We stopped in for lunch and shared an antipasto salad and the Tagliolini with old parmesan cream. It was fantastic and exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend this restaurant near the Eiffel Tower in Paris! read more

When you're staying in one of Paris's most popular tourist neighborhoods, it's easy to assume every restaurant is going to be a tourist trap. V & I have been blessed to spend several weeks in the area and we found one that stood above the rest: Chez Pippo. Located on Rue de la Bourdonnais, just steps from the Eiffel Tower, Chez Pippo became our neighborhood favorite during our stay. While restaurants in this part of Paris generally charge a premium because of their location, we found the prices to be in line with the area, and the quality of the food was consistently better than many of the nearby options. V & I have eaten here several times, both dining in and ordering takeout, and every visit has been enjoyable. The Diavola pizza (spicy pepperoni) has clearly been V's default order with its crisp crust, flavorful tomato sauce, just the right amount of spice, and quality ingredients. I love spicy but love pasta more and have tried the pesto (fresh basil and Parmesan), and the Bolognese twice which is very flavorful and comforting. All of the pastas were made in house and cooked al dente as expected. What really separates Chez Pippo from many of the surrounding restaurants is the warm hospitality. The owner clearly takes pride in his restaurant and makes guests feel genuinely welcome literally welcoming every guest. We feel like we got to know him and he would say hello when we walked by. That personal touch, combined with consistently good food and literally downstairs from us kept bringing us back. Is this the best Italian meal you'll ever have? Probably not. But that's also missing the point. Chez Pippo delivers exactly what you're looking for in a neighborhood restaurant: consistently good food, friendly service, a welcoming atmosphere, and an owner who clearly cares about the experience his guests have. In an area filled with restaurants competing for tourists' attention, Chez Pippo earned ours the old-fashioned way. They gave us a reason to come back again and again. If you're staying near the Eiffel Tower and looking for a dependable, enjoyable meal instead of rolling the dice on one of the many surrounding cafés, Chez Pippo is an easy recommendation. read more

A hidden gem! I had the homemade ravioli with crème sauce and my wife chose the freshly made pesto pasta with grated parmesan cheese. Also the homemade bread was light and tasteful. Our server Mario from the greeting to the dinner service made our meal delightful. Well done Chez Pippo! read more

Great service and food was amazing! Went in on a whim and we're lucky enough to get a table during the last few days of the Tour de France in Paris. We had lovely service and such a great meal and break from the bustle of the day. read more

Wow, what a fantastic little Italian gem! LOCATION: This place is very close by the Eiffel Tower and a very busy spot so resos are strongly recommended or you may not get a table. AMBIANCE: Very chic, modern and minimalistic decor. The manager could not find our reservation but was incredibly accommodating and we did have to squeeze tightly with a baby but he made it work! SERVICE: Manager was wonderful and we had two servers assisting us: the girl from Portugal was amazing, warm, and friendly, the other girl not so much and bordered on rude. She did not speak or respond to us and had constantly had a miserable look on her face like we were annoying her. We only saw her smile when we were leaving and she commented it's tough with a baby and I don't know if she meant it or she was just happy we were done, lol. FOOD: Excellent! We started off with three appetizers: one of shaved veal (Vitello tonnato), one grilled artichokes (giuida), and one salad with grilled veggies. All three were absolutely delicious. Dinner was pizza, pasta, and red wine! One pizza was a carbonara, the other was sausage, mushrooms, olives, shaved Parmesan and fresh truffles, and a pasta pomodoro. Everything was stellar and the pizza dough was superb! We did not get any dessert. NOTES: * A very small, quaint spot with both indoor & outdoor seating. * Menu available in English. * No high chairs & not a kid-friendly place. * Only ONE unisex bathroom. Excellent dinner and I highly recommend. As always, please support your local small businesses. Cheers! 3/15/26 read more

Paris - This is a casual, busy and very popular Italian restaurant with guests waiting along the sidewalk to be seated. With reservations we had to wait a bit but the gentleman host was exemplary in customer service. Seating is tight. The artichoke starter was excellent; the pasta bolognese was rich and delicious. Service was efficient and effective. Easy walk to the Eiffel afterwards makes for a nice evening and experience. read more

My husband found this restaurant before our trip and wanted to include this stop in our itinerary. I made a reservation weeks before we traveled. Someone from the restaurant called to confirm our reservation the day of the visit. Traffic caused us to be late for our reservation but the owners/managers were so great and welcoming. They got us a cozy table away from the door and we were happy to order a bottle of rosé while deciding on food. The menu is extensive. It was so hard to choose! We each ended up with a pizza. Freshly made, real quality toppings and each pizza is the size of a plate. You can see why this place is popular. From the incredible good, fantastic service and great location. Highly recommended read more

Walked in without a reservation but the Pippo was very considerable to get us a table in the second restaurant he had across the street with same menu. Limited veg options but the portions were good. read more

We found this place when searching for somewhere to eat while walking around by the Eiffel Tower. This place ended up being amazing! I ordered the charcuterie board which was ridiculously good! Words can't describe how good it tasted! My son absolutely loved his margherita pizza! If we had more time, we would've gone back again! The waiter was very nice and provided recommendations. We didn't realize there was one part of the restaurant on one side of the road and another part on the other side. You have to try this place!!! read more

Great place to walk to after visiting the Eiffel Tower. They do have some outdoor and indoor seating. It's on a beautiful little street. The food was so good! We went during the heatwave so of course it was warm everywhere you went but that easily was forgotten as soon as we started eating their delicious Italian food. My son loved his pizza! The pasta is made fresh and the sauce is delicious. Their service was good and you can tell they take pride in their food. It was a perfect place to eat and enjoy a drink as they have a full bar too. It's a tiny place but perfect after visiting the Eiffel Tower. It's not on a busy street and it takes you away from the chaos. Try their seafood pasta dish (casarecce nere tricolore al limone). The lemon white wine cream sauce was the best sauce I've ever had! read more

Great pizza and dessert! With meringue, white chocolate, and red fruity. Great service and they found us a table across the street at their second location when the main one was full read more

Food was fine. Nothing special. Service mediocre. Convenient based on location to Eiffel Tower.

The food took over 45 mins to come out. A couple sitting next to us, arrived and sat down after us, ordered basically the same thing as us, ate their meal, and left, before we got our food. I complained to the waiter and their response was oh, it will be out in five mins. They basically forgot to put our order in. We paying the bill, I asked the manager to admit they forgot our order and he lied right to my face. When we first got to the restaurant and asked for a table of four, they told us 20 mins, which was fine. However, while waiting, a person without a reservation asked for a table for four in French and was immediately seated. Not a good look. The food, once it finally arrived, was good. read more

It was great to find a wonderful Italian cafe in Paris. This is a lovely place, small but quaint. First of all I loved the wooden barrel tables out front. It was great that you could see a variety of amazing sandwiches through the front window. We sat inside at a table for four. Our service was excellent and the staff super friendly. We had the Parma focaccia sandwich that was warmed and yummy. I loved that it was served on a cutting board with a salad of arugula and tomatoes. We also had croissants and chocolate pastries. We enjoyed it all thoroughly with a bottle of crisp Prosecco. It was a wonderful afternoon break through visiting the Eiffel Tower and shopping. Would highly recommend! read more

Food and Service was amazing. We showed up without a reservation and they were nice enough to accommodate our group of 4. And while we waited to have our table cleared they brought out glasses of champagne for us. Our table was outside on a chilly night and they provided us with blankets. Carlos our server was excellent and extremely friendly and spoke very good English. The food, drinks and staff were excellent. very friendly and helpful and the food and chefs were directly from Italy. Would go back 10/10 read more

This restaurant was a gem when it came to the food offered. The staff was friendly and professional. You will not be seated inside without a reservation because they tend to be very busy so plan ahead! It was a very cold day when we visited and we had to sit outside ... no one's fault, but our own. If I could suggest something it would definitely be getting some of those hanging heaters for the customers that have to sit outside during the cold months. On a positive note, they did offer warm blankets for each person and they were already laid on each chair, chairs were comfortable. We ordered bruschetta with olives and pesto which we all enjoyed. Since it was freezing we decided on ordering warm beverages, cappuccinos. We ordered a risotto with a very tender piece of beef and a pizza that had fresh tomatoes, cooked ham, olives and ricotta cheese with arugula. It was delicious! My boys ordered fettuccine in red sauce and mushrooms, and pappardelle bolognese and they gave us a taste , yummmm! The great thing is that we saw many locals frequent this place. The reason we knew they were locals is because the waiters knew them by name so they must visit often. In addition this place is within walking distance to the Eiffel Tower!! *** I will add more food pictures soon *** read more

Went to this restaurant that is placed beautifully near the Eiffel tower. the server instantly greeted us and got us seated (it was busy, so make sure to get a reservation). The menu had few items on it, but they also had specials for the day. He was able to translate anything into english that we didn't understand and was very accommodating to any questions that I had. The salad was very fresh and all of the vegetables were really tasty. The risotto was also very exquisite and was a good mix of fig and mushroom. loved this place, and would return if I were back in Paris read more

One of my favorite meals in Paris! I know that's a little strange, because this is Italian food, but it was an absolutely wonderful experience for several reasons. The location is terrific, near the Eiffel Tower, and a great place to get dinner if you're going to see the Eiffel Tower, or go on a cruise on the Seine, etc. The pasta was delicious, the pizza was delicious, the bread was so good, our cocktails were fantastic, and the desserts were out of this world! Get the salted caramel panna cotta immediately. I'm back in the US and I'm still dreaming about it! read more

Best gnocchi of my life! However the pizza and tiramisu were average. Vibe was cool, service was a little slow considering we went early and the restaurant was no where near full. Would return for the pasta only. read more

Arrived late in the evening about an hour before closing, and it was very busy due to the Olympics, but they seated us promptly. Ordered the pappardelle with meat sauce and it was ok. My daughter ordered pizza and liked it. read more

This place was hopping, popular with locals and tourists. Our waiter Carlos was fluent in French, English, Italian and Spanish. We started with the bruschetta special as well as the Ortolana. For our mains, 3 of us chose from the specials board - linguine, ravioli and risotto, and the 4th chose the gnocchi. Carlos recommended a lovely Chardonnay to accompany the meal. Definitely need to make a reservation. Highly recommended. read more

3.5 Service was excellent; and the staff was tolerant of our non-French. They said potato like this "PA TA TA" - we thought it was actually awesome! The bread was made from pizza dough on-site and was really delicious. We started with a small margarita pizza and artichoke appetizer. I'm going to review them on the One-Bite app - the pizza was soggy but the ingredients were very delicious and fresh. I think in Paris - generally stick with French food - but this was a nice spot one street over from the Eiffel Tower. For entrees we had the Chicken Milanese and the parpadelle bolognese. They were both just ok - not very Italian tasting...the sauce was very French and I was hungry and ate it. We met other Americans here - Rob from Texas and his wife. Very nice place to sit and have small bites in a nice area of Paris. There are lots of shops all around. read more

We made a reservation and was immediately seated when we got there 10 minutes early. All the servers spoke several language and they were fast and very kind. The food could you a little more flavor but I understand they try to not put too much of everything and keep the natural flavors and aromas alive. Everything tasted fresh! I love their tiramisu and bread! Ambiance was good, the tables are a bit small but it didn't really bother me since the serves were so good at picking up empty dishes. read more

Fantastic service. I booked a reservation in advance it took a bit to get the confirmation email back but def worth making a reservation way ahead of time. Great location, wonderful staff. Would highly recommend read more

I made reservations about a month in advance, but do to the high demand of this restaurant, even in the off season, we were asked to come later, and still waited 30 mins for a table (1h from original rsvp time). Others that were less persistent waited well over an hour past their reservation time. They did provide free Prosecco due to the delay which was appreciated. The carbonara was great. No cream sauce, very authentic. Al dente noodles. The pizza was ok. Looked phenomenal, but was soggy in the center. All pizzas in France seem to come uncut, so you struggle to cut a semi-cooked, soft pizza with a steak knife. The website also boasts views of the Eiffel Tower. Which is not true. There is no table or seat anywhere that has a view of the tower. However, good food is clearly the drawing point for many locals of Italian heritage, who opted to wait in line and forgo the Italian spot next door that was completely open. read more

Very disappointed with our dining experience. Staff was incredibly slow and had us crammed in the corned table even though there was plenty of space. There was a language barrier, but instead of taking time to understand what we were asking for, they would bring us out random drinks. The pizza was soggy and slimy, and made us sick after 2 slices. The seafood pasta had no flavor. read more

This is the BEST Italian restaurant in Paris! It's comparable to the best in Italy! Located by the eiffle tower, Pippo is here himself working his restaurant and treating his clients like gold! No wonder there is a line up at the door! Don't worry though. He is opening an extension across the street due to the high demand. He is a family man and makes the time to connect with every single guest. Ok the good. To die for! Hand made pasta of course! The images are all half eaten it was sooo good everyone got busy eating minutes after we got our meals. Eating slow is not our forte. I guess we aren't very French that way. Check out Pippo you will absolutely not be disappointed read more

A non-touristy Italian restaurant very convenient to the Eiffel Tower. Very small, very close seating, and service can be very relaxed but the food is lovely. The complimentary bread is outstanding. The kitchen has a great idea of what to do with dough. The pizzas are not American-style (a very good thing). There are 3 different doughs, all authentic Italian styles, and varied interesting toppings. One pizza can easily serve 2 or 3-4 with a starter. We had a knock-out Gorgonzola risotto with asparagus and a pan-fried gnocchi with a Taleggio sauce, both very rich, both delicious. Good for solo diners, couples, and families with children. read more

When we planned our trip to the Eiffel, we tried to set a reservation for Chez Pippo for 8. Initially, the rezzy was rejected, but after a sales associate at a luxury store helped us call the restaurant, we were able to score a 9:30 pm reservation. The restaurant mentioned the rezzy would be closer to 10 pm. We were all exhausted, hungry, and thirsty and relieved to be seated. Similar to most restaurants in Paris, it is very narrow in the restaurant, and it was kind of the staff to accommodate our large party in the back of the restaurant. Stars of the meal: soft bread, Caccio e pepe with goat cheese. One of the most unique takes on the dish I've had. La Suprema: Had the spicy sausage that was delicious. Gnocchi in cream sauce with crispy prosciutto Pasta Bolognese (Pappardelle). Dish we didn't care too much for is the pizza with ham. Tip: When they ask you if you would like water, unless you want to pay for water, you must clearly state that you want tap water. Distilled water is $6 a bottle and we ended up being charged for six bottles. When we mentioned it may have been helpful to inform us before we ordered it, they took off $4 from the bill lol. Tip: Make reservations in advance because this place is worth eating at! read more

What on earth? As a Parisian stuck in a touristic area to have dinner with my daughter I was hedging the risk. This totally exceeded expectation. Gosh this place is good, I ll cross town to come now. I left thinking that if only places like that exists when I was a child there. Ok, how good is it? - First, this place is honest in not trying to pretend it is either authentically Italian or "a place where the locals hang out". the ambiance is busy with English speaking crowd, and it embraces it, so English speaker you are welcome and come prepared for that (and, as expected, a certain price tag). Not the place to catchup the meal you missed in Venezia or to impress your partner with "off the beaten track" feeling, but except for that you are in good hands. - The waiters are surprisingly welcoming and nice (had no reservation but they arranged something, asked for things to take away, had my 6 year old being funny and they were nice). I could tell it was the same for other non local family and in fact it was really half Fench half foreigner (during non holliday), good sign. - The pizzas are superior to anything I have seen around except 1-2 places in Paris. Dont compare to Rome or Napoli but is that the point? the dough was especially well thought of (with different flour depending on ingredients). - The pasta were also, superior, absolutely a step above regular well made home cooking, and pleasing with good choices. - As a good test, the cheapest wine was decent and a perfect pairing to well done simple fare. - One of the specials (using raw fish and an interesting sauce) really stole the show and I brought one home. Now it is one of the nicest evening I had in Paris in a long time. If you ever hear a Parisian complaining about "all the things getting worst", well first bring them to another city (like New York or London) where it is truely getting worse :), then bring them here: you could not combine this quality with this friendliness at this price in 1990s or 2000s in Paris. read more
