Very amazing Italian food! The aubergine gnocchi dish was delicious. It was very hearty Italian food with thick, heavy sauces. Definitely not for those looking for a light meal read more

This is a charming little restaurant with superb food. I "discovered" it several years ago when I was staying on the Ile St. Louis and have gone back every year since. I've also brought French friends here and they loved it, too. Make a reservation and then be prepared to have one of the most enjoyable meals you will have in all of Paris. read more

We visit this cozy, comfortable restaurant frequently. Favorites include the French onion soup, whatever pasta is on offer, and risotto. Ask for a wine recommendation, they know what works with what. Staff are amazing. Highly recommend. read more

Food was fabulous and the meal was almost perfect, until we finished our delicious desserts. The server unceremoniously presented us with the check and asked us to clear our table because "people were waiting to be seated". No one that I saw. This is in Paris where a leisurely meal is standard and you almost always have to ask for the check. The great food was so not worth the very un-Parisian service. read more

Sorza was a lovely experience! We made a reservation for a Sunday evening and I highly recommend you do, too, as it's a small restaurant in a popular location. There was one server for the entire space and she did a pretty good job keeping up with the tables. We split a mozzarella appetizer that was the best we had of the trip - the tomatoes were perfectly ripe, salad was well dressed, and mozz was delicious. I had the scallop risotto and my only gripe is that the scallops continued to cook while sitting on top of the hot risotto so they were overcooked by the time I got to the second one. That was highly disappointing because they were the focal point of the dish. The carbonara was extremely creamy, almost too much, and nicely flavored. We split a creme brulee for dessert and it wasn't my favorite of the trip, but it was still tasty. Overall, pleasant experience. Expect to spend a bit more as it is a pricier restaurant, but the ambiance and tastiness make it worthwhile. read more

We chose this place for our first night in Paris and were NOT disappointed. Arugula salad, steak, escargot and fish with saffron risotto were all incredible!!!! Small and welcoming restaurant with about 13 tables. It is truly perfect! read more

I'm usually a very harsh critic. However, this place far surpassed my expectations. The decor and atmosphere is very soothing, and the bread brought out during lunch was amazing. The woman I'm the restaurant was very welcoming and accommodating to our needs. I had the tomato pasta for my main course and it was amazing, maybe a little more salt could have been used but otherwise it was great. Would definitely come back. read more

Our travel agent made our reservation and we were excited after looking at the menu and reviews online. Due to the limited seating you have to have a reservation, but we didn't feel cramped and didn't notice the size after we sat down. I had the escargot and the lamb shank, my wife had the scallop risotto and strawberry sorbet. The sauce I. The lamb was so delicious and the creaminess of the potatoes was amazing. The risotto itself was a little Alden the for our taste, but the scallops were perfect! The escargot was fun to eat and a buttery, earthy delight. The wine list was small, but the right selection for the menu. Like many other restaurants in Paris this isn't an eat and run experience, it's more of a relax and enjoy the company and atmosphere experience! There's one server and she takes her time with each table, so plan to spend a few hour's enjoying your dinner. we would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Paris and we'll make a point to go back if we find ourselves in Paris again! read more

Amazing restaurant. We got the burrata salad which was beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. The cherry tomatoes where the best tomatoes I'd ever had. Sweet and juicy with a nice firm bite. We also shared the salmon risotto which had a little bite of foam on top. Just a gorgeous plate. The flavors were lovely and the risotto was cooked just right. read more

Very good spaghetti limone! We went twice in one week. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. read more

Food was wonderful. I had salmon risotto which was delicious. The staff was also very friendly which has not always been the case in other establishments. Will definite go back when in Paris again. Be sure to make a reservation. It's a very small restaurant. read more

This is our all time favorite in Paris. The food and the service are always impeccable! Being going for 15 years and is always delicious and moderately priced. My faves are the Scallop Risotto and the Panna cotta. read more

I hid myself from a rain shower into this cozy restaurant. It has a stylish red and black interior. The restaurant itself has four tables where four people can sit. And another six two-seater, which can be grouped as required. It serves menus from noon till 7pm, after which it becomes a (wine) bar. As starter I chose the onion soup with croutons (fried bread) . The finely sliced bread was covered with Parmesan and lying on a bed of onions. And all swimming in a soup. I liked it very much. As main course I chose the dish of the day, which was saffron risotto with king prawns. The rice was creamy and the prawns well cooked. It was a delight. Finally I ordered the Panna Cotta. It came in a big glass. It had a thin top layer of raspberry and another thin layer of orange jam in the middle. The epic conclusion of a great lunch. The starter and main course were just 18€. Pretty reasonable. I would recommend this spot anytime. read more

We ordered Sorza for lunch via Take Eat Easy (an awesome and environmentally friendly delivery service--by bike and with GPS tracking), and the food arrived within 30 minutes, still steaming hot. For starters, we ordered the parmesan soufflé with a roquette and pine nut salad, and the mozzarella di bufala, cherry tomatoes on the vine and roquette salad. That parmesan soufflé packs a punch! It is dense and richly eggy--I could have done with a much smaller portion. I'm a big fan of the roquette and pine nut salad, with a sweet and sticky balsamic dressing that pairs well with the mozzarella (which in itself was great, drizzled in a light pesto sauce). The main course was less impressive. As we were craving a beautiful, basic tomato pasta, we both ordered the spaghetti tomates et basilic. And basic it was. There was nothing special about this tomato sauce--you could have labeled it Chef Boyardee and I would have believed you. Even I make a better tomato sauce! While I'd give it three stars for the starters, based on the main dish alone I'm dropping a star. If an Italian restaurant can't get a tomato sauce right, just how good can it be? read more

This place was very delicious but I don't think it was worth the price. My boyfriend and I both got "The Menu", which is a 3 course meal, but at the end of the night we would have been happy with just an entree. They are very good portions by them selves and about $27 euros for the steak. Overall, lovely restaurant and great unique French environment. read more

Good food! Fair price! They had a pre-fix menu for 24€ which includes soup or salad, pasta entree and dessert!

There was only one server on duty, very small restaurant, & she was delightful! "Cathrine" maybe was her name. Anyway, she made me a perfect kir Royal, & couldn't have been more helpful. Also, the soufflé there is "to die for"! read more

I have eaten here several times on trips to Paris. The cuisine here is mostly Italian, but they serve a killer bowl of French onion soup. The restaurant is small and has a very nice atmosphere. If you want to feel like you are eating dinner with locals, however, pick a different restaurant. Sorza is located on Ile Saint Louis, and is typically populated with tourists, as far as I can tell. The staff have always been patient and willing to let me practice my French, but their English is fluent and readily available. The food is lovely. I am always tempted by several entrée options and choices of main dishes, and I have enjoyed everything I have tried. I have not explored the dessert menu very much. I can say that the portion of the chocolate mousse is quite generous. It is good, but if I had the choice, I would choose to have a smaller portion of a darker chocolate variety. I have had luck here on several occasions arriving without a reservation before 7:30pm, but it is safest to reserve ahead. If you happen to be in Paris during a heat wave, note that this is a popular spot, as it is air conditioned. You will definitely need a reservation in that situation. read more

My daughter and I are visiting from the U.S. Our hotel is just a few steps away. The folks at the hotel recommended this restaurant. We lovvved it! The linguini and the fettuccini with lemon cream sauce is yummmmmmy!!!! read more

Sorza - Fettuccini with chicken breast - Italian Near Me - Paris 04, 75

The appetizer here is absolutely my favorite in Paris. They do cherry tomatoes still on the vine with buffalo mozzarella and a pesto salad with pine nuts. It is amazing! I also love the chicken in lemon cream sauce. They have a great menu (appetizer, meal, dessert). The service is always great. The only slight down side is, its small and very good so it can be hard to get a seat from time to time. read more

Sorza - Tomato and buffalo mozzarella appetizer. Amazing! - Italian Near Me - Paris 04, 75

After days of hot, humid weather in Paris in May (!), we came here because we knew they had air conditioning. It was not on, however. We sat close to the door and it was bearable for most of the meal. I had the 45 euro menu, starting with onion soup, which really wasn't, as it came in a wide bowl rather than a crock and it was obvious they put the entire bowl under the broiler to attempt to brulee the cheese on the two little pieces of bread. The bowl was excruciatingly hot but the soup itself was tepid. Broiled the bread but didn't heat the soup! The broth was not rich, so this was not a successful soupe a l'oignon. Try it at Bofinger in the Marais, along with anything they serve. Fabulous food and service, beautiful space. Anyway, my risotto with scallops was tastier, plenty of scallops that were delicious, although the risotto was a bit too al dente and there wasn't really any depth of flavor. My husband got the carbonara, and as another reviewer said, it wasn't really carbonara as it had a soupy cream sauce rather than egg and cheese that stuck to the pasta. But he liked it. His arugula salad was fresh and tasty. So while it was not a spectacular meal, it was a serviceable one. If you're looking for a really good, quirky-looking restaurant on the Ile St. Louis, I'd recommend Taverne du Nil, around the corner. Best kebabs I've ever, and owner is a hoot. We went there twice. read more

Very small restaurant on Ile Saint Louis. The French onion soup was not our favorite. The onions weren't caramelized but were simply translucent and served in a base of clear stock (chicken?) versus the traditional and heartier beef broth. The parmesan soufflé was okay but again nothing spectacular. Our entrees were very good. Scallops risotto, lemon chicken and pasta with marinara sauce. Desserts were mixed - one creme brûlée topping was overdone and one was perfect. The ice cream was well received and enjoyed. Our server (just one) worked very hard all night keeping all tables moving. Intimate spot and cozy. read more

Caprese salad and Parmesan risotto were delicious. However, when the salmon risotto didn't meet my expectations as the salmon wasn't a fillet, instead it was grounded salmon- I was made to feel like there was something wrong with my taste buds. It's okay to have a different version of a dish - not okay to treat your patrons like something is wrong with them. read more

Very disappointing microwave-like food. Worst meal in Paris I bet had. We ordered onion soup and arugula salad as starter, both were average. Everything following was unacceptably bad. We were expecting good Italian pasta, but all plates were disaster. Spaghetti with tomato and pesto was overcooked, no pesto was in the plate. Fettuccini with lemon chicken was also overcooked and the chicken has no flavor what so ever, tasted like frozen chicken breast in sour cream cheese. We also ordered their special of the day -boeuf bourguignon with mash potato, which tasted nothing like beef but badly made restructured meat. To do the restaurant fair, the server was friendly and speaks good English. read more

Really lovely food, good selection of wine. Affordable - especially if you have the Entré&Plat special between 12h-7pm weekdays.

I came solo on a dead winter night, and I wasn't disappointed. Mondays on the island are slow, and a lot of the restos are closed this day. Ordered off the fixed prix menu for 43€ which comes with choice of appetizer, main and dessert. The parmesan soufflé was beautiful in texture and filling, with the salad almost a meal in itself (but I was starving so perfect). The scallop risotto was rich, creamy and full of flavour. Dessert was less successful but rich with chocolate flavor (presentation in a glass was a bit underwhelming). Service was extremely unobtrusive and sweetly polite, and the restaurant has a modern red and black colour scheme which was a nice contrast to the typical brasserie decor found everywhere else on the street. Food presentation was beautiful and shows a lot of care was put into each dish. Excellent experience, I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking for something a bit different. read more

Sorza - Perfectly cooked scallops on a perfectly done risotto - Italian Near Me - Paris 04, 75

Spectacular, in all aspects! Service was lovely, spoke full English and wasn't offended when they had to use it. Food was to die for! The deal was a main and desert for 19€ and it was well worth it! Have to get there before 7pm to get it though. Absolutely loved it and would eat there again if we went back to Paris read more

The French Onion Soup, Burger Maison & Parmesan Risotto where delicious! Service was excellent and the pace was decidedly un-american and perfect! And at a good price!!! Tres Bien! read more

so why would you come to Paris and hit up an Italian restaurant? yeah right - it takes a lot of gaul (pun intended!) to run an Italian restaurant in Paris. So loosen up your snobbish inner self and give it a try - onion soup is excellent, gnocchi are awesome, and chicken fettuccine is really good. creme brulee is oh la la. service is good. space is tiny. really tiny. area is par excellence! read more

Did not care for it. Pricey spaghetti with bland flavor. Staff was not very friendly either

From 12-7pm there are 1-3 course meal options for a great price. There are plenty of options. The food was great, as was the service. The air conditioning was an added bonus. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

This is a cute little place on Île Saint-Louis, I really enjoyed the atmosphere inside. We went here for dinner on our last night in Paris. The risotto was excellent. For dessert we had the crème brulee and the tiramisu, both great. read more

Had a wonderful meal at this little place on the island tonight. As Americans I don't think we take time to sit down and enjoy a meal. Are you started with the French onion soup. And then the leg of lamb. Followed up with a crème brûlée. This little meals took an hour and a half. And I enjoyed every bite. Just to sit back with my love, not look at our. cell phones. Just enjoy each other's company and a good meal. This little place was wonderful wow read more

Great fresh Italian food w/ nice size portions not your typical huge Italian size portions. Awesome for late night dining too. I believe they close around 10 or 10:30. read more

Although the woman who runs the restaurant is very kind and the service is good, the food was terrible. The French onion soup was bland, the carbonara was full of cream and had no flavor (even the pancetta was tasteless). Traditional carbonara is made with egg and not cream. The chicken breast on fettuccini was flavorless basically just a cream and butter sauce but good enough for 2 hungry 10 year olds. The creme brûlée was torched too closely so it was burnt and you could taste the butane. I really have no idea how this place has 4 stars.....I would not recommend it if you know good Italian food. It's a tourist trap for Americans with over priced, under flavored food. Walk across the bridge to the several other Italian restaurants for a much better food experience. read more

Sorza was right down the street from us on a recent honeymoon trip to Paris. It is expensive but really tasty food. I recommend eating there before 7pm because you can get a starter, main course & desert for 23 Euro, instead of 39.5 Euro after 7pm. We didn't make it by 7:00 so we had a one combo selection and then a main course. My wife had the French onion soup, risotto with scallops and the creme brulee. I ordered the grilled cod & ratatouille. I love both our main course selections and definitely recommend them. The onion soup was blazing hot when it came out so be prepared, but it is quite tasty with croutons and a layer of cheese. The scallops, risotto was a wonderful dish with 6 perfectly cooked scallops. I really liked the ratatouille side and the cod tasted fresh. If I go again I will definitely have an early dinner, where I can get more food for less money! read more

Like so many restaurants in central Paris, seriously average and seriously overpriced. Nice waitress but poor food. The parmesan souffle was so over-re-heated that it was burnt to the ramequin. My wifes aubergine starter was nice. My risotto main was pleasant although I think the scallops where frozen, as they where slightly undercooked but still too firm. My wifes lamb shank was definitely from a catering bag. Coffee and a bill for 100 euros! read more

This was probably my favorite meal that I had on my recent trip to Paris. I was staying at a nearby hotel and had read about Sorza. Luckily we arrived before 8pm ( early for Paris eating) and got a table without a reservation. Many people after 8 were turned away as the restaurant is small, and Paris restaurants don't hustle customers out the door when they are done eating, which is very nice! The Sorza ambience is relaxing and unassuming & it was a pleasure to dine here. We started with French Onion soup which was good, but nothing out of this world for me. The real treat was my main course -the creamy cheese Ravioli- just delicious! I also had the wonderful Brouilly Beaujolais wine here, which I am trying to find in the US, but have unfortunately had no luck. There seemed to be only one waitress serving the entire place, which I believe is not an uncommon thing in small Paris restaurants. Her service was friendly and her english was "tres bien"- however don't expect snap crackle pop service ala America. read more
