Gambino - Italian Near Me - Paris, 75

Recommended by our hotel. Food was excellent as was the service. Had the pizza with truffles and pasta pomodoro with burrata.

Great, incredible Italian food. If you're American in Paris and looking for a place to eat near the louvre , DO NOT HESITATE. Incredible pasta dishes, you will want to return and try more. We stopped and had drinks beforehand elsewhere, as this is more "glass of wine" than "cocktails" vibe. Casual dining, gets busy after 8. read more

I have been to Italy twice. This was the best Italian food I've ever had in my life. Absolutely delicious. Black truffle for tortellini, and spaghetti bolognese. FanTASTIC. Also, we had caprese salad before, and it contained the best buffalo mozzarella I've ever had. Simply insane. read more

Gambino - Spaghetti Pomodoro puglia with a truffle Burrata - Italian Near Me - Paris, 75

Gambino is a pretty average Italian restaurant. We ordered the truffle tortellini and the prosciutto pizza (casa). The portion sizes were gigantic, which is good considering the price tag. The pizza we ordered was extremely salty. Maybe it was the prosciutto, but still, they did not do a good job of balancing the flavors... rather then just threw on the ingredients listed, baked it, and served it. Maybe try a different pizza, but in my opinion, the pizza we ordered did not have great flavor nor was the texture that good. The flavor of the pasta was decent. I wish they had more of the truffle cream sauce because the tortellini itself was very hard and kind of dry. Overall, he atmosphere is fine, service is relatively fast... but the food is subpar, average at best, compared to other Italian restaurants I've dined at. read more

Awesome ambience. Delicious wood-fired pizza and pasta. The Caesar salad was not what I expected. Dressing was bland mayonnaise tasting and it had fried chicken on it ‍ I'm used to the kind with lemon and a bit of anchovy as it was invented in Baja mexico. I would have given a 5 but for the salad. read more

The fact that I found this restaurant on Yelp after months for looking for it. My friends and I were walking around town where we stopped into​ this restaurant. This place was amazing, and the atmosphere was just great. I had ​penne pasta and shared a pizza with one of my friends. The servers we had were great. The food was affordable​ and I really enjoyed my experience. So much that I had to find this restaurant again! read more

Gambino - Penne à la sauce tomate et basilic - Italian Near Me - Paris, 75

Ordered the lasagne and a glass of wine. Food was very hot but taste was average at best. The sauce lacked flavor and the salad was a handful of arugula with some tomatoes. Perhaps I chose the wrong item but I won't be returning. read more

I got the truffle tortellini like everyone else, and yes it's stupid delicious. I couldn't walk after because I inhaled a plate full. If you could bottle up the scent of this pasta, I would use it to fill my apartment. Before, we got the bruschetta and just look how beautiful. The seafood risotto also rivaled the truffle tort. I'm in love with this place read more

We came here for my birthday lunch right after a long tour at the louvre. And wow....... Please come here. Do not skip out on this Italian restaurant. The pasta was so rich with flavour and every bite was exceptionally satisfying. The house red was so good and they do not rip you off on the portions. Service was also amazing and the staff were so helpful with recommendations on what else to do in Paris. We still dream about theses pastas to this day even now that we're home! read more

This place is tucked in on a side street in the Paris Opera district...but it is worth finding! The staff are friendly and helpful (they got me right in on a Friday night without a reservation!), and the food is quite good! Not knowing the size of the food, I ordered a half bottle of wine (good prices!) and a pizza to munch on while I waited for my lasagna. The food came out extremely fast, and the service was attentive and good (in English, too!). The pizza was good..but the lasagna was outstanding. If you like cheese in your lasagna, you are in the right spot...tons of noodles and cheese, and well baked! Delicious! They don't rush you out the door after dinner, and let you stay and have an after dinner drink without pressure. The prices are fair (hey, after all, you ARE in Paris), and you will be well taken care of at Gambino. Also, maybe make a reservation? It seemed to get really busy after 7pm. read more

If you are in Paris and craving pizza, this is a must do. I was here for a work related trip and the concierge at Hotel du Louvre recommended this place. It's about a ten minute walk. We all shared a plate of prosciutto/buffalo mozzarella and then ordered several pizzas. You MUST try the chili oil... Omg it is amazing. Heat like you wouldn't believe and they should SELL this in the USA :). We had the Diavola and the Regina pizza. Both absolutely amazing, especially with the chili sauce on top. We had fantastic wine, Valpolicella Ripasso. Server was from Senegal, Aminata, and she was fantastic. The ambiance is wonderful here too.. Over 500 years old, original walls and beams. You cannot beat this place. When I bring my family back- we will be here!! read more

Came here for dinner without a reservation, the staff was so friendly and punctual.

Gambino is near Place du Marché Saint'Honoré. It's a small but cozy restaurant with great service and even better food. They have a very broad selection of wines and liquors. So I started with a Cinzano. I eat a whole pizza pie, which I haven't done in a long time, which should tell you how good it was (I had the Casa). The couples at the tables around me were raving about their food too. read more

So my first night in Paris with my best friend and we spent hours looking on yelp for a place to have dinner. We were jet lagged and starving. Luckily we came across Gambino. It was a bit crowded and warm; however, the food was amazing. The wait staff seemed a little busy and tended to forget about us occasionally but we understood. The had a full house both upstairs and downstairs. My best friend had the Casa pizza and I got the Lasagna Bolognese. The pizza was a little softer towards the center but the ingredients on it tasted so fresh. The lasagna was a cheese lover's paradise. You knew our food was fresh because our plates were burning. Even by the time we couldn't eat anymore, it was still steaming! Definitely was a great first experience, especially since we couldn't speak an ounce of French. Keep in mind the wait staff maybe be busy and you might have to flag them down yourselves if you need something. Overall I would definitely recommend this hidden gem. read more

We stopped by here because we were waiting to be able to check into our room at a nearby hotel. What we didn't expect was that we would have one of our most memorable meals here. My wife had a farfalle pasta with a truffle cream and prosciutto. I had a linguini with black truffle sauce. Both were amazingly flavorful and we have never had pasta served like this. What I mean is that cream sauces that we often had in the US were often heavy. Our cream sauces were light and flavorful without any hint of heavy or greasy texture. It was just really nice. In a place where water and coke can cost 4-5 euros, it was nice to be able to get their house wine for 6 euros. For dessert, we had their salted caramel lava cake, which was probably the best dessert we had over the course of our trip to Paris. This meal was a delightful surprise at the end of a trip of great meals. If you find yourself in this area, it's definitely worth stopping by for an Italian lunch or dinner! read more

This restaurant was incredible! The man who I presume is the manager was welcoming. Prior to walking are way there I've tried to stop and get food because my husband was hangry and the French waiters/workers were completely rude and not welcoming. So coming here was such a breath of fresh air. The ambiance is nice with modern rustic vibe. The waiter we had spoke English and helped us order. The food was so delicious. We had cannelloni and pizza and man it was incredible! The Italian food here is so much better then the states. They have real cheese here! Which is not a surprise when you live in the states. All around completely great food and service! read more

Like another reviewer before me, I was a single, non-French speaking American to try this restaurant. Same experience - lovely atmosphere, friendly service, great food. Had the gnocchi- really high quality. House wines are good and cheap. Felt very comfortable hanging at a table by myself. Highly recommended. read more

If you value quantity, decency and low price over high quality then Gambino is your place. The food was prepared quickly and the portions were huge. However, the quality of the ingredients were adequate but lacking for yours truly because I prefer to pay-up for Imberico jambon rather than consume domestic (US) prosciutto. We ordered a couple of different meat infused salads that when they came out looked alike. We also ordered the pasta carbonara to split. All three dishes were huge and each could easily be split by three. This was a dead giveaway that this was a quantity over quality place (I'll explain below why). When the pasta 'carbonara' arrived the sauce was thick and tantamount to an out of the jar alfredo, with large ham morsels thrown in. Taste was ok but it most certainly was not a quality carbonara. Price to quality dilemma: Folks, restaurants are businesses that need to make a profit. If a restaurant is offering a premium costly product like seafood or meats at a very low price, do you think they are providing you with quality products? I know that there those that may say that the establishment may be making its money on the beverages etc etc etc but the general rule of thumb still holds true that if you are receiving an unusual amount of prosciouto and other expensive meats--as was the case with Gambino--but are paying 12 Euros, the quality of the meats is going to be low. And, it was. The waitress suggested a great tasting $35 Euro red wine. Bargain you say? Not when a quick search on Vivino revealed that the retail price for the wine as around $6. I believe this is the single biggest markup of wine at a restaurant that I've ever paid. I also believe this is the single greatest wine value if I can get my hands on some of this wine back in the States. Gambino becomes busy with bargain seekers of food and experience. I, on the other hand, prefer a bespoke dining experience; especially in Paris. So in closing this is a great place for budget conscious diners with strong stomachs. read more

Don't to be dramatic but a lot of my meals in Paris were very mediocre and this was by far the best meal I ever had. It was so good I went twice during my trip. This was by far the best Italian I've ever had. I had the truffle tortellini and it was beyond amazing. 10/10 I would have it everyday for the rest of my life read more

Our party was split on what we wanted for dinner, so we split up for dinner! After ensuring the others found their ramen shop, I walked a few more blocks to Gambino. It is just a half block or so off Avenue de l'Opera, but the streets branch so a map-app will help. I arrived around 6:30 p.m. on a Saturday. They were getting crowded but had tables available. I was seated promptly and my server was friendly. I think I ordered a tortellini dish and finished it; good quality. Their wine was good and not overpriced. The interior vibe is more 'bar' than 'french cafe' or 'italian', but I wasn't that concerned about vibe. If you're in the area, this is a good choice for a quick pasta. read more

Huge portions, friendly funny service, great ambiance. Did not expect super Italian food in Paris, and hoped against hope they'd have my beloved squid-ink pasta. . . They had it, it was BOMB. Like, as good as I had in Venice and remembered fondly for years. Hubby enjoyed his meaty-meaty-pizza he doused in the chili oil they leave on the table, and I was thrilled to have my linoncello at citron glacé dessert I've discovered here in France. Great Italian food, reasonable prices, great service. What more can you want in a meal? read more

Gambino - Squid ink linguini with BIG scallops. Rich. Intense. - Italian Near Me - Paris, 75

First off, I'm going to start by saying that the staff here is so nice and attentive. Had amazing service from the time we walked in the door until we walked back out. The food is a bit pricey, but depending on what you order, like the pizza, you get a lot and it's worth it. My husband ordered one of their pizzas (the Salumeria) and he could only eat half of it because it was so large. It was also loaded with toppings as well and tasted great. For myself, I went for the squid ink pasta with scallops since I had been dying to try squid ink pasta and this was my first time seeing it on the menu anywhere. Absolutely loved it and the flavor (a bit salty with olive oil and a bit of a seafood type taste), however if you think you may be turned off by eating black pasta then maybe avoid this one. Also got the house red wine and it was a great pour, definitely worth the 6€. read more

So we were craving something other than such and saucy French food after several days of eating it every meal and found this cozy and very hospitable Italian restaurant nearby. The place was small but comfortable and the server spoke really good English and helped us with awesome suggestions. We ordered a burrata appetizer which was excellent and shared truffle wild mushroom tagliatelle. It was tasty but because we ate so much fresh bread with the appetizer we couldn't even finish the main dish. Still definitely recommend for someone looking to take a break from French food. read more
