Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Local family run Italian gem hidden away near the Eiffel Tower. You have to be looking to find it, and you won’t be disappointed. Wonderful atmosphere, family service, food is 10/10 and cannot be faulted. Varied menu and something for every budget. It has outdoor...seating. It’s very nice and a wonderful experience that you will never forget if you visit this little bit of Italy in Paris. Even if you’re curious about it, just book it. You only live once!!More

This place was fantastic! We say down and waiter recommended a great bottle of wine. My fiancée got spaghetti with meat sauce. I don’t think it was on the menu but was very good. The star of the show was the Tagliolini ai formaggi. They...bring out a bowl and light it on fire in front of you. Seemed to be a very popular dish and was fantastic! I liked how rich the cheese was. Overall an excellent dining experience and super convenient when visiting the Eiffel Tower.More

We came to this restaurant on a recommendation from a tour guide. The food was outstanding, the ambience was wonderful, and the wait-staff were extraordinarily helpful and friendly. Luigi, our server made us feel very welcome. The restaurant was really close to the Eiffel Tower.

Absolutely delicious food in a beautiful setting. Bruschetta so tasty. All had pasta which was superb. Daughter had the cheese wheel, fantastic to have each one cooked to order at the table. Staff were really friendly and professional. Really recommend.

My wife and I had a great time at this place last time we visited Paris in 2016 and I came back with my son this time. We would have perferred to eat outside but were told it was not possible due to some new...Paris law not allowing patrons on the sidewalk after 10pm (not sure I understand it as outdoor cafes have people late at night all over Paris). Inside the seating is a little cramped but we had a nice time anyway. All of our food items were great especially the flambed pasta special made in the cheese wheel. Service was excellent, good wine list. Highly recommended!More

Parisian gem, we visited this on our very short trip to Paris and what a visit that was. The staff were the best I ever came across, the food was very tasty, the wheel pasta was was extremely tasty, the bruschetta was one of the...best I ever had and the views are magical. The staff really really went out their way to make our visit enjoyable, but also helped us almost 3 hours after our visit to get a taxi for us as we were basically stranded! It’s a must visit when you get to Paris, couldn’t thank these guys enough.More

One of our favorite restaurants in Paris. Food, service and ambiance are all excellent. We started with a prosecco and bruschetta at the 2-top by the window. After sharing the antipasto del sorrentino, we had the cannelloni limousine and the ravioli genovese. Then we shared...scallopini al limone. All were well-prepared and very tasty, as were our desserts: zabaglione and cannolo with apple and nuts and cinnamon glace. Wine was a nice Nuhar pinot/nero d’avola. Delightful evening. Group of regulars beside us had ties to Canada and Chicago, and lived near the resto. We highly recommend, and always call for reservations.More

Exceptional service, amazing food along with a view of Eiffel tower, what more could you want? We just walked up without reservations and we’re seated outside facing the Eiffel Tower able to watch the elevators go up and down. Friendly staff very tentative, not rushed....The best Italian we’ve had since in Paris.More

Very disappointing, good food ruined by poor service. Feel that the waiters are very discriminatory towards British people as we seems to be the only British people in there and the only people to be treated the way we were. We booked 9pm table thinking...we would be in there an hour ish which would give us time to get over to the Eiffel Tower for 11, we had to leave one person still eating to make it there in time as he was still eating at 11:05pm. We waited 30 minutes to have our drinks order taken (after having to ask),whilst everyone who came in after us had their orders taken pretty much straight away, everyone was given water we had to ask numerous times for this, waited an hour for our starters to come, everyone else was offered cheese with their pasta except us, everyone was offered shots at the end, they did not offer the one remaining person a shot. The food was lovely and the outside view of the Eiffel Tower is great but the service was really awful and put a dampener on our night.More

I had a table reserved at the restaurant 10 days prior to arrival. This was very special date as my parents were celebrating 33th wedding anniversary. I called several times and asked to give them the best table possible and everything to be perfect. Once...they got their, the staff told them that they had no reservation even though they showed the restaurant the confirmation email :). They set anyway, because they had free table for 1.5 hours :) however most of the things that were written in the menu was not available. Lastly, I emailed the restaurant again to ask them why there was no reservation, but noone answered.More

We continue to return, always having a delightful meal in elegant surroundings. It’s a small elegant restaurant with excellent food and service. We always start with their tasty Antipasti Sorrentino. All of their mains we’ve ordered have been well-prepared and flavorful. For dessert, I’m partial...to their scrumptious gateau cioccolato, with a warm chocolate center. For our wine, we like their Rapitala Nero d’Avola. We highly recommend — call for reservations — they speak English in addition to French and Italian.More

The small Pizzas was really good, we had them as a appetizer. And the dish with only clams in butter and garlic (saw the picture on instagram) was really good.
