    antipasto land and sea
    Ed C.

    The food was out of this world. The service was excellent. Staff treats you like family. The dining room was cozy and inviting. Menu is available via the QR CODE on the table. Menu is available in multiple languages. Wine list is compact but has many stellar choices. Wife and I had a two bottle dinner. We enjoyed two apps, two mains and two desserts as well. Come check them out. Enjoy!!!

    Linguica Carbonara was perfection. The mushroom and truffle pappardelle is worth flying back from USA for again!

    Amazing food, upstairs and downstairs dining. We liked the downstairs watching the kitchen and talking with the owner whose personality is charming and funny!

    Great Italian restaurant in France! This is a nice quaint restaurant only a few steps away from the Champs De Elyse. A nice reprieve from tourist restaurants nearby. We had the Calabrese pizza and a pasta dish and both were fantastic!

    Vegetarian pizza and their bread/cheese/meet starter

    Service was great, food was delicious, and wines were amazing. I had both a rosé and the montepulciano. Would be back again!

    Children's bunny pizza

    Small cozy restaurant. The food was great from the salads to the pastas to the pizzas. The servers were nice and energetic. I forgot to take a picture but we had a black truffle pizza that was amazing and I never had anything like that in the states. I wished that I actually lived in Paris so I can come back more often!

    (The world's best) Tiramisu

    I want to start off by saying we walked in here on a whim. We had a long day of sightseeing and honestly, not the best meals. We were all very hungry, and maybe a little cranky. My daughter is not the most adventurous eater she just wanted a plate of pasta. Something hearty and filling. So we chose this restaurant as a place to *hopefully* just get a quick fix of something. We were seated right away, and offered drinks. I made my first mistake of not getting the gentleman's name who was working that night. He must be part owner or the owner because the immense pride he took in catering to everyone's needs was incredible. Every person that came in, whether it was take out or sit down, he struck up A conversation and made sure they were ordering/receiving EXACTLY what they wanted. I ordered white wine, my husband a red. He offered us a couple different samples to ensure we'd enjoyed our glass of wine. Then onto ordering our dishes. My daughter was offered a test of cheese and a sample of herbs they were using to make the special of the day, they accommodated her dish to make sure she'd like it. We ordered one of the specials, penne arrabbiata, the calzone with jamón, and pasta puttanesca. All were FANTASTIC...truthfully, beyond what we expected. But one of the best parts, as if the food wasn't enough. Was dessert. We finished with the tiramisu. I've been to many places. Italy, NYC, East Coast, West Coast. This may very well be worth visiting Paris again, because I'm dreaming of this dessert daily!!

    We picked L'Italien by random and it was a perfect choice. I was the only strictly English speaker in a group of 5. Not once did I feel the service was poor. The service in fact was over and beyond. I got the crème de curry pizza. The taste was amazing. The curry flavor was well balanced and unlike any curry dish I have had. I recommend this place for any tourist, native, etc. Bon à petit!

    We came here for dinner since it was right across the street from our hotel. As soon as we sat down…read morewe thought everything was fine until a rat showed up right next to us by our feet. When we told the server that there was a rat all he said was "this is Paris" we asked if he could move it and he said "no, this is Paris don't worry." If it was just Paris we wouldn't have had other parisians in the restaurant being freaked out about. I get it we are Americans and aren't used to it, but not even putting the rat outside after we asked them to is awful. We stayed at the restaurant although we shouldn't have. The food took an hour and a half to come out, and the server was pretty awful. Typical for Paris but even worse than usual. The prices were outrageous and the food did not taste good whatsoever. Highly don't recommend this place if you value a good atmosphere without eating next to rats. French translation: Nous sommes venus dîner dans ce restaurant, situé juste en face de notre hôtel. À peine installés, tout semblait aller bien jusqu'à ce qu'un rat apparaisse à nos pieds. Lorsque nous l'avons signalé au serveur, il s'est contenté de répondre : " Ici, c'est Paris. " Nous lui avons demandé de le déplacer, et il a rétorqué : " Non, c'est Paris, ne vous inquiétez pas." Si c'était un rat typiquement parisien, les autres clients du restaurant ne s'en seraient pas inquiétés. Je comprends que nous soyons Américains et que nous n'y soyons pas habitués, mais refuser de sortir le rat après notre demande est inadmissible. Nous sommes restés au restaurant, à tort. L'attente pour les plats a été d'une heure et demie, et le service était exécrable. Typique de Paris, mais pire que d'habitude. Les prix étaient exorbitants et la nourriture absolument immangeable. Je déconseille fortement cet endroit si vous appréciez une ambiance agréable sans avoir à dîner à côté de rats.

We loved the service, attentive, friendly, answering lots of questions. Good wine list. Overall, somewhat expensive, but it's Paris. The carpaccio of beef was great as was the spinach ravioli with truffles. The only "miss" here was that the black truffles seemed to lack power and flavor which they sometimes do. I am not a truffle expert, but sometimes they pack a lot of very good punch and sometimes you can barely taste them, and in this case it was the latter. Feel like we got head-faked into the truffle menu and might have been better off on the regular one. Suggest: smell the truffles when they show them to you and if it's not fairly overpowering, then don't order. The bellinis were fanastic on the other hand. Overall, I'd definitely come back if I want a fancy Italian meal not far from the Champs Elyseees.

    We stopped by this place our first night in Paris less than a half hour prior to their closing…read moretime. They were closed the following day (Sunday) so we were somewhat surprised to be greeted warmly and shown to a table which they made up for us. We were given a couple of menus, and told by our waiter in a nice way that the clock was ticking for the kitchen so we quickly chose a couple of pizzas and a bottle of wine. Having worked in kitchens before, I know first hand that latecomers are not the most welcome by the kitchen staff when they are trying to clean up and get out to enjoy their evening and the following day off. The food was wonderful, pizza dough was crispy, the toppings fresh in spite of the late hour, and the wine was excellent. Now the prices we have come to recognize in our first few days in Paris are pretty steep relative to Vancouver, which is saying something, but we feel we got our monies worth. One thing to remember in France when using a credit card is that you cannot add a tip on the machine, so bring cash with you to tip. If you add it to the bill on the machine the establishment gets the money not the person who waited upon you. Cash goes to them and them alone. We are leaving Paris in the morning and heading back to Fenice again this evening, a little earlier this time to enjoy their fine food one more time. Highly recommended from our first experience, here's hoping for a repeat. Bon appetit! VISIT #2 Ate here a second time while in Paris and were surprised that we were recognized upon our arrival and once again seated at the same table we had had a couple of evenings prior. I can only say that our second experience was even better than our first. Our food was outstanding, the service first class. We only wish we had more nights in Paris to sample more of the menu.

The restaurant did not disappoint. After delicious starters of eggplant, rocket and Parma ham we enjoyed scrumptious mains with veal, beef medallions, lamb and rhombus pasta all thoroughly enjoyed. The dinner was perfectly complimented with two Cabernet Sauvignons from different regions each uniquely delicious. Finished with a tasty selection of dessert and coffee. Service was excellent, and the atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable with a nice ambiance from other guests. I can highly recommend this restaurant.
