    wowow so good for an Italian restaurant in France. Great price and good service. Love the food will for sure go back again and again!!

    Pizza diavola
    Catherine O.

    I came here last minute and it was absolutely delicious. Run by Italians which explains why everything tasted just like I was back in Italy. I had the caprese and the diavola pizza which were perfectly done - authentic Italian pizza (which is often not the case in Paris). All of the pastas rolling by looked amazing as well. The staff were very friendly and welcoming to all comers. I was able to walk in right at noon with no reservation but it definitely started to fill up around 12:30. Will be back!

    While in Paris I was craving Italian food and this restaurant was recommended to me by my cousin who comes here a lot. SURPRISE - their menu is somewhat English for any non French speakers...so that would help a tourist a ton! This restaurant seems like a mom and pop type of family restaurant so that is already a great plus. It's on a corner and inside has a two story seating, which is pretty small on both levels, so I can imagine it can get crazy packed and tight! It's about 15 minutes walking from the famous Champs-Élysées street. I ordered a margarita pizza, mushroom pizza, gamberoni shrimp, and rigatoni, and last but not least..a tiramasu. The pizzas were absolutely delightful, they tasted delicious and so light and fluffy. They definitely make them with great ingredients and brick oven. The grilled shrimp was perfectly cooked and had a great flavor to it, and finally the rigatoni had some great authentic flavor to it. Overall, I'd absolutely come back here again! If you're craving Italian food, or a great pizza..this is definitely a spot to swing by and try.

    Bruschetta!!! SO good! And add a little balsamic.. delish!
    Kati M.

    Absolutely Amazing! While visiting Paris we stumbled upon this restaurant and it was the highlight of our trip! I'm talking so good that we ate here 3 nights! Lol The bruschetta was so fresh and tasty! But what really stole the show was the lasagna! Truly the best lasagna any of us had ever had! Also amazing fettuccine, gnocchi, and daily specials! Drinks were great! Their house wine was delish!!! And their mixed drinks were nice and strong! They also gave a pitcher of water for the table which was really nice as everywhere else we went in Paris only gave small glasses of water at a time. Not something we were use to. As for the staff!! Wow I can't say enough!!! They really do treat you like family. They spoke decent English and were extremely kind! Laughing and joking with us, remembering us when we came back! The atmosphere is also a unique experience. Downstairs tables can be reserved and are like a normal restaurant. The upstairs is more "family style". Some individual tables and some long tables that may have multiple families. If we didn't have plans already set in stone we would have ate here every night on our trip!! Wish they would branch out to the US!!! Until then, looks like we'll just have to come back to Paris to enjoy the best food ever!

    My first Restoran in Paris is really good. Whoever likes Italian food I recommend this place

    Pasta and pizza.... fantastic

    Great service! Inside or outside dining. It's a bit out of our way, but we will return. Excellent pizza and freshly made pasta make it worth the trip.

    Dropped in while in Paris. While out and about looking for authentic Italian, I found this gem. Truly made me feel like I was in Southern Italy. If you want the home feel of a small roadside, family owned Italian café, this should be a stop for you.

    I'm not going to be long winded. It's a great spot. Great food. Fair prices. Great staff. Most excellent pizza. I was a fine choice to stop.

    This place is a hidden jem, in the hustle and bustle of the center of Paris. A few blocks away from the Galleries Layfette on a quiet side street you can experience great service, inexpensive quality food with an Italian twist. I had the prefix 25 Eruos gets you an Appetizer I had Caprese, a glass of wine and an entre, I had the Veal. The food was outstanding

    What a great meal we had here! This place was a great find - just a short walk from our hotel. We got there right when they opened at 7pm and walked in to staff speaking Italian, which instantly put me at ease as my Italian is much better than my French. It felt like we were dining in someone's family kitchen. Staff was super friendly and helpful and food was delivered promptly. Our meal was delicious, both entrees and dessert. I loved my bolognese pasta and the creme brulee. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Paris. It's a small place but they have an upstairs seating area as well. This was our last dinner in Paris and it was excellent. The place was pretty busy by the time we left so I recommend going early, right when they open.

When we told the server that there was a rat all he said was "this is Paris" we asked if he could move it and he said "no, this is Paris don't worry." If it was just Paris we wouldn't have had other parisians in the restaurant being freaked out about. I get it we are Americans and aren't used to it, but not even putting the rat outside after we asked them to is awful. We stayed at the restaurant although we shouldn't have. The food took an hour and a half to come out, and the server was pretty awful. Typical for Paris but even worse than usual. The prices were outrageous and the food did not taste good whatsoever. Highly don't recommend this place if you value a good atmosphere without eating next to rats. French translation: Nous sommes venus dîner dans ce restaurant, situé juste en face de notre hôtel. À peine installés, tout semblait aller bien jusqu'à ce qu'un rat apparaisse à nos pieds. Lorsque nous l'avons signalé au serveur, il s'est contenté de répondre : " Ici, c'est Paris. " Nous lui avons demandé de le déplacer, et il a rétorqué : " Non, c'est Paris, ne vous inquiétez pas." Si c'était un rat typiquement parisien, les autres clients du restaurant ne s'en seraient pas inquiétés. Je comprends que nous soyons Américains et que nous n'y soyons pas habitués, mais refuser de sortir le rat après notre demande est inadmissible. Nous sommes restés au restaurant, à tort. L'attente pour les plats a été d'une heure et demie, et le service était exécrable. Typique de Paris, mais pire que d'habitude. Les prix étaient exorbitants et la nourriture absolument immangeable. Je déconseille fortement cet endroit si vous appréciez une ambiance agréable sans avoir à dîner à côté de rats.

We loved the service, attentive, friendly, answering lots of questions. Good wine list. Overall, somewhat expensive, but it's Paris. The carpaccio of beef was great as was the spinach ravioli with truffles. The only "miss" here was that the black truffles seemed to lack power and flavor which they sometimes do. I am not a truffle expert, but sometimes they pack a lot of very good punch and sometimes you can barely taste them, and in this case it was the latter. Feel like we got head-faked into the truffle menu and might have been better off on the regular one. Suggest: smell the truffles when they show them to you and if it's not fairly overpowering, then don't order. The bellinis were fanastic on the other hand. Overall, I'd definitely come back if I want a fancy Italian meal not far from the Champs Elyseees.
