A nice neighborhood place that does standard Italian fare: Antipasto, Calzones, Pastas, Salads,…read moreMeat, Fish & Poultry dishes...and course many iterations of Pizzas... including Cheese-less pizzas.
They are fully staffed and attentive...orders are taken quickly and food comes out piping hot shortly thereafter. Sidewalk, outdoor, indoor seating. The wine list is limited: a Valparaiso, Chianti, and two others.
I ordered a Veau Milanese ( veal) and it was perfectly crispy with real, tender veal inside the golden crust. It was accompanied by a perfectly-sized, linguini pasta in red sauce. To my delight, the veal arrived without any sauce to taint the taste...just a slice of lemon.
The pasta was passable...it was a bit gummy but still al-dente. It was ok for what it was. As a stand-alone dish, I would have sent it back. I suspect the kitchen just has a huge bowl of the linguini to be used as a side dish. It didn't seem to be made-to-order.
Overall, what carried the meal was the veal and very attentive and courteous service. Many stars to the staff for hustling and being super nice and friendly.
I skipped dessert and finished with an expresso.
The atmosphere was casual during lunch: a variety of business people, some trades people, young tourists. English and French spoken. Pizza is a Global Language!!
A neighborhood jewel in the Auteuil district within the 16th. Either Jasmine or Michel-Ange Auteuil Metro stops on line 9. Some street parking. Nice shop district to walk-off the calories after a mea ( Think DT Los Gatos, CA / Los Altos, CA but with more interesting shops & the typical dirty Parisian sidewalks) . A few blocks away from the police station ( so behave!).
