed bites of mom's spaghetti even more than my own selection! My rigatoni alla Norma was also fantastic, yet was overshadowed by the simple splendor of the spaghetti. My dish was studded with earthy bites of eggplant, and cloaked in a tomato sauce laced with creamy ricotta cheese. It packed more of a punch than the spaghetti, but was also really well-prepared. I can't think of a single complaint. Dessert was sublime, caffé del Nonno, a gooey, melty martini glass filled with decadent cappuccino cream. It almost reminds me of Italian soft serve, made with coffee, cream and sugar, and served on the soft side. It was decadent, and a perfect finale to an extraordinary non-French meal. Who imagined that one of our favorite meals in Paris would be Italian?!

    This shrimp and citrus pasta dish was refreshingly delicious!

    We visited here for a late lunch and the food and service were amazing. Everyone was very friendly and the restaurant has a nice classy vibe.

    We made reservations for 9pm and it was confirmed around 3:30pm. May be like 2 almost 3 hours later they canceled it. I don't know why. We ended up doing a walk in. Place was extremely busy and they were super under staffed. Very loud since it's very small. Food was okay not great.

    Raviolo di genovese di pollo; Cannelloni di limousine

    Visited while on our honeymoon and could not have picked a better restaurant to end our trip with. There is only a small number of tables so be sure to make a reservation beforehand. The food was absolutely amazing. We tried the Cannelloni di limousine which was recommend by the server 10/10. We also tried the Raviolo di genovese di pollo, fonduta di pecorino. The table next to us recommend it while they were leaving. You cannot go wrong with either. Finished off with a cappuccino and their tiramisu which was a great cap to the meal. The servers at Il Sorrentino were so nice and attentive. They also offered great suggestions.

    View from table, the tour Eiffel sparkles on the hour after sunset

    This is our second visit to I'll sorrentino, the food is very good Italian. They have a great wine list of Italian wines from many regions at reasonable prices. The burrata was fantastic, the pizzas were excellent, my fish in salt was great but a bit small. The view is unbelievable. Well worth a visit, one of our favorites.

    Stumbled upon this place for dinner and were really happy with the food. The ravioli dishes were both very flavorful. The atmosphere is a bit more upscale, so would definitely recommend if your looking for a nicer meal with good food.

    Tagliatelle with cheese cream sauce, prepared at your table side.

    Il Sorrentino is a hip little Italian place in the 7th. It's pretty close to the Eiffel Tower and if you sit outside, you can get a good view of the famous tower itself (see my photo). The food is excellent and the service very friendly. It's not cheap but then again, nothing in Paris is! It's an easy walk from my apartment on Rue Surcouf and I made it there before the busy lunch hour on a Saturday. Even without a reservation, I was able to get a nice seat outside. I ordered the tagliatelle with the cheese sauce. It's prepared at your table with the server swirling the hot pasta in a round of Parmesan cheese. First he flambe the cheese to get it going, pour in some cream, and then the hot pasta. After a quick swirl and some scraping of that delicious cheese, it's ready. It's one of the best Italian restaurants in the city, bar none. Paris is one of the great cities of the world for fine dining but if you've spent any amount of time there, you'll know that there's a lot of mediocre restaurants to the few really good ones. There are plenty of mediocre Italian restaurants in Paris but this is definitely one of the better ones!

We were absolutely AMAZED how delicious this little cozy restaurant was and service was 10 stars . The three guys who were running the whole restaurant were so nice, welcoming, friendly, efficient and hardworking. They all had great attitude and so polite, I love Paris and the people are so kind and polite. We had primitive wine I think that's what they called it on the menu. We had margarita pizza and arugula & artichoke salad. They brought us bread which was pizza crust delicious, I'm sure they have a pizza oven & by the way kitchen was underground because they had an elevator called dumb waiter to send up the food. We shared marscapone biscotti pistachio dessert OMG. Cappuccino for my husband and I had an Americano and I LOVE IT that they heated up the cream. Details are everything and simply delicious food. EXCELLENT EXCELLENT FOOD AND SERVICE. Thank you to the amazing host, waiter, server & most of all the amazing CHEF for the amazing food that he has made.

    Unexpected surprises…read more Desperate to find a restaurant after my first choice was completely packed till closing. Found Le Perron and called ahead last minute to find a table. The staff here is really excellent and their care for their patrons is apparent. As a vegetarian it can be hard trying to find proper food besides pizza. Our server was extremely helpful and helped adjust menu items to a vegetarian diet. Removing fish or chicken or adding some sauce, he really made sure we had a positive experience. The restaurant is quite cozy and feels like home. Though it does seem a bit older, this just adds to its charm. All in all, I found the food to be really delicious, especially the tagliatelle which he did with sauce and mushrooms minus the meat. The flavor of the food was beautifully balanced. I would definitely recommend this tiny little place to my friends and would guess that the non-veg food is equally as tasty.

We also had a cannoli for dessert and the filling was delicious. It's definitely a nicer restaurant and has an intimate feeling to it. The decor is well done and it was an overall lovely meal. The pasta was very memorable.

    Found the Bistro on Yelp and made reservations for 8:30pm for dinner with my son while we were in…read moreParis on our way to Germany. Just finished a long bike ride to the Eiffel Tower and worked up an appetite. Decided to go straight to the main course. They are known for Au Gratins. My son is not a cheese fan so he opted for the norvigene (smoked salmon in dill lemon and EVOO. I decided to stick with the house specialty; Landais Au Gratin (cream potatoes, duck breast and emmental cheese). The 2 German girls beside me ordered a cider with both their meals so I followed their lead. When in Paris...... Considering the temperature, I almost second-guess myself and ordered something other than their house specialty of au gratin potatoes. In the end, I was very glad I overruled that thought. Brody enjoyed his meal. He just appeared to still be hungry when it was done and a 16 year-old boy that normally has a high caloric intake, I can understand why he wanted a second meal after eating his first! The restaurant in the patio were quite crowded even though we had reservations. They still sat us within five minutes of arrival. Not that five minutes is a long time to wait, but it was still worth the wait as good as the food tasted. We both enjoyed our meals.

    What a pleasant surprise we found in this small cafe in Paris…read more The wait staff here is friendly and helpful. Although we came close to their closing time for lunch, they were patient and at no time, made us feel rushed. Ambiance is small and cozy. We enjoyed our lunch outside at one of the sidewalk tables. Under the awning, it was comfortable and breezy, even in hot June temperatures. I can only comment on one thing because my husband and I ordered alike. However, our spaghetti was delicious...prepared well and full of flavor with a delicious red sauce in a large portion. Definitely one of our best lunches in Paris. And, so close to Le Bon Marche and shopping.

And yet, the College Culinaire de France label could make believe that here they respect such a beautiful product. The photo tickles your brain? Oh yes ! Not only is there a lemon, but the bacon is bathed in this juice. No sooner it has passed the door of the kitchen than it begins to cook. Time to ask for some bread, olive oil ... it's dead. At 16 euros the plate, we cry. Then the dish. Spaghetti alla chitarra alla buttarga are spaghetti peculiar to the square shape. Take a look at Wikipedia, it's very informative. Increase the size of my photo as much as you want. Unless our bosses solve the quadrature of the circle, not an angle on the horizon. Especially that spaghetti alla chitarra, which benefit from the name "Traditional food product", must not be at the same price. When we begin to pip on the shape of the pasta, how do you want to be credible on the rest of your menu? As for the Boutargue, it is cut into huge pieces. WTF ?!! The mandolin was broken? !! A maximum of 15 grams fights between pasta. I know it's expensive but the plate is sold 22 euros! Tiramisu teeny-tiny and banal. The setting is nice. The service plays "friendly", Italian and is overall nice. But we feel a House that has existed for a long time, is not picky about cooking, probably because "it's okay", "they will not see the difference", "the times are hard, you have to save money", etc. In the deep of the jungle, we won't complain. 22, rue du Cherche Midi, with the pretension and the tariffs posted, we grumble. Addition of 54 euros for 1. The rating is not disastrous thanks to the quality of basic elements of food, despite everything.
