The prices are also reasonable and the portions are generous - you won't leave here hungry. This is one of my favorite places for Italian food in Toulouse and I'll keep coming back here. They have a menu of the day for lunch where you can pick an appetizer and an entree for around 13-15€, and the menu of the day for dinner will cost around 20.50€ for the appetizer and entree. There will be 2 choices for an appetizer and 2 choices for an entree. You can order a la carte as well but it will be more expensive so your best bet is to just get one of the plat du jours. The focaccia here is really good and comes out hot and fresh in a little iron skillet pan. I've ordered just the focaccia with tomato and that was around 4€, and it was delicious. The next time I got a focaccia that was more expensive with cheese on it (around 7€) and didn't care for it as much, as it was almost like a little pizza and had too many things competing for attention for the taste. With a plainer focaccia, you can really taste the freshness of the bread. For appetizers, they always seem to have a version of arancini, which is not necessarily the healthiest option but it's delicious and comes with a small side arugula salad to make yourself feel slightly better about yourself. For the entree, I've always gotten the beef cannelloni which seems to be one of their specialities of the house. The pasta is fresh and al dente and tastes homemade and the sauce is delicious and tasty without being salty. I highly recommend the cannellonis, they are some of the best cannellonis I've had at an Italian restaurant. The cannoli we had for dessert was really fresh - both the shell and also the ricotta filling. It doesn't get more authentic than cannolis here. We were so full from our dinner that we split one dessert and it was more than enough for us. You should make a reservation here for dinner as it gets really popular and crowded. On a weekday, you'll probably be able to walk-in, as they open later until 3 pm. Highly recommend this place - they definitely know what they are doing when it comes to focaccia and pasta!

You would think you almost were transported to Italy with this pizza, it's super fresh, authentic, and reasonably priced. The portions are huge, and we got the entire slab of pizza for 2 people, with 3 different flavors, and it was too much pizza. Next time, I'd probably go with a half slab for 2 people, unless you want leftovers to take home. You can order an entire pizza (€20) half a pizza (€10), or get it to by the weight to go (€28/kg). We opted for 3 flavors: truffle cream with mushrooms, rugby (with a few different kinds of meat), and a bresola and arugula pizza. My favorite one was the truffle cream and the rugby one. The bresola meat was not as thinly sliced as I would have liked, but it was still tasty with the arugula. The rugby and the bresola flavors had tomato sauce, and the truffle cream one did not. The crust was nice - not too thin; not too thick and was crisp on the bottom and the outer crust was chewy and soft. They have seats downstairs too, so don't be discouraged when you walk in and only see 4 small tables on the top floor. Lots of variety here for pizza, good selection of Italian wines by the glass or bottle, and overall a great experience. Don't come with a group bigger than 4, since the tables are fairly small and it will be hard to find enough space. I'd definitely come back here and recommend it if you're looking for a good pizza an are hungry!

But the food was great and the service was wonderful. We ordered 3 pizzas and lasagna. Everything was served piping hot. My boys devoured their pizza. I think they even finished off my wife's pizza. Thin crust pizza. Lots of cheese. Hot out of the oven. Great server who was very helpful since only I speak French in the family. It's not haute cuisine but it is where you go when you want to eat well, enjoy good food and conversation and not spent too much money.

It has chorizo(which was spicy and kinda of like pepperoni slices), bell peppers, mushrooms, cheese, and tomato sauce. Their crust is on the thicker side, but it was delicious and soft. I enjoyed every bite and the small size was a good portion for me even though I didn't finish it and got a box to take home. The pizzas also came out quickly! But we went around dinner 22:30 so it wasn't packed or anything! Service was quick and fast even though it was hard to understand French since they did not speak that much English. They were nice enough to give us an English menu! Their wine is also great, we shared a bottle of red wine for €7.

The wine was also really good and relatively inexpensive, at ~$16-20 for most bottles. I'd definitely come back here again, it's definitely a great find for Italian food here in Toulouse!

Your choices of pizza are a bit limited and you can only choose from 5 or 6 flavors/combinations. I got the pizza that had vegetables without realizing that this particular vegan pizza didn't have any cheese. The pizza I got had tomato sauce, mushrooms, artichokes and red bell peppers but I didn't find this amazing - it was definitely missing cheese. It was a decent size for the half, but I didn't think the crust was quite as good as some of the other pizza places in Toulouse. The crust was a bit thin and soggy with all the vegetables. The salad was really small and didn't have anything except lettuce leaves and dressing. I would have preferred to just pay more for a bigger pizza and make my own salad at home. Overall, just okay - maybe I should have gotten a different flavor pizza but this is not somewhere I'd come over and over. This is probably more of a takeaway place or to get pizza delivered from - the restaurant is pretty small and doesn't have a ton of tables. This wouldn't be my first choice of pizzas in Toulouse.

(Very sorry to the proprietor for my delay in writing this!) I like the place for its casualness and he definitely has the crust dialed in. The place is VERY small: maybe 3 barstools and 3 tables (and, remember, French service is slow compared to American standards...people like to linger). He seems to do a robust takeout business to compensate. Just be prepared to either have to wait or get it to go and eat at a nice park, plaza, church, apartment/hotel room, etc. Pizzas are quite good. As mentioned, the foundation (crust) is beyond reproach: nice crispy-burnt edges and good chew inside. From there, he offers a sufficient variety of toppings though there's something just a little off with the tomato sauce and cheese. It's tasty, for sure, but lacked a certain depth of flavor and sharpness (acid?) in the cheese. Definitely needed some Sriracha hot sauce or crushed red pepper (which he provides). The menu is limited beyond pizzas. The arugula salad (get with extra cheese) is hearty and good. The house wines are just average. The beers are, well, Euro. (don't recall seeing a draft). The proprietor is super nice...speaks some English and has visited the States. This is definitely a good local business to get behind. Overall, I definitely recommend this place for its quaintness and solid pizza. And Toulouse itself is a nifty little city; I love the streets, cafe and restaurant culture, and ease of the city center here very much. It's very casual and laid back and unpretentious. Just nice and classy- European and the people are nice enough. Maybe not enough to do for tourists beyond a day or two but still worth checking out if passing through on your France itinerary.
