Followed other reviewers and we were pleased. We ordered pizza (the truffle and mushroom one) , spaghetti and Bolognese sauce and the veal. Food was very good. The pizza was the best. We added spicy sausage to the pizza and they were happy to accommodate. Service was on point even though they were busy. We asked if they would let us charge our phones and they also accommodated. Overall great experience and if you're in the mood for Italian near the Louvre, this is the place to go. read more

Honestly the best pasta I have ever had. Location is wonderful, right on the Place Marché Saint Honoré, not far from Place Vendôme and Opéra. With two girlfriends this is "our spot". It's fantastic. I love coming here because it's big, the menu has so many choices and it's the upper end of reasonable. I always get the truffle cream pasta with asparagus and speck, but a few other things on the menu have caught my eye. I'd also like to suggest their fried mozzarella as a starter. They've also got a nice wine menu with table wine if you're looking to spend less. read more

Very nice and good service - the wine was good and the food was great. Their Seafood pasta is the best!

We wanted a pizza while I. Paris. This place has good Yelp reviews and was close to our hotel. The pizza was great! Everything that went by our table looked great. We are going back for the Veal in the next day or two. read more

Gambino - Great pizza @ 18€ ! - Italian Near Me - Paris, 75

Don't let the average two € price tag fool you. This place is expensive! Yes, it's good, but at the end of the day, pastas and pizzas for two adults and a toddler should not end up costing over 60€. We ordered a classic Margherita pizza, spaghetti Bolognese and buttered noodles for our daughter. We don't drink alcohol, so my husband ordered a coke and I had an Orangina. As I said, the food was good. But it wasn't anything that wowed us or left us wanting more. I enjoyed my pizza and my husband liked the meatiness of the beef bolognese. But he didn't think it was anything memorable. The portions were generous which does make sharing easy. The service was also a little lackluster. My husband wanted another coke but it never happened. We finally had to flag our server down to get the check. The place was definitely packed and the ambiance was cozy. There was no AC, so at 7 months pregnant, I was sweating bullets by the time I had eaten my meal. Perhaps we should have ordered something else, but the menu is pork heavy (which we don't eat) and most of the options were off limits as a result. With so many other places around, i'd pick something else for sure. Live and learn! read more

This place was a great find but much as I hate to play party pooper, Yelpers, I just don't get the raves (in English and French) about the amazing food. Let's review the good: - Hearty portions . Even the wine is served in a style I would like to call a l'americain... in a big ol' glass, just how I like it. - The service was excellent! My European sensibilities were thrown off by both the massive portions and the friendly multi-lingual service. When I told the waitress I wanted something with greens but not such a large salad as I saw on the table next to me, she made me a little side salad and didn't even charge me for it. Above and beyond? What is this?? - Great fresh bread and spicy infused olive oil - Definitely cheap and cheerful, especially for Paris. I paid 22 EUR for dinner with a glass of wine. Starters run about 15-18 EUR but look as big as mains. Let's review the meh: - I had high expectations, so I deviated from my normal Italian of pizza and/or salad and ordered pasta. It was 3-star OK...not bad, but not terribly flavorful - No mint tea or herbal teas :/ Overall, a solid 3.5 star restaurant experience. read more

Gambino - Artichoke and speck tagliatelle - Italian Near Me - Paris, 75

Great ambiance and tasty food. The place was easy to find, placed right off the Opera boulevard. We enjoyed the house wine, an aromatic spaghetti with black truffles and mushrooms and a couple of delicious pizzas. The service was fine and quick and the pricing was right. read more

Lovely atmosphere, good pasta, large portions. Nothing spectacular but a solid choice for when you need a break from French food.

Probably the best Italian food I've ever had (haven't been to Italy yet). The mushroom stuffed tortellini with black truffle cream sauce was one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. The bread assortment was wonderful and the atmosphere was great. Definately a must when you're in Paris. read more

Gambino - Raviollini - Italian Near Me - Paris, 75

This is place is a bit of a hidden gem in my eyes. I'm not sure why people don't talk about it more often - it is my favourite Italian in Paris. It is not the most budget-friendly and it is best to reserve (ask for a table downstairs), but it is definitely a place worth checking out. First of all, the antipasti are great if that is what you like - a lovely selection of good quality Italian meats and cheese. They come on a big platter so great for sharing. Main courses are around 17-20 euros and I have only ever tested personally the pastas, although my companion almost also orders pizza. The pasta dishes are interesting and flavours are rich. Perhaps not as great as you may find in Italy, but it certainly takes the top spot in Paris for me and I've tried many. I also like that you can find less common pasta 'shapes' here too. Portions are huge so you'll never leave feeling anything less than stuffed. Especially as they bring a bread basket over with three types of bread. What's more, the ambiance is always so lovely, quite romantic and the staff are very friendly which is a bonus considering its rather touristic location. The interior is cosy yet modern. I often go for birthdays, anniversaries and celebratory meals because I know I can count on the quality of the food and the ambiance. read more

We stopped by Gambino on our first night in Paris. A little jet lagged but functioning. The staff was welcoming and spoke English very well. The restaurant was buzzing but we were seated without delay. Normally, I would have ventured around the menu a little more but I think the jet lag was messing with my appetite a bit so nothing was looking good; my wife had the same affliction. Perhaps we were so hungry that everything looked good making it impossible to decide. Eventually we ordered pizzas and I was very pleased with my selection of the Parma Pizza. In fact, I enjoyed it better than the pizzas I had in Italy the previous year. IDK why I like this one better but I did. My wife ordered a Margarita and enjoyed it as well. I'd happily go back and recommend you give Gambino a try too. read more

Great Italian food. Ordered pizza and seafood pasta and they are both so delicious. Lots of seafood in the dish so satisfied. Too full to have desert. Quite lucky to go without reservations. read more

Delicious!!! Came to Paris from the US to spend the holidays. So satisfied when i found this place 3 blocks from my hotel.... the service was great and the food was even better. Had a group of 5 and we all got something different to eat so we can taste a lot. The Torino pizza was so good!!! My sister got the Alfredo and it was the best i had ever had. I will be going one more time before my trip ends here in Paris. read more

While traveling from Texas on vacation, my girlfriend and I found this place on yelp. Such a great find, and the Interior was gorgeous. The staff was amazing and our waiter (Elliot) was so darn handsome. Perfect amount of attention to our table and he was so sweet. We had the veal and some mozzarella sticks. They also bring out fresh bread which was on point. Hope I get to visit this place again one day. Would highly recommend. read more

Great gnocchi! I was actually full from a late lunch earlier so I only finished a third of the plate and planned to take the rest home. Unfortunately the server cleared my plate while I was conversing with a neighboring table and did not pack my entree. I suppose the French does not believe in leftovers? I was super disappointed and was really looking forward to finishing it. read more

Our first time in Paris and we were looking for a place to eat dinner and found this gem. Pasta was really good. We got the lasagna, penne all alfredo and the spaghetti pesto. All were delicious. It had a cozy feel and a great place to go with friends. Would recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

The place gets better and better each time we go. The pizza is as close to Pizza from Naples that I've found. The Pasta carbonara is better than anything I've ever had in Rome or Italy. Trust me. I'll be back. read more

Visiting from the US for a few days. Was looking for dinner in walking distance from Quarte-Septembre subway station. Decided on this place because of reviews, portions, and the seating is not as tight and stuffy as many french restaurants. Perfect ambiance. Dress/casual with personal touch decor that contrasts the bare-bones interior architecture (in a good way). Ordered caprice salad, spaghetti carbonara, and the penne Porto-something (pesto, tomato sauce & ricotta) - can't remember on account of carafe of house red wine I drank myself... 5 stars because: 1. Seated right away 2. I didn't have to shout to talk with company 3. Salad, bread and wine came out promptly 4. Waitress was friendly and happy to speak English. 5. Food and wine was absolutely the best meal I've had in Europe thus far. 6. Seating was spacious and semi-private 7. Lighting was good but not too bright, or too dark. 8. They were NOT filled to capacity. People were still coming in and going upstairs when we left. (We got there just after 7) Oh, the bread and chili oil and as amazing. I suspect they make it and the mozzarella in-house. If you're in the area, go here. read more

Great food! Service was quick and portions were surprisingly large for what I was expecting in Paris. Some of the best bolagnese I've had!

Great service, the pizza was good. The truffle pasta was a little too rich for my taste but we enjoyed the overall experience

Tortellini with mushroom was rich and hearty! We were sat quite quickly in a full restaurant. It is a very small restaurant that you will basically be touching shoulders with the table next to you. If you can get past that, the tortellioni was amazing!!! I ate every bit of the sauce- and the price wasn't that bad either read more

It is not suitable for Chinese stomach. We order two dishes: squid ink linguine（墨鱼意面）; lasagna(千层面). Both are just okay. For drink, we order Apple juice and tomato juice. Apple juice is just so so, but not deserve 5 euro. The waitress give us Tabasco with tomato juice... actually, for us it is a disaster. Maybe only because we order the wrong dishes. I recommend to eat French cuisine in Paris! read more

My boyfriend and I split a pizza here. We just told our waitress what we were in the mood for so she recommend a prosciutto pizza covered in arugula. The sauce was really good on the pizza and arugula is always a wonderful compliment to prosciutto. My only problem with the pizza is that the crust was super soft and had no texture. They have three different kinds of olive oils to dip with your bread. The spicy one is no joke. Service was alright, nothing spectacular. read more

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. We were looking for a nice scrumptious Italian meal in the middle of Paris and stumbled upon this restaurant after reading numerous reviews. The margarita pizza, gnocchi, baked pasta, tomato burrata, and tiramisu were excellent. The service was ok the spot and they spoke English as well. If your looking for Italian consider Gambino. read more

Lovely Italian. Friendly staff. Massive portions - they'll even box them up for you to take away for later. I've been a few times now & have tried a few things from their menu. Pizza's are great, salads are great. Solid wine less too. Only reason it doesn't get a 5 star rating is that there's no outdoor seating. read more

This place was awesome. Make sure to get a reservation, it gets busy. Loved the chili oil, it has a nice heat...so nice we bought 2 bottles! Fantastic staff and amazing food! Our family (4 adults/4 kids) creating fun and exciting memories here last night! Bon Appetite! read more

Not at all impressed. Busy tourist-filled spot. Pasta didn't taste homemade. More like something I can make out of a bag at home. Didn't feel authentic. Few locals around. Most American tourists going off good yelp reviews, like we did. The less-reviewed holes in the walls are the true hidden food gems. Not this. read more

Me and my boyfriend were both craving pasta for dinner and search far and wide on yelp before deciding to go here and we couldn't have chosen better. The service was amazing, the staff was funny and playful and most of all it was the best pasta I've ever had. I got the mini penne with crab meat and shrimp that just melted in my mouth. It was perfectly cooked and everything fused together beautifully. I tasted some of my boyfriends carbonara as well. Although a pretty simple pasta dish, their interpretation of it was simply amazing. All in all, we had an even better meal than we were expecting. Would highly, highly recommend this restaurant! We are already planning to go back and brainstorming what to get next time. read more

We had a truly amazing experience at this adorable Parisian restaurant. The food was incredible. I ordered the pasta pesto, and my boyfriend got the veal. We both agreed it was one of the best meals we had during our 10 day stay in Paris. The chestnut cake with ice cream that we had for dessert was by far one of my favorite desserts as well. However, perhaps even better than the food was the incredible wait staff. We arrived right before they were getting ready to take care of a 20+ person group. Our waiter, Elliot, was considerate enough to make an effort to get our orders in before the party so we wouldn't have to wait since there were only two of us. He gave us excellent recommendations, conversation, and the other waiters checked on us as well to make sure we were satisfied. We absolutely loved the whole experience! read more
